The World of Technology: Medical Spa Laser Treatments


With the improvement of laser treatment technology, medical spas now offer a variety of laser treatments to remedy nearly all of your skin’s imperfections. Some treatments are very popular with medical spa visitors and allow them to feel their best at all times. Here are brief descriptions of a few of the most popular treatments:

  • Skin Rejuvenation
A number of different factors can contribute to an imperfect appearance of your skin. Spots caused by aging, sun, or varying pigmentation can be unsightly or just uncomfortable for the individual. Most medical spas have a version of laser skin rejuvenation, which lightens or gets rid of these imperfections of the skin, making the tone smoother and younger looking.
  • Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is a popular laser treatment for many medical spas. The treatment diminishes and, eventually, gets rid of the hair in the area you have chosen for laser hair removal. Ultimately, you are able to shave less or skip shaving altogether, saving you money and time. Especially if the hair is coarse, this treatment may require several visits to the medical spa, but most people find laser hair removal to be well worth the time.
  • Skin Tightening
This procedure can be considered an alternative to Botox, and most medical spas offer this laser treatment. Laser skin tightening diminishes the wrinkles in your skin, ultimately giving you a tighter, smoother, and more youthful look. This treatment can take several medical spa visits and provides gradual results.

If you are interested in any of these procedures or other popular laser treatments, schedule a consultation with Chic Esthetiq Med Spa & Laser Center in Pearland, TX today. Our skilled medical professionals offer today’s most advanced skin rejuvenation procedures. Visit our website to see descriptions of our available treatments.

The Elite MPX Laser For Skin Tightening

 
Individuals who want an alternative to dermal fillers and facelifts for wrinkle removal may have found a solution with the Elite MPX laser. This state-of-the-art skin tightening treatment is completely noninvasive, yet effective at ridding the skin of wrinkles and fine lines. Using only heat, the Elite MPX laser makes wrinkles fade over time. When this concentrated heat penetrates the collagen deep in the skin tissue, it stimulates the tissue into action.
 
Collagen determines the look of toned skin; when collagen breaks down, a person’s complexion is more susceptible to wrinkles. Once rejuvenated, this essential element can cause the skin to become tighter and smoother. Many people see immediate improvement upon the completion of their first Elite MPX session, and collagen production and skin enhancement can continue months after initial treatment.
 
Don’t wait any longer to have the gorgeous complexion you want. Call (713) 909-3088 to learn more about the Elite MPX services at Chic Esthetiq Med Spa in Pearland, TX. We can help you regain a youthful appearance in just one treatment session.

Show Your Skin Some Love This Valentine's Day



 
Is your skin ready for Valentine’s Day? Your skin can definitely benefit from a little love. Skin is our most basic defense against the elements. While we do our best to care for our skin by using sunscreen, drinking water and eating a healthy diet, the everyday elements still take their toll. Show your skin some love with one of these three common procedures for improving your skin.

1.      If the years are beginning to take their toll, Botox may be what you’re looking for. A series of tiny injections into the troubled area paralyzes the muscles, resulting in the smoothing out of the wrinkled skin above.  This is the easiest and fastest way to see improvement.  Give yourself about a week before Valentine's Day for this treatment.

2.      Do your smile lines remain even when you're not smiling? Juvederm is a great procedure for targeting skin that has lost its natural hydration. Unlike Botox, Juvederm is injected just beneath the skin and not into the muscle. We have Juvederm Ultra XC and Juvederm Ultra+ XC (staff favorite!)  This is also THE PRODUCT to use to plump those lips!  Give yourself about 1-2 weeks before Valentine's Day for this treatment, especially if you bruise easily.

3.      Skin rejuvenation is a great option for those with sun spots, spider veins and age spots. Effective for most skin types, skin rejuvenation uses laser technology to target pigmented lesions on the face in order to even out skin tone. Unlike Botox or Juvederm, this is not an injectable with immediately visible results. Results are typically seen in 5 treatments with no downtime after individual treatments.  Your skin may be a little pink, so definitely give yourself at least 2-3 days before Valentine's Day for this treatment.

 Of course every person’s skin is different, so be sure to consult your Licensed Esthetician for the best treatment plan suitable for you. For more information on the skin care options that are right for you, schedule your personalized consultation at Chic Esthetiq Med Spa today.

3 Ways To Look Your Best Every Day

Looking your best shouldn’t be reserved for special occasions.  If you can commit to these three tips on looking your best every day, you’ll eliminate the chaos of getting prepared for big moments like weddings, parties, and high school reunions.

1.     Maintain a Healthy Weight:
We all know this is easier said than done, but the significance of maintaining a health weight cannot be overstated.  Not only does it help your appearance—looking healthy means looking young—but it is also one of the best ways to stay healthy, which as we all know helps us feel great on a day to day basis. We offer a range of weightloss services, such as: medical weightloss, nutritional weightloss, laser body sculpting with Smartlipo Triplex, and more.

2.     Take Care of Your Skin:
Despite our best efforts, signs of aging will begin to show in our skin.  Botox treatments and other cosmetic facial treatments reduce the visibility of age, but routine skin care regimens are important to maintaining smooth, radiant skin.  Starting at a young age is the best way to maintain young, smooth skin, and many people don’t begin a skin care regimen until they are in their 30s or later.  In addition to washing regularly, moisturizing and using proper skincare products ensure that your skin retains moisture. If you’re unsure of what to use, you can always schedule a complementary med spa consultation and have a personalized session with an Esthetician.

3.     Know Your Body Type:
Dressing well is a great way to feel good about yourself, but whether or not you’re clothing is flattering can be difficult to determine.  Learning your body type will help you choose the most flattering clothing for your frame, height, and weight.  Each body type looks best in particular kinds of jeans, swimsuits, and even jackets; knowing your own body will help guide you to the right styles of clothing when you shop.

Here at Robert Kratschmer MD and Chic Esthetiq Med Spa, we offer many services to assist you in looking your best.  We offer Botox treatment, laser hair removal, skin rejuvenation, Smartlipo Triplex, weightloss, and more.
