Fraxel Laser Skin Resurfacing: Put Your Best Face Forward

Most people are familiar with lasers for hair removal, but did you know that lasers can also reduce acne scars, remove wrinkles, tighten skin, reduce pigment irregularities and more?

As we inch toward summer most people are thinking about their mid-section, their legs and their tan. However, imperfections on your face can leave you just as embarrassed and uncomfortable as a bulging waste line. That’s why the Fountain of Youth Med Spa in Victoria, TX uses the Fraxel laser to treat these facial imperfections.

So how does the laser work? The Fraxel laser targets deep into the second layer of skin, known as the dermis, in order to stimulate new collagen growth. This collagen helps to firm up your face. This new skin formation helps overpower older, flawed skin, including wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars and pigment discoloration.

The Fraxel laser treatment is quick and easy, and there is very little downtime.  Recovery time will vary from patient-to-patient, as some people will be able to return to their normal day-to-day activities, while others may rest for a couple days.

After your treatment your skin will be red and sensitive to the touch, so remember to not use any skin care products that will irritate your face. Also, it’s important to wear sunscreen when going outside after your treatment.

For maximum results we recommend three to six treatments, with at least two week intervals between treatments. You should expect to results within two to three months after the treatments, as this is about the amount of time it takes the dermis to develop new skin.

Isn’t it about time you looked your best? Don’t hide behind make up or cover up your skin’s imperfections, treat and eliminate these facial problems with the Fraxel laser at the Fountain of Youth Med Spa.

The Fountain of Youth is located in Texas gulf coast city Victoria, but serves patients throughout South Texas, including Corpus Christi, San Antonio, Austin, Port Lavaca, El Campo and Sugarland.

Treat Acne and Rosacea Easily and Effectively

Let’s face it, when your skin doesn’t look its best you don’t feel your best. You may have struggled with various skin cleansers and toners with little to no results, or you may be carrying around scars from your younger years. At the Fountain of Youth Med Spa in Victoria, TX, Dr. Nhi Le offers various services designed to treat and eliminate acne, acne scars, and rosacea.

It doesn’t matter whether you’re a pre-teen or in your fifties, acne and rosacea affect people of all ages. There are many causes of acne in adults and teenagers, including stress, hygiene, and genetics, to name a few. So how do you get rid of acne and rosacea once and for all?

Here are just a few of the ways we treat acne, acne scars, and rosacea:

Peels: There are many different peels that can help treat acne, including micro-peels, gel peels, the Hydrafcial, medical chemical peel, and Victoria acne treatment. Each has a different way to combat acne, so it’s best if you talk to Dr. Le about the right one for your skin type. Most of the peels require 3-6 treatments.

Lasers: One of the most effective ways to treat acne scarring is with a laser. The Fraxel skin resurfacing laser, used by Dr. Le, reaches the skin’s second layer, the dermis, helping to stimulate the body’s restorative abilities. This highly effective treatment may require a little healing and recovery time as new collagen and skin is formed.

IPL: The Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a non-ablative technology that uses light emitted at various wavelengths and intervals. The IPL photofacial treatments help to even out pigment, improve skin damaged by the sun or age, and helps to reduce redness and flushing from rosacea.

Achieve Flawless Skin and Banish Skin Tags, Moles & Warts

Most of us have had them: unsightly skin tags, warts or moles. Like acne, these skin conditions can make people self conscious about their skin, and often times there’s not much you can do about any of these conditions with professional help. That’s where the Fountain of Youth Med Spa comes in!

Skin tags, also known as acrochordon, is a small benign tumor that forms primarily in areas where the skin forms creases, such as the neck, groin and armpit. Skin tags are harmless and most of the time they’re painless. They are typically about the size of a grain of rice and they often raised from the surface on a fleshy stalk. It is believed they are caused by skin rubbing against skin. The are several ways to remove skin tags, but Dr. Le prefers to electrocauterize them, which is the process of heating tissue with electricity.

Moles, or melanocytic nevus, are a specific type of lesion that contains nevus cells. Most moles appear in the first two decades of one’s life, and these acquired moles are a form of benign neoplasm. Congenital moles, on the other hand, are considered a minor malformation and may pose a higher risk for melanoma, a form of skin cancer. There are many forms of moles, but it is best to get your skin checked by a dermatologist every year once you’re an adult, in order to spot and classify new moles.

Like skin tags, moles can be removed for cosmetic purposes, as most moles are benign. However, cancerous moles need to be removed immediately. There are several ways to remove moles, including with electrocauterization, but this is preferred for smaller moles. For larger moles (larger than 1 cm in diameter), Dr. Le will use the Fraxel Laser. For suspicious skin caner moles or lesions, Dr. Le will excise them or biopsy them and send them to a pathology lab for testing.

Warts are a small growth, typically on on’es hands or feet, that resemble a cauliflower. They are caused by a viral infection, by one of the many types of the human papillomavirus. Most warts are harmless, but they are highly contagious, and it is easy to get warts from others through broken skin. Warts typically disappear after a few months, but they can reappear again, and in some instances, last for years.

Like skin tags and moles, there are several different ways to treat warts. Some doctors prefer to use liquid nitrogen to freeze warts until they fall off. This treatment can be somewhat painful. Dr. Le prefers to use electrocauterization.

Keep in mind that before Dr. Le performs and minor skin lesion removal or destruction she applies a topical, or local, anesthesia to avoid pain! We also recommend a special cream or tape to reduce scarring and quicken the healing!

Don’t let unsightly skin tags, moles or warts embarrass you any more. You can permanently get rid of these skin conditions with the help of the Fountain of Youth Med Spa in Victoria, TX. If you’re in South Texas, including Corpus Christi, San Antonio, Austin, Houston, Port Lavaca or Sugarland, contact us today to learn more about these procedures.

You’re not about to stop living your life just because you’re afraid of getting wrinkles, fine lines and crow’s feet.  After all, they’re signs of a life well-lived – but that doesn’t mean you want to display your well-lived life to the rest of the world.

Get Beautiful Skin with an Acne Clear Treatment

It’s hard to look good when you’re suffering from acne.  No matter how much makeup ads and facial cleansing products promise to clear it up, nothing delivers on its promise.  So you end up piling on the makeup or worse, canceling on plans whenever you have a massive breakout.

That’s not even counting the emotional and mental trauma you experience from acne.  Sporting a breakout or constantly battling massive pimples can make your confidence plummet and your self-esteem to be nonexistent.  You find yourself questioning your self-worth, your physical beauty, and your own attractiveness to the opposite sex.

If you’re ready to finally get the clear and beautiful skin you deserve, then it’s time to head down to the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, TX!

So what makes us so sure that we can clear up your skin and give you the glowing face that will restore your confidence?

Well, we’re not only a medical spa with fully licensed and experienced medical professionals who know how to tackle tough dermatological issues – we’re a beauty spa that understands how acne affects your inner sense of self.  That’s why we don’t use treatments that take forever to work, or give you more acne before you start seeing results (seriously, what’s up with that?).  Instead, all of our facials are specifically formulated to unclog pores, clear acne and reveal the glowing skin that’s hiding underneath those blemishes.

Micro Peel.  Whether you want to get rid of acne or eliminate acne scars, our micro peel combines powerful microdermabrasion and chemical peel techniques to reveal your best skin yet.  Clients typically see results after just one treatment, and we recommend that patients receive a micro peel every three months.

Why Men Should Care About Their Skin

We often hear about the latest skin care lines and products for women, but lately there has been more and more advertising targeted at men. Why is this? For starters, men need to keep their skin hydrated and protected just like women. However, in the past, using lotions, creams and Botox was considered un-manly. Times have definitely changed and not only are more and more men are looking for skin care solutions, but more solutions and treatments are now available. This is why Dr. Nhi Le of the Fountain of Youth Med Spa in Victoria, TX offers a variety of skin care products and treatments for men.

There are varieties of lotions for men available now, but the one type of lotion that most men can agree on is the cancer and aging protection.  One of the biggest concerns men have about their skin is the threat of skin cancer and wrinkles. The easiest way to avoid this is to protect your face daily. These daily lotions typically not only provide an SPF of 10 or above, but also moisturize your face to keep it hydrated, without clogging pores; without being  greasy, oily or smelly; and free of irritating chemicals. Dr. Nhi Le recommends Solar Total Block Tizio3.

Another skin care concern that many men deal with is acne. Not only do young men and teenage boys suffer from acne, but adults as well. Dr. Le recommends Neostrata for oily or acne-prone skin. Neostrata is a soothing, enriched emollient cream designed to exfoliate and restore the skin. If you are looking for a treatment for your acne, rather than a skin care product, then consider Dr. Le’s micropeel, which can help clear up your skin in a matter of weeks!

Nowadays, men are doing more than simply turning to skin care products. There are various treatments available to help reduce wrinkles, problematic acne or acne scars, as well as sun spots or brown or red pigments. Cosmetic lasers have advanced dramatically in the past decade and Dr. Le offers some of the best laser technology, such as Fraxel and Matrix RF to treat acne scars, IPL Photofacials for sunspots, or a Hydrafacial to simply refresh your face.  Even Botox and fillers are becoming more popular among men. In 2001, 106,000 men received Botox treatments, compared to 856,000 total treatments. The number of men using Botox jumped to 300,000 in 2007 and 700,000 in 2010.

The Texas heat can be brutal on your skin and face, especially if you’re a man who does little to protect it. Skin cancer is a serious threat that no man should take lightly, but the good news is that you can easily protect yourself, not only from cancer, but also from acne and aging. If you’re on the gulf coast, around Victoria, Corpus Christi, and San Antonio, TX and you’re looking for the best men’s skin care products or skin care treatments then fill out the form in the top right corner, check out our product website, or call 361-576-9100.

Fraxel Laser Resurfacing: Rejuvenate Your Skin in Time for Summer

The summer season is nearly upon us – and you know what that means.

You’ll spend practically every day in those limb-baring tank tops and shorts.  You’ll spend those beach days in a revealing bikini or bathing suit.  And don’t forget just how much skin will be on show as you host the neighborhood barbeque or attend an outdoor concert.

Summer is a time for baring your skin with confidence, not hiding it away under makeup.  That’s why the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, TX is proud to offer a new facial rejuvenation treatment that really makes a difference: fraxel laser resurfacing.

If you’ve never heard of this unique treatment before, then you’re in for a pleasant surprise.  The Fountain of Youth Medical Spa’s innovative facial rejuvenation treatment targets those annoying fine lines, pesky wrinkles, pigment irregularities and even embarrassing acne scars.  By using a special laser therapy technique, one of our highly trained medical spa technicians will target your desired treatment area and work to eliminate your facial flaws.

By targeting deep into the second layer of skin – also known as the dermis – the laser stimulates and encourages new collagen growth.  As collagen is responsible for giving our facial skin a firm appearance and elastic feel, this renewed stimulation will make the face look and feel firmer.  New skin formation means that old flawed skin will quickly be removed by the body’s natural restorative abilities, thus fading the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, pigment discoloration and acne scars.

Ready for a fraxel laser resurfacing treatment at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, TX?  Then here are a few points you’ll need to know before you book your treatment:

  • Treatment is quick and simple, and downtime is minimum.  Patients can choose to resume their normal activities right after treatment, or they can rest for a few days if they so choose; recovery varies, as all patients are different.
  • After the treatment, your skin will be red and sensitive to the touch.  Therefore, it’s extremely important not to use irritating facial treatments (like those that contain glycolic acid or alpha-hydroxyl), and to use a high SPF sunscreen whenever going out into the sun.  Patients can choose to wear makeup if their skin does not feel too sensitive.
  • Results will show two to three months after treatment, as this is generally the time it takes for the dermis to develop new skin.  Like with recovery times, results vary from patient to patient.
  • Our medical spa technicians recommend three to six treatments done at intervals that are two to four weeks apart.

Capture the Fountain of Youth with the Ultimate Skin Rejuvenation Experience!

Who doesn’t dream of a skin rejuvenation experience that promises to erase wrinkles, smooth and firm up skin and recapture that youthful glow?

When it comes to looking and feeling good, nothing beats the appearance of smooth and supple skin.  Unfortunately, as we age, nature has other ideas for us: our collagen levels – that wonderful protein that supports our skin’s structure – starts to break down, our facial fat begins to thin and decades of laughing at your partner’s witty punch lines start to permanently etch themselves on your face.

In other words, as we age, our skin turns into a story – one that details just how old we really are.

If you’re ready to beat Mother Nature at her own game – and look fabulous while doing so – then it’s time to head to your nearest fountain of youth…

…The Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, TX!

At our innovative medical spa, we know that you expect nothing less than the best results.  That’s why we only use the most advanced technology to smooth away those unsightly lines and wrinkles.  With just a few sessions at our medical spa, you’ll walk out feeling – and looking – decades younger.

What’s more, we use a special anti-aging solution that avoids the tell-tale Botox look.  After all, you want to look younger – not like you’re permanently surprised.  We use ReFirme, an innovative treatment that targets all the signs of aging.  From saggy jowls and necks to those annoying bags under your eyes, ReFirme is a virtually painless and lightning-fast skin rejuvenation treatment that transforms your tired, sallow skin into a smooth and glowing visage.

Another anti-aging solution we use is Matrix IR, a safe, gentle and effective laser treatment that firms up facial skin and smoothes out even the deepest wrinkles.  In fact, Matrix IR is the only fractional laser to combine fractional optical energy with radio frequency for deep dermal heating for effective treatment of wrinkles.  This laser effectively remodels and rejuvenates collagen within the skin, giving patients a youthful glow that’ll have your friends and neighbors green with envy.

Worried that you’ll need a lot of downtime to recover?  Get ready to stand up and cheer: most patients return to normal activities immediately after treatment.  That means you can run errands, return to the office and even show off your youthful glow at happy hour with your incredulous coworkers.

For ultimate skin rejuvenation, we usually require clients to undergo two to three treatments at two to four week intervals; however, this typically depends on the condition of your skin.

Ready to believe in the Fountain of Youth?  Then head to the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, TX, where you’ll get your hands on the secrets to glowing youthful skin! Fill out the form to your right or call 361-576-9100 for more details.
