12 Aug Why Non-Invasive Skin Treatments Might Be Just What You Need
Our skin is the biggest organ we have and it faces a lot of challenges day after day: UV damage that leads to brown spots, weight fluctuations that cause skin laxity, and furrowed brows that cause wrinkles and fine lines, and these are just a few of the most common issues. At Parson Skin Center, we’re committed to helping you find the right solution for your unique skin issues and goals. Most of us start noticing fine lines and other signs of aging as early as our 20s. However, that doesn’t mean we’re ready for surgical intervention—or even that surgery is the right option. In fact, surgeries such as a facelift often don’t treat our concerns.
A lot of people think they need a facelift when they start seeing signs of aging on the face, neck, and tops of the hands. However, this surgery only addresses skin laxity. It does nothing to improve the quality of the skin itself including brown spots, age spots, poor texture, and overall dullness. The reality is that laser skin rejuvenation can tighten skin and dramatically improve the quality of the skin . Many clients are pleasantly surprised to find out that laser skin rejuvenation is actually the best treatment for them.
But which laser is best?
Understanding the Differences in Lasers for Skin Rejuvenation
There are a lot of skin lasers out there, so where do you get started? Parson Skin Center only offers the best, proven lasers including CO2 resurfacing laser, ResurFX, ActiveFX, and GentleMax Pro. CO2 lasers are our most popular laser because it uses fractional technology to repair the skin and encourage the appearance of younger, healthier looking skin. Skin treated with a CO2 laser is tighter, brighter, and looks years younger.
You can use a CO2 laser on the face and neck, but also just about any other body part. We don’t only age or experience sun damage on our face and neck—that’s just usually the first places that show it. A CO2 laser can be used on the hands, chest, and arms, too. Following a CO2 laser treatment, your aesthetician will customize a complete anti-aging regimen for you to sustain your results. Pairing in-office laser skin rejuvenation with at-home care is the best way to extend and optimize results.
Beautiful Skin with a Laser Focus
The ResurFX by Lumenis is another fantastic option for laser skin rejuvenation. This laser works quickly, very effectively, and can be customized to your skin type and concerns. With the ResurFX you can treat sunspots and other types of hyperpigmentation, acne scarring, stretch marks, fine lines and wrinkles, as well as sagging skin. Clients love it because it’s so fast and gentle, and the results are astonishing.
Other clients might find that they prefer ActiveFX for their laser skin rejuvenation treatments. It’s especially helpful for the eyelid area, deeper lines, treating pre-cancerous areas, and overall improvement of skin tone and texture. A light energy is used with ActiveFX to encourage the production of collagen that will continue to improve the skin’s appearance over time. This laser is also quick, and the numbing cream makes the treatment comfortable. Results are long lasting, especially for those who adopt a better sun protection regimen following their treatment.
Getting Started with Laser Skin Rejuvenation
We’ll help determine the best laser for you. It might be the GentleMax Pro, which is a dual-platform laser made by Syneron Candela. This laser is popular for laser hair removal, but can also be used to remove sun spots, correct sun damage, tighten the skin, and treat broken blood vessels or overall facial redness. Combining laser skin rejuvenation treatments is also possible, and gives you a completely personalized approach.
Laser skin rejuvenation does much more than treat skin laxity. It’s a means of addressing all of your skin concerns in a non-invasive treatment. Most laser skin rejuvenation approaches require a series of treatments based on your skin and specific concerns. However, you’ll notice results after just one treatment.
