How does Microneedling work?

Micro Needling creates tiny punctures in the skin that are too small to damage the tissue, but enough to stimulate a healing response in your skin. As part of this healing response, your skin cells and collagen fibers regenerate themselves. Collagen is responsible for strength and elasticity in your skin. As we age, our bodies produce less collagen, which causes our skin to crease and sag. Rebuilding collagen can also help repair textural concerns on the surface, such as enlarged pores and mild scarring. MicroNeedling also helps the growth factor serum to penetrate the skin. Growth factors are natural proteins that stimulate tissue growth and repair. They aid the healing response produced by Micro Needling.

‍

What does a Microneedling treatment involve?

First, your skin will be cleansed and gently exfoliated. Then, a trained professional will apply a hydrating serum and carefully glide the MicroNeedling pen over the surface of your skin. You may opt for using growth factor serum or PRF ( which is your own body cells used to promote skin rejuvenation) is applied after the needling is performed so it can sink in through the micro penetration points.

‍

How long does a Microneedling treatment take?

About 20-30 minutes for the full face.

‍

What are the results from Microneedling?

Results appear gradually as your skin needs time to heal and collagen can take time to rebuild, however, you may notice a slightly plumped and glowing appearance the day after your treatment as the healing process has begun. Overall, MicroNeedling with Growth Factors as PRF can help reduce fine lines, refine large pores, reduce mild surface scarring and improve the overall texture and tone of your skin.

‍

How many Microneedling sessions do I need?

Some results can be seen after one treatment, but depending on the nature of your skin, you may require regular treatments to maintain results.

‍

Will the hair be permanently removed?

Most people experience hair removal that lasts several months, for some it might last for years. But laser hair removal doesn't guarantee permanent hair removal. When hair regrows, it's usually finer and lighter in color. You might need maintenance laser treatments for long-term hair reduction.

‍

How many visits does hair removal require?

It depends on your individual needs, for best results most people need 4-8 treatments.

‍

What happens during laser hair removal?

Before the treatment, the area to be treated will be cleansed. Some patients receive a numbing gel. Numbing the area to be treated helps when a small area will be treated and the skin is very sensitive. Everyone in the room must wear protective eyewear during the procedure. To perform the procedure, the skin is held taut and the skin is treated with the laser. Many patients say that the laser pulses feel like warm pinpricks or a rubber band being snapped against the skin. A laser removes hair by vaporizing it. This causes small plumes of smoke that have a sulfur-like smell.

‍

How should I prepare for laser hair removal?

We want you to shave the day before the treatment to avoid any skin irritation on the day of treatment. Come in for your treatment with clean skin (no lotions or makeup).

‍

What are the risks of removing hair by laser?

Our lasers are incredibly safe, and you’re treated by trained laser technicians. We provide eye protection and take all necessary precautions so your treatments are effective, yet safe. Laser hair removal is a simple procedure and there’s almost no recovery time so you can return to work, apply makeup or be active immediately after your treatment. We only ask that you wear sunscreen to protect the treated area.

‍

What must I do after getting laser hair removal?

To avoid possible side effects, all patients need to protect their skin from the sun. Do not use a tanning bed, sun lamp, or any other indoor tanning equipment. A few individuals may see some redness and swelling after treatment. This often looks like a mild sunburn. Applying a cool compress can help reduce your discomfort.

‍

‍When will I see the results after having laser hair removal?

You will likely see the results immediately after treatment. The results vary from patient to patient. The color and thickness of your hair, area treated, type of laser used, and color of your skin all affect the results. You can expect a 10% to 25% reduction in hair after the first treatment.

Is there downtime?

No, laser hair removal generally does not require any real downtime. Immediately after having laser hair removal, your treated skin will be red and swollen. Despite this, most people return to their everyday activities.

‍

How long will the results of laser hair removal last?

Most patients remain hair free for months or even years. When some of the hair regrows, it will likely be less noticeable. To keep the area free of hair, a patient may need maintenance laser treatments.

‍

When is it safe to have another laser treatment for hair removal?

This varies from patient to patient. Removing hair often requires a series of laser treatments. Most patients can have laser hair removal once every 3 to 4 weeks.

‍

What is Fotona 4D?

Fotona 4D is a multimodality, 4-step laser treatment that helps to tighten, brighten, lift and smooth aging, uneven or blemished skin.

‍

Step 1, also known as Smooth Lifting targets nasolabial folds (smile lines) by directing the laser inside the mouth and to the external skin around the mouth, lips and cheeks to regenerate collagen at every layer.
Step 2, also known as Frac 3 delivers microsecond energy pulses into the skin to reduce imperfections. The energy helps to refine pores for improved skin texture and reduce dilated capillaries to reduce redness.
Step 3, also known as Fotona Piano or SkinTight, applies a controlled bulk heating to the deeper layers of the skin to contract the collagen fibers and stimulate collagen regeneration to tighten, lift and strengthen the skin for a more youthful appearance.
Step 4, also known as the Erbium Peel, provides gentle exfoliation and creates a micro healing response in the superficial layer of your skin. It reveals a healthy new layer of skin cells and a touchable softness.
‍

How does Fotona4D work?

Fotona4D can reduce fine lines, tighten, lift and strengthen sagging skin, reduce redness and large pores, and improve skin texture and tone for a smoother, younger, more even and radiant complexion.

‍

How long does a Fotona4D treatment take?

The full treatment is about 1 hr.

‍

When will I start to see results?

Results vary according to the skin type and texture, most patients will see some results right away as the collagen contracts and tightens the skin. Further skin tightening and brightening results will appear gradually over 2-3 months as collagen takes time to regenerate and rebuild itself, and your skin cells take time to turn over. Full results can be expected around 2-3 months after treatment.

‍

Which areas can be treated?

Fotona4D was designed to treat the face and neck.
‍

Are there any side effects or downtime from Fotona 4D?

There is no downtime associated with this treatment and you can return to your regular activities right away. In some very rare cases, there may be some mild blistering inside the cheek, but this is not very common, and it heals normally within a few days. You may have some mild redness immediately after treatment, but this can be covered with mineral makeup.

‍

Does Fotona 4D treatment hurt?

There may be some mild discomfort during the first step of this treatment, but it is generally well tolerated. The other steps are relatively comfortable. Most clients report a warming or tingling sensation on the skin.

‍

How is Fotona 4D compared to other skin treating treatments?

The two main differences are in the modalities and the type of energy used. Fotona4D involves four different modalities; two to tighten skin and two to improve surface texture and skin tone, so it’s like four different treatments in one. Additionally, our other skin tightening treatments use ultrasound or radiofrequency energy while Fotona4D uses laser energy. Ultrasound skin tightening can provide more powerful skin tightening results, but the benefit with Fotona 4D is that results can be seen sooner, and you benefit from improved surface texture and tone.

‍

Is there any prepping or after care?

There is no prepping or aftercare required. We may recommend that you take extra caution with the sun for a few days following treatment by applying sunscreen. Stay Hydrated.
