In our world of plenty, you have many ways to rejuvenate your skin. Some — such as chemical peels and hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers — are instantaneous. You leave your appointment with smoother, plumper, fresher-looking skin.
But if you want to make a difference that goes farther than skin deep, your body needs time to work. The most dramatic rejuvenating results harness your body’s natural healing processes to disassemble old, sagging skin matrixes and replace them with strong new ones.
That’s why, if you want to wow the world in the fall, you need to start now. It may take a few months before you can improve or remove:
At Aesthetics, by Dr. Lee, we offer a wide range of instantaneous and long-term rejuvenation treatments. At our office in Granite Bay, California, you consult with our aesthetic experts, who work under the skilled and knowledgeable guidance of Dr. Luis Lee.
How can you start now to build your skin anew? Here are seven choices.
FDA-cleared UltraClear laser uses a revolutionary 3DMIRACL® cold fiber technology to reverse the signs of aging. You can easily squeeze the 15- to 30-minute treatment into your busy day.
You can choose a light treatment, which has no recovery time, or opt for a deeper experience and give yourself a day off.
The lunchtime light peel option improves your skin within five days and lasts for a few months. The deeper peel option confers benefits that last for up to five years.
The groundbreaking, FDA-cleared Halo laser combines the benefits of ablative and nonablative lasers in one device. The ablative laser destroys the old dead skin cells of the epidermis and heats the underlying skin, which triggers collagen remodeling.
The nonablative mode also heats the skin, without causing further damage, which boosts your collagen and elastin, increases blood flow, and encourages the development of new blood vessels to keep your new skin strong, glowing, and vibrant.
Most patients only need one or two treatments per year.
Broadband light (BBL) has a strong safety profile, due to its many years of use in clinical practice. Unlike lasers, BBL delivers broad-spectrum visible and infrared light energy into the skin.
It stimulates growth without first making the skin undergo a wounding process. The treatment takes about 15 minutes. You may need a series of 3-4 treatments to achieve your goals, with touch-ups several times a year.
The SkinTyte II system is a type of BBL that relies on four passes over your skin to improve its quality. Each pass uses a different wavelength of light to address specific problems, such as hyperpigmentation and skin sagging.
Unlike lasers, SkinTyte doesn’t damage your skin. Compared with other modalities, such as Ultherapy, SkinTyte is gentle, comfortable, and quick.
Sofwave’s synchronous ultrasound parallel beam (SUPERB™) technology uses the power of sound waves to reach deep into your skin. While all rejuvenation methods stimulate collagen and elastin (i.e., a protein that makes your skin pliable), Sofwave also stimulates your skin to produce more HA.
The extra HA helps your skin stay moisturized and youthful. Sofwave treatments take only 30-45 minutes. After just one treatment, you notice results within a week, but improvements continue for 12 weeks. Results last about one year.
The Vampire Facelift provides both immediate improvement and long-term skin remodeling. First, we inject your skin with HA fillers to better define the shape of your face.
Next, we create a platelet-rich-plasma (PRP) serum from your own blood. We then inject this powerful serum into your face to stimulate collagen remodeling.
Give yourself about two weeks before attending a major event, because you may have some swelling. Your PRP starts to augment the immediate effects of the HA in a few weeks. Your results can last for a year or two.
Unlike HA fillers, Sculptra works both immediately and over the long term. While the gel that carries poly-L-lactic acid particles into your skin temporarily plumps up creases and wrinkles, it’s the particles that give your skin a lasting boost.
The particles create a temporary irritation that breaks down and removes aging skin components and builds them anew. Your skin may still be glowing and youthful two years after your treatment.
