Rejuvenating Skin Treatments to Reduce the Effects of Sun Damage

Posted on May 16, 2013 by admin

With the arrival of summer and the start of long-awaited vacations bringing skincare and sun protection into focus, May is National Skin Cancer Awareness Month. The message of Skin Cancer Awareness Month is designed to increase public understanding of sun damage prevention as well as skin cancer screening and treatment. AYA Medical Spa always reminds patients to use sunscreen, limit their time in direct sunlight, and cover sun-exposed skin with clothing and hats. Unprotected sun exposure causes pre-mature aging skin conditions such as wrinkles and sun spots. Since spending some time in the sun is inevitable and the damage is cumulative, AYA also wants to share skin rejuvenation treatments that can address sun damage and even skin tone. Wear sunscreen

To address the signs of photo damage and aging on the face, chemical peels and microdermabrasion are two treatments to safely exfoliate skin and encourage collagen production. Chemical peels use various chemical solutions to remove damaged outer layers of skin and reveal healthy skin underneath. We offer over five different chemical peels at AYA, including customized peels to treat specific skin types and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne, and sun spots. Microdermabrasion is another facial rejuvenation treatment that uses a diamond encrusted tip or aluminum oxide crystals to massage and exfoliate the skin’s surface. Microdermabrasion can also be used on the chest and hands to minimize wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and sun spots.

In addition to chemical peels and microdermabrasion, our latest Sciton® laser technology is a skin resurfacing system that delivers light energy to revitalize skin on the neck, face, chest, and hands. With two different laser options, the Broadband Light™ and Erbium laser can treat a wide range of skin types and conditions. Sciton® can be customized based on the strength of laser and number of treatments. For example, a patient can choose a series of lighter peels for gradual improvement and minimal downtime or one strong peel for comprehensive rejuvenation.

While these anti-aging treatments can reduce the effects of sun damage, sunscreen and other skincare products are essential to preventing wrinkles and skin cancer. For the month of May, AYA is offering 15% off all of their sunscreens in honor of Skin Cancer Awareness Month until May 31^st, 2013. If you are interested in a treatment to address sun damage or other skin conditions, contact us today to schedule a skin analysis.

Special Occasions Call for Skin at Its Best

Posted on April 26, 2013 by admin

Springtime is not only known for its bright, vibrant weather, but also for the multitude of special occasions that typically occur. Special occasions like proms and graduations typically fall around spring, and summertime is a popular wedding season. With big events marked on everyone’s calendars, AYA Medical Spa wants to help you look your best for any occasion. Whether you’re graduating, celebrating Mother’s Day, attending a wedding or planning your own, our licensed medical providers offer an extensive menu of facial rejuvenation treatments to treat any skin condition ranging from acne or wrinkles to unwanted hair.

To treat uneven complexions, our chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and customizable facials can safely exfoliate to reveal healthy, clear skin. Chemical peels apply customized chemical solutions to remove dead skin and regenerate new skin cells. Microdermabrasion can treat other areas in addition to the face such as the neck, chest, and hands. These procedures treat skin conditions like wrinkles, acne, hyperpigmentation, and sun spots. If you are facing a particular skin condition, our licensed estheticians have over 10 years of experience and can recommend a facial to fit your specific skin type. Additionally, our facials are therapeutic and allow our patients to relax as their skin is treated.

Since the temperatures have finally warmed up, many patients are concerned about unwanted body hair. Laser hair removal is a great treatment for both men and women who want to remove unwanted hair from the face and body. However, multiple treatments spaced four to six weeks apart are required for optimal results so it is important to schedule sessions in advance. In addition to hair removal, we also offer brow artistry, eyelash extensions, and FDA-approved Latisse® eyelash treatments to enhance the eyes.

If it’s unwanted fat you’re worried about, non-invasive CoolSculpting® fat reduction is a non-surgical alternative option to body contouring. This technology externally applies cold temperatures to freeze unwanted fat so the body can safely and naturally expel the fat. CoolSculpting® does not require any anesthesia, incisions, or even downtime. Patients can return to their normal activity directly after treatment and as the body gradually eliminates the fat, patients see results within a few weeks.

All of our treatments are minimally invasive, but some may require additional downtime to allow skin to improve so it is important to schedule a skin consultation with one of our licensed medical providers to determine a proper treatment option for you. Connect with us on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and Pinterest for the latest skincare updates and news.

Is a Chemical Peel Right for My Skin?

Posted on April 24, 2013 by admin

Facial With the upcoming spring graduation and wedding season, AYA Medical Spa wants to help patients look rejuvenated before their big event. For patients with skin conditions ranging from wrinkles and fine lines to acne or sun damage, we offer a wide variety of chemical peels to help address any skin condition. While the name of this treatment may sound intimidating, chemical peels are actually one of the least invasive ways to improve your skin’s tone and texture. There are many types and strengths of peel, which is why our licensed providers often hear the common question: “which one is right for me?”

Chemical peels improve skin conditions including acne, sun spots, freckles, hyperpigmentation, scars, wrinkles and fine lines by encouraging collagen production and exfoliating dead skin cells. During a skincare consultation, our estheticians will determine which chemical peel will best fit your needs and skin type. Some peels may require additional treatments to maximize results. A few days following treatment, skin will appear vibrant and rejuvenated and will continue to improve as cells regenerate.

Using different types of safe chemical solutions such as phenolic acid, glycolic acid, or trichloroatic acid, chemical peels can be customized to suit any patient’s needs. AYA has been performing chemical peels for over 10 years and our experienced medical estheticians will determine the proper treatment for your needs. For patients with rosacea or redness-prone skin, the Quelage peel treats skin conditions without affecting delicate blood vessels. Our Luminage Peel is also known as the Melanage™ minipeel and effectively improves the skin’s overall texture and tone. We also offer the Melanage™ peel, Revitalize peel, Vi™ peel, and customized peels to our patients for other comprehensive skin issues.

If you’re interested in a chemical peel or any other facial rejuvenation treatment, schedule a skin analysis with one of our licensed providers. Connect with us on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and Pinterest for the latest specials and events as well as skincare news.
