Skin Laxity Reduction

SECRET™ RF from CUTERA®

Secret™ RF is a novel approach to delivering fractional radiofrequency (RF) energy to all layers of the skin with minimal damage to the skin's surface. The multi-layered treatment is tailored to each individual and addresses their unique skin problem during each customized treatment. The Secret™ RF treatment is ideal for improving aging skin, photodamage, fine lines and wrinkles on the face and neck, scars, acne scars, skin quality and stretch marks. Secret™ RF is an easy, safe and effective procedure that can be performed in a rapid 15-minute treatment session. Patients typically need 3-4 treatments separated by 4-6 weeks to achieve optimal results. This is not only great to treat laxity and the loss of collagen from aging but also to prevent fine lines and wrinkles.

How many treatment sessions are needed?

Generally 3 sessions are required being the second session performed after a month. However upon consultation with the medical provider, your skin will be assessed and depending on each individual more sessions may be recommended. Also the amount of sessions depend on the area being treated and severity of the skin laxity, scar or any other concern treatable with this technology.

Post-recovery and results

Secret™ RF uses microneedles to deliver RF energy to different levels of the skin, including the deeper layers where treatment is most beneficial. Unlike other devices that only deposits energy into the top layer of skin. Secret™ RF sends RF energy below the surface where it is needed most to help revitalize and regenerate tissue. This unique delivery of energy allows the individual to achieve optimal results with little to no downtime on all skin types. When treating body areas the downtime although is only an aesthetic downtime, may take 1 week and below the waist may take about 3-4 weeks. All you will see is pinpoint spots from the needles which are not easily noticed. The specialist may combine the treatment with topical creams as needed for a faster and more precise result. They are optimized 3 months after the last treatment and vary according to the individual. Maintenance treatments are recommended every 12 months for maintenance.

Non lifting threads

Description

Non-lifting threads are a type of treatment for skin laxity that is performed in a med spa. The procedure uses polydioxanone (PDO) threads that are inserted into the skin using a very fine needle. Non-lifting threads are threads that are designed to be inserted into the skin and remain in place, helping to stimulate collagen production and improve skin elasticity. The threads are not removed after being inserted, but gradually degrade over time and dissolve in the body. This treatment is used to improve the appearance of the skin in areas such as the neck, cheeks, forehead and lip contour.

Post-recovery and Results

Results are seen at about 8 weeks, we are looking for skin rejuvenation and lifting effect from collagen formation in the area. You may feel some discomfort because there are small threads in the area but as these adjust. Once healed you won't feel a thing. Patients may return to normal activities right away, except for anything that can cause sweating or requires heavy lifting at least for the next 72 hours. We will provide for more post- procedure instructions the day of the treatment.

CORTEX™ CO2 Fractional Skin Resurfacing

Description

The Cortex™ laser system is secure and productive being preferred by patients and professionals as the laser of choice. The Cortex™ delivers excellent treatment results for wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, sun damage, skin texture irregularities and pigmented lesions. The Cortex laser will direct a grid pattern of small pulses of light to the skin. Each pulse releases a column of energy that can reach the dermal layer of the skin. This stimulates a natural renewal process of the body's own collagen. In addition, because the laser beam has been fractionated, small areas of untreated skin will remain between the treated points. By strategically performing the procedure in this manner, the healing process is accelerated.

Benefits and Areas that can be treated

Wrinkles Irregularities in skin texture Pigmented lesions Fine lines Acne scars Sun damage Warts

Post-recovery and Results

Results can be seen in a month time however optimal results are at 3-4 months, this is how long it takes for a healthy individual to generate collagen. More than one session may be needed depending on different factors like severity of condition and patients skin type. CO2 Laser has been in the market for a very long time and has proven to dramatically improve the skin texture, pigment, laxity, fine lines and wrinkles. Downtime with CO2 laser is an average of 2 weeks.

Agnes RF

Description

Agnes RF is an unique non-surgical radiofrequency (RF) platform that can sculpt and contour the face, neck, chin and other small areas of the body. This treatment creates more youthful-looking skin by stimulating collagen and elastin production, providing unparalleled, long-lasting results without the need for surgery. As a stand-alone treatment or used in combination with other modalities, Agnes RF provides the precision needed to customize results for patients of all ages and skin types. The precision of the Agnes RF system is in the needles. With 9 separate types of single or triple needles, the cosmetic provider can customize the necessary treatment that the patient simply can't get with any other microneedle devices. RF energy generates a tissue response without damaging the epidermis, causing localized injury that the body replaces with new tissue. This makes the skin look lifted and much smoother.

After receiving Agnes RF, there may be some bruising and pinpoint crusting, which can be treated with an ice pack to reduce swelling or discomfort, and do not forcefully touch or rub the treated area. For acne treatments, the individual can expect mild redness for up to three days, and can resume the normal makeup routine after 3 days. Avoid deep exfoliation or retinol products for 7 to 10 days after treatment. Most patients experience immediate results with visibly smoother and softer skin. Because the growth of new collagen and elastin fibers takes time. The results will continue to improve to measurable levels within 2 to 3 months, peaking at around 6 months.
