Facial Schedule for Brides To Be with Premier Spa and Laser Center

Premier Spa Laser — Fri, 26 Feb 2021 21:33:07 +0000

As your big day approaches, all of the stress and pressure of finalizing details is weighing heavy on your shoulders and can show on your skin. A relaxing day at the spa sounds amazing, but which pre-wedding facial treatments should you be receiving before your big day? With the wide variety of options to choose from at Premier Spa and Laser Center, selecting facial and acne treatment Newark DE that will rejuvenate and hydrate your skin is crucial. Brides to be, we have your back! Here is our facial and spa Newark DE schedule for soon-to-be brides.

Six Months Before the Wedding

Book a classic facial appointment.
Your wedding is six months away, it’s time to book an appointment with one of our highly qualified and licensed aestheticians. This appointment should be scheduled asap to get your acne, fine line, or dark spot treatments started. When booking this appointment, go ahead and treat yourself with scheduling a classic facial as well. Scheduling both of these things will not only allow you and your aesthetician to speak about what exactly you are looking to achieve by your wedding day, but will also allow for your aesthetician to learn about your facial skin and better plan for the future. Possible topics to cover at this appointment are any sort of acne treatment Newark DE, botox or dermal fillers, laser hair removal Newark DE, and chemical peels Newark DE. Before leaving, have a detailed list of the procedures, products, and times that each should take place and schedule those out as well.

Plump with Dermal fillers.
Dermal fillers are becoming increasingly popular for brides because they add or replace lost volume to lips, cheeks, and under-eye areas, and can define your jawline. Because your face will be the star of the show, we understand wanting to plump and tone. If you’ve never had dermal fillers before, schedule your first treatment six to nine months before your wedding, allowing time for more natural results. Fillers typically last six months, so plan for your last treatment no less than six weeks before your wedding to relieve swelling and bruising and allow the injections to look more natural on your face.

Three Months Before the Wedding

Book a personalized facial appointment.
Your wedding day is now only three months away, and crunch time is here. Going off of your personalized facial schedule that your Premier Spa and Laser Center aesthetician organized for you, book another facial tailored to your skin type. For dry skin, opt for a moisturizing facial or clarifying for oily or acne-prone skin.

Rejuvenate with a chemical peel.
This is also a perfect time to receive one of our customized chemical peels Newark DE. A chemical peel consists of applying a chemical solution to the targeted area of the face to superficially remove the rough, dry outer epidermal layers of the skin. This is great for boosting cellular turnover and hydration levels which can improve fine lines, pore size, sun-damaged skin, uneven skin coloring, and light acne scars. It is important to have this treatment performed at least a few weeks to months before your wedding, especially if your honeymoon is somewhere warm and tropical to avoid irritation.

Purify with Isolaz.
Isolaz is a unique acne treatment Newark DE that combines vacuum and painless broadband light to deep clean and purify our pores from the inside out. It is a reliable and effective acne therapy, with quick and long-lasting results for all skin types. It can be used to treat the face, neck, chest, back, and shoulders. On average, clients are recommended to receive four to six Isolaz treatments, but many will continue to schedule every one to two weeks until they have reached their desired result.

One Month Before the Wedding

Exfoliate with Microdermabrasion or a light chemical peel.
Depending on what your aesthetician suggests, a thorough facial exfoliation through microdermabrasion or chemical peels Newark DE is suggested a month before your wedding. Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical, non-invasive procedure that utilizes a laser-cut diamond tip in combination with light suction to improve the appearance of fine lines, uneven skin tone and pigmentation, large pores, blackheads, and light acne scars. The skin is gently sanded, removing the thicker rough outer layer of cells/skin. It also helps to thicken the collagen in the area treated. Collagen makes the skin appear taut and smooth. Skin is revitalized and more vibrant immediately following the procedure.

Dermal fillers
Refill on any previous dermal fillers to ensure your face is plumped, lifted, and defined. Having this treatment done a few weeks before your wedding will ensure that any swelling and bruising has diminished and your face is left looking natural for your big day.

Two Weeks Before the Wedding

Purify with extractions.
The best way to get rid of your blackheads and those white bumps on your face is to see a professional, licensed aesthetician. You run the risks of scarring or infection if you try to “pop” or “pick” them yourself which is the last thing you want on your face walking down the aisle. Our aestheticians may customize your acne treatment Newark DE combining extractions with other services such as microdermabrasion or Isolaz treatments. If you need extractions, make sure you do them 15 days before the wedding to allow time for your skin to settle down.

One Week Before the Wedding

Smooth your facial skin with Dermaplaning.
Dermaplaning is an effective, safe, non-invasive, non-surgical physical exfoliation procedure. It requires the use of a sterile, surgical scalpel to gently shave and exfoliate the skin’s surface, removing the top-most layer of dead skin along with fine, peach fuzz. Dermaplaning allows for deeper product penetration, Promotes smoother skin and brighter skin appearance, and instantly allows your makeup to be applied more evenly and look smoother.

Hydrate with a HydraFacial.
Lastly, we suggest getting a HydraFacial. HydraFacials help with uneven skin texture, congested skin, and enlarged pores for a glowing Bride-to-be complexion. There is virtually no downtime, and you can even have it done several times in the weeks leading up to your wedding. Hello, post married glow!

While this is a tentative pre wedding schedule, each bride’s facial skin is different. This means that the only way for you to receive a personalized care routine is to visit and speak with our licensed aestheticians about your concerns and wishes for your big day.

The Best Ages to Start Skin Care

Premier Spa Laser — Mon, 21 Dec 2020 17:13:54 +0000

We all know skincare is important, but what our skin needs changes throughout our life. There are a few skincare products that are essential throughout your life such as a really good moisturizer, scheduled facials Newark DE, and a gentle daily cleanser that won’t dry out your face. Do you know what certain products should be added to your routine as you age? Below, the estheticians at Premier Spa and Laser Center explain the most important skincare products to have in your arsenal in your teens, 20s, 30s, 40s, and beyond.

Teens-

Cleanse thoroughly, once or twice a day. This is the time to learn about your skin type. If you are oily, use foaming or gel cleaners that control oils; if you have dry skin, using a facial moisturizer is a great tool to keep the skin hydrated. Exfoliation is key to combat blackheads, doing so gently once or twice a week will suffice. Stick to a simple regime and refrain from using products that have scents, colors, or other irritants that may cause or worsen acne. If pimples are an issue, have a conversation with your doctor, or visit Premier Spa and Laser Center for acne-treating facials Newark DE.

20’s-

Similar to the steps you were taking in your teens, continue to wash your face once or twice daily, using unscented and non-comedogenic cleansers and moisturizers that are specifically for your skin type. To increase your collagen production, you can gently exfoliate 3-4 times a week after cleansing, and begin paying attention to your diet and exercise. Your skin starts to lose its ability to repair itself in your 20’s so adding retinol, serum, or other anti-aging topical solutions can kickstart your skincare routine. However, it is easy to overload your face with products, which can cause irritation and damage. To grasp what is the best solution for your face, visiting Premier Spa and Laser Center and talking with an experienced esthetician about your skin type can benefit you in many ways.

30’s-

If you haven’t begun a daily skincare routine, now is the time to do it! Grab a gentle cleanser, a hydrating moisturizer, a mineral sunscreen, and follow the steps listed before. If you are looking to add on to the routine you have been completing since your 20’s, grab an alcohol-free toner, an under the eye cream, and a silk pillowcase. Your 30’s are a pivotal time in your life –for you and your skin. If you are starting to notice your face isn’t like it used to be, it may take changing a few steps or ingredients in your skincare recipe to initiate a glow again. Adding more or different serums and retinoids to your daily and weekly skincare routine can up your routine in your 30’s. Vitamin C, Vitamin A, PHA / BHA / AHA, Salicylic Acid, and Hyaluronic Acids are all great places to start. A silk pillowcase is much gentler on your skin by reducing the appearance of wrinkles and they are hypoallergenic, meaning they don’t hold onto allergens such as dust and mold. Scheduling regular facials Newark DE with Premier Spa and Laser Center can help heal any damage and restore moisture to the skin. Your everyday makeup can be boosted to help your skin heal and glow as well. Speaking with one of the experienced estheticians at Premier Spa and Laser Center will be beneficial.

40’s and Beyond-

While you begin to think about anti-aging skincare routines in your 30’s, your 40’s is the time to get serious about them. By our 40’s, our skin turnover rate has slowed to more than double that of our early 20’s, according to Dr. Heather Rogers. Wrinkles are starting to appear out of nowhere, acne may pop up in places you’ve never experienced, and the healing process is seemingly impossible to catch up. Most importantly, begin getting head to toe skin checks, now if not before the age of 40. All of the products you were using in your 30’s, such as a daily cleanser, SPF 30-50, and serums and retinol/retinoids should continue to be applied daily. However, focusing on renewing, moisturizing, protecting, and boosting your skin’s health is important for your skin as you age.

One of the most important skincare ingredients that should never be forgotten is to stay hydrated with as much water as possible! Taking care of your skin is a full-time job. To keep your skin beautiful and glowing in your teens, 20’s, 30’s, and 40’s follow these esthetician-recommended routines. For help understanding your skin or jump-starting the renewal process, contact Premier Spa and Laser Center today to schedule one of our many facials Newark DE to help you reach skincare success.

At-Home Facials: What You Should Leave to the Professionals

Premier Spa Laser — Thu, 29 Oct 2020 19:36:05 +0000

A night in with the girls, off of work, or just necessary relaxation are all great times to perform at-home facials. Masks, steaming, and facial creams are easily accessible when at home and can achieve optimum results without the help of a professional. However, there are a few more extreme facial services that should be left to the certified aesthetician. Extractions using Izolas chemical peels, and microneedling should all be performed by properly trained professionals at Premier Spa and Laser Center to ensure scarring, burning, and other injuries do not occur.

Extractions

When acne appears, your first instinct is to pop it using your fingers and force, but it is important to understand that not all pores and pimples should be squeezed. While at home extractions can be highly satisfying, if done incorrectly they can do damage to your skin and cause scarring. Pimples such as blackheads are A-OK to extract at home using a sterile tool or freshly cleaned hands. Any other blemish on the face should be handled by a professional. At home extractor tools such as poor vacuums, can ultimately leave your skin damaged and red, which is why making an appointment at Premier Spa Newark DE to undergo an Isolaz treatment is the best course of action.

Chemical Peels

Some of the easiest at-home facial treatments can be masks and exfoliation. However, chemical peels are something one should leave to the professionals at Premier Spa and Laser Center for a multitude of reasons. Chemical peels can be great to help treat acne, resurface the skin, and encourage new cell growth, but using the wrong products can cause irritation, redness, and even more acne. It is never a good idea to put harsh chemicals on your face without a professional’s instructions, which is why sticking to gentle skin serums for at-home use and making appointments at Premier Spa Newark DE for harsher chemical peels is the best way to achieve glowing skin.

Microneedling

The process of microneedling has become one of the most popular spa treatments today, but should it be done at home, or left to do by the professionals? There are many products that are available to be purchased for at-home use, but doing so can damage your skin or simply not help at all. The micorneedling devices used by professionals at Premier Spa Newark DE are more advanced and longer, making the end result more impactful. The technique used when microneedling is extremely important and can be difficult to master when performing on yourself. Similar to Isolaz, microneedling can be great for acne and scars, when done correctly.

What Causes Wrinkles in Your Skin?

Premier Spa Laser — Sat, 15 Aug 2020 16:03:04 +0000

Crow’s feet, expression lines, mouth frowns, necklines, the list goes on and on. As we age, our skin begins to lose elasticity and flexibility causing permanent grooves and wrinkles. Though wrinkles naturally occur with age, there are other factors that speed up the aging process. Slow down the process with treatments such as the ones at Premier Spa and Laser Center.

Sun Exposure

Ultraviolet (UV) light breaks down the collagen and elasticity of the skin. As the elastin fibers break down, the connective tissue that supports the skin becomes weaker and inflexible causing the skin to drop and form wrinkles. UV exposure from tanning beds, sunbathing, and outdoor activities increase the development of wrinkles. Therefore, individuals that work in sunlight have a higher chance of early wrinkles. Premier Spa and Laser Center recommends wearing sunscreen daily to protect yourself from the harmful UV rays.

Lifestyle

Our lifestyle greatly contributes to the health of our skin from the foods we consume to the products we use. Did you know wrinkles can be caused by dehydration? That’s right! Alcohol and smoking dehydrate the skin which in turn makes the skin dry and more likely to develop wrinkles. Regular smoking also accelerates the aging process by reducing blood supply to the skin. Premier Spa and Laser Center recommends drinking the recommended daily amount of water every day along with implementing lifestyle changes.

Treatments

Once the basics are taken into consideration, then you are able to look into the many treatments available to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Premier Spa and Laser Center offer anti-aging treatments such as IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), sublative, chemical peels, enzymes, and Clear + Brilliant. Neuromodulators such as Botox and Dysport can help delay, alleviate, or soften expression lines in the frown, forehead, and eye areas. Treatments such as chemical peels and topical creams can help stimulate collagen growth, which over time, begins to dissipate. Come into Premier Spa and Laser Center today for a consultation with our licensed aestheticians that will review your options to correct your concerns.

Premier Spa and Laser Center

Stress, smoking, sun exposure, and diet are just a few things that play havoc on our skin and health but they can be addressed quickly with lifestyle changes, unlike our genetic make-up. With our deep understanding and appreciation for aesthetic concerns at all ages, the service offerings are based around the common conditions that both women and men experience. The physicians have carefully selected each technology based on its safety profile and proven scientific results. Premier Spa and Laser Center’s mission is to provide clients a place where comfort, beauty, and personalized attention combine to create a relaxing, rejuvenating experience.

Keep Your Skin Hydrated This Summer: HydraFacial

Premier Spa Laser — Tue, 21 Jul 2020 16:05:51 +0000

The hot summer weather is here and we must protect our skin from the heat. It is a busy time of year so we need something with no downtime or irritation to get the job done. Premier Spa and Laser Center Delaware offers a treatment for everyone called the HydraFacial. The HydraFacial is an invigorating treatment that takes as little as 30 minutes. It delivers long-term skin health and can be tailored to meet the specific needs of all skin types, even the most sensitive skin. Your aesthetician will customize and choose specific serums for your unique skin conditions and needs.

The Process

Our certified aestheticians at Premier Spa and Laser Center Delaware will begin by cleansing your skin to uncover a new layer of skin with gentle exfoliation and relaxing resurfacing. Next comes extractions to remove debris from the pores with painless suction, then hydrate the skin with intense moisturizers. Lastly, the skin’s surface is fused with antioxidants and peptides to maximize your glow and protect your skin.

Afterward

You may put on makeup and return to your normal activities right after the treatment since there is no downtime. Many clients report seeing visible skin refinement and an even, radiant skin tone after just one treatment. The smooth results and hydration may last 5 to 7 days or even longer. Premier Spa and Laser Center Delaware does not believe in quick fixes; one treatment per month can improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, brown spots, oily and congested skin. Premier Spa and Laser Center Delaware highly recommends continued HydraFacial treatments to maintain skin health results.

Premier Spa & Laser Center

The HydraFacial treatment removes dead skin cells and extracts impurities while simultaneously bathing the new skin with cleansing, hydrating, and moisturizing serums containing vital nutrients like antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid. Ultimately, the treatment is soothing, refreshing, non-irritating, and immediately beneficial. Premier Spa & Laser Center’s mission is to provide clients a place where comfort, beauty, and personalized attention combine to create a relaxing, rejuvenating experience.

Top Reasons to Get a HydraFacial

Premier Spa Laser — Tue, 24 Mar 2020 12:38:57 +0000

The HydraFacial is a moisturizing, non-invasive treatment that removes dead skin cells and extracts impurities along with the use of cleansing, hydrating serums that contain vital nutrients like hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, and peptides. This non-irritating treatment is immediately beneficial to your skin. Here’s why you need HydraFacials in your life:

Customization

HydraFacials are totally customizable. Your aesthetician may help choose specific serums and customize the treatment for your individual skin needs and conditions. It does not use grit to exfoliate the skin, rather, it uses controlled pulses of serum that gently remove the dead skin cells. HydraFacials are wonderful in that they can be completely customized for your specific skin type.

Skin Texture

HydraFacials can reward you with refined pores and more even complexion. One treatment each month can improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, brown spots, and oily, congested skin. It extracts dirt and buildup from deep within your pores, leaving you with glowing skin.

Fast & Effective

HydraFacials can take as little as 30 minutes for a treatment. With no pain or downtime involved, you can apply make-up to your skin and return to your normal everyday activities right after leaving the room. You can get this treatment done on your lunch break and return back to the office in time for your next meeting. The HydraFacial helps eliminate small problems, such as clogged pores, skin discoloration, and fine lines, before they turn into permanent features.

Glowing Skin

Not only does the HydraFacial gently exfoliate your skin, but it also adds antioxidants that replenish your skin. The skin is also infused with hyaluronic acid, which helps secure moisture to hydrate the skin. You will leave your treatment with hydrated, smooth, bright skin. It is great for treating a wide variety of skin conditions, including hyperpigmentation, sun damage, acne scarring, and more.

If your goal is to have fresh, glowing skin for an important event, one HydraFacial treatment will do the trick. To maintain your healthy skin, aim for one treatment each month. If you want an extra boost, try one of our Deluxe HydraFacial treatments.

What to Avoid Before Juvederm Treatment

Premier Spa Laser — Thu, 12 Mar 2020 12:38:47 +0000

Juvederm, a dermal filler, is used to restore volume and youthfulness to your skin. It uses hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring sugar found in the body that provides the skin with moisture, volume, and elasticity. It acts as a hydrating agent and plumps the desired area. Hyaluronic acid also boosts the skin’s production of collagen. When you are planning on getting a Juvederm treatment, there are a few things you should avoid to prepare for a comfortable, effective experience.

Aspirin

Any aspirin-based painkillers should not be used during the week before your treatment. You should also avoid Motrin or any other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS). Painkillers such as these can affect the bloodstream in a way that can lead to bruising from the treatment.

Anti-Aging Products

Anti-aging products can cause a change in the skin’s natural consistency, which may lead to bruising or unpredictable results. Avoid anti-aging products for two days before your session.

Vitamin E

People often use Vitamin E for its immune system benefits as well as its potential for lowering the risk of cancer and heart disease. It can have effects similar to those of aspirin on NSAIDS on treatment, so refrain from taking Vitamin E for 7-10 days before your treatment.

Gingko Biloba

Many people use Gingko Biloba because it is known to reduce anxiety and depression, improve circulation, and encourage heightened brain function. The improved circulation can lead to changes in the bloodstream that are not beneficial during treatment. Do not use Gingko Biloba for 7-10 days before treatment.

Fish Oil

Fish oil is often taken to encourage weight loss, improve heart health, and get healthier skin. However, these effects may be problematic for dermal filler treatments. Avoid any fish oil supplements for 7-10 days before treatment.

Alcohol

It is extremely important not to have alcohol in your system when treatment is performed, so do not consume alcohol during the 24 before your session. Avoid it altogether on the day before treatment.

Explaining the Jessner Peel

Premier Spa Laser — Tue, 21 Jan 2020 17:13:48 +0000

The Jessner peel is a safe, effective way to maintain the skin. It is defined as a medium-depth chemical peel, meaning it falls between superficial peels and deep peels. Superficial peels have little to no downtime while deep peels require weeks, perhaps months, of downtime. The Jessner solution affects only the upper layer of the dermis in a controlled manner.

The Solution

A Jessner’s peel is a combination of salicylic acid, resorcinol, and lactic acid. Salicylic acid dissolves hardened skin cells within the epidermal layer of skin, lactic acid adds hydration, and resorcinol is used due to its natural antiseptic properties. The solution is a leave-in, self-neutralizing solution. It must be left completely undisturbed, with no water or oil, in the skin for at least six to eight hours post-treatment. The peeling process will take several days to complete its course.

Benefits

The Jessner peel is used to reduce dark patches and age spots, even out skin tone, smooth fine lines and wrinkles, reduce the appearance of scars, and treat melasma, hyperpigmentation, and acne scars. The solution triggers an inflammatory response from the skin layers below the top-most layer. This leads to the removal of actinic keratoses, or sun damage, and the improvement of minor hyperpigmentation, scarring, wrinkles, and elasticity.

Preparation

Before a Jessner peel, Premier Spa & Laser Center requires a consultation with an aesthetician as there are contraindications that may make someone not an ideal candidate for this peel. You may be asked to follow a certain skincare plan for two to four weeks before your peel to reduce side effects and increase the effectiveness of the peel.

During the Procedure

To begin your chemical peel, your skin will be cleaned thoroughly to remove any products or oil. The peel is typically applied with a gauze, brush, or cotton-tipped applicator. You may feel burning or stinging and your skin may feel tight and dry. It may be sensitive for a few days following the procedure.

After the Peel

Following the peel, your skin may be red, swollen, and tight. Your skin may develop brown batches, but these spots rarely remain after the skin has healed. It may take five to seven days to develop new skin and can take 7-14 days to heal completely to see full results.

Restoring Volume WIth Dermal Fillers

Premier Spa Laser — Thu, 25 Apr 2019 17:55:10 +0000

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers help diminish facial lines and restore volume and fullness in the face. Visible signs of aging can be traced to volume loss. As we age, our faces naturally lose subcutaneous fat. The facial muscles are then working closer to the skin surface, so smile lines and crow’s feet become more apparent. This makes your face look a little hollow. Dermal fillers can replace lost volume to help smooth wrinkles, plump the lips, and restore a more youthful appearance.

What To Expect During Treatment

Before

Dermal filler injections are non-surgical and are typically completed during an office visit. Your initial treatment will begin with a consultation, during which you will meet with your cosmetic surgeon to discuss your concerns and goals. The risks associated with dermal fillers are minimal, however, you need to fully disclose your medical history, allergies, or medications to your doctor.

During

Just before the actual treatment, the area will be cleaned, and you will be given a topic anesthetic to numb the area before injection. Many filler products contain lidocaine, a mild anesthetic which helps reduce discomfort during and after your treatment. Your provider will then inject a precise amount of filler strategically beneath the skin.

After

Depending on the product and the area(s) being treated, you should be able to notice results immediately after receiving filler injections. Some patients may experience mild bruising and swelling, but these are not permanent. After a few days, these symptoms should subside. Right after treatment, you are able to go back to your daily activities. However, some surgeons ask that you take a day off from exercising and strenuous activity,

Steps of IPL Treatments

Premier Spa Laser — Thu, 25 Apr 2019 15:40:24 +0000

High-intensity pulse light therapy, known as IPL, uses different wavelengths of light the clear the skin. The pulsed light can reach down to the second layer of the skin, without harming the top layer. The light is absorbed by the pigmented skin cells and converted to heat, which destroys unwanted pigment. This treatment is great for treating freckles, birthmarks, varicose veins, rosacea, and age or sunspots. It can be performed on almost all areas of the skin, but the most popular are the face, neck, chest, arms, and hands.

How to Prepare

The first step of an IPL treatment is scheduling a consultation. When you meet with one of our skilled aestheticians, they will examine your skin and create a treatment plan that is perfect for you. Premier Spa’s new Visia Complexion Analysis System allows us to determine the exact condition your skin is in, so we can track how your skin is making progress through treatments. Before treatment, you will need to avoid tanning beds, waxing, chemical peels and drugs that increase bleeding risk such as ibuprofen.

Steps of the Treatment

When you come in for your first IPL treatment, your aesthetician will begin by cleaning your skin. Next, a cool gel is applied and you are ready to begin. The pulsed light uses a combination of radiofrequency and broad-spectrum light to fade the unwanted pigment. Every treatment lasts 20 to 30 minutes, and we recommend three to five treatments that are spaced four to six weeks apart.

The Results

There is no downtime with IPL, so patients can resume their normal activities immediately. A few hours after treatment you may notice your skin is red like a sunburn, but this will only last a couple of hours. You will want to avoid hot water until the skin is fully healed. Also, you may notice an increase in pigmentation, and this is because the pulsed light removed it and it is now rising to the surface. Furthermore, you will notice a gradual improvement in your skin’s tone and texture as new healthy skin cells evolve.

Slow The Aging Process

Premier Spa Laser — Mon, 08 Apr 2019 21:26:42 +0000

Unfortunately, we cannot stop the aging process, but we can help slow it down! It’s never too early to start taking preventative measures against fine lines and wrinkles. Neuromodulators such as Botox and Dysport can help delay, alleviate or soften expression lines in the frown, forehead and eye areas. Dermal fillers soften laugh lines, restore fullness where lost, and plumps lips. Chemical peels and topical creams can help stimulate collagen growth, which over time we begin to lose. Here are a few anti-aging procedures we specialize in here at Premier Spa & Laser Center.

IPL – Intense Pulsed Light

IPL or high-intensity pulse light therapy is another option for those who do not have downtime. Furthermore, these people may also be good candidates for laser skin resurfacing or chemical peels. Our IPL device uses a combination of radiofrequency and broad-spectrum light to safely fade or eliminate sun spots, facial flushing, broken capillaries, freckles, redness, and more. The face, neck, chest, arms, and hands are the most common areas where this treatment works best. Similarly, some areas like the back and legs are also areas where treatment can be used. IPL works best on lighter skin types that are not tanned. We recommend avoiding sun exposure during times of this treatment.

Sublative

Premier Spa & Laser Center now offers you a more affordable laser skin resurfacing with less downtime. The Sublative Skin Rejuvenation treatment is a unique procedure which uses fractionated bi-polar radio frequency to deliver effective but controlled treatment for mild to moderate wrinkles. Further reducing acne scars and large pores, as well as creating smoother more elastic texture. Radiofrequency (RF) energy is precisely directed into the skin in the form of a matrix. Healthy skin around the matrix dot accelerates the healing process of the skin. Post-treatment, new collagen, and healthy skin cells are produced. The Sublative laser penetrates more deeply than creams and peels. It also addresses your skin’s overall tone and texture more effectively than injectables.

Chemical Peels

You may have tried an over the counter treatment at home or had one at a spa, but the most effective peels are those performed by a medical professional such as a licensed aesthetician. Premier Spa & Laser Center customizes their peels to meet the needs of their clients. A chemical peel consists of applying a chemical solution to the targeted area to superficially remove (peel) the outer epidermal layers of skin which hold onto damage and are often rough and dry. The type of chemical used will depend on your skin type and skin condition. These treatments can improve fine lines, pore size, sun-damaged skin, uneven skin coloring, and light acne scars. The number of treatments will be determined at the time of consultation to achieve the best results for your skin.
