How to Get Baby Soft Skin
By Edward Buch and Marla Lynne Bell | Published on November 11, 2011 | 0 Comments
Laser resurfacing and vein removal are extremely popular procedures among women who are concerned about the appearance of their skin. According to Dr. Edward Buch and Marla Lynne Bell at Body Chic, a med spa in Somerset, NJ, laser resurfacing in particular is great for people with acne scarring, sun damage, and superficial wrinkles.
Bell goes on to explain that laser resurfacing is a very simple procedure that takes only 20 minutes in the office. This is a laser-inspired procedure along the skin, which helps reduce wrinkles without resorting to the use of Botox or fillers. At Body Chic med spa in Somerset, NJ, laser resurfacing is a procedure that is done on faces that have been numbed with a topical gel. Although some patients may experience mild discomfort, there is absolutely no pain involved in a laser resurfacing procedure.
As far as downtime is concerned, Bell says that the downtime necessary after undergoing laser resurfacing can vary depending on the severity of the skin damage and how much time the patient spent under the laser. Bell and her staff at the Somerset, NJ med spa can adjust the power of the laser based on the amount of downtime that the patient has to recover before needing to go back to work. If a woman only has two free days before she must return to work, for example, then Bell will typically do an abbreviated version of the laser resurfacing procedure.
After the resurfacing procedure is finished, the medical team at the Somerset, NJ med spa simply asks that the patient apply a special moisturizing gel to her face for a few days. The patient’s face will peel, and Bell emphasizes that this peeling off of skin is completely normal. As the skin peels off, the sun damage, fine lines, and wrinkles will slowly disappear. Although some patients may notice results immediately, the best results of laser resurfacing will be seen over time. Even at four months out, patients are still reporting improved tightening and collagen stimulation in the skin.
Along with their laser resurfacing, many patients at the Body Chic med spa in Somerset, NJ will also request vein removal treatments using Dr. Buch’s specialty laser. Laser vein treatments are growing in popularity, in large part because women are finally discovering that they do not have to live with unsightly varicose veins or spider veins. Dr. Buch can treat veins using multiple modalities, including injection sclerotherapy, local vein removal, and minimally invasive procedures involving lasers or radio-frequency VNUS closure.
