Laser and Microneedling In Newark, DE
with Cynosure ICON Laser
The ICON, is an IPL (Intense Pulse Light) laser that can address multiple skin issues with just one device including unwanted hair, wrinkles, age spots, facial veins, dull skin, and more. This multifaceted laser system offers the same wonderful benefits as other non-invasive lasers, but with less discomfort and downtime. ICON houses three different treatment modalities in one to address a wide range of concerns.
What is ICON laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal is perfect for women and men who desire the smooth, sleek look that comes from permanent hair removal. Laser treatments can leave you free from the hassle of everyday maintenance.
For patients who wish to forget about waxing, shaving or any other form of temporary hair removal, the ICON laser offers superior treatments for permanent hair reduction. This laser is also safe for different skin types, making it a great option for a wide range of patients seeking laser hair removal. Thanks to its larger spot size, the ICON is great for treating large areas including the legs, back, chest and arms (when compared with other laser devices).
What is ICON Photo Rejuvenation?
Also known as skin rejuvenation, this is a laser treatment that targets areas of discoloration, like red or brown spots due to sun damage or uneven pigmentation. The laser breaks apart those pigments so your body can process and eliminate them. We recommend multiple treatments to obtain your desired result.
What Is Microneedling?
Also called collagen induction therapy, microneedling uses your skin’s own natural healing processes to stimulate collagen and elastin production and rejuvenate your complexion. At First State Aesthetics we use Rejuvapen NXT which is a state of the art, medical grade, FDA cleared handheld microneedling device. It uses small needles to create microchannels within the skin, causing your skin to respond by ramping up collagen production and cell renewal. Microneedling can help with the following skin concerns:
- Boosts Collagen production
- Improves skin tone and texture
- Smooths fine lines and wrinkles
- Diminishes the appearance of acne scars
- Decreases the size of pores
What is a Rejuvapen® Treatment Like?
A numbing cream will be applied to your skin to make sure you feel little or no discomfort during the treatment. We will then use Tru Vertical Microneedling ‘Touch and Release’ technique to prevent excessive tissue trauma. Treatment takes less than an hour. .The amount of treatments will vary based on the patients age, health of their skin and personal goals. It is recommended for most patients to receive 1-3 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart.
What Results Will I See With Rejuvapen® Microneedling?
Results become visible almost immediately and will continue to improve even after the last of your series of treatments. Collagen continues to develop for weeks to months after each session of microneedling, making your improvements long-lasting. You will see firmer skin, reduced lines and wrinkles, smaller pores and a more even skin tone and texture. You can help your results last longer by using quality skin care products and always wearing sunscreen.
What can I expect after Microneedling?
Directly after your microneedling appointment, you may experience redness, minor skin irritation, or swelling. These side effects typically dissipate within a few days and shouldn’t be severe enough to interfere with your normal daily activities. However, your microneedling provider will send you home with detailed aftercare instructions, such as not applying makeup or other skincare products for the first 24 hours and avoiding sun exposure while your skin heals.
What Is Microneedling with PRP?
Microneedling with PRP uses the same microneedling technology as discussed above, but adds PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, to the treatment for quicker and more enhanced results. PRP is derived from your own blood using a centrifuge, which spins the sample at high speeds, causing it to separate into distinct layers. The PRP is then extracted, sterilized, and applied to the skin during your microneedling treatment. PRP is known to contain growth factors to accelerate wound healing, making it an excellent addition to microneedling treatments.
