Love the Skin you are in for 2010! Anti-aging options that will keep your skin glowing like a Pearl.

There is a growing demand among the true “grit” (girls raised in the South), for a more aggressive treatment to address wrinkles and uneven skin texture caused by too many days in the sun, pregnancy mask and post-acne while also wanting to minimize the recovery time. Our experience from other ablative technologies and messy chemical peels are out with the old and Pearl Laser is in with the New Year’s resolutions.

Pearl® Skin resurfacing can be relatively simple and get you back to your social calendar in just 4 -5-days. With providing a safe technology to satisfy a busy working professional or active Mom; the Pearl treatment maximizes the ratio of cosmetic benefit to social downtime. After 3 years of use at Mona Spa, the Pearl Laser has earned the positive report from dozens of men and women that return once a year to “get Pearled” for anti-aging therapy.

Three mechanisms of treatment must be included when considering skin resurfacing for fresher, younger looking skin:

·       The safe removal of a portion of the epidermis is achieved with a controlled amount of vaporization. 10-30 microns of epidermis are vaporized in this process. You will not experience oozing, bleeding or skin crusts.

  • Simultaneously, sufficient heat to produce coagulation is generated in the remaining epidermis. Depending upon selected energy, the coagulation region can vary from partial to full epidermal damage. This coagulation region creates a natural protective dressing on the skin that remains intact during the restorative process and naturally minimizes downtime.
  • Finally, residual heat in the dermis generates new collagen growth.

Targeted fine line areas such as the delicate lips, around the mouth and eyes will resolve to smoother, re-modeled and fuller skin.

LimeLight Facial is ideal for any part of your face, and also the neck and décolleté with skin redness, telangiectasia (tiny veins) or brown spots. Light (low contrast) brown spots, which were previously difficult to resolve, respond very well to treatment. A customized LimeLight Facial, gauged to your skin type will selectively treat the areas of your skin preparing it for the Pearl Laser treatment or maintaining a healthier skin because of your outdoors lifestyle.

New brown spots, telangiectasia and diffuse redness may appear with new sun damage; however they too can be maintained with Solar Genesis including Limelight Facial and Laser Genesis touch up visits to the spa. Remember to always apply broad-spectrum sunscreen when outdoors to minimize sun damage and the appearance of new spots and diffuse redness.
