Bid Farewell to Aging Skin
Posted on by AdminNow that we are in the winter months, it is the best time for more aggressive laser treatments. The summer is not the ideal time for these treatments as the risk of sunburn directly after your visit can cause serious damage.
Micro Laser Peels and Deep Fractionated Laser Treatments are wonderful ways to smooth out fine lines, soften coarse lines, tighten and lift lax areas, and of course brighten up your complexion due to the stimulated new collagen growth that is generated! Any time you stimulate the skin, you have increased metabolism of the skin. Just like working out burns fat cells faster, increased metabolism in your skin cells help increase cell turnover which then results in a healthier skin. The penetration of the laser associated with these treatments creates a pathway to healthy, glowing skin. As new collagen produces, our epidermis becomes thicker and the thicker our skin becomes, the healthier it is. As we improve the integrity of the skin, we have resulted in a more tolerable canvas for aggressive procedures or products.
Deep Fractionated Laser is akin to aerating a lawn or punching the greens on a golf course. This laser treatment is the first step to skin resurfacing. It can soften fine lines, which is a fundamental way to address areas around the lips and eyes. The next step is a micro laser peel, which is basically a way to fill in the gaps of the initial aeration process by gently buffing and polishing your skin. These two treatments can be mild or deep and have a few days of downtime, but recovery is amazing. The treatments are controlled injuries caused to the skin to induce collagen production along with skin resurfacing. During the days of recovery following these treatments the skin will appear slightly pink like a sun burn and the texture, soft like a baby’s bottom. Adding a light layer of mineral make up is all you will require during recovery periods.
These in-office treatments can become a regular once a year maintenance and can be continually touched up at home with the right products and regular facial treatments.
