Aesthetic Skin Treatments: Benefits, Procedures, and Expectations

Aesthetic skin treatments! At A Body Renaissance, we pride ourselves on offering results-based methods to meet all your skin care needs.

There are many treatments to choose from, which can make it hard to understand the best option for you. In this comprehensive guide, you will learn about five treatments’ benefits, procedures, and what to expect afterwards.

Acne Treatments

Radio Frequency & Microneedling

Aesthetic Laser

Botox

Dermal Fillers

Aesthetic skin treatments are minimally invasive facial procedures that create healthier and younger skin. They are typically done in under an hour or two and require little to no downtime afterwards.

Aesthetic and cosmetic skin treatments both aim to support healthier skin, though the procedures vary in intensity and invasiveness. Aesthetics go as far as injectables, while cosmetic treatments use incisions. This makes recovery time longer and calls for painkillers during and after cosmetic procedures.

All of our facial services offered at A Body Renaissance are aesthetic skin treatments. These aesthetic treatments are low-risk and deliver natural-looking results.

Benefits

According to the American Academy of Dermatology Association, there are multiple reasons to treat acne promptly, whether as a teen or an adult. The benefits of acne treatment vary from person to person. The AADA lists seven in their guide: faster results, fewer scars, fewer lingering spots, preventing mild acne from becoming severe, avoiding years of acne, and avoiding emotional distress.

Procedure

Your acne treatment is as special as you are, and our procedure reflects that. Both teens and adults are given personalized plans that may include: daily wash routine, in-clinic procedures (peels, laser), or, when necessary, medication.

Treatments target inflammation, bacteria, and eventually treat scars and unwanted texture through various methods as prescribed by the provider.

Expectations

Visible results typically appear 4 to 8 weeks after consistent treatment. Patients usually note reduced inflammation, smoother skin, and clearer complexion. Depending on the severity, it is noted that you should practice patience with your reactions to treatments and delayed results.

Benefits

The micro-injuries of microneedling combined with the growth stimulation of radio frequencies promote healthier, youthful skin. This process stimulates collagen regeneration, which offers a range of benefits for your dermal layers.

Microneedling paired with radio frequency improves the texture of your skin by treating wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and stretch marks. Additionally, by targeting deeper dermal layers, this process also enhances skin permeability (absorption of products) and hair follicle growth.

Procedure

RF microneedling involves hundreds of tiny needles paired with heat. The micro tears from the needles and heat waves open the skin and tighten it in the process.

This procedure is not overtly painful and creates stinging sensations. Some areas are more sensitive than others.

Expectations

Your face will be numbed for the procedure. Depending on the targeted areas, it may take up to 45 minutes. Patients report feeling as if they have a sunburn after the treatment.

Swelling is normal during healing, and cool compression can help relieve discomfort. Redness of the skin disappears within 3 to 4 days. Lasting results occur around 5 to 6 weeks, and doctors recommend at least 2 or 3 rounds of treatments.

Benefits

Much like RF microneedling, lasers penetrate deep layers of the skin to rejuvenate collagen proteins. Lasers help treat wrinkles, fine lines, and acne scars while promoting a smooth texture with a youthful glow.

Lasers are quick and tackle multiple issues at once. Because of the collagen stimulation, your skin receives lasting, natural benefits. Laser range is also safe for most skin types and pigments.

Procedure

Lasers are micro-focused on varying depths of skin, depending on your needs. This non-invasive procedure can last from 30 minutes to 2 hours and requires little to no downtime. The procedure can cause discomfort, in which case your provider will numb your face. Occasionally, you may take a sedative if you choose to have extensive, deeper work done.

Expectations

Topical care afterwards helps with redness and inflammation, which disappear within a few days of treatment. Doctors recommend 6 to 8 sessions for lasting results. You can expect to see visible results, such as brightness and smoother texture, within 4 weeks. Within a few months, you will see reduced wrinkles and acne scarring.

Benefits

Surprisingly, Botox benefits more than just skin appearance. These injections have proven to treat migraines, certain eye problems, and inhibit your ability to create sweat and saliva. Botox has also been used to treat the pain associated with endometriosis.

For the skin, Botox reduces wrinkles and fine lines by relaxing facial muscles. Additionally, it also enhances the texture and tone of your skin for a youthful appearance.

Procedure

Botox treatments are super speedy, lasting under 30 minutes. Besides a small pinch, Botox injections are painless and non-invasive.

Expectations

You may experience light bruising, redness, or swelling at injection sites. These sensations subside within a few days. Some patients report headaches right after procedures are completed. Improvements in appearance begin as soon as 3 days after treatment and last up to 4 months. Continued maintenance trains the relaxation of the face and sustains results for longer.

Benefits

Because of their fullness effects, dermal fillers lift your face and enhance your natural contours. Besides plumping your natural features, fillers smooth your skin and restore lost volume. You will notice results immediately after treatment.

Procedure

A quick treatment, fillers take about 30-60 minutes maximum. The actual procedure is brief, with small injections in targeted areas followed by a small massage.

Expectations

Minimal downtime and slight pinching accompany this treatment. Fillers provide lasting results, up to 24 months after initial injection. You may experience temporary swelling or bruising for a few days after the procedure.

Aesthetic skin treatments are universally appreciated by patients and doctors alike. Minimally invasive and sometimes quick enough to get on your lunch break, these procedures enhance your physical appearance and confidence straight away.
