With the holiday season just around the corner, you want to look your very best. The upcoming months are going to packed full of events which means there will be plenty to celebrate with your loved ones. You’ll need to prepare yourself, though, this way you are holiday-ready. What’s best for you? Let’s review some of our common treatments.
Botox
Botox works by interrupting the signals between nerves and muscles. By halting this communication, Botox stops facial muscles that cause wrinkles from contracting. As the muscles relax, wrinkles fade and a new, more youthful appearance will emerge. Start to notice a difference in your skin 48 hours after your treatment. However, the full effects of your treatment will not be noticeable for 10-14 days following your treatment. After 3 months, you will start to see a gradual return of movement. We recommend treating the area before full movement returns. Most patients tolerate Botox injections with minimal discomfort. Patients feel a needle prick with each injection. We can apply a topical numbing cream if desired.Fillers
Fillers are a very versatile treatment option and can provide natural-looking rejuvenation to many different types of patients. From younger patients looking to enhance specific facial features like the lips to older patients who desire fewer wrinkles, fillers can help refresh your appearance with a nonsurgical treatment option. Fillers take some time to integrate into your tissues, and it’s normal for your dermal filler to take up to two weeks to fully settle into your face. Each of our dermal fillers lasts for a different length of time from 12 months to 24 months. In general, fillers that are injected into very mobile areas of your face, like your lips, will wear off more quickly than fillers that are administered into other locations. In addition, your metabolism, lifestyle, and other individual characteristics can alter your skin’s reaction to your filler.CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting is a fat minimizing procedure designed to sculpt and shape your body by freezing away difficult fat cells without going under the knife. The procedure includes the use of monitored cooling (cryolipolysis) to freeze fat cells so that they may be naturally removed from your body to reveal a leaner physique. As a noninvasive fat reduction treatment, CoolSculpting does not require the downtime associated with surgical procedures such as liposuction. Results are permanent but may take 60-90 days before full results.IPL Photo Rejuvenation
IPL Photo Rejuvenation is a non-invasive procedure. Also known as a “photo facial”, IPL skin rejuvenation can reduce and remove age spots (sun-induced freckles), benign brown pigmentation, and redness caused by flushing or broken capillaries on the skin’s surface. IPL utilizes pulses of light strong enough to damage skin lesions and initiates a healing process that will start production of new skin tissues. Typically, cold gel is applied on the skin to help with any discomfort. The eyes are also protected from the intense light. The treatment may only last less than 30 minutes as extended exposure to the laser may cause complications. Patients are able to return to their normal routine after a few hours. It only takes a week to see the initial results of an IPL treatment, and it only takes four to six weeks to see the final results of a given session.PRX Derm Perfection
PRX Derm Perfexion offers significant results by penetrating deep into the dermal and basal layers of skin to stimulate rejuvenation and healing while promoting cell turnover and general skin health. The innovative PRX Derm Perfexion formula powers the treatment itself, and each active ingredient plays a role in the treatment process, delivering exceptional results. The treatment itself is simple and painless. We will thoroughly clean the skin. Then, the PRX Derm Perfexion solution is applied and massaged into the skin until fully absorbed. Typically, patients receive between two and four applications, depending on their treatment plan. Following the applications, a deep moisturizer is applied.SkinPen Microneedling
SkinPen Microneedling is a medical device on the market that has been studied, cleared and approved by the FDA for treatment of adult facial acne scars. However, Skin Pen works on more than just acne scars. Patients see significant improvement in overall skin tone and skin texture with the reduction of fine lines and discoloration as well. This procedure is minimally invasive and is used to improve surface irregularities such as skin texture, tone, and firmness. During microneedling, a device that contains small, fine needles, punctures the skin. These tiny puncture wounds create a “trigger” effect for the production of collagen, which fills these wounds, essentially creating an improvement on the surface of the skin. Most clients see full results at between four and six weeks following treatment. This gives your body enough time to produce collagen and elastin and to send it to your micro wounds. At this point, you’ll notice your skin looking both younger and healthier.Hydrafacial MD
