Laser/Light Therapy
TREATMENT OF AGE SPOTS AND IMPROVE TONE AND TEXTURE
IPL (Viora V-IPL)
Intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy, aka photofacial, is a way to improve the color and texture of your skin without surgery. It can undo some of the visible damage caused by sun exposure -- called photoaging. You may notice it mostly on your face, neck, hands, or chest. Avoid exposing yourself to the sun at least a week before treatment. Stop using self-tanners about two weeks before your appointment. Avoid wearing makeup day of appointment and drink lots of water. Redness around the treated area for two to five days. Immediately after treatment you may experience minor bruising that may last up to two weeks, freckles and age spots may darken for three to seven days before starting to fade. Skin flaking and crusting may happen for up to 10 days, and a sensation of sunburn for two to five hours immediately after treatment.
Lip Plumping
If you have thin lips but are nervous about trying injectables like Juvéderm, laser treatment may be right for you. Thin, aged, and saggy lips benefit greatly from laser treatments, which boost collagen to give a natural, fuller appearance and shine to the lips. In addition, laser treatments for your lips will help with defining your upper lip border, which tends to get fuzzy as we age, as well as treating fine lines around your mouth. What is a lip plumping treatment like? The procedure is relatively quick and painless. Pulses of laser are applied to your lip area. You will mainly feel a warm sensation, although some patients feel a slight pinching – similar to the snap of a rubber band. How many treatments do I need? Some patients see improvement after the first treatment, but it typically takes a few treatments to see a difference. It is best to have treatments four to six weeks apart as needed that you may get the results you are looking for. We recommend periodic touch-up treatments that may give the best results.
