Brown spots, wrinkles, those nasty creases along the eyes and nose - they're the inevitable signs of aging. Sure, there are ways to get rid of them. We've all heard of Botox and facelifts. But science has now discovered three new ways to turn back the clock--and all of them are non-invasive and require little to no downtime. Clear + Brilliant, Thermage, and photo facials (IPL) facials are all cutting-edge treatments that offer impressive results in a short period of time. Best of all, they target a wide range of dermatological issues. These innovative technologies can tackle enlarged pores, sun damaged skin, fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone and texture, and sagging skin. Curious? Want to find out more? Continue reading for the lowdown on each of these innovative treatments:

Thermage

Thermage is a revolutionary treatment for aging skin that uses focused radio-frequency energy to strengthen collagen in the skin, effectively addressing the visible signs of aging. Thermage works in just one treatment, requires little to no downtime and delivers natural-looking results. Thermage works wonders on:

The Eyes

  • Hooding, fine lines and even our brow line can make you look worn-down. With Thermage you can kiss those signs of aging good bye! Thermage treats the upper and lower eyelids to help you look more youthful and rested.

The Face

  • As we age, sagging skin and loose jowls start to creep in, making most of us look older than we are. Thermage puts a stop to this premature aging. Thermage smoothes lines and wrinkles and remodels collagen, making your skin glow with renewed health and vigor.

The Body

  • Aging doesn't just affect facial skin - skin all over the body suffers the effects of aging too. Unwanted bulges and dimples, bump and ripples are all the tell-tale markers of an aging body. Thermage is a non-invasive way to smooth body skin--and it can even temporarily improve the appearance of cellulite!
How does Thermage work all this magic? Thermage works from the inside out. It delivers heat deep into the epidermis. This not only encourages new collagen growth, but also tightens existing collagen structures as well. Scientifically speaking, Thermage's radiofrequency technology generates electrical currents, which cause collagen fibers to contract and remodel. This innovative process has most patients noticing significant tightening and smoothing of the skin over a six month period. The best thing of all? Because Thermage remodels collagen, results from a single treatment tend to last years.

Clear + Brilliant

You might have heard people talking about Clear + Brilliant--and no wonder! Clear + Brilliant is a revolutionary laser skin-care treatment clinically proven to fight the effects of aging. Clear + Brilliant helps improve tone and texture and gives skin a radiant, youthful glow. It also creates a more even skin "canvas," effectively reducing the appearance of pores. What's more, in addition to refreshing your skin tone and texture, Clear + Brilliant also makes your topical skin care products more effective by enhancing skin permeability. In fact, clinical studies show that those treated with Clear + Brilliant followed by a topical antioxidant serum noted greater uniform tone, boosted radiance and enhanced overall appearance. What's not to love? How does Clear + Brilliant work exactly? It revitalizes your skin from the inside out. Clear + Brilliant's innovative laser technology gently resurfaces the skin's top layers by creating millions of microscopic treatment zones within the dermis. The resulting damaged skin is then replaced with healthy tissue, leading to smoother, softer and younger looking skin. Best of all, significant results can be seen after just one treatment!

IPL Facials

Intense Pulsed Light. Sounds complicated, right? But IPL photo facials are simply a non-invasive way to help restore the youthful appearance of skin. They improve the appearance of sun damaged skin, remove age spots, and fade redness caused by broken capillaries, leading to overall more even, luminous, and younger-looking skin. IPL facials also refine pore size, diminish fine lines, and fade shallow acne scars. Best of all, patients can see dramatic results within a very short period of time. The science behind IPL photofacials is simple too. IPL facials work by penetrating multiple layers of skin. Using a broad-spectrum light source, IPL facials target the dermis' deeper layers while leaving the superficial layers intact. The heat generated from the light promotes healing of the skin within, treating a number of different dermatological issues. Although you can start to see noticeable results after only one treatment, it is recommended that you undergo a series of five treatment sessions spaced three weeks apart to obtain desired results. Skin continues to improve with each successive treatment. The verdict is in! Say goodbye to costly, invasive traditional surgical procedures, and hello to revolutionary, non-invasive radiofrequency and laser-based anti-aging treatments. Thermage, Clear + Brilliant and IPL facials are formulated to treat a wide range of dermatological issues, all without hurting your wallet or leaving you recuperating in bed for weeks on end. Do you want to effectively and efficiently turn back the clock? Then check out one of these three innovative procedures.
