What's the Fuss with Microneedling?

Microneedling is one of the latest buzzwords that is taking the beauty and aesthetics world by storm. Basically, microneedling is a procedure that using a dermaroller with small needles to prick the skin. The purpose of treatment is to generate new collagen and skin tissue for smoother, firmer, more toned skin. Time has shown that microneedling can be a quite effective method of rejuvenating the skin, dealing with acne, scarring, and helping skincare products better penetrate the epidermis.

Just do a quick Google search and you will find all kinds of dermarollers with different lengths of needles (from about 0.2 mm to 1 mm) in lots of price ranges. If this is something that you are interested in, it becomes even more confusing when you realize there are not only at-home treatments, but professional aesthetic microneedling skin treatments as well! What's your best option?

Going with a professional might cost more upfront, but they have the ability to individualize the treatment, and some aesthetic practices offer microneedling combined with radio frequency energy, which increases the efficacy of the skin treatment.

The combination of radio frequency energy and microneedling is a cutting-edge technology that has been clinically proven to reduce the signs of aging and regenerate the skin, including sensitive skin such as hands and décolleté. During treatment fine micro-pins use radio-frequency to penetrate the skin's dermal layer. The micro-pins then stimulate the body to naturally produce hyaluronic acid, new collagen and elastin. The result is significant with long-term dermal volumizing, wrinkle reduction and skin resurfacing. Unlike other fractional laser treatments, the post-treatment epidermal response is very mild and doesn't affect the patient's lifestyle and is effective on all skin types.

Downtime for RF Microneedling is minimal, enabling patients to resume normal activity immediately. Discomfort is minimized via key safety and technology innovation, and s ide effects are kept to a minimum (light bruising, micro-needling exploiting). These reasons are pretty persuasive when considering whether going to a professional aesthetic practice or just trying at-home skin treatment.

Deciding Between CoolSculpting and Cryo T Shock?

You've been eating right, exercising, but you still have that stubborn fat hanging around your stomach area. Or maybe you have a double chin that just will not go away! There are some cryotherapy methods out there that have been proven to reduce the amount of fat and cellulite in your body. There is CoolSculpting ® and Cryo T-Shock, but which one is right for you? Which one is better? The CoolSculpting ® procedure is FDA-cleared for the treatment of visible fat bulges under the chin and under the jawline, thigh, abdomen and flank, along with bra fat, back fat, underneath the buttocks and upper arm.

How Often Should I Get a Chemical Peel?

They are often used as acne treatment and can target age spots, improving blemishes, fine lines, and wrinkles.

However. doing so too much can backfire and create more skin issues, such as: -redness -discoloration -hyperpigmentation -irreversible spots -bacterial infections Ironically, if you use chemical peels too often, you may risk bringing on the issue you want to treat.

Although this is generally a con, you can typically use these superficial-level products more often without adverse reacti...
