What To Know Before Considering a Chemical Peel

Chemical Peels, Educational chemical peels, educational, facial rejuvenation, skin care, treatments

Facial rejuvenation is always a point of emphasis for our patients, and chemical peels have been an incredibly dependable tool in this area for many years. We have spoken to so many patients over the years who are interested in a chemical peel treatment to rejuvenate their facial complexion, but don’t know exactly how to proceed. The truth is, there can be a lot to know before simply undergoing a chemical peel treatment. Every person and every complexion is different and these are not one-size-fits-all treatments. So with this in mind, our cosmetic experts were happy to lay out a few simple facts to help prospective patients gain a better understanding of chemical peels and what they can offer.

There Are a Wide Variety of Chemical Peels Available

Here at Laser Lights, we offer several outstanding chemical peel options that vary in terms of strength and the aesthetic imperfections that they are able to address. We begin the process with a chemical peel consultation appointment. During this appointment, our licensed and experienced aestheticians will discuss the patient’s specific skin care concerns, evaluate their complexion, and make a determination about the best chemical peel for their specific needs.

“Peeling” Is Just a Form of Exfoliation

While we understand that the idea of skin peeling off can seem strange or even scary to some people, the process is far gentler than the name would suggest. And this peeling process is essential for shedding dead skin cells and revealing the healthier, glowing skin in the layers below.

Chemical Peels Are Not Just For The Face

It’s true that chemical peels are often thought of as a way to improve facial skin, but when applied by an expert provider like the cosmetic professionals at Laser Lights, chemical peels can provide benefits elsewhere. We have considerable experience using chemical peels to rejuvenate the hands, as well as the back, chest, feet, and other areas depending on the patient’s needs.

Some Post-Treatment Redness Is Normal

After undergoing a chemical peel, it’s natural for the skin to be red and irritated. This will increase for people who undergo strong and more penetrative types of peels. However, this is a normal and temporary sensation. We may apply a topical ointment to help soothe the treatment area, but this depends on the type of peel used and the patient’s level of discomfort after treatment. We recommend waiting at least a day after lighter peels before applying makeup, and at least a week for more powerful ones in order to let the skin heal properly. But we will review your aftercare during your consultation.

We understand that no two people are exactly alike, which is why our providers work so hard during consultation appointments to make sure our patients always feel comfortable, informed, and ready before any treatment takes place. Whether you are interested in a chemical peel, non-surgical fat reduction with SculpSure®, microneedling, or any other treatment, our experts do everything they can to make sure each of our patients has the most positive and satisfying experience possible.

Sagging Facial Skin? Ways to Tighten Your Skin

Anti-aging, Facial Rejuvenation, Microneedling facial rejuvenation, laser skin resurfacing, microneedling, skin tightening, Viora reaction

There are many things we can do to delay and slow facial aging as much as possible. Maintaining an overall healthy lifestyle without smoking or excessive drinking, exercising regularly, caring for our skin, and so on can help us keep our skin’s vitality for longer. Eventually, though, age and gravity will take their toll and we’ll start to notice sagging skin, especially along our jawline.

Fortunately, there are steps you can take to reduce sagging skin without having surgery. Our team at Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center specializes in non-surgical cosmetic treatments for the face and body, and we gladly offer several non-invasive or minimally invasive options.

Non-Surgical Skin Tightening

Skin tightening with Viora Reaction™ is a versatile procedure that can be used anywhere on your body, including on your face, to firm and tighten your skin in an entirely non-invasive way. That means no injections or incisions of any kind.

During this treatment, our skilled specialist uses an applicator to send targeted radiofrequency (RF) energy into the areas you want to treat. This RF energy triggers your body’s natural response to create more collagen, the protein that firms, lifts, and tightens your skin. Because this treatment works with your body’s own processes, your results will gradually develop over the course of several sessions.

We are currently adding even more non-surgical skin tightening options using radiofrequency technology, including Venus Legacy™ skin tightening and cellulite reduction as well as radiofrequency-enhanced microneedling coming soon.

Fractionated CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing

Fractionated CO2 laser skin resurfacing is among the most versatile and effective procedures for reducing signs of aging, and that includes restoring firmness to sagging skin. During this treatment, our laser technicians use a specialized laser that creates a series of micro-injuries in your skin. This triggers your body’s healing response. As part of this healing response, your body creates more skin-firming collagen in addition to shedding damaged surface skin and creating an overall smoother, more youthful complexion.

Keep in mind that as effective as this treatment is, it comes with precautions you need to take to minimize potential side effects. This includes protecting your skin from the sun for weeks before and after your session along with caring for your skin in a certain way after your procedure. Because of the need for sun protection, fractionated CO2 laser skin resurfacing is most often performed in the fall or winter for your convenience.

Microneedling with Natural Growth Factors

Did you know your body holds one of the keys to younger, firmer skin – you just need to harness that power in the right way? Within your blood are natural growth factors that can trigger collagen production, and we put them to use as a way to enhance your microneedling treatments.

We begin by taking a small amount of your blood and processing it in a centrifuge to separate out the natural growth factors. We then perform a Réjuvapen® microneedling treatment while applying these natural growth factors, allowing the growth factors to reach the deeper layers of your skin to enhance your collagen production. The combination of the microneedling procedure and your own natural growth factors creates a skin-firming, lifting, rejuvenating effect.

How to Determine the Best Way to Treat Your Sagging Facial Skin

If you have begun noticing facial sagging, it’s important to understand that each person is unique, so it’s crucial to work with an experienced expert to find out which treatment is best for your facial rejuvenation. Our skilled team at our Duluth, GA medical spa and cosmetic laser treatment center is here to help. Schedule a free facial rejuvenation consultation to find out which treatment will be the best way to give you a youthful, revitalized look. Remember to follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Tik Tok.

Top Skin Treatments for Wedding Season

Anti-aging, Chemical Peels, Microneedling, Non Surgical Fat Reduction body contouring, chemical peels, facial rejuvenation, microneedling, skin treatments

Hear that? There are wedding bells in the air! Wedding season is about to begin, and for the next several months, we’ll be cheering on all the happy couples who are tying the knot. Of course, everyone wants to look their best when the photographer comes around and while they’re celebrating these exciting occasions, and that’s where Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center can help.

Whether you’re the bride or groom, part of the wedding party, a parent of the bride or groom, or a guest, we have a lineup of skin treatments that can help you look your best when the big day arrives.

Microneedling

Microneedling is a popular procedure that stimulates your body’s natural collagen development, leaving your skin smoother and revitalized with minimal recovery time. It’s ideal for fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and your overall skin texture. For the best results, opt for a series of microneedling treatments or enhance your procedure with natural growth factors for stronger collagen development.

Anti-Aging Facial Injections

For lines and wrinkles, cosmetic facial injections like Botox®, Dysport®, Restylane®, and Juvéderm® offer targeted and precise results. These treatments also happen to produce results quickly and retain their results for months. In the weeks before the big day, these injections could be the perfect way to smooth wrinkles, reduce dark circles under your eyes, plump your lips, or fill in facial hollows.

Upper Arm Skin Tightening

“Bat wings,” or sagging skin of the upper arms, are common causes for concern at weddings where sleeveless and strapless gowns are the norm. Aging and weight fluctuations can cause anyone to have excess skin in this area, and non-surgical skin tightening with Viora Reaction™ offers a non-invasive way to firm the skin and let you wave your arms freely.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are highly versatile treatments that can give nearly anyone a refreshed look before a wedding or any other event. Each peel is tailored to you and your skin, with various peels treating fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, acne scars, uneven complexions, and poor skin texture. You can choose a single chemical peel or a series of peels, and at your free consultation, our skin care specialists will be able to recommend the perfect path for you.

Non-Surgical Fat Reduction with SculpSure®

If you have a stubborn area of unwanted fat, now is the perfect time to slim it down so you can feel confident and free in your dress, suit, or tux. Non-surgical fat reduction with SculpSure® uses targeted warmth to damage fat cells in the area, working with your body to remove those damaged cells so you get a slimmer contour. Keep in mind that it can take 6-8 weeks after your last session for your final results to develop, so the earlier you start your body contouring, the better.

Kybella® Injections for the “Double Chin”

No one wants to have the dreaded “double chin” in wedding photos, and Kybella® injections offer a specialized way to treat stubborn fat in this area. Carefully placed Kybella® injections at our partner practice, Southern Plastic Surgery, dissolve unwanted fat under the chin and jawline, giving you a more slender look. If you’re more affected by sagging skin in this area rather than fat, skin tightening with Viora Reaction™ can treat the area under your chin as well.

Silk Dermalinfusion® Microdermabrasion

Silk Dermalinfusion® microdermabrasion is a gentle and effective way to refresh and brighten your skin. This unique facial-like treatment uses advanced technology to exfoliate your skin while infusing your skin with rich hydration, giving you a more even and brighter complexion. It’s the perfect way to pamper and revitalize your skin a few days before the wedding.

Designing Your Pre-Wedding Skin Treatment Plan

Everyone has different aspects of their appearance they want to improve, and at Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center, we’re all about customization. Schedule a free skin care and cosmetic laser consultation with our licensed aestheticians and we’ll develop a customized treatment plan to get you looking your best before the big day. In the meantime, follow us on Instagram and Facebook for more cosmetic tips. Remember, if you’re looking for a wedding gift this wedding season, we also offer gift certificates.

Laser Treatments to Help You Look Younger for the Holidays

Laser Skin Resurfacing Atlanta facial rejuvenation, blog, cosmetic lasers, facial rejuvenation, laser resufacing

The holiday season is on its way, and that means holiday parties, pictures with friends and family, and getting together with people you may not have seen since last year. As much fun as these traditions are every year, they’re even better if you don’t feel self-conscious about your appearance for all of those parties and pictures.

If you’d like to give your look a boost for this holiday season, especially if your aim is to reduce signs of aging, laser treatments may be able to help. Our team at Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center has the laser procedures that can give you the gift of a younger look this year.

Fractionated CO₂ Laser Skin Resurfacing

While we offer a variety of facial rejuvenation treatments, fractionated CO₂ laser skin resurfacing is our most comprehensive option. It improves wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, and even sagging skin as well as other cosmetic concerns like poor skin texture and acne scars.

During fractionated CO₂ laser skin resurfacing, we use an advanced type of laser that precisely removes damaged surface skin in an even arrangement of small spots. This creates exceptional skin rejuvenation throughout your face, giving you an overall brighter and younger look.

Keep in mind that it does take time for your skin to heal after this treatment. If you want your results to look their best by the holidays, it’s best to schedule your procedure as soon as possible.

Micro Fractionated CO₂ Resurfacing

If you like the idea of treating several signs of aging with one treatment but you don’t want the recovery time of fractionated CO₂ laser skin resurfacing, our micro fractionated CO₂ resurfacing may be the perfect fit. Also called a micro laser peel, this treatment is essentially a milder version of fractionated CO₂ laser skin resurfacing.

The effects of this treatment are similar to the results of a chemical peel because it lightly removes aged surface skin. It also stimulates your natural collagen production, giving you the combined effect of fewer fine lines and wrinkles, firmer skin, and smoother skin texture. All of this comes with significantly less recovery time than fractionated CO₂ laser skin resurfacing. In fact, it has earned the nickname of the “weekend peel” because if you schedule your treatment for a Thursday or Friday, you’ll likely be healed enough to return to work on Monday with little or no signs of the treatment.

Photo Rejuvenation

Both fractionated CO₂ laser skin resurfacing and micro fractionated laser resurfacing use ablative lasers, which means that they remove precise areas of surface skin. Photo rejuvenation, however, is unique because it is non-ablative, so there is no skin removal. Instead, this procedure sends pulses of laser light deeper into your skin.

As a result, photo rejuvenation gradually increases your collagen production over time, leading to fewer wrinkles and fine lines as well as firmer, more lifted skin. Photo rejuvenation can also lighten age spots and treat similar skin blemishes.

While there is generally no recovery time needed after photo rejuvenation, you will get better results from a series of up to six treatments. To maximize your results by the time the winter holidays arrive now is the time to start.

Giving Yourself the Pre-Holiday Gift of Laser Rejuvenation

Laser treatments are among the most effective ways to revitalize your appearance, so this year, use the upcoming holiday season as a reason to treat yourself to the brighter, more youthful look you want. You can even give this gift to a loved one with a Laser Lights gift card!

To find out which of these laser treatments (or any of our many other facial rejuvenation treatments) is the best fit for you, schedule a free consultation at Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center today. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram for more cosmetic skin treatment tips.
