Today, we’re sharing four options to help you put your best face forward – literally! Here is a breakdown of four must-try treatment recommendations to freshen your face, restore your glow and help you look as good as you feel.

Morpheus 8

The number one treatment for overall fresher, smoother, tighter appearing skin is the Morpheus 8 radiofrequency microneedling. This is a non-invasive device that delivers radiofrequency energy to the deep dermal layers of the skin to help remodel the overlying tissue from the inside out.

With little to no downtime, this is a wonderful treatment to sneak into your schedule that will substantially improve the texture, tone, and tightness of the skin. This treatment is great for reducing fullness of jowling in the lower face and double chin, improving pore size, reducing acne, smoothing deep set lines in the skin, and stimulating collagen production.

Four treatments are recommended for optimal results, however, some individuals may require 6. (treatments done every month)

Lumecca IPL

The number two treatment for brighter, fresher skin is Lumecca IPL. IPL stands for intense pulse light. This is a popular non-invasive treatment technology used in aesthetic medicine for photo rejuvenation aimed at improving the appearance of sunspots, acne, stretch marks, spider veins, birthmarks, rosacea, melasma, and improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

This treatment is excellent for treating pigmented lesions, like reds and browns, whether they be from the sun, prior surgeries or acne and our Optimus platform is suitable for almost all skin types. The procedure itself takes approximately 30 minutes and has little-to-no downtime. The treated area will usually remain red or pink for about 4 – 6 hours after the procedures.This will feel similar to a mild sunburn (some patients even have it done on their lunc break.)

For maximum improvement a total of four sessions (treatments done every month) is recommended with one maintenance session every six months. The treatments are typically done every four weeks.

Neurotoxins

The number three treatment is a tried and true means for improving smoothness of the skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles….neurotoxin. Medications like Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are all FDA approved to decrease the force of contraction of the muscles and improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

After your treatment it takes about 2 weeks to notice the full result. This treatment allows your makeup to go on smoother, and gives you an overall more youthful looking appearance. Treatments are usually done every 3 months for optimal improvement.

Bio-Fillers

The number four treatment for looking fresh and fabulous is our bio-filler treatment. Derived from your own blood draw, spun down and heated, bio-filler is a versatile, safe, affordable and best of all, NATURAL way to improve areas of your face to improve crepiness of the skin, add volume, restore youthful pinky appearance to lips and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

There is no downtime and results last about 6 months. We recommend a minimum of two treatments about 6 weeks apart
