There are an endless number of skincare products on the market that promise to produce aesthetically appealing and flawless skin. While face creams and over-the-counter skincare products are typically categorized as preventative against aging, there is a plethora of cosmetic procedures that can deliver spectacular skin rejuvenation outcomes without undergoing surgery.
Due to the numerous developments over the past few years, cosmetic treatments are now carried out using a variety of technologies, like laser and light, facials, acids, and biological neuromodulators.
While this is impressive, many people seeking cosmetic improvement are unsure of where to begin due to the overwhelming number of available treatments.
To help you wade through the many options, we’ve listed some of our top treatments. The following beauty trends are some of the most popular cosmetic treatments available that can help you face the future with increased confidence.
Botox and Fillers
If you’re looking for ways to enhance the glow of your skin, reduce signs of aging, and feel happier with your overall appearance, it’s time to look into non-surgical options like Botox and dermal fillers. Botox and fillers are often used together. Combining Botox and dermal fillers is beneficial because they treat different types of wrinkles. Botox relaxes dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by repeated facial movements like squinting and frowning; dermal fillers smooth out static wrinkles, which are visible even when the face is at rest.
Botox is a neuromodulator derived from botulinum toxin and can be injected into the facial muscles to block signals for the muscles to contract. This action relaxes the muscles and prevents expression-causing lines and wrinkles from forming. It is an excellent choice to treat fine lines and wrinkles in these areas:
Forehead
Brows
Around the eyes (crow’s feet)
Around the mouth
Dermal fillers are made of a gel-like substance known as hyaluronic acid which is also naturally found in the body. Hyaluronic acid filler binds to water molecules when injected into the skin, keeping it moisturized, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and adding volume. Dermal fillers restore lost volume and help to sculpt youthful-looking contours and definition.
At Lucere dermatology and laser clinic, we have a team of expert cosmetic injectors that have a combined experience of over 50 years and specialize in state-of-the-art techniques of face sculpting with high-quality fillers and Botox.
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment is for anyone who notices the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles or feels that their skin has become loose and heavier. HIFU is a relatively new and revolutionary cosmetic treatment for skin tightening that is considered non-invasive and painless. It uses ultrasound energy to encourage collagen production, resulting in firmer skin. If you’re looking for a treatment that is quick, painless, and non-invasive, HIFU is an excellent option compared to a surgical face lift.
The advantages of a HIFU treatment are:
Improving the appearance of wrinkles
Tightening sagging skin on the neck
Giving the skin a lifted and smooth appearance
Enhancing jawline definition
Improving blemishes
Lucere’s HIFU Tight + Lift features advanced TMT technology, offering a comfortable treatment experience for our clients with the best results.
Laser Skin Rejuvenation
Do you ever look at the mirror and find yourself gently pulling up the loose skin on your face? Are you tired of those fine lines around your eyes? If yes, then laser skin rejuvenation is the answer to all your problems.
You may have heard the term ‘skin resurfacing’ all the time, but what does it really mean? Skin Resurfacing treatments use advanced laser technology to address many skin concerns, such as irregular skin texture, acne or surgical scars, sun damage, pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles. In this procedure, short pulsed light energy or continuous light beams are used to remove thin layers of skin with minimal heat damage and downtime of up to two weeks. Laser therapies dramatically improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and help with prevention.
Some of the benefits of different laser skin treatments are:
Improves the appearance of pigmentation and sun damage
Minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Renews outer layers of skin for a rejuvenated look
Stimulates skin tissue to produce more collagen & elastin
Increases skin firmness
Minimizes scars caused by acne or surgery
Trying to decide which laser is the best one for your skincare concerns? You will require a board-certified dermatologist to assess your skin and advise you on the correct treatment. You may only require a “lunchtime laser” treatment to diminish discoloration or signs of aging. You may be advised to start a more aggressive series of treatments for more advanced skin issues.
At Lucere dermatology and laser clinic, we offer a variety of lasers that can address your targeted skin concerns in an effective way. Some of the Laser therapies, that we have at Lucere, are:
CO2 Laser Resurfacing
Fraxel Laser Resurfacing
Clear + Brilliant Laser
Pico focus Skin Revitalization
Fotona Smooth+ Lift
Lucere Smooth Eye
HydraFacial
HydraFacial is one of the most popular in-office cosmetic treatments. This facial has become the go-to treatment for celebs, Instagram influencers and even your friends. It targets many common skin concerns without any side effects. It is a medical-grade facial that clears out pores and hydrates the skin in four simple steps:
Cleansing
Exfoliating
Extracting
Hydrating
Serums are infused into the skin with a hydratip peel. These serums have anti-aging and antioxidant properties that target individual skin concerns.
Some of the many benefits of a HydraFacial are:
Removes black and white heads
Improves skin texture, tone and overall appearance
Brightens the skin
Hydrates dry skin
Improves the appearance of blemishes and hyperpigmentation
Safe and suitable for all skin types
Lucere’s Hydrafacial is a non-invasive treatment that uses patented Vortex-Fusion technology. The procedure is safe, effective and painless. There is no downtime after your Hydrafacial treatment, so you can show off your beautiful skin as soon as you step out of our clinic.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) For Face
PRP facial also famously known as Vampire Facial has become so popular that we may finally have found the solution to all our skin problems. This is a 3 step procedure that involves having your blood drawn from your arm and placed into a machine that separates the platelets from the rest of your blood. This part of the blood is then reinjected into your face using a small syringe or microneedling.
While a PRP facial may sound frightening, it has various benefits:
Reduce wrinkles
Plump up skin
Tightens loose skin
Improves complexion
Get rid of deep creases
Diminish acne scares
Lucere’s PRP Facial Rejuvenation treatment in Edmonton is a safe, non-surgical skin rejuvenation method for those who are looking to naturally improve the overall look and feel of their skin. Contact us now to enjoy the amazing benefits of this treatment.
