Now that summer is behind us, the kids are back in school, and Pumpkin Spice is everywhere, it is time to prepare your skin for the holidays. From the stress of going back to school and the summer sun damage, your skin is paying the price. If you want your skin to glow in your family holiday cards and at your office Christmas party, it is time to schedule your laser sessions to get your skin looking holiday-ready! Here at Tampa Bay Total Wellness, we only use top-of-the-line equipment, meaning all our facial lasers are Sciton. Sciton has developed some of the world’s most sought-after aesthetic treatments that are safe and highly effective. Let’s take a look at our options!
HALO
The Sciton HALO laser treatment is a hybrid fractional laser that combines deep tissue rejuvenation with skin surface renewal. It is typically used on the face, neck, and decolletage, but it can also be used on the hands, arms, and legs. This laser treats sun damage, visible signs of aging, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and uneven skin tone by using both ablative and non-ablative wavelengths simultaneously. This resurfacing treatment also increases the production of collagen and elastin to promote long-term improvement for youthful, glowing skin. All skin types can tolerate the HALO laser, and most patients can safely and effectively receive it.
To ensure patient comfort, you will be numbed before the treatment. Most patients report warm and tingly sensations during the treatment with little to no feelings of pain. You will be very red immediately following the treatment and will likely feel as if you have a sunburn. Within a week, you will start to see an improved appearance. With noticeable results developing over several weeks as the damaged skin cells are replaced by new, healthy skin cells. It is not recommended that you have this treatment within 2 weeks of any big event or photographs. For best results, have 2-4 treatments per year.
BBL HERO
The Sciton BBL HERO treatment is a miracle worker for the face and the body. The HERO works to reduce visible signs of aging anywhere on your body! It effectively addresses an extensive range of skin concerns, from age and sunspots, freckles, small facial veins, small blood vessels, rosacea and redness, acne, pigmentation, loss of firmness, and aging skin. It is suitable for skin types I-V. This laser harnesses the power of broadband light to combat the appearance of aging and sun damage for a more rejuvenated, refreshed, and noticeably younger-looking complexion.
Some patients opt for topical numbing and others do not. The treatment time is fast, usually five to ten minutes. During the treatment, your TBTW provider will utilize a laser handpiece which will allow her to precisely monitor the speed and ensure an even application of laser light and optimal efficacy. Your skin will feel warm and tingly during the treatment. The skin may be red for a couple hours after treatment. No downtime at all, you can apply makeup and return to normal life immediately. For best results, several treatments may be needed.
MOXI
The Sciton MOXI is best for “prejuvenation,” or preventing damage when possible, and offering light rejuvenation solutions to minimize the future impact of aging. While it was designed for general prejuvenation, meaning ideal for younger women, it does correct hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, irregular skin texture, mild sun damage, and early signs of aging such as fine lines and dark spots. It promotes skin renewal and stimulates collagen production. The skin will have a more even, glowing look.
To ensure patient comfort, you will be numbed before the treatment. This treatment is fast: the actual time the laser is on your skin is usually about ten minutes. During the treatment, your TBTW provider will utilize a laser handpiece that has a single-use tip for greater safety and improved hygiene that will allow her to precisely monitor the speed and ensure an even application of laser light and optimal efficacy. For the first 24 hours, the skin will be red, and minimal skincare should be used. The skin will feel like sandpaper for up to a week after. It is not recommended that you have this treatment within 2 weeks of any big event or photographs. For best results, have 3-4 treatments per year.
