What are the odds of a single treatment giving you the optimal results you deserve? Not very high (unless you are one of the younger clients at VIDA). Most treatments are designed to address a very specific issue, and with other 3,000 unique skin conditions, you are probably struggling with more than one. A consultation is the perfect place to start putting together a customized skin care regimen under the guidance of experts. Every person is unique, so there is no one-size-fits-all treatment plan. However, let’s explore some of the most popular pairings. You might discover one of these couples is the perfect match for you.
Botox and fillers go together like peanut butter and jelly because they address two of the most common signs of aging: lines/wrinkles and lost volume. Plus, you can undergo both of these treatments during the same appointment. Botox, or any neurotoxin (like its contemporary, Dysport) both stops and prevents wrinkles by temporarily “freezing” muscles causing most wrinkles. Depending on the location site and how many units are administered, results last anywhere from 3 – 6 months on average.
Botox is also being increasingly used as a preventative measure by younger clients who want to “train” muscles that cause wrinkles to be weaker. In turn, this means wrinkles will not appear as quickly or as deeply. Of course, Botox has long been used for a myriad of other purposes as well, such as temporarily stopping migraines and excessive sweating. You can even use Botox for a “lip flip” to reduce a gummy smile.
Dermal Filler Solutions
Wrinkles are just one sign of aging—we also lose a lot of “good fat,” especially in our face and the tops of our hands, as we get older. Dermal fillers give that volume back or help us achieve volume where it never was. Lip fillers remain one of the most popular types of fillers, and everyone does lose lip volume with age. However, dermal fillers can also be placed in the cheeks to restore volume or along the jawline for a sharper, more youthful look.
Fillers at the temples are in high demand, and there are even some fillers that can be injected into the tops of the hands to reduce that “witchy,” vein-y appearance. Most fillers are made of synthetic hyaluronic acid for immediate results. However, there are some fillers that work via collagen induction therapy for a slower reveal that lasts a little longer (up to two years in some cases).
Light Peels and Dermaplaning
A superficial chemical peel is a great refresher that can remove light lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and dull skin with poor texture. However, it can be tough for a chemical peel to do its best job when there is peach fuzz and dead skin cells in the way. Prepping a chemical peel with Dermaplaning is a great way to get the best results and baby smooth skin.
Dermaplaning requires the use of a specialized scalpel that exfoliates the top layer of skin while removing fuzz and debris (including dead skin cells). Many people opt for monthly Dermaplaning treatments to get that incredible smoothness, but pairing it with a light peel takes the results of both treatments to the next level.
Microneedling and DiamondGlow
Microneedling has been a fan favorite for decades. It works by creating thousands of invisible “microchannels” in the skin, which tells the body to kick-start collagen production at the “trauma” site. However, why not take advantage of those little channels? Follow up your microneedling with DiamondGlow for the ultimate treat.
DiamondGlow is a 3-step process that simultaneously exfoliates, extracts, and infuses the skin with medical-grade SkinMedica topicals. Exfoliating the skin with a crushed diamond tip while extracting debris from pores complement microneedling. However, it’s that ability to allow topicals to penetrate deeper into the skin that can really make microneedling stand apart. Of course, DiamondGlow is a fantastic treatment (a 3-in-1 treatment to be exact) by itself, but the channels in the skin left by microneedling allow the topicals to reach deeper than ever.
These are just a few examples of how pairing treatments can help you get even better results faster. Contact VIDA today for your customized solutions. Give us a call or, for a faster response, complete the online form right now.
