TRILIFT for Non-surgical Facelift

A facelift works wonders for those aiming to look younger and feel more confident. Or, someone who is looking for sagging skin treatment might love the results. Envy Skin Clinic has experience and specializes in facial procedures around the eyes and upper face. We have a team that is skilled in various treatments. We are thrilled to introduce a non-surgical option that slows down aging. Unlike traditional facelift surgery, which can be invasive and lead to tight, unnatural-looking skin, this new approach requires less downtime and avoids the risks of going under the knife. It’s a simpler way to achieve significant improvements in appearance without surgery, making it more accessible and safer for patients.

What is TriLift?

TriLift laser treatment represents a non-surgical way to refresh your face using special technology. It combines Dynamic Muscle Stimulation (DMSt™) with TriPollar RF and triFX radiofrequency microneedling. This combo helps ease facial lines, improve skin texture, and tone your muscles, giving your face a lift without surgery.

This sagging skin treatment focuses on three key aspects of aging: the look and feel of your skin, its structure, and how your face is shaped. By working on three different layers of your skin, the top layer, middle layer, and muscles, TriLift tackles all these elements.

The DMSt technology gently exercises your muscles, making them firmer and more defined. Then, the TriPollar RF and triFX microneedling steps kick in, boosting collagen and elastin in your skin. It tightens your skin, adds volume, and makes it smoother. TriLift can reduce wrinkles by about 30%, increase skin smoothness by 80%, and even triple the Hyaluronic Acid (HA) production for that youthful glow.

Is There a Downtime When Using TriLift?

TriLift doesn’t need prep or anesthesia like a surgical facelift. There’s minimal downtime, usually just 20 to 30 minutes per session. You’ll notice an immediate lift and radiance. Plus, with more sessions, your results will get even better over time.

How Does It Really Work?

Noninvasive energy-based treatment for the face works differently from surgery. It’s hassle-free, with minimal downtime and no need for anesthesia or special prep. Yet, it achieves facelift-like results.

TriLift simultaneously works on three aging aspects: structure, contour, and texture. It uses various technologies and energies to rejuvenate each element:

Dynamic Muscle Stimulation (DMSt) activates facial muscles, giving a toned and lifted appearance.
Third-generation TriPollar® RF thickens the dermal layer, tackling wrinkles by boosting collagen and elastin production.
TriFX RF microneedling enhances natural volume, tightens, and smoothens skin texture.
This saggy face skin treatment combines these methods to stimulate your skin’s natural rejuvenation process, providing a refreshed and lifted facial look without invasive procedures.

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.
