As summer days are coming to an end, it’s time to revisit your favorite esthetician to remove any and all UV damage from days basking in the sun. At SKINNEY we have a couple options to do just that. Laser treatments are a classic choice for removing sun damage and rebalancing your skin’s functionality.
One of the beauty industries most traditional and favorited laser treatments includes the use of an IPL laser. The SKINNEY Medspa Photofacial consists of an IPL laser that focuses on pulling out pigment beneath the skin, to the surface. Using the latest technology in skin rejuvenation, a Photofacial works by safely emitting an intense pulsed light, also known as an IPL, over targeted areas of the skin. Short, pulsating blasts focus a high energy light below the surface of the skin. This helps stimulate your skin’s natural collagen production and destroys melanin that causes age spots and uneven skin tone. The pigment will be pulled out to the surface of the skin and naturally sloughs away. This service is considered a ‘lunchtime treatment’ as there is no downtime and you walk out of the spa with a light pink glow!
Another SKINNEY favorite is our Clear & Brilliant laser. This technology utilizes an non-ablative fractionalized laser to resurface the skin and improve the appearance of fine lines and uneven skin tone & texture over the course of a series of treatments. The Clear & Brilliant is a personal favorite of mine, I call it the “do-it-all” laser since it tackles almost every skin care concern! Not only does this laser address tone, texture, and signs of aging, but also assists in the reduction of the appearance of pore size. Clear + Brilliant works from the inside out using the laser to gently penetrate the skin with microscopic pinpoints of thermal energy. The penetration of thermal energy can trigger cellular turnover, which can replace the dead and dull outer layer of the skin with a new, rejuvenated layer. Clear & Brilliant also helps to maintain healthy skin by stimulating the body’s natural production of collagen. With two different handpieces, your licensed professional will decide which to use to optimize your skin’s health. The Clear & Brilliant Original helps to tackle all of the above, whereas the Clear & Brilliant Perméa focuses mainly on pigment and product penetration. The Clear + Brilliant Perméa handpiece treatment is optimized for improved skin tone and texture and enhanced skin permeability for added benefits of topical skincare products when applied after your treatment. Unlike other skin resurfacing lasers, Clear + Brilliant is painless, safe on all skin types and requires no downtime. The Clear & Brilliant is otherwise known as the “baby Fraxel”.
Designed by the same provider, the Fraxel laser treatment is a more intensive laser that focuses on tackling aging and sun-damaged skin with microscopic laser treatment zones that penetrate deep into your skin to inhibit your body’s natural healing process, which includes the remodeling of collagen and elastin. “And since the laser treats only a fraction of tissue at a time, it leaves the surrounding tissue intact, which promotes very rapid healing. Fraxel DUAL 1550/1927 treatment resurfaces your skin by stimulating the growth of new, healthy skin cells from the inside out.” (Fraxel website). Both the Clear & Brilliant and Fraxel treatments are approved to treat all skin types.
If you decide to opt out of the laser route, no need to fear! We have your sun damage covered with Microneedling. Rising in popularity, Microneedling is a fantastic non-invasive treatment that assists with sun damage, scarring, pore size, signs of aging, and overall tone and texture of the skin. At SKINNEY Medspa we utilize the MD Microneedling Pen. “Innovative and effective, MDPen activates your body’s natural cellular regeneration to help tighten and lift skin, while minimizing many comon skin problems. MDPen MicroNeedling is used for skin revitalization and can be used in conjunction with other treatments.” (from MD Pen website) Treatments are minimally invasive, virtually painless and do not require lengthy recovery times. With all of these amazing options, it’s time to come in for your free consultation to learn which treatment is best for you and your skincare concerns.
