New Year. New You.
We are excited to introduce our new iPixel laser for fractional skin rejuvenation. The iPixel delivers greater precision while significantly reducing treatment and down time.
The iPixel laser vaporizes the skin to treat sun damage or acne scars and has great results on mild to medium wrinkling by tightening and resurfacing your skin. It works on all skin types and is safe for use all year round.
The iPixel rolls across your skin. Unlike traditional lasers which use a stamping or scanning technique, the iPixel module treats the targeted area with high speed and elegant efficiency. The laser creates an ablative thermal channel at the pixel area without disturbing the surrounding tissue. Those micro-ablated areas start the process of healing and the untreated area acts as a reservoir for rapid restoration. As collagen remodels, skin tightens and texture improves. The process is so gentle that it is used on the neck, chest, hands and face with little risk of complications.
KEY ADVANTAGES OF THE IPIXEL:
• Great results on mild to medium wrinkling
• Quick treatment time
• Little or no downtime
• Easy, in and out procedure
Please call (805) 681-7844 today to schedule your appointment at Sansum Clinic’s Facial Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics department. We offer a wide range of services, from skin care products to minimally invasive soft filler injectables or complete outpatient surgeries. We honor the gifts that nature has granted, restoring and highlighting each person’s unique beauty.
Getting Ready for Your Once in a Lifetime Event
Whether you are attending your 30th reunion or getting married, looking your best on the big day requires some planning. While every bride wants to walk down the aisle with beautiful skin tone and texture and picture-perfect symmetry – achieving the best results with no worrying side-effects requires some planning on the part of you and your aesthetician. Here are a few tips to help brides and others prepare to look their best on their special day and in those photos that will capture these moments for a lifetime.
You want to look refreshed on your big day, but nobody wants to look different, so we recommend a four to six week plan that leaves enough time to safely address any issues associated with boosting your appearance.
Four Weeks Away: We usually consider microdermabrasion at this time if it is called for. The gentle resurfacing brightens the skin tone and stimulates collagen. We can usually administer up to 6 treatments in four weeks prior to picture time.
Three Weeks Away: Now is a good time to consider dermal fillers such as Restylane or Juvederm to smooth out any deep lines or problem wrinkle areas. The results are immediate with no significant down time, but it can take a week or two for the products to settle in and to allow time for any resulting bruising to heal.
Two Weeks Away: About 2 weeks before your event is the time to consider products such as Botox or Dysport cosmetics. These treatments take anywhere from a few days to a week to take full effect. Two weeks gives you time to live with the result, and to do any touchups to help you look your best.
One Week Away: At only one week away, it is not too late to consider a light chemical peel or a glycolic treatment. We offer many procedures and products that give instant results with little or no signs of treatment beyond a beautifully improved skin tone.
Patients seeking more substantial benefits may wish to consider a variety of options from surgical procedures to deeper peels and intense light treatments. If you are considering Laser Hair Removal, we usually recommend starting treatments 6 to 8 weeks in advance. Our latest Pain-free, Hair-Free™ laser techniques take about 5 weekly treatments to give you the smooth glow that you seek. These procedures may each take longer times to present their true endpoints, so a consultation is recommended well in advance of your event.
