Skin Rejuvenation & Tightening

The Aerolase NEO is a skin rejuvenation and tightening procedure that utilizes advanced laser technology. The Aerolase LightPod Neo offers a uniquely noninvasive skin tightening/rejuvenation treatment to stimulate healthy collagen and restore your skin’s youthful appearance. This process will help firm healthy skin, get rid of any vasculature and brown spots as well as help fill in wrinkles without any patient downtime. Only a beam of laser light touches the skin for the most pleasant treatment available. Typically, several treatments spaced out over a 6-month period are recommended to deliver remarkable results.

Procedure:

The Aerolase NEO skin rejuvenation and tightening procedure uses a laser device to deliver gentle energy pulses to the skin. This stimulates collagen production, improves skin tone and texture, reduces wrinkles, and tightens the skin.

Indications:

The procedure is commonly used to address various skin concerns, such as fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, sun damage, uneven skin tone, acne scars, and general skin laxity.

Contraindications:

Individuals with certain medical conditions, such as active infections, skin disorders, or a history of keloid scarring, may not be suitable candidates for the treatment. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also avoid the procedure.

Side Effects:

Potential side effects include temporary redness, mild swelling, and a sensation similar to a sunburn. These effects typically subside within a few hours to a few days.

What to Expect During Treatment:

During the procedure, you'll be given protective eyewear, and the laser hand piece will be moved over the treatment area. You may feel a warm sensation or a slight tingling, but discomfort is usually minimal.

Pain Control:

The Aerolase NEO procedure is generally well-tolerated and doesn't require significant pain control. However, if you have concerns about discomfort, you can discuss options such as topical anesthetics with your healthcare provider.

Duration of Procedure:

The duration of each session depends on the size of the treatment area. Typically, a session can take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour.

Recovery Time:

There is usually no downtime associated with the procedure. You can resume your regular activities immediately after the treatment. However, it's important to protect your skin from excessive sun exposure and follow post-treatment instructions.

Typical Number of Sessions:

The number of sessions needed varies depending on individual goals and the condition of the skin. Generally, multiple treatment sessions are recommended, typically spaced a few weeks apart.

Expected Treatment Results:

With a series of treatments, you can expect improved skin tone, reduced wrinkles, diminished age spots, and overall skin rejuvenation. Results are gradual and become more noticeable over time as collagen production increases.

Post-Treatment Instructions:

After the procedure, it's important to keep your skin hydrated and protected from the sun. Your healthcare provider may recommend specific skincare products and advise you on how to care for your skin post-treatment.

Typical Cost:

The cost of Aerolase NEO skin rejuvenation and tightening treatments can vary depending on factors such as the size of the treatment area and the number of sessions required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a chemical peel?

A chemical peel is a cosmetic procedure performed by a licensed professional to improve the appearance of the skin on the face, neck, or hands. It involves applying a chemical solution to the skin, which causes the outer layers to exfoliate, revealing smoother, healthier skin underneath.
How does a chemical peel work?

The chemical solution used in a peel causes controlled damage to the skin's outer layers. This stimulates the skin to shed dead cells and prompts the body to produce new collagen and elastin, leading to a rejuvenated and more youthful appearance.
What skin concerns can be addressed with chemical peels?

Chemical peels can help improve various skin concerns, such as fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, uneven skin tone, pigmentation issues, and mild to moderate acne.
Are there different types of chemical peels?

Yes, chemical peels come in various types and strengths, including superficial, medium, and deep peels. The type of peel used depends on the specific skin concerns being addressed and the desired level of exfoliation.
How long does a chemical peel procedure take?

The duration of a chemical peel procedure can vary depending on the type and depth of the peel being performed. Typically, superficial peels take about 30 minutes, while medium to deep peels may take up to an hour or more.
Is a chemical peel painful?

Most patients experience a mild burning or stinging sensation during the procedure, which subsides relatively quickly. Deeper peels may cause more discomfort, but pain management techniques can be used to minimize any discomfort.
How long is the recovery period after a chemical peel?

The recovery time can vary depending on the depth of the peel. Superficial peels may have little to no downtime, with some redness and peeling that usually resolves within a few days. Medium to deep peels may require a week or more of recovery time, during which the skin may be red, swollen, and peeling.
Are there any side effects or risks associated with chemical peels?

Like any cosmetic procedure, chemical peels carry some risks, such as redness, swelling, irritation, and increased sensitivity to the sun. In rare cases, there might be complications like scarring or infection, especially with deeper peels.
How many sessions of chemical peels are needed to see results?

The number of sessions required depends on the individual's skin condition and the type of peel used. Some people may achieve desired results with a single peel, while others might need a series of peels spaced several weeks apart for optimal results.
Can anyone get a chemical peel?

While chemical peels are generally safe for most skin types, not everyone is a suitable candidate. People with certain skin conditions, such as eczema, dermatitis, or recent sunburns, may need to avoid chemical peels. It's essential to consult with a qualified professional to determine if a chemical peel is right for you.
