Acne Scars

Problems with skin laxity and texture can affect your self-esteem. As your skin is no longer able to produce collagen as it did in your youth, you are more susceptible to wrinkling, skin sagging, scarring, or even developing age spots.

Luckily, there is a solution, and the Sylfirm X Ultimate Edition RF microneedling procedure is one of the newest treatments that can help you solve skin laxity problems. At Allure Image, we offer this radiofrequency (RF) microneedling treatment to anyone in need of it.

Candidates

Anyone can be a good candidate for Sylfirm X, regardless of skin type. If you notice the early signs of aging or any pigmentation issues, then Sylfirm X might be the right choice for you. The treatment can help you with various pigmentation issues, including melasma and rosacea. Atrophic scars and stretch marks may also be reduced by opting for Sylfirm X.Those looking for skin rejuvenation benefits may also prove to be good candidates for the Sylfirm X Ultimate RF microneedling procedure. It can help you with wrinkles, fine lines, enlarged pores, rhytides, and skin laxity. As with any other procedure, you should have realistic expectations as the results may depend on the severity of the condition. Sylfirm X is not recommended for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Also, if you are currently undergoing treatment (i.e., blood thinners, radiation, or chemo), you may not be a good candidate for Sylfirm X.

Sylfirm X uses dual-wave radiofrequency microneedling to send heat into your skin and stimulate collagen production. The treatment can handle not only issues with skin laxity but may also address pigmentation issues. As the needles puncture your skin and create micro-channels, the handheld tool delivers heat for a more pronounced rejuvenation. To put it in simple terms, the RF microneedling process will heat your dermis and deeper skin layers. By doing so, it will trigger the production of new collagen, improving conditions like fine lines, wrinkles, and even scarring or pigmentation. The handheld unit can be set on continuous waveform and pulsed waveform. When set on the continuous waveform, it can help reduce wrinkles and fine lines by stimulating collagen production. On the other hand, when set on the pulse waveform, it can break down pigments and reduce skin conditions like redness, acne, melasma, rosacea, and more.

One of the main advantages of the Sylfirm X Ultimate Edition treatment is that it comes with little potential for downtime. Most patients can return to their daily habits immediately after the treatment. That being said, since your skin can be quite sensitive at this point, you may want to take the day off if you have a strenuous job.After the treatment, you may notice some mild redness and swelling in the treatment area. More often than not, the swelling will go down in a couple of hours, but it can take up to a few days for some people. Cold compresses in the first few hours can help you keep the swelling down.As already mentioned, your skin can be quite sensitive at this point, so you may want to refrain from touching it in the first few days. However, if you do touch your skin, make sure your hands are clean. You should be able to wear makeup and other skincare products after a day or two and don’t forget to use sunblock, especially if you are planning to go outdoors.

The duration of the Sylfirm X results will depend on factors like the condition you are treating, your skin type, and the number of treatments you receive. Usually, you should be able to enjoy the results for at least a couple of months, but they can easily last for more than one year. It’s important to note that the Sylfirm X treatment aims to stimulate your body’s natural collagen production and healing process. Still, factors like sun exposure, smoking, or other environmental elements can interfere with this process. So, to make the most out of your Sylfirm X results, it is important that you maintain a good skincare routine and healthy lifestyle. Avoid excessive sun exposure as much as possible and wear sunblock when it cannot be avoided. To maintain results, it is recommended that you undergo repeat sessions every year.

Acne Scars

Platelet rich plasma (PRP) uses platelets from your own blood to restore hair growth, rejuvenate your skin, and repair scars and stretch marks.

The platelets, one type of blood cells, contain growth factors that can trigger cell proliferation, speed healing and stimulate tissue regeneration in the treated area.U sing PRP in combination with Micro-needling can help remodel and repair skin damage and create new skin.

 

How is my PRP collected for use in the treatment?

Step 1: Utilizing a specialized blood collection tube, a practitioner draws a small amount of blood similar to what is required for a basic lab test. Step 2: The tube is then placed into a centrifuge which spins the blood at a very high speed, causing the platelets to separate from other components of the blood. Step 3: Once the platelets are concentrated into the plasma they can be applied to the treatment area. Activation causes platelets to release essential growth factors and signaling proteins, which are responsible for the healing process.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections are a great option for almost anyone because it is a natural procedure with minimal side effects.

The results of PRP treatment are most noticeable after at least six months, and are not permanent; patients may require touch-up injections at least once a year.

Acne Scars

Spectra Laser Toning is a safe, gentle and effective treatment ideal for certain types of pigmented lesions such as melasma and colasma.

Spectra Laser Toning is two part procedure involving the application of a photo-enhancer with laser energy to reduce visible pigmentation. Laser toning not only improves the texture and unevenness of the skin, but also reduces pore size.

What is Melasma?

Melasma is a skin condition characterized by brown patches on the skin often common among women. These tan light patches or spots appear symmetrically on the cheeks and around the eyes. These are generally the result of hormonal changes during the aging process or sun exposure. This can also occur during pregnancy or in women taking birth control.

Everyone’s skin responds a bit differently, and your results will depend on your compliance with your clinician’s instructions, however, most patients begin to see results between their second and third treatments.

No. Patients return to normal activity immediately.

To begin, a topical anesthetic cream is applied to the treatment area roughly 30 – 60 minutes in advance of the procedure. The device’s tiny insulated needles are then used to penetrate deep into the dermis and effectively heat the tissue to the desired temperature within microseconds. Not including the time required for the local anesthetic cream to take effect, the entire process takes approximately 30 – 60 minutes, depending upon the area being treated. Afterwards the body’s natural healing process immediately kicks into gear to produce a new, healthier, tighter skin structure.

This depends upon the depth of the lesions and how compliant you are with the treatment protocol. ‍ We typically see our melasma patients once a quarter, but this, too, can vary patient to patient depending on the hormonal conditions involved.

]]> Dermaplaning https://www.allureimage.com/treatments/dermaplaning/ Tue, 08 Apr 2025 08:00:33 +0000 https://allureimage.wpenginepowered.com/?post_type=treatments&p=2101

Acne Scars

Dermaplaning is a cosmetic procedure that removes the top layers of your skin. The procedure aims to remove fine wrinkles and deep acne scarring, as well as make the skin’s surface look smooth.

It is a method of exfoliation that consists of using a 10 gauge scalpel to gently scrape off the top layer of dull, dead skin cells in order to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion. Dermaplaning is recommended for all skin types except those with acneic skin. Dermaplaning also allows for greater penetration of skincare products and creates a flawless canvas for makeup to glide on smoothly.

What will the results be?

You’ll immediately look more radiant with a more even skin tone and texture. All of your peach fuzz will be gone, which is why first-timers say their skin has never felt so soft before.

Dermaplaning is a painless procedure and can be compared to the sensation of shaving your legs, but in this case, it’s on your face. First, the aesthetician will cleanse and thoroughly dry your skin. Next, she’ll pull an area of your skin taut with one hand, and hold a sterile 10 gauge blade at a 45 degree angle in the other hand and use short, swift strokes to scrape off dead skin cells and peach fuzz.

There are no side effects and zero downtime. After the treatment, your skin will be highly sensitive to sun exposure and may already look very pink, so be sure to wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to reduce the risk of hyperpigmentation.

Dermaplaning is recommended for all skin types except those with acneic skin. If you have deep cystic acne, wait until breakouts are clear before trying this treatment. This is a great treatment if you are pregnant or nursing and want exfoliation without the risk of harsh chemicals absorbing into the blood stream and potentially harming your baby.

Dermaplaning removes 21 days worth of dead skin cells, so it’s best to allow the skin to complete its rejuvenation cycle before your next treatment.

]]> CoolPeel Laser Resurfacing https://www.allureimage.com/treatments/coolpeel-laser-resurfacing/ Tue, 08 Apr 2025 08:00:08 +0000 https://allureimage.wpenginepowered.com/?post_type=treatments&p=2100

Acne Scars

Coolpeel’s incredible laser treatment can reduce fine lines and take years of aging off your face without any kind of painful surgical procedure.

CoolPeel is a brand new way to safely and comfortably deliver the benefits of a traditional CO2 resurfacing treatment, with significantly less downtime and aftercare. By targeting just the superficial layer of skin tissue, damaged skin is removed revealing younger and healthier looking skin.

Many advances have been made to improve the side effects of CO2 treatments but ONLY the Coolpeel can deliver a fractional ablative treatment without the downtime. There is minimal risk of hyperpigmentation, demarcation or induced infection. Benefits of CoolPeel Laser Resurfacing: Reduction of fine lines, Minimize sun damage, Minimize pore size, Improve skin textureNo real downtime,

How does the Coolpeel work?

A Coolpeel laser treatment can only be done using the SmartXide Tetra CO2 laser. The Tetra is the latest, most advanced CO2 laser from DEKA, a global leader in aesthetic technology. Only Tetra can control its output to deliver high energy in extremely short-pulses to deliver impressive superficial, skin resurfacing results without the lingering heat that would traditionally damage the surrounding skin. The lack of unnecessary heat is why we call it cool – get it? – and how you get an immediate aesthetic effect with minimal downtime.

You will start noticing improvements after one week. The collagen production has been stimulated, and your skin resurfacing has begun. You will see real improvements as your outermost layers of damaged, dull skin cells are shed and replaced with younger, healthy cells. Texture issues, sun damage, age spots and pigmentation, overall dull skin — these will all improve dramatically beginning after about a week. Your new, healthier skin will continue to reveal itself moving forward.

These are permanent improvements in your skin thanks to the high energy delivered by the Tetra laser. Of course, your skin will continue to age. But if you protect your skin from the sun, you’ll enjoy these improvements for a long time.

These are ablative procedures, just not in the old way using CO2 lasers where significant recovery was necessary. CoolPeel delivers the same kind of results with really no downtime. Still, these aren’t meant to be done every month, as you would with a treatment such as a superficial peel. We have found that one to three treatments deliver the kind of results patients seek. We’ll discuss the spacing of your sessions at your consultation. From there, for continued renewal, yearly maintenance CoolPeel treatments would be a good plan.

One of the main benefits of a Coolpeel, is that there is minimal downtime. You should expect to be a little red, as if you have a sunburn, for a day, or two, but nothing should prevent you from returning to your normal daily activities. Your skin may feel dry and scaly as it heals so it is important to keep the skin hydrated.

Acne Scars

The Tetra CO2 from Cartessa is an ablative laser that resurfaces damaged skin by selectively target a fraction of the skin cells at the treatment site.

This process acts not only to target damaged cells, but also stimulates the growth of healthy skin and supportive collagen fibers. As the skin heals, dark spots fade, wrinkles smooth, and skin texture and complexion improve. One of the great benefits of the Tetra laser is the versatility it provides during treatment, enabling us to use a variety of settings to disperse the laser beam bursts across the treatment area. This reduces heat absorption by surrounding tissues, which can be very helpful for reducing down time after treatment.

The laser can be calibrated with a variety of settings, which allows us to fine-tune the treatment to your specific needs. We use this laser to treat issues like: Dark Spots, Birthmarks or Blotchy Spots, Acne Scars, Scars from Injury, Fine Lines & Wrinkles, and Rough Skin.

What happens during a CO2 Laser treatment?

When your treatment begins, you will be asked to sit in a comfortable chair, in a semi-reclining position. We will also place protective eyewear over your eyes, to ensure your safety. Once the procedure starts, we will use the CO2 laser to deliver bursts of laser energy to your skin. The sensation during this step of the procedure can be described as a rubber band snapping against the skin.

Yes. You will see permanent and complete skin regeneration and intensive stimulation of new collagen synthesis

Each patient’s situation is unique, and the number of treatments needed will depend on your skin condition and aesthetic goals. However, most patients may see dramatic improvement after just one treatment. However, a recommendation of two or more treatments may be needed depending on your goals.

We strongly recommend that any patients undergoing this procedure take a few days off work, to allow the skin to recover. This is especially important as the skin’s natural UV defenses will be weakened after treatment, which makes it imperative to avoid direct sun exposure.

Call us today to set up your free consultation. We’ll see if you’re a good candidate for Tetra CO2 Laser Resurfacing and work with you to develop a treatment plan.

]]> Laser Genesis https://www.allureimage.com/treatments/laser-genesis/ Mon, 07 Apr 2025 11:33:04 +0000 https://allureimage.wpenginepowered.com/?post_type=treatments&p=2064

Acne Scars

Laser Genesis effectively reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, tightens pores, reduces oil production, improves tone and texture, gets rid of sun damage and helps to diminish any redness on the skin.

Laser Genesis works by gently heating the dermis, which is located below the skin’s surface. Patients often find the treatment very soothing, as there is zero discomfort involved.

How does the Laser Genesis work?

The non-ablative heat-based technology of Laser Genesis provides the excellent results you seek by destroying acne-causing bacteria on and below the skin. It also goes deep into the skin to reduce redness and flushing as well as stimulate your body’s natural healing powers to ramp up collagen growth. This helps create results that are noticeable immediately, yet also delivers gradual improvements in the following months so that your youthful results look more natural.

Over the course of four to five treatments, Laser Genesis can help restore the skin’s youthful glow and appearance by smoothing out uneven texture caused by aging, sun damage or scars. You will see a more even, healthy complexion as large pores are reduced in size, and minor imperfections are diminished. The individual treatment results are subtle, but the overall effect of multiple treatments can be quite dramatic.

While some patients see results instantly, the general expectation is that you should see gradual results in 3-6 months while the new collagen is produced, which leads to creamier, smoother-looking skin with reduced pores, a more improved complexion, and a more radiant appearance.

This depends on the overall health of each person as well as on the condition being treated. Treatment for scars can bring permanent results, but for pigment issues like redness or rosacea, results typically last about 12 months. To maintain the desired effects from such issues, a maintenance session every 12 months is recommended. Often, if you avoid the sun or protect yourself from the sun and take great care of your skin, results can last longer.

Laser Genesis is a non-invasive procedure that is completely painless. Most people report feeling a warm tingling during the treatment.

Acne Scars

Microneedling with SkinPen® is a collagen-stimulating treatment great for general skin rejuvenation. It treats textural issues dealing with pores, acne scars, wrinkles, tightening, and more.

Another name for this treatment is collagen induction therapy, because Microneedling helps to stimulate your skin to regenerate collagen. Microneedling also causes your skin to plumpen and thicken, ultimately reducing the appearance of scars, fine lines and other skin texture changes.

How does microneedling work?

Microneedling involves thousands of tiny needles puncturing the top layer of your skin. The needle pricks create an injury, accelerating both the production of collagen and healing.It is an ideal treatment if you want to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, brown spots, fine lines, and pigmentation. The treatment also works to improve the overall texture of your skin.While microneedling may sound painful, it isn’t, provided the area is first numbed. After your procedure, your skin may be a little pink, and you may notice a few puncture wounds, but these fade within a few days.

It’s considered safe for most people who are in overall good health. The procedure isn’t safe for people who use certain acne medications or for women who are pregnant. You’ll experience minor redness and irritation for a few days after the procedure.

Microneedling is minimally invasive, requiring very little downtime. Expect redness or even pinpoints of bleeding on days one-three after the procedure. By day two, most patients look like they have a sunburn and they may be dry. The skin is usually fully recovered by day four after the procedure.

You can safely book your microneedling treatments every 4 to 6 weeks until you get the results you want. If your goal is scar reduction, you’ll likely need 3 to 6 treatments. For collagen induction, 3 treatments is a good starting point.
