Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that causes redness and visible blood vessels in the face. IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) / DyeVL treatments offer a non-invasive solution, targeting the deeper layers of the skin without harming the surface. The light energy is absorbed by the dilated vessels, causing them to shrink and, over time, reduce the redness and flushing associated with Rosacea. Patients often report not just a significant reduction in redness but also an improvement in skin texture and pore size.
Vascular lesions, including spider veins and port-wine stains, can be effectively treated with IPL/DyeVL technology. This method uses precise light wavelengths to target and collapse the unwanted vessels, allowing them to be naturally reabsorbed by the body. The result is clearer, more even-toned skin. Treatments are quick, with minimal downtime, making it a preferred option for patients seeking a non-surgical approach to diminish the appearance of vascular lesions.
Pigmented lesions like sun spots, age spots, and melasma present a common aesthetic concern. IPL/DyeVL treatments can effectively target the melanin within these lesions, breaking down the pigment without damaging the surrounding skin. Over a series of sessions, these spots gradually fade, revealing a more uniform complexion. This technique offers a safe and effective alternative to more invasive procedures, with patients enjoying a significant improvement in their skin's appearance.
Sun damage can manifest in various forms, including fine lines, wrinkles, rough texture, and uneven pigmentation. IPL/DyeVL treatments work by prompting the skin's natural healing process, stimulating collagen production and eliminating damaged cells. This rejuvenating effect not only addresses the visual signs of sun damage but also promotes healthier, more resilient skin. With a course of treatments, patients can expect to see a notable reduction in sun damage, resulting in a smoother, younger-looking complexion.
Angiomas, benign tumors formed by an overgrowth of capillaries, can be cosmetically concerning and, at times, uncomfortable. The precise application of IPL/DyeVL light targets the excess capillaries making up the angioma, causing them to collapse and fade. This non-invasive method provides an effective solution for angiomas, offering a clear improvement without the need for surgery. Patients can achieve a more uniform skin tone with minimal discomfort and downtime.
Dysport is an injectable wrinkle relaxer that smoothes dynamic wrinkles and lines throughout your face, like glabellar lines between the brows. Much like other types of wrinkle relaxer injectables, Dysport is composed of a purified strain of botulinum toxin type A to temporarily relax or paralyze particular muscle groups in the facial area. When these regions are relaxed, the common movements that cause dynamic lines are limited and the skin attached to the muscle is tightened. This enables you to frown or smile frequently without leading to dynamic wrinkles. It also delivers refreshed outcomes that don't make you look "overdone." At Spa Asteria, we are thrilled to offer Dysport injections to help Park City, UT area patients appear refreshed and youthful.
Dysport injectables are administered in one of our treatment rooms following your exam and discussion with Vanessa M. Hart, M.D. The procedure takes around 15 – 30 minutes. A numbing gel is typically unnecessary because the injections involve using a fine-gauge needle that causes very little discomfort, but the gel can be applied upon request. After the treatment region has been sterilized, several Dysport injections will be placed along the forehead, followed by an ice pack to lessen bruising and inflammation. After your treatment at Spa Asteria, you may resume your day-to-day tasks, but you should try to avoid heavy activities for about a full day. Results are commonly seen in 1 – 3 days as the appearance of dynamic wrinkles decreases to create a smoother, rejuvenated look.
Dysport typically lasts up to four months, however this may vary depending on the individual. It is recommended to receive Dysport injections every three to four months in order to maintain desired results.
Some slight swelling, bruising, and redness at the injection sites may occur, but these effects don't last long. We recommend avoiding rigorous physical activity and touching the treatment sites for the next day or so. After a few days, you may begin to notice results. BOTOX's smoothing effects may last up to four months. We'll consult with you about how often you should schedule follow-up injections.
