What Makes HydraFacial So Effective?

April 15, 2022 by A Younger You

HydraFacial

HydraFacials are currently the most popular in-office facial treatment globally, with millions of HydraFacial procedures performed each year. With everyone from your favorite celebrity to your coworkers experiencing the benefits of HydraFacial, it’s natural that you may want to know more about what this unique facial has to offer.

A Younger You Medical Spa in Burlington and Brookfield wants you to rediscover your natural beauty. We invest in the latest and most advanced skin rejuvenation procedures to ensure you have the best options to restore your skin, regardless of your concerns. 

HydraFacials reform your skin beautifully in just one procedure. So it’s easy to see why fans keep coming back for more. Whether your skin shows signs of aging, suffers from acne, or experiences any other issue, HydraFacials provide a solution for your skincare needs.

What Is a HydraFacial?

A HydraFacial is one of the most potent non-invasive skin treatments available. The procedure rejuvenates the skin by using a patented technology to clean, extract, and hydrate your skin in as little as 30 minutes. 

The HydraFacial procedure uses the brand’s unique Vortex-Fusion system to deeply cleanse the skin while simultaneously infusing healthy serums and moisturizers, revealing a refreshing, younger look.

Most HydraFacial benefits result from the procedure’s multi-step process that addresses several skin concerns at once. 

First, our skilled aestheticians use the wand attached to the HydraFacial machine to create a swirling “vortex” effect. This effect pulls impurities upward while pushing serums into the skin simultaneously. 

The results are impressive. Since HydraFacial is both gentle and effective, patients can immediately expect noticeable skin tone and texture improvements.

How Is HydraFacial So Effective?

HydraFacial’s effectiveness lies in its combination of unique technology and powerful ingredients. The treatment uses a variety of acids to achieve results, including glycolic, beta, lactic, salicylic, and hyaluronic.

While this combination may sound more like a chemical peel than a restoring facial, these acids mix into a series of serums, which, through the multi-step process, serve specific functions in restoring the skin.

What Is the HydraFacial’s Multi-Step Process?

Each step of the HydraFacial process builds on the last, resulting in impressive results for all skin types. 

Step 1: Cleansing Through Vortex Exfoliation

Step one serves as skin detoxification through exfoliation. Skin naturally sheds dead cells to make way for new ones every few weeks. However, that process doesn’t consistently slough off cells completely, resulting in dull skin, clogged pores, and dry, flaky patches. 

In HydraFacial’s first step, the wand clears deeply embedded dirt and oil from the pores using the Activ-4™ Serum, which contains algae extract and lactic acid. 

The serum’s lactic acid increases cell turnover and eliminates the buildup of dead skin cells on the top layer of skin. The algae extract works in conjunction with the lactic acid and is full of antioxidants, vitamin B, magnesium, zinc, and detoxifying minerals that help clean out buildup in pores. This combination thoroughly cleans the skin. 

Step 2: Debris Loosening Through Vortex-Peel

Step two of the HydraFacial provides exfoliation and debris loosening from deep inside skin cells. Using the Glysal™ serum, a mix of glycolic and salicylic acid, the skin is hydrated and the pores are permeated, loosening debris for easy removal. 

Glysal serum’s glycolic acid breaks the bonds between the skin’s outer layer of cells and the subsequent skin layer. It also helps the outer skin barrier retain moisture. The serum’s other main ingredient, salicylic acid, reduces swelling and redness and unplugs blocked skin pores. 

Step 3: Pore Cleansing Through Vortex Extraction

Extracting clogged pores is often one of the most exciting and painful parts of any facial. However, the excitement over your potentially clearer skin may outweigh any potential pain. Unfortunately, poorly performed extractions result in long-lasting redness, breakouts, and scarring. 

Fortunately, HydraFacial’s Vortex Extraction process doesn’t irritate the skin. Instead, the wand acts as a vacuum, sucking the dirt and debris loosened in step two from your pores while infusing your skin with the Beta-HD™ serum. The Vortex Extraction means no pinching, pushing, or remaining remnants in your pores. 

The Beta-HD serum uses honey extract to hydrate and condition the skin. Salicylic acid and willow bark extract exfoliate the skin. Lastly, Tasmanian pepper and spiraea ulmaria flower extracts calm, soothe and protect the skin. 

Step 4: Vortex Fusion

The final HydraFacial step takes advantage of the previous steps to reap the most significant benefits for your skin. First, our expert aesthetician saturates the skin with Antiox+™, nourishing and protecting it with antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid in the Vortex Fusion.

At this point in the procedure, the skin is ready to absorb all of the benefits of the serum. The skin is naturally detoxified, and the antioxidants found in the serum’s vitamins A and E, white tea extract, and rosemary leaf extract protect the skin from environmental free radicals. In addition, the serum’s hyaluronic acid deeply moisturizes. 

What Are the HydraFacial Benefits?

HydraFacial is gentle enough for most skin types, and it works to treat most common skin concerns, including:

  • Blemishes
  • Pores clogged with blackheads and whiteheads
  • Uneven skin tones
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Oily skin
  • Dry skin
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Skin laxity
  • Enlarged pores

HydraFacial benefits include the ability to customize the treatment for your skin concerns. For example, we can adjust the serum levels to suit your skin’s needs. In addition, the HydraFacial procedure requires no downtime. It just offers smoother, clearer, and younger-looking skin. 

Am I a Candidate for HydraFacial?

All skin types can experience HydraFacial benefits. Anyone looking for skin rejuvenation can expect to enjoy results from a HydraFacial. 

HydraFacials treat many skin concerns at once, so patients who previously combined monthly facials with chemical peels or microdermabrasion treatments now see similar results in one 30-minute HydraFacial. 

A Younger You Medical Spa’s skilled aesthetic team wants you to see how fresh, smooth and soft your skin can be. Call or schedule an online appointment to learn more about HydraFacial treatments to rejuvenate your skin.

What’s Unique About CoolSculpting Elite?

April 15, 2022 by A Younger You

CoolSculpting

When CoolSculpting first gained FDA approval in 2010, it quickly became a popular way to reduce stubborn fat that seems immune to diet and exercise. CoolSculpting is a non-invasive, non-surgical treatment that allows patients to finally see results that even diet and exercise can’t achieve. 

Patients love CoolSculpting so much that when CoolSculpting Elite was released, the team at A Younger You Medical Spa knew we needed the latest advancements in body sculpting. As a result, patients in Brookfield and Burlington now have the opportunity to sculpt the body they want using the latest technology available. 

People’s bodies come in different shapes and types, and some bodies hold on to resistant fat pockets that keep you from achieving the figure you want even when you’re exercising and eating healthy foods. CoolSculpting Elite allows you to see the results you’ve worked for.

What Is CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is a fat-freezing treatment in which a skilled technician places an applicator onto a stubborn pocket of fat. The applicator suctions the skin into its cooling plates, then exposes the fat to precise, calibrated cooling. 

The cold temperature of the CoolSculpting process freezes underlying fat without harming the skin in the surrounding tissues because fat freezes at higher temperatures than skin.

After the fat cells freeze, the cell membrane holding the fat ruptures, and it dies. The body naturally processes the dead fat cells, removing them from the body via the lymphatic system. The fat cells never return, making it a permanent, non-surgical treatment for reducing pockets of fat. 

How Is CoolSculpting Elite Different?

CoolSculpting Elite builds on the fat-freezing treatment developed with the original procedure. While the original CoolSculpting machine only allowed for one applicator per treatment, CoolSculpting Elite uses a dual applicator system, enabling technicians to double the fat reduction in less time. 

CoolSculpting Elite’s new applicators are also entirely re-engineered using a new, innovative design. The new design complements the body’s natural curve, better fitting the treatment area. As a result, the unique shape is more effective and comfortable. 

Lastly, the CoolSculpting Elite’s cooling panels are 18% larger than the originals, increasing the amount of frozen fat in a single treatment. 

What Areas Can I Treat with CoolSculpting Elite?

CoolSculpting Elite’s groundbreaking technology makes it the only non-surgical treatment for targeting nine areas of the body, including:

  • The submental area under the chin
  • The submandibular area under the jawline
  • Inner, outer, and front thighs
  • The abdomen
  • Flanks or love handles at the waist
  • Bra fat on the torso, under the armpits
  • Back fat
  • Underneath the buttocks
  • Upper arms

While both CoolSculpting and CoolSculpting Elite may require multiple treatments to achieve your desired results, with CoolSculpting Elite, the treatment is more effective, and appointments are shorter. 

Will CoolSculpting Elite Help Me Lose Weight?

While losing weight and eliminating fat may sound similar, they’re not the same. CoolSculpting is not a weight-loss treatment; it’s a fat-freezing treatment. Since muscle weighs so much more than fat, the fat you lose from CoolSculpting won’t make a big difference to the number on your scale. 

CoolSculpting treatments improve your appearance and can remove up to 25% of the fat in a treatment area. Patients undergoing CoolSculpting procedures aren’t necessarily looking to drop weight but hoping to improve their figure at a current healthy weight. 

How Does a CoolSculpting Elite Procedure Work?

Every CoolSculpting Elite treatment begins with a consultation with one of our expert technicians. We’ll discuss your treatment areas and your ultimate goals during this consultation and estimate the number of sessions you’ll need to see the best results.

When it’s time for your treatment, a member of our expert team will attach the applicator to your treatment area, where it will sit for the duration of your session. Although the CoolSculpting device will feel cold to your skin for the first few moments after activation, this sensation should go away after a few minutes.

While your treatment is underway, you can read, watch TV, or even sleep while the activators destroy your fat cells. The entire treatment takes between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the targeted area. After the treatment, we will massage the area to break up the crystallized fat cells. 

The procedures don’t require any downtime, so you can resume your daily activities immediately. 

How Many CoolSculpting Elite Sessions Will I Need?

The number of sessions you’ll need varies based on your treatment area. Most patients receive between one and three sessions. However, for CoolSculpting to work, there must be a “pinchable” amount of fat in the area.

We typically ask patients to wait at least a month between treatments. The body needs some time to flush the fat cells, and you don’t want to refreeze the same dead fat cells. Waiting for one to three months between treatments provides the best results.

When Will I See Results?

Most patients begin to see changes in the contour of their treatment area as soon as three weeks after their initial treatment. However, two months after your treatment, the results will be much more noticeable. 

Since the destroyed fat cells need to go through the body’s natural eliminating process, the full results take time. Smaller treatment areas, such as the chin or jawline, tend to see results sooner. 

Am I a Good Candidate for CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is ideal for anyone who wants to get rid of pockets of excess fat that stubbornly persist despite maintaining a relatively healthy weight. Candidates for CoolSculpting Elite should be near their ideal weight to see optimal results. 

If your goal is to shed resistant fat without surgery or downtime, then CoolSculpting may be the ideal treatment for you. To learn if you’re a good candidate for this state-of-the-art body contouring treatment, book your appointment with A Younger You Medical Spa at our convenient Burlington or Brookfield locations!

Take Time to Relax at Our Medical Spa in Milwaukee

July 1, 2019 by A Younger You

medical spa

Visitors to our medical spa in the Milwaukee area have been taking advantage of non-surgical anti-aging treatments and procedures that are fast and have them back in their daily lives almost immediately. Treatments like microdermabrasion, dermal fillers, and the HydraFacial® offer real results with no need for much, if any, downtime. This is because they do less damage to the skin than some other types of treatments and procedures. No incisions are involved, so less healing time is necessary.

Microdermabrasion

Has your skin lost some of its radiance recently? As skin cells develop and mature, they rise to the surface layers of your skin to replace dead skin cells. These dead skin cells normally slough off to make room for maturing skin cells. However, this material can sometimes build up on the surface of your skin and really dull your complexion. This is where microdermabrasion comes in.

This treatment breaks up all of those dead skin cells for an immediate brightening of your complexion. Making microdermabrasion a regular part of your skin care routine offers the best results.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are injectable substances that can help to smooth away fine lines and wrinkles that can make you look older externally than you feel internally. This is an exciting anti-aging treatment that offers real results without any real downtime necessary.

Hyaluronic acid is an important skin component that declines with age. Since its role in your skin is to provide hydration, its age-related decline leads to skin that gradually grows thinner and more susceptible to the formation of lines and wrinkles. A hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler can help replace the amount that you have lost due to the aging process and lead to a significant reduction in the prominence of static lines and wrinkles.

Calcium hydroxylapatite is another type of filler containing a substance that is commonly found in bones and teeth. One formulation contains the material enclosed within microspheres to enhance bioavailability. Like other types of fillers, calcium hydroxylapatite dermal fillers work by enhancing facial skin volume to smooth away fine lines and wrinkles. The right filler for you will depend on a number of factors and can ultimately be determined during a consultation.

HydraFacial®

The HydraFacial® is a medical spa treatment that offers instant results that are long-lasting. The treatment has proven to be effective in improving skin conditions like enlarged pores, oily skin, acne, dry skin, sun-damaged skin, and uneven skin tone.

One aspect that makes a HydraFacial® so effective is that it combines multiple technologies in one: It can exfoliate, rejuvenate, and remove dead skin cells, as it cleanses, hydrates, and moisturizes. The treatment does not result in any set downtime. Treatments are fast and easy. HydraFacial® treatments offer results that last longer than normal facials, and your results will be immediately visible.

Microneedling

Not to be confused with microdermabrasion, microneedling is a skin treatment that uses mechanical means to stimulate your body’s natural production of collagen. It is typically used to treat skin conditions like wrinkles, scars, sunspots, and hyperpigmentation.

During this treatment, we move a hand-held device over your skin in a series of passes. Each time this device moves over your skin, it creates many tiny micro-channels in the surface layers. Your body will respond to the treatment by developing new skin cells that rise up and replace old, damaged skin tissue.

One appealing aspect to a microneedling treatment is that it can be combined with topical skin care products. It makes them work better because it allows them to penetrate more deeply into your skin. Gels, ointments, lotions, creams, and serums can bypass the barrier function of your skin by flowing through the microscopic channels created by the microneedling treatment process.

Many patients choose to undergo multiple microneedling treatment sessions because each individual treatment builds upon the results of prior sessions. Your results will appear very soft and natural because we are not making sudden changes to your facial contours. Instead, we are triggering the natural healing abilities of your skin to create a remodeling process. You should begin noticing results within weeks to months after your treatment, with additional results building over the following months.

Laser Skin Treatments

If you are dealing with scars, sun damage, or signs of aging, you may want to consider a laser skin treatment. One great thing about laser treatments is that they are able to precisely target defined areas and leave surrounding skin alone. This means that only skin in a select area is affected. Less skin damage means a shorter recovery time for you.

Laser Hair Removal

In addition to making an effective skin treatment, certain lasers are able to remove unwanted hair so that you no longer have to constantly shave, pluck, or wax in the area of treatment. We use a laser to selectively target hair follicles for destruction. The thermal energy transmitted by the laser will disable the hair follicle and prevent the future growth of unwanted hair.

You will most likely need a series of laser hair removal sessions because of the way that individual hair follicles grow. Each hair follicle is not always in the same growth phase as its neighbor. One hair follicle may be in a growth phase while another is in its dormant phase. Only a hair follicle in a growth phase can be treated. So undergoing multiple sessions at our medical spa allows our professional to catch each and every hair follicle when it happens to be in a growth phase and eligible for treatment.

Chemical Peels

The chemical peel is a great all-around medical spa treatment choice for anyone dealing with skin problems like acne scars, lines and wrinkles, or blemishes. There are different types of chemical peels, and the type you require can be determined at your consultation.

Some peels deal only with superficial skin problems like light wrinkles, superficial acne scars, and dull complexion. It is basically a mild form of exfoliation that removes dead skin cells, oils, and cellular debris from the surface of your skin. This has the effect of brightening your complexion and helping you appear more vigorous and youthful. Other peels are reserved for more stubborn skin problems.

BOTOX® Injections

Many people confuse BOTOX® with dermal fillers. Although they are both anti-aging treatments that involve injections, the two treatments are very different. Dermal fillers enhance facial volume as a way of minimizing static lines and wrinkles, while BOTOX® reduces the activity of facial muscles to minimize the appearance of dynamic wrinkles.

Dynamic wrinkles are those that are formed by underlying facial muscle contractions. Some examples are forehead wrinkles and those found between the eyebrows. BOTOX® prevents the transmission of nerve impulses from the brain to the treated muscles. This prevents their contractions and creates a smooth area at the site of injection.
