Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is without a doubt one of the most popular methods to remove body hair on men. Sure, you could shave or wax your body hair, but laser hair removal is the only way for men to achieve permanent results. It’s a great gift for the men who have hair all over their bodies and takes minimal effort!

“Brotox” (Botox for Men)

Botox is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures for both men and women, and the amount of men receiving it has only been going upward year after year!

Many people (for some reason) think that Botox is only for women, but this is far from the truth. Men are loving their results from their Botox treatments, and we love to see our patients come in with lines and leave feeling confident.

At Healthy Solutions Medspa, we like to call Botox for men “Brotox”. Makes it a bit more manly…

“Brotox” is used for men to reduce or eliminate the lines on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes, which is perfect for men with facial lines. What an awesome gift for the man in your life!

Hydrafacial

Men and skin care don’t always mix. Women seem to take care of their skin a bit more than men. Treat the man in your life with a Hydrafacial!

Hydrafacial is a facial treatment that cleanses the skin, exfoliates, extracts, hydrates, and protects the skin all in one session. It’s great for any man with oily skin or acne to cleanse and get the pores opened up.

CoolSculpting

Whether you’re almost at the point of reaching your body goals or just want to feel more comfortable in your own skin, CoolSculpting is a perfect option for those feeling a bit stuck with their body.

CoolSculpting is a quick, non-invasive treatment, so that means no surgery, no needles, no downtime. Its a quick process!

The science behind CoolSculpting is “Cryolipolysis”, which freezes fat cells, targets them without damaging skin or tissue around it.

Know a man in your life with stubborn fat? Book them an appointment at Healthy Solutions Medspa to come in for a CoolSculpting consultation!

Treating Melasma with the Clear + Brilliant Laser

Posted on

clear and brilliant treatment

Looking for a solution to treat melasma? 

Look no further than our Clear + Brilliant Laser Treatment. This treatment requires almost no downtime and is not painful.

Being a non-invasive laser, it requires no surgery or injections, while providing noticeable results.

What is Melasma? 

Melasma is a hyperpigmentation skin disorder that is difficult to treat. It can look like your skin is uneven, with discoloration and dark spots. Certain things can irritate or trigger melasma, like hormones and the sun. 

Melasma can be considered chronic, in which case treatment would be the way to handle it rather than letting it work its way out on its own. This is when we would recommend the Clear + Brilliant Treatment to our patients. 

Who gets Melasma?

According to research at the Cleveland Clinic, women are much more likely to get melasma than men, but it is possible in everyone. If you have darker brown skin or tend to tan well, you are more likely to get melasma than those who have fair skin. Pregnant women are the most likely to get melasma due to hormones, although the relation between hormones and melasma is unknown! 

How can Melasma be treated?

Melasma can be treated with the Clear + Brilliant Laser’s 1927-nm diode laser, which helps with hyperpigmentation, sun spots, anti-aging, freckles, and more. Along with in office treatments like the Clear and Brilliant laser, it is also recommended to treat melasma with topical skin lighteners like hydroquinone to maintain post-treatment results.

What is the Clear + Brilliant Laser Treatment?

The Clear + Brilliant Laser Treatment is a popular laser used to improve melasma, skin tone, fine lines and wrinkles, texture, sun damage, and reduce pore size. It’s commonly used to treat the face, neck, and chest. This treatment duration is about 30-45 minutes long. 

What does Clear + Brilliant feel like?

The provider will apply numbing cream before treatment to ensure the treatment is comfortable. Patients have described that after receiving the Clear + Brilliant laser treatment, their face felt warm, almost like a sunburn but that feeling went away within the hour. 

What is the downtime after the Clear and Brilliant treatment?

Clear + Brilliant only requires about 2-3 hours of downtime, which is really great compared to most lasers which require multiple days. Following treatment, you may experience some pink/red tones to the skin, however this only will last a few hours. The next week or so after treatment, your skin will feel like sandpaper, but it is not visible, just noticeable to the touch. 

How many sessions should be completed?

Clinical studies have shown best results after at least 4 treatments of Clear + Brilliant to treat melasma, one month apart from each other. Once completing treatment, your skin will feel softer and skin tone will improve, giving you a nice glow! At Healthy Solutions Medspa, we offer single treatments as well as packages of Clear + Brilliant treatments.

When will I see results?

Results will be noticeable about a week or two after treatment is completed, and can last months depending on your factors like the products you use for your skin post treatment and protection from the sun.

What is the price of Clear + Brilliant?

At Healthy Solutions Medspa, Clear + Brilliant starts at $399, depending on which level of treatment you receive, in which the provider can speak to you about to decide which is best for you. We also offer packages of 3 and 6 Clear + Brilliant treatments which are discounted. 

Who is a candidate for Clear + Brilliant?

Clear + Brilliant is safe for all skin types and can be used to treat melasma on the forehead, cheeks, chin, and nose. 

Is the Clear + Brilliant laser safe on darker skin?

The Clear and Brilliant laser is FDA approved and is safe for darker skin because of it’s low energy and low density.

According to a white paper on “The Safety and Efficacy of Treatment with a 1927-nm Diode Laser With and Without Topical Hydroquinone for Facial Hyperpigmentation and Melasma in Darker Skin Type” by Wilson, Jones, Bolton, Larsen, and Guillen, “no worsening of hyperpigmentation or melasma was observed” for patients with darker skin being treated with the Clear and Brilliant laser 1927-nm hand piece.

Another white paper on “Treatment of Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation in Patients with Darker Skin Types Using a Low Energy 1927 nm Non-Ablative Fractional Laser” concluded that Clear and Brilliant “1927 nm wavelength laser is a safe and effective modality for improving post inflammatory hyperpigmentation in patients with darker skin types.”

Why the Hydrafacial is great to do in the Winter

Posted on
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.

3 Medspa Treatments to Clear up Bacne/Back Acne Scars

Posted on
Healthy Solutions Medspa

“Bacne” and back acne scarring are among the many new sought after treatments in the skin care field.

Whether you experience active acne or acne scarring on the back, or both, there are solutions out there that have worked wonders with clearing up the skin and improve hyperpigmentation.

The most effective treatments today include the VI Peel, Hydrafacial and Microneedling.

VI Peel For Bacne

The VI Peel is a gentle but powerful medical grade chemical peel that can be be customized with boosters to treat many different skin care concerns from hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, texture, wrinkles, acne, and bacne.

This aesthetic procedure can be performed on the face, neck, chest and back.

It’s extremely effective in treating “bacne” and back acne scars.

The VI peel works by creating micro-damage to the skin’s top layer, causing peeling which in turns stimulates new tissue growth, shedding off old unhealthy skin and bringing out new healthy skin.

Because of the thicker skin on the back, peeling starts around day 7 and can last 4-7 days.

Due to the longer peeling duration, back peels should be done every 6-8 weeks and a series of 2-6 treatments are recommended for optimal results.

Healthy Solutions Medspa

Microneedling For Back Acne

Microneedling is a great treatment option for back acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, stretch marks, minimizing pore size and fine lines and wrinkles.

It involves pricking the skin with tiny sterilized needles to stimulate an immune response from the body to produce new collagen and elastin to heal the injured areas leaving the skin rejuvenated and corrected of inconsistencies.

Healing time takes about 5-7 days with minimal down time and a series of 3 is recommended for optimal results.

Minor side effects should be expected after this treatment, such as redness, bruising or inflammation, but usually clear up in a few days

Hydrafacial For The Back

The Clarifying Hydrafacial is another treatment option for “Bacne” and can be done in conjunction with either the VI Peel or Microneedling.

This treatment uses a combination of glycolic acid, salicylic acid and Blue LED light therapy to target bacteria, decongest the skin and control oil production.

First, the back is deeply cleansed, softening the sebum to aid in extractions and remove any impurities.

With a vortex tip, the skin is exfoliated with a gentle glycolic and salicylic acid peel.

Afterwards comes extractions, followed by hydrating the skin with hyaluronic acid, detoxifying antioxidants, and firming peptides for deep moisturization and hydration.

The HydraFacial treatment for the back leaves skin looking healthy and hydrated.

Monthly treatments are recommended for optimal results.

Acne and acne scarring on the face and the body can be extremely frustrating and leave you feeling self-conscious.

With the help of a physician and medical aesthetician, they can customize a treatment plan to get your back acne under control and help you start feeling your best.

To find out if you are a viable candidate for any of these treatments, it’s best to start with a consultation.

If you are searching for the best acne, bacne, or acne scarring treatments near me 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.

Dermaplaning Your Face: What You Should Know

Posted on
dermaplaning near me

Dermaplaning the face has taken flight in popularity, and with reason.

This quick and painless procedure exfoliates the face, instantly leaving the skin smooth and soft for a glowy finish and flawless makeup application.

If your face is looking dull, it could be from the top layer of the skin’s exposure to UV rays, environmental toxins and other irritants that clog the pores and create dead skin cell buildup.

Dermaplaning removes this top layer of skin to reveal smooth and glowing skin.

What is Dermaplaning?

The dermaplaning procedure is an exfoliation method using a scalpel to essentially remove dead skin cells, peach fuzz and unwanted hair from the face.

This technique is safely performed with a special scalpel that is specifically designed for dermaplaning.

After the skin is prepped, the technician will gently scrape the skin to remove dead skin cells and any impurities, without any abrasion or downtime.

Dermaplaning is a great way to prepare for an important social event, photo shoot, or television appearance because makeup goes on smoother without having that extra vellus hair.

It can be done on it’s own, or added to other facial treatments such as before a chemical peel or a Hydrafacial.

Healthy Solutions Medspa

If you aren’t convinced yet, here are the answers to some questions you may have about the dermaplaning procedure:

Freqently Asked Dermaplaning Questions:

Which area can I get dermaplaning done?

Dermaplaning is performed on the face, under the chin and sides of the neck. It is not recommended for the eyelids, chest or anywhere other than the face.

How often should I get the treatment?

You can expect for the results of dermaplaning to last anywhere between two weeks to a month. Results will depend on each client’s individual hair growth cycle.

Will dermaplaning cause more hair to grow?

As some patients may worry that facial hair will grow back thicker, darker or faster, this is not true.
The soft, fine hairs that grow on the face (AKA vellus hairs) do not grow back the same as the type of hair on our head, underarms, legs and pubic areas (AKA Terminal hairs).
Any type of hair removal process will not alter the type or growth process of the vellus hairs on our face. 

Will dermaplaning remove my tan?

Dermaplaning does not remove a natural tan, but will remove a spray tan.
With any method of exfoliation, direct sun or tanning should be avoided after treatment. The procedure will not be performed on burned skin.

Which is better dermaplaning or microdermabrasion?

While microdermabrasion created similar results to dermaplaning, the procedure uses a rougher surface to smooth out the skin. Microdermabrasion creates abrasion, pressure and suction during the treatment and may leave your skin with slight redness and/or irritation. Unlike dermaplaning, the process does not remove the vellus hairs from the face, and you may need several appointments to get your desired results. With dermaplaning, the results are immediate and do not leave you with redness or irritation. Both procedures leave your face with a smooth canvas, but dermaplaning could be less harsh for your skin when compared to microdermabrasion.

Which is better dermaplaning or waxing?

Waxing is a popular, tried and true method of hair removal, but can be painful and unpredictable at times. It can sometimes cause over-exfoliation, irritation, and redness if not done correctly. Unlike dermaplaning, waxing will remove the hair first, and then exfoliate second. Also, waxing is best for dark/coarse hair removal for a longer period of time, while dermaplaning can be done on all skin types. Dermaplaning offers an instant glow, smoother skin, allows for better makeup application and better product penetration.

How much does dermaplaning cost?

Dermaplaning costs on average $100 on its own for one treatment, or can be added to another facial treatment for around $50.

If you are looking for a painless exfoliation method to get super smooth, radiant skin, dermaplaning is a great, safe and quick way to achieve your desired results.

Top Questions Asked of an Aesthetician in a Medical Spa

Posted on

We recently asked our Aesthetician Erica what common questions she gets asked the most about skincare at our Medical Spa in Bucks County.

But before we get into those questions… 

What is an Aesthetician?

An Aesthetician is someone that works in a medical setting and is overseen by a Medical Doctor, that can help improve your skin. They can help you select medical grade skincare products, chemical peels, and laser treatments that would benefit you the most.

aesthetician bucks county, pa

Why is everyone confused about skincare?

Reading beauty magazines and scrolling down your Instagram feed, we are all inundated with so many treatments and products for our skin that it can be overwhelming.

Like many of us, you probably have more than a few cleansers that you have tried over the years, masks that you have applied at home, and over the counter eye creams and moisturizers that you dabbled with.

Have they worked? Maybe? Did they cause you to break out or dry your skin? Were they the right products for your skin?

confused about skincare products

Those that are looking to see quicker results in the improvement of their skin turn to an Aesthetician at a Medical Spa.

What are the common questions asked of an Aesthetician at a Medical Spa?

In what order should I apply my skin care products?

You should always start by removing makeup, cleanse, tone, serum/treatment, eye cream, moisturizer, sunscreen.
It is important to apply products in the correct order to get the best results. 
Which order you should put on skincare products

Can I use drugstore products on my skin?

Drugstore products are not recommended by skin care professionals because they contain tons of fillers, irritants, and low quality ingredients.
They only add minuscule amounts of the “good” ingredients so they can claim to be effective on the packaging.
Medical grade products contain more beneficial ingredients and are highly concentrated so you need less of it.
Whereas, drugstore products are so watered down they won’t last you nearly as long. 

Where can I purchase medical grade products? 

You should always purchase medical grade products from a medical spa or doctor’s office to make sure you’re getting legitimate products.
There are a lot of fake products sold online that are cheaper because they are most likely expired or have different ingredients than the original.
Also, you risk having a reaction or break out due to not knowing the actual ingredients that are in it.
You should always consult with an Aesthetician or Doctor first to choose what medical grade products will be most beneficial for your skin type and concerns. 
Obagi Nu Derm Bucks County, PA

Why is sunscreen so important? 

Wearing sunscreen every day can protect you from exposure to UV radiation that can burn the skin and cause skin cancer.
Always make sure your sunscreen has an SPF of at least 30 and reapply every 2 hours.
According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, up to 80 percent of the sun’s UV rays can pass through clouds so it’s important to wear it even on cloudy days. 
Another benefit of wearing sunscreen is that it slows down premature aging of the skin.
It also helps maintain an even skin tone by preventing discoloration and dark spots due to sun damage. 

At what age should I start using a retinoid? 

Everyone over the age of 30 should be using a retinoid like Tretinoin cream.
It will speed up cell turnover which slows down as we age and causes fine lines and wrinkles to appear.
Tretinoin cream is also great for treating acne, so it is recommended for patients with acneic skin as well as mature or “aging” skin. tretinoin obagi retinoid bucks county, pa

Will Dermaplaning cause my hair to grow back darker and more course?

Dermaplaning is a safe procedure for exfoliating the epidermis and ridding the skin of fine vellus hair.
Many patients are concerned that the hair will grow back darker and courser after dermaplaning.
However this is not the case.
Vellus hair, also known as peach fuzz, will grow back at the same rate and texture due to its superficial nature and lack of complexity within the follicle.Dermaplaning-in-Bucks County

What can I do to improve dark spots?

There are many different options to treat hyperpigmentation so it’s always best to consult with your Aesthetician to create a customized treatment plan.
A few great options are Clear + Brilliant laser, VI Peel, Vitamin C serum, and Hydroquinone cream.
Clear and Brilliant Laser Bucks County

What can I do for blotchy, red skin?

A Photofacial or IPL, also known as Intense Pulsed Light treats skin pigmentation. A Photofacial can treat those pesky broken capillaries that many people get around their nose. 

Is laser hair removal painful? 

Everyone tolerates pain differently, but for most people laser hair removal is tolerable and hurts less than waxing.
It also depends on the area of the body being lasered, because some areas are more sensitive to pain than others.
It’s often compared to the feeling of a rubber band snapping.
A numbing cream may be applied upon request or you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever before the treatment. painless laser hair removal Doylestown, PA

If I am a darker complexion does that mean I can’t get laser hair removal?

Although there are certain lasers that can only be done on lighter skin types, there are also some that are safe on all skin tones.
The laser we use at Healthy Solutions Medspa can be done on all skin types and even has a melanin reader that helps choose what setting to use for ultimate results in a safe manner.

Is it bad to pop pimples on my own? 

If you squeeze an inflamed pimple that’s not ready to be extracted, you can actually damage your skin further and can make the breakout worse by spreading bacteria.
To avoid long-lasting marks and scars, you should always see an Aesthetician at a medical spa.
There’s a proper way to extract blackheads, and a Hydrafacial treatment is one of the most gentle and effective options.skincare Doylestown, PA

How far ahead should I schedule a Hydrafacial before an event? 

You can schedule a Hydrafacial as late as the day-of the event if you’ve had it before.
