Posted on by Y. Anthony Nakamura

Are you looking for a non-surgical solution for your dull or aging complexion? If so, we have a large selection of med spa treatments available at Accent On You in Arlington, TX to help you look and feel your best! Read on to learn more about these treatments and how they can benefit you.

Facials and Chemical Peels

When you look in the mirror, are you pleased with your complexion? If your answer is “no”, then it may be time to try out a facial or a chemical peel. At our office, the Accent On You Signature Facial is our most popular choice, with a variety of specialized cleansers, masques, vitamins, steam, and more to help address your skin needs. We also perform dermaplaning and extractions to remove any dead skin cells, unwanted peach fuzz, and clogged pores for a radiant complexion.

Individuals who are particularly unhappy with the appearance of sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, or a dull complexion can benefit from a chemical peel. We offer a selection of chemical peels to address your skin goals, including TCA Peels to treat sun damaged skin, and MicroPeels to address fine lines and wrinkles, dullness, acne breakouts, and more.

Injectable Treatments

Injectable treatments are an effective solution to many signs of aging such as lines and wrinkles, loss of facial volume, and thinning lips. At Accent On You, we offer many different injectable treatment options to combat unwanted signs of aging. Our selection includes:

  • Juvéderm®: This hyaluronic acid-based filler is injected under the skin to smooth out lines and wrinkles and folds in the midface.  It can also be used to restore lost volume in the midface and augment the lips. Depending on the treatment area, results can last for one year.
  • Restylane®: Restylane® is also a hyaluronic acid filler that is formulated to restore volume in the nasolabial area as well as add fullness to the lips. Results can last up to six months.
  • Restylane® Silk: This formula was created specifically for sensitive areas such as the undereye troughs, acne scarring, and cheek depressions. It can also be used to augment the lips.
  • Botox®: Botox® is a neuromodulator and works by temporary relaxing the treated muscles so that they cannot contract and cause lines to form. The most common areas treated with Botox® include the forehead, crow’s feet, and frown lines. Results can last from 3-6 months.
  • Dysport®: Dysport® is also a neuromodulator and works similarly to Botox®. Results can last 3-6 months.
  • Voluma®: Voluma® is a dermal filler in the Juvéderm® family that can effectively restore age-related volume loss in areas like the cheeks while also augmenting the lips. Results can last up to two years depending on the area treated.
  • AquaGold® Fine Touch™: This treatment creates controlled wounds in the skin to kickstart the collagen response while also delivering injectable treatments into the deeper layers of the skin for more complete results.

Microneedling

Microneedling is a treatment performed to address lines and wrinkles, scars, sun damage, and other aging concerns. During treatment, a special tool equipped with many small needles will be used to create micro-wounds in the skin. This will stimulate collagen production to help soften signs of aging and create a radiant complexion.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion works by promoting new cells to regenerate quickly, resulting in firmer, more toned, and youthful-looking skin. This procedure can address wrinkles, stretch marks, uneven skin tone, scarring, hyperpigmentation, and more. During treatment, a diamond-tip microdermabrasion wand will be used to exfoliate the top layer of dead skin. Specific skin care products will then be applied to protect your skin.

DiamondGlow

DiamondGlow treatments utilize microdermabrasion using a diamond-tip applicator to gently remove dead, dull skin cells. Following this step, SkinMedica serums are applied. The newly-exfoliated skin allows for deeper and more effective absorption of these serums and improved hydration and other key benefits.

Exploring the Benefits of Microneedling with MicroPen

Posted on by Y. Anthony Nakamura

MicroPen is a new type of microneedling device that has been designed to allow for more personalized treatment. With this tool, you can choose from 3 different depths for your treatment: superfine, medium, and superfirm. This means that you can customize your med spa experience to suit your needs and preferences. The benefits of microneedling are vast, but we will explore them in-depth here.

1) Reduces the Appearance of Fine Lines and Wrinkles

One of the main benefits of microneedling is its ability to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The many small needles contained in the microneedling device cause a controlled injury to the skin, which triggers the body’s natural healing response. This response causes new collagen production, which helps to fill in and smooth out these lines and wrinkles.

MicroPen is an excellent option for those looking for a personalized treatment to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The superfine needles can provide a more superficial treatment, while the superfirm needles can provide a more intense treatment.

2) Reduces the Appearance of Scars

Microneedling is also effective in reducing the appearance of scars. The needles penetrate the scar tissue and help to break down collagen fibers, which triggers a healing response and causes new collagen production. Over time, this can help to reduce and soften the appearance of unwanted scars.

3) Skin Tightening

With proper care, microneedling can be effective in skin tightening. The needles stimulate collagen production to help the skin feel tighter and smoother. Over time this will lead to an overall improvement of the elasticity of your skin which reduces sagging or skin laxity. MicroPen is a great device for improving the appearance of aging hands because it can help to tighten the skin and reduce wrinkles on the hands as well.

4) Reduces Pore Size

One of the other benefits of microneedling is its ability to reduce pore size. The needles cause micro-trauma to the pores, which trigger a healing response. This response causes new collagen production and helps to close and tighten the pores. If you are unhappy with the appearance of your large pores, MicroPen is an excellent treatment option.

5) Decreases Oil Production

Another benefit of microneedling is its ability to decrease oil production. It stimulates collagen production, which helps reduce your skin’s oil levels and is great for acne-prone skin types. Microneedling helps to balance out your skin’s oil production so that there will be less excess oil on the surface of your skin which leads to congested pores.

6) Improves Skin Tone and Texture

Microneedling can also help to improve skin tone and texture. The tiny needles cause trauma to the surface of the skin, which triggers a healing response. This response stimulates new collagen production and helps to even out skin tone and reduce pigmentation. It can also help to smooth out rough textures and give you a more radiant complexion. MicroPen is great for those who are looking for an overall improvement in the appearance of their skin.

In conclusion, microneedling is a great treatment option for those looking to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, scars, skin elasticity, pore size, and oil production. With MicroPen, you can customize your experience to suit your needs and achieve optimal results.
