You Know Those Nasty Vertical Lines on Your Décolletage Area?

9/10/2016

I have three of them - the trifecta of being a side sleeping pillow hugger. And the older I get, the deeper they get. How rude. BUT, I'm not taking this lying down. No pun intended. I hated the deep wrinkles showing in any kind of tank top, dress, bathing suit - anything where this area showed. It completely did not match my face, which has been well taken care of by the talented medical staff at Vitality Skin & Body medical spa in Scottsdale.

The staff there recommended micro-needling on this area to have my body produce collagen to repair the wrinkles. I trust the staff there, so I decided to give it a whirl. I can tell you that I am in shock. Seriously. After one treatment the depth of the lines is substantially minimized. I can still see them but it is not nearly as deep or obvious as before. They tell me that I need to continue the micro-needling to see best results, and I will. I am also going to have my neck done, as I am not happy with the wrinkling that is happening there. According to the Vitality Skin & Body medical staff, the micro-needling procedure is one of the most effective and cost-effective skin treatments out there, because the micro-needling stimulates your body to produce its own collagen, repairing the skin for a lasting impact.

Micro-needling can dramatically improve the appearance of your skin in just a few treatment sessions (in some cases only a single treatment session).

What Do the Wall Street Journal, Dr. Oz & ABC News Have in Common? Micro-Needling. What???

7/27/2016

It's true. A quick Google search of micro-needling yields positive reports on the benefits of micro-needling. So - what's the REAL story with skin needling? Does it really work? The answer is yes. There is solid medical science behind the procedure. And plastic surgeons almost unanimously agree that this minimally invasive skin rejuvenating procedure triggers your own body to create new collagen and elastin, resulting in improvement in skin texture, firmness, scar, stretch mark, and pore size reduction.

How does it work? At Vitality Skin & Body medical spa, we use the DermaPen. It contains fine needles that create tiny punctures to cause a controlled skin injury. Each puncture causes the body to react by filling these microscopic wounds with new collagen and elastin.

It is a brilliant skin treatment because it causes your own body to fight aging - a very natural solution to diminishing lines, wrinkles, dark spots, and acne scars. And while it is typically used on the face, neck, and décolleté, it can be used anywhere - arms, legs, thighs, etc.

For best results, a series of treatments are recommended. The skin care professionals at Vitality Skin & Body medical spa in Scottsdale, AZ will discuss your personal skin care needs and goals, and recommend the customized skin care program that is best for you.

There are numerous other skin treatments available, including a variety of laser therapies, wonderful facials, and facial fillers. Take advantage of the complimentary consultation with your beauty expert and medical professional at Vitality Skin & Body, conveniently located just off the 101 and Shea Blvd. in Scottsdale.

Don't Let the Desert Dryness Damage Your Skin

7/3/2016

It's July in the Valley of the Sun. The sun is continuing to bake anything within reach of its' rays. Thirty minutes outside in the sun can make your skin look like a tomato. And when you are sunburned, all of the moisture is sapped out of your skin. Plus, did you know that damage from the sun is cumulative, and may not be visible for years?

Yet most Arizonans love to sun bathe, to float in the pool, to hang out at the lake. We are drawn to water to help us survive the summer. So, what are practical ways to still enjoy summer but not make sure skin take on a lizard like quality?

Stay hydrated - at least 8 ounces of WATER. Caffeine and alcohol both have dehydrating effects.
Wear sunscreen - at least 50 SPF and apply once per hour if you are in and out of the pool.
Stay out of the sun when the rays are fiercest - 10am - 2pm.
Use a good moisturizer - avoid moisturizers with paraffin and petroleum jelly. Use one with smaller molecules that your skin can absorb, not just a coating on the top of your skin. We have several good moisturizers we can recommend.
Use this rule of thumb when applying sunscreens, lotions, and topical serums - apply the clearest one first. Example - topical vitamin C, and then work your way out from there. Sunscreen should be last. We also have several sunscreens we can recommend as they are not all created equal. And keep in mind that expiration dates on sunscreen really do matter.

If you are like many Arizonans who have grown up in the sun, you have skin damage in the form of sun spots and prematurely aging skin. Don't despair - modern science has so many wonderful solutions for sun damaged skin. At Vitality Skin & Body medical spa we offer the following for solutions:

Micro-needling with Dermapen® - Dermapen® is a fractional micro-needling device that works to tighten, lift and rejuvenate the skin. It's effective in reducing fine lines and wrinkles, stretch marks, surgical and acne scars.
Laser Titan® Skin Tightening - Perfect choice to tighten up the skin around your neck, chin or chest area and even to tighten the skin around the delicate under arm area.
Photo-Rejuvenation IPL - Treats Pigmentation - Sun Spots - Sun Damage for a smoother and more refined skin tone.

Micro-needling Really Works!

6/4/2016

1 Comment

I have had Botox, I use Juvederm, and Photorejuvenation IPL. And actually, my face looks pretty good. The medical staff at Vitality Skin & Body Medical Spa in Scottsdale really know what they are doing. They listen to my goals and make professional recommendations to help me reach my beauty goals. I've had all of the above treatments have been at Vitality Skin & Body.

I have also had micro-needling, but am realizing that it is really key in my beauty regimen to have ongoing treatments. The reason is that the very tiny needles puncture the dermis to stimulate production of my own collagen. It is also called collagen induction therapy. It causes the skin to thicken, which reduces wrinkles, acne scars, and even stretch marks. It is FDA approved and I like it better because it is a natural solution where your skin is actually improving, which is different than simply causing the problems to not be visible.

I have my face, neck and chest area treated. I have long vertical wrinkles on my chest area from sleeping on my side. I can tell you that those crease lines are improved already! Plus, the treatment is also working on my sun spots. I'm told by the medical staff at Vitality Skin & Body that it takes an average of 90 days for your body's collagen production, but I can see results just two weeks later.

My plan is to have a micro-needling treatment every month, continuing to stimulate my body's own collagen production. A topical numbing cream is used, and the treatment is not painful. Also, the micro-needling process creates tiny channels into the skin's dermis that high potency vitamin A and C are applied to and quickly absorbed.

There is no downtime, I was wearing make up the very next day. I think this is a very cost effective natural treatment that will keep my skin continuously renewing itself. I will be scheduling my next appointment at Vitality Skin & Body medical spa in Scottsdale shortly, and I hope you will do the same. So call 480.203.3918 to schedule your appointment, or CLICK HERE to request one.

I Found a Way to Get Rid of Tiny Crepe Like Wrinkles

5/21/2016

0 Comments

It's been a while, so here is a beauty update. Several months ago I started noticing what I describe as "orange peel" skin texture on my face, particularly around my mouth and lower cheek area. No longer smooth, with tiny crepe like wrinkles. Ugghhh - how in the world do you fix that?? Well, I talked to the knowledgeable medical professionals at Vitality Skin & Body medical spa in Scottsdale to find out if there were any solutions. They recommended micro needling, the process of making microscopic needle injections into to the skin to stimulate my collagen to repair itself. It made really good sense to me, and I really prefer treatments that are natural, causing my body to do the work of repair.

Since then I have had three micro needling treatments, and I can honestly tell you that my skin tightened up and the "orange peel" skin disappeared! I also had my décolleté area treated, because I hate the long vertical lines that have appeared as a result of sleeping on my side for years. Unbelievable! Yet I believe because the results are really remarkable.

And the treatment has even helped my dark spots on my forehead. Based on my experiences so far, I believe micro needling is a very effective procedure that is cost effective as well. It is relatively inexpensive and as I mentioned before, it's your body repairing itself, which is different from injectables that you need to have repeated continuously. I am so pleased with the results from micro needling that I am scheduling another round on other areas of concern. I'll keep you posted on the results, but am confident that I am receiving the best medical care possible for my skin because of the level of professionalism and training with the staff at Vitality Skin & Body medical spa in Scottsdale. Their anti-aging skin care treatments have made a remarkable difference in my appearance, and I am really grateful.

The medical professionals at Vitality Skin & Body medical spa in Scottsdale, Arizona offer a complimentary consultation so that you can discuss your skin care goals and determine which course of treatment is most effective for you. Trusting your skin care needs to medical professionals is a much better strategy than choosing who works on your face based on a coupon or sale. The professional medical staff at Vitality Skin & Body really take the time to listen and will map out your beauty journey with you. Be sure to give them a call at 480-203-3918 or CLICK HERE to send an e-mail.
