The last ten years have seen technological advances in medical aesthetics that have allowed the industry to grow and offered a wide variety of non-invasive treatments to a wider range of patients. This rapid advancement has made energy-based treatments much more accessible in medical aesthetics. Non-surgical treatments offer a much easier way to start exploring medical aesthetic treatments.
This article will discuss the different conditions they treat and what you should consider before starting Energy Based Facial Treatments.
What Aesthetic Concerns Can Energy-Based Treatments Address?
Depending on the technology employed, these aesthetic conditions can be successfully treated with energy-based aesthetics.
Lines – Static And Fine Wrinkles: Static are those visible at all times. Fine lines are small creases. Both can be treated with RF-based wrinkle treatment. These treatments increase the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin fibers which are two key building blocks to healthy, youthful skin.
Pigmentation Or Vascular Conditions: Skin discoloration such as spider veins, vascular signs (visible blood vessels that are often caused by cumulative sun exposure), vascular marks (visible skin lesions often caused by cumulative sun exposure), vascular spots (visible blood vessels), vascular marks, and other discolorations can be treated using IPL-based photo facial therapies. These treatments target melanin, and hemoglobin, and promote healing to achieve a more even complexion.
Unwanted Body, Facial Hair: Both IPL and diode laser hair removal treatments target melanin below the skin’s surface. Their light energy is converted into thermal energy and causes the hair to fall out.
Scars: These scars may be caused by acne or skin injury. While some can heal themselves naturally over time, others can need treatment with a custom RF-based skin resurfacing program. Venus Viva(TM), and Venus versa(TM), are two types of skin resurfacing treatments that use tiny pins to deliver heat through the skin’s surface using NanoFractional RF. This causes tiny micro-dermal scarring that stimulates the skin’s natural repair process. It also heals these wounds and repairs any skin damage.
Cellulite Treatment: The majority of women who experience cellulite will do so at some point during their life. It can often be caused by hormonal changes, genetics, lifestyle, or other factors. Nonsurgical cellulite treatments use advanced RF technology which targets fat cells to shrink them. It improves the appearance of cellulite’s typical bumps. Most treatments are comfortable and can be customized to target any stage of cellulite with no downtime.
Body Slimming: Many people still struggle with loose skin and poor shape despite having a fitness and diet plan. Body slimming methods work to tighten the skin and reduce the circumference. You will notice a slimmer figure and a more defined shape.
Fat Treatments: For those who are looking to get rid of stubborn areas of fat, treatments using diode-laser technology might be worth your consideration. The diode laser technology can target and break down stubborn fat cells, particularly around the abdomen. You can enhance your results by adding complementary treatments to tighten, smooth cellulite, and reduce circumference*. The result will be slimmer and more contoured.
A Few Things To Consider When Considering Energy-Based Aesthetics
You may want to consider some common points before you book your initial consultation for energy-based aesthetic treatment.
Treatments Are Not Surgical: A significant advantage of energy-based treatments is their non-surgical nature. This means that there is little to no downtime. The treatment may require you to be away from makeup and saunas for 24 hours. However, you can still go about your daily routine.
Multiple Treatments Are Required: Although some energy-based therapies may yield good results in one session, many sessions are recommended to get the best results. Your provider will advise how many sessions will be necessary to achieve your individual aesthetic goals.
To Achieve Optimal Outcomes, Treatments Require Commitment: While treatment times may vary depending upon your plan, it’s important to adhere to the recommended treatment schedule of your provider to ensure a successful outcome. It is essential to schedule Laser Hair Removal treatments at least three to four weeks apart to effectively treat all hair follicles. The anagen phase is the most important for hair growth. Treatments are only able to target and destroy hair follicles during this stage. A missed treatment may mean that you need to wait or receive additional treatments to catch them during the next growth phase.
You Are A Part Of The Treatment Results: Your provider will give you advice on pre- and after-treatment care. This will make a difference in your treatment outcome. Your ability to follow your provider’s instructions and use high-quality skincare products will make it easier to get optimal results. You can also sustain them well beyond the last session.
