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. We offer advanced, medical-grade skincare products at LUX Med Spa in Atlanta as ideal complements to the anti-aging treatments we perform. Our signature brand LUXurous Skincare is a favorite of our patients and our staff! Our team of licensed medical aestheticians and cosmetic consultants assist you in creating a home skincare regimen that enhances your treatment results and keeps your skin looking healthy and youthful.

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.
  • Oxygenating Facial- This treatment is like a breath of fresh air for your skin. It begins with a detoxifying salicylic, lactic, and glycolic peel that exfoliates the skin, followed by oxygen peptides that will clear congestion and restore your skin’s radiance.

Beauty IV Drip

Have you visited our partners at Elite Testing? You know we only work with the best. We value a whole-body approach to beauty, which means treating yourself well on the inside and the outside. 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.
