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.

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.

This holiday season will be more meaningful than ever for many of us, as we can once again celebrate together! This season is sure to be filled with parties, gatherings, and lots and lots of pictures. We want you to feel like your most confident self. No matter the season, all of us at LUX want you to look and feel your best! Here is a look at some of our most popular pre-holiday services.  

Facials

Facials are a great way to indulge in a spa treatment while leaving your skin dewy and fresh. If you aren’t sure where to start, consider our DiamondGlow facial. This facial offers a triple-pronged approach to restoring your youthful glow. Throughout this process, a diamond-tipped applicator removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells. During this process, it also deep cleans your pores (Goodbye Blackheads!) and also infuses your newly revealed skin with medical-grade serums so you can look dewy and fresh for the holidays. DiamondGlow is one of our most popular services because it’s gentle and effective and requires no downtime while leaving you looking picture perfect! You’re going to love it!

Injections

Have you ever considered cosmetic injections? There might be more options than you think; injections are a subtle way to turn back the hands of time and reduce or even eliminate the signs of aging. Some of our most popular options are:

Botox

Botox is the OG in the cosmetic injections world. It’s been on the market for years; it’s FDA approved and can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. These injections are quick and effective, with little to no downtime and long-lasting results. 

Juvederm

Juvederm is here to give you that picture-perfect pout for all your mistletoe moments. Juvederm and its sister products are some of the best cosmetic fillers on the market today. If you’d like plumper lips, if your face has lost volume over the years, or you notice your skin looks a little bit lax, a little cosmetic filler might be just the thing you need to perk up your look for the holidays. 

Kybella

Kybella is a simple cosmetic injection that is FDA approved to safely and effectively eliminate fat under the chin. If you’ve been bothered by a double chin or wish your jawline was more defined, Kybella is for you. This product is popular with our male and female patients and offers incredible results. You’ll have to see to believe, call us today to book your appointment!

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!

What is a fat transfer?

Fat transfer is becoming one of the most commonly requested services from our clients. The concept is simple, we remove fat from one area of your body and transfer it to another area. 

Although fat transfer procedures have been around for years, modern technology has improved the accuracy and predictability of fat transfer services. As a result, we can now offer this popular service with minimal downtime and highly reliable results. 

Patients love BeautiFill because of the dramatic results available. Dr. Larsen can enhance your facial or body contours while also allowing the removal of additional fat and further contouring, all while thermally tightening the skin in the donor area. As a result, BeautiFill provides for a smoother and easier recovery than traditional liposuction, with the added benefit of highly viable fat transfers to areas you’d like to enhance. In addition, BeautiFill can use this combination of procedures to enhance or even fully rejuvenate the face or body if it loses volume and excess skin. 

Why is fall the best time of year for a fat transfer?

Traditionally winter is the most common time for patients to schedule cosmetic procedures. However, it can be hard to find your optimal time to schedule your procedure due to this popular time. By scheduling your fat transfer in the fall, you can gain all the benefits of a winter procedure. Such as having plenty of time to recover before summer fully, the opportunity to conceal treated areas with flattering fall fashions, and still enjoying plenty of time to recover before the busy holiday season. Imagine all the pictures you’ll take in December and January with colleges, friends, and families; wouldn’t you like to look your very best in those? Call us today for a free consultation to see if BeautiFill is right for you. 

What kind of fat transfer services do you offer?

We are proud to offer BeautiFill to our patients. BeautiFill is a new FDA-approved procedure produced by Alma Lasers. It is laser-based liposuction different from any other liposuction procedure available on the market. The BeautiFill system is far superior to all previous methods of fat transfer. BeautiFill is a device that combines laser, gentle liposuction, and processing of fat cells in one step. This process creates fat cells with an extraordinary vitality for natural aesthetic contouring. In addition, BeautiFill can use fat from a donor area on your body to naturally smooth all face, hands, and body areas. It can even rejuvenate depressed scars, naturally. 

Can I have it removed without transferring it?

Yes! Although most patients prefer to use BeautiFill as a fat transfer service, it’s possible to use it as an alternative to liposuction. With BeautiFill, our patients will benefit from thermal tightening of the skin as the fat is removed. This can minimize the effects of cellulite and leave smooth, taut skin behind. 

What are the most common areas for fat transfers?

Anybody or facial area that has lost the desired volume can be restored with BeautiFill. For facial treatments, your cells can be injected at the temples, chin, beneath the eyes, used for cheek enhancement, or to fill in laugh lines or other facial areas as needed. For body treatments, BeautiFill can give more significant regions, including the buttocks, a rounded lift. Additionally,  breasts can be enhanced, although the results will be more subtle than a full augmentation. Surprisingly, one of the most common areas patients want to treat is the hands, as they are one of the first areas of the body to show age apart from the face. With BeautiFill, they can be restored to a more youthful appearance. 

Why should I choose Buckhead Plastic Surgery for my fat transfer procedure?

Dr. Larsen is a double board-certified plastic surgeon with years of experience. He’s worked hard to perfect his techniques to offer the best possible results for his patients while also making every effort to ensure your comfort throughout the entire procedure. 

Not only is Dr. Larsen highly experienced in this procedure, but he has a long list of 5-star reviews from previous patients. He has carefully chosen a staff that shares his people-first attitude and has carefully selected each person on his team.

Call us today at 404.367.9005 to book your free consultation and see what a difference Buckhead Plastic Surgery can make in your life.

Historically fat transfer procedures are what they sound like, removing fat from one area of the body and grafting it to another area. Until now, fat transfer treatments have been risky. They typically involve a time-consuming extraction process, with higher risk, more trauma, and unreliable results. Before developing high-fat vitality transfers offered through BeautiFill, fat cells were permanently damaged during the removal process. Because that process was so traumatic for the body to recover from, it yielded unpredictable results. Meaning doctors couldn’t predict fat reabsorption rates, and it was common for patients to lose most of the fat transferred in the first year. With the unpredictable nature, many patients were left with the results of being overfilled, underfilled, or left with fat in areas where they didn’t want it. 

Now the BeautiFill system has revolutionized the industry. Thanks to this groundbreaking technology, the removed fat is more uniform, undamaged, and has a much higher survival rate. Meaning that the days of overfilling and unpredictable results are a thing of the past. Additionally, the BeautiFill system introduced a new process that simultaneously uses a laser to break down fat while gently suctioning it out to process it rapidly. This system is streamlined to efficiently use thermal energy to tighten the skin where the fat cells have been removed so that there is no sagging once the fat is removed.  

How does Beautifill work?

BeautiFill is a new development in laser technology. The process gently heats the tissue surrounding fat cells at the donor site. (This varies from patient to patient, common areas include the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, or love handles.) This heating allows more fat to be removed from the tissue. This process also removes any oil, blood, or fibrous tissue from the harvested fat. While the idea might be gruesome to think about, it’s an important technical step that significantly improves the survival of the transferred fat tissue. The results from this process are small uniform fat cells with a higher rate of viability, which has been unachievable until now. 

Why should I work with Buckhead Plastic Surgery for my fat transfer procedure?

We know this is a lot of information, but we hoped it helped better educate you on the long-term benefits of fat transfer surgery in Atlanta. Deciding to undergo a cosmetic procedure is a big decision. We hope this gave you some confidence to understand this procedure better.

Choosing a plastic surgeon can be intimidating. Dr. Larsen is a double board-certified plastic surgeon with years of experience and many 5 star reviews for fat transfer procedures. If you have more questions or would like to discuss this procedure as an option, give us a call. We would love the opportunity to talk with you more about fat transfer surgery and non-surgical options. To learn more, schedule a free 15-minute consultation.
