Sciton ProFractional Laser Treatment: Rejuvenate Your Skin with Precision

$Profractional-Treatment- Results$

ProFractional Laser Treatment

As we age, our skin goes through a natural process of wear and tear, losing its youthful glow and succumbing to various imperfections. Fortunately, advancements in dermatology have provided us with innovative solutions to combat these skin concerns. One such solution is Sciton ProFractional laser treatment, which offers effective scar revision, skin resurfacing, and a pathway to a more youthful appearance.

What is ProFractional Laser Treatment?

ProFractional laser treatment is a cutting-edge skin rejuvenation technique that utilizes a fractionated laser beam to target specific areas of the skin. This precise approach promotes collagen production, which helps improve the skin’s texture, reduces wrinkles, acne scars, and minimizes enlarged pores. Unlike traditional laser treatments, ProFractional treatment only treats a fraction of the skin, leaving surrounding tissues intact, thereby accelerating the healing process.

Reduction of Wrinkles and Acne Scars: ProFractional laser treatment can significantly diminish the appearance of wrinkles and acne scars, giving you smoother, rejuvenated skin.
Minimized Enlarged Pores: Enlarged pores can be frustrating, as they can make the skin appear less smooth. ProFractional laser treatment helps minimize pore size, resulting in a more refined complexion.
Enhanced Rejuvenation and Youthful Appearance: By stimulating collagen production, ProFractional treatment helps bring back youthfulness and vitality to your skin, giving you a more radiant and rejuvenated appearance.

ProFractional Laser Treatment Results

ProFractional laser treatment delivers impressive results. Most patients notice visible improvements in skin texture, reduced wrinkles, and diminished acne scars within a few weeks of treatment. The precise targeting of Sciton ProFractional treatment ensures optimal outcomes, especially when addressing specific concerns like acne scars or eye rejuvenation.

Do Eye Creams Really Work?

An eye cream is a type of moisturizer designed specifically for the delicate skin around the eyes. It’s true that some people use a general face cream in this area, but others believe it requires extra care.

If you’re looking to add an eye cream to your beauty regimen, hydrating and moisturizing are two key features to seek out. But eye creams can do so much more.

ENVY Skin Clinic is a medspa Bloomington are passionate about helping you make your skin the best it can look. Do eye creams really work? Here’s what the experts have to say.

What eye creams can do

Since the skin around your eyes is more delicate than the rest of your face, it’s no great surprise that this area is one of the first places to display the fine lines and wrinkles that come with getting older. But unlike the forehead or lips or cheeks that can withstand injections of Botox® or dermal fillers to smooth out the creases, the eye area can’t. Hence, the eye cream.

Since there are fewer oil glands in the undereye area, the skin is prone to drying out quickly, That means using a hydrating formula is incredibly important.

Some experts believe the ideal eye moisturizer contains:

Humectants, such as hyaluronic acid and glycerin, bind water to skin.
Emollients, such as ceramides and fatty acids, help improve skin texture and appearance.
Occlusives, like beeswax and mineral oil, prevent water from evaporating through skin.

Since the benefits of these components are well-known, you’re likely to have an easy time finding an eye cream that contains them.

Eye creams can also reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles that occur from decreased collagen production — the protein that gives our skin strength and resilience — and sun or environmental damage.

To reduce fine lines and wrinkles, choose an eye cream with:

Peptides: short amino acid chains that build collagen and hyaluronic acid
Retinol (a form of vitamin A): increases skin elasticity by speeding up cell turnover and collagen production
Vitamin C: an antioxidant to reduce signs of sun damage

Hydration can also temporarily reduce the appearance of fine lines. A 2017 study demonstrated an improvement in the skin 15 minutes after applying a hydrating cream, with the decrease in fine lines lasting for at least 56 days.

What eye creams can’t do

Eye creams are good at fine lines and wrinkles, but they can’t adequately address under eye puffiness. The results are temporary, and they require caffeine. If the creams contain a high concentration of caffeine, it constricts the blood vessels leading to the eye area and decreases puffiness.

A small 2009 study found that eye cream with caffeine helped minimize the appearance of wrinkles and smooth out the skin.

Eye cream also can’t take away dark circles, which in many cases are genetic, but you have plenty of other options. The easiest is a tinted moisturizer. It provides the benefits of an eye cream while also acting as a concealer to hide dark circles. Longer-lasting solutions, such as chemical peels or lasers, involve talking with your doctor about what’s appropriate for you.

If you’re interested in getting started with an eye cream, we offer the SkinMedica line of products in-office or directly on our website. If you’d like to learn more about eye creams and what they have to offer, schedule a consultation with one of our providers.

Say Goodbye to Damaged Skin with IPL Photofacial

What is IPL Photofacial or IPL Skin Rejuvenation?

A photofacial is a 30-minute procedure in which intense pulses of light are used to penetrate deep into the skin. IPL™ photorejuvenation then causes collagen and blood vessels below to constrict removing age spots, red spots, and other pigmentary anomalies. The procedure involves only minimal discomfort, while the redness and swelling that may last at most for 2-3 days. Benefits of a photofacial occur gradually in the weeks following treatment as the skin is transformed into a smoother and more even look.

Is a Photofacial Right for Me?

A photofacial is beneficial if you have any age spots, or reddish-brown spots on the skin. These types of pigment spots are often seen with aging, sun-exposure, and with smoking. The procedure requires a free consultation often with a test spot followed by a 30-minute treatment a few days later. The procedure has no downtime making it convenient even with a busy schedule.

A photofacial can also improve skin texture, eliminating discolorations, reduce pore size, and minimize wrinkles.

How does IPL Work?

During IPL™ photorejuvenation treatment, high energy light waves are used to reduce or eliminate many common effects of aging, including facial wrinkles and skin discolorations. IPL™ light also encourages the production of collagen, a natural protein that fills in wrinkles, making the skin smooth and supple. With each treatment, the results of IPL™ photorejuvenation become more pronounced. Five full-face IPL™ photofacial/fotofacial sessions spaced three weeks apart are normally required for optimal results.

What is the cost of a IPL Photofacial?

At ENVY Skin Clinic, we create a customized treatment plan based on your skin and your goals. So it is difficult to estimate the cost without understanding the number of treatments that you may require.

3 Ways to Reduce the Appearance of Acne Scars

Acne is the most common skin condition in the world, but that doesn’t mean its effects don’t hurt. Stubborn acne can leave physical and emotional scars that don’t just go away with time, no matter how stringent your skincare routine.

Healing from acne is more than just getting rid of red bumps, and our staff at ENVY Skin Clinic have a number of solutions to alleviate acne scarring with a collection of innovative and deeply penetrating treatments available at our location. With deliberate care and a skin-friendly lifestyle, you’ll go from dreading what’s in the mirror to loving it.

What acne does

Acne is a long-running skin infection that usually starts as a person is experiencing puberty. Pores on your face, neck, shoulders and back fill with bacteria, oil, dirt, and dead skin. When this happens, the pore enlarges, sometimes becoming painful or often developing white caps or black points on your skin.

Pimples, acne’s signature symptom, can vary depending on the person, their environment, their lifestyle, and other factors. Whiteheads and blackheads are what most people imagine when they think of pimples, but the papules, nodules, and cysts of severe acne can cause years of pain and embarrassment for people with acne.

Many, if not most, often treat pimples by popping them. Though the satisfaction is enough for many acne sufferers, the consequences of popping pimples include the return of the pimple and an exacerbated infection.

Acne tends to affect people with oily skin, though people with normal to dry skin can be affected by acne, too. A family history of acne is a huge determining factor, though there is a long list of things that can exacerbate acne, including:

Stress
Low-quality sleep
A diet featuring lots of sugar and fried food
Conditions that cause hormonal imbalance, including pregnancy
Certain medications
Oil-heavy skincare products

Even though doctors can’t solidly agree on the whole list of acne causes, there is no doubt that acne scars are a problem and that treating them effectively can enhance your mood and augment your self-esteem.

3 ways to reduce the appearance of acne scars

Reducing acne scars is possible with surgical procedures, but there is no need to go under the knife. Instead, we offer solutions that get you real results without putting you under general anesthesia.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are liquid exfoliators applied directly to the skin to treat a number of acne and aging skin concerns. Chemical peels are available over-the-counter, but store-bought peels don’t have the power or effectiveness of our signature in-office services.

Chemical peels start with a thorough cleaning for your skin. Afterward, the peeling solution is applied to your skin. The type of peel that’s best for your acne scars depends on what your provider recommends after you have a full consultation. After your peel, use an SPF of at least 30, and stay out of direct sunlight.

Microneedling

Collagen induction therapy, or microneedling, helps your skin to heal from the inside out by creating controlled, tiny tears in the skin, triggering the production of collagen and elastin to create soft, supple new skin.

Like chemical peels, microneedling starts with a thorough cleansing, after which a topical numbing agent is applied. Your provider treats your acne scars with a handheld device containing sterile needles that are safely disposed of after a single use.

Fillers

The bump-and-crater nature of severe acne scarring can be easily treated with topical treatments, but some may prefer a solution with instant and long-lasting results. ENVY Skin Clinic offers a number of different types of fillers, all of which can visibly improve the texture of your skin on the day of your treatment.

When you’re ready for a change

The decision to treat your acne scarring might be difficult, particularly if you aren’t sure of where to start. We suggest taking a long look in the mirror, figuring out what, if anything, is bothering you, and then giving us a call.

Yes, You Can Remove Hair There

If you’re tired of the time, hassle, and irritation of continually shaving, plucking, or waxing your unwanted hair, don’t despair! Laser hair removal (LHR) can handle the job with no muss and no fuss.

At ENVY Skin Clinic, our certified laser specialist relies on the latest technology to remove unwanted hair from just about any place on your body, including the full bikini area and the buttocks. If you’re concerned about hair “down there,” we have the solution for you whenever you’re ready to start.

Why laser hair removal?

Plucking, waxing, and shaving only remove part of the hairs in each follicle, so they can easily regenerate. Lasers, on the other hand, destroy the follicles themselves, preventing hair from coming back.

Lasers produce a focused beam of light at a specific wavelength. When used for hair removal, the laser light is absorbed by the melanin pigment in the hairs. There, the light energy is converted into heat energy, which damages the hair follicles. That prevents, or severely delays, new hair growth.

LHR only targets hairs in the active growth phase (anagen), which is about 20% of the total amount of hair. That means you’ll need several sessions, spaced a few weeks apart, for each treatment area to ensure all the active follicles have been inactivated.

LHR can be used successfully on all skin types, but it’s most effective for people with light skin and dark hair. Dark hair is usually best because it contains the most melanin; light skin contains less melanin, so the treatment doesn’t damage the skin around the follicles.

Unlike other hair removal methods, which need to tackle one hair shaft/follicle at a time and can be extremely time-consuming, lasers treat many hairs at once. In fact, the laser can treat a quarter-sized area every second. Small areas like the upper lip take less than a minute to treat, while large areas, such as the back or legs, may take up to an hour.

Where can you remove hair with lasers?

The most sought-after areas for hair removal include:

Legs
Armpits
Upper lip
Chin
Shoulders
Chest
Back

And, yes, you can remove hair “down there.” The bikini area and the buttocks are also popular areas to treat.

All told, you can remove unwanted hair from almost any place on the body, except for the eyelids and the surrounding area, where the skin is extremely delicate.

If you have unwanted hair and are tired of the constant shaving or plucking, laser hair removal may be the right option for you.

Why Botox Is the Best Cosmetic Tool for Long-Term Wrinkle Reduction

Are the effects of aging making you feel self-conscious about your appearance? You might want to consider Botox®. It’s a popular cosmetic treatment that reduces wrinkles and fine lines around your eyes. With continued use, the effects of Botox can last long-term and help you feel more confident.

Botox has been around the longest

Botox has been FDA-approved for cosmetic purposes since 2002. As a result, there are nearly two decades of tried-and-true results.

Botox is considered safe for anyone over the age of 18. Whether you want to get rid of crow’s feet or prevent them from forming in the first place, chances are, Botox is right for you.

Over the years, our team has helped hundreds of patients look and feel their best. We trust Botox and have the experience and training to give you natural-looking results.

Botox treatments are quick and effective

On average, your Botox appointments last between 15-20 minutes. That said, it takes a day or two to see results. Depending on your needs, age, and other variables, the effects of Botox injections usually last between three and six months. This means you may only need to get the treatment two to four times a year.

If you use Botox regularly, the effects will last longer and you won’t need as many appointments. This makes paying for Botox, as well as scheduling your treatments, much easier than a cosmetic tool that requires monthly upkeep.

Botox injections aren’t painful — you don’t need anesthesia, which makes it much safer than other options. You can stop receiving injections at any time without abnormal sagging or wrinkling.

Botox treatments slow down the aging process

Keep in mind, you’ll still need consistent treatments to maintain the youthful appearance Botox provides. That said, regular use of Botox can drastically slow down the aging process. For example, people who receive Botox injections long-term experience a change in their muscles that causes them to make less “aggressive” expressions. As your facial muscles stay relaxed, the skin covering them also releases any folds or wrinkles.

Some studies show that patients who have Botox for more than 10 years look visibly younger than those without. Botox can also prevent new wrinkles from forming, which makes it a popular therapy with young adults who don’t want wrinkles to form in the first place.

Should you consider Botox?

Botox is a great option for preventing wrinkles and other signs of aging. If you’re interested in Botox injections, call us or request an appointment online today at ENVY Skin Clinic We’ll help you look and feel incredible.
