Now that you’ve transitioned your skincare products from summer to fall, it’s time to take the extra step of treating yourself and showing your skin a little extra love as summer turns into autumn. Below the professionals of Faces Med Spa chat about the best facial treatments to get during the fall.

 

Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that physically exfoliates the skin. The goal of this non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment is to enhance the texture and appearance of the skin.

Microdermabrasion is a dual-step procedure. First, your nurse practitioner will gently exfoliate your face using an exfoliant spray and wand tool to remove the outside layer of the skin. The abrasive action of the wand gently removes the outer surface layers, allowing smoother, fresher skin to be apparent.

Your practitioner will apply a vacuum after the exfoliation procedure to improve microcirculation and lymphatic flow, which will improve the blood supply to the skin and promote skin regeneration. This promotes the production of new collagen and elastin, which enhances the skin’s smoothness and elasticity.

 

Chemical Peel
A chemical peel uses a chemical solution to enhance the appearance of your skin. A chemical solution is applied to the skin during a chemical peel, causing the outer layers of the skin to peel away to reveal new, younger-looking skin.

Following a chemical peel treatment, your skin is often sensitive and may be irritated. In order to achieve the best results from your chemical peel, it’s important that you do not pull the peeling skin. This can cause infection, breakouts and worsening irritation. Allow your skin to naturally shed to ensure that the treatment works as intended. 

 

Hollywood Carbon Peel
The Hollywood Carbon Peel is a minimally invasive treatment that aims to revitalize the look of aging or damaged skin with no downtime. The Hollywood Carbon Peel elevates skin tone, minimizes pigmentation, fine wrinkles, and acne scars. Your skin will seem and feel more youthful! This treatment can be done once, but it is most effective when receiving follow-up peels.

The Best Skin Rejuvenating Treatments for Healthier Post-Summer Skin

We know you love that natural summer glow from catching UV rays by the pool or on the beach, but the sun can cause premature aging, sun spots, wrinkles and dead skin. Restoring your skin after summer is essential to prepare your skin for the upcoming colder months. Below, our professionals at Faces Med Spa offer tips to rejuvenate your skin and share the best procedures following sun exposure. 

What Effects Does The Sun Have on Your Skin?
Sunlight aids in the production of vitamin D, which is necessary for optimal bone development. However, UV radiation from the sun can cause serious skin damage. Melanin, the pigment that shields skin cells from the sun’s UV radiation, is found in the cells’ outer layer.  UV radiation can burn the skin, ultimately  causing the skin to lose suppleness and age prematurely. 

Collagen and elastin are essential proteins in your skin: collagen provides strength to your skin, while elastin allows it to return to its natural state if stretched. Both of these proteins can break down rapidly with elevated levels of UV ray exposure. UV exposure can accelerate the breakdown of collagen, which causes premature aging. The UV radiation permeates the skin’s middle layer, leading to an  unnatural accumulation of elastin. When elastin builds up, enzymes are generated that mistakenly tear down collagen, which causes premature aging.  It is important to understand the effects of UV exposure on your skin’s proteins to better protect against premature aging. 

Which Post-Summer Procedure is Right For Me?
With a wide array of treatments available, determining which treatment is right for your skin’s unique needs can be overwhelming. It is important to consult with a professional before deciding to undergo any form of treatment. Below, the professionals at Faces Med Spa outline common treatments and their benefits:

Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a noninvasive cosmetic procedure in which the skin is physically exfoliated. This gentle skin resurfacing technique is used to improve the texture and overall appearance of the skin. It targets acne, acne scars, stretch marks, large pores, pigment irregularities, fine lines, wrinkles and premature aging.  Benefits include improved skin elasticity and firmness, and an overall brighter complexion. 

Vi Peel®
Vi Peel is a synergistic blend of powerful ingredients including trichloroacetic acid (TCA), Tretinoic Acid, Salicylic Acid, Phenol, Vitamin C and a mineral blend. VI Peel is suitable for all skin types and aids in the improvement of skin tone, texture and clarity and is specifically formulated to rejuvenate skin cells and help prevent any future damage. With the non-invasive procedure, you will see a reduction in age spots, acne, acne scars, freckles, hyper-pigmentation, soft lines and wrinkles.

Intense Pulse Light Therapy (IPL)
IPL is a gentle pulsating light technology that has a combined energy that effectively restores and rejuvenates the appearance of your skin. IPL targets any imperfections from sun damage, uneven skin tones such as brown or red spots, including rosacea, spider veins and age spots.

Benefits of Facial Rejuvenation

Maintaining youthful skin can be difficult with the stress of daily life and work, and that’s why the professionals at Faces Med Spa are here to help you combat premature aging and chat about the different types and advantages of skin rejuvenation.

Say Hello to Smooth Skin With Sublative Therapy
Do you ever look into the mirror wishing that your wrinkles would disappear and your skin would go back to its smooth and youthful state? If so, sublative therapy can help you get the skin back that you desire. Sublative therapy is a laser treatment that is directed into the skin allowing the healthy skin around the lasers to accelerate the skin’s healing process. After the procedure, new collagen and healthy skin cells are generated decreasing mild to moderate wrinkles, as well as superficial flaws in the tone and texture of your skin.

Boost Your Confidence AND Collagen
Sublative Therapy encourages your body’s natural collagen development, helping you regain what can be lost during the aging process. Another advantage is that the sessions are generally painless and brief in comparison to other facial rejuvenation treatments. Additionally, sublative therapy is non-irritating and suitable for all skin types, textures and pigments.

Combat Premature Aging With Ultherapy
Every woman dreams of maintaining her vibrant and youthful appearance for as long as she can, but the natural processes of aging can cause skin to droop, loosen, and appear quite dull. Allow Ultherapy to help you in the fight against aging and leave you with brighter tighter skin. Ultherapy is a non-surgical ultrasound treatment that helps your skin fight the ravages of aging and gravity by softly and gradually lifting skin on the brow, beneath the chin, and on the neck, while also smoothing creases and wrinkles on the décolletage, all using the body’s natural regenerative reaction.

Unique Benefits of Ultherapy
Ultherapy is a great option for rejuvenating your skin because there is no need for surgery! Without a surgical procedure, ultherapy has no downtime or recovery period. Ultherapy can also be tailored to your specific needs allowing for the possible reduction of further aging.

Go Make-Up Free With The Hollywood Carbon Peel
Going makeup free isn’t a preference for everyone, especially for those who may feel insecure of the current state of their skin. The Hollywood Carbon Peel can grant you the confidence boost you may need to rock the all-natural makeup free look this summer. This procedure evens up skin tone and minimizes pigmentation, fine wrinkles, as well as acne scars.

Say Goodbye to Fine Lines and Hello to Glowing Tones
Hollywood Carbon peels improve skin tone and texture, create a glowing tone, smooth the skin, and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Much like Ultherapy treatments, a Hollywood Carbon Peel is a non-surgical procedure, meaning no downtime! Additionally, Hollywood Carbon peels are safe for all skin types and continue to stimulate the production of collagen.
