Fall is not only the most beautiful time of year here in New England, a time when the earth is showing us the ultimate beauty in rejuvenation, it is also the perfect time for our own facial rejuvenation due to cooler temperatures and thus a more comfortable environment for skin treatments like laser resurfacing which can cause temporary redness, sensitivity, and/or peeling. Fall is a perfect time to explore various laser treatments that can help us achieve a renewed and rejuvenated appearance and is thus the opportune time to consider CO2 (carbon dioxide), IPL (intense pulsed light), Morpheus, and Ellacor treatments, as they can address a wide range of skin conditions and provide remarkable results with minimal downtime right here at The Spiegel Center in Newton.
To date, the golden standard in skin resurfacing and rejuvenation has been the CO2 laser treatment which is a popular Fall treatment due to its exceptional ability to improve the overall texture and tone of the skin. This treatment uses fractional laser technology to remove damaged skin and stimulate collagen production, resulting in a smoother and more youthful complexion. CO2 laser treatments effectively target acne scars, wrinkles, sun damage, and age spots, giving the skin a fresh start as we transition into fall. However, CO2 has a long recovery. And thus, Dr. Spiegel often recommends this procedure as a supplement to facelift and or neck lift procedures since those also require a long recovery time. Dr. Spiegel also does not recommend CO2 laser for darker skin types, as CO2 should only be used with light skin of Fitzgerald I-III.
Another remarkable laser treatment option at The Spiegel Center that has very little recovery time is Intense-pulsed-light (IPL), a non-invasive procedure that uses powerful pulses of light to address multiple skin concerns. IPL can successfully treat conditions such as hyperpigmentation, rosacea, redness, and sunspots. As the sun's intensity diminishes during the fall season, it becomes an ideal time to undergo this treatment, as the treatment requires minimal sun exposure post-treatment and reduces the risk of sun damage to the skin. Furthermore, IPL will repair any summer damage and create a protective barrier against the drying effects of winter. By addressing your skin concerns at The Spiegel Center in the fall, you can ensure your skin remains healthy and resilient throughout the colder season.
Morpheus has gained immense popularity in recent years because it works! This popular procedure at The Spiegel Center uses advanced fractional radiofrequency microneedling treatment that can effectively enhance skin texture, reduce wrinkles, and tighten loose skin. This treatment stimulates collagen and elastin production, resulting in a firmer and more youthful-looking appearance. Morpheus combines the power of radiofrequency energy with proprietary peptides to target under-eye bags, dark circles, and fine lines, which are often the result of aging and stress. As we transition into fall, Morpheus can offer significant improvements in skin quality without the risk of prolonged sun exposure, allowing the skin to heal properly. Here at The Spiegel Center, we’ve combined the IPL and Morpheus together to provide our patients with the ultimate Tight & Bright skin rejuvenation.
Lastly, Ellacor treatment at The Spiegel Center uses proprietary technology that works to remove excess skin in tiny aliquots, so that the skin tightens while healing without any scar formation. This non-surgical treatment stimulates collagen production, reduces puffiness, and improves the overall appearance of the midface area like no other treatment before. Fall is the perfect time to consider Ellacor, as the cooler weather encourages us to focus on rejuvenating our entire facial appearance, including delicate areas like the under-eye region and around the mouth, in particular the nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and jowls.
In conclusion, as we embrace the transition from summer to fall, facial rejuvenation treatments such as CO2, IPL, Morpheus, and Ellacor can offer exceptional results for individuals seeking to revitalize their skin at The Spiegel Center. Whether looking to improve texture, target specific concerns, or enhance overall skin quality, these treatments provide effective solutions with minimal downtime. Embrace the autumn season as an opportunity to prioritize self-care and consider laser treatments as a way to welcome the upcoming months with radiant and refreshed skin.
