NEW Skin Rejuvenation Options…

Non-Surgical Skin Resurfacing Technology That Works!

What’s the best laser skin resurfacing treatment?

Hello , I really need to strip away the layers of my skin, as there damaged through heat and sunburn, and burning through stuffy humid air in general, I’m 20 but over the last 6 moths various mishaps made my white skin go yellow and red under layer of damaged skin. Just wondeering what’s the best for removing many layers of skin. I hear fraxel has many problems like people coming out worse than they went in hyperpigmentation etc. So was wondering what’s the best most effective and most safest, fraxel, pearl, c02, eribium or some other treatment though laser or not, but not some weak little facial that’s not gonin 2 make a huge differenec, Is fraxel ok or what”?
The newer one is profractional laser and it doesn’t work better then fraxel.

It truly depends on exactly what needs to be properly corrected. In your case it sounds as if the Laser 360 would benefit you from a complete laser skin resurfacing approach. However, you should consult with a professional and certified laser technitian prior to receiving any treatments. FYI – Pixel Laser is an absolutely amazing skin rejuvenation treatment.

Has anyone had (facial) laser resurfacing done?

How long did it last before you thought about getting more procedures? What kind of compliments have you gotten? How long did it take for your skin’s redness to fade? How painful was it? Would you do it all over again…was it worth it? Do you or someone you know have any long-term side effects from it?
Yes, I did a few years ago. When I first had it done, I didn’t really see that much improvement, but other people commented that my skin was ‘immaculate’ lol. The redness took a couple of months to reside completely. It wasn’t that painful, just a bit uncomfortable for the first few days after. I guess the only painful part was trying to clean my skin, but apart from that it was fine. Overall, my skin was smoother, with increased elasticity and a more even skin tone. I’m probably going to have a TCA peel next time, as it is less expensive and has less downtime. HTH : )

Great News about your Laser Skin Resurfacing experience and I am Thrilled You Received Favorable Results!

pixel laser resurfacing and tretinoin cream?

Posted by admin on Jul 13, 2010 under Laser Skin Resurfacing, laser skin tightening, new york medispa

i have taken an pixel laser resurphasing treatment of a scar on my upper lip(below nose). before pixel treatment i have used tretinoin for several months (melalong). now even after 7 days my skin is not healing properly. whaen crusting get shed new crusting develops again and again. what should i do now?
Call the person who treated you because it sounds like your skin has been burned and whoever performed the laser resurfacing(hopefully an experienced dermatologist)will need to observe the problem and determine the next course of action.I really cant urge you enough to seek medical treatment from a licensed doctor that has successfully treated several people you know personally..You don’t want to cut corners with this, Good luck!

It’s not the Pixel Laser. You must consult with a qualified skin care professional immediately. This is not normal and needs attention to ensure no infection sets in from the reaction.

Non-Surgical Face Lift with the ST Device The non-surgical face lift with the ST (skin tightening) device provides a non-invasive skin lifting and tightening.Collagen, the main support system for skin, wears down over time due to aging, cumulative sun exposure, environmental conditions and smoking, et cetera, which all lead to sagging skin. The near-infrared ST device produces safe, effective deep dermal heating which induces neo-collagenesis (new collagen production). Who are typical candidates? younger patients not ready for surgery non-surgical candidates older patients with mild to moderate laxity (skin lacking firmness) What are the benefits compared to cosmetic surgery? Inexpensive alternative No downtime Avoid the pain/risks associated with standard surgery There are no restrictions in activity following the procedure Extremely safe How it works The ST device uses radiofrequency energy to heat the tissue below the skin while it keeps the skin surface cool. This “tightens” your existing collagen and stimulates new collagen growth. The end result is tighter, firmer skin. A local anesthetic cream will be used to numb the treatment area for one hour before your procedure. The length of time required for the procedure itself will depend on the size of the treatment area. The usual range is between 30 minutes and one hour. While the procedure should not hurt, you may experience a sensation of heat in the treated areas. Patients leave the office looking and feeling great. Typically, three to six 30 minute treatment sessions are required to obtain the desired result. Post-Procedure Results: What to Expect Results vary from patient to patient. Your age, treatment area, and skin laxity all affect the outcome. While some patients have seen improvement within a few days, you should expect your results to appear over a period of three to five months. We will take pictures before and after your procedure so you can see the benefits of your treatment over time. ST Device Science Overview: Key components to non-invasive skin remodeling are epidermal protection and proper selection of laser/light and energy to evoke the desired thermal response in the papillary and upper reticular dermis. These non-ablative modalities obviate the need for epidermal injury and promote the reorganization and proliferation of important dermal structures to reverse photo-damaged and lax skin via thermal or photochemical process. The ST device emits light between 780-1000nm (near infrared) where the optical window is ideal for direct sub-dermal heating (connective tissue, proteins) with low water absorption in the epidermis. These conditions negate the need for aggressive epidermal cooling. The ST device allows large coverage and true investment of energy density for better penetration and predictable thermal effect. The device is applied on the skin where it is kept stationary for the entire exposure time. Skin remodeling is a biophysical phenomenon that occurs at cellular and molecular levels via the intervention of optical or thermal energy. The ST device exerts its biological effect on the skin through two major mechanisms: 1) heat-induced collagen shrinkage and micro-thermal injury and; 2) dermis regeneration, repair (wound healing) and remodeling. Collagen cleavage in tissue is a probability event dependant on temperature. The in-vitro thermal cleavage of the hydrogen bond cross links of tropocollagen can result in the molecular contraction of the triple helix up to one third of its original length. Cellular contraction involves the initiation of an inflammatory/wound healing sequence that is perpetuated over several weeks. Contraction of skin is achieved through fibroblastic multiplication and contraction with the deposition of a static supporting matrix of nascent scar collagen. This cellular contraction process is a biological threshold event initiated by the degranulation of the mast cell that releases histamine. This histamine release initiates the inflammatory wound healing sequence. Following cellular contraction, collagen is laid down as a static supporting matrix in the tightened soft tissue structure. The deposition and subsequent remodeling of this nascent scar matrix provides the means to alter the consistency and geometry of soft tissue for aesthetic purposes.

This process along with pixel laser and IPL resurfacing produces complete skin rejuvenation. Available now at Pretty Face Medispa. Laser 360 discount package pricing!

Skin Anti Aging Tip… Protect Yourself With Sunscreen!

Posted by admin on Apr 1, 2010 under Laser Skin Resurfacing, Uncategorized, new york medispa

This time of the year we all spend much more time outdoors. I just want to take this opportunity to remind everyone to apply sunscreen everyday! If you’re someone who wears makup, be certain you apply your sunscreen under your makeup and over your moisturizer to protect the damaging effects from the sun.

Enjoy being outdoors year round and always remember you can slow the skins natural aging process everyday by simply protecting your skin with sunscreen!

Don’t be fooled into buying moisturizer with sunscreen and makeup with sunscreen. The protection is greatly compromised when combined with other ingredients and falls short of the benefit of the anti aging protection of applying sunscreen.

Just past the age of twenty the skins ability to form collagen becomes compromised with sun exposure. Did you know that tanning booths have five times the aging UVA rays as natural sun?

I recommend an SPF of 30 or higher applied daily. You may also consider applying sunscreen to your hands, neck, and chest. Once this regimen is started it becomes second nature and the aging process is greatly reduced.

If you are someone who already has a signs of sun damaged skin (fine lines, wrinkles, sun and age spots, discoloration, dryness, loose skin etc.) you might want to obtain a free consultation regarding the laser 360 skin rejuvenation process that promotes new collagen growth!

Call Pretty Face Medispa For Your Free Consultation – 914.788.9790

http:www.PrettyFaceMedispa.com

Enjoy skin that is less wrinkled with no sunspots. Enjoy skin that is firm and even toned. Enjoy skin that has healthy texture and fullness. 

Did you know that walking to the mailbox and cloudy days exposes the skin to harmful UVA rays? Did you know that UVA rays go directly through your windshield and clothing? Melanin surfaces to the skin to protect the skin from burning.  This constant up and down effect of Melanin cells to protect the skin from the sun destroys the youthful healthy skin we all want.

If I could sell just one product to prevent aging it would be sunscreen that is applied every day.

What is the difference between Pixel Laser and Profractional Laser?

My doctor offers Profractional. I know how this works, by treating only part of the skin while leaving the rest untreated to speed up the healing time. And I understand this is considered to not be an ‘ablative’ treatment. So what is Pixel? Is that the same as Fractional or Profractional? This is confusing! Thanks. PS – Has anyone had either of these? The Pixel is cheaper but is it as good? Has anyone has Profractional? Quite expensive but maybe better . . . ?

 
Unlike traditional ablative lasers, used only on the face, the Laser Pixel® 2940 is targeted at treatments on the face, neck, chest, arms and hands, giving it a wider scope for treating aged and sun damaged skin. Sciton announced the launch of their ProFractional 2940nm ablative laser device during the American Society of Laser Medicine & Surgery (ASLMS) meeting in April 2006. This device has now been launched in the UK in the last month and is distributed by Sigmacon Ltd, as an additional handpiece for the Sciton Profile™ laser platform. Pixel laser reviews by RealSelf.com users 89% said worth it (8 reviews) 11% said not worth it (1 review) Cost of Pixel laser: $720 (avg of 9 reviews) www.Sciton.com has lots of info on both, couldn’t find cost of profractional laser treatments, sorry, hope this helps though. also, go to acne.org, look up PROGRESS PHOTOS: MicroLaser Peel & Profractional Laser Treatment a girl who goes by LeslieAnn got profractional laser treatment and shows photos of her progress.

What exactly is a microdermabrasion treatment?

Posted by admin on Mar 14, 2010 under facials

Im 20, and I have this coupon for a skin care place for a free 15 minute microdermabrasion.. what exactly does the microderm. do?
Microdermabrasion (often referred to as Microderm) is a cosmetic procedure popular in day spas, doctors’ practices, and medical spas in which the stratum corneum (dead outermost surface of the skin) is partially or completely removed by light abrasion. Different methods include mechanical abrasion from jets of zinc oxide or aluminum oxide crystals, fine organic particles, or a roughened surface. Particles are removed off through the wand/handpiece through which the abrasive particles come [1] The term dermabrasion itself refers to the more severe medical procedure carried out under general or light anesthesia. Microdermabrasion is used to remove sun-damaged skin and to remove or lessen scars and dark spots on the skin. The procedure is not very painful and requires no anaesthetic. Microdermabrasion can be used medically for scar removal when the scar is raised above the surrounding skin, but is less effective with sunken scars. There is very little, if any, evidence that microdermabrasion stimulates collagen formation. Microdermabrasion can also be used for treatment of acne, but must be repeated periodically to be effective. Microdermabrasion should not be used on patients who have taken the medication Accutane (Isotretinion) in the previous twelve months. In the past, microdermabrasion was carried out using abrasive crystals. However, in the last decade, it has become more common to use a wand with a roughened surface. This procedure requires no medical oversight and is commonly used in conjunction with facial spa treatments. These days there are a multiplicity of machines available for microdermabrasion. The growth of the microdermabrasion treatment industry has led to innovations and there are currently a few different microdermabrasion systems available. In terms of professional microdermabrasion systems there are two choices: 1. Crystal microdermabrasion Crystal microdermabrasion systems are the traditional treatment of choice and rely on tiny crystals that are blasted onto the skin to perform the exfoliating process. Although the crystal microdermabrasion system is still widely used, the introduction of alternatives has led to a trend away from this treatment system. 2. Diamond microdermabrasion Diamond microdermabrasion systems operate without the need for crystals. The exfoliation process occurs when a diamond tipped head makes contact with the skin and abrades against it. In both crystals and diamond microdermabrasion systems the dead skin cells are sucked away from the face. 3. Home Microdermabrasion Home microdermabrasion systems are an increasingly popular alternative to professional treatments. These are cheap and very easy to perform, and although not as powerful as professional systems, can produce good results over time. There is a great deal of competition in the home microdermabrasion systems market with most of the big cosmetics and skin care brands launching their own home systems. Microdermabrasion is a procedure where tiny particles “sand” or “polish” the skin and gradually remove scarred or discolored epidermal tissue. When you use a home microdermbrasion system the surface skin cell turnover will be enhanced and the skin will be visibly fresher. Home microdermabrasion creams with active ingredients, are focused on skin renewal and accelerate rebuilding of healthy collagen skin cells after microdermabrasion, laser resurfacing or harsh peels. For depressed scars, such as pitted acne scars, subcision with needles is often used by estheticians to break up the deeply buried scar tissue, and a home microdermabrision system then speeds up new healthy skin remodeling: the orderly process of laying out new collagen and elastin fibers.

Has anybody had good results with non surgical facelifts?

Posted by admin on Feb 17, 2010 under Laser Skin Resurfacing, botox, laser skin tightening, new york medispa

I will keep a watch and hope someone answers that they have and how it worked. I refuse to waste anymore of my money on products that I have not heard someone personally used it and how it worked.

I found my answer when I was introduced to botox and facial fillers and for long term skin rejuvenation results the Laser 360 skin resurfacing treatment is extremely effective. Best of all there is no down time or unwanted side effects from invasive surgical procedures.

Anybody tried Laser for hair removal, or skin tightening?

Posted by admin on Feb 1, 2010 under Laser Skin Resurfacing, laser hair removal, laser skin tightening

Please tell me about your experience. Thanks.
“I went into an American Laser Center in Naples, Florida hoping to avoid cosmetic surgery. I had been a sun worshipper and smoker most of my life and it showed. At age 51, I was contemplating a face lift. I spoke with Jacquelyn who recommended I try a photo-rejuvenation along with Microdermabrasion. I thought it was worth a try. I have had 3 photo-rejuvenations and 3 Microdermabrasions and have already ruled out cosmetic surgery. I am delighted with the results! My smokers’ lips are gone, my skin is smoother, the age lines have softened, my brown spots are fading, and I once again have a healthy glow to my complexion. Not only am I sold on the treatments, the staff is amazing. They are well trained and go above and beyond to make sure you are happy with your treatments. The center is clean and efficient and I am so glad I opted to try them! Thank you Naples American Laser Centers and your amazing Naples Staff!”
