Why Are Cooler Months Ideal for Laser Treatments?

Why Are Cooler Months Ideal for Laser Treatments?

Why is the spring good for laser skin resurfacing? Our Newtown, PA-based team gets asked this question a lot by patients who are unsure when will be the best time to schedule their treatments. Laser skin resurfacing is a cosmetic procedure that uses a high-powered laser to remove the outer layers of skin, revealing smoother, more youthful-looking skin underneath. The laser emits a precise beam of light that vaporizes the damaged skin cells on the surface of the skin, promoting the growth of new, healthy skin cells.

There are two main types of laser skin resurfacing: ablative and non-ablative. Ablative laser entirely resurfacing removes the outer layer of skin in the treatment area, while non-ablative laser resurfacing penetrates the skin without removing any layers. Both types of laser resurfacing can be used to treat a variety of skin concerns, including acne scars, wrinkles, and sun damage.

Spring is an ideal time to have laser skin resurfacing for several reasons. First, the cooler temperatures and reduced sunlight during the transitional months make it easier to protect your skin from UV damage while it is healing. Many individuals, especially those who are having laser treatments for the first time, may not realize that sun exposure before and after laser treatments is a no-go. UV exposure can interfere with the healing process and increase the risk of scarring and discoloration, so avoiding the sun is crucial if you’re having laser resurfacing.

Additionally, spring is typically a slower time of year for many people than summer or fall, which means you may have more time to devote to your recovery. Laser skin resurfacing can be a somewhat invasive procedure, and the skin will need time to heal afterward. By scheduling the procedure during the cooler months, you may be able to take a few days off work or social obligations to rest and recover.

Finally, drier air—such as air indoors—can actually be beneficial for the healing process. Laser skin resurfacing can cause some temporary dryness and peeling as the skin sheds its outer layers and new skin cells grow. The drier air can help to prevent the skin from becoming too oily, which can exacerbate these symptoms.

Can BOTOX® Reduce Crow’s Feet?

Does BOTOX® work well for crow’s feet? Our Newtown, PA-based The Well Lounge team says that the short answer is yes! In fact, we often recommend this treatment for people who want to reduce this very common sign of aging.

Crow's feet are fine lines and creases caused by repeated muscle contractions in the eye area, such as those involved in squinting or smiling. While these wrinkles are a natural part of the aging process, they can be treated with BOTOX®, a popular cosmetic injectable that can temporarily reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

But how exactly does BOTOX® work to reduce crow's feet? Let's take a closer look.

What Is BOTOX®?

BOTOX® is a cosmetic injectable made from botulinum toxin, a chemical that can temporarily relax muscles. When injected into the skin, BOTOX® works by blocking the signals that are sent from the nerves to the muscles, which can prevent the muscles from contracting. This can help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, including crow's feet.

How Does BOTOX® Reduce Crow's Feet?

As we age, our skin loses elasticity and becomes more susceptible to wrinkles and fine lines. Crow's feet are particularly common in the eye area because the skin is thin and delicate, and because we use our eye muscles so frequently throughout the day. BOTOX® can be an effective treatment for crow's feet because it works by relaxing the muscles that cause these wrinkles.

When BOTOX® is injected into the skin around the eyes, it blocks the nerve signals that are responsible for muscle contractions. This can prevent the muscles from contracting, which can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The effects of BOTOX® typically last for several months, at which point the muscles will gradually begin to contract again, and the wrinkles will reappear.

Is BOTOX® Safe for Crow's Feet?

BOTOX® is a safe and effective treatment for multiple areas of the face, including moderate to severe crow's feet. It has been approved by the FDA specifically for this cosmetic use, as well as others.

Learn more about wrinkle relaxers and treatments for crow’s feet and other wrinkles from our team at The Well Lounge. Call us at 215-360-3940 or fill out a contact form to schedule a consultation.

Morpheus8 vs. Microneedling: What’s the Difference?

The Well Lounge team is quite familiar with two popular collagen-inducing treatments known for being highly effective at rejuvenating the skin, but the question is, which is better: microneedling or Morpheus8? Our Newtown-based team believes that before you decide on either option—or any cosmetic procedure—you should first do your research and ask the right questions. Let’s take a closer look at these two procedures.

First, we can all agree that just about everyone wants supple, glowing, and smooth skin. It isn’t always easy to attain this goal, however, even with a good at-home skincare routine. Natural aging, sun exposure, pollution, gravity, and stress are just some of the factors that can cause your skin to become damaged and not as vibrant as it once was.

Collagen is one of the skin’s most crucial elements, and when it breaks down due to the factors listed above and the body’s production of the protein declines with age, wrinkles and hollow areas begin to form on the face.

Microneedling and Morpheus8 are two options you can consider for restarting collagen production in the skin and restoring a more youthful appearance. Not sure which of the two cosmetic treatments is best for you? See below for a basic comparison of the two:

Microneedling

Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses incredibly thin, sterilized needles to prick the surface and create small, almost imperceptible wounds that trigger the production of new collagen. Essentially, these treatments kickstart the body’s natural healing response by making microscopic punctures in the skin. This treatment can target various types of skin concerns, including enlarged pores, fine lines, wrinkles, loose or crepey skin, mild scars, skin discoloration, and stretch marks.

Morpheus8

Morpheus8 is set apart by the way it combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to optimize results. The tiny needles send RF energy into various depths of the skin as a way of creating controlled injuries to stimulate the healing response. The treatment can be used on the face, neck, and virtually anywhere on the body. The addition of the RF energy stimulates the production of more important skin proteins and enzymes—like collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid—than would be possible with conventional microneedling on its own. This RF microneedling treatment may also be better for skin tightening.

So, which is better: microneedling or Morpheus8? Contact our team at The Well Lounge for more advice about non-invasive body sculpting procedures. Call us at 215-360-3940 or fill out a contact form to schedule a consultation.

How Do You Know If Emsculpt Neo Is Right for You?

Wondering who is a good candidate for Emsculpt Neo? Our Newtown, PA-based team at The Well Lounge can help anyone who wants to improve their body contours and definition to decide which type of cosmetic procedure would be best for achieving their goals.

Reducing stubborn fat is a common request, but patients should know that building more defined muscles is another way to help sculpt desirable contours. That said, reducing fat and building muscle can both sometimes be difficult to do on your own. Our body fat distribution is influenced by factors that are outside of our control, and we can’t target fat-burning efforts to specific, isolated areas with diet and exercise alone. It can also be challenging for some people to build muscle because hormones and genetics influence our ability to gain muscle mass.

One of the major advantages of Emsculpt Neo is that it not only burns exercise-resistant fat in “trouble zones,” but it also allows patients to simultaneously build muscle. This treatment is an upgraded version of the traditional Emsculpt device. It’s the first and only non-invasive body contouring treatment that combines high intensity, focused electromagnetic technology (HIFEM) and radiofrequency fat reduction.

Fat loss is specifically directed at the areas where muscles are, which is something that cannot be achieved with exercise on its own. The device stimulates muscle contractions, causing nearby fat cells to break down thanks to metabolic processes. At the same time, cellular changes occur in the muscles, causing them to thicken and strengthen.

Ideal candidates for Emsculpt Neo include those who:

  • Are close to their goal weight
  • Want to target relatively smaller surface areas, like the upper thighs
  • Have a resistant pocket of fat or a few final pounds they can’t seem to lose
  • Want to improve their muscle strength to help boost athletic performance
  • Are looking for a quick treatment that doesn’t require any downtime and has minimal side effects
  • Do not have metal implants or electronics inside of their bodies, such as a pacemaker or IUD
  • Believe that they could benefit from less fat and more muscle

The best way to determine is Emsculpt Neo is right for you is to have a discussion during a personalized consultation. Contact our team at The Well Lounge for more advice about non-invasive body sculpting procedures. Call us at 215-360-3940 or fill out a contact form to schedule a consultation.

How Do Facial Fillers Improve the Appearance of Scars?

How do you fill deep scars on your face? Our Newtown, PA-based The Well Lounge team knows that scars can be a frustrating cosmetic concern for many people, especially when they are in highly visible areas. Happily, there many treatments available to reduce the appearance of scars, including hyaluronic acid and biostimulatory facial fillers.

Here are some of the ways these injectables can help to reduce scars.

Hyaluronic Acid Fillers for Scars

Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that is found in the body and is responsible for keeping skin hydrated and plump. Hyaluronic acid fillers, such as Restylane® and Juvéderm®, are commonly used in cosmetic treatments to restore volume and improve the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. However, hyaluronic acid fillers can also be an effective treatment for scars.

When hyaluronic acid fillers are injected into the skin around a scar, they can help to improve the appearance of the scar by filling in the depressed or sunken areas. This can help to smooth out the skin and reduce the visibility of the scar.

Hyaluronic acid fillers are a temporary solution, and the effects typically last for several months—or even years—before additional injections are needed. They provide natural-looking effects that can help to improve the appearance of scars without looking overdone or artificial.

Biostimulatory Facial Fillers for Scars

Biostimulatory facial fillers, such as Sculptra®, are another type of injectable filler that can be used to improve the appearance of scars. Biostimulatory fillers work differently from hyaluronic acid fillers in that they stimulate the body's natural collagen production processes.

Collagen is a protein that is essential for healthy skin, and as we age, our bodies naturally produce less collagen, which can lead to wrinkles and sagging skin.

These fillers can help to stimulate the body's natural collagen production, which can improve the appearance of scars by filling in depressed areas and improving skin texture. These injections provide longer-lasting results than hyaluronic acid fillers, with effects that can last up to two years or more.

Like hyaluronic acid fillers, biostimulatory fillers are a non-surgical treatment that can be administered in our office.

Contact our team of injectors at The Well Lounge for more information about the benefits of facial fillers, as well as more options for treating scars. Call us at 215-360-3940 or fill out a contact form to schedule a consultation.

How Can Body Contouring Help You Achieve Your 2023 Goals?

 

Can cosmetic treatments help you achieve your New Year’s resolutions? Our Newtown, PA-based team at The Well Lounge says yes!

Body contouring treatments in particular can be very helpful for patients who want slimmer, more streamlined body contours, but who have been struggling to tone up certain areas where resistant fat won’t budge. Sometimes, even if we lose weight all over, it can be difficult to slim down specific areas where we are naturally prone to storing more fat. The way our body fat is distributed is mostly determined by genetics and other factors we can’t control. When we lose weight, for example, we can’t decide where it comes from—and there’s no way to “spot reduce” fat via diet and exercise. Still, some people would like to slim down isolated areas.

Cosmetic treatments can help you target these isolated spots on the body to enhance your overall shape. Additionally, these procedures can be helpful for those who have difficulty building muscle definition due to hormones and genetics. Emsculpt Neo is a non-invasive option that provides simultaneous fat reduction and muscle building.

Here are some of the ways that body contouring treatments with this device can help you achieve your goals for the upcoming year:

Reduce Stubborn Fat

Many New Year’s resolutions center on health and fitness. Cosmetic treatments complement a healthy lifestyle. Emsculpt Neo can minimize resistant accumulations of fat on certain areas without the need for surgery or downtime. Your normal activities can be resumed right away afterward, and the side effects usually resolve on their own within one day.

Motivation to Charge Forward

Lots of people will consider cosmetic procedures at the start of a new year as way of improving their self-esteem and outlook. Did you know that cosmetic treatments can have some psychological benefits as well? When we think that we look our best, we tend to perform better at work or in other situations. In combination with a healthy lifestyle, body contouring procedures can help you get into great physical shape by creating a positive feedback loop that leads to future improvements.

Contact The Well Lounge for more advice about cosmetic treatments for enhancing your body shape, as well as ideas for maintaining your resolutions through the new year. Call us at 215-360-3940 or fill out a contact form to schedule a consultation.

How Can Facial Fillers Help You Look Your Best for the Holidays?

Many of the wrinkles that develop on the face occur because of a loss of collagen that’s associated with aging or damage caused by exposure to ultraviolet rays from sunlight, air pollution, cigarette smoke, and other factors. With the festive season at hand, it’s only natural that you’ll want to put your best face forward, so many patients are seeking treatments to help them look their best for holiday parties and vacations. With this in mind, it’s common to wonder: If you want to enjoy the season to the fullest, can you have filler before going on holiday? Our Newtown, PA-based team explains what you should know about the benefits of these treatments and how to achieve optimal results.

Injectable facial fillers can be an ideal way of restoring smoother, less wrinkled skin if you are frustrated with pesky wrinkles or loss of facial contours. These injections are substances introduced beneath the surface to add plumpness or lift to thinning or deflated areas where creases and hollows have formed. Considering their versatility, they are a quick, simple way to prepare for the holidays—which is certainly appealing to anyone stressed by a busy schedule!

If you have a special holiday party or event coming up, be sure to schedule fillers at least two weeks in advance to allow plenty of time for any bruising or swelling to subside. The results last for six months or more, so if you get them done in December, you will enjoy the results well into the new year.

Fillers injected into the undereye area can help create a more alert appearance, while fillers such as VOLBELLA® create a firmer, more youthful, and smoother appearance for the lips. VOLUMA® is a thicker filler that can restore lifted, rounder cheeks for a more balanced face. Hyaluronic acid fillers such as these have the advantage of adding volume that is visible right away with minimal side effects and downtime

Contact our team at The Well Lounge for answers to questions about how aesthetic treatments can fit in with the holidays. Call us at 215-360-3940 or fill out a contact form to schedule a consultation and discuss skin rejuvenation options for the season.
