As we age, it’s fairly common to notice pigmentation, loss of skin laxity, fine lines, wrinkles… etc. These effects are associated with the natural aging process, as well as sun exposure and other environmental factors. We know it can be intimidating to schedule an appointment if you are not exactly sure what laser treatment you would benefit the most from. At MidAmerica Medical Spa, our providers prioritize your concerns, but will also make honest recommendations for treatments that they feel will benefit your overall results. Oftentimes, these recommendations will include lasers that will improve your overall skin quality.
Laser resurfacing treatments are beloved by both staff and patients here at MidAmerica. Don’t get us wrong, we love our injectables. However, lasers offer a greater opportunity to reverse some of the damage caused by aging and the sun, as well as prevent these effects from worsening while stimulating collagen. Our Sciton machine is a versatile tool when it comes to addressing skin concerns because it allows our providers to customize the depth to which the laser can go in the dermis. So, what laser treatment would be the best fit for you? Read more about the differences between each laser treatment and how they can address your skin concerns.
BBL Hero
This treatment targets red and brown pigment on the surface of the skin. It will also help slow down aging with its unique technology that actually tricks your cells into acting like younger cells. It is similar to an IPL, but it is much more customizable and able to treat even the most stubborn areas. This treatment cannot be done if you have melasma.
Halo
Halo, both an ablative and non-ablative laser, penetrates deeper into the dermis to stimulate collagen and rejuvenate the skin. With Halo, you will notice dramatic results to your overall skin quality, such as a reduction in fine lines, wrinkles, pore size, and discoloration, while improving the skin’s reflectivity and glow.
NanoLaserPeel
This treatment is commonly referred to as a “weekend peel.” It offers exfoliation with minimal downtime, which makes it a great starter treatment. This will give the skin a glow and reveal smoother, brighter skin. Great for all skin types.
MicroLaserPeel
If you are not concerned about downtime and want to target texture and wrinkles, this is the treatment for you. The MicoLaserPeel removes the top layer of skin, which will resurface the treated area. This treatment will refresh the skin, leaving a brighter and more youthful complexion behind. This treatment can be combined with BBL Hero to target surface-level pigment as well! Great for most skin types.
Due to the pre and post care for the following laser treatments, we do require you to have a consultation prior to treatment. What can you expect during your consultation?
In a complimentary consultation, you will have the opportunity to:
-Discuss your concerns and what you’d like to target short term versus long term
-Complete a VISIA skin analysis
-Discuss your price point
-Discuss downtime desired
From this discussion, your provider(s) will make recommendations, and you can book your treatment once the consultation is concluded.
To schedule a consultation, call or text 618-288-7855 or fill out one of our contact forms. We typically book about 1-2 weeks out and evenings are about 3-4 weeks out. Let’s get your laser journey started!
