3 Treatments for Glowing Skin
Your skin is the largest organ in your body and takes a lot of wear and tear through the years. Sun exposure, smoking, and other lifestyle habits affect how your skin ages, and you may see wrinkles and dull skin earlier than you thought.
Looking at dull, worn-out skin day after day can be frustrating, especially when you've had a beautiful complexion in the past. But you don't have to continue to live with unhealthy skin — we offer treatments that can help.
At Flushing Medical Spa, Dr. QiLi Li and her team provide various medspa and aesthetic skin treatments to people in Queens, New York. Dr. Li provides multiple services, such as facial rejuvenation, radiofrequency microneedling, and laser treatments to freshen your skin and give you a red carpet glow.
Causes of dull or aged skin
When you look in the mirror, are you missing the stunning complexion you used to see? If so, you're not alone. Many people experience a change in their skin, texture, and tone throughout their lives.
If your skin isn't looking its best, there could be many reasons. A few of the factors that play into dull, dry, or worn skin include:
Smoking
Smoking affects your body in many ways, especially regarding your skin. The smoke and chemicals from cigarettes age and dry out your skin, leaving a wrinkled, dry complexion that lacks a healthy glow.
Sun exposure
Now that summer's here, it's tempting to go out and bake in the sun for the coveted brown tan. But that's not the best idea. The sun's harmful UV rays penetrate your skin, causing excess melanin production as a defense, which gives you a tan.
Dehydration
Your skin requires moisture to look its best, so if you don’t drink enough liquids or water, you may notice your skin doesn't glow as it should.
Dead skin cells
Exfoliating is necessary for any skin care routine because it eliminates the dead skin cells that build up over time. If you don't care for your skin, these dead cells multiply, causing a worn and aged complexion.
Moisturizing your skin regularly is also vital to a healthy glow. Without moisturizer, your skin dries, leading to a dull or blotchy appearance.
Treatments for healthy skin
You don't have to look in the mirror daily and resent your skin — plenty of options exist. At Flushing Medical Spa, Dr. Li provides various treatments to give you a Hollywood complexion and a glow you can't surpass.
Our medspa offers various procedures that restore your skin's natural beauty and prevent further dulling or aging with proper care. Three of the principal treatments we offer are:
1. Agnes RF microneedling
Dr. Li provides Agnes RF microneedling therapy to give you the glowing skin you dream of. This treatment combines the effectiveness of microneedling with the success of radiofrequency energy to offer stunning results in as little as 30 minutes.
During the procedure, Dr. Li uses a special device that utilizes ultrafine, tiny needles and radiofrequency energy. After she numbs your skin, she guides the Agnes device over it, creating tiny tears that stimulate the healing process.
The radiofrequency energy heats the cells, telling your body to produce more collagen and elastin to repair the damage.
2. Laser Genesis
The Laser Genesis procedure is a revolutionary form of laser therapy that results in skin like the Hollywood stars. During the procedure, Dr. Li guides a laser over specific areas of your skin to warm the cells and promote cellular turnover.
The laser also stimulates collagen and elastin production, the building blocks of healthy, glowing, and elastic skin. The results of the Laser Genesis treatment are unrivaled, with reduced wrinkles, an even skin tone, and a healthy and smooth texture.
3. IPL Limelight facial
If you're looking for a noninvasive treatment option, the IPL Limelight Facial from Cutera® is the way to go. It's nearly painless and provides remarkable results after the first treatment.
IPL stands for intense pulsed light that targets your skin's texture and tone. It's highly effective for signs of sun damage, such as redness, hyperpigmentation, and sunspots.
After your treatment, Dr. Li discusses instructions for skin care over the next few weeks to months. It's essential to continue taking good care of your skin after these treatments to keep your face glowing and beautiful.
You can't stop the aging process, so it's crucial to see Dr. Li often to keep up with the best treatment for your skin and needs.
