If your skincare routine alone isn’t giving you the results you want, it might be time to bring in the big guns, or in this case, lasers.
- Dr. Neela Rao at CEENTA Fort Mill and Dr. Jewel Greywoode at CEENTA Uptown are skincare pros. Here’s what they say about this popular, effective skincare treatment.
What kinds of issues can laser skin rejuvenation services solve?
Laser and light services can improve sun spots, fine lines/wrinkles, skin texture and modest skin tightening.
Can lasers help achieve the same results as Botox/injectables?
These treatments work differently and are complementary. Lasers improve skin appearance. Neuromodulators like Botox improve expressive lines around the face and can slightly lift the brows. Fillers and biostimulatory agents like Sculptra improve facial volume.
How long do results last? How long do they take to kick in?
This varies greatly and depends on how consistently the treatments are done, personal genetics and attention to skincare such as sunscreen. Depending on the treatment, early results can be visible at 1 week.
What’s recovery like? Can you wear makeup immediately after?
This also varies greatly based on the treatment. Halo is an excellent laser treatment for facial rejuvenation. Makeup can be worn 2 days after the procedure. Most treatments require approximately 1 week without makeup.
Who is a good candidate and who is not?
It is always a good idea to consult with your service provider for an in-depth consultation before committing to a service. Treatments can be tailored to the patient’s goals, recovery timeline and budget.
How often do you recommend treatments?
As often as suits your timeline and budget! Skin care is never a “one and done” type of treatment. The investment in treatments and skin protection will be apparent with consistency.
Anything else we should know?
The best time to get started is now! It is much easier to protect your skin and bank collagen in your early years rather than try to make up for lost time.
