With summer approaching, it’s the best time to start thinking ahead and exploring your beach body goals. At Laser Skin & Wellness, we offer non-surgical treatments that can help you boost your figure and your confidence in time for summer. With our best technologies, you don’t need to undergo surgery or miss out on your favorite summer activities. Here’s what to know about our best med spa procedures to get beach body ready.

Morpheus8

Morpheus8 is an RF microneedling device that can tighten skin using controlled wounds and gentle heating. It works like other forms of microneedling where it generates microscopic pinholes in the skin that prompt it to generate healthy new collagen. At the same time, it emits radiofrequency energy to generate heat and contract the deeper layers of the skin.

Morpheus8 Can Tighten Skin

If you’ve lost weight or undergone pregnancy, you might be left with stretched or loose skin. It can be difficult to feel confident in your favorite swimsuits with sagging skin in areas like the stomach, but Morpheus8 can produce noticeable skin tightening without the need for surgery. In fact, RF microneedling is doubly beneficial because the skin penetration allows the RF energy to reach the deep layers where it can more effectively contract and stimulate collagen. With just a few treatments, you can enjoy better definition in the face and body.

Morpheus8 Can Fade Stretch Marks

Stretch marks are another common concern for people who have lost weight or gone through pregnancy. Morpheus8 is actually one of the best options for stretch marks since it can help break them up and promote the growth of healthy new skin. It works best on stretch marks that are new – or reddish or purple in color.

Emsculpt Neo

Emsculpt Neo is one of the most popular new body sculpting treatments available. It uses focused electromagnetic stimulation of the muscles to build new muscle mass and burn fat at the same time. Additionally, this newest technology from Emsculpt Neo also emits radiofrequency energy to help contract and tighten skin, providing even better definition – and making it one of the most comprehensive technologies for achieving a beach-ready body. With as few as four treatments, you can see noticeable improvement in the tone and natural contours of your treatment areas. In addition to the improvements it can make to your abdomen and buttocks, it is also good for your biceps, triceps, love handles, calves, and inner and outer thighs!

Emsculpt Neo Can Boost Your Butt

Emsculpt Neo is an incredible way to lift and sculpt your butt without surgery. By building muscle and burning fat, it can quickly enhance the projection and definition of the butt. If you’re looking for a quick way to fill out your new favorite swimsuit, Emsculpt may be it.

Emsculpt Neo Can Define Your Stomach

The abdomen is one of the hardest areas in which to lose fat. No matter what you eat or what exercises you do, it can be frustrating to be left with pinchable fat. If you’re dreaming about visible definition in your stomach, Emsculpt Neo can achieve a trimmer and more sculpted look by enhancing muscle mass and tightening stretched or loose skin.

You may have heard of Morpheus8 as a way to rejuvenate aging skin in the face, but did you know Morpheus8 is an effective way to rejuvenate the body, too? In fact, it’s one of the best all-in-one body contouring devices available. Here’s what to know about Morpheus8 for body and how Laser Skin & Wellness can help you achieve your body goals with minimal downtime.

How does Morpheus8 for body work?

Morpheus8 is a radiofrequency microneedling device. It uses a specialized handpiece with thin, gold-coated needles that generate tiny wounds in the skin (up to 8mm deep), boosting collagen production. Additionally, these needles emit radiofrequency energy to generate gentle heat and further contract the skin. Over time, Morpheus8 can achieve a “shrink wrap” effect for better definition and skin quality. This can have a variety of benefits in facial rejuvenation and in body contouring.

What are the benefits of Morpheus8 for body?

Morpheus8 can achieve more than just skin tightening. It’s an effective option for a variety of body concerns including:

  • Skin laxity
  • Stretch marks and scars
  • Cellulite
  • Stubborn fat
  • Uneven skin texture
  • Rippling

Morpheus8 is equipped with a special “burst mode” technology that can administer radiofrequency energy at multiple depths in a single millisecond pulse. This improves downtime, treatment length, skin injury, uniformity, and customizability. With Morpheus8, you can achieve complete subdermal fat tissue remodeling without the need for incisions.

Additionally, Morpheus8 for body is safe for all skin types and drastically reduces the risk of hyperpigmentation. This makes it an effective option for many patients looking for non-surgical body contouring platforms that can address a variety of concerns and areas at once.

What areas can Morpheus8 for body treat?

Morpheus8 for body can treat virtually any area on the body. This includes:

  • Stomach
  • Upper arms
  • Buttocks
  • Knees
  • Bra fat
  • Thighs
  • Flanks
  • Hips

Anywhere that you’ve experienced concerns like stubborn fat, skin laxity, or cellulite can benefit from Morpheus8. Because of Morpheus8’s advanced technology, it can even be used for full-body rejuvenation.

What can I expect after Morpheus8 treatment?

After Morpheus8 for body, you can typically return to your regular schedule within 1-2 days. You may experience some redness and sensitivity, and you should make sure to keep the area moisturized with a staff-recommended moisturizer while your skin heals. Morpheus8 comes with drastically reduced downtime versus other body contouring devices, although you may require a package of 2-3 treatments for best results. Our team can help you determine your best options and treatment plan during your body contouring consultation.

Are you bothered by mild signs of aging like stubborn lines and wrinkles or areas of sagging skin? If so, we have a great solution for you! Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive treatment created to tighten lax skin and soften lines and wrinkles on the face and body.

Morpheus8 offers many benefits, including:

  • Increases collagen production
  • Tightens and lifts lax skin
  • Softens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Minimizes acne scarring
  • Fades stretch marks

Who Can Benefit?

The Morpheus8 treatment is a great treatment for both men and women! Aging doesn’t discriminate, and visible lines and lax skin can take a toll on self-esteem. If you are a healthy individual and would like to learn if this treatment is right for you, give us a call today to schedule a consultation.

How Does Morpheus8 Work?

This treatment utilizes radiofrequency (RF) energy combined with microneedling to remodel the skin. Combining these technologies allows for deeper penetration than other microneedling devices, stimulating collagen production for skin tightening and lifting for a refreshed appearance.

During your treatment, a topical numbing cream will be applied to clean skin to minimize discomfort. Then, a handheld device is moved across the skin to allow microneedles to create micro-wounds in the treatment areas. At the same time, the device will emit radiofrequency waves to penetrate the dermal layer. Treatment takes 40-60 minutes to complete depending on the number of treatment areas.

Is there Downtime Involved?

No! There is no downtime required following a Morpheus8 treatment which makes it such a popular procedure. You may experience some temporary and mild swelling and redness for about a week, but you can resume daily activities right away. Makeup can also be applied just a couple of days after treatment to camouflage redness. While healing we recommend avoiding direct sun exposure and keeping the area moisturized for ideal results.

Results will be seen a few days after treatment, and the skin’s look and feel will continue to improve as more collagen is created. Results will improve for up to 3-6 months. In order to maintain results, we recommend booking a treatment every 1-2 years.

If you’re looking for a way to reduce the appearance of wrinkles on your face, neck, or decolletage, but are wary of treatments involving incisions or needles, Sofwave may be perfect for you.

This FDA-approved device doesn’t use laser energy or microneedles to rebuild collagen, rather, it utilizes ultrasound energy for a treatment that works on all skin types and colors.

How Sofwave Works

It’s known that treatments for wrinkles and fine lines that rely on stimulating collagen production need to affect the mid-dermis, specifically at a depth of 1.5 millimeters below the surface. Some treatments do this chemically, others with light energy, and Sofwave, with ultrasound energy.

The Sofwave handpiece creates channels of heat energy at 1.5 mm below the skin that stimulate the body’s healing response and collagen production, a process called neocollagenesis. This results in a gradual and significant skin tightening effect that can erase fine lines and provide you with a full facial refresh.

Who is Sofwave For?

Simply put, Sofwave is for anyone who is unhappy with the appearance of mild to moderate facial wrinkles. Because it’s not a light-based treatment like IPL or fractional lasers, it is safe on all skin types. There’s no age restrictions either, as people begin losing collagen in the face as early as age 20, meaning there’s no wrong time to re-start that process with Sofwave.

What to Expect From Sofwave Treatment

During your appointment at Laser Skin and Wellness, we’ll first apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment area. As Sofwave warms the tissue beneath the skin, it can be slightly uncomfortable, which is mitigated by the cream and Sofwave’s cooling tip.

Depending on the size of the area being treated, Sofwave appointments last around 30 minutes and have no side effects, meaning you can get on with the rest of your day immediately after the treatment is over.

Does Sofwave Really Work?

Yes! As an FDA-approved therapy for skin tightening, multiple studies involving dozens of participants at several treatment centers have found that over 70% of participants were satisfied with their results and said they felt either improved or very much improved.

As a collagen stimulator, this treatment can take time to show results as the body uses its own resources to reduce wrinkles. In studies, it was found that patients saw substantial improvement after a single treatment within three months. Although no procedure or device will halt the process of aging, you will still enjoy the benefits of Sofwave for months or even years after they become apparent.

At Laser Skin & Wellness, we have recently added a new nonsurgical treatment called the Plasma Pen. The Plasma Pen is one of the most advanced, noninvasive skin tightening devices on the market. It can best be used in areas that we can not use a laser and improve sagging without the need for surgery. This new skin rejuvenation treatment is helping our team treat patients more effectively.

Benefits of the Plasma Pen

The aging process reduces the amount of collagen produced and causes the dermal layer to thin, this leads to wrinkled, sagging skin. The Plasma pen is designed to reverse this process and dramatically repair the skin to reduce the appearance of aging signs. Plasma Pen treatment is versatile and effective for treating numerous concerns, such as:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Crow’s Feet around the eyes
  • Loose skin around upper and lower eyelids

Plasma Pen vs. Plastic Surgery

Unlike plastic surgery treatments, the plasma pen does not require scalpels, stitches, or sutures because it is noninvasive and very low risk. This treatment is so gentle that it does not even require an injectable anesthetic. Also, the Plasma Pen is the only treatment that can be performed on the eyelids outside of plastic surgery. Patients can return to work the next day after treatment as there are minimal side effects and short recovery time.

How does Plasma Pen work?

The Plasma Pen device creates nitrogen plasma gas. During the treatment, the energy collects on the surface of the barrier and a gaseous flash of ionized plasma gas is safely released from about 1mm above the skin. This transfers to the epidermal layer of skin to create superficial trauma and plasma fibroblasts, which in turn results in impressive skin tightening and rejuvenation.

Treatment Options With the Plasma Pen

At Laser Skin & Wellness, we believe in offering our patients effective, quality care, the Plasma Pen is a part of that. There are many areas that can be treated with the Plasma Pen including the upper face, mid-face, lower face, and more but we mostly recommend the Plasma Pen for loose sagging upper and lower eyelids. We have many lasers to address all areas of the face and body, but Plasma Pen is the only device that can safely and effectly treat the eye area without surgery.

Request a Plasma Pen Consultation

If you have started to notice aging signs or have skin concerns, the Plasma Pen may be able to benefit you. The best way to know if you are a good candidate for this innovative treatment is by speaking with our team at Laser Skin & Wellness in Palm Beach Gardens and Lake Worth, FL. The consultation is complimentary and we will show you impressive before and after photos. To make an appointment call or text us at (561) 641-9490 or by filling out an online form.

Cosmetic surgery is a continually changing field with new procedures and treatments being available each year. One of the most popular methods of cosmetic treatment is with dermal fillers. Dermal fillers are minimally invasive cosmetic treatments that rejuvenate the skin by treating aging signs such as wrinkles and lost volume. Sculptra® is an injectable volumizing product that is very different from dermal fillers and was approved for cosmetic use by the FDA. For the past 10 years, our team at Laser Skin & Wellness has been offering Sculptra® to our patients who wish to revamp their skin without the need for surgery.

What is Sculptra®?

Sculptra® is an injectable product that helps to stimulate collagen for long-lasting results. The main ingredient in Sculptra® is poly-L-lactic acid which is classified as a collagen stimulator. This helps the skin look tighter, smoother, and firmer. You can enjoy the results from Sculptra® for up to two years or longer. Sculptra® is injected into the skin to diminish wrinkles, fine lines, and to restore fullness to aged skin. Some immediate results will be noticeable, but it can take a few months to see the most dramatic results as collagen production is rebuilding.

Targeted Areas for Sculptra®

Sculptra® is used for facial wrinkles and folds but it can also assist with hollow areas such as the temples. The Laser Skin & Wellness team will map out points of injection on your face to suit your concerns and improve your skin’s appearance. The total treatment time for Sculptra® is between 40 and 60 minutes to complete.

How Much Sculptra® will I need?

For the best results, most patients receive 2 to 3 treatments spaced over 4-6 month period. One vial per decade of life is typically the recommended protocol. For instance, a 40 year old patient would need a total of 4 vials, split into two treatments of 2 vials each, with 2 months in-between treatments. Then we recommend the Beauty Club for monthly treatments to maintain results and re-evaluation yearly.

Why Sculptra® over Dermal Fillers?

Patients love this treatment because of the beautiful, natural, long-lasting results and there is no downtime associated with the treatment. You can get right back to your day as soon as you leave the office except for heavy gym workouts for a few days. Some redness and swelling might be present for a few hours after Sculptra® injections. The big difference between Sculptra® and dermal fillers is that Sculptra® stimulates your own collagen and dermal fillers “fill” an area instantly and last for 9-12 months.

Microneedling is a versatile skin care treatment, making it a very popular choice for many of our patients. The treatment works by stimulating collagen production through a series of micro-injuries. At-home dermal rollers and other microneedling systems are available, however, these treatments are not as effective or safe as professional microneedling treatments.

At Laser Skin & Wellness, we have different options of RF Microneedling: the Vivace RF and the Morpheus8, which combines radio-frequency energy and microneedles to further stimulate collagen production and kill acne-causing bacteria. This system offers a variety of benefits to our clients.

Microneedling Treatments

Vivace RF and Morpheus8 Microneedling devices, are incredibly versatile treatments, useful for a wide range of skin concerns. They can be used to improve:

  • Skin laxity
  • Stretch marks
  • Wrinkles
  • Acne
  • Enlarged pores

This wide range of uses means that Vivace RF and Morpheus8 Microneedling is suitable for many clients, regardless of their age, skin issues, skin types, or the area of the face or body they wish to treat.

Nonsurgical Option

While some more severe issues, such as significant excess skin or jowls, require surgery, microneedling is a good solution for those who want to improve their appearance and fight signs of aging without surgery.

Easily Customizable Treatments

Unlike other microneedling methods or systems, Vivace RF and Morpheus8 Microneedling is a highly customizable procedure. After examining your skin, a trained specialist will utilize specific settings for the system, such as the needle depth. This makes it a suitable and effective treatment for a wide range of patients.

Short Treatments and Minimal Recovery

Vivace RF and Morpheus8 Microneedling treatment is usually completed through a series of sessions to reach the clients goal result. Each of these sessions typically takes just over an hour, with 45 minutes of actual treatment time.

After treatment, recovery is very minimal. It’s normal to have some redness and tenderness in the treatment area, which most patients describe as similar to a sunburn. There isn’t any downtime associated with recovery, and you can return to normal activities if you choose.
