QWO: The New FDA Approved Cellulite Injection

Posted on
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!

Three Reasons to Have Laser Hair Removal Done in Winter

Posted on
laser hair removal

There is no denying that laser hair removal treatments will help you get rid of unwanted hair on your legs, arms, bikini area, face, chest and back.

While laser hair removal can be done at any time of year, the winter season is the best time to begin.

Here are three benefits to starting laser hair removal in the winter.

  1. If you begin laser hair removal in the winter, by the time the warm weather arrives you will have reached optimum results.
  2. During the winter, there is less chance your skin will be exposed to the sun. When getting laser hair removal, it is not recommended to have treatments done on skin with active sun exposure or sunburn.
  3. After treatment, you need to keep the targeted areas of your body out of sunlight. It is easier to do so in the winter because you will most likely be wearing more clothing.

With each laser hair removal treatment, you should expect to see a 10-20% reduction in hair growth.

Since hair has three main growing stages and laser hair removal is achieved during the first growth stage, at least 6 treatments are recommended to get you the best results.

So, if you begin your treatments in January, you will practically be hair free by June.

It’s important to be consistent in scheduling your appointments every four to eight weeks.

Your diligence and patience will be rewarded by the time you wear that first official spring or summer outfit.

At Healthy Solutions by Dr. Luciano Medspa we help our patients free themselves from having unwanted hair.

Waxing and shaving will be a thing of the past with our laser hair removal treatments.

If you live in or near Bucks County, PA and would like to learn more about the benefits of having laser hair removal done at our Medspa, please call us at schedule a free consultation online.

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.

Juvederm Voluma is now FDA approved for chin enhancement

Posted on
Juvederm Voluma is now FDA approved for chin enhancement

When it comes to improving your profile, there’s good reason to keep your chin up!

JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA™ XC dermal filler is now U.S. FDA approved for chin enhancement.

It is the first and only filler to receive this approval and is offered at Healthy Solutions by Dr. Luciano Medspa in Bucks County, PA.

JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA™ XC was FDA approved in 2013 and was primarily used to correct age-related volume loss in the cheeks and mid face.

Since it’s original approval for the mid face, Juvederm Voluma has been used for other areas of the face such as the chin and jawline but those areas were not FDA approved until recently.

Table of contents:

Juvederm Voluma For Chin Enhancement:

Today, JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA™ XC is no longer considered an “off label” treatment when it comes to chin contouring and shaping the chin for adults over the age of 21.

The newly approved chin enhancement with Voluma can add volume and help contour the lower face without surgery or downtime.

chin augmentation with Juvederm Voluma

Juvederm Voluma for Jawline Contouring & Jowl Improvement:

JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA™ XC is the best non-surgical solution for chin and jawline contouring used to improve the overall look and structure of your face.

By filling in the hollow area around the jowls, JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA™ XC injections soften the appearance of aging skin, strengthens the jawline, and contours the chin.

A jawline or chin filler injectable treatment with Voluma is typically done with a cannula which means less bleeding and bruising, leading to better comfort and a faster recovery.

The injections at Healthy Solutions by Dr. Luciano Medspa are administered by an experienced Physician or Nurse Injector.

The filler injections to the chin and jawline area with Voluma result in a smooth and natural appearance and are known to last for 12 – 24 month.

Voluma for chin enhancement can improve the profile

A chin enhancement with Juvederm Voluma filler adds definition to the lower facial region without the need for getting a chin implant.

It can also reduce the appearance of a double chin and turn back years to the overall look of your face.

In addition, for those with a longer nose, adding volume to the chin can help make the nose appear smaller and improve the balance of the face and profile.

Voluma chin filler

Why is the chin so important when it comes to your overall beauty?

The chin is a critical feature in the construction of a well-balanced face.

It should match the cheeks and rest of the face for a symmetrical appearance.

Whether it’s genetic or part of our aging process, the soft tissue in our jawline breaks down creating what is known as jowls, or sagging skin below your chin.

The loss of collagen in the lower facial region can cause the chin to look hollow and weak often disrupting the framework of our face.

The results are an imbalanced facial structure, a less desirable profile, and the potential for, now you’re not gonna like this one…a double chin.

Sorry folks, no matter how hard you go at the gym there’s no workout to combat gravity.

Thankfully, we have fillers for that!

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.
laser hair removal for darker skin Doylestown, PA

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.
If it’s your first time, it’s best to schedule two or three days before so that your skin has time to relax just in case you have any reactions. hydrafacial in bucks county pa

How long is the peeling process of a VI Chemical Peel?

The skin usually starts to peel anywhere from 2-3 days following a VI Peel and it can last up to a week.
If you have an event, it is best to schedule a few weeks ahead of time.
chemical peel Doylestown, PA

How does an Aesthetician determine what procedures are best for my skin? 

An experienced Aesthetician in a medical spa will ask you a few questions to determine what type of treatment is best.
It’s best to be honest when discussing your skin type and what products you use at home.
Also let your Aesthetician know of any allergies you have and medications you take.
This will help your Aesthetician give you the best customized treatment plan for your skin. 

How to find the right Aesthetician?

When scheduling a skincare appointment, make sure to select a reputable and established Medical Spa. Read their Facebook and Google reviews to see what their clients have said about the facility and the results.

Here are some popular Medspa treatments we recommend that you can give this Mother’s Day:

Hydrafacial:

Hydrafacial Doylestown, PA

This is one of our most in demand treatments that your Mom will love because it involves 3 steps in 30 minutes and leaves you with healthy, smooth, and glowing skin.
HydraFacial uses a unique, patented Vortex-Fusion delivery system to exfoliate, extract and hydrate skin, and, the spiral design delivers painless extractions.

The Hydrafacial is a pleasant treatment that includes a facial, chemical peel, and microdermabrasion all in one.

You can purchase a Hydrafacial at our online store.

Clear + Brilliant or Hydra-Brilliant:

Clear + Brilliant laser bucks county, pa

Clear + Brilliant laser treatment can help prevent the visible signs of aging and address the overall effects that time and the environment can have on your skin.
Any Mom would love to get this treatment as it is non-invasive, and requires little to no-downtime.

This treatment helps with reducing fine lines, improving skin tone, texture, pigment, sun damage, while minimizing pores.

The Clear + Brilliant laser treatment is not too painful and additional comfort is provided with the use of a topical numbing cream.
During this laser treatment, the hand piece gently rolls across the skin and creates microscopic wounds to stimulate collagen production.
We also offer a Hydra-Brilliant treatment which starts off with a Hydrafacial to prep the skin prior to the Clear + Brilliant to give you an even better result.

Botox:

Another great gift option for your Mom this Mother’s Day is Botox, which is an injectable that reduces the appearance of wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes.
Botox treatments involve tiny injections that work by blocking nerve impulses to the injected muscles.
This reduces muscle activity that causes moderate to severe lines to form.
The results are long lasting and very affordable.

Obagi Skincare Products:

Home care is very important in maintaining and improving skin health.
A good skin care regimen will give you much better results than just treatments alone can.

Obagi is a medical grade product line that is all about correcting and preventing skin concerns.

A perfect gift for any Mom is the Tretinoin cream, commonly known as Retin-A.
Everyone age 30 or over can benefit from it, because it increases cell turnover which slows down as we age and causes fine lines and wrinkles to appear over time.

Vitamin C is another key ingredient that’s not only important for ingestion but also topically.
Obagi Vitamin C Serum lightens, brightens, and protects your skin against UV damage.

Another great product is Elastiderm facial serum that will leave you with a more supple, hydrated, refreshed appearance.
It helps to improve skin elasticity, collagen, and fine lines and wrinkles.

We offer consultations via FaceTime or over the phone with one of our medical professionals to help choose which products or treatments are best suited for you.

Coolsculpting:

Coolscultping Bucks County

Mommy makeovers have been becoming more popular over the years, but surgery can be dangerous and very painful to recover from.
Coolsculpting is a non-surgical fat reduction treatment and alternative to liposuction that freezes away fat from the belly, love handles, thighs, bra fat, chest, double chin, and arms.

Skin changes as you age.

You might start noticing changes such as wrinkles, age spots, dryness and loss of fat making it become thinner which in turn makes your skin look less plump and smooth.

Your best line of defense is a good skin care routine.
