Discover the benefits of our SkinPen® microneedling, a skin rejuvenation procedure designed to treat acne scars and aging skin. SkinPen ® Microneedling SkinPen ® Microneedling Collagen Inductio n Therapy SkinPen® was awarded “Top Rated Treatment for Acne Scars” and “Top Skin Care Device” in the Aesthetic Everything® 2019 Aesthetic and Cosmetic Medicine Awards. The World’s First FDA-Cleared Microneedling Device The SkinPen is clinically proven to improve the appearance of acne scars in as few as three minimally invasive treatments, 30 days apart. Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation procedure that helps minimize the signs of aging, improve the appearance of acne scars and rejuvenate aging skin. The SkinPen (microneedling device) works by creating thousands of micro-injuries to stimulate your body’s natural wound healing process, while minimizing cellular damage. The result is effective remodeling of acne scar tissue, while keeping the overall structure of the skin intact. The SkinPen can improve fine lines and wrinkles and help you achieve younger looking skin. The treatment has little downtime, is safe for all skin types, and is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device. A light numbing cream can be used to minimize discomfort. PRP To get even more out of your treatment, add a platelet-rich plasma treatment. PRP, or “Liquid Gold” as some refer to it, is a concentration of platelets, growth factors, and plasma processed from your own blood that stimulates cell growth and repair. After your blood is drawn and processed, it is used for treatment with the SkinPen. When used in combination with SkinPen, this procedure is often referred to as a Vampire Facial, which is the gold standard in the aesthetic industry for collagen and elastin production with healing properties.

One thing we have to remind ourselves is that aging is unavoidable. The food we eat and how we treat ourselves can help prevent or even reverse aging. Shielding yourself from destructive chemicals with Vitamin C and a good quality SPF, getting enough rest, relaxation and exercise will all help you keep up a solid shine. Discover the key to looking spectacular and feeling more youthful everyday with these tips: DRINKING WATER: Water acts as a natural face lift as it flushes out toxins. The fact is that skin is an organ which is comprised of cells. Skin cells, similar to some other cells in the body, are comprised of water. Without water, the organs will surely not work at their best. If your skin isn't getting the adequate amount of water, it will lead to dehydration which turns your skin dry, tight and flaky. Since dry skin has less resilience, it is more likely to wrinkle. We require water to survive. GET ENOUGH BEAUTY SLEEP: With regards to your beauty routine, sleep might be the nearest thing there is to a fountain of youth. Your skin restores and repairs itself generally while you are snoozing. Not getting enough rest can prompt chronic on-set illnesses that can shorten life expectancy like type 2 Diabetes. If by chance that your lack of sleep is because of your want to accomplish more every day, consider the time you squander because of fatigue meddling with your productivity. Reset your mentality and your habits and start attempting to get at least 7-8 hours of sleep a night. EXERCISE AND STRESS RELIEF: Recent studies demonstrate that anxiety causes physical changes in the body that can quicken aging. One thing you can do to help lower stress levels is exercise. Exercise increases oxygen circulation and discharges toxins through sweat, which prompts a clearer and firmer skin. Disconnect from problematic individuals and activities in your life and always smile. It's the best exercise for your face. Some other activities to help reinforce your mind and body are: Cardiovascular exercise, Yoga, Strength preparing, Aerobic exercise. These exercises help relieve stress increases circulation, improve posture, greater flexibility, improve mood and rid toxins. You can also visit a spa and get pampered. It’ll help relax your body and distract you from stressful activities. EAT GOOD FOOD: The type of food you eat will affect your general health, so watch what goes into your mouth. Good food is more beneficial to your body and skin than supplements are and eating a wide assortment of super foods expands your odds of retaining the most supplements needed. A balanced diet made up of a wide variety of colorful fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, low-fat dairy products, healthy monounsaturated fats, seeds and nuts, and whole grains is the best for healthy skin. Foods containing vitamins A, C, E and polyphenols need to be part of your daily diet. A commonly overlooked antioxidant you can add into your diet and drink everyday is green tea. Preliminary research shows that green tea may even help prevent Alzheimer's. It was found to decrease the danger of breast cancer and prevent remissions. Now, it's being tried as an approach to help avert bladder, colorectal, and lung tumor recurrence. Overall you are going to want to Minimize your intake of processed foods and sugars. Too much sugar can lead to damaged collagen and elastin, which cause wrinkles. It’s quite advisable to start eating a balanced diet as early as your twenties to fight off mental anxiety and signs of premature aging. USE GOOD QUALITY SKINCARE PRODUCTS: Great results are about selecting the right products and treatments! Here at Studio G Aesthetics we carry PCA skin care products. Their formulation philosophy is to address each skin condition holistically, with products combining the newest and most efficacious ingredients paired with proven, tried and true ingredients to create unparalleled, visible results. We believe the foundation of every healthy skin regimen includes a morning antioxidant, targeted correctives, a broad spectrum SPF, a nighttime retinol and customized professional treatments. DETOXIFICATION: Every day, we are exposed to toxins from air, water and food which cause damage to the body and aging. You can have a glass of water with pressed lemon first thing in the mornings to refresh the body and load up on Vitamin C. You can also increase energy production and eliminate toxins by drinking a quality juice. Or you can find probiotics and prebiotics in certain foods like yogurt or in supplement form. These will help to improve digestion, ease constipation, increase mineral absorption, regulate cholesterol, and strengthen the immune system. EAT HEALTHY FATS: Incorporating foods such as, avocados, olive oil, flax seeds, nuts and fish into your diet is crucial for your skin to appear youthful. Omega-3 unsaturated fats (found in salmon, walnuts, and seeds) help stabilize your mood, maintain bone strength, and help prevent visible signs of aging by reducing inflammation in the body. Eat a lot of fatty fish, for example, wild salmon and walnuts. If you aren't getting enough omega-3 from your diet, consider taking fish-oil supplements. DRINK RED WINE: As indicated by the study's co-lead researcher Rafael de Cabo, PhD, of the National Institute on Aging, Resveratrol found in red wine clearly reduced the risk of diabetes and liver problems in mice, leading to a significant decline in obesity-related deaths. But here's the catch: "You'd have to drink 180 bottles of red wine a day to get the same benefits," says Dr. Roizen. Scientists are recently working to enhance the potency of resveratrol in order to develop a pill that contains the optimum amount of the substance. Meanwhile, there's plenty of evidence that a little red wine can offset a host of health problems. In Conclusion, leading a healthy lifestyle and being mindful of what you put inside and outside your body can ease the effects of aging on our skin. Remembering to drink adequate amounts of water and visiting your local esthetician or physicians office for preventative maintenance and/or specialized concerns.

As more people seek ways to enhance their appearance, non-surgical body contouring methods have garnered considerable attention. These innovative techniques provide alternatives to traditional surgery, allowing individuals to achieve their desired body shape without the need for invasive procedures. In this blog post, we will delve into various non-surgical body contouring options, discuss their effectiveness, and explore how you can decide which method is best for you. What is Non-Surgical Body Contouring and Fat Reduction? Non-surgical body contouring refers to a range of cosmetic procedures aimed at reducing fat deposits, shaping the body, and improving overall aesthetics without incisions or anesthesia. These methods utilize technology and innovative techniques to target specific areas of the body, making them appealing to those who want to enhance their physique without undergoing surgery. Many people are looking for effective solutions for fat reduction without the downtime associated with surgical procedures. Non-surgical options present a convenient alternative, offering benefits such as minimal recovery time and fewer risks associated with anesthesia. Cynosure SculpSure® Non-Invasive Body Contouring Machine Popular Non-Surgical Body Contouring Techniques for Fat Reduction Several non-surgical body contouring techniques are currently available, each using unique methods and technologies to achieve body sculpting. Here is an overview of the most popular options: 1. Cryolipolysis (CoolSculpting) One of the most recognized methods is cryolipolysis, commonly known as CoolSculpting®. This technique freezes fat cells in targeted areas of the body, causing them to undergo apoptosis, or cell death. Over time, the body naturally eliminates these dead cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fat. Patients typically enjoy a significant reduction of up to 25% of fat in the treated area after just one session. Most individuals require multiple sessions for optimal results, and while the process may take a few months to reveal full results, it is a safe procedure with minimal side effects. 2. Radiofrequency (RF) Treatments Radiofrequency treatments utilize energy waves to heat the skin and underlying tissue, leading to collagen production and subsequent skin tightening. This method is often used to smooth and contour areas that may have loose skin due to weight fluctuations or aging. This technique not only aids in fat reduction but also enhances skin tone and texture. Patients usually experience immediate results, and the skin-tightening effects can continue to improve for several months. 3. Laser Fat Reduction (SculpSure) Laser technology is another effective option, with procedures like SculpSure® offering a non-invasive approach to fat reduction. This method uses heat from lasers to destroy fat cells in targeted areas. Patients can achieve noticeable results in as little as 25 minutes per session, making it an efficient choice for busy individuals. For those interested in exploring this option, you can find more information on non-invasive fat reduction . Studio G Aesthetics Client SculpSure ® Results - 3 Sessions 6 weeks apart - Abs and Flanks Does Non-Invasive Body Sculpting Actually Work? The effectiveness of non-invasive body sculpting can vary based on the technique used and the individual’s body composition. Overall, studies and patient testimonials highlight positive outcomes for many who have undergone these treatments. For instance, clinical trials on CoolSculpting have shown that most patients see a significant reduction in stubborn areas of fat. Similarly, SculpSure has been clinically proven to eliminate fat cells safely and effectively without damaging surrounding tissues. However, it's important to maintain realistic expectations. These treatments are not weight loss solutions and may not provide the drastic changes seen with surgical options. Instead, they are designed to target specific fat areas to enhance body contours. Additionally, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and balanced nutrition is crucial for sustaining the results achieved through non-surgical body contouring methods. Aftercare and Recovery for Non-Surgical Procedures Another advantage of non-surgical body contouring methods is the minimal downtime associated with them. Most patients can return to their daily activities immediately following treatment. However, some may experience mild discomfort, swelling, or bruising in the treated areas. To optimize results, patients should follow specific aftercare recommendations provided by their healthcare provider: Hydration : Drinking plenty of water post-treatment can help with the elimination of fat cells. Avoiding intense workouts : For a few days post-procedure, it may be advisable to avoid strenuous exercise to allow the body to recover. Healthy diet : Maintaining a balanced diet can help patients achieve and retain their ideal shapes. SculpSure® Warm-Sculpting Finding the Right Non-Surgical Body Contouring Solution for You If you are considering non-surgical body contouring methods, it is essential to choose a solution that aligns with your goals and body type. Consulting with a qualified professional is crucial for personalized recommendations based on your health history and treatment expectations. During your consultation, the professional will assess your desired areas for contouring, discuss the various techniques available, and help map out a customized treatment plan. Be sure to ask questions and voice any concerns you may have about the procedures to make an informed decision. When selecting a clinic or provider, consider the following factors: Credentials and experience : Look for licensed professionals with extensive training in non-surgical body contouring methodologies. Facility reputation : Research reviews and testimonials from previous clients to gauge their experiences. Customized treatment plans : Ensure the provider takes the time to understand your individual needs and tailors a plan accordingly. Final Thoughts on Non-Surgical Body Contouring Non-surgical body contouring methods offer a range of benefits for those looking to improve their body shape without undergoing surgery. Techniques like cryolipolysis, radiofrequency treatments, and laser fat reduction each provide unique advantages and can lead to satisfying results. With various options available, assessing your goals, understanding the expected outcomes, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle will further enhance your success. If you're ready to explore these options and take a step towards the body you desire, consider reaching out to a professional for guidance tailored to your specific needs.

Skin laser therapies have gained immense popularity over the last decade for their effectiveness in treating various skin issues. These therapies utilize advanced technology to target specific skin concerns such as pigmentation, wrinkles, acne scars, and more. But what exactly is happening on a scientific level during these procedures? In this post, we will explore the underlying mechanisms, benefits, and costs associated with advanced skin laser therapies. Understanding Skin Laser Therapies Skin laser therapies involve the use of focused light energy to treat skin conditions. There are different types of lasers that use varying wavelengths to target specific areas of the skin. The most common lasers used in dermatology include CO2 lasers, Erbium YAG lasers, and Nd:YAG lasers. Each laser type has a unique way of interacting with the skin. For instance, CO2 lasers are primarily used for resurfacing because they effectively remove the outer layers of damaged skin. On the other hand, Nd:YAG lasers penetrate deeper layers and are often used for treating vascular lesions or hair removal. Understanding the type of laser and its specific application is crucial in achieving optimal results. This understanding helps dermatologists choose the right technology based on the patient's skin type and the skin issue being treated. Laser device used in skin laser therapy How Do Laser Therapies Work? Laser therapies work by delivering energy to the skin in concentrated beams. This energy is absorbed by specific skin pigments or tissues, leading to a variety of outcomes depending on the treatment's goal. For example, when laser light hits pigmented cells, it breaks down the excess melanin, which can help in treating hyperpigmentation and age spots. Similarly, when laser treatment targets collagen fibers in the skin, it stimulates the body's natural healing processes, promoting the production of new collagen and elastin. This results in tighter, smoother skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The Healing Process After the procedure, the skin undergoes a natural healing process. In the first few days, you might experience redness and swelling, similar to a mild sunburn. As new skin cells begin to form, you may also notice some peeling as the old skin sloughs off. It might be tempting to rush this process, but it's crucial to allow your skin time to heal properly to achieve the best results. During the healing phase, patients are typically advised to avoid sun exposure, as this can lead to complications and affect the overall results. Proper aftercare and following your dermatologist's guidelines can significantly enhance the outcomes of your treatment. Skin healing after laser therapy How much do laser treatments cost? The cost of laser treatments can vary greatly depending on several factors including the type of laser used, the area being treated, and the clinic’s location. On average, patients can expect to pay anywhere from $200 to $3,000 per session. For smaller areas or less invasive procedures like acne scar removal, prices can range from $200 to $600. More extensive treatments, such as full-face laser resurfacing, can be significantly higher, sometimes reaching upwards of $3,000. It’s also important to note that multiple sessions may be required to achieve the desired results. Thus, patients should consider the total cost over the entire treatment plan when exploring their options. Many clinics offer financing plans to help spread out the cost, making effective treatment more accessible. Benefits of Advanced Laser Therapies The benefits of laser skin therapies extend beyond aesthetic improvements. Here are some compelling advantages: Minimally Invasive : Unlike traditional surgery, laser therapies are non-invasive or minimally invasive, which means less downtime and discomfort for the patient. Targeted Treatment : Laser technology allows for precise targeting of skin imperfections. This means that treatment can be tailored to the individual needs of each patient. Versatility : Lasers can address a wide range of skin issues, including acne scars, age spots, rosacea, and more, making them a versatile option for patients. Long-lasting Results : Many patients experience long-lasting improvements after just a few sessions, making laser therapies a worthy investment. Stimulation of Collagen Production : The heating effect of laser treatments encourages collagen production, which can improve skin elasticity and firmness. Risks and Considerations While advanced skin laser therapies are generally considered safe, they are not without risks. Potential side effects can include discoloration, scars, and infections. It's important for patients to consult with a certified dermatologist who can evaluate their skin type and health history. Patients should also understand their specific treatment goals and have realistic expectations. Factors such as skin tone, the condition being treated, and other individual characteristics can influence the results. Before proceeding with any laser treatment, it’s advisable to have a thorough consultation to discuss any concerns and to determine the most appropriate approach for your skin. Preparing for Your Laser Treatment Preparation is key to ensuring that you get the most out of your laser treatment. Here are some tips to prepare: Consultation : Start with a thorough consultation to discuss your skin concerns and treatment options. Avoid Sun Exposure : Limit sun exposure for at least two weeks prior to your treatment to reduce the risk of complications. Discuss Medications : Inform your dermatologist about any medications or supplements you are taking, as some can increase sensitivity or affect healing. Hydrate and Moisturize : Increasing your water intake and using moisturizers can help keep your skin healthy before the procedure. Follow Pre-Treatment Instructions : Your dermatologist may provide specific instructions tailored to your treatment plan. Be sure to follow them closely. The Future of Skin Laser Therapies As technology continues to advance, the future of laser therapies looks promising. Innovations are being made to improve the safety and effectiveness of these treatments. New devices and techniques are being developed to tackle a wider array of skin concerns with even less downtime. Emerging trends in skincare and beauty, such as personalized treatments based on genetic factors, may also play a significant role in the evolution of laser technologies. Patients can look forward to even more tailored solutions that fit their individual needs. In conclusion, advanced skin laser therapies combine cutting-edge technology with a deep understanding of skin biology. As more individuals seek effective solutions for their skin concerns, staying informed about these therapies and their science can empower patients to make the best choices for their skin health. Whether you're considering treatment or simply curious about the science behind it, understanding these advanced techniques is essential for making informed decisions.
