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.

microdermabrasion or chemical peels? Is there much difference?

Posted by admin on Jul 26, 2010 under facials, new york medispa

I know the microdermabrasion reduces fine lines on your face but what about chemical peels and laser skin resurfacing ? Which is the longest lasting procedure and also do any of them tighten the skin a little in the process ? Also is there much difference in the cost ?
Chemical peels and microdermabrasion are two popular skin treatments that improve the appearance of the skin. If you choose a chemical peel, you may choose between light, medium and deep. Microdermabrasion simply removes the dead skin cells and the top layer of the skin, while making it feel very smooth. The light peel removes the top layer of skin. You may experience a slight pinkness of the skin, and your skin should return to its natural color later in the same day or the following day. A medium peel removes more skin than a light peel, and recovery takes a week or longer. Results will last longer, however, and the procedure will reduce wrinkles. A physician performs a deep chemical peel in an operating room and is quite expensive. In addition, recovery time can last from 3 to 6 months. Microdermabrasion is the process of spraying fine crystals on the skin to remove the dead skin cells. The skin will appear rosier, lighter and brighter. The results last only a short time, but the cost of the procedure is considerably less than that of chemical peels. Chemical peel will more dramatically change the appearance of your skin, is more expensive and has a longer recovery time. However, many people enjoy the results they get from microdermabrasion treatments as well.

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.

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.

What is the difference between photorejuvenation and microdermabrasion?

Posted by admin on Mar 13, 2010 under facials

Can you tell me a little bit more about them and how much do the usually cost?
That stupid question is sooo immature you really need to get a life and stop being stupid. Don’t be jealous of the people who actually use their brain and who actually have a life and don’t live out on the streets. Sound familiar? That’s right, you and only you know what I’m talking about because you sent me that same answer on my question that actually made sense!!! What is this question about? Like you actually know what the word photorejuvenation and microdermabrasion mean! Right now my computer is saying that the word is misspelled even though I copied it from above just like you wrote it! If you do know what they mean I would be glad to hear. And that doesn’t mean go look them up in the adult scientist dictonary.

Can someone give me advice on Microdermabrasion?

Posted by admin on Mar 11, 2010 under facials

I was told by my dermatologist that Microdermabrasion can be used to get rid of acne scars but will cause the new skin to be darker than the normal skin. Is this true to anyone who has undergone Microdermabrasion? Anyone who has undergone Microdermabrasion please tell me what was done and the results of the process please, in as much detail as possible.
My friend had this done. It didn’t change the colour of her skin. It did get rid of the worst of the scars. But she still gets bad acne and more scars.

Has anyone ever had laser hair removal? Does it hurt at all?

Posted by admin on Feb 8, 2010 under laser hair removal

I hate shaving and was thinking of laser removal. Are there any really good ways to remove hair forever without pain? Does laser really work? I have dark dark hair.
Laser hair removal has actually been surpassed by IPL hair removal (in Australia & at Pretty Face Medispa Here In Westchester New York – that is). As a Laser Aesthetician I have used and experienced both. I have dark hair and olive skin. I did have some hypopigmentation from the Ruby Laser but it resolved. I have had no side effects from the IPL and all my hair has gone…. legs, underarms, bikini. It’s wonderful, not having to worry about it anymore. Both laser and IPL are attracted to the melanin in the hair and only goes as deep as the hair root.It is not invasive at all and feels like a slight rubber band flicking the skin. It doesn’t cause cancer !!!! Either way it will take several treatments to be hair free.

PAINLESS LASER HAIR REMOVAL-www.prettyfacemedispa.com

Posted by admin on Feb 7, 2010 under laser hair removal

I know some people may not be interested in this so please feel free to skip this video! At the same time, I hope anyone interested in laser hair removal might find it a bit useful! The clinic I had my treatments at is SK:N http://www.sknclinics.co.uk/ One of the biggest things I forgot to mention was the exact feeling of the laser around session 3-4. Its hard to describe but its like a sharp, quick ping of an elastic band with a slight burn lol! It lasts split seconds and remember a little pain, a BIG gain! Cold and I mean COLD air is blasted on your face which takes a lot of the edge off! You may even find it doesn’t hurt you quite so much, I have very course hair or I should say HAD! FYI: Top lip is the painful area but only requires about 8 little zaps! I had a course of 6 treatments in total which worked out to roughly £80 a session and I have about 95% reduction so may have another treatment to blast the final 5%. My course of treatments was on offer so cheaper than usual. SK:N run these promotions quite frequently so it’s worth waiting for as it reduces the price substantially! I would recommend booking all your treatments in one go as a) it makes each session cheaper and b) going for one session will not reduce the hair but will cost you just under £100! Its a lot of money but worth it when 6 months later you are hair free!!! Woop! Also worth noting, laser does not work on blonde hair as there is no pigmentation for the laser to travel down. Any more questions please post me a comment! :)

Enjoy a Natural Refreshed Look with Botox, Juvederm & Restylane

Posted by admin on Jan 26, 2010 under botox, new york medispa

http://www.drkaram.com 858-259-FACE San Diego Facial Plastic Surgeon Dr. Amir Karam describes how he gave 2 of his patients a more refreshed natural look using a combination of dermal fillers like Restylane or Juvederm and Botox Injections. Laura received a combination of Cosmetic Botox & Juvederm in her lower eyelids and lips to achieve her goals without having to undergo eyelid surgery. For Stephanie, cosmetic surgeon Dr. Karam performed a liquid eyelift using Restylane to give her a more rested look. Cosmetic Botox is used to treat unwanted wrinkles on the face and neck. Botox treatment is used to eliminate dynamic wrinkles (motion wrinkles). These wrinkles are caused by contraction of the facial muscles. After time, this repeated muscle contractions results in permanent wrinkles (static wrinkles). Static wrinkles are defined as lines and creases that remain on the skin even when the face is not moving. Cosmetic Botox injections have revolutionized our ability to treat dynamic wrinkles of the face, that once required facial surgery to remove. Botox works by decreasing the activity of muscles which produce these wrinkles. Perhaps, one of the most important benefits of repeated long-term treatment is prevention of wrinkle formation. Non Surgical Eye Rejuvenation – San Diego Restylane & Juvederm – Hyaluranic Acids With age a layer of fat around our eyes begins to diminish, which leave our eyes looking hollow, sunken, and bony. This process starts as early as mid 30s and continues to worsen with age. In these cases, removing fat would make the eyes look even more sunken and hollow. Therefore, fillers such as Restylane can be used to fill the tear troughs of the lower lids as well as the hollows along the upper eyelid region. This is an in-office procedure and typically takes 10 minutes and is virtually painless. Until recently, this component of facial aging was overlooked. We are now realizing what a major contribution volume makes to looking younger, healthier and more energetic. The results can be dramatic. They leave the eyes looking significantly more refreshed and less tired-appearing. Often this can be combined with Botox Cosmetic, which be used to lift the eyebrows and significantly reduce the appearance of wrinkles in the crows feet and along the lower eyelid region.

These dramatic skin rejuventation results can be obtained from Pretty Face Medispa right here in Westchester New York. Regain a youthful appearance WITHOUT the high cost of plastic surgery!
