Minimally-Invasive Procedures You Should Be Trying

It used to be that your only option for cosmetic enhancement was full-on surgery. Surgical procedures are still the best choice for many women and men. But today you have so many more options – minimally-invasive procedures that are fast, with little to no discomfort or downtime. These procedures are safe, and they’re surprisingly effective.

Some of these procedures are well-known – Botox injections, for example. But we’re guessing there are options you’ve never heard of. So here are some minimally-invasive and entirely non-invasive procedures we think you should try. They are favorites with our patients here at Rocky Mountain Laser Aesthetics.

Laser Hair Reduction

Unlike shaving and waxing, laser hair removal is a permanent solution. This relatively quick and painless alternative uses a gentle beam of light to bypass the skin and directly target hair follicles. It takes a few repeat sessions to treat all your follicles, as they have varied growth cycles, but you’ll start seeing results quickly. Unfortunately, laser hair reduction does not work if you have blonde, red, or white hair because the laser can target only darker hairs.

Laser Spider Vein Removal

We can now use laser technology to eliminate spider veins as well as redness, age spots and freckles, small moles, and enlarged pores.

Facial Rejuvenation

Looking to lose some of those age-related fine lines and wrinkles? Or to reduce the appearance of acne or other facial scars? Whatever your aesthetic goals, we have just the thing. A free consultation with one of our skin care experts can help you uncover the “secret weapon” best-suited to your skin. Consider trying:

• Laser peels. We offer several variations, each designed to address certain skin issues, from softening fine lines and wrinkles to refining scars and reversing the effects of aging and sun damage. Patients especially love the new Ultimate Laser Peel – a triple peel that we like to say makes three times the difference, in just one appointment.
• Chemical peels. Choose either TCA or glycolic, or a melanage peel to lighten skin. Better yet, how ’bout a customized medical peel, formulated just for you?
• Microdermabrasion. We love this, and our patients do, too. It’s non-invasive, pain-free and requires no downtime, so it is a wonderful alternative to the more rigorous chemical peels.

Botox and Dysport

You know Botox injections reduce small muscle movement. That helps reduce the look of forehead lines, crow’s feet and frown lines. But did you know Dr. Jeff Raval also recommends Botox in combination with some dermal fillers to give longer-lasting results? And did you know Botox is now also used to treat hyperhidrosis (excessive underarm sweating)? If you’ve been fighting this problem, you’re going to love this new solution.

Whatever your goal, Botox is injected using a very fine needle to reduce any discomfort. And treatments usually take just 10 minutes. Talk about something made for your business lifestyle!

Dysport is made from the same key ingredient as Botox, made by a different company. We offer both to give you more choice.

Dermal Fillers

These are so popular with our patients, it’s hard to recommend just one. We offer five fillers – although there is some overlap, each is specially formulated to address “niche” skin and/or facial rejuvenation issues, with results that can last up to two years. Try these if you want to reduce wrinkles or folds or give your lips, eye and/or nose areas a more youthful look:

• Restylane
• Restylane Silk
• Restylane Lyft
• Juvederm
• Voluma

Which of all these options is our favorite? We don’t have just one. Just like you, all our patients are unique, with different aesthetic challenges, different skin types, and different lifestyles. That’s why we offer so many options. And why we think you should give some of them a try, whether you want to correct a specific problem or you simply want to look and feel refreshed.
