That’s why at Bodyvie, we offer our patients choices when looking for skin rejuvenation and resurfacing facial treatment.
Here are three very different non-surgical anti-ageing treatments for addressing wrinkles, lines, loss of skin elasticity and photodamage.
1. Obagi Blue Peel Radiance
The what: non-invasive pharmaceutical-grade skin peel for brightening, tightening and revitalising dull and ageing skin.
The why: minimal downtime/encourages cell renewal/reduces sunspots and fine lines & wrinkles.
The how: works on the skin’s surface by burning off the top layer of skin, making way for younger skin.
If you’re new to non-surgical skincare treatments, Obagi’s glycolic peel facial containing 2% glycolic and lactic acid and 20% salicylic acid, is super lightweight, making it a great introductory peel.
Post-peel, a solution of peptides, witch hazel and retinol are applied, as well as SPF 50. A form of Vitamin A (an antioxidant), retinol is one of the most effective anti-ageing ingredients in skincare, speeding up skin cell turnover. The effects of your peel can be visible for up to a month, and you’ll notice the full results within 5-7 days.
Glycolic peel facials such as Obagi Blue Peel Radiance contain glycolic acid, made up of small molecules that can quickly and efficiently break down the bonds between dead skin cells. As an ingredient with low molecular weight, glycolic acid can reduce fine lines and wrinkles by exfoliating the top layer of skin, aiding collagen synthesis.
2. Laser skin resurfacing with the Youlase Multiplatform Laser
The what: a combination of ablative and non-ablative skin laser treatment that removes the top layer of skin and encourages new cell generation.
The why: anti-ageing treatment that reduces wrinkles and skin sagging around the eyes, mouth, and whole face.
The how: fractional technology resurfaces skin affected by reduced skin laxity and increased creped skin and wrinkles.
One of the most advanced facial rejuvenation treatments currently available, the Youlase Multiplatform Laser works simultaneously to remove the top layer of skin and penetrate into the deeper layers of skin to stimulate your skin’s natural healing process, generating the production of new cells.
Not only does treatment renew smoothness to skin that has lost its elasticity, its versatility is such that it can combat large pores, surgical scars, photodamage and fine lines and wrinkles.
If you are looking for skin resurfacing in Richmond but do not wish to go down the surgical route, we strongly recommend booking a consultation at Bodyvie to learn more about laser skin resurfacing.
3. Plasma Pen
The what: handheld device that creates microtrauma across targeted areas of the skin. Suitable for various age-related skin conditions, including fine lines, hooded eyes, sagging skin, and eye bags.
The why: regenerates the skin, improving its vitality and quality. Suitable for covering large skin surfaces (more uniform than ablative surfacing with laser treatments).
The how: induces the skin to contract with thermal energy and creates essential proteins and growth factors such as fibroblasts within the skin.
Whilst laser skin resurfacing is more accurate at targeting specific skin conditions and smaller areas of skin, the plasma pen can resurface larger areas of skin. So, if you have prevalent wrinkles across the eye (crow’s feet) or cheek area, the plasma pen may be more transformative for restoring that youthful texture and suppleness.
We recommend combining treatments such as the plasma pen or laser resurfacing with regular skin peels, which will help to maintain the effects of longer-lasting treatments (such as treatments 2 and 3 on our list).
