Top 3 Non-Surgical Treatments to Be Bikini Body Ready

Even in our sunny state of Florida there is still "bikini season" which usually begins in March for us.  Everyone wants to look their best in a bikini as you can't hide any flaws when you're nearly naked!  Fortunately there are some non-surgical aesthetic treatments that men and women can utilize to look their very best in a swimsuit.  All of these along with a healthy diet & exercise will have you looking like a "beach babe" in no time.  Here are some of our favorite body treatments we use at our Orlando medical spa Winter Park Laser.
Top 3 Non-Surgical Treatments to be bikini body ready
#1 Laser Hair Removal: Who wants to worry about stubble, redness, or ingrown hairsaround your bikini line or underarms?
Laser Hair Removal will eliminate stubble & ingrowns  and will give you permanent relief after 6 treatments. How it works: Laser hair removal works by directing concentrated beams of filtered light to a group of hair follicles, using enough power to disable or destroy the root responsible for hair growth without harming the surrounding skin.  Treatments are once every 4-7 weeks as hair growth cycles differ on various body parts and requires no down-time. After just one treatment you will see an immediate improvement as the hair grows in thinner.
#2 Velashape II Cellulite Reduction: Cellulite is caused by hereditary issues, stress, water retention, and other factors that make it difficult to treat with exercise and diet alone.
Powered by the revolutionary elos™ Technology utilizing bi-polar radio frequency, it treats the deeper tissue, offering a measurable reduction in fat layers, circumference and the upper layers of the skin, resulting in cellulite reduction, the smoothing of the skin’s tone and texture, inches lost, and noticeable reshaping of the treated area in 5-6 treatments. An infrared thermometer is used to ensure your body heats up to 104 degrees-the temperature it takes to melt fat. Many clients describe the treatments as feeling like a warm deep tissue massage.  You will be dimple free in 5 weeks running down the beach!
#3 TruSculpt Fat Reduction & Body Sculpting: Sometimes areas like the abdomen and love handles are hard to reduce the stubborn fat.  TruSculpt helps make it easier so you can say goodbye one piece, hello 2 piece.
TruSculpt™ is the first RF Non-invasive procedure to give permanent surgical type results, previously only available through cosmetic surgery. Using radio frequencies, the practitioner deep-heats tissue over large areas of the body. This treatment is similar to coolsculpting by Zeltiq but offers more visible results with less pain.
In only 2-3 treatments, patients can quickly see permanent results in their appearance, such as smaller mass, tighter skin and less dimpling. TruSculpt™ can be used on any area where fat deposits can accumulate, such as around the buttocks, thighs, love handles, back, or abdomen.

Fall Skincare Tips for Glowing Skin

While you change your wardrobe and foot wear with the seasons it is important to remember to change your skin-care routine and products with the seasons as well.  Your skin adapts with the season changes and your skin-care products should follow suit.  I am a lead consultant at an Orlando Medical Spa-Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging so part of my job is to recommend the best products and when you should you use them.
Here are my top Fall Skincare Tips for Glowing Skin
#1 Exfoliate! 
Over the summer you accumulated a lot of superficial sun damage and pigmentation therefore it is important to exfoliate your skin in order to reduce pigment as well as break down dead skin cell build up, clean out your pores, and tighten your pores.  The #1 way to exfoliate is with a chemical peel.  Chemical peels can come in light, medium, and strong peels and range between light flaking to days of peeling. In this treatment, a chemical solution is applied to the skin, which makes it  eventually peel off revealing fresh skin. The new skin is tighter, less porous, brighter and smoother.  If you can't make it to your local medical spa for a chemical peel, then an at home scrub or product with Alpha Hydroxy Acid or Beta Hydroxy Acid will help as well.
#2 Still Wear a SPF in your Moisturizer everyday!
Even though you may not be at the beach in the Fall or it might even start snowing you are still exposed to sun.  When you walk to your car, drive your car, rake the leaves you are still accumulating sun exposure and damage.  It is important to stick to a moisturizer with a minimum spf 30 full broad spectrum UVA/UVB.
#3 Switch your moisturizer to a heavier daytime moisturizer or add a night-time moisturizer.
During the summer your skin tends to be more oily and a lighter moisturizer is necessary.  When the seasons change your skin typically becomes dryer which means to keep that sweet summer glow you need more hydration.  This is when you should switch to a thicker daytime moisturizer with SPF or add a nighttime moisturizer such as Skinmedica's Dermal Repair.

How Latisse Makes You look Younger

After running a medical spa in Orlando-Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center for 10 years I have seen my share of cosmetic products hit the market over the years.  However, my favorite product by far has been LATISSE®.  LATISSE® is a Prescription grade cosmetic product created by Allergan.  LATISSE® (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.03% was created for women and men dealing with hypertrichosis (a lack of lashes).  I want to address how Latisse makes you look younger.
How Latisse Makes you look younger:
When you use Latisse for at least 16 weeks it is clinically proven to make your lashes up to 25% longer, 106% fuller, and 18% darker.  While all of these are benefits it also makes you look younger.  Latisse makes you look younger because lashes are naturally thinner and shorter when you are older, and they are full and long when you are young.  So when you reverse this process, the look of longer, fuller lashes gives a more youthful appearance.
Latisse makes you look younger because when there is focus on long, luxurious lashes it takes focus away from wrinkles around the eye.  It also makes the eyes look brighter.

Laser Hair Removal Benefits

Laser hair removal is a treatment that has not been available for nearly 2 decades but still seems like a "new concept" to a lot of women and men.  After giving consultations on laser hair removal at our Orlando medical spa Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center I have found that there are many additional benefits to laser hair removal that many people still don't know about.  Here are laser hair removal benefits that I think everyone should be aware of and not just the obvious of shaving less.
Top laser hair removal benefits you didn't think about:
#1 Laser Hair Removal will eliminate ingrown hairs (folliculitis) on any area of the body. 
Folliculitis occurs when hair follicles get trapped and become infected.  Laser hair removal thins out the  hair by destroying fully developed hair follicles by 15-25% each treatment.  This means that the ingrown hairs should stop occurring within 1-3 treatments of laser hair removal.  This is extremely beneficial for darker skin types with thick coarse or curly hair that are more prone to ingrown hairs and folliculitis.
#2 Laser hair removal can lessen hyper-pigmentation (excess pigmented spots) scarring caused by ingrown hairs.
Laser hair removal looks for pigment in the hair follicle to destroy the follicles.  However, if there is excess pigmentation (hyper-pigmentation) on the area treated that was caused from ingrowns it will absorb the laser light and be destroyed.  So this is a huge benefit people don't realize.
#3 The time you will save.
Laser hair removal will give you back time to do more important things.  A recent survey said the average time a woman spends shaving her legs over a lifetime is 72 days!  Not to mention the time women spend driving to the waxing center and having a way every month for 50 years.  Laser hair removal is about a 6-9 month commitment out of a lifetime.

Which Skincare Products are Most Important to Use

Throughout the years the cosmetic and beauty industry has produced thousands of various skin-care products and with them have come various ideals as to what products are necessary and how many products a woman or man should truly be using.  Is it really necessary to use 10 products a day?  Probably not.  After running a medical spa-Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center in Orlando for 10 years we have found what skincare products are most important for our clients to maintain their cosmetic procedure results.
Here are the Top Important Skincare Products Necessary for good skin:
#1 Daily Cleanser: It is important to use a soap free cleanser that is not going to absorb too much oil.  It is important to cleanse your skin twice a day, if you only have time for once a day make it at night as this is when your skin has the most build up, dirt and oil. Winter Park Laser Favorite Cleansers: Glytone Mild Gel Wash, and Skinmedica Facial Cleanser.
#2 Weekly Exfoliator: This is one product everyone should invest in and use once a week.  It is important to exfoliate the skin to remove dead skin cells, stimulate collagen and prevent pores being clogged with impurities which create breakouts.
Winter Park Laser Favorite Exfoliators: Skinmedica Skin Polisher, and Glytone Boost Mask
#3 Daily Retinol: Any woman or man over the age of 30 should own a good Rx grade Retinol. Retinol is vitamin A derivatives that unclog pores, boost collagen to reduce fine lines, and speed cell turnover to even out discoloration and smooth the skin—sometimes in as little as four weeks.
Winter Park Laser Favorite Retinols: Skinmedica Retinols .25, .50, & 1.0
#4 Daily Moisturizer with SPF 20 or Stronger: It is important to hydrate your skin daily even if you have oily skin.  If you don't hydrate your skin it can over-produce oil or become dry, cracked and show more wrinkles.  It is also extremely important to wear an SPF minimum 20 everyday even when you aren't in "direct sun" as you still get sun while driving, walking to the car, etc.
Winter Park Laser Favorite Moisturizers: Skinmedica Ultra Sheer for Oily Skin, and Skinmedica TNS Daily Moisturizer with SPF 20 for normal skin.
#5 Daily Eye Cream: The skin around your eyes is 30% thinner and therefore is the first area to form wrinkles and needs additional hydration that regular facial moisturizers can not provide.  It is important to find a physician grade eye cream that is hydrating, and has special ingredients to counteract wrinkles and dark circles.
Winter Park Laser Favorite Eye Cream: Skinmedica TNS Eye Repair
#6 Daily Growth Factor: As you age you lose 20% of collagen every year with your skin only naturally replacing 4% so it is important to have a growth factor serum that will rebuild collagen and elastyn in the skin.
Winter Park Laser Favorite Growth Factor: Skinmedica TNS Essential Serum, and Skinmedica TNS Recovery Complex.

Why Latisse in Orlando Grows in Popularity

Latisse Orlando

Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center (Orlando medical spa) has been offering Latisse in the Orlando area for over 6 years and finds that the request by clients for Latisse has grown with popularity significantly every year.   LATISSE^® is the first and only FDA-approved prescription treatment for inadequate or not enough eyelashes, growing them longer, fuller and darker.  Since it became FDA approved in the United States in 2001 LATISSE^® has had a huge buzz around it for lashes.
In Orlando there used to be a large focus on eyelash extensions but since the approval of LATISSE^® that has decreased as women and men can increase the growth of their own lashes naturally.  LATISSE^® is able to create lash growth because of its active ingredient: bimatoprost. Although the precise mechanism of action is unknown, LATISSE^® is believed to affect the growth (anagen) phase of the eyelash hair cycle in two ways: first, it increases the length of this phase, and second, it increases the number of hairs in this growth phase.  First used in patients for Glaucoma the effects on lashes were discovered and patented.
LATISSE^® solution  is a prescription product available in orlando at Winter park Laser and is applied topically 1 time per day on clean skin to the base of your upper eyelashes. Then, gradually, the results come in. You may start to see more length in as little as 4 weeks and you should achieve full growth in 16 weeks. The results are thicker, darker, and longer lashes.

Winter Anti-Aging Skincare Tips

Every season can bring changes to your skin. Therefore it is important to switch up your skin-care routine for every season but especially for Winter which can bring dryness, roughness, and other conditions to the skin. To keep slow down signs of aging follow these tips for Winter Anti-Aging Skincare Tips. Winter Anti-Aging Skincare Tips: #1 Always wear a sunscreen preferably in your moisturizer. People have a tendency to stop wearing an spf in the Winter but the truth is that your skin gets sun all year long. Many people don't realize that you get sun even while you are driving, hence why the left side of your face typically has more sun damage than the right side. It is important to wear a moisturizer with a minimum SPF 30 that is full broad spectrum UVA/UVB. The best anti-aging routine is to always wear a sunscreen as sun damage accounts for 90% of signs of aging. I like the SkinMedica Daily Defense SPF 30. #2: Add a night-time moisturizer In the winter season the weather can cause dryness to the skin. Even if you have only used a daytime moisturizer, the Winter is a good time to consider adding a night time moisturizer this will give your skin the extra hydration it needs. If the skin is dry and gets a dehydrated look it tends to appear older than hydrated skin. I prefer night-time moisturizers that contain shea butter. #3: Give your hands better hydration The hands can be one of the first of areas to show age and they get the most wear-they are constantly being washed, dried with soap etc. The skin on your hands is thinner than on most parts of the body and has fewer oil glands. That means it's harder to keep your hands moist, especially in cold, dry weather. This can lead to itchiness, cracking, and eventually wrinkles. It is important to use moisturizers and sunscreen on your hands as well as your face. For more information on Winter Anti-Aging Skincare Tips go to www.winterparklaser.com

TruSculpt Gives Your Lipo Results without Surgery

While, we have run our Medical Spa Winter Park Laser in Orlando for a decade now we are always amazing with how much technology improves for cosmetic treatments every year. We have offered body sculpting for 10 years but most of the machines we have used were good but didn't offer a permanent effect. So we set out this year to look for something new. We found the TruSculpt machine by Cutera and myself & the owner tried 2 treatments each on our abdomens-our results were amazing! TruSculpt literally makes it look like you had lipo-but with no surgery or down-time! This treatment typically takes 2 treatments a few weeks apart and literally destroys fat cells! What to expect from a TruSculpt™ Session A hand-held electrode is passed over a portion of skin, and a gentle pulsation of radio frequencies are emitted. Each pulse lasts about 4 minutes, and the entire process can take less than an hour. These RFs penetrate and gently heat the skin’s deepest layers while leaving the epidermis cool. This is an extremely tolerable treatment, as the outer temperature can be adjusted manually for comfort and there are also no harmful side effects or downtime from the procedure. The raised temperature stimulates cells, targeting areas of fat, and creates apoptosis or slow fat cell death. The fat eliminating process begins with the truSculpt treatment, but once activated it continues on its own for months. After about 8 weeks, a follow-up visit and application is usually recommended to complete the procedure. The benefits of TruSculpt Studies have shown that heating the subcutaneous tissues at 45° C stimulates fat cells, resulting in a 60% loss in viability. TruSculpt is safe for all skin types and can be used for men and women. A good candidate for the procedure is someone with a BMI of 30 or less, but a consultation at a reputable medical spa will determine if it’s right for you.

Gifting Botox & Aesthetic Procedures is in

While our Orlando medical Spa has been in business for 10 years, this year has been the busiest for Aesthetic Procedure Gift Cards. Clients are asking Santa to put Botox in their stocking this year. A recent Survey done by researchers at American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS), shows that gifting botox is becoming a latest trend among women and men. We are seeing a surge in "Aesthetic Procedure" Gift CArds mainly for Botox, and Dermal Fillers. Buying a syringe of Juvederm Ultra Plus which is a hyulornic acid filler to give back volume in lips, cheeks, and deep smile lines is extremely popular. Currently are most popular Holiday Gift Package being purchased as a gift is the "Santa Doesn't like Sun Damage" which includes a Medical Grade Vitalize chemical peel, an Intense Pulsed Light Photofacial and a Lytera Skincare Kit containing four products to remove sun damage for a total of $600. The other extremely popular gift this Holiday Season is laser hair removal. As laser hair removal has become a "household" term I guess it only makes sense to give your loved one the gift of not shaving or waxing. Our $450 for 6 underarm laser hair removal treatments has been selling like hotcakes. Latisse has been extremely popular as purchasing for Holiday gifts as well and clients are gifting this to themselves! So, still thinking what to gift your loved ones this season? If you are not too tight on your budget gifting these aesthetic procedures is not a bad idea after all.

Top 3 Reasons to Use LATISSE®

Latisse® has become a big "buzz" word in the beauty industry for women and some men. So why is it so popular? It's so popular because it works-LATISSE® is the only cosmetic with a 100% patient satisfaction in clinical trials. The lash industry is a big empire because women love long lashes. It works because LATISSE® is the only product approved by the U.S. food and Drug Administration to achieve fuller, thicker growth of the upper eyelashes. LATISSE® can give you many benefits and we are going to list the top three reasons to use LATISSE®. Top 3 Reasons to use Latisse: #1 It will make you look younger. Studies have shown that women who used Latisse alone looked younger-because it takes the emphasis off the wrinkles or sagging skin around the eyes. Longer, thicker, darker lashes make the eyes look brighter & give a sense of youth because women always have more lashes when they are younger as they naturally lose them in mature age. #2 It is a more permanent solution to lash extensions, mascara, and temporary lash treatments. LATISSE® results in the growth of new lashes, which are thicker and fuller, and often darker, than your normal lashes. Used regularly, thicker, fuller lash growth will continue for as long as the product is used. #3 It looks amazing! Who doesn't look better with longer, thicker, darker eye lashes? The answer is nobody! Latisse will make lashes more than 40% thicker, darker, & longer. I have never had anyone purchase it and regret it-it can make a huge difference in your appearance.

How To Cure Your "Tired Looking Eyes"

glytone eye peel Are people always asking you "why do you look so tired", "were you up late" or do you look in the mirror and constantly see dark circles under your eyes that worsen with age. If you do, you are not alone. "Dark under eye-circles", hollows, & bags are common concerns for men and women and we hear them all the time in consultations at our Orlando Medical Spa-Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center. Well, the good news is that we can give you advice on how to cure your "tired Looking Eyes" to make them looking rested & brighter again! Cure #1: Dermal Filler Belotero Balance-the dermal filler of choice to fill in tear troughs (the shallow area under the eyes) & eliminate dark circles. Belotero works by replacing lost volume to the contours of the trough, thereby eliminating the shadow that's creating the darkness in the first place. Typically this only takes one syringe of Belotero and is painless as the area can be topically numbed & lidocaine is added to the syringe. This will instantly make you look years younger & brighten up your eyes. The results last approximately 1 year. Cure #2: Eye-Lift Chemical Peels: There are now mild chemical peels created specifically for around the eyes to treat wrinkles and dark circles. Our favorite is the EnerPeel for eyes from Glytone which is a series of 4 20 minute peels (1 every 2-3 weeks). This chemical peel should only be applied by a medical aesthetician. This peel is a combination of TCA & lactic acids to give a Significant increase in skin firmness around eyes and lips, Decreasefine lines, wrinkles and coarse crow's feet around eyes and lips & Decrease dark circles. Cure #3: Laser Eye-Lift: Laser Skin Resurfacing can be extremely effective in 1 treatment with combo-ablative laser resurfacing. Fractional ablative wrinkle treatment from Palomar uses beams of laser light that penetrates skin to just the right depth and with just the right level of heat to evoke a dramatic healing response that promotes collagen production, diminishing the appearance of fine lines. So here you have 3 ways to cure "tired looking eyes" and look 10 years younger without surgery. For more information on under eye treatments go to www.winterparklaser.com

Top 3 Fall Skin-Care Tips

Just as you change your wardrobe for Fall you have to adjust your skin-care routine as well. Every season brings changes to your skin and therefore you need to reassess the products and cosmetic treatments that you are using and think about switching them up each season. As Skin-Care experts at our Orlando medical spa Winter Park Laser&Anti-Aging Center we like to keep our clients up to date by educating them on the proper skin-care routine for each season based on their skin needs. Here are our top 3 Fall Skin-Care Tips Fall SKIN-CARE TIPS: TIP #1: Reassess your body wash. You'll want to find a shower gel that is soap-free as well as hydrating, try a cream not a gel wash. We like Avene Trixera wash. You also want to make sure that you are using a lotion everyday. Even if you drink a lot of water your skin needs outside hydration as well. Look for a body moisturizer with shea butter\r\n for extra hydration. TIP #2: Switch your Moisturizer. If you have been using a light weight moisturizer in the summer you might want to switch to a thicker creamier moisturizer or add a night time moisturizer. We like SkinMedica Dermal Repair cream for night-it has shea butter and vitamin A for extra hydration & silky skin. Your daytime moisturizers should still have an SPF because even when you are driving or it is cold you are getting sun exposure. It is important to moisturize everyday even if you have acne. We like Skinmedica Ultra Sheer Moisturizer as it doesn't clog your pores and feels great. TIP #3: Analyze your skin. Those who are normally oily might become normal, and those who are normally normal could turn oily. Find a skin-care expert such as an Aesthetician, medical spa or Dermatologist to help get you on the correct medical grade products for your skin.

FDA approves Allergan’s Botox to treat crow’s feet

If you have been noticing that your eyes tell your age, here’s a new cosmetic development that you may apply to you. Federal regulators at the FDA finally have approved Botox Cosmetic injections to treat crow’s\r\n feet (the wrinkles around the eyes). The FDA declared Wednesday 9/11 that Allergan’s Botox Cosmetic injection is the first cosmetic drug approved to treat the wrinkles and fine lines that form on the around the eyes. Allergan studied the use of the drug in 833 adults with crow’s feet who randomly received Botox Cosmetic or a sham injection. Patients who received Botox Cosmetic had fewer visible wrinkles than those who received the placebo injection. The most common side effects although rare seen in patients were slight swelling and mild pin-point bleeding at the injection site. Botox Cosmetic works by blocking the connections between nerves and muscle, temporarily relaxing muscles to make wrinkles less prominent. Botox Cosmetic is a purified form of botulinum and has had the most safety case studies of any other cosmetic\r\n injection in the world over the past fifteen years. Orlando Medical Spa Winter Park Laser has been injecting Botox Cosmetic for 7 years and is excited to finally have the FDA approval to treat crow's feet as this is a common concern amongst women and men. Men love their "Brotox" injections. For more information go to http://www.winterparklaser.com/services/dermal-fillers-orlando/botox/

How to Say Good Bye to Crow's Feet

The skin around the eyes tends to wrinkle first because it is thinner than the rest of the skin on the face by 30%. It also wrinkles more easily because of sun damage, squinting & dehydration. So it is no surprise that "crows feet" or wrinkles around the eye is a common concern & complaint among women and men around the world and in our Orlando medical Spa-Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center. Fortunately there are several ways to say good bye to crow's feet for good. The first important step is a hydrating eye cream-preferably one that is medical grade as it will actually penetrate to the dermis. We like Skinmedica TNS Eye Repair-human Growth factors and peptides work in synergy to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. A great eye cream will keep the area hydrated and help with the fine lines. One of the most instantly gratifying ways to treat crow's feet is with Botox Cosmetic. This is especially good if you squint a lot or have had a lot of sun damage. Botox Cosmetic relaxes the wrinkles around the eyes allowing the wrinkles to cease and prevents the wrinkles from getting worst as the muscles can't be made stronger. If one is looking for a more permanent solution-Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing will completely resurface the area & minimize the wrinkles. We prefer combo ablative laser resurfacing. Fractional ablative wrinkle treatment uses beams of laser light that penetrates skin to just the right depth and with just the right level of heat to evoke a dramatic healing response that promotes collagen production, diminishing the appearance of fine lines around the eyes http://www.winterparklaser.com/services/fractional-laser-resurfacing/.

Top 3 Cosmetic Treatments for Men

Over the past decade the cosmetic treatments requested & performed on men have increased by 56% as women are no longer the only ones reaping the benefits of non-invasive cosmetic procedures. At our Orlando medical spa-Winter Park Laser, we have seen an increase of at least 20% each year for the past few years. While, men are partaking in all cosmetic & plastic surgery ventures, there are 3 that we see the most often & which have increased by the highest percents in the past few years and they include the following. #1 Brotox: Botox for men has increased by 10% every year in the fast couple of years. This is only natural seeing as how Botox Cosmetic is the #1 cosmetic treatment in the world, so it seems fitting that men only partake in it's glorious benefits as well. Botox Cosmetic is popular because it works. Men tend to have very deep "11's" which are the deep creases in between the eyebrows (the glabellar). Botox can help men in corporate America look younger & stay competitive which is why many CEO's are taking to it. #2 Laser Hair Removal: Many men suffer from painful ingrown hairs in the beard, neck, or bikini area. Laser hair removal can resolve embarrassing red bumps caused by ingrown hairs. The laser destroy hair follicles and thin out the hair ridding the area of ingrown hairs permanently in at little as 2-4 treatments. #3 "Liquid Face-lifts" with dermal fillers: Dermal fillers can help men look younger within 20 minutes with no downtime that would show they have had anything done. Dermal fillers such as Juvederm, Radiesse and Belotero Balance replace volume lost by aging especially in the mid-face/cheek area. By replacing the volume the jowles are lifted and the man looks instantly younger with results lasting around 1 year.

The 3 Top Ways to Remove Sun Damage

Sun Damage Removal with Intense Pulsed Light One of the top issues that are clients come into our Orlando Medical Spa-Winter Park Laser for is sun damage skin including age spots, uneven skin tone, hyper-pigmentation and poor skin texture. Perhaps, it's because our medical spa is in Orlando Florida that we our clients have so much damage but I also think it's a generational issue as more baby boomers are seeing the effects of using baby oil in the 70's and more sun damage emerges with age. Here are the Top 3 Ways to Remove Sun Damage that we use in our Orlando Medical Spa: #1: IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Photo-Facials: Intense pulsed light treatments deliver energy to target and destroy vascular and pigmented lesions associated sun damage, and age spots from face, chest, hands, legs, and arms. During the procedure, the entire treatment area is scanned with an IPL handpiece and treated with multiple passes and customized settings. A noticeable change occurs within 1 treatment, however a series of 3-5 is normally necessary for the best results. The formation of new collagen results in an increase in the elasticity and overall appearance of your skin. Pigmented lesions come to the surface and slough off. Red and blue vessels typically disappear. Sun damage is repaired. The skin simply looks younger, feels tighter and pores appear smaller. #2: Vi Peel from Kalil (chemical Peels): The Vi Peel is safe for all skin types and uses Vitamin C, Phenol (for numbing), Salicylic acid, TCA, Tretinoic Acid (Retin-A) to remove the top layers of sun damaged skin and reveal new fresh skin with a more even skin tone and tighter pores. #3 Pharmaceutical Grade Skin-Care Especially Pigment Lightening Serums such as Hydroquinone: Here is one of our favorites from Glytone http://www.glytone-usa.com/products/learn-more-about-glytone-products/details/category/skin-type/product/clarifying-gel-rx/beauty.html Clarifying Gel, Rx Clarifying Gel, Rx A nighttime gel formulated with 4% Hydroquinone helps to lighten dark patches on the skin For more information on how to remove sun damage contact our Orlando medical spa at www.winterparklaser.com or call (4o7) 601-1185.

An Answer to Rosacea with IPL Photo-Rejuvenation

After operating a medical spa for 9 years-Winter Park laser in Orlando we are still amazed at how many clients suffer with Rosacea every day and don't ever receive relief until they come to our office. Rosacea is a chronic condition causing facial redness and sometimes pimples. Rosacea affects adults and can range from mild to severe. Left untreated it worsens over time and is aggravated by extreme weather, alcohol, stress, and spicy foods. Treatment in the form of topical steroids can aggravate the condition which is what many Dermatologists used to prescribe. After suffering with Rosacea for years those clients have now found a solution-IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Photo-rejuvenation or photo-facials. The IPL helps Rosacea by reducing or eliminating redness and constricting broken capillaries. Palomar® Intense pulsed light treatments use the MaxG hand-piece to deliver energy to target and destroy vascular and pigmented lesions associated with veins, Rosacea, sun damage, and age spots from face, chest, hands, legs, and arms. During the procedure, the entire treatment area is scanned with an IPL handpiece and treated with multiple passes and customized settings. It only takes 20 minutes to treat a full face and requires minimal downtime of slight redness for a few hours. The results can be seen after 1 treatment but normally require a series of 3-5 treatments to achieve desired results. IPL photo-facials can give long lasting relief to Rosacea sufferers with a maintenance treatment of once a year and good skincare habits. For more information go to www.winterparklaser.com
