So, it’s no surprise that so many men and women are seeking the perfect pout via lip injections and fillers. If you are considering lip filler, we have everything you need to know at your fingertips at Laser of Arlington.

So what is Lip Augmentation?

Lip augmentation is an injectable procedure that improves lip size, shape, and contours with dermal fillers. Patients often seek lip augmentation to achieve soft, full lips with increased definition and volume.

What Can Patients Expect from Lip Augmentation in Arlington?

Lip augmentation is performed in our relaxing and state of the art office and takes approximately 30 minutes. Prior to the procedure, the treatment area will be numbed with a topical or local anesthetic to ensure total comfort Then, an ultra-thin needle is used to administer lip filler as a series of precisely-placed injections. The injector may manually shape the product throughout the process to ensure the perfect application and shape. Post-treatment, patients may also experience minor and temporary bruising and swelling. Afterwards, they are free to go about their day with no downtime! Lip augmentation results are immediate and will continue to improve as the healing process takes place.

Which Fillers Can Be Used for Lip Augmentation?

Restylane and Juvederm are two of the most popular fillers for this procedure.They are both comprised of hyaluronic acid, which is a substance that’s naturally produced by the body and, therefore, doesn’t require allergy testing. Hyaluronic acid is also extremely hydrophilic and can hold up to 1000 its weight in water. As a result, HA fillers like Restylane and Juvederm provide instant volumizing and hydrating effects, for irresistibly soft and smooth lips.

How Long Do Results Last?

Our patients can enjoy that amazing volume and definition for 6 to 12 months, depending on the product used during the procedure. If you’re interested in learning more about our Lip Augmentation at Laser of Arlington, give our office a call today to schedule a consultation with one of our highly skilled and talented injectors. You won’t regret it!

CoolSculpting isn’t just for beach bodies, it can be for fitting into those cute sweater dresses or leggings for fall and we want you to feel just as great in your cool weather outfits as you did on the beach in the summer! The CoolSculpting procedure at Laser of Arlington eliminates those stubborn inches safely and effectively, without surgery or downtime. This state of the art fat reduction treatment is the only FDA-cleared procedure to use controlled cooling to safely target and eliminate fat that has been resistant to diet and exercise.

CoolSculpting results are proven, noticeable, and lasting, so you’ll look and feel great from every angle in every outfit! So how do we “freeze away fat”? It comes down to science. Fat cells freeze at higher temperatures than surrounding tissues. CoolSculpting technology safely delivers precisely controlled cooling to gently and effectively target the fat cells underneath the skin. The treated fat cells are crystallized and then die.

Over time, your body naturally processes the fat and does away with the dead cells, leaving a more sculpted you! Reshaping your body is possible! We’ll help you develop a customized CoolSculpting treatment plan that addresses your unique concerns and trouble areas. Additional sessions may further enhance your results as well and your individualized treatment plan will be tailored to your body, your goals, and your budget.

If you’ve wondered about body contouring options and are done putting it off, schedule your free consultation with us and let’s get you feeling your best this fall!

Skin Care

5 Ways to Fight Skin Discoloration After a Summer of Fun

Post author By rsadminloa
Post date September 20, 2021

Skin discoloration is a common concern among many women and men and we know that after a summer in the sun, this can lead to issues with the surface of your skin, specifically dark spots. The good news is that there are a number of dark spot treatments in Northern VA that can diminish hyperpigmentation and restore a clear, even complexion with little to no down time!

Here are five options to consider, depending on the depth, pigmentation, and how long you’ve had your dark spots.

1. Hydroquinone

For women and men considering dark spot treatments, hydroquinone is often recommended as the first line of defense. It is a topical cream that contains two-to-four percent of hydroquinone and may be purchased over-the-counter or via a prescription from your dermatologist. Hydroquinone is applied to the skin in small amounts and diminishes dark spots by blocking an enzyme called tyrosinase. Results can be seen in as little as two weeks, but it usually takes 8 to 12 weeks for truly noticeable improvement. (Pro-tip ask about our customized skin care options)

2. Lasers

Lasers are an extremely effective option for the treatment of hyperpigmentation and dark spots and one of our most preferred methods They deliver focused beams of light, which are attracted to melanin and able to break down dark spots into small particles that can then be absorbed into the skin. IPL is also among the most-popular dark spot treatments in NoVA. It applies pulses of broad-spectrum light to filter out and neutralize discoloration in the skin.

Both lasers and IPL are noninvasive and nonsurgical and require little to no downtime which makes them a favorite.

3. Microneedling

Microneedling is an in-office treatment that can correct a variety of cosmetic concerns including dark spots. It utilizes ultra-thin needles to make tiny holes in the skin which stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin. Topical products are often used afterwards to enhance microneedling effects

4. Chemical Peels

Chemical peels target dark spots with a different mechanism of action than lasers, IPL, and microneedling. They use medical-grade acid solutions to remove the outermost layer of skin and promote cellular renewal, reducing, or even completely removing, the appearance of dark spots.

5. Microdermabrasion

If you are seeking a more gentle dark spot treatment, microdermabrasion could be an excellent option. This procedure exfoliates dead skin cells and other skin debris using particles, of varying coarseness, and a vacuum mechanism. Microdermabrasion is safe for all skin types, has zero recovery, and is ideal for milder hyperpigmentation. This is such a gentle alternative that there is no downtime and you’re able to resume like normal once the procedure is complete.

If you are looking for dark spot treatments in Northern VA, please call our office today to schedule a comprehensive consultation with one of our highly skilled and talented providers and we will make sure you leave our office glowing and refreshed.
