Will Sun Exposure Ruin My Cosmetic Procedure Results?

You’ve just scheduled a cosmetic procedure designed to improve your complexion – and you couldn’t be happier!  You can’t wait to show off your newfound results to all your friends and family members.  In fact, your mind is swimming with images of your gorgeous glow at parties, barbeques, and beachside bonfires. But before you undergo your cosmetic procedure, consider this – unless you protect your sensitive skin from sun exposure, you could end up stunting or even reversing results from your treatment. Many cosmetic procedures that utilize lasers, ultrasound energy, or even injectables can cause the skin to become more sensitive.  For example, take laser skin resurfacing: depending on the type of technology you’re using, the procedure either removes top layers of skin or creates micro-channels within the skin to prompt collagen production.  Either way, your facial skin is going to be extremely sensitive to pigmentation after this procedure. If you expose yourself to sunlight without sunscreen protection, you’re making it much more likely that your newly sensitive skin will become pigmented and discolored.  That’s why it’s always recommended that [...]

How Long Do Hand Rejuvenation Procedures Last?

When it comes to keeping yourself looking younger and more refreshed, you probably focus on treating your face and neck.  After all, these areas are all highly targeted by the beauty industry, with loads of anti-wrinkle face and neck creams filling up the shelves at your favorite beauty department. But have you ever stopped to think that your hands are giving away your real age? Think about it this way: your hands are covered in the same delicate and thin skin tissue as your face and neck.  They also partake in plenty of repetitive actions, depending on your occupation.  Add to the fact that your hands lose valuable volume over time, and it’s no wonder the hands are often dead giveaways for a person’s real age. Don’t let your hands reveal your secrets.  Hand rejuvenation at the Laser Skin Care Center in Long Beach, CA can help make your hands look as young and vibrant as you feel! So how does hand rejuvenation work?  Simple: by using the same fillers that are injected into the face to add temporary, youth-enhancing [...]

What Is VelaShape and How Is It Different From UltraShape Power?

When it comes to non-invasive body contouring, it seems as though there are endless options available on the market today.  Each body contouring treatment promises inch loss, but they take very different approaches in order to achieve those results.  How do these body contouring treatments work, and how are they so different from one another? To help understand, let’s take a look at two popular non-invasive body contouring procedures: VelaShape and UltraShape Power. VelaShape combines the power of radiofrequency energy with vacuum technology to heat and destroys fat cells underneath the dermis.  In addition to destroying fat cells, radiofrequency helps to heat and trigger collagen production for younger, tighter-looking skin.  By combining these two effects, VelaShape helps to eliminate the appearance of cellulite and promote inch loss around the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and waistline. UltraShape Power uses ultrasound energy to heat and liquefies those same fat cells.  UltraShape Power delivers a bigger punch (clinical trials have shown that it reduces fat cells by up to 32%); however, it’s not as effective at eliminating the appearance of cellulite as VelaShape.  Therefore, [...]
