female-receiving-facial-treatment Anti-aging cosmetic treatments are more in-demand than ever. And while helping our patients look and feel younger with the help of our award-winning cosmetic services is a huge part of what we do here at Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center, aesthetic rejuvenation can take on many forms. Today we thought it would be helpful to drill down on one specific area, the neck, and why this has become such a focal point of so many people trying to refresh their look.

Some areas of the body are simply more vulnerable to signs of premature aging than others and the neck area is certainly one of them for many people. Generally speaking, you don’t want your neck to look considerably older than your face. Over time, sun damage, natural aging, or other environmental factors can cause an old-looking neck contour with wrinkles and loose, sagging skin. We perform the following cosmetic treatments that can help our patients rejuvenate the neck area and improve their overall appearance:

Vivace® RadioFrequency Microneedling

Our newest cosmetic treatment, Vivace® RadioFrequency Microneedling is FDA-cleared and truly outstanding for helping improve the skin around the neck. Using radiofrequency (RF) energy, Vivace® is able to deliver controlled heat within the deeper layers of the skin, helping to trigger natural collagen and elastin production. The result is healthier, younger-looking skin that lasts.

Fractionated CO2 Laser Resurfacing

For people who experience moderate aging in the face and neck areas, our fractionated CO2 laser resurfacing treatments can often be incredibly helpful. These treatments are unique in their ability to target very specific areas with scattered beams of precise laser energy. Once this energy is able to penetrate deeper into the skin and tissue, collagen is produced and tiny bits of damaged skin are naturally shed, prevailing a newly healthy glowing complexion.

Venus Legacy™ Skin Tightening

Venus Legacy™ is a skin tightening treatment for the face and body. FDA-cleared to treat cellulite, we’ve also had remarkable success using Venus Legacy™ Skin Tightening treatments to help rejuvenate the neck area. Using their proprietary (MP)2 technology, Venus Legacy™ utilizes multi-polar radiofrequency (RF) and pulsed magnetic fields to create a heat energy matrix that stimulates the body’s natural healing response by heating the skin from the inside out.

We understand that it can be very difficult to fight off common signs of aging in the neck area without help. This is why we are proud to offer so many safe, dependable, non-surgical treatment options for our patients.

The result is tightened, firmer skin without the wrinkles and lines in areas like the face, neck and forehead.

Understanding The Benefits of Réjuvapen® Microneedling

Anti-aging, Microneedling, Réjuvapen®, Skin Care med spa, medical spa

Some of the cosmetic treatments that we perform are meant to hone in on one specific aesthetic concern. Other treatments are consistently in demand due to their ability to treat a wider variety of issues for patients. We have had incredible success over the years using Réjuvapen® Microneedling treatments to address several of the most common imperfections that affect the facial skin. To help better get to know this outstanding treatment option and how it can help, here are some of the most notable benefits of Réjuvapen® Microneedling.

Versatility

As we already mentioned, Réjuvapen® Microneedling treatments can be used to effectively address many of the most familiar facial blemishes that people experience. This includes fine lines and wrinkles, overly large pores, acne scarring, and more. Regardless of why a patient is interested in microneedling, they will almost surely leave the treatment with a more clear and glowing complexion than they came in with.

Near Immediate Results

Unlike some other treatments that require some waiting to see noticeable aesthetic results, the differences from Réjuvapen® Microneedling can often be seen a few days following the treatment. The skin should look plumper and healthier when the treatment session has concluded, and continue to improve in the following weeks as the skin naturally heals itself and produces more collagen.

Very Little Recovery Time

Recovery time is typically minimal following microneedling treatments and very little to no downtime should be required. Some degree of skin irritation and redness is normal during the first few days after treatment. We recommend waiting until these effects have passed before applying makeup in order to let the skin fully heal. The facial skin may also be more sensitive to the sun in the days immediately following treatment, so be sure to apply sunscreen and wear a hat for any long period spent outdoors.

We are proud to offer Réjuvapen® Microneedling as a fantastic way for our patients to rejuvenate their appearance and treat so many of the common signs of facial texture and aging. If you think that you might be a good candidate for microneedling and would like to learn more, please contact Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center at (770) 495-9322 for a complimentary consultation.

Defeat Acne with Help from Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center

Acne Treatments, Chemical Peels, Microneedling

Did you know that acne is the most common skin condition in the United States? Around 50 million Americans struggle with acne every year, and you can develop this skin condition at any stage of life. While there is no cure, acne can be successfully treated, so you don’t have to deal with this condition forever. But how does acne occur, and what can you do to address it?

Acne occurs when dead skin cells, excess oil, and bacteria become trapped in our pores. Often, hormone changes are responsible for acne eruptions, but diet can also play a role. High-glycemic carbohydrates spike our blood sugar, causing our oil glands to produce excess sebum. All of these things can inflame the skin and put you at risk for acne. Sometimes, simple changes in diet coupled with acne treatments go a long way in healing acne outbreaks. If you are struggling with your acne, Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center has a variety of treatments to help you combat acne and regain your confidence.

Treating Active Acne:

Facials:

Everybody’s skin is different, and treatments that help one person may not work for another. Luckily, our acne facial can help. Our licensed estheticians will assess your skin and tailor your facial experience to address your specific acne outbreak. Our Fire & Ice® facial focuses on rejuvenation with the addition of pore extraction. During your treatment, two unique masques will be applied to your face. The first masque focuses on exfoliation; removing the oils, dead skin, and bacteria keeping the acne alive. The second masque will smooth and rejuvenate your skin, helping you attain a clearer complexion.

SilkPeel™ is similar to microdermabrasion in that it clears away the oil and debris contributing to your Acne. However, unlike microdermabrasion, SilkPeel™uses specialized topical medications. These medications work in conjunction with a diamond-tipped handpiece to exfoliate dead skin cells and excess oils from the affected area while providing relief from acne. This gentle treatment can be used not only to address facial acne but also body acne.

Chemical Peels:

Chemical peels are a great acne management tool. We can utilize these treatments to exfoliate the surface of the skin by treating the skin with a solution that penetrates the top layers of the dermis. This activates the healing process of the skin and reduces acne scarring. Chemical peel strength varies from person to person, and we can customize this treatment for you. So, we can do a light treatment if you want little to no visible peeling. On the other hand, if you prefer visible peeling, we can do a deeper treatment. During your skin assessment, your esthetician will discuss these options and help you select the peel that best suits your acne outbreak.

Minimizing Scarring:

Once you have treated the active acne, you may be left with scarring. Scarring can take on various textures – raised, pitted, pigmented – all of which can be treated. Chemical peels and SilkPeel may be good options to get you started, but we also offer more effective methods such as Microneedling and laser.

Microneedling:

Microneedling has proven to be a great treatment for acne scars. At Laser Lights, our Microneedling treatment involves using Réjuvapen®, a device containing ultrafine, sterile needles. These needles create tiny punctures in the skin, triggering your body’s healing process. This healing process will encourage the development of new collagen and elastin in your skin, smoothing and minimizing the appearance of acne scarring. It is important to note that more than one treatment will be needed for best results.

Laser Treatments:

Another method for treating acne scarring is with fractionated CO2 laser skin resurfacing. Like Microneedling, the laser penetrates the dermis creating microscopic wounds which break down the scar tissue caused by the acne. The body then works to heal these wounds by increasing collagen production and creating “new skin.” As a result, you will be left with a refreshed appearance and a reduction in your acne scars.

Acne can be extremely frustrating, but you don’t have to deal with it alone. If you struggle to control your acne, schedule your free consultation with Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center today. We will be more than happy to help you take back your clear skin. For more information, follow us on Facebook, TikTok and Instagram.

Summer-Safe Facial Rejuvenation Procedures

Facial Injections, Facial Rejuvenation, Microneedling chemical peels, facial injections, med spa, microneedling, skin tightening

If you’ve dabbled in the world of cosmetic treatments before like skin treatments or plastic surgery, you may already know that lasers and summertime don’t always mix well, especially for people who enjoy the outdoors. If you have a tan when you begin a laser procedure or if your skin is exposed to the sun after your treatment, you can develop irregular pigmentation or other issues in the area. Avoiding the sun to this extent during the season of barbecues and block parties is difficult for many people, so laser treatments may be better saved for the cooler months.

That doesn’t mean you can’t invest in yourself this summer with treatments that help you look younger, well-rested, and vibrant. At Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center, we offer a variety of cosmetic treatments you can receive this summer for those people who enjoy being outdoors so you can start enjoying your results in no time.

Cosmetic Facial Injections

If your top frustrations with facial aging revolve around fine lines and wrinkles rather than excess sagging skin, cosmetic facial injections could be the perfect way to look younger this summer.

There are multiple types of cosmetic injections to choose from depending on your signs of aging and desired results. Botox® and Dysport® are neuromodulators that reduce expression lines like frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead creases by relaxing targeted facial muscles. Facial fillers are volumizing injections that fill in wrinkles like smile lines and hollows in the cheeks or under the eyes for a more revitalized look.

Microneedling

Microneedling is a treatment that uses ultrafine needles to stimulate your body’s natural healing process. That healing process creates more skin-firming collagen, making your skin firmer, smoother, and more youthful. Keep in mind that it takes a series of a few treatments to get optimal results for most people, so if you’re hoping to have results before a certain date or event, it’s best to get started early.

At Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center, we also offer the option to take your microneedling treatments up a notch by adding natural growth factors. During this add-on service, we’ll extract a small sample of your own blood to extract the collagen-boosting growth factors, applying these growth factors to your skin during the microneedling treatment. The result is even more powerful facial rejuvenation.

Non-Surgical Skin Tightening

All of us develop sagging skin as the years go by, but there are simple, non-surgical treatments to restore tone and firmness to your skin. Our medical spa offers two treatment options that are perfect for the summer: Viora Reaction™ and Venus Legacy™ for skin tightening. Our licensed and experienced medical staff can determine which option is best for you, but both treatments are non-invasive and highly effective.

Chemical Peels

The chemical peel has long been a favorite for people who want a younger, brighter look, and it isn’t going anywhere. During this treatment, we apply a specialized acidic formula to your skin for a set number of minutes, followed by soothing products. The process causes your skin to gradually exfoliate damaged surface skin, revealing smoother, more youthful skin below. Keep in mind that chemical peels do require some sun protection as your skin heals, but not to the extent that laser treatments do.

Revitalizing Your Look This Summer

While summer isn’t the best time for laser procedures, it’s still a fantastic time to rejuvenate your look with other cosmetic treatments. Our experienced team is here to help by customizing a treatment plan for you. Contact Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center today to schedule your free consultation.
