    What is microneedling? Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that involves small, sterilized needles puncturing the top layer of the skin. Sometimes a skincare serum is placed on the skin before or after needling to help with healing and inflammation. Microneedling creates superficial wounds on your skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production . This treatment has few potential side effects and gives you excellent results with only a few treatments. Microneedling can help mitigate several skin issues: Acne scars Sun damage Wrinkles Enlarged pores Fine lines Stretch marks What happens during your treatment? Try to arrive early to your microneedling appointment to fill out any important paperwork, and to have your face numbed. Depending on where you get your treatment, your skincare specialist may put on a collagen serum to encourage collagen production afterward. During your treatment, your specialist will use microneedling tools on your face and neck, running the needles horizontally and vertically across your skin. The needles on these tools will be sterilized and range from 0.5 mm to 2.5 mm in length. Talk to your specialist about which size is best for your skincare goals. Your appointment should last only 30 minutes, and after the microneedling, your specialist may do a calming face mask or lather moisturizer on your skin to keep it protected on your trip home. Microneedling can be added to your regular monthly facial appointments. Does microneedling hurt? Your skin will be numbed for your appointment, but there can be some pain or discomfort during and after your appointment. You may experience redness, inflammation, or swelling in the days following your appointment. If this persists past a week, talk to your doctor. What should you do after your treatment? You can go right home after your treatment. There is no downtime or recovery time required. You may want to rest, but if you have plans there is no need to cancel them. Try not to wear cosmetics or heavy makeup after your treatment. Who should not get microneedling? The best candidate for microneedling is relatively healthy with no history of inflammation issues. People with active cystic acne or who are on medication for their acne (like Accutane) should not get microneedling as it could damage their skin barrier and increase inflammation. How often should you get this treatment? For the best possible results, you should try to come in once a month for several months . However, the frequency of this treatment depends on the length of the needle you are using. The longer the needle is, the less frequently you should have this treatment performed. Ready to get started on your microneedling journey? Dr. Yates Lifestyle Med Spa offers excellent microneedling at a price you can afford, with results you’ll love.

    There are many different types of laser treatments for the body. Laser therapy, rejuvenation, and skin resurfacing are among the most common. Lasers are used for a wide range of health treatments from medicinal to cosmetic. Lasers can remove tissue to relieve pain, to reduce inflammation and edema, to heal deep tissue and nerve problems, and more. Learn what sort of treatment is best for your beauty and health goals! Cosmetic laser treatments for the body helps refresh your skin - whether on your face or your body or anywhere you want treatment (some more sensitive parts may require numbing cream). You should be especially careful if you are using laser treatments near your eyes. Our professionals will be sure that the lasers do not get anywhere near or in your eyes. Laser treatments can remove tattoos or unwanted hair, reduce acne, improve the look of wrinkles, age spots, or veins, and tighten sagging skin. Lasers work with your body’s natural healing systems . During your treatment, your skincare professional will use a laser to target the area you are working on. Depending on the treatment, the laser will damage the first layer of your skin which triggers cell turnover and stimulates new tissue growth, giving your skin a refreshed look and feel. Laser skin rejuvenation cosmetic treatments deliver a more youthful appearance. These treatments reduce the look of age spots, fine lines, acne scarring, skin laxity, large pores, and more. Laser skin rejuvenation can be performed for facial skin, the back of hands, or any part of the body. You may need several treatments to get your desired results. Your laser skin rejuvenation sessions could last between 2-3 hours depending on your skincare goals. After your appointment, you may need someone to pick you up if you were given any anesthesia. You may have a temporary loss of pigment in the treated areas, but this is rarely permanent. If you experience some blistering or bruising, contact your laser skincare professional. Laser hair removal is a cosmetic treatment that permanently removes unwanted hair anywhere on your body. Dr. Yates offers effective and safe laser hair removal and after about 8-12 monthly sessions you will never have to worry about shaving or waxing again! Your treatments should last only about 30-60 minutes and you will be able to leave your appointment without needing any down time. You may notice some redness, inflammation, or itchiness after your appointment. If these persist, contact your laser hair removal specialist. Laser skin resurfacing is a cosmetic procedure to specifically target the effects of sun damage and aging blemishes on your face. Your appointment will likely take between 1-2 hours. After your procedure, your doctor will cover your skin with moisturizers, sun screen, and sometimes bandages to protect against further sun damage. You may experience redness, swelling, and itchiness as your new skin heals. Use an ice pack to relieve some of these symptoms and take any pain reliever. After your appointment, you should notice younger, more refreshed looking skin in as little as 4 weeks. Depending on what your skin care goals are, one of these laser treatments could be the perfect fit for you. At Dr. Yates Lifestyle MedSpa , your goals are our priority. We want you to look and feel your best - without hurting your wallet! Book your free consultation with Dr. Yates Lifestyle MedSpa today!

    All people experience the formation of wrinkles as they age, and many opt to use injectable Botox or dermal filler treatments to fix or fend off the appearance of wrinkles. There are a couple of differences between these treatment options, but both Botox and dermal fillers can be highly effective and long-lasting. Discover which treatment is best for your goals and your specific wrinkle formations. The main difference between these injectables is which wrinkled areas are being addressed. Botox injections are primarily used to fight dynamic wrinkles . These wrinkles come naturally from muscle movement, especially around the eyes, forehead, and mouth. Botox injections diminish the look of these wrinkles by relaxing the muscles in these areas. Botox can also be used to treat neurological disorders, migraines, and other health problems. Dermal fillers are used to alter the appearance of wrinkles by adding volume to the face in areas that have lost subcutaneous fat due to natural aging, usually around the lips, mouth, and cheeks. There are many different types of dermal fillers, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Talk to your doctor about which they would recommend for your personal goals. Dermal fillers can also be used for improving the appearance of scars and aging hands. Both Botox and dermal fillers are highly effective and provide long-lasting results. With Botox, you should see your final results within a few days of your appointment and should have minimal side effects . With dermal fillers, your final results will be visible within a week of your procedure. Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about any pre-existing conditions you may have that could affect your results. Botox and dermal fillers have both been around for decades and are medical grade procedures. This means that you will get medical grade results, but you may experience some symptoms or side effects that can occur doing any routine procedure. If you experience any of these side effects for an extended amount of time, contact your doctor for further instructions. Botox and dermal fillers are not recommended for people who are pregnant or smokers. You will get the best results if you are in overall good health. Be aware that both Botox and dermal fillers can have side effects, although most patients tolerate these treatments well. Side effects of Botox could be: Drooping eyelids Bruising at the injection site Eye redness Headaches Side effects of dermal fillers could be: Redness Scarring Sores Bruising Infection Allergic reaction Itching Numbness Botox treatments last for about 3–4 months and you will need additional treatments in order to keep up your results. Dermal fillers last longer than Botox, depending on the type of filler you get. However, you will also need additional treatments to maintain your filler results. Botox and dermal fillers are medical procedures, so it is important to have them performed by medical professionals with medical-grade equipment, like the professionals at the Dr. Yates Lifestyle MedSpa. Choosing which injectable to get is an important decision. Take your time to do your research, and talk to your doctor about your goals before booking an appointment.
