Tackling issues like rough texture, acne scars, fine lines and loss of elasticity can be tricky. But with the right tools and treatments, you can help your clients achieve smoother, healthier skin over the course of a few treatments.
Here’s a look at some common texture issues and the cutting-edge devices that can help restore skin’s smoothness and bounce.
Active Acne and Acne Scarring: Causes and Solutions
What causes acne and scarring?
Acne stems from several factors, including excess oil, clogged pores, bacteria, and inflammation. Hormonal changes and stress can also make breakouts worse. After acne clears, it can leave behind scars – those pitted, raised, or discoloured spots – requiring targeted treatments.
Top devices: Stellar M22 & Picolo Premium
The combination of IPL and laser technology offers powerful results for both active acne and scarring.
This device uses IPL to reduce inflammation, kill acne-causing bacteria, and calm the skin. It also helps lighten post-acne hyperpigmentation, improving overall skin tone.
Using a true picosecond laser, Picolo Premium breaks down scar tissue and boosts collagen production to smooth acne scars and even out texture. It’s also effective for pigmentation issues.
Treatment plan
A treatment plan combining the Stellar M22, and Picolo Premium devices is highly effective for clients dealing with both active acne and scarring. The Stellar M22 can be used first to address breakouts and redness, followed by the Picolo Premium to treat residual scarring. Multiple sessions are often needed, with maintenance treatments to keep acne under control and progressively improve skin texture.
Fine Lines: Causes and Solutions
What causes fine lines?
Fine lines are a natural early sign of aging, triggered by the breakdown of collagen and elastin in the skin. As these proteins decline, the skin loses firmness and begins to crease. Environmental factors like sun exposure speed up the process.
Top devices: Sylfirm X & Picolo Premium
To reduce fine lines, treatments that stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture are key.
This RF microneedling device stimulates collagen production deep within the skin, tightening and smoothing fine lines. Its dual-wave technology allows for customizable treatments that deliver results.
For clients with more stubborn fine lines, the Picolo Premium laser offers an excellent solution. Its ability to target deeper layers of the skin helps to break down damaged tissue and encourage collagen regeneration, leading to smoother, younger-looking skin.
Treatment plan
Incorporating Sylfirm X and Picolo Premium for treating superficial and deeper fine lines creates a potent combination. Sylfirm X utilises radiofrequency and microneedling to interact with tissues differently, while Picolo harnesses picosecond power to improve the skin’s overall appearance. Regular treatments offer cumulative improvements, with smoother, younger-looking skin as the result.
Loss of Elasticity: Causes and Solutions
What Causes Loss of Elasticity?
Loss of elasticity happens naturally with age as collagen and elastin production slows. This leads to sagging and skin laxity, especially in areas like the jawline and cheeks. External factors like sun exposure and smoking can make it worse.
Top devices: Sylfirm X & Ultra Lift HIFU Evo
To tackle sagging skin and restore elasticity, a combination of RF microneedling and High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) can work wonders.
The Ultra Lift HIFU Evo uses ultrasound energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin, triggering a natural healing response that boosts collagen and elastin production. This non-invasive treatment is perfect for clients looking to lift and tighten the skin, particularly around the jawline, cheeks, and forehead, without the need for surgery.
Sylfirm X’s microneedling with radiofrequency energy stimulates deep collagen production, helping to firm and tighten sagging skin. It’s particularly effective for mild to moderate laxity and can be used on various areas of the face and neck for overall rejuvenation.
Treatment plan
For clients experiencing loss of elasticity, a combination of SYLFIRM X and Ultra Lift HIFU Evo can provide impressive lifting and firming effects. The SYLFIRM X treatment will help to restore collagen levels in the skin, while the HIFU Evo delivers focused ultrasound energy to deeper layers, providing a more pronounced lifting effect. This treatment combo is ideal for non-surgical skin tightening.
Tips for prevention and management
To help your clients maintain their results and improve skin texture over time, here are some valuable tips to share with them:
Sun Protection
Remind your clients to apply broad-spectrum sunscreen every day to protect their skin from UV damage, which can worsen texture issues like fine lines and pigmentation.
Moisturise and Hydrate
Encourage clients to keep their skin well-hydrated with a quality moisturiser, as hydrated skin is more resilient and better able to recover from treatments.
OptiGlow LED Therapy
Offering OptiGlow LED as an add-on treatment can help prolong results by stimulating collagen, calming inflammation, and promoting overall skin health. Regular LED sessions are a great way to boost treatment outcomes and keep skin looking its best.
Maintain a Consistent Skincare Routine
Suggest that clients adopt a skincare routine that includes gentle exfoliation, antioxidants, and products that support collagen production to maintain a smoother texture.
Avoid Harsh Products
Advise clients to stay away from overly harsh skincare products that can strip the skin of moisture and aggravate texture issues. Gentle, nourishing products are the way to go.
Refresh your treatment offerings
Advanced devices like Stellar M22, Picolo Premium, Sylfirm X, and Ultra Lift HIFU Evo can offer powerful, non-invasive treatments that effectively address active acne, scarring, fine lines, and sagging skin. Try them in your own clinic risk-free with a flexible Laseraid subscription.
