How does it work?

BBL Forever bare hair uses broad spectrum of light to heat the hair follicles to therapeutic temperatures for safe and effective hair reduction. Forever bare hair is fast, easy with minimal discomfort. You can safely treat any area of your body. Treatments are gentle and non-invasive. The light energy is delivered to the hair follicles, all while keeping your surrounding tissue safe with minimal discomfort or no discomfort.

How many treatments do you need?

Most areas require 6-12 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart to achieve optimal hair reduction. Importance of staying on track with appointments is key for success with hair reduction.
Hair grows in 3 stages: anagen, catagen and telogen. Hair reduction technologies can only treat hairs in the anagen phase also known as the active growth phase. Since not all hairs are in the same growth stage at the same time a series of treatments is necessary.

How do I prepare for a hair removal treatment? 

  •  Avoidance of sun exposure and sunless tanner in the areas that will be treated is necessary.
  • Area to be treated should be clean shaven 12-24 hours prior to appointment.
  • No waxing or tweezing at least 4 weeks prior to appointment.
  • Hair should be dark and course, the broad band light will not reduce white or vellus hair.

Post Care Requirements

  • Minimal downtime, you may experience mild redness in the treated area, that dissipates within hours after treatment.
  • Avoidance of sun exposure and exercise for 24 hours is recommended.

How do I get started? 

We require a consultation before treatment. This will help us to ensure you are the right candidate.  Schedule your complimentary consultation by calling 763-515-6492 today!

SkinTyte for the Face, Neck and Body Shaping

in ,

SkinTyte is a revolutionary laser skin treatment that produces effective and convenient body shaping results in more perfect-looking skin. As part of non-surgical facial and body rejuvenation techniques, it’s going to produce results that you can see after just one treatment.

 

What is SkinTyte? 

The SkinTyte procedure utilizes infrared energy to deeply heat dermal collagen.  The heat also initiates the body’s natural healing process, which creates a renewed collagen foundation leading to increased skin firmness. Powerful cooling maintains the outer surface of your skin at a cool temperature before, during, and after each pulse. This provides the patient a comfortable and safe procedure.  Safe and optimized for all skin types.  As a result, SkinTyte can predictably, effectively, and comfortably treat any area of the body where improvement is desired. Most importantly this results in a firmer and more youthful appearance.

What causes skin laxity? 

  • Genetics and the natural aging process- As we age changes take place in the facial fat pads and bone causing the skin to sag, form folds and jowl. Additionally, our bodies produce less and less collagen as we age. Collagen production is essential for keeping our skin plump, firm and youthful.
  • Sun Exposure- The amount of UV exposure accumulated over a persons lifetime often contributes to the most damage to collagen and elastin fibers in the skins dermal layer. This contributes to accelerating sagging.
  • Pregnancy- Saggy postpartum skin typically presents around the breasts and abdomen, where the skin stretches during pregnancy.
  • Weight loss-Loose skin occurs as a result of major weight loss or constant weight loss and weight gain.

What type of downtime should I expect?

This is a non invasive treatment with no downtime. You may resume all normal activities immediately after.

How many treatments do I need?

We recommend a series of 6 treatments spaced 2 weeks apart. After your initial series consistency is key, we like adding on a SkinTyte to your regularly scheduled facials or quarterly ForeverYoung treatments to continue collagen production. Results are seen progressively over time as the collagen begins rebuilding and can last for up to two years.

What products do you recommend for skin laxity?

Your at home skin care routine is the one thing you can do everyday to improve the overall health and look of your skin. Consequently, an at home skin care routine will improve the outcome of your treatments. We recommend a dedicated skincare routine to include a sunscreen  applied daily to the face neck and chest, a retinol to help promote cell turnover and a specialty firming product such as revisions Nectifirm or BodiFirm.

How do I get started? 

Weather you are looking for pre-juvenation to help delay and prevent the aging process or you are looking to correct mild to moderate skin laxity we require a consultation to ensure the treatment is the right path to meet your skin care goals.

VI Peels are safe for all skin types. The application is painless with visible results in 7 days.  Day 1-3  there may be some light itching and flaking. Day 3-5 you will begin peeling and by Day 7 you should be completely healed. We take the guess work out of post care with a take home kit with easy to follow instructions.

The VI Peel is used for treating specific targeted concerns. It is best done in a series of 3 with 4-6 weeks between each treatment.  The VI Advanced Peel system is great for mature skin with its ability to stimulate collagen.

Botox and Fillers for Skin Rejuvenation

in ,

Botox and filler serve as a powerful tool for skin rejuvenation and anti-aging.

Neurotoxins such as Botox and Dysport are injected strategically into targeted muscles to produce a temporary relaxation for roughly 3-4 months. Neurotoxins are FDA approved to treat forehead, frown, and crow’s feet lines. These lines and wrinkles can appear over years of repetitive facial expressions, exposure to the sun, lifestyle, and genetics. By relaxing muscle activity, our skin can relax, lift, and soften. Therefore, minimizing the appearance of superficial lines and preventing them from worsening. Dermal fillers are made up of hyaluronic acid in the form of a gel. Fillers can replace lost volume, fill folds, soften lines and replenish hydration.

A youthful face depends on having the right amount of facial fat in the right places, as well as healthy bone structure. With increasing age, changes take place in the facial fat pads and bone. When you combine fat loss and bone loss with exposure to the sun, lifestyle and genetics, signs of aging can be accelerated. Common signs of facial volume loss present as folds, heaviness, hollowing, and dehydration. Unlike Botox, which affects muscle activity to minimize the appearance of wrinkles and lines, dermal fillers are a gel that is injected beneath the skin’s surface to treat areas of concern. They are primarily used to reverse signs of aging, enhance facial features, and sculpt the face to restore youthful volume.
