Aesthetic Medical Spa

When administered properly, BOTOX® can offer beautiful, natural-looking results without a “frozen” or fake look at all. But getting these excellent results hinges on one important factor: the quality of your BOTOX provider.

Keep these three essential tips in mind to pick the best BOTOX plastic surgeon in your area, avoiding a botched or sub-par job.

1. Choose an Accredited Medical Spa

Stay away from “BOTOX parties” or BOTOX provided by other medical professionals like dentists or family physicians. BOTOX not only requires technical skill and experience, but also an aesthetic eye. You want to work with someone who specializes in these types of treatments and, ideally, who works under a top board-certified plastic surgeon in your area.

Peeling skin after laser resurfacing is a common side effect and is, in most cases, nothing to worry about. However, being prepared for all aspects of your laser skin treatment will help make the process smoother for you. This quick guide offers a few facts about laser skin treatments to help you prepare for your appointment.

Peeling Usually Starts within a Few Days

Laser skin resurfacing removes the outer layer of skin to stimulate new cell growth. Expect your skin to begin peeling around day 3 or 4 after your laser skin resurfacing treatment. Your skin will continue to heal for the next 2 to 3 weeks, gradually revealing your final outcome.

It’s cold and snowy outside. You’d rather be home watching Netflix anyway, so why not book a laser treatment with just the right amount of downtime? You get a day to yourself AND your face will look rejuvenated. These three laser skin treatments are just a few of the best med spa treatments perfect for winter.

1. Halo™ Laser Skin Resurfacing

Using a hybrid fractional laser with varying wavelengths, Halo™ by Sciton is able to reach the deeper layers of your skin, effectively addressing concerns like wrinkles, acne scars and sun damage.

For the first 24 hours after your appointment, your face will likely look puffy, so it’s recommended that you take a day off to kick back and relax at home.

Most people are able to resume their normal daily activities directly after their BBL treatment, with results developing over the coming days and weeks.

Ever wish you could tone your backside and trim pesky fat at the same time? With new EMSCULPT®, that wish could be a reality. Here’s how this nonsurgical butt lift alternative works and how to tell if it could be the right solution for you.

What Is HIFEM® Technology?

EMSCULPT uses what’s called HIFEM® — or high-intensity focused electromagnetic — technology. This technique allows electromagnetic energy to penetrate beyond the deep layers of your skin, reaching the underlying muscle tissue. There, EMSCULPT is able to induce what are known as supramaximal muscle contractions. This type of muscle contraction is not possible through traditional exercise alone.

This process not only builds muscle but also helps to eliminate small pockets of stubborn fat in the targeted area.

Do wrinkles, sagging skin or cellulite keep you from looking and feeling your best? Profound® skin tightening and cellulite reduction treatments use a combination of radiofrequency waves and microneedling technology to address these common concerns.

While redness and swelling can last a little longer after Profound treatments compared to other laser skin treatments, most people find that the cutting-edge technology and quality of results are well worth the wait.
