Contact us today at A Younger You located in Burlington, WI, and ask us about how you can make these eyelash extensions a part of your life.

How Long Do Eyelash Extensions Last?

Before you decide to commit to eyelash extensions, you may be wondering how long they last. With the proper care, your eyelash extensions may last as long as four weeks, but it’s typically recommended that you come in for maintenance anywhere from two to three weeks after your initial appointment. There’s no rule about when you should schedule your lash upkeep appointments, but we can help you determine the best schedule based on your lashes.

What Are Borboleta Eyelash Extensions?

At A Younger You, we’ve partnered with Borboleta Eye Lash Extensions and are proud to offer these beautiful, high-quality lashes to our clientele. Our goal is to help you look and feel as beautiful on the outside as you are on the inside, and these eyelashes will do just that.

High-Quality Eyelashes

Borboleta has created eyelashes that have become the gold standard in the beauty industry. As a bonus, the company embraces diversity when it comes to beauty, and its selection of eyelashes reflects that. You are unique and when it comes to your lashes, your desired look may be different from that of someone else’s.

Customizable Eyelashes

These lashes are completely customizable. Made of faux mink, they come in different lengths so that you can choose your perfect length, quantity, and even the type of curl you want for your lashes. Whether you want a dramatic look or a simple look that subtly enhances your features, we can help you customize your lashes to the exact look that you want.

The Benefits of Eyelash Extensions

No More Mascara

Finding the perfect mascara is nearly impossible, and once you take the step to invest in these natural-looking eyelashes, you can end your search for good. You’ll have full, beautiful lashes that will look natural, never clumpy or spider-like.

You Can Get Ready Faster

These eyelashes brighten up your face and make you appear as though you got ready for the day, even if you literally just got out of bed. You won’t need makeup remover to get mascara off your lashes each day, and you can get away with wearing less makeup if you want as well. You can also dress them up when you’re in the mood for more makeup, but you won’t have to waste time priming, curling, and applying mascara to your lashes.

No More Messy Fake Eyelashes

Trying to apply false eyelashes takes a lot of skill, and for even the skilled it can take quite a bit of time. This skill can be difficult to perfect, and you may have to sacrifice your eye makeup in the process. Once you invest in these extensions, you won’t have to mess with eyelash glue or fake lashes. Your extensions will be enhanced versions of your natural lashes and you won’t have to worry about putting them on and taking them off each day.

How to Prepare for Your Eyelash Appointment

To get the most out of your appointment, there are some things that you should know ahead of time and ways that you can prepare for your appointment so that it goes as smoothly as possible.

Don’t Wear Makeup

Before you show up for your appointment, make sure that you don’t apply any makeup to your eye area. The area should be clean, free of any eyeshadow, mascara, and even under-eye concealer. Wearing a moisturizer or sunscreen on your face is fine, but avoid your eye area during application.

Plan Your Day Accordingly

Your first appointment will take the longest since you’ll be establishing your base set of lashes from scratch. This appointment typically takes two and a half hours total. When you schedule your appointment, be sure to block out this time on your calendar. Maintenance appointments following your initial visit will be much shorter and will take approximately one hour.

Sit Back and Relax

Don’t worry about trying to stay awake or about having something to keep you busy because you will be keeping your eyes shut during the appointment. It will probably be the most relaxing two and a half hours of your week. And, it’s perfectly fine with us if you want to use the time to catch up on your beauty sleep because when you wake up, you’ll have beautiful eyelashes.

How To Make Your New Extensions Last Longer

When you take care of your eyelash extensions, you will get the most and longest wear out of them. We will give you a full list of aftercare instructions at the end of your appointment, but one way to make your lashes last longer is to wash them twice a day. We recommend the Borboleta Lash Bath, a cleanser that is safe for your lashes. Using this cleanser twice a day will:

• Help your lashes last as long as possible 
• Keep them looking fresh
• Help prevent eye irritations
• Prevent the spread of bacteria around your eyes and lashes

Thanks to revolutionary anti-aging treatments, you don’t need to undergo a facelift or surgery to improve the appearance of sagging skin. However you may have concerns about these new treatments, in particular, whether you might experience any pain or discomfort. At A Younger You Medical Spa in Burlington, WI, we are happy to say that out treatments such as ultherapy are an excellent way to help address sagging, wrinkled skin, with as little discomfort as possible.

How Painful Is Ultherapy?

One of the most common myths floating around the beauty world is that ultherapy is painful. Honestly, we’re not convinced that any of the rumor-mongers have ever even had the treatment. Not only is ultherapy a procedure with minimal discomfort, but additionally, we will do everything in our power to keep you as comfortable as possible during the entire treatment.

Ultherapy and the Pain Scale

On a scale from one to ten, when asked, “How painful is ultherapy?”, we can easily rate it with confidence as a low-pain treatment. This treatment is not painful, but you may experience a warm sensation beneath the surface of the skin due to collagen stimulation. However, before your treatment, we will apply a topical numbing cream to completely remove any chances of discomfort. You will be able to lay back and relax as the ultrasound technology performs its job.

What Is Ultherapy?

Ultherapy is the only FDA-approved treatment that improves the appearance of sagging skin from the face to chest. Unlike lasers, which address the signs of aging through light energy, ultherapy utilizes sound energy through ultrasound technology to view and target the deepest layers of the skin.

How Does It Work?

When the ultrasound wand is placed onto the area of treatment, your technician will be able to view digital images of the layers of your skin on a screen. This allows for the most exact and precise ability to target the signs of aging in specific locations. When the ultrasound wand makes contact with the surface of the skin, sound energy reaches into the deepest layers of the skin. This creates minute disruptions in your tissues, which in turn stimulates your cells to produce collagen.

What Does It Treat?

This treatment specifically targets sagging skin on the face, specifically in the eyebrow region, beneath the chin, and on the neck, as well as fine lines and wrinkles that form in the chest region, also commonly referred to as the décolletage. The production of collagen in these areas leads to smoother, more elastic, and younger looking skin.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

Most patients only require one treatment to reach their goals. However, each person has a different goal and a different problem area that they want to address. During your consultation, we will be able to evaluate your goals and set up the best treatment plan based on your needs.

When Will I See Results?

Some patients notice results immediately following their ultherapy treatment. Others typically begin to see their results within two to three months post-treatment. Collagen production takes time, but once your results begin to appear, you will love what you see.

The Benefits of Ultherapy

It’s Powerful

Ultherapy targets the deepest layers of the skin in a way that laser treatments cannot. Its use of sound energy allows it to reach deeper than lasers can and therefore has a more powerful effect on the skin.

It’s Safe

Ultherapy is the only FDA-approved treatment of its kind to safely lift and improve sagging skin. It has been cleared and established as a safe treatment for all skin types.

It’s Long-Lasting

Once you achieve your desired results, you will be able to enjoy them for up to two years. When you begin to notice that your results are starting to disappear, you can simply return for a follow-up treatment and your results will return.

It’s Not Painful

Contrary to what you may have heard, the answer to the question, “How painful is ultherapy?” is that it isn’t painful. You’ll be able to enjoy your treatment without having to worry about pain, knowing that we have preplanned and taken every measure imaginable to ensure your maximum comfort.

Who Is a Candidate?

Have you begun to notice skin laxity, also known as sagging, around your eyebrows, beneath your chin, on your neck, or your chest? Are you frustrated with sagging skin but don’t want to commit to a surgical facelift? Do you want a minimally invasive treatment without any downtime that will get you results? If you can answer yes to any of these questions, you are a candidate for this treatment.

Consultations Matter

A consultation is an important step in the ultherapy treatment process. During your initial consultation, we will discuss your health history, skin concerns, aesthetic goals, and evaluate whether this treatment will give you the exact results you’re hoping for. We will also be able to further assure you regarding any additional concerns you have, and answer your questions. Once your consultation is complete, you will be that much closer to achieving lifted, youthful skin.

Aging happens, but you now have a say in how it affects your appearance, thanks to dermal fillers. At our office, we are proud to offer different fillers from the Restylane collection. If you want to begin an anti-aging treatment with Restylane, contact the experts at A Younger You Medical Spa in Burlington, WI, and we will be happy to develop a treatment plan that meets all of your aesthetic goals.

How Long Do Restylane Results Last?

Dermal fillers provide long-lasting results, and the Restylane collection is no different. Each of the fillers in this collection lasts for a different amount of time, but most provide results that last for a year or longer, some even up to three years. When you choose one of these fillers, we’re completely convinced that the results will exceed your expectations.

The Different Fillers

This collection of dermal fillers includes several different hyaluronic-acid-based formulations that are designed to target and treat wrinkles and create subtle enhancements in your appearance. They can also add volume to hands to restore youth and hide bony protrusions or visible veins.

Refyne

Refyne is a formulation that treats laugh lines by restoring volume beneath the surface of the skin. It treats nasolabial folds and marionette lines, helping you look more youthful. The benefit of Refyne is that it doesn’t change the way the rest of your face moves; it simply adds volume to the area.

Silk

Silk is used to augment the lips. Not only does it enhance the lips, increasing both their size and fullness, but it also smoothes vertical mouth wrinkles known as lipstick lines. Once injected with the product, your results will last anywhere from six to twelve months.

Lyft

Lyft treats volume loss in the cheeks. It is a versatile filler because it can also treat and correct nasolabial folds that run from the outer corner of the nose to the outer corners of the mouth, as well as the hands. It is made with a thicker gel that contains larger particles so that it can fill deep wrinkles. Results last anywhere from six to eighteen months total.

Kysse

Kysse is a lip filler that allows for flexible movement and volume that looks natural, not contrived or obvious. Once injected with Kysse, results can last anywhere from one to three years. When you choose Kysse, you won’t have to worry about losing your ability to move your lips naturally, which is why many people choose this lip filler over others of its kind. 

Defyne

Defyne addresses deeper laugh lines like the marionette lines that form around the chin, as well as deeper nasolabial folds that develop as a result of the aging process and volume loss. It provides natural-looking results that last up to twelve months with optimal treatment.

Restylane FAQ’s

What Happens During a Treatment?

Patients love Restylane products and part of the reason is that the creators made the injection process as painless as possible. Each of the fillers includes lidocaine, a mild numbing agent that keeps you comfortable during and after your injection. 

During treatment, your injector will clean your skin and then carefully administer the injections with a very thin needle. In less than 60 minutes, your injection will be complete and you will be free to go about your day.

Is There Any Downtime?

You won’t have to plan around any downtime following your appointment. You can go back to work or resume your normal daily activities. You should avoid excess heat, sun exposure, and intense exercise for at least 24 hours post-treatment. Your injector will provide you with all of the necessary instructions on how to care for your skin post-treatment during your appointment.

How Long Does It Take to See Results?

The benefit of these dermal fillers is that the results are fast-lasting. You will see immediate results after one Restylane treatment. Once the hyaluronic-acid based gel is injected below the surface of your skin, it will fill in your wrinkles and lines and create an instant smoothing effect. Your results will continue to improve and you’ll see your best results by two weeks post-treatment.

Am I a Candidate?

If you are a healthy adult who wants to treat the signs of aging on your face that have resulted from volume loss or enhance your lips, you are most likely a candidate who will benefit from this treatment. During your initial consultation, we’ll discuss your health history, any experience you’ve had with cosmetic injectables, and make sure that this treatment is a safe option for you.

Some patients are unable to undergo treatments due to safety precautions. Those who don’t qualify for treatment include:

• Those who are allergic to lidocaine
• Those who are allergic to the gram-positive bacterial proteins in the fillers
• Those with bleeding disorders
• Those who are prone to bleeding
• Women who are pregnant or nursing

There is a simple way to improve your skin without undergoing invasive treatments that require extensive amounts of downtime. Visit us at A Younger You Medical Spa in Burlington, WI, where we offer different effective chemical peels for a variety of skincare needs. Our treatments rejuvenate the skin, help improve problematic skin conditions, and keep your skin as healthy as possible. Once you experience one of our peels, you will be counting down the days until your next appointment.

What Are the Benefits of Getting Chemical Peels?

One of the simplest and most noninvasive ways to improve your skin is by implementing chemical peels into your skincare routine. These peels can transform your skin and improve problematic skin conditions you may have. Peels take skincare to the next level and help improve the skin in a way that your daily at-home routine is unable to. They benefit the skin in many ways, including:

• Improving the overall appearance of the skin
• Helping those with acne-prone skin
• Removing sunspots
• Reducing and reversing the signs of aging
• Improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

What Are Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels are a form of chemical exfoliation. They exfoliate the skin by dissolving the top layer and getting rid of the dead skin cells to reveal a fresh, youthful-looking layer beneath. Unlike physical exfoliants, which use tangible components to exfoliate the skin, you cannot see chemical exfoliation take place, but it does exfoliate the skin through the use of acids, typically AHA’s and BHA’s, as well as other nutrient-rich ingredients.

Our Chemical Peels

At A Younger You Medical Spa, we offer two different kinds of peels: the PCA Skin Peel and the VI Peel. The PCA Skin Peel is a gentle, corrective peel that will help your skin look fresh, youthful, and rejuvenated. It contains nutrient-rich ingredients that can help treat and improve:

• Acne blemishes
• Sun damage
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Oily and congested skin

We also offer VI Peels, which are some of the most popular peels on the beauty market today. These peels are so popular because they work. They can also be customized to meet the needs of every different skin type and tone. They can help:

• Improve the appearance of acne scars
• Clear active acne blemishes
• Reduce the appearance of enlarged pores
• Help improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation
• Improve the overall health of the skin

What Kind of Results Can I Expect?

If you’ve never experienced a chemical peel, you may have some preconceived notions about how your skin will look and feel post-treatment. It’s important to note that there are varying peel strengths and not every peel will result in downtime or red skin. Some peels are extremely gentle yet still deliver dramatic results. During your consultation, a skincare expert will tell you exactly what you can expect following your customized treatment.

Will I Peel?

Contrary to popular opinion, not every peel causes your skin to peel. As a general rule of thumb, the stronger the peel, the more likely it is you’ll experience peeling. The strength of your peel will be determined by your needs and your skin type. Some skin types simply cannot handle strong peels as well as others can, which is why it is important to undergo a consultation pre-treatment to determine which is best for your skin.

Is There Any Downtime?

You won’t have any significant amount of downtime following your treatment. You will, however, need to be mindful of the fact that a chemical peel exposes a fresh, new layer of skin. It looks more youthful, but it is also more vulnerable to the effects of the elements. For that reason, you need to avoid excess sun exposure following your treatment. If you do go into the sun, be sure to wear high-quality sunscreen as well as a hat and sunglasses for extra protection.

Who Is a Candidate for Treatment?

Those who want to treat problematic skin conditions like acne, sunspots, discoloration, or lines and wrinkles are good candidates for this skincare treatment. However, you don’t have to have a problematic skin condition to qualify as a candidate for a peel. If you have healthy skin but want to take your skincare to the next level and improve its overall appearance, you are most likely a candidate for a peel.

Before your treatment, you will be able to consult with one of our skincare experts who will help determine your skin type. Then, we will help determine which of our peels is best for your needs and will develop a customized treatment plan for your skin so that you can experience all of the benefits that our peels have to offer.

If you think that Botox is the only product on the market that can effectively and temporarily erase your fine lines and wrinkles, think again. Xeomin an equally effective neurotoxin that targets dynamic wrinkles and temporarily erases them, replacing them with smooth, youthful skin. If you have dynamic wrinkles that you are tired of living with, contact our experts at A Younger You Medical Spa in Burlington, WI, and schedule your initial consultation.

How Long Does It Take to See Results From Xeomin?

If you don’t see results immediately after your appointment, you can rest assured that this is normal and you will get the results you are looking for. Your results will show up but may take a little time to show their full effect. You will begin to notice your wrinkles starting to fade within three to four days after treatment, and complete results will be visible by 30 days.

What Is Xeomin?

Xeomin is an injectable neurotoxin, similar to Botox, that works to reduce wrinkles. It is different from a filler because instead of adding volume to areas with volume loss, it specifically targets dynamic wrinkles that develop from the repetitive movement of facial muscles. If you’re seeking volume, a filler will add it. If you want control over dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated expressions, Xeomin will give you exactly what you’re looking for.

How Does It Work?

When injected into the muscle, this neurotoxin temporarily freezes the muscles so that it cannot contract. When the muscle cannot contract, those dynamic wrinkles fade until the effect wears off, approximately four months later. Then, you can simply return for a maintenance appointment when you start to notice that your effects are wearing off and since again, you will be wrinkle-free.

What Does It Treat?

Xeomin only treats the dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive facial expressions. It will not add volume, but instead, it will address the source of your wrinkles, the muscle, and freeze it so that it can temporarily no longer contract. It can be injected into the muscles of the face that are constantly moving and expressing to create wrinkles. These areas include:

• Forehead lines and wrinkles
• Lines between the eyes
• Smile lines
• Crow’s feet
• Bunny lines

What Happens During a Treatment?

The entire treatment takes anywhere from ten to thirty minutes, depending on how many areas you choose for injections. Your injector will use an ultra-fine needle to administer the injectable into the muscles causing the wrinkles. Once your desired problem areas are injected, your treatment will be complete and you will be on your way to smooth, wrinkle-free skin.

How Long Does It Last?

Unlike the facial stickers that temporarily smooth your fine lines and wrinkles, the effects of Xeomin last much longer. Following your treatment, you will enjoy freedom from seeing your wrinkles every day for as long as four months, depending on how soon your body metabolizes the product. Scheduling regular maintenance appointments is the best way to avoid the complete return of your wrinkles. Doing so will allow you to enjoy freedom from your wrinkles, uninterrupted.

What Are the Benefits of This Injectable?

It Erases Wrinkles

The main benefit of this treatment is that it temporarily erases dynamic wrinkles. You won’t see them anymore, and they won’t define your appearance. You won’t have to waste money on wrinkle creams that may or may not help your skin, but instead, you will be investing in a treatment whose results are proven and guaranteed to work and erase your wrinkles.

It Is Long-Lasting

Compared to other beauty treatments, creams, and at-home anti-aging treatments, this injectable surpasses them all when it comes to providing a long-lasting solution to dynamic wrinkles. Results will last as long as four months, but you are in control of your maintenance appointments. If you start to see results fading sooner than four months, we can help set up the best treatment plan and schedule your maintenance appointments based on your needs.

Your face and hands are some of the first areas on your body to show the negative signs of age. As you get older, you will develop folds and creases around your mouth and nose. You will also lose volume in your hands. Fortunately, Radiesse can smooth your wrinkles and add volume to your hands. To learn more about this fantastic injectable product, contact us at A Younger You Medical Spa in Burlington, Wisconsin.

Is Radiesse Good for Nasolabial Folds?

Nasolabial folds are wrinkles that run from the sides of your nose to the corners of your mouth. Although these wrinkles are very normal, they can make you look tired, sad, or upset. Radiesse is an excellent way to address nasolabial folds.

This injectable product will minimize the appearance of these wrinkles by adding volume to your face. Once you achieve the full benefits of your treatment, your skin will be smoother and your nasolabial folds will be less visible.

How Does This Dermal Filler Work?

This dermal filler is made of a gel that contains very small calcium-based microspheres. These microspheres are biocompatible, so you will not need allergy testing before your treatment. Once we administer the product into your target area, it will quickly add volume to your skin. This added volume will minimize the appearance of your wrinkles.

Over time, the microspheres in the product will encourage your body to make additional collagen. Collagen is a fibrous protein that gives your skin structure. By increasing your collagen levels, this dermal filler will make your skin look more youthful.

What Areas Can This Dermal Filler Treat?

As discussed above, this dermal filler is great at minimizing nasolabial folds that run between your mouth and nose. In addition to improving these lines, this filler can minimize the appearance of several other types of wrinkles and imperfections on your face.

For instance, this treatment is great at minimizing marionette lines that appear near the corners of your mouth. Further, this treatment can address sagging skin on your cheeks and jawline. We can also use this treatment to restore lost volume to your hands.

What Is the Injection Process Like?

Your appointment will be personalized to fit your goals, the severity of your wrinkles, and the areas that you want to improve. That said, this is a minimally invasive treatment that usually takes about twenty to forty minutes to administer.

To ensure that you are comfortable during the injection process, we will add a gentle anesthetic to your injectable solution. We will also give you ice packs to hold against your skin.

What Will My Recovery Process Be Like?

This dermal filler is sometimes called a lunch break treatment. Since your recovery time will be minimal, you can get your injections during your lunch break. You can drive yourself back to your office after your appointment is complete.

That said, you should follow a few easy rules for the next twenty-four hours. For instance, you should not massage your treatment area or wear makeup. Further, you should not expose your skin to strong sunlight or heat.

Is This Dermal Filler Safe?

The FDA has approved this dermal filler for the purpose of addressing moderate-to-severe facial wrinkles. It is also approved for the purpose of correcting volume loss on the back of the hands. We have extensive experience using this product, and we will administer your injections in a precise manner.

Am I a Suitable Candidate for This Dermal Filler?

If you are an adult who has aging hands or moderate-to-severe wrinkles on your face, you are likely to be a suitable candidate for this dermal filler. Further, if you have thicker skin, you are likely to have a good response to this treatment.

Although this is a minimally invasive treatment, it’s not right for everyone. If you have thin skin, we may advise you to use a different dermal filler. Further, you cannot use this treatment if you are allergic to any of the ingredients in the product or if you have a history of severe allergies.

How Long Will My Results Last?

Since your treatment will be customized, your individual results will vary. That said, this dermal filler is likely to last for a longer period of time than many other injectable products. In fact, your improvements may last for up to fifteen months. To preserve the benefits of this product, you should eat a balanced diet, drink plenty of water, and wear a strong sunscreen when you go outside.

You can receive touch-up injections once the effects of your initial treatment begin to wear off. We will provide you with more details about your maintenance plan during your initial meeting with us.

Does This Dermal Filler Really Work?

This product is very effective. In a scientific study, ninety-eight percent of people who received this treatment in their hands had significant improvements after three months. Eighty-six percent of these people still had improvements after a year. Further, people who received Radiesse in clinical studies were more satisfied with their improvements than people who used other dermal fillers.

Try It for Yourself

You can rejuvenate your face and hands with Radiesse. This excellent dermal filler usually takes less than an hour to administer, and your results may last for over a year.

Over time, we may grow less fond of our body art and may consider making a change. While the idea of tattoos is that they are permanent additions to your skin, we’ve learned new ways of making them disappear. There are several ways to go through the tattoo removal process, but which one stands out? A Younger You Medical Spa in Burlington, WI excels at tattoo removal, so visit us and let us educate you on some of the pros and cons of various tattoo removal techniques.

What Is Tattoo Removal?

The idea of removing tattoos has been around a long time, about the same time that tattoos have been around. In that time, various means have been applied for removing body ink. As time has gone on, our tools have only improved, making the process of removing permanent tattoos all the more effective. There are now four main ways a tattoo can be permanently removed.

Dermabrasion

Dermabrasion is a method that involves the actual removal of the inked area. By using a special tool, the top layers of skin that contain all of the ink particles are taken off. After all inked layers are removed, the tattoo is completely gone.

The process is basic, but it may take a few sessions to remove the extra layers of ink if the tattoos are particularly complex or deep. Upon completion of this mild procedure, hygiene is a priority, as you will need to clean and disinfect the affected area often.

Chemical Peels

Another tattoo removal process that many people have considered is using a special acid that allows for the inked area to be broken down until it’s depleted. The chemical is known as Trichloroacetic acid, or TCA. It’s a mild acid that is typically used as a chemical peel that removes the top layers of skin but has in the past also been used for the removal of unwanted tattoos. Just like with dermabrasion, the area that was treated requires mild care with soap and water until completely healed.

Removal via Excision

Are you someone who wants your tattoo removed in a timely fashion? A minor procedure is an option to quickly remove any trace of ink within your skin. Typically, this process is reserved for more minor tattoos in smaller sizes as larger tattoo removal using this method isn’t as practical. This process of removing tattoos isn’t as commonly used as others, but it is a potential possibility. Just like the others, this one requires you to take care of the location of the procedure.

Laser Removal

Perhaps the most commonly used method of removing unwanted tattoos, and the one you’ve likely heard about in the past, is laser removal. A laser simply breaks down the ink particles, allowing them to be removed naturally by your body. The laser, instead of breaking through the skin, applies a reasonable amount of pressure-inducing energy to the tattooed area in order to break down the ink particles.

Your immune system, which is programmed to handle small particles of foreign substances by flushing them out of your body, will do the rest of the work. While it typically takes multiple sessions to fully remove a tattoo, it’s also the least intrusive and most effective way to remove ink particles.

What Is the Most Effective Way to Remove Tattoos?

Laser removal is by far the most often used method of tattoo removal and there’s a valid reason for that. It’s considered the most successful way to remove tattoos and is also minimally invasive and non-surgical. Your laser removal session won’t take long at all, but you will probably need multiple sessions to fully remove the embedded ink, depending on a few different variables:

• Size of tattoo
• Type of ink used in tattoo
• Location of tattoo
• Your own health and lifestyle

If you’ve previously attempted to remove the tattoo via laser or some other means, we still may be able to help you fully remove what’s left. Just stop by our office and we’ll be happy to take a look and see what we can do to help you.

The Pros of Laser Removal

Minimal to No Scarring

Other methods to remove tattoos often leave behind minor scars from the procedure. Since laser removal is minimally invasive and non-surgical, you won’t experience much scarring — if any at all. The laser itself is designed to have minimal impact on your skin cells, not leaving behind much trace that any procedure was ever done.

It’s Completely Safe

While the potential for danger is really low with most methods of removing a tattoo, it’s essentially non-existent with laser removal. Those who have undergone laser removal note that the process requires minimum care and that recovery is fast.

Can Remove Entire Tattoos

Laser removal is very effective at removing either specific areas or entire regions where tattoos have covered. It does so with great precision, allowing for efficiently focused beams to completely remove any ink. Whether it’s a small tattoo or a large one, the laser removes the tattoo with great sufficiency.

How a Hydrafacial Works: The Five-Step Process

Let’s delve into the process of how a hydrafacial will truly give you your best complexion and softest skin. Thankfully, the process of becoming the new you with treatment is painless and fast-acting. You’ll be walking out of the building feeling like a brand new you after a few simple steps of treatment have been enacted. Just so you know, it’s important before treatment to wash the area being treated and remove any makeup.

Step 1: Vortex-Exfoliation™

To begin your treatment, we use Activ- 4™ serum to provide vortex exfoliation. When this serum is rubbed into the face, it removes dead skin cells from the skin to cleanse the skin and prepare it for the next phases of treatment. This process makes it possible for the next phases of hydrafacial treatment to be used on the newest clean layer of skin.

Step 2: Vortex-Peel™

After vortex exfoliation on the skin has been completed, a vortex peel is used. Glycolic and salicylic acids are mixed together to form a substance known as Glysal™ serum. The glysal serum is then applied all over the face to treat and rejuvenate the skin. After the glysal reacts to the skin, the dead skin is then peeled off to show the baby-soft skin underneath. The best part is a vortex peel treatment prevents scarring to the skin while providing the traditional benefits of a chemical peel.

Step 3: Vortex-Extraction™ 

During this process, Beta-HD™ serum is used with vortex suction to extract deeply embedded dirt and grime as well as remove any sort of bacteria from the pores. This provides the chance for clients’ clogged pores to open and breathe.

Step 4: Vortex-Fusion™

For the next process known as vortex fusion, Antiox+™ serum utilizes peptides, antioxidants, and hyaluronic acid to nourish, protect, and hydrate the client’s skin.

Step 5: Protect and Extend

For the final step of treatment, we encourage the client to used quality skin-care products at home following the treatment process to experience the maximum benefits of treatment.
