3 Must-Have Treatments for Flawless Skin
Your skin is the largest organ of the body and also one of the first features people notice about you. A healthy glow is one of the most attractive accessories you can put on each day, but how do you keep skin glowing all year round? The answer lies in professional treatments specifically designed to eliminate blemishes, even out skin tone and rejuvenate the complexion. New Visage offers three must-have treatments to keep your skin looking flawless any time of the year.
IPL Treatments
Let there be light – light therapy, that is. This procedure uses intense pulses of light to work in the underlying dermal layers for rejuvenation that occurs from the inside out. This procedure addresses a host of specific issues as well, including:
Brown spots due to sun and aging
- Visible vessels on the face, known as telangiectasia
- Dark circles underneath the eyes
- Uneven skin texture and tone
- Fine lines and shallow scarring
IPL therapy takes about one hour to complete and does not require any type of anesthesia. Some patients may opt for a topical numbing cream prior to treatment if comfort is a concern. You can return to your regular activities as soon as your procedure is over, although sun protection is a must because your skin will be more prone to damage at this time. Results of IPL therapy can be seen soon after treatment and will continue to improve in the days and weeks following treatment.
Skin Resurfacing
When your skin just doesn’t have its healthy glow any longer, Venus Viva may be the perfect solution for you. This procedure uses multi-polar radiofrequency energy delivered deep beneath the dermis to stimulate the body’s own healing process and restore vitality to the complexion. The fractional natural of Venus Viva means micro areas of skin are treated while surrounding skin and tissue remain intact. This give you dramatic, long-lasting results with less discomfort and downtime than ablative laser treatment.
Venus Viva can improve the following:
- Facial wrinkles and age spots
- Stretch marks
- Shallow scarring from acne or chicken pox
- Rough skin texture
- Enlarged pores
Venus Viva fractional resurfacing is performed in our office and takes only take about 30 minutes to complete, depending on the size of the treatment area. In most cases, our patients are able to return to their activities the same day as treatment. Results continue to improve in the weeks following treatment and may last many months. Patients may be advised to undergo a series of treatment sessions at first, and then touch-up procedures once or twice a year to maintain their positive results.
Microneedling
Microneedling is another rejuvenation procedure that stimulates healing and collagen production to create a healthy, glowing complexion. This procedure uses a device known as the Dermapen, which is equipped with tiny needles that puncture the skin to create micro-injuries in the treatment area. The punctures arouse the body’s own healing response to produce healthier skin and minimize imperfections like the following:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven skin texture and tone
- Mild skin laxity
- Enlarged pores and shallow scarring
- Stretch marks
Microneedling treatments are performed using a topical anesthetic to ensure comfort during the procedure. Treatments may take anywhere from 20 minutes to one hour, depending on the size of the treatment area. Patients are usually able to return to regular activities within a day or two, after redness and swelling of the skin subside. Positive results can be seen within about two weeks and will last many months before any type of touch-up procedure is required.
