As we age, our skin can be plagued by imperfections we’d like addressed. Some of us aren’t willing or aren’t yet ready for deeper treatments that require downtime, needles or chemicals to rejuvenate our complexion. Luckily, you don’t have to choose between doing nothing or getting a more invasive and difficult treatment. Call Elements Rejuvenating Med Spa in Davenport, FL to ask about all the benefits of getting a HydraFacial.

What Causes Imperfections?

There are several things that can cause the imperfections that discourage us when we look in the mirror. The most common complaints we hear at our med spa are:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Dull complexion
• Uneven skin tone and texture
• Sun damage and age spots
• Large pores
• Acne and clogged pores

 

Fine Lines & Wrinkles

We all get them: it’s just a matter of when and what we will do about them. Lines and wrinkles form as we naturally lose production of collagen and elastin. Collagen is the most abundant protein in our bodies and keeps our skin thick, smooth and bright. Elastin keeps it from losing its shape when it’s stretched during movement or by gravity. We lose about 1% in collagen production a year after we turn 20. This means our strong foundation is weakened and small crevices will appear under the surface following the path of our expressions. Elastin production declines too, so our skin is less likely to bounce back as we make expressions and will eventually lose its fight with gravity.

Dull Complexion

The first and most obvious reason for a dull complexion is the number of dead skin cells we may be carrying around on the surface of our skin. We’re constantly shedding them, and without proper exfoliation, we can’t remove the dull barrier they can cause. Also remember we expose our skin to every pollutant in the air around us and it can start reacting to the constant irritation, particularly if there’s a buildup. Another reason for a dull complexion is age. As we age, our cells don’t regenerate as quickly or in as healthy a state as they did when we were younger. Where we used to have bright and healthy skin, we may now look tired and dull.

Sun Damage or Age Spots

These dark, flat circles can pop up anywhere but are mostly seen in the areas most exposed to the sun, like the face, hands, arms and shoulders. Each time you’re exposed without sunscreen to the sun’s harmful rays, the cells in your body that produce melanin up their production to protect your skin. Melanin creates the pigment of our skin, hair and eyes. Over time, your skin can’t regenerate bright and evenly toned cells because melanin gets clumped together, causing these dark spots on your face. They can appear as just one or they can group together to form even larger areas of discoloration. Aesthetics aside, age spots are harmless.

Uneven Tone & Texture

We all have those days where our tone is uneven, parts look ruddy, others blotchy and we have to cake on makeup to even it out. The same can happen with texture, though this mostly happens with age. If you get scaly and dry patches, it could be a skin condition like eczema or it could just be your skin cells not regenerating properly and causing areas of uneven texture made worse by an accumulation of dead skin cells.

Large/Clogged Pores & Acne

If you struggle with clogged pores, it could be because you’re producing too much oil or sebum. The sebum meant to hydrate your skin causes a clogged pore. If the sebum mixes with the bacteria on your skin, you’ll develop a pimple. These clogged pores are made worse because of environmental pollution, dirt and makeup. If you suffer from whiteheads or cystic acne, you risk developing scars, so never pick at your face and seek help if you struggle with cystic acne. Blackheads can make your pores look very large because they’re filled with sebum and bacteria. Over time pores can become larger and even stretch out as we lose the elastin that used to keep them tightly closed.

We Need an All-In-One Solution

We know there are a lot of solutions available to you that seem like they’d tackle one or two of these issues, but then you’d have to get a different treatment to address a few more concerns. That can end up being frustrating and expensive. And if you’re looking for treatments that are completely non-invasive, you may be hard-pressed to get real results. HydraFacial changes all that.

What Is HydraFacial?

HydraFacial is a patented treatment taking the world by storm. Its innovative technology is working wonders for all skin types and tones and for people of every age. If you’re looking for something completely non-invasive to give you immediate and noticeable results, you’ve found it. Oh, and it’s totally customizable for your skin type, special needs or current issues. This treatment uses its patented Vortex technology to cleanse, exfoliate, extract and hydrate. It delivers a proprietary blend of cleansers, peels, serums and other nourishment directly to the skin via custom, interchangeable tips attached to the Vortex tool. This treatment is relaxing and gets our clients amazing results. The basic facial reveals skin that’s:

• Brighter
• Softer
• Smoother
• More hydrated
• Vibrant
• Clearer

 

What Are the Benefits of HydraFacial?

Because there are so many benefits when you customize this treatment, we’ll start with the basic treatment. The spiral design of the tips is combined with vacuum technology and serums to easily clean, dislodge and remove impurities. Once everything is removed, the same technology infuses the skin with nutrient-rich serums. The steps to the basic facial are:

1. Cleanse
2. Peel
3. Extract
4. Hydrate
5. Fuse
6. Protect

Sounds like you don’t really need much more, right? Well, remember this is suitable for every single skin type, tone and issue. If you have more fine lines than you’d like, you can customize this treatment with what they call “boosters” to specifically address lines. The facial on its own is spectacular. The boosters take it over the top because you get to make this treatment exactly what you want it to be.

Boosters

Here are where personalized benefits can be found. When we consult before your treatment, we’ll talk through all the boosters and add-ons available so we can make this facial treatment exactly what you want it to be.

• Remove toxic buildup
• Decrease inflammation
• Remove unhealthy buildup

LED Lights

You can choose from red or blue and tack this on to the end of your treatment. Blue LED lights are great for anyone who suffers from acne. This light targets and disrupts p. acnes bacteria to improve the appearance of congested and oily skin. The red LED light is a great finish to the facial for anyone who wants to further heal their skin and promote healthy cell regeneration.

What to Expect

So now you know all the amazing things HydraFacial can do, here’s what you can expect from treatment. You’ll come in and we’ll manually wash your skin so the treatment starts on completely clean skin. We’ll apply the first tip, turn on the machine and run the pen-like tool over your skin. Through each phase, we may change tips. Our clients describe this as a relaxing experience and say it feels just like a facial massage. When you’re done, there’s no downtime. All you have to do is enjoy your beautiful skin.

Results

Results are immediate. You’ll have brighter, healthier and glowing skin right away. If you’ve chosen some anti-aging serums that boost collagen, your results may continue to get better over the next few weeks. Clients who maintain a regular schedule of follow-up appointments have the best, long-term results. We recommend getting a facial at least every four weeks for continued results. We’ll work with you to develop the right course of treatment to address your concerns.

If you’re struggling with a dull and uneven tone or fine lines and uneven texture, there’s a versatile treatment that can help. Call Elements Rejuvenating Med Spa in Davenport, FL and ask about dermaplaning.

What Causes Imperfections?

You may have a great skincare routine full of nourishing products that you know should be feeding your skin, but they seem to have lost their healing properties. They didn’t: your skin may have just formed a barrier to fully absorbing what they can provide.

Your skin can look dull and make you feel you have to scrap your whole routine. The truth is, you have a layer of dead skin cells, microscopic debris, peach fuzz and sebum that can build up and act like a dull mask covering your once-glowing complexion.

Lines and Wrinkles

The problem with lines and wrinkles, aside from their existence, is their appearance can be highlighted when dead skin cells build up. Your skin is more likely to dry out because the moisture you’re trying to infuse can’t penetrate deep enough to plump them and help reduce their appearance.

Breakouts

If you’re experiencing more blemishes than normal, you could have oil, dirt and debris in your pores that can’t make its way out. The longer your pores are clogged, the larger they’ll become and the more acne-prone you’ll be. The bacteria that causes acne will be tougher to wash off too, adding to the problem.

Uneven Texture

Buildup doesn’t happen in a smooth and even layer. The rough spots you’re experiencing could be because of build up on top of and underneath your complexion. You have a lot of peach fuzz on your face, and that collects microscopic debris.

Sun/Age Spots

When your skin is exposed to the harmful UV rays of the sun, it produces more melanin. Melanin gives our skin its pigment. The more melanin you have, the darker your skin. But melanin doesn’t just give us our overall skin color. It also erupts in bursts in response to sun exposure. Over time, or with a bad enough burn, you can develop permanent brown spots that disrupt your clear complexion and can add an aged appearance to your skin.

Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a skin rejuvenation treatment that’s getting a lot of press because of those satisfying YouTube videos showing real time results. The results are immediate and amazing. The best part? There are no needles, nothing invasive, it’s completely comfortable, and it requires zero downtime.

What Is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is the removal of the top layer of your skin, dead skin cells, dirt, debris and peach fuzz. It sounds like a big and complicated job, but it’s a fairly simple, albeit effective, treatment. Your skincare specialist will use a medical grade scalpel held at a 45-degree angle and gently scrape off everything you don’t want on your skin.

We know it can sound intimidating, but as long as you’re only going to professional and experienced skincare professionals, it’s 100% safe. They will take their time, and you’ll experience no discomfort. It literally feels like all the grime and impurities are being shaved off your face; because they are. But this is more than a shave.

Is Dermaplaning Good for My Skin?

When you see what it will scrape off your face, you might gasp, but you’ll definitely realize it’s no wonder your skin looked dull. This treatment is good for your skin in a number of ways.

Peach Fuzz

The technical term is vellus hair. The pores all over our bodies have hair growing out of them except on the palms of our hands and bottoms of our feet. There’s something unique about the hair on your face, though. It’s subject to makeup and whatever is on your hands each time you touch it. The average person touches their face about four times an hour.

No matter how diligent we are about washing our hands, some gunk we touch makes it to our faces. Our peach fuzz can act as a magnet and become weighed down and dull. Imagine if you applied all your makeup to your hair every day! Even if you washed it every night, eventually residue would dull it and weigh it down. Over time, these hairs on our faces add to a very dull complexion.

Dead Skin Cells

Our skin regenerates about every 28 days, which means each cell dies to make room for a new one. It also means that we have those dead cells on our skin, and they don’t always make it off. If they’re packed down by makeup, oil and peach fuzz, they will linger and form a dull barrier to the brighter, newer cells underneath.

Clogged Pores

We’re not suggesting you have this done if you’re in the middle of a bad cystic breakout, but if you’re riddled with blackheads and large pores, this treatment can seem like a miracle. Because of the way your specialist will manipulate your skin, your pores can be unclogged and will minimize.

Better Absorption of Products and Other Treatments

A wonderful benefit to this treatment is how it opens your skin up to better absorb your facial products. We recommend working with your skincare specialist to make sure you’re using the best products for your skin type and areas of concern because whatever you use will sink deep into your skin.

Many clients choose to have another treatment done after dermaplaning, like a chemical peel or platelet rich plasma therapy. Dermatologists and skincare professionals agree the benefits of treatments that rely on penetrating the skin are much better after this treatment. Even having a nutrient-rich and hydrating facial will amp up your results.

What to Expect

Once you and your skincare specialist have decided this will address your areas of concern, there are only a few things you need to do to prepare for treatment:

• Stop any harsh exfoliants, including scrubs, AHAs, BHAs and retinoids for 5-7 days before
• Don’t wax, thread or shave for two weeks before treatment
• Avoid direct sun exposure by wearing sunscreen for two weeks prior to treatment
• Don’t use self-tanning products for a week before

 

Your Treatment

You’ll lay back on the treatment chair, and your specialist will get close enough to see the details of your skin. They will start to gently scrape your skin. They’re not rough, and you won’t be in discomfort. It will feel like your face is being shaved. They may show you everything they’re removing as they go, and you’ll be shocked.

When the session is over after about 30 minutes, they’ll apply a nourishing serum or moisturizer and sunscreen. This is when you’ll move on to the next treatment if you’re doing more than one. There’s no downtime, so you can slide right back into your daily routine. You’ll need to follow post-treatment instructions that may include avoiding retinols and other exfoliants for a certain amount of time, depending on your skin.

When Can I Expect Results?

Immediately! If you take selfies immediately before and after your treatment, you will be shocked at how bright and glowing your skin is. Most people don’t put on makeup for days after because their skin is so miraculously clear and soft. But when you do put on makeup, it’s going to be a game-changer.

Most makeup we use sits on top of our peach fuzz and dead cells. After this treatment, it will go on the way it was always supposed to: smooth and clean, without streaks. It comes off in a snap too, taking you right back to your glowing new complexion. Other results you’ll see after treatment include:

• Even texture and tone
• A softening of fine lines
• Smaller pores
• Reduced or eliminated blackheads
• A silky softness

 

How Many Sessions Do I Need?

To see immediate results, you only need one. It’s recommended to have this done once a month as your skin regenerates and your peach fuzz grows back. Over time, this will improve your collagen production, which can further improve the look of fine lines and wrinkles.

Dispelling Myths

Won’t My Hair Grow Back Thicker and Darker?

No, absolutely not. In fact, it’s physically impossible for this to happen. Your hair color and texture are determined in the hair follicle deep below the surface of your skin. This is only taking hair from the top of your skin, so however your facial hair looked like before treatment is exactly how it will look after.

Won’t This Cause Breakouts?

This treatment prevents breakouts, not the opposite. Remember, it’s removing dirt and debris from your skin along with any bacteria that may linger on the surface. Your topical treatments will work better, you’ll be able to cleanse your skin on a deeper level and apply soothing, natural ingredients to keep it calm.

Is This Safe for All Skin Colors?

Yes! This treatment doesn’t use heat or lasers, which can sometimes be a concern for clients with darker skin tones. This just removes dead skin cells and fuzz so there’s no risk of damaging the melanin or altering the pigment of anyone’s skin.

Can’t I Do This At Home?

There are a lot of DIY ideas out there that you can shave your face and get the same results. You can’t. Razors won’t exfoliate the way a professional treatment does. Your skincare specialist manipulates your skin throughout the process to reach deeper than you ever could at home. And even though they’re using a scalpel, what they do is safer.

There’s a big risk to taking a razor to your face. Think about how many men walk around with scabs and cuts or how many times you’ve nicked your ankle or knee. Your skin is more delicate, and using a razor or a self-proclaimed at home dermaplaning tool carries with it too much risk without any of the rewards.

Treatments You Can Add

Talk to your skincare specialist about the add-on treatments they recommend to complement this treatment. Depending on the condition of your skin, your age and your areas of concern, they may recommend:

• Chemical peels
• Platelet rich plasma therapy
• HydraFacial
• Customized facials

Also, ask for a recommended skincare routine to enhance your results. There are even skincare makeup lines available line EMINENCE and SkinCeuticals that offer makeup that actually improves the condition and health of your skin.

Is your face or body pockmarked by acne scars? Do you suffer from loose skin? Are you afflicted by hyperpigmentation? At Elements Rejuvenating Med Spa in Davenport, FL, we believe everyone should be comfortable and confident in their own skin. That is why we are proud to offer microneedling. Today, we answer a few of our most frequently asked questions about this treatment.

17 Common Microneedling Questions Answered

1. Does Microneedling Really Work?

When performed by a professional dermatologist with the SkinPen device, microneedling absolutely works. The SkinPen device has been tested rigorously in many double-blind, third-party clinical trials. The results of the SkinPen have definitively been determined to be safe and effective.

2. How Does Microneedling Work?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, works by kick-starting your skin’s collagen production process. When the fine needles penetrate your skin, your skin immediately identifies “micro-injuries.” In response, your skin starts to generate new tissue rich in strong, healthy collagen.

This new skin is more even in texture and tone. Scars become smoother and lighter. Dully, ruddy skin looks bright and beautiful. Loose skin becomes firm. Old-looking skin appears young and fresh. All of this, and more, is thanks to the incredible power of collagen.

3. How Should I Prepare for Treatment?

During your initial consultation, we will give you a comprehensive list of everything you need to do in preparation for your treatment. For instance, you must stop using certain prescription acne medications and NSAIDs before your session. Similarly, you must stop using topical retinoids for several weeks ahead of your treatment.

We strongly recommend that you come in without wearing makeup. While you are free to wear makeup immediately after treatment, we will cleanse and sanitize the treatment area before we start. If you feel comfortable doing so, wash your face with a gentle cleanser and come in with a bare face.

4. What Can I Expect During Collagen Induction Therapy?

Before your treatment session, your esthetician will apply a topical anesthetic to numb the treatment site and ensure your total comfort. While the needles used are so fine they do not cause pain, some people are averse to needles. A topical anesthetic eliminates this problem.

Once the treatment site is numbed, the dermal roller will be passed over your skin evenly. Your dermatologist may need to pass over your skin several times to get the desired effect. While it takes between 15 and 60 minutes for the anesthetic to take effect, the collagen induction therapy process only takes half an hour. Afterward, you may receive a protective serum to hydrate your skin.

5. What Can I Expect After Collagen Induction Therapy?

Because collagen induction therapy is not invasive, there is no downtime required. After spending a couple of hours in our office, you are free to return to work. There is also no pain, and you do not need to worry about side effects.

Remember, new skin replaces old skin after collagen induction therapy. Therefore, your new skin will be particularly sensitive to the sun’s harmful rays for a while. Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen liberally and often. Try to avoid direct sunlight between 10 AM and 2 PM during the first 72 hours following your treatment.

6. How Soon Will I See Results?

While microneedling gets to work immediately, it can be a couple of weeks before you see the final results of treatment. First, it takes time for your body to produce new collagen. Then, it takes time for your skin to tighten in response to the healthier, more robust collagen.

In the case of smoothing out fine lines, wrinkles, or folds, it will take a couple of weeks to see the localized increase in volume. Regarding the size reduction of your pores, the results are immediate.

7. Can I Do This at Home?

Unfortunately, you cannot safely or effectively perform this treatment at home. While it may seem like a good way to save a couple of bucks, the needles do not penetrate the skin deeply enough to produce your desired results. Even worse, the length of the needles is not customizable, and the needles are larger in diameter, meaning they will be uncomfortable.

If you try to perform collagen induction therapy at home, you must do it without a topical numbing cream. Moreover, there is a chance that you will not sanitize the treatment site effectively. If the treatment is not performed in a sterile environment, you run a significant risk of infection. Don’t risk pain, discomfort, no results, and infection. Leave collagen induction therapy to the professionals.

8. Am I a Good Candidate for This Treatment?

One of the most compelling benefits of this treatment is that nearly everyone is a good candidate. It is safe for all skin types, tones, and textures. During your initial consultation, we will review your aesthetic goals, medical history, and current health to determine if this is the ideal aesthetic service for you.

This treatment may not be right for you if you are pregnant, have an open wound at the treatment site, have recently undergone radiation therapy, have a history of keloid scars, or suffer from certain skin diseases, like atopic dermatitis or chronic plaque psoriasis.

9. What Conditions Can Be Treated With Collagen Induction Therapy?

People often think that microneedling is only used to treat signs of aging and other imperfections of the face. It’s true that collagen induction therapy can treat several facial concerns, including:

• Uneven skin tone
• Trauma/burn scars
• Acne scars
• Age spots
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Loose skin
• Large pores

However, collagen induction therapy can also safely and effectively be used to treat other skin concerns. For instance, particularly combined with fillers, collagen induction therapy can reduce the appearance of stretch marks on the thighs and lower abdomen.

10. How Many Treatment Sessions Will I Need?

Depending on the type of scar you are trying to treat, it can take between three and six sessions spaced four to six weeks apart to achieve scar reduction. For significant anti-aging, you may need three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. For pore reduction, you should only need one session.

11. How Long Do the Results Last?

The results of collagen induction therapy for scar reduction are permanent. For line and wrinkle reduction, you can expect to enjoy results for six months or more. Pore reduction can also be enjoyed for a long time.

Regarding loose skin, you should not need another treatment for at least half a year. However, the new collagen produced will eventually age. Moreover, your body produces less collagen naturally, the older you get. Therefore, if you are older, you may need more frequent treatment sessions.

12. Can This Be Performed With Other Aesthetic Services?

Collagen induction therapy provides many anti-aging benefits, along with other cosmetic benefits. However, increased collagen production alone is not enough to address all cosmetic concerns. For instance, sometimes wrinkles are caused by muscle hyperactivity rather than volume loss. In such a case, neuromodulators are necessary to enhance your aesthetic and can easily be paired with this treatment.

13. Are Vampire Facials Effective?

Vampire facials, also known as vampire facelifts, are absolutely effective. There are a couple of ways to perform this type of treatment. However, it always incorporates PRP into your collagen induction therapy session. PRP, also known as platelet-rich plasma, is derived from your own blood. One of the primary benefits of this is that there is no risk of an allergic reaction.

Another significant benefit is that platelets are rich in human growth hormones and other growth factors. When combined with collagen induction therapy, PRP speeds the results of treatment and makes them even more dramatic. Even better, platelet-rich plasma can make the results of collagen induction therapy last for up to two years.

14. Am I a Good Candidate for a Vampire Facial?

During your initial consultation, we will review your aesthetic goals to help you determine if this aesthetic treatment is right for you. Generally, the best candidates for this treatment are looking to treat:

• Forehead lines
• Gaunt cheeks
• Crow’s feet
• Vertical lip wrinkles
• Marionette lines
• Loose skin around the jawline
• Frown lines
• Deep nasolabial folds

 

15. Can This Treatment Be Combined With Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels are the perfect complement to collagen induction therapy. Collagen induction therapy is often used to reduce the size of pores. However, chemical peels are often used to remove impurities, such as debris, allergens, irritants, pollutants, and dead skin cells, from the skin’s surface. When pores are opened, they are more receptive to other treatments, like acne medications.

The great thing about chemical peels is that they can be customized for your skin type, skin tone, and skin texture. Some clients only want a gentle peel. We can accommodate that. We can also accommodate clients who need deeper penetration and more dramatic improvement. You may be a good candidate for this treatment if you would like to correct:

• A dull, ruddy complexion
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Hyperpigmentation
• Age spots
• Extensive sun damage
• Acne and acne scarring
• Uneven skin tone
• Uneven skin texture

 

16. Could I Benefit From Collagen Induction Therapy With Radiofrequency?

If you show significant signs of aging, there is an excellent chance you could benefit from collagen induction therapy. This treatment combines two of the most effective anti-aging treatments into an incredibly powerful treatment session.

This treatment is ideal for people with extensive signs of aging because collagen induction therapy encourages your skin’s surface to produce collagen. Radiofrequency encourages the deeper layers of your skin to produce collagen. Benefits of this treatment include:

• Long-lasting results
• Quick, effective treatment
• Eliminated fine lines and wrinkles
• Drastically or completely reduced scarring
• Dramatic skin tightening around the upper neck, chin and face

 

17. Does Collagen Induction Therapy Complement a HydraFacial Well?

Collagen induction therapy and HydraFacial treatments are a match made in heaven. The HydraFacial device harnesses the power of 4-in-1 Vortex technology to provide you with four aesthetic treatments at once.

In one session, your face is cleansed. Impurities are suctioned gently from your face rather than being blasted or sanded away. A chemical peel of your choice is applied to take the fresh, bright, youthful look of your face to the next level. Then, anti-aging, healing, or hydrating serums are applied to protect your enhanced aesthetic.

With the FDA’s approval of microneedling, there can be no doubt this esthetic service works. But this is only true for the SkinPen device. DIY dermal rollers do not penetrate the skin deeply enough to cause the desired effect and are not safe or comfortable.
