Why choose BeautiFill?

BeautiFill is what patients everywhere have always wanted fat transfer services to be. However, in traditional fat transfer services, the fat removal was uncomfortable, left loose skin, and required a lengthy surgical recovery. Not only that, but the fat that was transferred had a low survival rate which meant that it was hard for surgeons to estimate how much of the fat would survive, which lead to painful overfilling and unpredictable results. 

Until now, with BeautiFill, the fat transfer service has become more comfortable, more gentle, and more predictable. Starting with the fat removal process, instead of leaving behind loose skin where fat was removed, BeautiFill tightens the skin as it removes the fat. The removed fat is treated to destroy fibrous tissue, leaving behind symmetrical living fat cells with a predictable high survival rate. Meaning now surgeons can predict final results with extreme accuracy. This process not only makes a recovery more comfortable but also makes results more predictable. You can treat minor or significant areas with this treatment. (In fact, many patients are choosing this option as an alternative to the Brazilian Butt Lift).

BeautiFill Before & After Results

Patients love it because they can use their body tissue, not an implant, and slim a problem area while enhancing another. If you think BeautiFill is right for you or have questions about the process, call us today to book your free consultation. Our talented medical staff can answer any questions you might have and provide you with an optimal treatment plan. 

It’s no secret that we all have differences in our skin. It can affect everything from what makeup options will appear best, to what type of sunscreen you should be using. But for medical treatment, a reliable classification system was needed. Enter the Fitzpatrick Skin Type classification system. 

Unfortunately, this scale isn’t much help in the makeup department, but it can help you determine what SPF to use, and clinicians all over the world use it to determine optimal treatments for their patients. It was developed in 1975, and its purpose is to classify skin types according to the amount of pigment your skin has and your skin’s reaction to sun exposure. This information can help you predict your risk of sun damage and even skin cancer. 

Clinicians use this scale to determine optimal settings to treat your skin without damaging it with lasers and other tools. As a patient, understanding the scale and what your number is can help you care for your skin better for your safety and the well-being of your skin. 

What is the Fitzpatrick Skin Type Scale?

The Fitzpatrick Skin Type Scale is a classification that is semi-subjective. It was developed by interviewing people about their skin and its reaction to the sun. After much research, the developers were able to recognize distinct trends. The creator identified six groups. It’s possible that you won’t meet all the characteristics of any one type, so you should go with the one that best describes you. Here is a breakdown so you can find out which one most appeals to you. 

Fitzpatrick Skin Type 1

People with Type 1 skin have ivory or almost white skin. It easily freckles and always burns, and commonly peels after a burn. It will never tan. People with type 1 typically have naturally light or red hair and light gray, light green, or blue eyes. 

Fitzpatrick Skin Type 2

People with Type 2 skin have pale or fair skin. Their skin usually freckles and often burns and rarely tans. Those with Type 2 usually have blue, gray, or green eyes and blonde hair.

Fitzpatrick Skin Type 3

People with Type 3 skin often consider their skin to be beige with a golden undertone. Usually tans after initial burn. They usually have light brown or hazel eyes with dark blonde or light brown hair. 

Fitzpatrick Skin Type 4

People with Type 4 skin have olive or light brown skin; their skin typically tans uniformly and rarely burns. Typically, people with Type 4 have brown eyes and brown hair.

Fitzpatrick Skin Type 5

People with Type 5 have a darker shade of brown skin, but not overly dark. They always tan and never burn and rarely have any freckles. Their eye and hair color range from dark brown to black. 

Fitzpatrick Skin Type 6

People with Type 6 have dark brown skin; skin never burns but darkens in the sun and never freckles. Their eye and hair color is also black. 

Why is it important to know?

It’s essential to know your skin type so you can maintain good skin health. For example, Types 1 and 2 are in a high-risk category for melanoma and other skin cancers. A high SPF sunscreen should always be used. Types 3 to 6 still have some risk of skin cancer from sun exposure, primarily if you’ve used a tanning bed. All skin types should check for irregularities and changes in their skin and ALWAYS apply sunscreen!

As we age, our skin cells do not regenerate as quickly as they once did. Our body naturally produces less collagen and our genes and environment take a toll on the appearance of our skin. This can result in the visible signs of aging, a loss of a youthful glow, sunspots, and sagging skin. Our skin is affected by more than just our genetics but also extreme climates, UV rays, stress, and environmental toxins. This is why skin resurfacing treatments have been gaining in popularity.

In the past, the most effective treatments for aging skin were invasive facelift surgeries or ablative laser resurfacing. Although both of these procedures are extremely effective, they have a prolonged time needed for patient recovery and delayed results. That all changed when the HALO Resurfacing Laser came along. It’s been changing our patients’ lives and it just might change yours as well.

The HALO Resurfacing Laser is the world’s first Hybrid Fractional Laser. It is revolutionizing skin resurfacing by delivering both non-ablative and ablative wavelengths to the same microscopic treatment zone. The HALO is giving patients the results they love from previous treatments without the discomfort or downtime they would normally expect. Want to know more?

What is resurfacing?

Traditional skin resurfacing is a laser treatment that removes the skin layer by layer in a precise area. The new skin that forms during the healing process gives the appearance of a tighter younger-looking surface. Traditional Ablative Laser resurfacing often resulted in an uncomfortable healing process where the facial skin was left red, swollen, and itchy. There was also a possibility for unpleasant side effects such as acne, changes in skin tone, scarring, or infection. As impressive as the results were for most patients, there was room for improvement within the current treatments which is why the HALO Resurfacing Laser is so impressive.

What makes Halo different?

In the past, patients had to choose between a treatment with impressive results and a prolonged downtime or a treatment that offered little downtime with only marginal results. The HALO provides the best of both worlds.

HALO has the ability to precisely target areas of your skin that have undergone years of damage such as discoloration, sun damage, enlarged pores, poor texture, fine lines and wrinkles, and more. HALO is only gaining in popularity because of its incredible results with little to no downtime. It provides an unmatched laser resurfacing experience for patients that is both comfortable with low downtime while still providing incredible results. The downtime is so short that most women feel comfortable wearing makeup within 24 hours of

treatments. (Although you might find yourself not needing makeup at all.)

Unlike traditional laser treatments, initial results from HALO are visible immediately after the treatment, however, the skin will continue to improve over time. With HALO, fewer treatments are needed to provide even more impressive results than with traditional laser treatments. With HALO, optimal results are often achieved with only 1-2 treatments.

HALO provides a highly customizable skin treatment to precisely target areas of damage. It improves the look of fine lines and wrinkles, reduces pore size and offers flexibility in treatment levels and downtime. In fact, the procedure has a “glow-effect” producing a radiance that has been dubbed “angel-skin.” The HALO has also been celebrated for its ability to offer improvements to all skin types, unlike traditional treatments.

The HALO treatment isn’t just for faces. Many patients have enjoyed its benefits on their neck, chest, arms, and legs as well. While a typical appointment lasts roughly an hour for a facial treatment, it may be longer depending on the areas you’re treating. The LUX Med Spa team will discuss this with you during your consultation so you can plan accordingly.

During a typical appointment, a topical anesthetic is applied to ensure your comfort. The treatment area(s) is then measured and treated. To provide optimal comfort, the HALO also has a “zimmer” for cooling!

Adverse side effects are extremely low and can include experiencing slight discomfort during the procedure or a darkening of the skin as the epidermis begins to slough off before your more youthful-looking skin is revealed.

Overall, the HALO allows you to turn back time by tightening, toning and refining the surface of aging and damaged skin, revealing a supple and youthful complexion!

We’re confident you’re going to be pleased with the results. Call us today to schedule your free consultation and let us reveal to you a new more youthful version of yourself. Your only regret will be not calling sooner.
