At Laser Skin & Wellness Med Spa, we’ve introduced clients from all over Palm Beach Gardens, West Palm Beach, Lake Worth and Boynton Beach to the exciting results of Sculptra® Aesthetic.

Collagen Loss – The Non-Secret Trigger of Skin Aging
The primary reason for the noticeable aging of the face is collagen deficiency. Collagen is the fibrous protein that provides the skin its structure and support.

Unfortunately, loss of collagen is one of the first steps in the aging process, beginning in the early 20s. There are multiple factors that can play a part in the depletion of collagen, from genetics and natural aging to sun exposure, pollution, and smoking.

Sculptra® Aesthetic is a FDA-approved injectable designed to correct facial folds and wrinkles slowly replacing the collagen your skin has lost.

Why Choose Sculptra Aesthetic Over Other Products?
Unlike other wrinkle and line treatments, Sculptra® Aesthetic works with your body to restore collagen for a more natural, youthful-looking result that can last up to 2 years once the regimen has been completed.

Collagen creams claim to deliver collagen that is absorbed by the skin, but collagen molecules are too big to be absorbed through the skin. To compensate, most creams contain vitamins and other ingredients that make them excellent moisturizers but only provide temporary results and no actual collagen replacement.

Dietary supplements designed to replace collagen are for the most part ineffective as the protein makeup of collagen is broken down during digestion.

Fillers like hyaluronic acid diminish the look of lines by pushing up the skin from beneath the treated area. These other injection type treatments may provide more immediate visual results but usually only last a few months, requiring you to undergo treatment more often.

Sculptra® Aesthetic results appear more gradually over the treatment regimen than these fillers but the results last much longer.

How Does Sculptra Aesthetic Work?
Slow and steady, like the tortoise, not the hare.

Sculptra Aesthetic is made with a synthetic biocompatible and biodegradable material named poly-L-lactic acid. When introduced to the body, this key ingredient is slowly and naturally absorbed to reproduce lost collagen and rebuild collagen levels.As each treatment progresses, collagen stimulators diminish facial lines by aiding in the restoration of the deepest structures of the skin.

The process involves the injection of the treatment into the deep dermis area. This is where strands of collagen work to support your skin’s natural structure. A typical treatment regimen can include 3 injections over the course of 3 to 4 months, but the number of appointments and the number of injections at each varies per patient, depending on how much collagen has been lost.The cost of Sculptra® Aesthetic will be determined by the needs of the patient.

If you’ve been searching for a more natural approach to treating the signs of aging you’ve developed, let our specialists at Laser Skin & Wellness Med Spas in the Palm Beach Gardens, West Palm Beach, Lake Worth and Boynton Beach areas provide you with the means to reverse the signs of aging.

In Palm Beach Gardens, West Palm Beach, Lake Worth and Boynton Beach, Titan skin tightening treatments are one of these exciting advancements.

The Titan laser helps patients achieve tighter and healthier looking skin. As we age, sagging and loose skin is one of the biggest skin complaints. Even if a patient doesn’t have sizable lines or wrinkles, they may still suffer from sagging skin. Unfortunately, this particular condition is not treatable with the usual wrinkle treatments.

If your primary issue is the sagginess of your skin, the Titan laser is an ideal solution. Titan laser treatments work by targeting the collagen production below the top layer of skin, stimulating it to induce more production. This allows the skin to become firmer and tighter from the inside out.

Unlike other treatments, the Titan laser lets the body naturally repair itself. Additionally, unlike those treatments, the Titan laser will continue to show improved results after the others have worn off and have to be done again, and again.

Titan Skin Tightening

This cutting-edge laser is the most promising treatment for patients who are wanting skin tightening. Where before excessive skin had to be surgically removed for lifted results, the Titan skin tightening laser uses infrared light.

It works by penetrating deep into the epidermal layers to the location where collagen is developed. The special infrared light targets skin cells below the surface to rejuvenate them and encourage re-growth. This allows the skin to repair naturally for a few months and last for a few years.

Since its non-evasive, patients can enjoy extensive skin tightening without the use of anesthesia, extensive recovery times, or the development of scars. Most patients who receive a Titan skin tightening treatment will go back to their daily routines immediately following the session. This convenient option is especially appealing for busy moms or professionals who can’t afford to take a lot of downtime for recovery.

Treats the Inevitable

Even with the best dietary habits and skin care routines, eventually, you will have to deal with sagging skin.

Titan skin tightening treatments are the least-invasive way to target loose, sagging skin that can be used over the entire body and the face. This adaptability allows it to work on stretch marks, sagging skin, post-partum tummy areas, and underarm flab. If you’ve lost weight, given birth, or have just reached that age where everything has started to wilt, Titan skin tightening is a great option.

The cost of a Titan Skin Tightening treatment varies by patient. At Laser Skin & Wellness Med Spas in the Palm Beach Gardens, West Palm Beach, Lake Worth and Boynton Beach areas we will be happy to discuss with you what your treatment requirements might be and work with you to make sure your goals are fulfilled.

We’ve all heard of Botox® and many of us even know someone who has had treatments. However, while you may realize what it is, you might wonder why millions of people have taken advantage of it. Here are a few of those reasons why men and women get Botox® over the years, and how you can start enjoying it as well.

#1: To get ready for a big life event Beautiful girl lying down

There are many events in our lives that we want to look our absolute best. Weddings, vacations, job interviews, presentations, and the list goes on! Because Botox® smooths out wrinkles and fine lines, it’s a very popular choice for people who want to be confident with their look and leave a positive impression on old and new friends, colleagues, and family members.

#2: To give themselves a gift

Botox® is an excellent way to pamper yourself and it’s one of those things that you don’t think to ask others for. In some cases, men and women will want to be discrete about the treatments, and by giving it to yourself as a gift, you can enjoy your privacy and the youthful look of your skin. And don’t forget if you have people who ask what kind of gift you want for birthdays or holidays, let them know that a gift card to your favorite spa would be a great idea.

#3: To help relieve headaches and migraines

If you think that Botox® is just a way to get rid of unwanted lines around your eyes, mouth, and forehead – think again! It’s also used to alleviate painful migraines and headaches and is FDA approved. The fact that you’ll still get all of the other benefits is just a perk when you need it for medical reasons.

#4: To remove one or two deep wrinkles

Even if you’re in your twenties, you may find that you have one or two deep lines that you dwell on all the time. The professionals at Laser Skin & Wellness will listen to your goals when it comes to getting treatments and target those trouble spots that have been bothering you. These can often appear on the forehead and around the mouth, and makeup and lotions just won’t cut it when you want smooth skin.

#5: To see what all the fuss is about

Many of us have friends who have had Botox® and this can make us curious, especially when we noticed the improvement in their appearance but had no idea that it was more than just a magical night cream. If you aren’t sure if it’s right for you but want to test it out, then talk to a professional and start with a small area of the skin that has been bothering you to see if you like the results.

If you want to learn more about why so many people have fallen in love with the benefits of Botox®, the contact the experts at Laser Skin & Wellness at 561-641-9490 or swing by our locations at Lake Worth and Palm Beach Gardens. We have a free consultation just for you!
