Four Things Laser Genesis Can Do For You

Many people are curious about laser facials and the benefits that they can derive from one.  There are different types of lasers available that can be used to effectively treat a variety of skin concerns including tighten skin, and improve skin vascularity and pigmentation.  One type of laser that is suitable for almost everyone is Laser Genesis.  This treatment is used extensively in our clinic as a proven, effective method for reducing and improving scars but we will deal with that in a future post.

How Does it Work?

Laser Genesis works by heating the upper dermis which is located well below your skin's surface, Laser Genesis stimulates collagen production.  Additional heat generated in dilated capillaries also works to reduce redness.  This treatment has also been proven to:

1)  Improve fine wrinkles   

2)  Reduce large pore size

3)  Improve skin texture
                                                                                                                                                                 4)  Improve diffuse redness.

Four to six treatments are often recommended for maximum results and this is a treatment that is regularly done by some people every six weeks to maintain optimum regenerative benefits and stave off the signs of ageing.  There is no downtime or side effects other than some possible redness post-treatment that will dissipate after several hours.

How to Glow in the Dull Winter Weather

Winter is now creeping in on us and sadly, many of us feel the effects of the cold harsh weather in our skin.  Dull, sallow skin is common complaint in the cold weather and the timing could not be worse for those who want to look their best during the holiday season.

A facial or a peel are very effective in getting you glowing and looking your best fast.  At Evolution Plastic Surgery Clinic we offer two very different treatments, depending on your skin care needs.

First is the Fire and Ice Facial.  This is one treatment that the staff at the clinic all love and look forward to having!  This very appropriately named facial is designed to treat aging, acne, and hyperpigmentation.  You will feel it working with first the "Fire" portion of the treatment - a resurfacing mask that really does heat up the skin with a fiery treatment that contains a combination of antioxidants, botanical acids, retinol and niacin.  This is followed by the "Ice" treatment - a rejuvenating masque that nourishes, cools and restore's your skin's balance again using hyaluronic acid and aloe vera along with natural extracts.

The other treatment we use is the AFA Clay Peel, a two-step process that will immediately leave your skin feeling younger, softer and tighter.  The first step is an AFA masque designed that draws impurities and prepares the skin for the AFA gel peel, which comes in different strengths, determined by your skin type. This peel is an effective treatment for those with uneven pigmentation, fine lines, or sun-damaged skin.  You will see results immediately but for maximum results, six treatments 2-3 weeks apart are sometimes recommended.

So, if you are looking for a way to get your skin glowing and help you look radiant again, speak to us about one of these quick fixes for facial rejuvenation!

In addition to the surgical suite we perform many non-invasive cosmetic procedures such as injectables (Botox, Xeomin, and fillers).  This is an excellent way to get a non-surgical enhancement for patients who are not ready to undergo a cosmetic surgery procedure or who just want a small enhancement to their appearance.  Some of the most common procedures include Botox to crow's feet or frown lines, fillers to cheeks, marionette lines or jawline, and injections to the hands for a more youthful appearance.

Two laser aestheticians are also available to perform laser treatments to improve scars, pigmentation, reduce fine wrinkles and lines and skin vascularity.
