Skin Care Tips To Get You Holiday-Ready

Christmas time is almost here and with it- cold, winter weather, which is not as fun for your skin. The change of seasons is traumatic for your skin and body in general. But hopefully this time around you can take steps to prevent your skin from becoming a casualty to the dry air, harsh outdoors, low humidity levels, cold and chafing winds. Cold weather steals moisture away from the skin every second of the day. And without proper care, your skin can dry out and it can even lead to cracking and bleeding. Think about your winter self-care and bring back that all time radiant glow for your winter parties. Moreover there is the stress of the holidays to deal with. It can all get too hectic. Here are some TLC skin care tips from Calista Skin and Laser Center to get you glowing for your holiday photos, with minimal effort.

Trade-In Your Lotion For Cream

Just like you switch your seasonal wardrobes, you need to do the same with your skin emollient. Your skin will feel much better with a richer moisturizer over winter. You want your skin to retain more moisture in the winter so pick an oil-based rather than a water-based solution. Creams are more moisturizing than lotions, which don’t have an oily barrier to reduce water loss from the skin. Creams sit heavier on the skin but they are much better at protecting against extreme temperature and humidity. Areas like your hands, feet, elbows, and knees have thin and dryer skin. So they tend to lose moisture faster than other areas on the body. Slather on a moisturizing cream at night to seal the moisture in.

Exfoliate Well

You need to slough off dead skin cells in the winter and also get rid of the dirt that cleansers can’t remove by exfoliating. Start with a gentle exfoliant and see if your skin is comfortable with the routine before picking up the stronger stuff. You can even use an exfoliating mask on your face and your hands and even your lips. Then follow it up immediately with moisturizer to witness a smoother skin. Exfoliating also helps make room for fresh cells to grow and it helps your skin absorb more moisturizer, creams and any other product you use for your skin care routine.

Take Shorter Showers And Use Lukewarm Water

Avoid long, hot showers or baths as they will leave your skin dehydrated and dry. Go for shorter and lukewarm baths and showers and towel dry your skin right after. Using lukewarm water instead of hot water can prevent stripping oils away from the skin. Your skin needs more moisture right after you wash so do apply a good moisturizer to damp skin from head to toe in order to seal that dampness into the skin. Use shower gel instead of soap for better coverage and extra skin enrichment.

Don’t Skip Sunscreen

Your skin may be less exposed to harsh sunlight over winter but you should not stop protecting yourselves from its rays altogether. You can use skin creams with built-in sunscreen, but do make sure it has an SPF rating of 15 or higher. For people who spend a lot of time outdoors, working or enjoying winter sports, an SPF of 30 or higher is recommended.

Steer Clear Of Stressors

Winter brings with it a host of holidays that are fun to celebrate with friends and family but it can also bring on a lot of stress that is likely to show up on your skin. All the alcohol, rich food, long nights, and stress can be harsh on the skin. Don’t skimp on the fun but do pay attention to skin stressors and minimize them. Cut back on simple sugars and carbohydrates. Avoid fast foods or processed foods to prevent acne breakouts. Stress always makes any skin problem you may have a little bit worse. Whatever you do, follow your skin care routine. Take time out for yourself and practice some relaxation techniques, like meditation.

Invest In A Humidifier

Regulating the indoor temperature using heating systems can dry out the air. You can counter it by installing a humidifier in your home, particularly in your bedroom. This will help put moisture back into the air and it can help keep your skin from drying out.

Drink Water And Eat The Right Food

Most of us drink a lot less water in the winter because we prefer hot drinks like cocoa and tea. Your skin needs hydration from the inside too, so squeeze a dash of lemon in a little warm water and drink it. Your skin will feel refreshed and hydrated at the same time.

You should pick foods high in water content such as watermelon, apples, oranges, kiwi or even veggies like tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini and more, to help hydrate your skin from the inside out. Increase your intake of vitamin C and zinc to encourage the healthy production of collagen and elastin. Eat more fatty fish and flaxseed to help your skin appear supple and smooth.

You can also try one of Calista Skin and Laser Center’s skin care beauty treatments such as Hydrafacial, Microdermabrasion, or Skin Tightening to get instant results. We are here to help you look your best every day. Call us on 817-488-3838. What are your tips for pampering winter skin?

Wave Goodbye To Saggy Arms And Legs

Wave Goodbye To Saggy Arms And Legs

Are you looking forward to the upcoming winter because you cannot wait to hide the sagging skin on your arms and legs under your cozy sweaters? Has aging or recent weight gain or loss caused your skin to have a ‘loose’ and saggy feeling?

As we get older our body slows down the production of collagen and elastin, the two proteins that give our skin its firm texture and suppleness. This loss results in skin that has a sagging appearance. Applying topical lotions and hydration creams can temporarily improve the texture of the epidermis, but to achieve lasting results laser skin tightening is the answer.

Painless and affordable, lasers use a unique wavelength to target the dermis, or the under layers of the skin, to heat the area and encourage the production of collagen and reduce fat in the targeted area. The heat applied also tightens the existing collagen under the skin to give a smoother surface and reduce the appearance of sagging.

There are two main types of lasers used to provide laser skin tightening: ablative and non-ablative. Ablative treatment applies controlled heat and light to the outer epidermis to remove the layers as well as transfer heat deep into the underlying dermis.

Non-ablative laser skin tightening also penetrates deep into the dermis but does so without damaging the outer layer of skin. This method is often preferred as it requires less recovery time.

Why Consider Laser Skin Tightening on the Arms and Legs?

The upper arms and legs tend to be where women, in particular, carry additional weight. When weight is lost, a droopy, loose appearance can look prematurely aged. For improved tone and to fight the signs of aging, laser skin tightening has many benefits including:

Affordable, lasting skin tightening
Effective for non-surgical fat reduction Reverses the signs of aging
Smooths the dermis under the skin and stimulates collagen production
Reverses the signs of aging
Effective for non-surgical fat reduction
The process is painless with no downtime

How does it work and how long does it take?

Laser skin tightening is achieved over time as the lasers will target fat cells under the skin to tighten and stimulate collagen production. After their initial consultation, patients will receive a skincare treatment plan that outlines the number of treatments needed. Most clients begin to see results after their first few treatments.

How much does laser skin tightening cost?

The cost of laser skin tightening is incredibly affordable and noninvasive when compared to surgical alternatives! The exact cost depends on the size of the treatment area as well as the number of treatments required.

Sagging skin on your arms and legs doesn’t have to be something you have to deal with or cover up with bulky sweaters. Laser skin tightening is an affordable way to gain confidence with toned, smooth skin that looks young and supple. Contact Calista Laser in Dallas / Fort Worth or call 817-488-3838 to get started!

Things You May Not Know About Vascular Veins

Things You May Not Know About Vascular Veins

Vascular veins affect over 3 million Americans each year, but what are they?

Vascular veins are commonly confused with spider veins however they are not the same. The main difference is in their color and the prevalence in the body. Spider veins have are typically more flat, red or purple in color, and are usually smaller. Varicose veins, on the other hand, are blue in color, are bigger, and show more of a bulge on your legs.

Although the cause of varicose veins is unknown, here are four factors that most commonly lead to these eye-catching veins:

Age
Genes
Obesity
Life

The older you are the more likely you are to develop the condition. People with genes that are predisposed to the veins are at higher risks, as well as those who may be obese or live a lifestyle where movement and exercise are prohibited.

There are hundreds of DIY treatments to get rid of or reduce the appearance of them, but what is a proven treatment that can eliminate most of the visibility of undesirable veins? Laser vein treatment.

Schedule Your Laser Vein Treatment with Calista Skin & Laser Center

What Is Laser Vein Treatment And How Does It Work?

Laser vein treatment is a procedure by which the laser is applied to the red blood cells, which heats the blood from the inside out and then collapses. This leads to a mini clot inside the blood vessel which is supposed to be able to treat the ailment.

The normal healing time for the treated area would be between 4 and 6 weeks.

How Do I Prepare For Laser Vein Treatment?

The day of the treatment does not use any type of skin moisturizers, creams or lotions on the area.
Wear loosely fitting clothes for ease of movement before and after the procedure.
Limit exposure to the sun and stay away from tanning of any kind (salons or spray) two weeks prior.

The procedure itself takes about 15 minutes to complete, ins minimally invasive, and the recovery time is generally under a week. The only downside to the procedure is that all of the veins may not disappear after just one treatment. Sometimes it may require a patient to receive up to 3 or 4 treatments before the veins are fully gone and not able to be seen.

Varicose veins affect millions of people and there are a few things that can cause the condition. Daily routines, exercise, and eating habits can help to improve your chances to fight against varicose veins.

Laser options are a painless procedure that can help people take the next step if previous methods of relief do not work.

Skincare Advice For Women Going Through Menopause

Post author By Calista Laser
Post date August 20, 2020
No Comments on Skincare Advice For Women Going Through Menopause

Skincare Advice For Women Going Through Menopause

Women going through menopause find it a really challenging time for their skin. Hormonal shifts trigger a number of unwanted changes in the skin and it seems like an uphill battle against breakouts and wrinkles. The estrogen levels drop which affects almost every organ of the body, including the skin. The male sex hormones or androgens remain constant resulting in dry and sagging skin. During this time women also find that their skin lacks luster and radiance. Meanwhile testosterone levels skyrocket causing acne, not just on the face but also the back and chest.

Add stress into the mix and women find themselves fighting adult acne, hair loss, weight gain and fine lines. But your skin can look smoother and younger, while managing menopause, with a few simple tricks and treatments.

Smooth Wrinkles

The body produces much less estrogen which has a negative impact on the levels of collagen and elastin, making skin more prone to wrinkling during and after menopause. Research has shown that your body loses almost a third of your collagen within the first five years of menopause. Aging causes fat loss in the face that shows up as wrinkles, so fillers like Juvéderm can help with skin sag problems. Moreover lower levels of estrogen leads to dry skin and dry skin shows more wrinkles. So dermatologists recommend using a retin at night with a moisturizer to help the skin retain moisture and renew it. Topical retinoids or prescription-strength lotions or creams derived from vitamin A can stimulate collagen production in the skin to improve skin texture. Even skin resurfacing with lasers can reduce fine lines and improve skin tone.

Steer Clear of Sun Damage

Sun exposure is the biggest contributor to unwanted skin damage and aging skin is especially vulnerable to the harsh rays of the sun. So it is important for women going through menopause to apply sunscreen always and preferably a waterproof sunscreen while going swimming. According to the North American Menopause Society, the use of a broad-spectrum SPF should be part of skincare routine.

Put Down The Smokes

Snuff out your cigarettes as smoking can age the skin prematurely. The nicotine and toxic chemicals in tobacco tightens blood vessels restricting blood flow and reducing oxygen and nutrients to the skin. Smoking also damage collagen and elastin in the skin, which then shows up as sagging and wrinkled skin.

Rehydrate Dry Skin

The skin becomes dry and thin due to decreased hormone production during menopause. It is vital to avoid dehydrating soaps and long soaks in hot water. Women should also exfoliate their skin to remove dry and dead skin cells to promote fresh production of collagen. Be generous with moisturizer after your bath. You can use a ceramide cream to boost lipids in your skin to fight dryness. The use of a proper moisturizer will seal the skin to prevent water loss and also restore hydration.

Anti-oxidants

Also make sure to treat your skin with some sort of antioxidant, as they are anti-aging, and they act to protect your skin. Some of the top antioxidants that can help your skin are Vitamin A (retinoids), vitamin C, green tea and resveratrol.

Prevent Breakouts

Acne is not just a typical puberty problem, most women get a rude awakening when they enter menopause because of adult acne problems. The increase in testesterone can trigger the skin’s sebaceous glands to produce excess oil which causes breakouts in the face, chin and neck. Banish your adult acne with regular use of benzoyl peroxide preparations and topical antibiotic medications like clindamycin. Regular use of retinoids can help unclog pores to reduce fine lines and give your complexion a boost.

What else can a woman do to restore balance to your body and skin? Besides skincare, it is important for all women above 35 to exercise daily for at least thirty minutes to improve blood circulation. Your skin will also thank you for making sure that you have a balanced diet. You should have fresh fruits and vegetables high in vitamins and minerals. About thirty percent of your meal should contain lean protein, and 30 percent should be healthy fats. Drink at least eight glasses of water per day to flush toxins from your system and to help your skin reclaim its glow.

You can tackle a number of skin problems due to menopause with the help of skin treatments from our team of experts in Calista Skin and Laser Center. We can help you choose cosmetic treatments that will work best for your skin issues.

Skin Treatment – Prep You Skin For Winter

Skin Treatment – Prep You Skin For Winter

Now may be the ideal time to focus on your skin and take the right steps to get it in shape for the holidays. Summer months are usually harsh for your skin, with all the time spent outdoors in the sun and the seasonal change from summer to fall can take its toll on your skin. By November the temperature drops and the dry fall air worsens the summer damage on your skin, so correcting any damage to your skin by changing your skin care regime to prepare your skin for winter is essential. Look and feel your best by following these simple steps, as you transition to winter, for refreshed and healthy glowing skin.

Skin Analysis

With the changing seasons, your skin too may show some changes. Many people with oily skin type find their skin turning normal, while those who had normal skin earlier may find the chill in the air draining the moisture from their skin to turn it dry. Analyze your skin through fall to see if you need to change your skin care products according to your skin type. You can try consulting an aesthetician, if you are unsure of your skin type.

Change Your Body Cleanser

In the summer, shower gels are very popular treat, but with the appearance of cold weather, it may dry out your skin. Change from a shower gel to a soap-free, moisture-rich cream bath wash for your body. Those with dry skin should pick sulfate-free body washes for cleansing.

Moisturize

The cool crispness around this time is from drier air, which drains the moisture from the surface of your skin. With the temperature dipping, you pile on more layers of clothes and the fabric absorbs natural moisture from your skin. Those with dry or combination skin can change from using a summer lotion to an emollient cream, to keep your facial skin from getting rough and parched. Even people with oily complexions may need a richer moisturizer. For extra hydration and to repair skin damage from the summer sun, use serums through fall. Use body lotion or body butter for dry skin and hydrating oil-free lotion for oily skin to moisturize daily, right after you shower to seal in the moisture.

Exfoliate

Autumn usually gets very busy, with back to school routines, cleaning and preparing your home for winter months on top of work. The stress can show up on your skin. Exfoliation is a must for radiant skin in the fall. In addition to an exfoliating facial, you must go for a full body scrub to remove all signs of wear and tear from summer. Choose exfoliating products that can retain moisture and is gentle on dry skin, preferably oil-based sugar scrubs to gently remove dead skin cells from the surface. You may even consider a peel for a deeper exfoliation to help revive sunburnt skin.

Fix it with Sun block

Whether it is a clear day or a breezy, cool one, your skin always needs protection from the harmful ultraviolet rays. You may not be tanning by the pool in fall but sunscreen still remains a daily essential. Choose a sunscreen with titanium oxide for everyday wear through the day in fall or you can use a moisturizer with SPF15 at least.

Remember Your Feet

You may have said goodbye to sandal weather and your feet may be tucked inside your boots but you still have to take care of them and exfoliate them regularly, so they look beautiful for next summer. Use a foot scrub through fall and winter to keep your feet and heels looking good. You can also rub a light oil to moisturize your feet before bedtime.

Invest in a Hand Cream

Your hands can show signs of cold weather as they are in and out of the water regularly. You may notice dry hands and cuticles, so keep a hand cream ready to moisturize them frequently. You may even try a cuticle oil to quickly take care of any cracked skin in the winter.

IPL fotofacial, micro-needling or microdermabrasion treatment may be just the perfect way to lighten sun spots, redness, broken capillaries and rejuvenate your overall skin texture to its natural glow for fall. We at Calista Skin & Laser Center are happy to help you get prepared for the coming winter holidays.

Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatment Guide

Your Guide to Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatments

Due to recent medical advancements, there is now a treatment that can get rid of almost anything. From severe sun damage to noticeable scars, many of your body tissues can be removed with the right lasers.

Here is a short guide to laser skin resurfacing treatments.

Anti-Redness Treatments

Often referred to as vascular lasers, anti-redness lasers are generally used to treat the red areas of the body.

The lasers can treat the following types of conditions, red moles, rosacea, and spider veins. They can also treat stretch marks and superficial bruises.

These types of lasers can get rid of blood vessels, which are often the components that are causing those conditions.

A treatment that involves anti-redness lasers will be a little painful, but there won’t be much downtime. The good news is that there is little risk involved in this treatment.

Pigment-Pulverizing Treatments

Pigment-pulverizing lasers are great treatments for nearly all skin tones.
These types of lasers are often equipped with picosecond and Q-switched lasers.

With this unique combination, pigment-pulverizing lasers can usually remove severe age spots, tattoos, and sun damage.

The good thing about pigment-pulverizing lasers is that they are painless. During this treatment, it usually just feels like rubber bands are snapping against the body.

Often, a patient will receive lidocaine and numbing cream.

Pigment-pulverizing lasers typically only result in a few days of downtime.

Non-Ablative Resurfacing Treatments

There are several non-ablative lasers, one of which is known as baby fractional lasers. Such lasers are designed to achieve only subtle improvements.

Picosecond lasers, on the other hand, can get rid of bigger issues like noticeable wrinkles, fine lines, and scars.

The Fraxel Dual is a non-ablative treatment that is perfect for improving severe UV damage on the body. As a stronger fractional treatment, the Fraxel Dual can remove UV damage on the hands, feet, face, and chest.

Many non-ablative fractional lasers require ibuprofen and topical numbing beforehand.

After receiving a non-ablative treatment, you can expect to experience about a week of recovery.

Ablative Treatments

Contrary to non-ablative lasers, ablative resurfacing lasers typically produce extremely dramatic results even after one treatment.

The two primary types of ablative lasers are Sciton Profractional and Fraxel Repair. These lasers produce dramatic results by renewing the skin’s collagen with much stimulation.

These excellent lasers have been shown to treat a wide variety of conditions including significant sun damage, noticeable scars, severe wrinkles, and much more.

Before receiving this extremely effective treatment, you’ll probably be given numbing cream to encourage a smooth procedure.

In order to ensure a great recovery, it’s recommended that you take at least a week off work and other everyday activities. Most patients will experience some discomfort from the surgery, which may include swelling, reddening, and crusting.

As you can see, there are many different treatments on the market that can correct your face or body issues.

If you’re searching for a great ablative treatment, consider the CO2RE laser treatment. A revolutionary ablative laser, this treatment has been shown to remove extreme sun damage like acne scars, uneven pigmentation, and fine lines.

Since the treatment can remove many layers of damaged skin, you’ll experience a more youthful-looking appearance by the time this treatment is over.

Get Glowing Skin For Spring

Is there anything you can do besides follow your usual skin care routine to breathe some life into your dull-looking skin after winter? Calista Skin and Laser Center has got you covered with our skin care tips and treatment options so that you get radiant looking skin in time for the best time of the year.

Beauty Tip #1- Exfoliate For A Glow

Dead skin cells accumulate on the surface of the skin over winter, which can leave your skin looking lackluster. The magic trick to revive your skin and get rid of large pores is exfoliation. Exfoliate often to leave your skin looking smoother and feeling softer. Use a face scrub to help effectively exfoliate the surface of your skin and remove this buildup so that your face glows. It also helps reduce the depth of the pore indents into the skin.

What is the best way to exfoliate? There are physical exfoliators that contain granules which you can massage over your face with wet fingers to physically rub off the dead skin cells and remove them. Then there are chemical exfoliators with glycolic acid in them to chemically break down the bond between cells and get rid of dead skin cells more gently.

Beauty Tip #2: Hydrate Your Skin With A Moisturizer

Cold weather can hamper oil production and the chilly winds can rough up the skin. You must stick to your moisturizing routine to get dewy skin. To boost the hydration of your skin, you should follow cleansing your skin morning and night with a moisturizer. Reach for a moisturizing formula that can be serums or creams to hydrate your skin without being too heavy. It should not just sit on the surface without getting any deeper. In winter, you can apply layers of moisturizers to seal in the moisture in your skin. Start with a serum which tends to be thinner than moisturizers, before applying a cream.

Beauty Tip #3- Show Some Love To Your Lips

Don’t forget to exfoliate your lips. Do away with rough, cracked lips by exfoliating your lips. Improve the look of your lips and also make them feel buttery soft and smooth. This will improve the look and application of your lipstick. Hydrate and moisturize your lips with your favorite lip balm or conditioner after exfoliating.

Beauty Tip #4- Address Blemishes And Acne

There are different kinds of blemishes you may need to address from whiteheads, blackheads, pustules to cystic acne. They all require different treatments from Photo Facial IPL. eMatrix, Microdermabrasion, Micro-Needling to CO2RE Fractional CO2 ablation. We can make sure that acne blemishes will be a distant memory by summer.

Acne blemishes won’t disappear overnight, so it is good to be proactive in order to prevent acne in the first place. Make sure you use a medicated cleanser, especially formulated with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide every day in the morning and before you go to sleep at night to help remove dirt, impurities, dead skin cells, and excess oil from the surface of your skin. Then moisturize your skin with a light serum. Sticking to a daily skin care routine will keep those pesky acne at bay.

Beauty Tip #5- Vitamin C Serum To Tackle Under-Eye Dark Circles

If you have annoying dark circles, massage some vitamin-c serum gently into the skin around your eyes with your finger for 3-5 minutes, before you head to bed. Check to see the active ingredients in your serum. Your serum may contain lightening agents like azelaic acid, kojic acid or hydroquinone. You can also prevent under eye puffiness by sleeping with your head slightly elevated in order to lower fluid retention. Regular use of your vitamin C serum can help lighten your under-eye dark circles.

Get Radiant Skin With Laser Skin Resurfacing

When winter arrives, your skin becomes dull and dry. Age, over-exposure to the sun, and pollutants all combine to rob women of their natural skin radiance and suppleness. Even the best beauty products, keeping your body hydrated or following a healthy diet doesn’t seem to make a difference. It may be time to properly assess how your skin has changed and seek professional skin treatments from your local skincare center. If your face is showing fine lines, wrinkles, brown spots, scars or discolorations, you don’t have to reach out for expensive antioxidant serum, lotion, cream and masks on the shelf that just don’t seem to do much for your skin. For real results, you need to give sublative resurfacing a try. Rediscover the beauty of your natural and healthy skin that is hidden under the damaged outer layer of your skin with a skin resurfacing treatment.

Sublative resurfacing helps break down the unwanted or dead skin cells to remove the damaged layer. And all of this, without the use of any knife or needle. You can uncover the supple and radiant skin underneath with eMatrix Laser Resurfacing treatment.

Skin Changes In Women

Most women are well aware of ‘bad skin days.’ Hormones are known to have a lasting effect on hair, skin, and nails. The glow in our skin comes from the hormone estrogen, which increases collagen production in the skin to keep things firm and smooth. But when estrogen declines with age and approach of menopause, you lose the natural radiance. Your skin needs a little help to smooth out, get firmer, and glow on. Women in their twenties have acne scars from face breakouts due to active oil production. Adopt a healthy lifestyle, avoid smoking and drinking too much and always wear sunscreen to keep your youthful skin for longer. Women in their thirties are faced with fine creases, enlarged pores, dark circles under the eyes and skin dullness due to slowdown of collagen production. And in the forties and fifties women have drier, lax skin with occasional breakouts from hormonal imbalance due to low lipid and estrogen levels. But the war isn’t lost because it is never too late to take care of your skin. Besides following a healthy lifestyle, you can get topical treatments by visiting your nearest skin clinic to reclaim your glowing skin this winter.

EMatrix Sublative Rejuvenation In The Dallas-Fort Worth Area

The FDA approved cosmetic technology known as ‘Sublative Rejuvenation’ works from the inside out to encourage collagen production on all skin tones. Sublative Rejuvenation with eMatrix delivers energy beams below the skin using bi-polar radio frequency, for controlled non-ablative fractional treatment of wrinkles, skin creases, fine lines, scars and enlarged pores. Targeted areas of matrix spots get treated with pulses of radio frequency energy, without overheating the top layer of the skin, to induce a skin injury. This works on the fibroblasts for maximized signal collagen regeneration. With sublative skin rejuvenation treatment, you can get improved skin tone, and it can even remodel the texture of your skin as the surrounding tissue hastens the healing process naturally. It can treat sagging skin, and activate new collagen without relying on temporary substance fillers or aggressive treatments like chemical peels.

Will Sublative Rejuvenation Work For Me?

Sublative rejuvenation is suitable for all skin types. It causes minimal damage to the surface layer of the skin. For best results, you will need about three to five subsequent treatments. And the results will last over three to six months following the last treatment. Sublative rejuvenation may not be recommended for patients with pacemakers, internal defibrillators, or metal implants in the area to be treated. Pregnant women should avoid this treatment.

Risks From Sublative Resurfacing/EMatrix

The procedure causes minimal discomfort but it may feel uncomfortable to some. Topical anesthetic will be used on the skin prior to the treatment to ease any discomfort.

Your skin may show some side effects post-procedure, such as redness and swelling but that only lasts for hours to a couple of days.

There may be tiny crusts that form and are present for between five to fourteen days before disappearing, but they can be easily camouflaged with makeup.

In extremely rare cases, there may be scarring or infection.

Theoretically there may be darkening or lightening of the skin from eMatrix, but realistically speaking this is highly uncommon.

There are other skin treatments available to deal with wrinkles and scars including chemical peels, microdermabrasion, Derma fillers, BOTOX, Fraxel, CO2 fractional resurfacing (CO2RE) and topical therapies. Schedule an appointment with Calista Skin and Laser Center for a series of eMatrix Sublative RF Fractional Resurfacing treatments at reasonable prices. Walk away with wrinkle reduction and glowing skin this winter!

Beauty standards have changed significantly over the decades and gone are the drastic plastic surgery procedures where the tightly pulled back, windswept look was often the result.

Today, it’s all about beauty maintenance and the amazing technological advances in non-invasive cosmetic treatments that slow the aging process. It’s a gentler approach with almost instant, natural-looking facial rejuvenation, and injectables are the way to look younger and attractive without the world taking notice.

The Global Leader Of Aesthetic Treatments

Dermal filler remains the most popular non-surgical procedure next to Botox, the injectable wrinkle smoother. The numbers from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons tell the story. In the United States alone, the use of fillers skyrocketed from 1.8 million treatments in 2010 to 2.6 million in 2016.

Leading the charge is Juvederm and its umbrella of treatments. The brand maintains its number one title of the world’s best selling dermal filler collection.

Lift It, Smooth It, Plump It The Juvederm Way

Juvederm’s crystal-clear gels perform in a variety of ways when injected into the face and/or neck. The magical results can be found in the treatment’s unique formula of hyaluronic acid (HA).

The human body naturally produces HA for lubricating movable parts like the joints and muscles. It acts like a moisture magnet and keeps the skin tissue young and supple, but as we age, our bodies start making less and less hyaluronic acid. Wrinkles form, the skin gets drier and sags. and the supportive collagen foundation loses strength.

Juvederm’s incredible filler can restore the fullness of the facial contours that are lost with general aging and/or sun damage. The brand features a variety of fillers that each perform a unique task, including volumizing the cheeks, smoothing the parentheses lines, smoothing vertical lip lines or plumping the lips.

Safe, Quick And With Long-Lasting Results

When it comes to maintenance, injectables offer the client major advantages. There is no anesthesia or cutting involved. Within about 15 minutes, the procedure is over, and one can walk out the door with a dramatic transformation thanks to Juvederm’s almost immediate or instant results.

Also, there is no downtime or hiding out with bandages and a healing process. The client can return to their normal day of activity.

Results may last one year to two years, with optimal treatment and depending on the formula used.

There is no permanent commitment to Juvederm’s treatment sessions. If a client no longer wants injections, their face will slowly return to its natural condition prior to the injections.

There’s a Juvederm dermal filler for every adult woman and man. The brand features a collection of dermal fillers designed to cosmetically treat the cheeks, lines and wrinkles and the lips.

Here at Calista Skin and Laser Clinic, we are master injectors and can create the maintenance results a client dreams of for a healthy, ageless appearance.

Top 8 Things You Need To Know

If you are looking for clearer skin, there are certain things that you will need to know before you begin a laser treatment. Having a more beautiful skin can be accessed with some knowledge and the right provider. Skin resurfacing is a common solution for many people. Here are the top eight things you need to know.

1. CO2RE Fractional CO2 Requires Little Downtime.

Fall is called “laser season,” since treated skin is more sensitive to the sun. Winter, with its shorter days, allows spending more time indoors, which promotes healing.

2. Topical Anesthetic Is Used.

It will depend on the depth and area of treatment as well as your tolerance for pain. Intravenous sedation can also keep a patient more comfortable.

3. Resurfacing “Turns Back The Clock.”

It is a great solution for wrinkles and fine lines. The laser resurfacing reveals the more youthful skin underneath.

4. Why It Is Called Fractional CO2 Ablation.

Ablative lasers are used; they generate beams of coherent light. This light is absorbed by the body’s tissue as energy, promoting temperature elevation which results in the evaporation of tissue, called ablation. CO2RE Fractional CO2 laser is considered the ‘Gold Standard’ for ablation.

5. It Makes Use Of The Body’s Natural Healing System.

You should be upfront regarding what medications you are taking while giving your medical history, as it could affect the treatment. The natural processes of the body replace and remove the treated skin and heal it.

6. Uneven Pigmentation, Photo Damage, Precancerous Spots, and A Host Of Imperfections Can Benefit.

The ablative laser effectively treats a diverse range of skin conditions by removing all or part of the skin. Scars can also be treated with ablative lasers.

7. The Peeling Lasts From 7 To 10 Days.

Your face will be red while the peeling is happening. If you work at home, that is a great solution. Some choose to have it done in the fall season, as mentioned previously.

8. Laser Treatment Is Ideal For Patients, Age 30 Years and Older.

These people may have skin damage due to sun exposure, fine lines, rough texture or acne scars. Results are usually seen after one treatment; however, deeper lines and imperfections may require a series of treatments, such as three skin resurfacing treatments over a twelve month period.

Think about your goals as far as the problems you wish to address with laser skin resurfacing. Then give us a call to set up your appointment for a consultation and laser treatment.
