The popularity of Botox is undeniable. Once the public learned about the effectiveness of cosmetic Botox procedures, it quickly became one of the most common non-surgical treatments to smooth the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

At A Younger You Medical Spa, we offer Botox injections to reduce lines and wrinkles and restore a more youthful appearance to your skin. Our convenient Brookfield and Burlington, WI, offices serve Waukesha, Milwaukee, and New Berlin patients who want to look and feel their best.

Botox is a top-rated solution for reducing wrinkles and restoring the appearance of younger-looking skin. Our patients consistently return to Botox due to the treatment’s unexpected benefits.

What Is Botox?

Botox is an injectable treatment with the active ingredient Clostridium botulinum. Cosmetic Botox procedures block targeted nerves from communicating with specific muscles. As a result, the muscles stop making the facial expressions that form and deepen lines and wrinkles.

When Is Botox Recommended?

Cosmetic Botox procedures target dynamic wrinkles. Dynamic wrinkles develop through muscle movements, such as frowning or squinting. Although dynamic wrinkles initially clear when your facial expression relaxes, they eventually form static wrinkles that persist even when you’re no longer smiling, frowning, or squinting. 

While Botox can reduce the appearance of static wrinkles, dermal fillers are typically the better option for deeper lines and wrinkles.

7 Unexpected Benefits of Botox

While Botox has global renown as a skin rejuvenation treatment, its other benefits include its flexibility, simplicity, and effectiveness.

1. Botox Injections Are Highly Customizable

When you arrive for your Botox injections, we’ll discuss your most concerning facial lines and decide the best treatment areas for your needs. In addition, we’ll consult with you to determine how much or how little Botox you want, the level of movement you want to retain, and your ultimate aesthetic goals. 

By meeting with us, you can achieve the best results from your Botox injections while prioritizing your budgetary and overall needs.

2. Botox Also Prevents New Lines and Wrinkles

Patients seek Botox injections at younger ages, as the treatment proves to be a powerful tool in reducing the appearance of wrinkles and preventing new ones from forming. 

How does Botox prevent wrinkles? Unlike skeletal muscles that attach to the bones, facial muscles attach to your skin or other muscles. Therefore, the muscle movements in your face disrupt the skin’s dermis layer, which contains collagen and elastin. 

Years of movement in the face can cause cracks and creases to form in the collagen layer of the dermis, which appear on the skin’s surface as wrinkles. Since Botox pauses the movement of these muscles, it also stops deepening the cracks in the dermis, preventing current wrinkles from worsening and new ones from forming.

3. Botox Treatments Are Fast and Easy

After your initial consultation, you can expect your cosmetic Botox procedure to take about fifteen minutes or less. Botox injections use a thin, fine-tipped needle and don’t require an anesthetic, though some patients ask for a topical numbing cream before their treatment.

Once your injections are complete, you can leave immediately, and the entire treatment requires no downtime. You can return to work or other activities right away. 

4. Botox Is for Everyone

Many anti-aging treatments are limited by skin tone and type. However, Botox and other cosmetic injectables are effective for use on all shades of skin. 

Men and women, younger and older patients, and those of different skin types and tones can all benefit from Botox injections.

5. Botox Can Reduce Oil and Acne

Many patients end up fighting acne and wrinkles at the same time. Botox can serve as an impressive ally in both battles. Small amounts of Botox can reduce oil and sebum production and help reduce the size of pores.

We recommend patients have a pre-treatment facial before their Botox procedure to enhance the skin-clearing benefits of Botox. 

6. Botox Serves Many Functions

Botox isn’t just a treatment for reducing wrinkles; it’s also FDA-approved to treat muscle spasms, migraines, excessive sweating, and other common medical issues. Its versatility in treating various concerns allows patients to enjoy those benefits when injecting Botox for cosmetic use. 

For example, Botox’s ability to reduce excessive sweating means patients who use the treatment on their face for cosmetic purposes might also sweat less along their treatment area, allowing for longer-lasting makeup application. 

7. Botox Can Boost Your Mood

Evidence for Botox’s mood-boosting benefits comes from a process examined in The Journal of Nonverbal Behavior in 2018 called the facial feedback loop. 

The facial feedback loop is part of the mechanism of emotions. First, facial expressions send feedback to the brain, and then the brain receives this feedback and signals the hormones that affect your mood. 

When you’re depressed or angry, the muscles in the forehead that cause frown lines activate. Since Botox pauses the movement of those muscles, your brow will no longer furrow and stop sending messages to the brain.

Many patients who receive Botox report an improved mood while the treatment remains effective.

There are more options than ever to restore a youthful appearance to your skin. However, many patients who want to avoid invasive procedures don’t know enough about one of the most effective and accessible anti-aging treatments: dermal fillers.

As with most aesthetic treatments, patients achieve the best results from dermal filler injections when they are performed by skilled professionals who understand their goals. A Younger You Medical Spa is dedicated to helping all of our patients achieve optimal results from their dermal fillers. 

As a result, patients in Waukesha, Milwaukee, and New Berlin seek out our care at our Brookfield and Burlington, WI, offices.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are gel-like injectables approved by the FDA to smooth skin and restore volume. There are four main categories of dermal fillers, each defined by their primary active ingredient:

• Hyaluronic acid
• Calcium hydroxylapatite
• Poly-L-lactic acid
• Polymethyl-methacrylate

Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are the most popular, delivering dramatic results with no downtime. 

What’s the Difference Between Botox and Dermal Fillers?

Botox, Xeomin, and Dysport are neuromodulators, not dermal fillers. These injectable treatments stop communication between the nerves and the muscles in the treatment area so that the muscles move less and stop forming lines.

Neuromodulators work on dynamic wrinkles, which develop due to facial expressions. In contrast, dermal fillers offer skin rejuvenation by lifting and plumping the skin, filling lines and wrinkles while restoring volume. Dermal fillers treat static lines and wrinkles that remain on your face regardless of your expression.

How Do I Know Which Type of Dermal Filler I Need?

Choosing the best type of dermal filler to achieve your aesthetic goals requires an expert consultation with our team. For the most natural results, we may recommend using more than one type of filler or combining a dermal filler with a neuromodulator to meet your skin rejuvenation goals. 

Each dermal filler is formulated to target specific concerns, so understanding the difference in the types of dermal filler can help narrow down your options.

Hyaluronic Acid Fillers

Hyaluronic acid is a humectant the body naturally produces, so it’s already present in your skin and cartilage. These fillers use a bioidentical synthetic form of hyaluronic acid to keep skin looking hydrated, plump, and smooth. 

Dermal fillers made with hyaluronic acid reduce depressions in the skin from scars or lines and can improve the skin’s contour and volume. They are effective treatments for many skin concerns, including:

• Acne scars
• Nasolabial folds
• Marionette lines
• Glabellar lines
• Loss of cheek volume
• Redefining the lip border
• Smoker’s lines
• Worry lines across the forehead

The Restylane line of dermal fillers uses hyaluronic acid as its primary ingredient. Most of these fillers last between six and twelve months.

Calcium Hydroxylapatite Fillers

Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) is a mineral-like compound found in human bones. When CaHA is part of a dermal filler, the calcium particles are suspended in a thick gel. As the gel slowly dissolves in the skin, the microscopic calcium particles can stimulate collagen production for longer-lasting, natural-looking results.

CaHA fillers are biosynthetic, so they do not include animal products. They target more significant signs of aging, including:

• Moderate to severe nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and frown lines
• Loss of volume and contour to the face
• Facial wasting in patients taking certain medications

Radiesse is a premier CaHA-based filler. These fillers are longer-lasting, with results maintained for about a year to eighteen months. 

Poly-L-lactic Acid Filler

Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) filler is a biostimulatory filler whose primary purpose is to trigger the body’s natural collagen production. PLLA is biodegradable and nontoxic, and it has a 40-year history as a suture material. 

PLLA fillers are especially effective in treating the lower face and are a preferred treatment for filling laugh lines, plumping thinning lips, and smoothing deep nasolabial folds. By stimulating the body’s natural healing processes, PLLA fillers offer impressive, dramatic skin rejuvenation results.

Unlike other dermal fillers, PLLA doesn’t immediately plump and smooth skin. Since its primary function is to stimulate collagen production, results appear gradually. Patients who seek a more discreet treatment benefit from the slow restoration of their skin through PLLA fillers. 

Most patients require three treatments to achieve their desired results, which can take four to six weeks to appear. PLLA fillers are long-lasting, with results visible for over two years. We offer the only FDA-approved PLLA filler, Sculptra Aesthetic.

Polymethyl-Methacrylate Microsphere Fillers

Polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) microsphere fillers use a synthetic biocompatible substance that remains under the skin indefinitely. 

These fillers combine collagen with the microspheres to restore structure and fullness to the skin. They are often used to treat pitted-out scars and deeper wrinkles, such as nasolabial folds, or to add volume to thin lips.

Since PMMA fillers are long-lasting, we often underfill on the first treatment and add more as desired to help you achieve the best results. PMMA treatments are similar to PLLA, offering collagen stimulation benefits. However, PMMA fillers provide more immediate results. 

We offer Bellafill, the only FDA-approved PMMA filler for acne scars. Bellafill skin rejuvenation treatments can last up to five years.

Enjoy the Long-Lasting Skin Rejuvenation Benefits of Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are among the best options to restore aging skin’s smooth, plump, natural appearance while targeting multiple aesthetic concerns. At A Younger You Medical Spa, we customize each patient’s dermal filler injections to best achieve their aesthetic goals. 

If you’ve noticed your skin developing fine lines and wrinkles, losing volume and contour, or sagging, dermal fillers may be the best option for restoring your youthful skin. Our convenient Brookfield and Burlington, WI, offices offer a wide range of dermal fillers for patients in Waukesha, Milwaukee, and New Berlin.

The loss of elasticity in skin that comes with age is inevitable — but not irreversible. As skin loses the essential proteins collagen and elastin, it becomes looser, thinner, and more fragile. Surgery used to be the only treatment option for reversing skin laxity. However, now there are non-invasive ways to restore skin’s firm, youthful appearance.

A Younger You Medical Spa offers advanced skin tightening and renewal treatments. With two convenient locations in Brookfield and Burlington, WI, patients in Waukesha, Milwaukee, and New Berlin all have easy access to our premier medical spa treatments.

What Is Skin Tightening?

Most non-surgical skin tightening procedures stimulate the body’s production of collagen and elastin to gradually restore the skin’s tone, texture, firmness, and resilience. 

Many non-surgical skin tightening procedures are available, from injectables like Sculptra to laser treatments like Venus Concept. While each procedure uses a unique method to rejuvenate skin, they all target the same proteins: collagen and elastin.

How Do Collagen and Elastin Tighten Skin?

Collagen is found in the joints, bones, tendons, and skin. It keeps the skin firm and youthful by giving the skin’s deeper layers their structure and thickness. Elastin, another abundant protein in the skin, provides stretch and resilience. 

The skin’s dermis layer begins producing less collagen around age 20, with the amount of elastin and collagen in the skin declining by 1% each year. As these proteins decrease, skin becomes thinner and looser, so aging skin becomes wrinkled and sags. 

However, collagen production is part of the body’s natural healing response. Skin tightening procedures trick the body into believing the skin is damaged. The body then produces more collagen and elastin to heal it. As a result, skin becomes firmer, thicker, and more supple.

Can Dermal Fillers Tighten Skin?

Patients with mild to moderate skin laxity can restore a more youthful look and feel with hyaluronic acid and biostimulatory fillers. Both Restylane hyaluronic acid fillers and Sculptra Aesthetic injectable treatments are FDA-approved to smooth lines and restore firmness and volume to the skin.

Hyaluronic Acid Fillers

Injectable hyaluronic acid fillers reduce the appearance of lines, wrinkles, and creases and plump the skin. They can also restore definition and structure to the face so that your skin appears younger, smoother, and fuller. We offer the Restylane line of hyaluronic acid fillers for mild skin laxity. 

Biostimulatory Fillers

Biostimulatory fillers like Sculptra work in the skin’s deeper dermis layers to trigger collagen production, rebuild the skin’s inner structure, and restore volume. 

As the skin absorbs Sculptra’s microparticles, they stimulate the creation of collagen and elastin, filling in lines and wrinkles and restoring a more youthful, fuller look. 

Our patients love the long-lasting skin rejuvenation results of Sculptra injections for mild to moderate skin tightening.

Plasma Energy Skin Rejuvenating Treatments

The Plasma IQ skin pen is an FDA-cleared device that tightens mild skin sagging, smooths fine lines, and creates a tighter, smoother, younger-looking appearance. 

This minimally invasive treatment uses controlled plasma energy to create micro-injuries on the skin’s surface and stimulate the healing process, triggering collagen and elastin production to tighten and lift the skin.

Plasma IQ is a popular option for restoring drooping skin around the eyes, lips, neck, and décolletage and is best for mild skin laxity.

Skin Tightening Through Laser Skin Resurfacing

One of the most effective ways to tighten skin is through laser resurfacing. We offer the Venus Concept laser skin resurfacing tool for skin rejuvenation and tightening, restoring firmness and contouring without downtime or invasive procedures.

How Does the Venus Concept Work?

The Venus Concept features two functions to improve skin’s appearance and firmness. Through multipolar radiofrequency (RF) and magnetic pulses, this procedure achieves some of the best results for our patients who hope to restore a more youthful appearance. 

The multipolar RF methodology uses electrodes applied to the skin, which send an electrical current to stimulate collagen and elastin production, improve skin texture, and tighten skin laxity. 

Venus Concept’s multipolar applicator offers even energy distribution between the electrodes, with advanced features to help our patients feel comfortable throughout their treatment. 

Venus Concept also uses pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF). PEMF is a widely used therapeutic treatment that stimulates wound healing, bone growth, pain relief, and the regeneration of tissues like cartilage and tendons. 

By combining PEMF with the Venus Concept’s multipolar RF function, patients experience enhanced collagen production through the development of new dermal fibroblasts and blood cells. As a result, patients experience dramatic skin tightening and contouring results. 

Venus Concept is a popular choice to tighten the skin of the neck, jawline, abdomen, arms, and thighs, though it can be used almost anywhere on the body.

Skin Tightening Through Ultrasound Technology

Ultherapy is a groundbreaking ultrasound technology used to lift, firm, and rejuvenate your appearance. In addition, Ultherapy stimulates collagen production to restore strength, structure, and tightness to aging and sagging skin.

How Does Ultherapy Work?

Ultherapy delivers focused ultrasound energy into specific skin depths to stimulate collagen production and firm skin. 

The treatment is administered using a handheld device that sends ultrasound waves into the skin’s surface without incisions, needles, or downtime. Ultherapy is a popular choice for patients looking to restore the skin on their necks, under the chin, over the eyebrows, and on the décolletage. 

Ultherapy offers gradual but dramatic results. Patients will see tighter, firmer skin about two to three months after treatment.

Losing weight and toning your body may feel like an uphill battle. If you are looking for a non-surgical way to contour your body, CoolSculpting is for you! However, it is important to note that CoolSculpting treatments are not weight-loss treatments. These are two different processes that work in two completely different ways. While CoolSculpting is highly effective at helping you appear more toned, it works even better alongside a regular exercise routine and a healthy diet. 

At A Younger You Medical Spa in Brookfield, WI, you can expect honest and understandable information on CoolSculpting Elite. We will ensure that you have all the right facts before the procedure so you can be sure that the Coolsculpting treatment is for you. Read on if you would like to know more about the differences between CoolSculpting and weight loss.

What Happens When You Lose Weight?

To understand why CoolSculpting is not a substitute for weight loss, it is important to understand what each process involves and how it works. There are several ways to lose weight, like regular exercise, a healthy diet, and weight-loss surgery. All those methods have one thing in common: they shrink your fat cells. The more energy you burn, the smaller your fat cells become. These fat cells do not disappear completely. 

Contrary to common knowledge, the amount of fat you have is determined by your genes. Weight loss does not destroy or get rid of your fat cells. The amount of fat you have as a teenager is the same as when you are an adult. The cells simply increase in size with the lack of exercise and a healthy diet. You may gain weight as your fat cells increase, but you do not gain more fat cells. 

The extra body fat comes from food that is not used up. When you don’t use enough energy or eat more food than necessary, the excess fat gets stored in your fat cells, increasing their size. 

What is CoolSculpting Elite?

CoolSculpting Elite is a non-invasive body contouring procedure that can help you achieve your body goals. It is a process that helps with fat reduction with little to no downtime. It has been FDA-approved to treat 9 different areas of your body. Unlike regular CoolSculpting, CoolSculpting Elite makes use of two applicators that come in various shapes and sizes to improve the comfort of the patient. 

How Many Sessions Do You Need?

Most patients require two or more sessions to help them see the results. Each session can last between 35 minutes to 3 hours. 

What Areas Can Be Targeted?

CoolSculpting Elite can be used to target the following areas:

• Abdomen 
• Underarms
• Upper arms
• Above knees
• Beneath the chin
• Below the buttocks
• Flanks/love handles  
• Upper and lower back
• Inner and outer thighs

How Does CoolSculpting Elite Work?

CoolSculpting is a treatment that freezes fat cells in certain parts of your body. While the process cannot help you lose weight, it can eliminate up to 25% of fat cells. This treat is especially effective for stubborn fat. CoolSculpting is the brand name for a process known as cryolipolysis. 

Essentially, the CoolSculpting device cools your fat until it is destroyed, while leaving your skin unharmed. No needles or surgery is involved in the treatment, making it a non-invasive body contouring treatment. 

CoolSculpting is a permanent treatment. Once the fat cells are destroyed and eliminated, they do not accumulate again. This is especially useful for areas with persistent fat. 

What Happens During a CoolSculpting Procedure? 

During a CoolSculpting session, the device has two paddles that hold the part of your body that you want to be treated. The paddles become cold and are left in place for at least 35 minutes to freeze the fat cells. Your immune system will then get rid of the dead fat cells. You may not see the results immediately. Typically, results show after a few weeks or months. 

CoolSculpting VS Weight-Loss

These two processes cannot be compared fairly since they have different end results. When you make use of CoolSculpting treatments, you won’t shed pounds. However, you can expect a more toned and contoured physique. CoolSculpting is best paired with another weight-loss method, such as a balanced diet and exercise routine. In fact, most doctors will recommend losing weight before you start your CoolSculpting Elite treatment. 

CoolSculpting is helpful to remove areas with stubborn fat that is resistant to regular weight-loss routines. We understand that eating healthy and working out may not reach certain areas of your body. That is where we come in with effective CoolSculpting Elite treatments. 

The Benefits of CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting has a wide variety of benefits to consider. While the sessions can be pricey, the results are worth it. 

The Effects Are Permanent

Since the CoolSculpting treatment destroys the fat cell, it is a treatment with permanent effects. While you are still encouraged to keep up with your regular healthy lifestyle, you can be sure that those fat cells are gone for good once they have been eliminated. 

No Downtime

CoolSculpting is a non-invasive body contouring treatment, which means that there are no needles or surgery. You will not need anesthetic to undergo the procedure. While there may be slight redness, swelling, or numbness, there is no downtime.

High-Quality Coolsculpting Treatment in Brookfield and Burlington, WI

The bottom line is that CoolSculpting is mainly for people who have reached or are close to reaching their ideal weight but need help with certain areas that aren’t being affected by their exercise and diet.

Finding the right type of spa may prove to be more difficult than it seems, especially when deciding between a medical spa and a day spa. A medical spa, as well as a day spa, offer many different treatments and procedures that are beneficial to your health. A Younger You Medical Spa in Brookfield, WI is here to help you decide which is better for you and what you want to achieve. 

What is a Day Spa?

The main focus of a day spa is to provide services that benefit personal care, relaxation, and non-invasive treatments. Services that are most likely to be provided by a day spa will include:

• Facials 
• Manicures
• Pedicures
• Eyelash extensions
• Massages 
• Mud wraps 
• Waxing

A day spa is more of a treat than a treatment, and although we need some TLC now and then, the results are not permanent. 

What is a Medical Spa? 

A medical spa, on the other hand, focuses more on treating skin, hair, and body conditions rather than providing temporary comfort. A medical spa also provides various medical procedures that are carefully designed to improve your hair, skin, and even your metabolic processes. In many ways, the treatments and procedures that are carried out at a medical spa have long-term effects and in some cases, even permanent effects. 

A significant difference between a medical spa and a day spa is who supervises and carries out the. People that work at a day spa are normally categorized as estheticians, cosmetologists, nail technicians, or massage therapists. 

A medical spa, on the other hand, requires a physician that can oversee or even perform procedures and treatments. Even if a physician is not carrying out the procedure, a registered nurse or a nurse practitioner will ensure that everything goes well. This means that a medical professional will always be in charge of your treatment. 

The Benefits of a Medical Spa 

Unlike a day spa that requires little or no medical experience, one of the medical spa services is an analysis of your current skin condition. We dig deeper into the cause of your condition while narrowing down the right treatment for you. This increases the chance of success of the treatment or procedure that you undergo. 

By using high-resolution imaging to do this analysis, we can address your skin concerns and find effective solutions. As an added benefit of using a medical spa, a follow-up session may be necessary to track the progress of your treatment plan. 

What Treatments Does a Medical Spa Offer? 

More often than not, the treatments that a medical spa offers are cosmetic in nature and designed to enhance your well-being. Medical spas also offer regular spa treatments to complement these medical spa treatments. These standard treatments aid in the recovery of medical procedures, make your recovery process more comfortable, and may even shorten the recovery period. 

Medical spas can also offer cosmeceutical treatment, which is a class of skincare products that contain more biologically active ingredients that are capable of making changes to your skin. These treatments will not only make your skin look better temporarily but can create changes in the skin altogether. 

Treatments Offered at A Medical Spa 

Treatments that are offered at a medical spa can range from simple and relatively quick Botox injections to more drastic procedures such as plastic surgery. Here are some of the many medical spa services we offer: 

Chemical Peels 

Used to improve the appearance of your hands, neck, and face, a chemical peel is a technique in which a chemical solution is applied to the skin that needs treatment, which causes the skin to exfoliate and peep off. This promotes new skin cell generation, which creates smoother and less wrinkled skin. 

Microdermabrasion 

Microdermabrasion is a skin rejuvenation treatment. It is used to exfoliate the skin. It also treats light scarring, sun damage, stretch marks, and discoloration. The process includes the use of a small abrasive instrument that gently sands your skin to remove the thicker, more uneven outer layer of skin. 

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) 

When having an intense pulsed lighting treatment, a handheld instrument called a flashgun is passed over your skin using light energy to target hair or skin tissue. This treatment is used to remove unwanted hair and treat skin conditions. Many variations of this treatment can also be identified as skin rejuvenation, laser resurfacing, or photorejuvenation. 

HydraFacials 

HydraFacials are well-known for their effective three-step process. The first step is a deep cleaning of the area that is being treated, the second step exfoliates the skin, and the third step rehydrates the skin. Skin conditions such as wrinkles, dry skin, and acne are some of the conditions that can be successfully treated with HydraFacials. This non-invasive procedure is similar to a standard facial treatment that is given in a day spa but can have more dramatic results. 

Laser Hair Removal 

Laser hair removal is done by an experienced medical professional. The procedure includes targeted pulses of light and energy. Just as sunlight may be attracted to darker clothing, the energy of the laser is attracted to the hair we wish to remove. 

Is A Med Spa Right for You? 

A med spa could be just what you are looking for. A Younger You Medical Spa offers a range of medical treatments that can be beneficial to your skin, hair, and body. If you are searching for non-surgical cosmetic procedures, a medical spa may be the solution for you. Contact us to find out more about the medical spa treatments we offer in, Burlington, Waukesha, Milwaukee, and New Berlin.

Acne is a condition of the skin that is a result of hair follicles getting clogged up with dead skin cells and oil. This skin condition is most commonly found among teenagers. However, it can occur in people of all ages. With regard to available treatments and possible causes, adult acne has many similarities to adolescent acne. 

At A Younger You Medical Spa, we offer many options for not only acne skin treatments, but also skin treatments for acne scars, which are caused by inflammation of the acne blemishes. 

The Best Skin Rejuvenation Treatments for Acne 

There are many types of effective treatments that can help with acne. Knowing more about each treatment can assist you in finding the one that will help reduce acne and scarring on your skin. 

Chemical peel 

A chemical peel is intended to remove the outermost layer of your skin. Doing so improves the texture and smoothness while removing scars. This process allows the dead skin cells to shed more rapidly, keeping your hair follicles from clogging. 

You can choose a chemical peel at one of three depths, depending on your skin condition. Acne is treated with a light chemical peel that may cause minor skin flaking, skin irritation, redness, and stinging. However, after repeated treatments, these side effects will most likely disappear. 

The results of a light chemical peel are initially subtle but will increase over repeated treatments. While deep chemical peels happen once and require an extended healing process, a light chemical peel can be done several times over a few weeks. Applying a protective ointment, such as petroleum jelly, is recommended after the treatment to soothe your skin. 

Intense Pulse Lighting 

Intense pulse lighting is a great skin rejuvenation process. It uses light energy to remove damaged or pigmented skin cells or hair follicles that cause acne. This process heats the skin cells and breaks them down, leaving them for your body to remove naturally. 

We all have different skin types and medical histories. Therefore, side effects of IPL may include swelling, bleeding, and blistering, but may not occur for each individual. While considering Intense Pulse Lighting as a treatment for acne, you will need about six sessions to really notice a difference in your skin. 

After you have had the treatment, you may get the same sensation on your skin as you would experience when having sunburn for about 4-6 hours. A cool cloth or even an ice pack can give you relief from this feeling. Your skin may also experience redness or bruising for a day or so, and some brown spots may darken but peel off within a couple of weeks. 

The use of makeup is not recommended if your skin hurts. However, using a moisturizing lotion should soothe any discomfort that you may feel. Also, by using an SPF 30 sunscreen your skin will have effective protection. 

Microdermabrasion 

Microdermabrasion is a procedure that is non-invasive and gentle. This acne skin treatment exfoliates by removing the outermost layer of skin. It is effective for mild cases of acne by reducing oil buildup and unclogging pores. This treatment can also help with acne-scarred skin rejuvenation. 

For most people of different skin tones and types, microdermabrasion is one of the safest acne treatments. Because it only impacts the top layer of skin, the side effects experienced are short and relatively mild. Side effects may include swelling, bruising, tenderness, redness, and colored spots that should subside or fade within a few hours of the procedure being done. 

Proper care must be taken after this acne treatment has been done to ensure that the skin heals properly and that you continue to keep your skin in good condition. Avoid using any harsh cosmetics or acne products for 24 hours after treatment, and add an effective moisturizer to your regular skincare routine. You should also avoid direct sunlight for 48 hours, as microdermabrasion leaves skin prone to sun damage. In addition, an excessive amount of sunscreen should be used when exposed to sunlight for the following three weeks after the procedure. 

Microneedling 

Microneedling can be used for acne treatment. It is the process of tiny needles poking into the affected area of the skin to stimulate the production of collagen. Microneedling can also assist in the skin treatment of acne scars by promoting the growth of new skin cells. It is not only useful for acne treatments but also for acne prevention. By reducing the production of sebum, which makes your skin oily, it stops acne from forming. You may need a series of treatments depending on the severity of your acne. However, scars left behind will become less noticeable as new skin cells replace old ones. Drinking an above-average amount of water before the treatment of microneedling can lower your chances of skin bruising and swelling. 

Side effects are normal in most cases. They include slight redness, swelling, bruising, dryness, and irritation of the skin in the treated area. 

Proper after-care includes avoiding excessive exposure to sunlight, over-strenuous physical activity, and not using any skin products that contain alcohol. Side effects should clear up in a couple of days after the procedure.

Did you know that there are several body sculpting options that don’t involve surgery? With minimally invasive, non-surgical body contouring, you won’t have to deal with the intrusion, discomfort, or expense that traditional surgical procedures can bring. You also won’t have a long period of recovery time. 

At A Younger You Medical Spa, we are proud to offer this type of treatment to our patients. Does non-surgical body contouring work? The results speak for themselves! CoolSculpting Elite is one of the most effective fat reduction treatments available, and our patients rave about their experiences with it.

CoolSculpting Elite Body Contouring Without Surgery

Many of our patients who come to us looking for body contouring treatment do so because they have areas on their bodies that don’t respond to diet or exercise. They’re in good overall physical health and just have stubborn pockets of fat that will not budge, no matter what they do.

This is where non-surgical body contouring treatments like CoolSculpting Elite come in. CoolSculpting Elite is non-invasive, safe, and best of all, it really works. This solution targets fat cells and destroys them permanently. The cells are frozen and eliminated, never to return.

For our patients who have tried hours of workout routines to get rid of the fat, or for those who don’t have the time to, this body sculpting treatment is often the answer they’ve been waiting for. If you’ve heard in the past that once fat cells appear on the body, they will never go away, you should know that that’s no longer true.

How Does Non-Surgical Body Contouring Work with CoolSculpting Elite?

This fat reduction treatment is approved by the FDA to target fat cells and sculpt areas of the body. When cells are frozen with the CoolSculpting Elite device, they die and are gradually metabolized by the body naturally, then eliminated. 

Does non-surgical body contouring work? Yes! It targets fat cells under the skin and treats them without damaging the skin. This revolutionary treatment also won’t damage any other tissues around the treatment area. 

This kind of selective fat cell-freezing can reduce fat deposits in a treatment area by up to 25% in as little as one treatment session.

CoolSculpting was invented after two scientists from Harvard University noticed that children who frequently ate popsicles ended up developing dimples in their cheeks — areas where fat deposits had been reduced so much that it resulted in a “contouring” of those areas of the cheeks.

The scientists concluded that the frosty temperature of the popsicles froze the fat cells in the cheeks, destroying them and leading to their elimination by the body. The scientists also noted that although the fat had been destroyed, the other tissue and skin in the cheeks of the children weren’t harmed in any way. 

The result of these findings became the foundation of cryolipolysis, the freezing of fat that is now the power behind CoolSculpting.

What Areas Can Non-Surgical Body Contouring Treatment Target?

CoolSculpting Elite offers a wide variety of treatment options and benefits for our patients with areas of stubborn fat. Some of the areas we treat most often include:

• The hips 
• The upper thighs
• The abdomen
• The back
• Under the chin
• The upper arms
• Love handles

It’s important to understand that this is not a solution for people who are struggling with obesity. It’s not designed to be a generalized, overall weight loss solution. 

Alternatively, people who have stubborn pockets of fat in specific little areas and don’t want to undergo liposuction can get great results with non-surgical body contouring treatment.

What Are Treatment Sessions Like?

When you arrive for your CoolSculpting appointment, we’ll take you back to our treatment room, where you can sit back and relax. We’ll set up the treatment, and use a handheld device to gently target the treatment area. 

You will feel a cooling sensation on your skin, but that’s it. There is no invasive procedure, in-depth preparation, or downtime required after treatment, so you’ll be able to go right back to your normal day after you leave your appointment.  

Results: What to Expect After Treatment

Results vary from one patient to another; however, most patients notice improvements in as few as three weeks after their initial treatment. The most noticeable results are visible after about eight weeks post-treatment. 

The fat cells in the treated area continue to die off and be eliminated by the body for up to six months following a treatment. The end result is a more sculpted body for you to enjoy.

Why Choose CoolSculpting Elite Non-Surgical Body Contouring?

There are many reasons why our patients keep returning for this treatment on a variety of areas of the body that they want to tone and sculpt. Some of the most common benefits of CoolSculpting Elite are:

• The ability for patients to pick and choose areas they want to target
• The results are long-lasting
• The costs are lower than for surgical procedures
• It’s 100% non-invasive and non-surgical
• There is no downtime or recovery required

If you have areas of the body with pockets of fat that won’t go away despite following a healthy diet and exercise regimen, our non-surgical body contouring treatment may be ideal for you. 

We have locations in Brookfield and Burlington, WI, and we serve patients from Waukesha to Milwaukee and New Berlin, in addition to all of the surrounding areas.

Plasma IQ is a revolutionary device that delivers rejuvenating treatment to the skin using focused energy. It’s one of just two such devices that have been cleared by the FDA for this purpose. 

In fact, Plasma IQ is also the first FDA Class II handheld plasma device. Unlike many other skin rejuvenation products, the Plasma IQ device takes a holistic approach to treatment by working with the body’s natural processes. A Younger You Medical Spa is proud to offer Plasma IQ treatment at our locations.

What Does Plasma IQ Treat?

The general purpose of this skin rejuvenation treatment is to revitalize and tighten skin, ultimately giving it a more youthful appearance. The device uses microbeams of focused energy in a quick and minimally invasive procedure. Some of the conditions Plasma IQ treats include:

• Wrinkles and fine lines
• Scarring
• Stretch marks
• Moles and skin tags
• Warts
• Acne
• Crow’s feet
• Under-eye bags
• Marionette lines

In addition, it’s often used as an eyelid wrinkle treatment, as it can tighten the skin around the eyes. Since the device uses controlled energy, we can treat the more delicate and smaller areas of the skin, including the lips, around the eyes, the décolletage, and the neck. 

This treatment is also effective in treating hemangiomas, hooded eyelids, skin on the legs and knees, and other skin concerns.

How Does Plasma IQ Work?

This skin tightening treatment works by introducing ionized nitrogen gas between the skin’s surface and the tip of the handheld device, which effectively and safely causes micro-injuries to the skin. 

When the nitrogen gas particles are ionized, they create a plasma arc, which looks like a spark. This process triggers the body’s natural healing responses, which include increased production of elastin and collagen. 

This highly customizable treatment leverages the microbeams of plasma energy by causing sublimation in the outer layer of the skin. The specialized procedure results in immediate retraction and skin tightening in the treatment area. 

The plasma energy also penetrates the deeper dermal layer of the skin, which is the layer that contains fibroblasts. These fibroblasts are what produce collagen and elastin. The results of a Plasma IQ treatment are often immediate and get even better with time. The final results are usually visible three to six weeks after treatment.

Because the device delivers such a precise, controlled energy beam, skin tissue around the treatment area is not harmed. This reduces downtime and improves the healing process for our patients. 

The body’s natural healing response promotes smoothing and firming as the fibroblasts continue to improve the skin, delivering visible results that last a long time.

Plasma IQ Treatment: What to Expect

Once you arrive for your treatment, we’ll take you to the treatment area and make sure you’re comfortable. We’ll apply a numbing agent to your skin at the treatment area to make sure you stay comfortable throughout the procedure. 

We can perform Plasma IQ treatments in our office in about 30 minutes. The exact time of your treatment sessions will depend on how many areas you are treating, how large your treatment area is, and the aesthetic goals you want to achieve. 

There are two levels of plasma energy that we can use to deliver powerful, safe treatment for a wide variety of indications and areas. The precise amount of energy for your treatments will be either high (950V) or low (650V).

As mentioned, immediate results are possible, especially if the goal is skin tightening. Some patients may need to come back for subsequent treatments, depending on their precise aesthetic goals. 

While most patients who undergo this treatment can expect to enjoy their results for one to three years, depending on the nature of the conditions treated, you may or may not need intermittent treatments to maintain your results.

Downtime is minimal or non-existent, so you won’t need to arrange your schedule to take significant time off work or postpone all of your social engagements.

Plasma IQ Treatment for Your Skin

Even though the microbeams of energy used during treatment are powerful, the treatment itself is minimally invasive and quick to complete. Whether you want to remove a mole, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, or improve your skin’s texture, you’ll find that the Plasma IQ device provides additional benefits as well.

This FDA-cleared aesthetic treatment doesn’t just rejuvenate the surface of the skin, it rejuvenates the skin from deep below the surface, which produces long-lasting results. 

The texture and smoothness of the skin should improve, which contributes to its overall natural glow. The fibroblasts continue working and healing skin tissue over the three months following treatment.

Are You a Candidate for Plasma IQ Skin Treatments?

Most patients make great candidates for Plasma IQ skin treatments. The best candidates are those people who are in good overall health and have realistic expectations for treatment. 

If you’re interested in addressing any of the wide variety of skin concerns that Plasma IQ can treat and you prefer a non-surgical approach to skin rejuvenation, this treatment may be the ideal solution for you.

There are many skin concerns that might make a person uneasy about their appearance. Common concerns include acne or dynamic wrinkles and fine lines, which many people have experienced at some point in their lives.

At A Younger You Medical Spa, we know how much it means to our clients to have access to treatments and solutions that repair and revitalize their skin. One of our most popular treatments to do exactly that is fractional resurfacing therapy.

What Is Fractional Resurfacing?

We offer fractional resurfacing treatment with Venus Concept technology to fight acne scarring and signs of aging. It’s a preferred treatment for many of our patients who want a non-invasive way to fight lines and wrinkles and diminish acne scars.  

Fractional resurfacing is just one of several cutting-edge skin rejuvenation treatments we offer to help patients feel great in the skin they have. 

Fractional resurfacing for acne scars also is used to retexturize the skin and improve common signs of aging, including:

• Sun damage and dark spots
• Areas of excessive pigmentation, like liver spots
• Dull skin
• Uneven skin tone
• Wrinkles
• Fine lines
• Scars from surgery or an injury

Fractional resurfacing is non-invasive, so there’s no long, drawn-out recovery or IV anesthesia associated with it. In addition, there’s no prep work to do. 

What Is the Fractional Resurfacing Treatment Like?

When you come in to visit us for your treatment appointment, we’ll take you back and get you situated so that you’re comfortable. Then, if you like, we’ll apply a topical anesthetic to the skin to maximize your comfort.

Using a state-of-the-art handheld device, we quickly make passes over the skin in the area you want to treat. The device emits treatment-giving pulses, each of which lasts for less than one second. If you have larger skin flaws, several passes with the resurfacing device might be necessary for effective treatment.

How Does the Treatment Work to Improve Skin?

During a fractional resurfacing treatment for acne scars, wrinkles, lines, or dark spots, pulses of radiofrequency energy are absorbed by the skin. The body converts the energy into heat, which breaks down skin cells that are damaged, over-pigmented, or causing wrinkles and creases.

This heat stimulates the body to increase its natural production of collagen, which is responsible for the creation of healthy wrinkle- and scar-free skin. The old skin cells are replaced with new, healthy ones to give your skin a fresh, youthful look. 

There is little to no downtime for recovery required after your fractional resurfacing treatment with Venus Concept technology. Your short recovery time depends on the extent of the treatment you are receiving, how large of an area will be treated, how many passes are required, and how many areas are treated. 

Many of our patients leave our office with revitalized skin and return to their normal daily routines.

Are You a Good Candidate for Fractional Resurfacing Treatments?

If you are interested in learning more about these skin rejuvenation treatments and whether they’re right for you, contact us today. 

You are likely a good candidate for this skin therapy if you:

• Do not have an infection or active lesion or injury at the site to be treated
• Are in need of a non-invasive way to improve signs of aging
• Have acne scars you want to diminish
• Have dark spots from sun damage or aging
• Do not have any conditions that affect your body’s ability to heal
• Do not have a history of excessive scarring

This popular treatment is precise, so we can treat specific locations on the skin without causing any damage to nearby skin cells. This allows us to address common skin flaws on the face as well as almost any other area of the body. 

Some of the most popular areas of the body that our patients have treated with fractional resurfacing therapy include:

• Wrinkles around the eyes
• Lines around the mouth
• Stretch marks on the abdominal area
• Textural irregularities on the arms or legs
• Acne scars on the face and back
• Surgical scars on the legs or abdomen

Regardless of where on the body you would like to get treatment, the best place to start is with a free personal consultation with us. During this consultation, we’ll learn about you and your concerns, as well as your goals for treatment.

Most people are familiar with the struggle of maintaining smooth, hair-free skin. You have probably spent many hours shaving, waxing, or applying hair removal creams to keep your body hair-free. This adds up to a lot of money and time spent over the years. 

With laser hair removal treatments, you won’t have to worry about these methods anymore. Our laser hair removal procedure removes unwanted body hair so you can enjoy soft, smooth skin. 

How Laser Hair Removal Works

Lasers generate pulses of energy to remove unwanted body hair. The laser is attracted to the dark hair on your body, leaving the rest of your skin untouched. These pulses of energy interfere with your hair follicles, preventing them from growing new hair. 

It usually takes a few sessions before your body stops growing hair completely. Laser energy eventually blocks off your hair follicles, preventing any further body hair growth. This is what makes laser hair removal treatments effective and long-lasting. You won’t have to worry about shaving or other temporary hair removal methods again. 

Repeated Treatment Sessions 

To ensure that your hair removal is long-lasting, you will need multiple laser hair removal sessions. For three weeks after each session, your body hair will start to fall out. This is normal and a sign that the laser hair removal procedure is working. 

The number of sessions you will need depends on your hair type, the health of your hair follicles, and your body’s response to the laser. 

We will personalize your treatment plan when you come in for a consultation. Each patient receives a custom plan to effectively remove all unwanted body hair. In general, most patients need between three and seven laser hair removal treatments to see the best results. 

What to Expect During the Laser Hair Removal Procedure 

You might be wondering what laser hair removal treatments feel like. This is a common question we get about the procedure. Laser hair removal can be compared to the feeling of a rubber band lightly snapping against your skin. These feelings are typically well-tolerated by patients, and the results are well worth it. 

The laser does not damage the surrounding skin. This means only your hair follicles will be impacted by the laser hair removal procedure. Most patients report that they were comfortable and relaxed during their treatment sessions. 

You can return to normal daily tasks and activities with no restrictions immediately after your laser hair removal procedure. There is no downtime required after this treatment. 

Laser Hair Removal Treatment Areas

Which parts of your body can benefit from this amazing hair removal procedure? The answer is almost all of them! Any common areas where people typically experience unwanted body hair can be treated using laser hair removal. During your individualized consultation, we will discuss your treatment plan and decide on the areas you want to treat. 

Legs

Many patients have had to shave their legs for years to feel comfortable wearing shorts, dresses, and skirts. With laser hair removal, this hassle no longer has to be a part of your life. You can show off your legs year-round with your new smooth, hair-free skin. Summertime clothing has never been so easy to rock!

Bikini Line

Women who like to keep their bikini lines trim and smooth will benefit from laser hair removal. Your bikini line is one of the fastest areas to treat with laser hair removal. You don’t have to be frustrated by unwanted bikini line hair and stubble anymore. Enjoy the beach and swimming pool again with laser hair removal. 

Arms

Dark, unwanted hair on your arms can get in the way of the smooth, hair-free look that you want. Shaving your arms could cause hair to grow back dark and thick, defeating the purpose of hair removal. 

If you feel uncomfortable wearing short sleeves, laser hair removal on your arms can help. The laser destroys unwanted arm hair to give you a smooth complexion and eliminate pesky dark arm hairs. 

Face

Unwanted facial hair can be frustrating to deal with. Laser hair removal gets rid of facial hair to give you a clearer, smoother complexion on your face. For female patients especially, laser hair removal for the face can be life-changing. You no longer have to shave or wax your face or struggle with makeup application. 

Bathing Suit Areas

Private areas for men and women tend to grow thick, coarse hair. If you are tired of waxing and shaving the areas covered by your bathing suit, get laser hair removal. This procedure will get rid of unwanted hair down there so you can enjoy smooth, radiant skin. 

These can be the most difficult areas to shave, so the laser hair removal procedure can produce great time-saving benefits. 

Back

Men tend to struggle with thick, long back hairs, and this area is nearly impossible to shave. If you want to permanently get rid of unwanted back hair, laser hair removal is the best option for you. You don’t have to worry about the “caveman look” associated with thick back hair. Consider laser hair removal for your unwanted back hair.
