Medical and Laser Anti-Aging Clinic
The way you look and feel goes a long way towards enjoying your life and accomplishing what you want to achieve from it. Peak Health Group is an anti-aging medical and laser clinic that helps you look and feel your best.
IPL Photo Facial
An IPL photofacial uses intense pulsed light (IPL) to lighten dark pigment on your skin. The doctor uses a special tool that emits light in multiple wavelengths that target dark pigment below the skin’s surface. The light converts to heat energy and destroys cells that produce too much melanin in your skin.
The IPL draws the cells that produce dark pigment through the outer layer of the skin and disperses it. The dark spots develop a coffee-ground-like texture over time before flaking. The end result is radiant, more evenly pigmented skin.
An IPL photofacial can be used on nearly any area of the face and body. It also works on unsightly spider veins in the ankles or anywhere else they occur. Most people require three to five treatments about four weeks apart. You can expect to see optimal results about three months after your final treatment.
Everyone isn’t a good candidate for IPL photofacial treatments, including those with a tan or melasma. Contact Peak Health Group to schedule a consultation at our medical and laser anti-aging clinic to find the best solution for you.
IPL Hair Removal
IPL hair removal uses the same type of pulsed light used in IPL photofacial treatments. The primary difference between this method and laser hair removal is the type of light used. Both methods target melanin in the hair follicle and cause damage to the root. Both will permanently remove hair after multiple treatments. However, laser treatment uses higher energy and is more selective, focusing only on the hair follicle and not the surrounding skin.
The potential side effects of IPL hair removal include slight tenderness and redness. IPL treatment is safe for hair removal when used on people with the right skin tones and who don’t have certain skin conditions. It’s fast, causes minimal discomfort, and doesn’t cause ingrown hairs.
CO2 Resurfacing
As we age, our skin loses collagen and begins to show the signs of aging and damage done over the years. CO2 resurfacing helps minimize fine lines and wrinkles while also improving acne scars and textural irregularities.
We always use the most advanced anti-aging treatments at Peak Health Group anti-aging medical and laser clinic. Fractionated CO2 is one of our latest offerings to help our clients turn back the hands of time.
CO2 skin resurfacing is an aggressive technique that provides fast results. Traditional resurfacing methods work by heating and removing the complete surface of the skin. This requires longer recovery time.
Fractional technology covers the area in a grid of tiny dots. The tissue between these areas isn’t injured, so the healing process is much shorter. The light energy produced by the CO2 reaches deep into the tissue. This allows it to improve the color and texture of the skin more effectively.
Most clients see noticeable results within one to two weeks after the first treatment. There is some discomfort with the treatment, and the area must be kept clean and makeup-free for four to five days. Some patients combine CO2 resurfacing with Platelet Rich Plasma treatment for better results and for faster healing.
HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound)
High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), or ultratherapy, is a non-surgical procedure used to tighten loose skin on the neck, chin, face, and body. HIFU rejuvenates the skin by using high-intensity energy that acts on the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, which connects the facial muscles to the skin. The treatment shrinks the SMAS layer and regenerates the skin.
HIFU produces no known side effects, but everyone is not a good candidate. You should schedule a consultation at the anti-aging medical and laser clinic for an evaluation of your condition. Our doctors might recommend combining other treatments in combination with ultratherapy to enhance the overall look and appearance of your skin.
Ultratherapy treatment can also reshape your face to make it look more youthful and aesthetically pleasing. Treatments usually take about 30 minutes and only cause mild discomfort. The risk of side effects and downtime are minimal. Many patients who have undergone HIFU treatment are very satisfied with the results without the expense, risks, and recovery time required with surgery.
Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy has become a popular treatment for everything, from localized therapy for facials to whole-body therapy for painful joints. It involves sitting in a tank with freezing or near-freezing temperatures, and it’s usually applied to the entire body. Although cryotherapy is used to treat a broad range of medical conditions, it has also been shown to slow or reverse the signs of aging and support fat loss.
At Peak Health Group, we use brief full-body cold exposure to help reduce inflammation and stress while rejuvenating your skin, body, and mind. Reducing stress and enjoying a happy lifestyle will help keep you looking and feeling healthy and more youthful.
Like many newer treatments, the benefits of cryotherapy are not yet proven. Still, many patients have achieved excellent results when using it as a treatment or preventative for many ailments. It can be uncomfortable for people who aren’t used to the cold. But, most treatments are brief, lasting only two to three minutes. In addition to improving the appearance of your skin, it can reduce pain and inflammation and improve circulation in the affected area.
