Best Skin Care for BBL

BBL is a very popular corrective phototherapy treatment. This treatment utilizes Broadband Light (BBL) to target signs of aging, reverse sun damage, and treat other conditions. This process restores skin to its natural beauty making it clearer, smoother, and more vibrant. Protect that investment by adding these products to your home beauty regimen.

Spring is here, and we are ready to rejuvenate after a long winter; here are a few of LUX Med Spa’s best tips for brightening your complexion this Spring!

BBL for everyone

BBL is one of the best anti-aging skin treatments available. BBL is the world’s most powerful, intense pulsed light device. It is setting new standards in treating skin that has begun showing the signs of aging, especially from sun damage. BBL allows your physician to treat sun spots, small facial veins, freckles, age spots, rosacea, acne, unwanted hair, aging skin, and even loss of firmness. In addition, Dr. Larsen and his team can use BBL to create a customized treatment plan to match your skin type and achieve your desired results.

DiamondGlow

DiamondGLow is a gentle dermabrasion process. This treatment is performed by applying an applicator with an abrasive diamond tip which gently removes the outermost layer of your skin, 

After the dead skin is removed, the newly revealed and highly permeable skin is being treated and infused with customized serums which are absorbed into the skin leaving behind a dewy, glowing fresh complexion. You’re going to love your results!

Microneedling

Microneedling has been an impressive and popular cosmetic procedure for years. This minimally invasive procedure involves using tiny needles to penetrate the skin, which causes a healing response that boosts collagen development and can even skin texture and tone. As a result, Microneedling makes the skin firmer and smoother and can help with acne scars and decrease the appearance of sunspots. Perfect for refreshing your look before you hit the pool!

Chemical Peel

A chemical peel is a medical technique used to improve skin texture and smooth problem areas. Chemical peels are intended to remove the outermost layers of skin on the face, neck, and back of hands. This process is one of the most effective ways to improve the texture of the skin’s surface. Patients love the healthy glow they achieve while deep cleaning their pores and shedding their dry winter skin. Spring is the perfect time to schedule your chemical peel. We offer a variety of kinds for you to choose from, including:

The Micropeel

The Mircopeel is one of the most popular facial rejuvenating treatments and is perfect for a seasonal transition. It can soften your skin, brighten your complexion and minimize pore size and reduce discoloration with no actual downtime. 

 The SilkPeel Dermalinfusion

This is designed to improve the appearance of skin with just one treatment (although many patients prefer to book a series). The procedure takes about 30 minutes, does not cause pain, and does not require downtime. Similar to microdermabrasion treatments, SilkPeel involves removing outer layers of the skin through exfoliation. 

The Perfect Peel

The Perfect Peel is by far the most prevalent chemical peel we offer. It’s known for working from the inside out to repair and nourish the skin by giving it a radiant glow, refining pores, improving hyperpigmentation, lifting melasma, diminishing fine lines and wrinkles, eliminating acne, and preventing acne scars. The Perfect Peel delivers impressive results and is perfect for all skin types and ethnicities. 

Revision Skincare

At LUX Med Spa, we are proud to offer Revision Skincare which has provided clinically proven high-performing skincare products. Revision Skincare is the best at-home skincare you can purchase. It’s the smart way to care for your skin between spa treatments. Set up a consultation today with one of our skincare experts to determine which Revision Skincare products are the best for your skin.

Microneedling is a skincare treatment that safely and effectively provides various benefits to the skin. As we age, collagen production slows, causing our skin to lose elasticity and sag or wrinkle. Furthermore, with increased exposure to the sun and environment, it’s common for pores to enlarge with age. These changes can prematurely age our skin. 

 Essentially, microneedling causes minor stress to the skin, causing it to produce more collagen as it heals, which can fade the look of scars and fine lines. As a result, the new skin will be more even in tone and texture as your skin heals. Microneedling is most commonly used on the face but can be done in other areas, such as the neck and chest. 

What are the top benefits of Microneedling?

Stimulates Collagen Production

The most common reason patients choose microneedling is because it boosts collagen production. This boost occurs because tiny microneedles penetrate the skin and cause a healing response in your body. This healing process includes your skin-boosting the production of collagen and elastin to speed up the healing process. As the skin heals, the increase of collagen leaves the skin plumper and more youthful-looking, with a more even texture and tone. 

Low-Risk High Reward

Microneedling is a safe and effective way to boost collagen production. When performed by a professional, the results are both predictable and impressive. Some redness can occur in the treated area, but these side effects usually go away within a few days, and your collagen risk skin results are here to stay. 

It Can Improve the Appearance of Pores

Many patients seek microneedling to treat fine lines and wrinkles and evening out skin tone. However, many people are unaware that microneedling is a highly effective treatment for improving the appearance of your pores. In addition, the tiny needles used during this procedure can also have an exfoliating effect which can minimize the appearance of large pores even further. 

Reduces Acne Scarring

As we transition from teens to adults, acne tends to fade, but sometimes the scars stick around. Microneedling can minimize the appearance of acne scars significantly.

You Can Pair It With Other Services

Many patients prefer to combine their microneedling with other services such as a facial. But it’s also common for patients to combine facial treatments with body treatments. Spend a day with us and make progress on all your aesthetic goals. Many patients prefer to book microneedling appointments on the same day they come in for Accent Prime or Laser hair removal. If you have questions about which services can be booked together, call us today and book your free consultation. We’ll answer all your questions and design a treatment plan to meet your aesthetic goals.

What are the best Microneedling services?

At LUX, we only provide the best services to our clients; if you’re interested in Microneedling, we would recommend one of the following services. If you’d like more information about which one would be best for you, call us today for a free consultation. 

Skin Pen Microneedling

The SkinPen is our original Microneedling service and is still incredibly popular. During this procedure, your skincare will roll the SkinPen across the desired areas for resurfacing. This tool will make tiny pinpricks on the surface of your skin. They are so small that you likely won’t feel them after the procedure. Because the SkinPen is moved evenly across the skin, it evenly rejuvenates the entire treated surface. The results are a rejuvenated skin surface. Patients notice a more even skin tone and improved texture. 

Morpheus8

Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive technology that utilizes radiofrequency to remodel collagen and adipose tissue. As a result, you can experience skin tightening and resurfacing results with only a few treatments. Morpheus8 is also available for facial and body treatments. Call us today to see the results for yourself!

Who is a good candidate for microneedling?

Good candidates have realistic expectations of the possible results of this procedure. They are committed to a series of sessions to achieve optimal results and will intentionally give their skin the time and care it needs to heal between sessions. The best candidates for these treatments are good overall health, non-smokers, and not dealing with chronic or ongoing skin conditions.

 What is recovery like?

Before scheduling a microneedling procedure, it’s best to start with a consultation. Our talented professionals will determine the areas you would like to treat and provide you with all your options for optimal results. Your provider will analyze your skin type (age, ethnicity, possible skin conditions/restrictions) and provide you with the best treatment plan. 

 The recovery for microneedling is minimal. Few people experience any adverse reactions, including minor skin irritation immediately following the treatment. However, in some cases, you will see the appearance of redness that will last for several days. Therefore, it is important to give your skin extra care in the days following your procedure, especially avoiding direct sun exposure. 

 The results from microneedling will be the most impressive after three sessions. But you will see an improvement in your skin within a few weeks of your first session. Unfortunately, although the results are impressive, they do not stop the aging process; many patients return for additional maintenance sessions as needed after the initial sessions.

We all want to look our best. However, mornings are a struggle. You know that taking care of your skin is essential if you’re like us, but so is your beauty sleep. With so many products on the market, it’s hard to prioritize what is needed. Yet, we all want to care for our skin and keep it looking its best all year round. Not to worry, the team at LUX is here to help!

Cleanser

The cleanser is always the first step in any skincare procedure. It’s best to start with a blank slate. However, not all cleaners are created equal. It’s best to use a cleanser specifically chosen to compliment your skin type. If you aren’t sure where to start, call us to book your free consultation, and one of our skin specialists can help you design your custom skincare regimen. 

Treatment

If you deal with recurring skin problems like acne, you might need a particular treatment. Many treatments are available for home use. But there are also many spa treatments available. If you’ve been having a texture or tone issue with your skin, call us today to discuss possible treatments that could help restore the skin you’ve always wanted. Sometimes treatments like Microneedling or MOXI can be life-changing for patients who have had skin issues.

Serum

Serums are like a direct infusion of what your skin needs most. Whether you want to smooth, brighten, or even out your complexion, a medical-grade serum can make a significant impact on the tone and texture of your skin. 

Although some serums can be applied daily, others have a deeper effect on our skin if used with a spa treatment. For example, facial treatments such as DiamondGlow, can remove dead skin and treat the newly revealed skin. This combination can boost your overall glow and leave your skin feeling supple and new. 

Moisturizer

Even in humid climates, the environmental factors our skin is exposed to everyday can be very drying. Moisturized skin is happy skin. Our signature soothing mist is a great way to hydrate your skin and keep it feeling LUX all day. 

SPF

Your daytime skincare should always end with SPF, no matter what season you’re in or if you are planning to spend time outside. Damaging UV rays can affect the skin even through a car window, and sun damage is one of the highest contributing factors to the average signs of aging.

The best protection comes from a mineral sunscreen look for an SPF of 30 or higher. If you’re on the fence about which sunscreen is right for you, call us today for a recommendation. Our in-house brand offers a brush-on powder sunscreen or an ultra-light body spray. No matter what your preferences are, we have you covered.

If your skin has already suffered from sun damage, consider booking an appointment for BBL. BBL is an FDA-approved treatment that can remove the effects of sun damage. Imagine pulling years of sun damage with a single procedure! 

We all have had those seasons where it seems like the to-do list is just a bit longer than the day is. Self-care is often the first thing to go in those busy times, especially skincare. However, skincare isn’t something we should just cast aside. Signs of aging and especially sun damage, can occur if we let our skincare slide. 

The best way to keep our skin healthy and youthful-looking is by being proactive about skincare. And our mornings will go easier if we are intentional about our skincare in the evening. No one should be dealing with yesterday’s makeup today. 

Skincare basics + how LUX can help!

If the whole idea of skincare is new to you, don’t worry; we are here to help! Call us today to schedule a facial! One of our skincare specialists can answer all your questions and pull together your optimal skincare products so you can have LUX skin at home!

 Microneedling at LUX Med Spa

If you only have 5 minutes:

Cleanse

Always start by cleaning your skin. This step will remove any makeup or build-up from sunscreen or other cosmetic products that are left on your skin. 

Moisturize

One of the most important steps in skincare can help prevent the signs of aging by nourishing your skin and avoiding acne breakouts.

If you have 10 minutes: 

Start with a cleanser, then exfoliate. Exfoliation is not needed every day, but a gentle scrub once or twice a week can help you slough off dead skin and reveal an even brighter complexion. 

Adding a serum to your skin before you moisturize is a great way to target specific issues like age spots or fine lines and wrinkles. Serums are typically made of products that are highly absorbable to the skin to penetrate deeply to treat problems at their source. Serums are also more lightweight than moisturizers, so they are great even if you have acne-prone skin.

If you have 15 minutes:

Start with a cleanser, exfoliate if you feel it’s needed. Add a mask treatment. There are a few options here; a mask can detoxify, brighten or deeply hydrate your skin. Ask one of our skincare specialists which products would be best for your skin type if you are unsure. Apply your mask, leave it on for at least 10 minutes, rinse with warm water and moisturize.

When you need to treat yourself!

You can add an eye cream or a lash-boosting product like Latisse if you’re at home. However, if your skin needs some TLC, book a custom facial with us, or consider a more intensive treatment like BBL, which can remove years of sun damage, or microneedling, which can improve the texture of the surface of your skin.  Whatever your skincare needs are, LUX is here to help! Call us today to book your free consultation, and we will keep you looking your best all year round!

Summer isn’t over yet, but if you’re like us, you are already scouting your local Starbucks for the first pumpkin spice latte of the season. Unfortunately, as the school year approaches and we start moving into familiar rhythms of life, one thing often gets neglected -your skin. 

Summer takes a toll on our skin; sun and saltwater are drying. So even if you avoided the rays this summer, simply sitting inside in the a/c can have a drying effect on your skin. Not to worry, though; LUX has everything you need to restore your glow so you can seamlessly transition into fall with glowing skin. 

Skin Resurfacing 

If you’ve noticed an uneven texture to your skin, you might wish to consider a skin resurfacing treatment, especially if you hope to reduce the signs of aging or even treat minor scarring (such as acne scars). Opus Plasma is our most requested skin resurfacing treatment. 

Many people avoid skin resurfacing treatments due to the significant downtime or discomfort with traditional treatments. Opus Plasma is different. It can treat age spots, crow’s feet, fine lines, and wrinkles, as well as minor scarring, and rough or uneven skin texture, even unwanted pigmentation such as port-wine stains or sunspots. Unlike typical laser resurfacing treatments, Opus Plasma is safe and effective on all skin types and tones. In addition, Opus Plasma is much gentler on the skin, meaning that the discomfort and downtime are minimal. Call us today to learn more!

BBL

If you’ve experienced sun damage, BBL might be just the service you need. BBL, which stands for Broadband Light, is a focused laser treatment that removes sun damage from your skin. This innovative treatment can take years off your face and leave you with fresh, glowing skin with only a short amount of recovery time. 

BBL is an innovative treatment that uses light energy to penetrate deep into your skin, boosting your body’s natural ability to heal and regenerate. BBL also treats a range of skin conditions from hyperpigmentation, sun damage, rosacea, vascular lesions, and active acne. BBL is so effective that it also stimulates collagen production, improving the texture and tone of your skin. This non-invasive treatment can turn back the clock for you; call us today to book your free consultation. 

Spa Day at Home 

You don’t have to wait until your next visit to start pampering your skin.

Facials

It’s always the right time to schedule a facial. These specialized skin treatments can provide your skin with precisely the nutrients and TLC it needs to transition from summer to fall, and you will benefit from a relaxing spa visit. A few of our patient’s favorite facials are:

• Pure Collagen Luxury Facial-This luxurious and intensely hydrating will firm your skin and reduce the appearance of aging.
• Clean and Fresh Facial- A perfect cleansing facial for the end of summer. This facial involves deep cleaning clogged pores and exfoliation, extraction, and applying products chosen for your skin type.

Beauty IV Drip

Professional IV therapy is changing the look of self-care. This relaxing spa experience will keep you looking your best while supplementing your body with hydration while helping you look your best.

Would you say that the last year has been stressful? If so, you’re not alone. But have you considered the effect all that stress is having on your skin? Stress can cause a domino effect in our bodies. As a result, we can experience fatigue, muscle aches, and even skin issues.

When your body is under stress, your sympathetic nervous system releases the stress hormone cortisol and adrenaline into your body. Unfortunately, cortisol has a bad reputation for increasing oil production in your skin glands; this excess oil can lead to clogged pores and acne breakouts.

Ugh. Stressful days and breakouts? No, thank you. 

Unfortunately, stress can cause even more significant issues than acne and breakouts. Prolonged periods of stress can lead to frown lines and worry lines around the eyes. In addition, stress can take a severe toll on your skin and can reveal early signs of aging. 

No need to worry though, LUX has you covered!

Forever Clear BBL

If acne and breakouts have been causing your grief, call us today to schedule your free consultation for Forever Clear BBL. This treatment is a revolutionary technology that utilizes concentrated light to deal with common problems like acne and breakouts. So book your session today, and you’ll be on your way to clearer, smoother skin!

Facials

Stress can cause a literal build-up of oil on the skin; facials are a great way to combat that. Our patients love getting our signature facials. Their skin will reap the benefits of these highly concentrated treatments, but it’s also a luxurious, relaxing treatment where you get to lay down and relax for a while as we pamper you. Don’t you owe it to yourself to relax and treat your skin?

Botox

Lines and wrinkles are signs of a life well-lived. However, many of us would still prefer not to see them. Botox is an excellent treatment that can stop and even reverse the signs of aging by preventing fine lines and wrinkles. 

-Are you prone to stress headaches? Often stress headaches are caused by tightening the muscles in our face and neck. Some patients even experience stress-induced migraines. Botox can prevent these headaches by impeding the movement of the muscles, literally eliminating the possibility of over-clenching them. If Botox isn’t for you, we offer many alternatives like Dysport and Jeuveau. Call us today to find out which one is right for you!

Massage

Massages are a great way to restore your body and spirit. Whether you want a little “me” time, require a deep tissue massage. A massage is a great way to practice restorative self-care while easing tension and resting your body. If you feel a bit run down, a lymphatic drainage massage might be just the right thing to promote lymphatic circulation and decongest your tissues.

Meyer’s Cocktail

If you’re looking into whole body care, you might be interested in infusion therapy brought to you by our partners at Elite testing. Meyer’s Cocktail is an IV Infusion Therapy, which sets the industry standard for improved wellness. This IV treatment will supplement your body with the fluid, vitamins, and minerals needed to restore your health, boost energy, and strengthen immunity. As a result, you’ll notice an improvement in the function of your mind and body. This IV solution includes magnesium, calcium, gluconate, B-complex, ascorbic acid, and B-12.

Lately, there has been quite a bit of buzz about upgrades to basic fillers. Don’t get us wrong, there isn’t anything wrong with fillers, but now there are even more options than ever before! So keep reading to learn about our new service options and what might be best for you!

Why choose Dermal Fillers?

We’ve all heard of Botox. But what about Dermal fillers? Fillers and other injectables are a common starting place when people want to make changes to their skin. They can delay or even reverse the signs of aging. They are virtually painless, and they last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. (Talk about getting your money’s worth!) 

If you want to fill in fine lines and wrinkles or have noticed a lack of volume or fullness to your face. Fillers might be an excellent option for you. Lux has a wide variety of injectables, so call us today to determine which one is best for you. 

Chin Aug with JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA™ XC Filler at LUX Med Spa

Oh, and don’t forget to ask about KYBELLA. It’s the only FDA-approved injectable that can dissolve fat under your chin. Injectables are safe and reliable and can create drastic changes in your appearance while still looking natural. If you’re curious, call us today to schedule your free consultation. 

Why choose Skin Resurfacing?

Microneedling is a skin resurfacing treatment that is not a new idea. But Opus Plasma has been flipping traditional therapy on its head and wowing patience since its arrival on the scene. Brought to us by the prestigious Alma Lasers company Opus Plasma is revolutionizing skin resurfacing. The results are like a combination of an aggressive ablative CO2 laser and a gentle chemical peel; this cutting-edge technology combines radiofrequency with microplasma energy. Meaning it can treat a variety of skin concerns with minimal downtime. Opus Plasma can give you better results than typical microneedling services of the past could provide. 

Opus Plasma Before & After Results

If you have conditions like wrinkles, age spots, loose or lax skin, rough or uneven skin tone, Opus Plasma is for you. Best of all, Opus Plasma can be used on all shades of skin. So call us today to set up your consultation if you think your skin could benefit from a complete resurfacing treatment that can take years off your face, neck, or hands!

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!

LUX Med Spa has successfully treated countless patients of all skin types with lasers.

What types of laser treatments can be used on each skin type?

One of the reasons it’s essential to understand your skin type regarding cosmetic treatments is because not all lasers can be used on all skin types.
