From sunshine to stress, your skin naturally and gradually reacts to the conditions it faces on a daily basis. Years of exposure tend to tire out the skin, leading to noticeable damage. The cosmetic effects can include discoloration, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, or visible scarring.
Even with the right protection, your skin still requires some extra attention every once in a while to achieve that refreshed look and feel. When it’s time for a little self-care in the form of premium skin rejuvenation, explore some of Vitalyc’s nonsurgical laser revitalization procedures.
As opposed to surgical procedures, laser revitalization is noninvasive, and pain is incredibly minimal. Plus, recovery time is significantly shorter, with noticeable improvement sometimes immediately.
Ablative vs. Nonablative Resurfacing
When exploring your nonsurgical rejuvenation options, consider whether the desired laser treatment is ablative or nonablative. For reference, here’s the difference:
Ablative laser resurfacing treatments work by removing the most superficial top layer of skin, which makes these procedures slightly more invasive than their nonablative counterparts. In other words, clients can experience some initial swelling or irritation and may require a longer recovery period.
Nonablative laser resurfacing treatments work by heating up lower, underlying skin tissue while keeping the surface layer intact. This considerably less-invasive technique triggers the body’s response to create new collagen. As a result, the skin is less visibly irritated and warrants much less, if any, downtime.
Skin Rejuvenation Treatment Options
Considering that the skin rejuvenation market is an estimated $2.2 billion industry, a wide range of treatment options exist to restore your skin’s vibrance. The skin care experts at Vitalyc offer only top-tier, proven methods for revitalizing skin, including:
Moxi
Our advanced Moxi laser treatment by Sciton uses a gentle, nonablative fractionated laser to produce radiant skin. Safe for use on virtually any skin type, this method treats mild to moderate skin problems (e.g., wrinkles, fine lines, pigmentation, sun damage, texture, pores, and scarring).
Service typically takes about 15 minutes after 30 minutes of numbing. Clients can expect initial warmth to the treatment area and some redness and swelling with peppering that occurs over the next couple of days as the client heals. Results can be seen in as little as one week with full results in three months.
BroadBand Light
The BroadBand Light device transfers light energy to the dermis and epidermis, stimulating the body’s ability to regenerate new skin cells. Traditionally used to improve hyperpigmentation (dark spots) and redness, BBL also offers amazing anti-aging benefits. Specialists have adapted this procedure to address various other issues, such as redness, deep and surface sun damage, and other imperfections, such as vessels' overall discoloration.
The Forever Young BBL uses BroadBand Light to penetrate the skin, causing improvements not only at the surface level but also at the skin’s molecular level, allowing it to behave like skin that’s decades younger!
Since this method is applicable to any part of the body, service time varies depending on the size of the treatment area but tends not to take longer than an hour. Most clients report instant recovery apart from some temporary pigmentation and redness or swelling and noticeable results in 3-5 treatments. Clients may experience a mild sunburn sensation, temporary peppering, and redness post-treatment.
HALO Hybrid Fractional
The HALO hybrid fractional laser skin rejuvenation system by Sciton uses the world’s only hybrid fractional laser to simultaneously deliver nonablative and ablative wavelengths to the treatment area. Safe for use anywhere on the body and for all skin types, this innovative resurfacing technique can be custom-tailored to meet any client’s aesthetic goals.
The process takes anywhere from 15-90 minutes, and the recommended number of treatments ranges from a large number of mild sessions to a handful of more aggressive treatments. Clients usually notice results after just one or two higher-intensity treatments. Temporary swelling immediately after the procedure is normal and should subside.
Comparing Treatments
These various state-of-the-art rejuvenation techniques all offer unmatched benefits with little to no recovery time or physical discomfort. However, the methods can vary slightly in terms of service times, noticeable effects, and final results.
Moxi treatments employ a nonablative laser. To reiterate, this type of resurfacing method doesn’t remove the top skin layer, meaning there is very minimal, if any, recovery time.
BBL treatments emit visible light to remove pigmentation and redness. Whereas nonablative lasers don’t cause significant tissue damage, ablative treatments remove tissue from the area.
Because the HALO hybrid treatment combines ablative and nonablative technology, clients can expect a degree of swelling, redness, and roughness to the treated areas for 5-7 days following a session.
Regardless of the skin rejuvenation service you decide on, our professional team will ensure you remain comfortable and relaxed throughout your initial consultation and all treatment sessions. Our clinicians use a topical numbing cream prior to delivery to reduce pain and perform all procedures with a confident and gentle hand. Numbing cream is used before the majority of our skin rejuvenation treatments to improve comfort and make these procedures virtually painless!
