Fall is coming fast, and along with the crisp temperatures, crunchy leaves underfoot, and kids back in school, there’s time to take care of yourself! Now that the summer sun isn’t quite as bright, you can get treatments to rejuvenate your skin.
Let’s look at your face together. Are you seeing redness or dark spots? I see a series of IPL (intense pulsed light) treatments in your future. IPL comes in a package of 4 or 6 treatments, performed about a month apart. Dark spots can get darker initially and then fade away. Some especially resistant dark spots need to be treated multiple times to get the desired outcome.
Feeling shaggy? Skip the trip to the waxer and toss those old razor blades for good. Laser hair removal works best when the skin is light and the hair is dark. A series of 6-8 treatments may be necessary for full hair reduction. Popular areas to treat are underarms, bikini line, legs, chin, chest and back. No tan? No problem! Laser hair removal wants your legs to be as pale and pasty as possible to work best.
Feeling crepey? Skin texture is one of the first giveaways to your age, because it can’t really be hidden by lotions and makeup. Morpheus 8 is a radio frequency microneedling device that works on two levels- it improves skin discolorations and it addresses skin texture issues. We recommend a package of 3 to get you started and then once yearly after that. Microneedling stimulates collagen and elastin and the radiofrequency stimulates the firming action of the treatment. Morpheus 8 can also be used on areas of laxity on the body, such as legs or abdomen.
Looking for a glow on your face or hands? Let’s talk chemical peels! Forget what you may remember about peels in the past… the peels we carry at Miramont Wellness Center are all gentle and effective, and won’t leave you looking weird while you recover. We carry Glytone Triple Bright peel for face, hands, neck and chest, which sloughs off photodamage and unwanted dark spots. We also carry 2 peels from Image skincare: the Acne Lift peel and the Signature Facelift enzyme peel, which are both easy on the skin. Peels are always best done in a series a month apart for best results.
