Spooky season is upon us, and while we may want to look haunting during the events, our skin shouldn’t suffer the same effect. The problem is that with the holiday stress and the dry air, it’s easy for the skin to become dull and lose its radiance. Stress can also reduce collagen, and with Halloween and Thanksgiving just around the corner, the skin can lose its shine.
Preventative and maintenance treatments can stall those effects, but consistency is key. Monthly laser maintenance and regular BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments can make you look like a beauty of Halloween beings. This blog will tell you how this combo can help.
How Laser Maintenance Month Benefits the Skin
Maintenance sessions should be performed as recommended by your skin care expert at Dermacare Medical Aesthetics, depending on the imperfections that your skin faces. This can include Laser Genesis, Fraxel® II Re:Store, Pico Skin Rejuvenation, and more.
These reduce sun damage and early signs of aging by starting a skin resurfacing process within the dermis.
Here’s how scheduling a treatment during maintenance month can benefit the skin:
1. Preserves Skin Clarity
Laser treatments target pigments and lesions within the skin, allowing it to absorb and then expel the damaged cells. This is very useful if you have skin issues such as sun spots, hyperpigmentation, freckles, broken capillaries, and even acne.
Monthly laser treatments keep the barrier strong, reducing present imperfections while preventing new ones from appearing.
2. Improves Skin Tone
An average of 60 to 70% of women have sensitive skin, causing it to frequently break out in redness and other unwanted issues. Skin tone concerns can also appear, especially with repeated sun exposure.
Laser maintenance strengthens the skin barrier to reduce the visibility of capillaries while evening out blotchy skin tones. Thus, you’ll be ready for Radiant Hour rather than the usual Witching Hour.
3. Smooths Skin Texture
Laser treatments create microscopic injuries in the skin that trigger a repair and remodeling process. This is effective if you have acne scars, enlarged pores, and other skin texture issues.
Monthly maintenance is recommended because the scars and texture issues can reappear if you’re not careful.
4. Reduces Wrinkles and Sagging
Laser maintenance continues a steady production of elastin and collagen, which slows significantly once we pass our 30s. Regular treatment can improve the skin quality within a few months, and maintenance ensures you enjoy the effects of boosted collagen in the long term.
No Tricks, Just Treats With BOOTOX: Why BOTOX® Cosmetic Is a Convenient Extra
While laser maintenance does its magic from within the dermis, BOOTOX complements the action by working on the epidermis. Based on botulinum toxin type A, its goal is to prevent unnecessary contractions that cause the skin to crease. With time, this reduces the intensity of dynamic wrinkles, as the skin no longer creases with your movements.
Here’s why pairing it with laser maintenance is recommended.
1. Faster Results
Laser treatments are effective in reducing deeper wrinkles and signs of aging, but it still takes at least a month to see those results. BOTOX® Cosmetic is faster, as dynamic wrinkles are less visible within a week. You can enjoy them for around three months, making it an asset for the upcoming holiday season.
2. Wrinkle Prevention
Since it’s scary season, you can use BOOTOX to scare the wrinkles away. Many men and women in their 30s use BOTOX® Cosmetic to prevent the appearance of wrinkles. Together with laser maintenance, it can take years for the first signs of aging to show, provided you are consistent with the treatments.
3. Creates a Friendlier Look
Did you want to look like a Disney princess, but somehow ended up looking like Winnie the Witch from Hocus Pocus? Dynamic wrinkles can give you that always-frowning-and-mad look when you don’t actually intend to be that way. BOOTOX can relax the muscles that constantly pull the face into a frown, taking away the wrinkles and the resting annoyance face.
