Are Chemical Peels Safe?
Chemical peels can be dangerous if you do them at home or go to an inexperienced provider. But in the hands of a trained and licensed provider, peels give you a safe and effective way to transform your skin.
5 Anti-Aging Treatments Worth Your Money
With so many anti-aging treatments on the market today, it’s not surprising that a lot of people feel overwhelmed. To keep your skin youthful and radiant, should you choose laser treatment, cosmetic injectables, a surgical procedure, or something else entirely?
Some aesthetics experts recommend them all. And, certainly, stacking treatments can deliver dramatic results. But it can also cost a pretty penny. At Hanami Medspa, Elaine Phuah, DO, MBA, FACOI, and the rest of our team don’t think you should have to choose between breaking the bank and feeling beautiful. We hand-picked five anti-aging treatments that give you the best bang for your buck.
We’re not alone in thinking they’re great, either. Four of the five on this list top the American Society of Plastic Surgeons® (ASPS) cosmetic procedures chart as the most popular minimally invasive procedures in 2018 (the last year for which data are available).
Ready to get your best, most youthful-looking skin? Set up a skincare consultation with Dr. Phuah and discuss any of these options that interest you.
#1: Botox®
Botox tops that ASPS list for a reason. The 7.4 million people who chose Botox in 2018 know this quick, convenient cosmetic injectable delivers near-instant transformation.
Dr. Phuah uses Botox to eliminate dynamic wrinkles, the wrinkles that form on your forehead, between your brows, and around your eyes because of repeated facial expressions. If these wrinkles age your appearance, ask her about Botox today.
#2: Dermal fillers
While Botox addresses dynamic wrinkles, it doesn’t do anything for the facial folds that deepen over time as the skin of your face loses volume. If thinning skin leaves you with deep nasolabial folds, marionette lines, or vertical lip lines, talk to Dr. Phuah about dermal fillers. The treatment process with these cosmetic injectables is just as fast and convenient as Botox, but the results can last even longer.
#3: Chemical peel
Did you know you have younger, less blemished skin waiting just beneath the surface? With a chemical peel, Dr. Phuah has a way to remove the top layer of your skin and reveal that radiant, smooth skin underneath. Chemical peels can reduce the appearance of:
- Age spots
- Uneven skin tone or texture
- Sun damage
- Acne scarring
- Fine lines and wrinkles
Dr. Phuah customizes the depth of your peel to address your skin goals with the downtime that’s right for you.
#4: HydraFacial®
If you want anti-aging results without the downtime of a chemical peel, ask our Hanami Medspa team about a HydraFacial. With this innovative, three-step, 30-minute treatment, we rejuvenate your skin. The steps include:
- Cleanse and peel
- Extract and hydrate
- Fuse and protect
Dr. Phuah can also add specific serums to your HydraFacial to help you with your unique skin goals. You leave your HydraFacial appointment with glowing, nourished skin.
#5: Venus Versa™ treatment
If you’re really looking for dramatic anti-aging results, ask Dr. Phuah about this radiofrequency-based treatment. With the Venus Versa, she can deliver intense pulsed light for a photofacial that clears age spots, sun damage, spider veins, and other imperfections from your skin.
She also uses Venus Versa to tighten your skin, turning back the clock. In fact, this treatment can be applied to any part of your body where sagging skin bothers you.
This multimodality platform is also able to provide skin fractional resurfacing treatments with minimal downtime compared to other CO2 or laser resurfacing treatments. We call this the energy-based microneedling treatment.
Are you ready to put these high-impact anti-aging treatments to work for you? If so, call Hanami Medspa or make an appointment online today. Dr. Phuah and our team are ready to help you look your best.
