  • Does Skin Tightening Work?

    Aging is inevitable. Our skin and bodies often take the brunt of it. While we do not have the technology to stop aging, we can do things to minimize its effect on our appearance. Look no further than Advanced Skin and Body Solutions for your Bellevue skin tightening needs! We have great options for skin tightening with the revolutionary technology of Morpheus8 (which contours and tightens the face and body).

    Time, genetics, environmental factors, and lifestyle can impact the quality of collagen and elastin. Morpheus8 enhances your skin and builds collagen and elastin proteins to leave you feeling (and looking) like a younger, more radiant version of yourself.

    What is Morpheus8 Skin Tightening?

    Skin Tightening

    Morpheus8 is a device that uses radiofrequency “RF” energy to create healthier and younger-looking skin on the face and body by promoting the production of collagen and elastin. RF energy is scientifically proven to rebuild and repair the collagen that the body naturally loses throughout life.

    Our Bellevue skin tightening treatment at ASBS is a minimally invasive procedure using micro-pins to target deeper layers of the skin. The technology of Morpheus8 prompts the remodeling of tissue and tightens your skin from within. It does not damage the skin’s surface at all. While it may feel “strange” to newcomers, we offer numbing cream and Pro-Nox relaxing gas if desired.

    Combined with the RF energy, Morpheus8 delivers amazing results. Unlike standard microneedling, the device can penetrate up to 5mm deep into the dermis and apply heat for very powerful results.

    Morpheus8 technology treats wrinkles, loss of volume, loose skin, and uneven pigmentation, as well as stretch marks and acne scars. It can be beneficial to have the treatment in multiple areas of the body, including around the eyes, face, neck, abdomen, back, glutes, and thighs.

    Unlike with some surgical procedures, anyone can benefit from and partake in Morpheus8 treatments. Keep in mind that everyone is different, and results can vary from one client to the next.

    Our Master Estheticians will work with you to customize your treatment plan for optimal results!

    What Can I Expect During and After Morpheus8 Treatments?

    Treatments usually take between 30-60 minutes. Many clients often feel little to no discomfort as we apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment area(s) before the procedure. We offer Pro-Nox™ relaxing gas on request for clients who are more prone to discomfort. Our primary goal is to keep you comfortable during treatment!

    Expect to see a slightly sunburned look after Morpheus8 treatments with your skin appearing slightly red and tender. You might notice micro lesions appearing a few days after your treatment, but keep in mind this is completely normal and will pass shortly after. As the treatment is minimally invasive, there is little to no downtime. Be sure to keep your treatment area(s) moisturized and avoid direct exposure to the sun. 

    If you have any concerns after your treatment, please reach out to us.

    How Many Treatments Will I Need?

    Typically, most clients will undergo 3+ treatments. Morpheus8 at our medspa in Bellevue delivers long-lasting results, however, as skin continues to age, further treatments may be required. Expect to return within 12 to 18 months for maintenance treatments.

    When Will I See Results? 

    Morpheus8 at ASBS gives remarkable results! It delivers initial results after one treatment with noticeable results appearing in 3+ weeks. After multiple skin tightening treatments in Bellevue, further results will appear in only 3-4 months. That’s a great timeline to help you achieve your skin goals.

    What Are the Next Steps?

    You deserve to feel and look like the best version of yourself. We would love to see you at Advanced Skin and Body Solutions in Bellevue for a skin-tightening consultation. During your consultation, our amazing Master Estheticians will work with you to determine your individual goals and areas of concern.

    We believe in providing our clients with a high-quality experience and care before, during, and after their visits to our spa.

    If you have questions or would like to schedule a consultation for Morpheus8, please contact us at 425-643-5772!

  • How Effective Is Body Sculpting?

    Have you worked out like crazy, eaten all the right foods, and still feel like you aren’t “there” yet with your body? Sometimes, it doesn’t matter how hard you work or what kind of foods you eat, we just can’t seem to get there.  That is due to no fault of your own! We have genetics, body type and shape to thank for that.

    However, if you’re still looking to take your body confidence to the next level without going under the knife, body sculpting is the game changer you’re looking for! Don’t forget, it’s not just for women, body sculpting is for men too! 

    What Is Body Sculpting?

    Body sculpting is the umbrella term for non-surgical body shaping techniques.  These techniques use advanced technology to help eliminate fat cells, tighten the skin, and reshape the body without the need for risky surgery.

    Body sculpting gives you the chance to look and feel your best without the hassle of recovery time and surgical scars. 

    Types of Body Sculpting Treatments

    Here at Advanced Skin and Body Solutions we offer the latest and greatest in non-surgical body sculpting treatments.  We offer solutions to help our clients look and feel their best by presenting them with aesthetic treatments, injectables and body sculpting treatments and creating a bespoke treatment plan that gives them exactly what they are looking for. The following treatments are what we offer at our Bellevue, WA medspa!

    CoolSculpting

    You’ve most likely heard of CoolSculpting, which has been on the market for several years and is a favorite of celebrities. CoolSculpting uses temperature technology to freeze away and reduce fat cells in stubborn areas of the body like stomach, butt, hips, thighs and even the upper arms. 

    Emsculpt NEO

    body sculpting

    Emsculpt NEO is a muscle toning treatment that pairs great with CoolSculpting! While CoolSculpting uses temperature technology, Emsculpt NEO uses HIFEM (high-intensity focused electromagnetic) and radiofrequency technology to activate and stimulate muscle contractions and give you a better boost than a workout! You’ll find that areas of concern (butt, thighs, calves, etc) are more toned and tightened, even after the first treatment! 

    Morpheus8

    Morpheus8 is a revolutionary treatment that boosts collagen production and leaves you with a youthful, fresh appearance! Think of Morhpeus8 as a real life skin filter! 

    Using micro-pins and fraction radiofrequency technology to reshape adipose tissue, tighten the skin, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, stretch marks, acne scars, and more! Once your Morpheus8 treatment plan has ended you will be left with radiant, youthful and healthy-looking skin on your face and body! 

    Body Sculpting

    Is Body Sculpting Effective?

    Body sculpting is touted by celebrities, athletes, and the elite worldwide! The results also speak for themselves and can be comparable and even more preferable to surgical procedures like liposuction and other body contouring surgeries. 

    When you visit a medspa for a Body sculpting treatment consultation the trained estheticians will walk you through how many treatments you need to reach the results you’re looking for! 

    And, unlike surgical procedures, you can pair treatments together to get the trifecta of results, reduction in fat, toned muscles, and radiant, youthful skin! 

    The best part? You can get these treatments done back and back and enjoy little to no downtime after they are completed.

  • Psst… Our treatments are for men too!

    CoolSculpting, Botox, Emsculpt, oh my! These medical spa treatments often common with a preconceived notion as being geared towards women. After all, many advertisements for treatments such as these feature before and after images that are primarily women, which may lead one to believe that men cannot experience the same tremendous results.

    However, at Advanced Skin & Body Solutions, our services are available to everyone! After all, why should women have all the fun? In fact, there are many benefits that men can experience by taking advantage of these many services. Let’s take a look at some of our most popular treatment options and why men should consider booking an appointment for them today!

    CoolSculpting for Men

    Are you dealing with stubborn fat patches that simply will not disappear, no matter how many reps you put in at the gym? While there is a stereotype that men lose fat easier and quicker than women, that is not always the case. There is often more factors at play that contribute to the ability to lose weight, and regardless of what is slowing your progress, CoolSculpting can help.

    This treatment utilizes advanced technology to freeze fat cells below the skin’s surface. These frozen cells die and are flushed out of the body as waste. Once these cells are eliminated, they cannot grow back, which leads to long-lasting results and a more toned appearance! Whether you are looking to chisel your abs, chest, back, or chin, this treatment may be a good option for you!

    Botox for Men

    While Botox is commonly thought of as only a treatment for wrinkles, that’s not all it can do! Sure, if you would like to reduce fine lines across your face, Botox is a great option, but there are many other benefits for men as well. Did you know that Botox can actually help to reduce sweating? The production of sweat is normal and serves a purpose, but overproduction can be embarrassing and a hassle to take care of. Botox paralyzes sweat glands and can cut down on the amount of sweat being produced.

    In addition, Botox can help relax your muscles, reducing spasms and stiffness. In fact, this is actually what it was originally created for! One more benefit of Botox is that it can help alleviate chronic migraines, and is even recommended by the American Migraine Foundation!

    Emsculpt for Men

    Are you looking to gain more muscle definition, tightening and toning specific areas of your body? EmSculpt may be the answer for you! You can accomplish more in half an hour with this treatment than any session in the gym! In fact, Emsculpt essentially causes 20,000 muscle contractions in 30 minutes, according to this article. How long would it take you to do all those reps manually?

    What’s the difference between CoolSculpting and Emsculpt? While CoolSculpting freezes fat cells, Emsculpt warms muscles, stimulating muscle growth. Whether you plan on using both to tag team your fat reduction and muscle toning, or you have already eliminated fat and simply want to utilize Emsculpt to boost your bulking, our team of experts can help determine the best way to achieve your desired results.

    And More for Men!

    These aren’t all the services we offer, as there are plenty more treatments here that have many benefits for men. Whatever your goals and desires are, we can help you reach them. Get in touch with us to schedule a free consultation today!

  • New Skin Tightening Devices!

    Have you heard of Morpheus8 skin tightening in Bellevue, or Evoke facial contouring technologies? They are newer solutions to an age old problem: sagging, loose skin which gets worse as we age. Over time, our skin loses its natural stores of collagen and elastin. From there, it can be hard to restore skin tightness. You might try Botox and fillers, maybe a non-surgical thread lift, but Morpheus8 and Evoke can restore smooth, tight skin like never before.

    The devices are made by “Inmode” – a medical company with a mastery of “radiofrequency” energy and its effect on skin laxity. So how does “RF” energy affect the skin? Let’s talk about science…

    What is “Radiofrequency”?

    Since 2001, radiofrequency has been used in various forms of skin tightening; it’s a form of heat energy (electromagnetic waves). WiFi internet is even a type of RF wave. In the skin, RF energy fast-tracks collagen production when your body releases heat shock proteins. These proteins are directly linked to new collagen production. Collagen is the key to anti-aging treatments.

    Advanced Skin and Body Solutions frequently uses RF energy for skin tightening in Bellevue. You’ll love our two devices! The first, easiest device to use is Evoke facial contouring.

    NEW Evoke Headset:

    Evoke is so easy. It applies RF energy and volumetric heating deep in the skin’s subdermal layers. It’s totally non-invasive. As a simple headset, it looks like a “virtual reality” device or something from a sci-fi film. Our team places it over your cheeks / chin, and the device uses AI for precise heating over ~45 minutes. Evoke contours and tightens several areas: chin, jaw, cheeks, jowls, and the neck.

    Collagen production takes time to kick in, so you’ll likely need to return for 3-6 follow up Evoke treatments for maximum effect. You’ll start to notice tightening after just a few weeks. Your cheeks and jowls may start to look “lifted”, contoured and tighter. Luckily, there is no down time at all. There’s also no special post-care, and clients may return to their normal lifestyle immediately after treatment.

    Evoke’s only downside is that it’s limited to the face. Evoke is usually for smaller corrections, while Morpheus8 skin tightening in Bellevue achieves even more tightening.

    NEW Morpheus8 (Microneedling):

    Morpheus8 is a bigger ask for clients, but it achieves greater results. The RF microneedling component uses 24 micro-pins to reshape adipose tissue while tightening skin all over: full face, eyes, abs, glutes, back, and thighs. The pins actually kill microscopic fat cells, so you are left with less fat too. Of course, RF energy also stimulates collagen.

    It’s a bigger ask because you may feel some discomfort from Morpheus8, though we apply topical numbing beforehand to minimize that. We also offer Pro-Nox™ relaxing gas for more comfort. The reward is tighter skin, fewer wrinkles, smoother stretch marks, fewer acne scars and a more youthful appearance. It’s the best treatment to solve these issues.

    Morpheus8 skin tightening in Bellevue shows results in just 3+ weeks, with full results at 3-4 months. Most clients need 3 or more Morpheus treatments for the best result. Skin results can last from 12 to 18 months, so it’s a great decision in the long term.

    So What Are You Waiting For?

    We are currently booking Morpheus8 treatments well-in-advance, and we’re among the most popular local providers. Book your Evoke or Morpheus8 treatments today: (425) 643-5772. 📲

    We look forward to treating you.

  • 5 Ways To Use Botox That You May Not Know

    5 Ways To Use Botox That You May Not Know

    Botox. We know it. We love it. It’s undoubtedly the most popular and received aesthetic treatment in the country.

    Every year millions of people flock to med spas around the nation to get Botox. It’s the magic wrinkle eraser that takes years off the clock and keeps us feeling young and glowing!

    However, did you know that there is more to Botox than just cosmetic purposes?

    Botox wears many hats and can help everyone from Baby Boomers to Millennials with quite a few different aspects of a person’s health and lifestyle.

    Want to know more about the ways you can Botox that you may not know? Keep reading!

    Excessive Sweating

    Here at Advanced Skin and Body Solutions we offer Botox injections for excessive underarm sweating.

    Hyperhidrosis is a condition that causes people to sweat excessively for no apparent reason. Your sweat glands are overactive and can cause you to sweat for hours on end.

    Thankfully, Botox injections help to relax those overactive sweat glands and give you some relief!

    Migraine And Headache Relief

    When you suffer from migraines and intense headaches it can seem like NOTHING helps you get relief from that pain.

    When you have a migraine you can be in debilitating pain that keeps you from living life for a few days. Thankfully, in 2010 the FDA approved Botox for migraine treatment!

    Given in small doses, botulinum toxin can reduce migraine attacks, with patients seeing a 50% reduction in their headaches!

    Overactive Bladder

    Overactive bladder affects over 30 million people across the United States. Overactive bladder can happen to both women and men, and can cause self-esteem issues among the frequent bathroom breaks and occasional accidents.

    In 2013, the FDA approved Botox for assistance with overactive bladder. Like Botox relieves muscle tightness, it relieves bladder tension and relaxes it to increase storage capacity.

    Reduction In Shoulder And Neck Pain

    If you have a literal “pain in your neck” you can possibly find relief with Botox injections!

    Chronic neck pain, TMJ, shoulder and neck spasms, myofascial pain and more can be lessened with the help of Botox.

    Those who received Botox for these conditions found that the severity of their pain was lessened, they were able to sleep better and their quality of life was improved, being able to return to their favorite activities.

    Stomach Issues

    Your stomach is one big muscle. What does Botox help with? Relaxing muscles!

    Those who struggle with digestive issues could find that their digestion improves with the help of Botox. When you have trouble passing food from your stomach to intensities it can cause pain, bloating, acid reflux and an otherwise aversion to eating altogether.

    Botox injections can relax the muscle that connects the stomach and intestines called the pyloric sphincter making it easier for food to pass through and
    digest properly!

  • 5 Ways to Tighten Skin!

    tighten skinIn the medical aesthetics field, skin tightening is not simply one treatment. Clients think about their goals differently. For some, skin tightening might refer to losing fat: in their stomach, flanks, abs, or anywhere that skin has “filled up” with adipose tissue. This can feel frustrating as we age (fat replaces muscle and any body contour becomes invisible). For others, skin tightening implies muscle tone; we hear clients wishing their core looked toned. Adipose tissue (fat) is one concern, while collagen and elastin are another. These proteins form the basis of tight, taught young-looking skin. We lose more collagen and elastin as we age, leading to wrinkles, sagging skin, and loss of volume. Fine lines are natural, but they don’t have to define your skin forever. Join us as we discuss 5 unique methods of Bellevue skin tightening @ Advanced Skin and Body Solutions…

     

    1) CoolSculpting® Fat Reduction:

    CoolSculpting is a revolutionary, life-changing treatment to tighten skin through body sculpting and fat reduction. It uses cold applicators to freeze (and permanently kill) fat cells in the stomach, arms, back, chest, thighs, chin, and flanks: AKA, love handles. These are common areas that gain fat over time. It’s also non-invasive, you’ll relax during treatment, and ELITE technology provides superior freezing. Are you tired of loose, “squishy” body areas which are no longer skin-tight? CoolSculpting may be your saving grace.

    2) Emsculpt NEO® Muscle Toning:

    For some, fat reduction is only half the battle. What’s the point of shedding your fat “trouble areas” if the muscles underneath need a bit more love? We always recommend healthy exercise (keep your gym membership) but Emsculpt NEO is a key piece of Bellevue skin tightening. It sheds fat through “radiofrequency” while strengthening muscles. Abs, quads, calves, biceps, triceps, and glutes can all benefit from Emsculpt. Part of skin tightening is seeing a toned body underneath your fat, and that’s what Emsculpt achieves.

    3) Evoke® Facial Contouring:

    Evoke Facial Contouring is a newer addition to our Bellevue skin-tightening arsenal. It uses a radiofrequency headset for easy, non-invasive skin tightening of the face or chin. Treatments take ~30 minutes, and it feels like a relaxing stone massage. Your face gets warm while “RF” energy triggers natural collagen and elastin production. These proteins keep skin looking young and tight. While Evoke doesn’t last forever, it is mainly used for maintenance and will keep your face tight and beautiful.

    tighten skin

    4) Morpheus8® Skin Tightening:

    A more in-depth solution to sagging skin is Morpheus8 radiofrequency microneedling. Again, “RF” energy does the job of reducing wrinkles and fine lines through collagen and elastin. Differently, its micro-pin matrix can apply to the full face, around the eyes, neck, abs, back, thighs, and glutes. It also reduces stretch marks and acne scars. Bellevue skin tightening with Morpheus8 at ASBS lasts longer: between 12 to 18 months before returning for maintenance treatments.

    5) Non-Surgical Thread Lift:

    Lastly, our MINT® PDO Non-Surgical Thread lift is a great way to tighten your face without going in for surgery. Our ARNP Aesthetic Injectors use tiny “polydioxanone” threads which insert into sagging skin; they trigger collagen production and gently pull up on the skin. PDO threads can apply to brows, mid-face, jowls, lip lines, chin, neck, chest, or décolleté. We may discuss Botox or dermal fillers before recommending threads, but MINT PDO is a great solution for Bellevue skin tightening.

    So with that: What’s your concern? Is it fat reduction, muscle toning, or sagging skin (loss of collagen) in the face or body? Perhaps it’s loss of volume which requires more than Botox or filler? Whatever it is, we can help. Our expert team of Licensed Master Estheticians and ARNP Injectors are trained to suggest the best solution. Not all aesthetic concerns are the same, so we’ll help you identify them in a free consultation.

    We are happy to assist or answer any questions via (425) 643-5772. You can call or text us.

    Thank you!

  • How Long Does An Evoke Facial Contour Last?

    Ready to learn about a groundbreaking facial contouring treatment that leaves you looking years younger without going under the knife?

    Yes, that’s right, there is a new facial contouring treatment in town and it’s called Evoke.

    No longer do you need to get a surgical procedure to remove fat or excess skin from your neck, cheeks, or jawline; the Evoke facial contouring treatment does it all with no surgery or downtime!

    Now that we’ve led with the good stuff, you’re probably asking yourself the following questions:

    • How does it work?
    • How long does an Evoke facial contour last?
    • Where can I get it?

    Well, we have good news! We’ve got it all laid out here in this article! So keep reading to find out about this innovative facial contouring treatment that erases time and helps boost your confidence!

    What Is Evoke Facial Contour?

    Evoke is a non-surgical, non-invasive, facial contouring treatment that uses radio frequency and volumetric heating to reach the deeper layers of the skin for a more thorough and effective treatment.

    Radio frequency, or RF is an advanced technological therapy that uses low-energy radiation to reach the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate the body’s natural collagen and elastin production.

    When your body is exposed to the RF it triggers collagen and elastin production which is an essential part of the anti-aging process. We start to lose the ability to provide collagen starting as young as our 20s! So having a treatment that stimulates and reactivates this essential skin protein is incredible.

    Evoke

    How Does The Evoke Facial Contour Treatment Work?

    Another cool thing about this treatment is that it’s hands-free! The device is strapped to your face and neck and is considered comfortable, feeling like a hot stone massage. As you relax, the technology and RF therapy work like magic!

    It doesn’t take long, under an hour to complete the entire treatment actually, and while you are being treated you can work, look at your phone or read! It’s a simple, quick and comfortable treatment designed for anyone who’s looking to tone, tighten and contour their face and neck!

     

    How Long Does An Evoke Facial Contour Last?

    The whole treatment sounds too good to be true right? So if it does all that it says, it can’t possibly have long-lasting results, right? Wrong.

    If you’re still questioning how long does an Evoke facial contour last, you’ll be happy to know that once your treatment plan is over you can enjoy the results for YEARS – provided regular maintenance treatments and upkeep!

    Your aesthetic professional will discuss your needs, and goals with you and design a treatment plan that will help you get where you want to be!

  • Evoke Vs. Morpheus 8 – Key Differences

    If you’re looking for a way to tighten your skin, boost collagen production, contour your body and have a more youthful appearance, you have found it with the Morpheus8 and Evoke treatments!

    As we age we lose the ability to “bounce back” when it comes to our skin. Our collagen production slows down and that’s how we get the sagging skin under our eyes, chin, knees and more.

    It’s no secret that this is not something people want, so revolutionary treatments like Morpheus8 and Evoke have come storming through the industry and providing people with the results they’re looking for.

    But how do you know which treatment is right for you? We’ve got it all broken down here in this article! So keep reading if you’re interested in learning the differences between the Evoke vs. Morpheus8 treatments.

    Technology

    When it comes to looking at how the Evoke vs. Morpheus8 treatments work, you’ll find that they are both, in fact, skin tightening and contouring treatments that utilize RF (Radiofrequency), but the way it’s used is vastly different.

    Morpheus8 uses fractional RF energy and harnesses it through a micro-pin matrix which allows the RF to penetrate deeper into the skin triggering collagen and elastin production.

    Read our most recent article about the Benefits Of RF Microneedling!

    Evoke uses RF technology through a hands-free, non-invasive device that the user actually wears around their face or neck. The Evoke technology also uses AI to precisely target and heat the areas of the skin.

    Process

    The biggest difference between the two treatments is possibly the process.

    The Morpheus8 handheld device is controlled by a master esthetician and is able to treat the face, abdomen, neck, glutes, back and thighs.

    Because it uses micro-pins, it is considered a minimally-invasive treatment. It takes anywhere from 30-60 minutes. Some clients say they feel slight discomfort, but a topical numbing treatment is applied to help ease that sensation.

    There is no downtime with the Morpheus8 treatment, but you may feel like you have a slight sunburn for up to 3 days after the treatment. Makeup is not recommended for 48 hours.

    The Evoke technology uses a hands-free device that is strapped onto the user’s face or neck and feels comparable to a hot stone massage. It’s a quick process that lasts about 30 minutes and clients can sit up and use their phones during the treatment. There is no downtime after this treatment.

    It’s important to note that these are both not “one and done” treatments. Depending on your needs your master esthetician will develop a treatment plan to ensure you get the optimal results.

    Results

    Depending on what kind of results you’re looking to achieve will help you decide which treatment is better for you when it comes to Evoke vs. Morpheus8 treatments.

    The Morpheus8 is a more in-depth treatment that works on different parts of the body and helps to not only improve skin laxity and boost collagen production, it also helps to:

    • Smooth wrinkles and stretch marks
    • Correct acne scars
    • Increase the volume of the face
    • Improve skin texture

    The Evoke treatment is for people who have less severe sagging and wrinkled skin who are looking for a quick way to re-contour their face and bring back their youthful look!

    Want To Know More About The Differences Between The Evoke Vs. Morpheus8 Treatments? See Advanced Skin And Body Solutions.

    If you’re looking for a skin tightening and contouring treatment that leaves you feeling youthful and confident, these treatments are for you! Let our master estheticians at our Bellevue medspa help you find the perfect treatment plan for your needs.

    We offer a variety of non-surgical aesthetic, body-sculpting and cosmetic treatments to help you look and feel your best.

  • 5 Benefits Of RF Microneedling You Should Know

    Let’s talk about skincare. Skincare has come a long way since the first days of Noxzema and Ponds cold cream

    Because of its relationship to science and technology, we have been given some of the best and most revolutionary skincare treatments that bring incredible results.

    One of those treatments is RF Microneedling. 

    What is RF Microneedling?

    RF Microneedling is different than regular Microneedling one step further by introducing radio frequency into the needles. 

    The radio frequency technology is emitted through the needles to penetrate deeper layers of the skin which triggers the skin’s natural healing process and encourages rejuvenation! 

    It’s an FDA-approved treatment and uses the most microscopic needles (300 microns) so that it is actually considered a gentle, stimulating, and minimally invasive treatment! 

    Benefits of RF Microneedling

    There are numerous benefits to this treatment and it’s great for all skin types and different skin conditions. As providers of this treatment here at Advanced Skin & Body Solutions, we’ve seen firsthand the amazing results our clients have had from getting this treatment. 

    benefits of RF Microneedling

    Customizable

    Nobody is the same, and neither is their skin. So why should skincare be the same? RF Microneedling is completely customizable to your needs. It has the ability to penetrate 3 layers of skin if necessary to tackle and minimize deeper scarring or wrinkles. 

    We are able to set the technology to what we believe benefits your skin the most. 

    Acne Scar Reducing

    Those who have struggled with acne may have the remains of acne scarring left behind. Acne scarring changes the skin and can leave you with uneven skin tone and texture. The RF Microneedling treatment is able to penetrate through the deep scarring and break it up to stimulate the skin’s natural healing and encourage collagen reproduction. 

    Collagen Boosting

    Speaking of collagen, one of the benefits of RF Microneedling is the ability to boost collagen production. When the microscopic tears are made in the skin it stimulates the body’s natural healing process. Part of that process is collagen reproduction. Collagen is what keeps our skin looking fresh and youthful. 

    So RF Microneedling is not only a healing treatment it’s an anti-aging treatment as well!  

    Wrinkle Reducing

    Because of the encouragement of collagen production during the treatment, you’ll see a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles in the skin. The energy emitted through the needles goes around the needles as well to provide a more stimulating treatment. Deeper wrinkles are also able to be minimized since it penetrates 3 layers of skin (crepey, dermal, and adipose).

  • Who Really NEEDS Peels?

    At Advanced Skin and Body Solutions, there are many categories and reasons why someone might need a chemical peel. This would be to achieve their most desirable appearance and skin tone. You can always improve your skin cleansing regimen to avoid some issues (or reduce their severity), but every few months, a peel is the best idea you can have…

    Our Master Estheticians are well-versed in many skin conditions and treatments. Let us know if you fall into any of these categories (BELOW) for folks who could really use skin peels in Bellevue:

    1) Dead Skin

    Skin looking dull? Your skin cells recycle regularly. The top layer of skin cells is often dead, and covers new skin cell growth. If this is making your skin appear “dull”, a chemical peel can help turn-over the cycle, bringing new skin to the surface. You’ll look “brighter” and more refreshed!

    2) Fine Lines & Wrinkles

    Fine lines and wrinkles are the norm, not the exception when it comes to aging skin. These lines sink in further as we lose our skin’s natural supply of collagen and elastin proteins (which help keep skin taut). Our skin peels in Bellevue can help restore these vital proteins. When we apply peels to your face, it triggers a process called “neocollagenesis” (remodeling), AKA, new collagen forms. It makes your skin look and truly feel younger.

    3) Uneven Tone & Texture

    Does your skin seem discolored, uneven, “blotchy” or rough? Skin tone and texture can suffer when dead cells build up on the surface. It can even be bumpy to the touch. Aside from aging, sun exposure accelerates this process. Chemical peels can help smooth and correct these problems with new skin cell growth.

    4) Hyperpigmentation

    Your skin can be impacted by sun damage, hormones, injuries or even pollution. These can lead to an uneven skin tone. “Melasma” is a common form of pigmentation, appearing as brown or tan freckles and blotches. Skin peels erase the affected layer so you can start fresh with clear skin!

    5) Acne

    If you have chronic acne, dead skin may be making it much worse. When dead cells build up on the surface, they clog pores which leads to acne. Our peels in Bellevue remove that top skin cell layer, while also reducing excess oils that lead to breakouts. It’s a “one-two punch” to help resolve any chronic acne.

    6) Scarring

    Does your face have any scars or defects from a past injury? Any acne scarring from your teenage years? These can feel troublesome and difficult to correct. But again, chemical peels can help boost skin-elasticity; more taut and elastic skin often fills in these scars. Proper post-care and multiple peels can correct facial scarring for good. Your skin can really change with the proper regimen…

    Unsure of which conditions apply to you?
