Dermal fillers are one of our most popular cosmetic services. Fillers are used to restore lost volume, particularly on the face where the skin is prone to thinning. It’s this thinner skin that leads to wrinkling, lines, and hollows. There are several different types of injectable fillers such as those with hyaluronic acid like Juvéderm and Restylane, and Calcium hydroxylapatite which is found in Radiesse.

Another option that is becoming a more and more popular dermal filler is fat injections or fat transfers. There are several benefits to using your own body fat as a facial filler, not the least of which is ready acceptance by the body.

BBL Concept Applied to the Face

A fat transfer to the face is a similar process to a Brazilian Butt Lift that harvests fat from another area of the body and uses it to build and shape the buttocks. In a facial filler procedure, the process is very much the same. You’ll first undergo a procedure that is similar to liposuction, but on a much smaller scale. This procedure removes fat from one area of the body such as your abs and waistline, buttocks, or thighs. Once the fat has been removed it is purified and then injected into the treatment areas of the face.

Unlike man-made fillers, fat transfer fillers last longer and look just as good. Since the filler consists of your own fat cells, they actually bind to your body once blood supply has been reestablished, helping the fat cells survive and thrive.

Fat transfers are a good choice for anyone wanting the most natural filler possible, however, since fat removal is required, the procedure takes longer and is slightly more complex than a traditional filler injection.

Best Applications For Fat Transfer Fillers

Fat transfers are best at restoring fullness to the face due to lost volume. They are most commonly used to plump skin around the eyes, add fullness to the cheeks and restore volume along the jawline. By injecting the area with fat cells, loose skin is plumped up, which reduces the appearance of wrinkles and sagging.

Have you noticed new sun damage or age spots this year? Now that winter is in full swing and summer tans have faded, we are seeing a lot of patients who are noticing skin pigmentation changes and want to do something about it. One solution that we offer at EnLighten Skin & Body Medspa is the IPL Photofacial.

The Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Photofacial is a laser light treatment that can be used to treat:

• Age spots/brown spots
• Sun damage
• Red spots
• Freckles
• Rosacea
• Broken veins
• Spider veins

How an IPL Photofacial Works

IPL Photofacials emit multiple wavelengths of light into the epidermis. These wavelengths target pigment production cells, destroying the hyperactive melanin-producing cells through heat energy. As the cells are destroyed, uneven pigment is dispersed and discoloration pulled to the surface of the skin where it naturally exfoliates to reveal fresh, new skin. Best results are achieved with 3-5 treatments, each spaced about a month apart.

Photofacials are not painful, but you will feel them working. A typical face treatment takes about 45 minutes, but treatment time varies depending on the size of the area being treated. Treating discoloration on the back, may take longer than the face, for example. But targeting spider veins on the legs, may be quicker.

Photofacials can be used on all parts of the body but is not recommended for anyone with a tan or melasma since the laser targets areas or dark pigmentation.

Long-Term Continuous Improvement in Skin Tone

One of the reasons why photofacials are so popular is because results improve over time with optimum results appearing about 3 months after treatment concludes. Since skin cells are constantly exfoliating and renewing themselves, once the dark pigmentation has been blasted away, the path is open for fresh skin to emerge.

Proper skin protection and maintenance are necessary to support healing and prevent a relapse of pigmentation from occurring. That means strict use of sunblock to avoid burning and regular exfoliation to prevent skin from dulling.

Pumpkin Spice seems to be the flavor of choice this time of year. It’s everywhere you look from lattes to cookies to candles. While we haven’t gone quite so far as to create a Pumpkin Spice facial, we do want to tell you about our Pumpkin-Apple Mask.

This refreshing mask is available as an add-on to any service through the month of November for just $25!

Pumpkins and Apples Are Good For the Skin

Pumpkins and apples both have plenty of health benefits. They are high in vitamins, nutrients and antioxidants making them extremely healthy foods. As it turns out, those benefits apply when the fruits are applied externally to the skin too!

Pumpkin is high in Vitamins A, C, E, beta-carotene (the bright orange color is a dead giveaway!) and antioxidants while apples boast many of those same vitamins plus Vitamins B and K as well as Niacin Folate and Pantothenic Acid. Vitamins A, C and E are particularly beneficial for the skin, helping to promote skin renewal while fighting wrinkles and other signs of aging. The natural fruit acids found in apples and pumpkins help to gently exfoliate the skin which has a rejuvenating effect as dull skin cells are sloughed off and collagen production is triggered. Those acids and vitamins can also help tone down acne-prone skin and unclog pores.

Our pumpkin-apple mask harnesses all of the natural health benefits of the fruits to help:

• Brighten and improve skin tone and texture
• Exfoliate dead skin cells for fresher looking skin
• Clear pores and reduce breakouts
• Stimulate collagen production
• Infuse sun-damaged skin with antioxidants
• Hydrate dry or depleted skin

Did we mention the pumpkin-apple combo smells great? It will totally put you in a fall frame of mind!

Do you love the deep, rich colors of fall lipstick? Want to make your lips look even more irresistible? Schedule a Volbella or Belotero lip filler treatment at EnLighten Skin and Body Medspa this month. We’re offering your choice of these lip filler treatments for just $399 through the end of October! With results lasting up to a year, you’ll be able to rock all of your favorite lip colors!

Volbella

Volbella is a dermal filler made especially for lips. It’s part of the Juvederm brand of fillers so you know it’s effective! Like Juvederm, Volbella is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler, but it’s thinner and more supple than other fillers making it perfect for the delicate skin of the lips. When applied to the lips, it adds volume resulting in a plumper shape. Built-in lidocaine minimizes discomfort at the injection site. Volbella can also be used on the skin around the lips to smooth vertical lines and improve lip line definition.

Belotero

Belotero is made by the same company that produces Cellfina and Radiesse. This is another top-notch dermal filler but it has a slight edge over Volbella in filling in finer lines and wrinkles thanks to its lower density. This is also a hyaluronic acid filler available with and without lidocaine, but it can be used right under the skin to target those very, very fine lines that are just starting.

Make Time For Fuller, Softer Lips

Both Volbella and Belotero are outstanding lip fillers, giving lips subtle, natural-looking plumpness. Which one is right for you? Schedule an appointment with EnLighten Skin and Body Medspa to find out! Our technicians will evaluate your needs and recommend whichever product will produce the best results. Since they are both on special for the same price, you have nothing to lose!
