What is a Lip Flip?

A lip flip is a treatment that enhances the lips with Botox injections to create a fuller appearance. 

How Much is a Lip Flip?

Lip flips use very little amount of Botox (between 4-8 units) and is a more affordable treatment when comparing it to lip filler. At Healthy Solutions Medspa, the lip flip can range from $55-$110.

How Long Does it Last?

Just like Botox on the face, Botox on the lips (lip flips) lasts around three to five months.

Does a lip flip hurt?

Patients have found lip flips to be almost pain-free. There is a small sting when being injected into the lip, however the pain is very well tolerable. The actual treatment time is 5 -10 minutes.

If you want fuller lips, consider Lip Filler

Patients find a lot of times they want additional volume in the lips after receiving a lip flip. We recommend thinking about adding lip filler to your lips along with the lip flip to add volume.

Post-Care

After having a lip flip, patients should avoid working out for 24 hours, due to the injection holes needing to be clean. Bruising may occur, so icing the area may relieve some of the bruising and swelling. Avoid sleeping face down.

Am I a Good Candidate for a lip flip?

If you have a thin upper lip, show a lot of your gums when you smile, or want a small change to your lips, this would be a great procedure for you.

BBL vs. IPL Photofacial

bbl vs ipl photofacial

What is the difference between a BBL and an IPL photofacial?

We will explain and compare both the BBL and the IPL photofacial treatments in this light therapy 101 guide.

What is a BBL photofacial treatment?

Broad Band Light, developed by Sciton technology, is a non-ablative treatment that can be done on the face and body. 

BBL is innovative technology that sets new standards for the treatment of skin conditions associated with aging, active lifestyles, and sun damage. Broadband Light energy can be used to treat age spots, small facial veins (telangiectasias), rosacea, solar lentigines (freckles), brown spots, poikiloderma, skin laxity, acne and remove hair. 

It treats the dermal layer of the skin, but doesn’t remove any of the top layering or the epidermis. This treatment utilizes pulses of light energy to heat the surface of the skin while creating a healing process for improved elastin and collagen production. 

Which skin conditions can a BBL treat?

BBL is commonly used to treat:

  • Acne
  • Pigmentation
  • Birthmarks
  • Rosacea
  • Skin tone / texture
  • Freckles
  • Broken capillaries
  • Age spots
  • Bruising
  • Sagging skin
  • Also slows down the aging process

What is an IPL photo facial?

An IPL stands for Intense pulsed light. An IPL treatment uses light energy to target and remove damaged skin cells or unwanted hair follicles.

Which skin condition can an IPL treat?

IPL is commonly used to treat:

  • Sun spots
  • Scarring
  • Dilated blood vessels
  • Enlarged pores
  • Varicose vein
  • Unwanted hair

So, what’s the big difference between and IPL and a BBL photofacial treatment?

First, let’s talk about similarities. Both treatments are nonsurgical, which is awesome. They both involve directing light energy into the skin to correct imperfections. 

IPL has been around longer and BBL is the newest technology.

The BBL by Sciton is the latest and greatest when it comes to photofacial treatments and uses two lights vs the IPL uses one.

What areas can you treat with IPL and BBL?

You can use IPL and BBL on any part of the body, however, they work best on UV ray damaged parts, like the face, chest, shoulders, neck, etc.

What is the downtime of IPL and BBL?

With both treatments, there is minimal downtime and minimal discomfort after treatment. 

What is the average treatment price for an IPL or a BBL Photofacial?

The average cost for an IPL or BBL can range between $300-$500 depending on where you live and what area of the body you are treating. 

To learn more about BBL or IPL photofacials that we offer at our premier Medspa in Bucks County, call us at (267) 332-5567.

Why You Should Start Laser Hair Removal in the Fall

Healthy Solutions Medspa

As the summer is coming to an end, the fall is the perfect time to consider starting laser hair removal treatment. Whether it be for your underarms, legs, face, or any other part of the body, the fall is the best time to do laser hair removal treatment.

Why is fall the best time?

Having laser hair removal requires multiple visits to get the hair to stop growing. Although you will notice less and less grow back, the result is not instantaneous. At Healthy Solutions Medspa, we recommend 6 treatments, no matter the part of the body. If you do 6 treatments, 6-8 weeks apart, when summer comes along, you are smooth and hair free. Toss the razor!

Summer weather and laser hair are not good for each other. Our providers ask if you are tan, do not schedule your laser hair, and wait until the fall. Winter/fall clothing is also way easier to hide body hair compared to our summer bathing suits and tank tops, which makes it easier to hide between sessions.

How does laser hair removal work?

Laser hair removal is done to get rid of unwanted hair, and to avoid shaving or waxing so often. The laser is meant to damage the hair follicle to make it stop growing so often. The laser itself releases light absorbed by melanin in our hair on the body. This is what damages the follicles that produce hair.

How to prepare for your laser hair removal treatment

Our providers ask to reschedule your appointment if you are tan or burnt from the sun. Before your treatment, shave the day before or the day of treatment to remove hair above the skin.

How does laser hair removal Feel?

Many patients have described the treatment like they got snapped by a rubber band, and does cause a little discomfort. However, the treatment is very fast! For example, laser hair removal for the under arms only takes 5 minutes. 

Pricing and Packages

At Healthy Solutions Medspa, we have a few options for our laser hair removal treatments. We do laser hair on cheeks, ears, areola, arms, back, inner thighs, bikini, chest, chin, upper lip, legs, happy trail, side burns, face, and neck. Price ranges from $109-$360, and we offer packages of 6 for an additional 10% off the normal treatment price.

To learn more about laser hair removal or would like to schedule your laser hair removal appointment, call us at (267) 332-5567.

If you are looking for laser hair removal near me and you live in or around Bucks County, PA and would like a treatment, contact us at Healthy Solutions Medspa online.

Have you heard of the liquid facelift?

Liquid facelift bucks county

You may know someone who had a facelift, but have you heard about something called the liquid facelift? It’s a term used for a certain non-surgical treatment that can provide the benefits of a facelift without incisions, anesthesia or any downtime. Let’s cover the basics so you know why the liquid facelift has become a popular treatment for so many people. 

What is a Liquid Facelift?

A liquid facelift is a non-surgical procedure that uses dermal fillers for facial rejuvenation. These dermal fillers reduce the appearance of wrinkles and folds, leaving you looking years younger in the process. Generally Botox injections and dermal filler injections such as Juvederm or Restyalne are used for liquid facelifts.

What can you expect with a Liquid Facelift?

During a liquid facelift, dermal fillers and Botox are used to add volume, lift, contour the midface.

These dermal fillers are then used to sculpt and refine the jawline, chin, add volume to lips and reduce wrinkles from the forehead with Botox. 

The liquid facelift is highly customizable and four syringes or more of dermal fillers may be needed depending on the areas of your face you want to focus on.

It’s  best to get a consultation at a reputable medspa with a certified medical injector who will create a liquid face lift plan for you. 

The results of a liquid facelift can last anywhere between a year or two, depending on the dermal fillers used.

To see if you are a candidate for a liquid facelift, it’s best to start with a consultation.

If you are looking into doing a liquid facelift or searching for a provider that does lip injections, jawline contouring, or would like to reduce wrinkles from your forehead with Botox and you live in or around the Bucks County, PA area, request your free consultation at Healthy Solutions Medspa online, or give us a call at (267) 332-5567.

Everything You Need To Know About Eye Filler

Healthy Solutions Medspa

Tired of looking tired? Others feel the same, and far more than you’d think! If you dislike your under eye bags, under eye filler may provide a solution.

Why Get An Under Eye Filler Treatment?

“Dark circles” under your eyes, or “under-eye bags” are both umbrella terms that can describe a wide variety of under eye issues. 

If you are self-conscious or struggle with the appearance of the skin under your eyes, you typically are not speaking generally about something that “bothers you a little”. Under eye dark circles can be blindly apparent. 

With the stigma that comes with dark circles, not doing anything about them can really do some damage to your everyday confidence. 

The stigma that has, and sadly will always, walk hand in hand with under eye bags, is exhaustion. 

No matter how much information we are aware of, we will still find ourselves assuming the woman across the room with dark circles didn’t catch enough sleep the evening before. 

Even though we are aware the causes of dark circles have nothing to do with our energy, without the best concealer makeup, we find ourselves being asked if we are sick, tired, or working too hard.

Basically, when it comes to under-eye bags, there is no limit to how much time and money we will spend exploring products, treatments and types of makeup to address the issue. It is exhausting work to not look exhausted. 

Thanks for the irony of Mother Nature… always a jokester. 

What Is An Under Eye Filler Treatment?

An under eye filler treatment is when hyaluronic acid is injected into targeted areas under the skin beneath the eye or tear trough in order to minimize hollows, dark circles, and to correct age related volume loss. 

Is Under Eye Filler Treatment Safe?

The use of dermal fillers for tear troughs have been done “off label” by many practitioners over the years, but recently, JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC was FDA approved for the improvement of infraorbital hollows.

With an under eye filler treatment with Juvederm Volbella for under eye bags, you won’t need to hide behind concealer any longer.. 

How Long Does Under Eye Filler Last?

You can expect the results to last for up to one year with Juvederm Volbella for the under eyes.

What Areas Can Be Injected With Under Eye Filler?

Tear troughs – Filler may be used to smooth out the curved line under your eyes that starts at the inside corner of the eye and runs down toward the cheek.

Under eye bags – Filler may be used to erase or soften any other fine lines and wrinkles underneath the eyes. The skin underneath the eye is very thin and prone to wrinkles.

How Much Is Under Eye Filler?

The treatment price can vary depending on how much under eye filler you will need which is established during your consultation, but typically can range between $800 – $1600. 

Where Can I Get Under Eye Filler?

It’s important to find a reputable medical office or medical spa that offers FDA approved dermal fillers like Juvederm Volbella and that have a great reputation.

Always do your research about the practice on Google and read their reviews. And, if you live in Bucks County, PA and looking for a provider that specializes in under eye filler, contact us at (267) 332-5567 or fill out a form online here.

Why the Hydrafacial is great to do in the Winter

Best Hydrafacial in Bucks County

The Hydrafacial is quickly becoming one of the most sought after skin treatments available. With immediate effects and no downtime, it became obvious that this elite but affordable treatment was going to be a patient favorite. When is the perfect time to give this treatment a try? Right now, in the winter! Why? We are here to tell you!

THE IMPORTANCE OF HYDRATION

We all know that staying hydrated is important to our overall health, because our bodies are made up of 70% water! What is the human body’s biggest organ? Believe it or not, it is the skin!  Therefore, the skin stands to gain the most from hydration. That means, we not only need to drink enough water, but that external steps such as getting treatments like the Hydrafacial are also necessary in keeping our skin hydrated.

 

WHAT HAPPENS TO DEHYDRATED SKIN?

The outermost layer of the skin is responsible for flushing toxins and carrying nutrients to skin cells. Without the proper amount of moisture to do so, dead cells remain on the skin to clog pores and create uneven texture, and healthy cells become thinner, resulting in low elasticity and more wrinkles. Dehydrated skin can not only be visually unappealing, but it can have fairly uncomfortable and sometimes painful effects. Not taking the extra steps to treat our skin to some well deserved moisture can lead to cracked and even bleeding skin.

 

COLD WEATHER AND DRY SKIN

Chillier temperatures combined with lower humidity levels is a recipe for dry air, which can draw moisture directly from your skin. Even with avoiding the cold, harsh, winter winds outside, your skin is subjected to the dry elements of winter with indoor heat. Not only that, but our pores will contract in cold temperatures to preserve warmth, limiting the ability for oxygen to reach skin cells and help them regenerate.

 

BUT DOESN’T DRY SKIN MEAN LESS BREAKOUTS?

This is probably the biggest and most commonly believed myths regarding the skin. People often mistake drier skin, to less oily skin. However, when skin becomes dry, it actually reacts by over producing natural oils to compensate for the lack of moisture. These oils sit on the skin and form blemishes. Without excess moisture to form new and healthy skin cells, dead cells will camp out on the face and clog pores. Excess dead skin paired with excess oils can result in a full on break out! 

 

MASKNE IN THE WINTER

Unfortunately, many of us are all too familiar with the term “Maskne”. Acne caused while wearing a face mask, aka “Maskne”, happens when our pores become clogged as a result of friction from certain materials, alongside heat and humidity under our masks. Exfoliation is key in preventing breakouts, but the ingredients found in at-home exfoliants, such as acids and retinol, have the ability to dry skin out. With our skin already susceptible to being parched and flaky in the winter, this is hardly ideal.

 

WHY THE HYDRAFACIAL IS THE SOLUTION

 

The common factor in all winter skin problems is a lack of hydration. Facials have obvious benefits for all skin types throughout the entirety of the year which includes the removal of dead skin cells, the cleansing of clogged pores and the relaxation of facial muscles. The Hydrafacial, however, uses a tool that makes extracting dead skin and ‘gunk’ non-invasive, and that manually infuses your skins special serum, which is customized based on your skins specific needs.  This means, that your skin becomes more hydrated than it would with a regular facial, and during a time when it needs it the most. That means you can schedule your treatment regardless of any holiday commitments! 

 

If you are looking to have an amazing Hydrafacial done in the Bucks County and surrounding area, request your free consultation at Healthy Solutions Medspa online or by contacting our office at (267) 332-5567.

The New Coolsculpting Elite at Healthy Solutions Medspa

New Coolsculpting device bucks county

Coolsculpting Elite is the newest Cooslculpting Device

You may have heard of Coolsculpting, but now there is Coolsculpting Elite with even better fat-freezing technology and it is now offered at Healthy Solutions Medspa in Bucks County. 

Coolsculpting Elite is the latest and greatest in body contouring.

What makes Coolsculpting Elite better than the original Coolsculpting device is that it can freeze away fat in half the time.

For those who want to reduce any stubborn fat in areas that are resistant to exercise and a healthy, consistent diet, Coolsculpting is a way to successfully target those areas and shrink fat cells.

Healthy Solutions Medspa

What makes Coolsculpting Elite different than the original Coolsculpting device?

The Coolsculpting Elite system is a new, re-designed treatment option that can treat the abdomen, bra line, love handles, double chin, inner and outer thighs, arms and distal thigh/knee areas.

With faster and better results, Coolsculpting Elite targets two treatment areas at the same time.

Previous Coolsculpting machines had only one applicator, allowing only one area to be treated at a time.

The new Coolscultping Elite machines now have two applicators – with two of these machines now available in our office, we can “dualsculpt”, “trisculpt” and “quadsculpt” in one session to treat two, three or four areas at a time.

More machines and more applicators means more results in even less time. 

The new and redesigned Coolsculpting Elite applicator has more surface area for even more fat reduction.

The applicators are up to 18% bigger than the previous applicators.

Healthy Solutions Medspa

In addition to a change in the overall shape of the device.

The new C-shaped applicators complement the body’s natural curves for improved fit and comfort during initial tissue draw and features up to an 18% larger cooling area as compared to the previous generation CoolSculpting applicators.

The new applicators successfully cover 97% of the tissue inside the cup, as compared to the old version’s 67%.

This larger contact area means more tissue can be cooled to freeze the fat cells more evenly and consistently, resulting in more significant reduction in less time. More coverage equals better and faster results!

The Coolsculpting Elite treatment at Healthy Solutions by Dr. Luciano Medspa

We have been Coolsculpting for over six years now, and it is important to our office that we offer the best and fastest options for our patients.

Our office is one of the top Coolsculpting providers in Pennsylvania and the #1 Coolsculpting provider in Bucks County and the surrounding area.

QWO: The New FDA Approved Cellulite Injection

QWO cellulite injections bucks county, pa

Did you know that nine out of 10 adult women suffer from cellulite?

Having cellulite is one of the most frustrating things about being a woman, and there has never been anything we could do about it – until now. 

There is finally a cellulite injection treatment available for women that has been shown to treat and reduce the appearance and severity of cellulite. 

First off, what is cellulite?

It is commonly thought that cellulite is solely caused by fat, and that losing weight is essentially the only solution to reducing its appearance. However, this is not the case. As women age, the skin gets thinner, fat cells get larger, and the fibrous bands that are underneath the skin’s surface get thicker and cause tension — all of which cause that dimpled appearance in certain areas of the body, especially on the butt. 

Women are more likely to have cellulite than men, and it affects those of all shapes, sizes, ages, races and ethnicities. Women are more prone to developing cellulite because they have thinner skin than men, more fatty deposits in the thigh and buttock areas, as well as different orientation of the collagen and fibrous bands. Essentially, women’s bodies are more prone to having the ability of fat lobules to bulge through the areas of the body that have more fatty deposits, most commonly the thigh and buttock areas. 

Introducing the first-ever cellulite injection treatment called QWO

my lobster | phoebe x joey [completed] - Chapter 16: The one with the hair  - Wattpad

For the first time, we are ready to say hello to QWO and goodbye to dimples and cellulite.

Pronounced like “whoa” (insert Joey Tribbiani reference here), QWO is the first treatment of its kind, specifically for adult women. 

QWO is the first and only FDA-approved cellulite injectable for the treatment of moderate to severe cellulite in women’s buttocks. 

How does QWO work?

QWO is made from enzymes called collagenases. These enzymes are thought to treat dimpled areas by targeting the bands and other structural causes under the skin where the cellulite starts. Essentially, the injection is thought to break down fibrous bands and old collagen particles, redistribute fat cells, and stimulate the growth of new collagen. This results in a smoother surface to the skin, with the possibility of eliminating dimples in the treatment area.

How many QWO treatments will you need?

QWO is a non-surgical cellulite injection administered in a doctor’s office. Patients should have three treatment visits with 21 days in between each QWO cellulite injection treatment. 

How much time is needed for a QWO treatment?

This minimally-invasive procedure is appealing as it is, but to make it even better, the lunch break procedure only takes about 10 minutes or less, and there is no downtime — so no need to take off of work, and in just 2 months you will have improved and smoothed out your cellulite.

Is there downtime with QWO?

Bruising is to be expected and possible redness at the injection site, but nothing is unbearable following the treatment, and you can return to your day as normal.

Women have been eager for a cellulite treatment for a while now, and QWO is an exciting new treatment.

It looks like we can finally stop wasting money on topicals, scrubs and other products that claim to reduce cellulite (when they do nothing in reality).

Just in time for wearing a bathing suit on the beach this summer, we are ready to say “whoa” to QWO!

if you are searching for the QWO cellulite injections in Bucks County, request your free consultation at Healthy Solutions Medspa online or by contacting our office at (267) 388-4692.
