* Laser Tattoo Removal- Highly precise lasers can lighten or remove your tattoo by focusing or pulsing light on the ink particles, which then convert the energy to heat and break up into tiny pieces that are absorbed harmlessly by the body. Tattoos fade by 95% or more over the course of multiple treatments. 8-10 treatments is recommended every 6-8 weeks.
The summer heat can not only dehydrate you but also soak in the moisture from your skin, making it dry and frail. This Fall remove the sun damage and rectify uneven tone caused due to the sun. Please call our office at (817) 473-2120 for more information on our Med Spa services.
Laser Skin Tightening- Current special is Buy 3 sessions, get 3 FREE
Laser skin tightening is fast becoming a very popular treatment. This treatment has no downtime and is ideal for targeting the signs of aging. It will help to improve jowl and neck laxity, under
eye sagging, nasolabial folds, and drooping brows. A series of 6 treatments (each spaced 2 weeks apart) produces a fresher tighter, more youthful appearance without pain, invasive procedures or downtime.
How It Works
The Skin Tightening handpiece uses near infrared technology. Deep dermal heating induces the production of collagen. The delivery of energy is uniform and effectively targets lipids and connective tissue. This causes two major mechanisms, heat induced collagen shrinkage and micro thermal injury as well as dermal regeneration, repair and remodeling. The results are dramatic, while being comfortable and without causing damage to the epidermis.
Advantages
- Quick and easy treatment
- No damage to the epidermis
- Activates dermal regeneration, repair and remodeling
- No downtime and can be done over lunch hour
- Very good for lax skin around eyes and brows
- Can be used on the body as well

Laser 360
Laser360™ is a skin treatment for anyone who would like to revitalize their look without invasive procedures or injections. You no longer have to accept fine lines and wrinkles or skin discoloration as an inevitable part of the aging process.
Laser 360 – What You Can Expect
Using 3 cutting-edge technologies, Laser360 is a non-invasive, comfortable procedure that provides lasting results in just 60 days through a series of office visits. These skin tightening treatments are safe, comfortable and effective without surgery or down time.
It can be used on any skin type, and you are free to return to normal activities immediately after each session.
How Does Laser 360 Skin Care Therapy Work?
Laser360 uses three technologies to provide complete skin rejuvenation:
- AFT intense pulsed light for color
Pulses of light even out your skin color and reduce tiny broken blood vessels and other color irregularities. - Near-infrared for tightness
Deep heating helps firms up any loose skin so you regain a more youthful, contoured appearance. - Pixel® for texture and tone
This precision laser creates thousands of microscopic perforations, which stimulate new collagen to grow. The new collagen improves your skin’s texture and tone to smooth fine lines and wrinkles. The skin around each of these perforations remains intact, which allows the skin’s top layer to heal from the edge of these tiny holes very rapidly.
Each technology is delivered through a simple handpiece that is placed against your skin. The treated area will gradually rejuvenate over the course of your customized treatment plan.

Q. Why is retinol used in cellulite minimizing creams?
A. Many of the new cellulite minimizing creams contain retinol as the ingredient that is called out on the front packaging. Remember that when an ingredient is called out on the packaging, this is not a claim and implies no efficacy. It is only restating what is already disclosed on the ingredient listing. Review of several retinol-containing cellulite creams reveals that the ingredient is toward the end of the list indicating a lower concentration. Most retinol cellulite products also contain caffeine, which is a beta-adrenergic stimulator. Remember that beta-adrenergic stimulation is thought to increase lipolysis.
Several articles appear in the dermatologic literature advocating the use of tretinoin to treat cellulite. It may be that this literature is being used to support the use of retinol, a distant retinoid relative of tretinoin. Remember that the retinol and caffeine in these products is placed in a carefully formulated moisturizing vehicle. It may be that much of the consumer-perceived improved tactile properties is vehicle derived. Clinical testing is required to provide more insight.

Do you want to look younger, longer?…………….If you want to keep the hands of time from ticking, it’s critical to wear sunscreen around your eyes to slow down all the telltale signs of aging in this area. The effects of sun exposure can contribute to the formation and worsening of wrinkles, dark circles and puffiness. And yet even the most dedicated SPF wearers often miss this super-important spot.
According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, eyelids are a common site for skin cancer, with five to 10 percent of all basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma occurring here. Since lids contain so little tissue, skin cancer spreads faster here than in other areas.
Now, I understand that it’s common for people to neglect sunscreen application around the eyes because it can cause stinging in many cases. But it doesn’t have to! Here’s how to protect your eyes effortlessly.
Use an eye cream with SPF built in, this way you can work it seamlessly into your morning routine. And since it’s formulated for the eye area, it’s designed to stay put and not run into your eyes, which can cause stinging.
Try SkinCeuticals Physical Eye UV Defense-spf50- Delivering a new standard in eye care, this ophthalmologist-tested sunscreen defends, enhances, and optimizes the entire eye area, including the eye lid. Formulated specifically for the unique structure of the thinner and more sensitive skin around the eye, Physical Eye UV Defense provides broad spectrum SPF 50 protection without migrating into and irritating the eyes. A unifying tint enhances skin tone while ceramides nourish, creating a smooth, optimal canvas for makeup application.
- 100% mineral base, broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection.
- Non-migrating formula prevents irritation of the eye.
- Sheer, universal tint suitable for all skin types, unifies natural skin tone around the eye.
- Proven safe for use from the brow bone to the cheek bone, even on the eye lid.
- Nourishes thin, delicate skin around the eye.
Look for sunglasses that are labeled with UVA/UVB protection, and wear them as an extra buffer to your sunscreen. Just keep in mind that while good shades do provide a lot of protection, it’s still not enough alone. Routinely wearing sunglasses outside will also prevent you from squinting, which is a notorious cause of wrinkling around the eyes. Plus, you’ll look glamorous.
By taking a moment to care for the skin around your eyes daily, you can enjoy the wisdom that comes with age instead of premature wrinkles!
Please contact our office at (817) 473-2120 to order the SkinCeuticals Physical Eye UV Defense today and keep protected this summer and year round.
