Achieve a Fresher Face in 30 Minutes with Photo Facial

If you are self-conscious about blotches or blemishes on your face, several 30-minute sessions of a revolutionary treatment may be all it takes to restore your confidence and smooth skin. With Photo Facial, a laser treatment that treats a variety of cosmetic skin concerns, patients can achieve more even and beautiful skin. If you suffer from any of the following symptoms, talk to your medical spa about the Photo Facial treatment and if it would benefit you. 

• Redness and Small Veins: The Intense Pulsed Light of BodyNew MedSpa’s Photo Facial system targets skin damage, constricting damaged veins and minimizing the appearance of redness or visible veins. While full results can take several treatments, some patients will start to see visible results within 24 hours of their first treatment. Even patients suffering from severe rosacea should see noticeable results from the procedure.
• Sun Damage and Blemishes: Because the Photo Facial treatment targets red or brown pigment in the skin, it can be especially effective for sun damage and age spots. A few days or weeks after your procedure, you may notice brown sunspots or other blemishes fading from or flaking off your skin. This happens gradually but may become more noticeable after two weeks.
• Wrinkles: The Photo Facial laser stimulates collagen production, which can add facial volume and reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Results can take anywhere from 5 to 12 weeks. While the procedure only takes around 30 minutes per session, five sessions are usually recommended, depending on the extent of skin damage.
• Unwanted Hair and Scarring: A side effect of Photo Facial treatments can be to minimize unwanted facial hair and scarring. The treatments can reduce the appearance of facial scarring caused by acne, trauma or other causes, and can also cause a slowing of hair growth over several sessions.

A Patient Guide to Peel Procedures

Keeping your skin smooth and healthy is a key component of maintaining a youthful appearance. If you have dull, dry, or damaged skin, talk to your doctor or medical spa about peel procedures that can revitalize your skin and improve its tone and texture. Depending on your skin type and needs, you may benefit from a chemical peel or a laser peel, both of which can minimize wrinkles, even skin tone, and smooth the skin.

Chemical Peels

A chemical peel will can remove layers of dead, dull skin cells that can cause cosmetic imperfections and a dull, tired facial appearance. Helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and uneven skin pigmentation, chemical peels can benefit patients with a variety of skincare concerns. Depending on your skin’s condition and your goals, you may choose from several chemical peel options, from light to deep. A light chemical peel, for example, removes only the outermost layer of skin while deeper peels may require sedation and an extended recovery period. Other topical peel treatments, like Melanage, are also applied as a mask and can improve the appearance of hyper-pigmentation and other symptoms of sun damage.

Laser Peels

Like a chemical peel, a laser peel removes the top layers of dead cells that dulls the skin. A laser peel typically penetrates more deeply than a light chemical peel but does not require prolonged recovery times. This procedure can help to remove skin imperfections, pore-clogging impurities, and rough patches, leaving you with smoother, younger-looking skin. Other skin conditions a laser peel can address include hyper-pigmentation, acne scars, enlarged pores, birthmarks, scars, tattoos, and precancerous lesions. Your doctor or aesthetician will work with you to determine which laser technology is right for you and your goals.

Makeover Your Skin with Microdermabrasion

A procedure that gently sloughs away dead skin, microdermabrasion can make your skin appear younger and feel softer. Microdermabrasion can be performed in your doctor’s office or medical spa, and patients are free to return to their daily activities immediately after the treatment. Learn more about the procedure, how it is performed, and the skin conditions it can correct in the video below.

Microdermabrasion uses tiny crystals to remove dead skin cells and polish the skin to a smooth and healthy glow. The procedure is painless, but patients may experience a pulling sensation as the crystal particles buff the skin. Microdermabrasion can be used to treat fine lines and wrinkles, unusual pigmentation or age spots, and light scarring. Following the procedure, your skin may be slightly pink or red, so be careful to protect sensitive skin from the sun. While you may see and feel an improvement after one treatment, several treatments can lead to dramatically visible results.

Enhance Your Eyelashes with Latisse

Your eyes can be one of the first features others notice about you, and long and healthy eyelashes can make you look and feel your best. If you have short, thin, or not enough eyelashes, talk to your doctor or medical spa about Latisse. A prescription solution that promotes the growth of longer, thicker lashes, Latisse can enhance your eyelashes and your confidence.

What is Latisse?

Latisse is an FDA-approved, topical solution that can treat hypotrichosis, a condition that produces inadequate eyelashes. Available by prescription, Latisse helps patients to grow longer, thicker, and darker lashes, protecting and enhancing the eyes. If you have thin or no eyelashes, talk to your doctor to see if this treatment may be right for you.

How is Latisse Applied?

The Latisse solution is applied to the upper eyelashes only. Following your doctor's instructions, apply Latisse with a brush or another applicator to the base of the upper eyelashes. Some patients may experience a darkening of skin pigment in the areas that come in contact with the solution.

How Does Latisse Work?

The ingredients in Latisse promote the growth of eyelashes by prolonging the hair growth phase and shortening other phases. By giving your eyelashes more time to grow and to grow more often, the result is thicker, fuller, more visible lashes. The treatment also helps to combat hair loss or eyelash thinning.

Does Latisse Have Contraindications?

Latisse cannot and should not be used on the lower eyelashes. If the solution comes in contact with other parts of the skin, either directly or from lash transference, it could also result in hair growth in those areas. Redness, itching eyes or discoloration of the eyelid can occur, but some of these side effects can be reversed.
