Just as significant , the laser technology we ’ re introducing is truly state-of-the-art by one the industry ’ s leading laser manufacturers . And beyond the technology is the person operating it — Kathy Roccogrande , an outstanding , experienced esthetician that many of you know and have enjoyed non-laser skin care
Kathy Roccogrande services with .
In the article below , Kathy highlights one of the new services we ’ re most excited about : “ True Glow .”
Many of us have similar skin care concerns as we are aging . We begin to notice a change in pigmentation that is due to the sun or environmental damage , fine lines and wrinkles , loss of elasticity in the skin , and the appearance of larger pores . Most men and women over the age of 35 have many or all of these concerns and have tried some product or procedure to improve the appearance of their aging skin . There are tons of products and treatments that try to address our “ aging ” skin care concerns , but many of them include toxic chemicals , harmful ingredients , painful injections , or uncertain surgical outcomes . It seems counterintuitive that you would have to apply or inject something harmful to fix the damage already done by harmful ingredients , toxins , diets , and lifestyles .
I have been an esthetician for almost ten years and spent many of those years as the director of a medical spa in a cosmetic surgery center . I have seen and experienced everything from the most organic to the most medical surgical and everything in between . It has been exciting to see the scientific advances in technologies that have taken place over the last decade , especially with laser procedures . There are many good products and procedures to achieve healthy and vibrant skin , but with so many options out there it can be a daunting task to figure out what is best for you .
I believe that laser treatments are the most effective way to address skin care concerns as we age . Most of us do not want to look the way we did decades ago , but we do want to look like the best version of ourselves . I have found after years of trying many different products and procedures that laser treatments give me the most natural looking youthful glow that I desire . I have always been amazed by the skin ’ s ability to heal and repair . I am a firm believer that nature provides the answer for everything ; it ' s just a matter of finding the “ right ” way to harness it .
“ Healing …. is not a science but the intuitive art of wooing nature .” – W . H . Auden , “ The Art of Healing .”
The premise of phototherapy is that by creating a specifically targeted injury to the skin at a precise location in the dermis or epidermis , you can initiate the skin ’ s own ability to heal and repair . Your skin ' s first line of defense in healing is to produce collagen . What an awesome thing to do for yourself ! Your skin ’ s natural production of collagen starts a rapid decline in your twenties . Any laser treatment , whether it is resurfacing or skin tightening , will stimulate that collagen production again . You even get a little of it with laser hair removal .
Lasers have advanced tremendously in the last decade . I have had the opportunity to work with dozens of lasers over the years , and I have to tell you that Sciton is by far the “ Rolls Royce ” of lasers . There is no other single machine created that has the capability to so effectively target and treat such a wide variety of skin care concerns , especially pigmentation and resurfacing . What better or more organic way to address your skin care concerns ! No toxins , no chemicals , no painful injections , just you and your “ True Glow .”
Our Sciton True Glow treatment addresses many skin care concerns in one session . The laser treatment vaporizes damaged tissue in your epidermis that ' s responsible for pigmentation . This gives your skin its natural , healthy glow back while removing any damaged tissue which may become a problem in the future . The skin is then resurfaced with a profractional treatment . Profractional is like irrigating the skin . We only take away ten percent of the surface area leaving the majority intact to facilitate quicker healing time . We can target the profractional laser deeper into the dermis where you will get a true collagen remodeling . The results of this deeper treatment include reduction of fine lines and wrinkles , smoother texture and tone , decreased pore size , collagen production , and a more youthful glow to your skin . There is little to no downtime . As the skin is healing from the inside out , you won ' t believe the number of compliments you ' ll get on your skin ' s youthful glow . This is by far the Golden Standard in addressing aging concerns with your skin .
