How to Improve Fine Lines, Sun Damage, and Skin Laxity Without Surgery
When it comes to aging skin, fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, uneven tone, and loss of firmness are all part of the natural process. But that doesn't mean you can't do something about them.
Today's most advanced aesthetic treatments can help refresh your appearance without surgery or lengthy downtime. Whether you're looking to improve skin texture, address signs of sun damage, or tighten and smooth aging skin, treatments like Thermage FLX®, Clear + Brilliant®, and IPL photofacials can help you achieve healthier, more radiant-looking skin.
Here's a closer look at three of LaserAway's most popular skin rejuvenation treatments.
Tighten and Smooth Skin With Thermage FLX
If you're noticing skin laxity, crepey texture, or a loss of firmness, Thermage FLX may be the treatment you've been looking for.
Thermage FLX uses radiofrequency energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating existing collagen and encouraging the body's natural collagen production process. Because collagen is responsible for keeping skin firm and youthful-looking, boosting collagen can help improve skin tightness and texture over time.
Thermage FLX can be used on multiple areas of the body, including:
- Face
- Jawline
- Neck
- Eyes
- Abdomen
- Arms
- Thighs
- Buttocks
One of the most popular treatment areas is around the eyes, where Thermage FLX can help improve the appearance of hooding, crepey skin, and fine lines. It's also a favorite for the lower face and jawline, where it can help create a smoother, more defined appearance.
Most patients require only a single treatment session, and because there's little to no downtime, you can typically return to your normal activities right away.
Refresh Your Skin With Clear + Brilliant
Want brighter, smoother, more radiant skin? Clear + Brilliant is often called the "starter laser" because it's a gentle, preventive laser treatment designed to help maintain healthy, youthful-looking skin.
Clear + Brilliant creates millions of microscopic treatment zones in the upper layers of the skin. This process helps replace damaged skin with healthier-looking skin while stimulating skin renewal.
Benefits of Clear + Brilliant may include:
- Improved skin tone and texture
- Increased radiance
- Softer, smoother skin
- Reduced appearance of pores
- A more refreshed overall complexion
Many patients choose Clear + Brilliant as part of their long-term skincare routine because it helps address early signs of aging while supporting healthy skin maintenance.
Another advantage? The treatment can help improve the absorption of medical-grade skincare products, allowing your post-treatment skincare regimen to work even harder.
Because Clear + Brilliant is minimally invasive and requires minimal downtime, it's easy to fit into even the busiest schedule.
Target Sun Damage and Discoloration With IPL Photofacials
Years of sun exposure can leave behind unwanted reminders in the form of brown spots, redness, and uneven pigmentation. IPL photofacials are designed to help improve these visible signs of sun damage.
IPL, which stands for Intense Pulsed Light, uses broad-spectrum light energy to target unwanted pigment and redness beneath the skin's surface. As the treated pigment naturally breaks down and fades, skin appears clearer, brighter, and more even-toned.
IPL photofacials are commonly used to address:
- Sun spots
- Age spots
- Freckles
- Redness
- Broken capillaries
- Uneven skin tone
Because IPL targets multiple concerns at once, it's an excellent option for patients looking to improve overall skin clarity and radiance.
While many patients begin noticing improvement after their first treatment, a series of treatments is typically recommended for optimal results.
Which Treatment Is Right for You?
Thermage FLX, Clear + Brilliant, and IPL photofacials each address different aspects of skin aging and rejuvenation.
If your primary concern is loose or crepey skin, Thermage FLX may be the best fit. If you're looking to improve overall skin tone, texture, and radiance, Clear + Brilliant is a great option. And if sun damage, redness, or pigmentation are your biggest concerns, IPL photofacials can help restore a more even complexion.
