National Dermatologist Day, celebrated annually on March 13, honors Dermatologists for their role in maintaining and improving skin health. Dermatologists are medical professionals who specialize in diagnosing and treating skin, hair, and nail conditions. At Vitalogy Skincare in the Austin area, we’re celebrating our team of Board-Certified Dermatologists for their expertise and dedication to helping people achieve healthy, beautiful skin. Join us in celebrating them this month and take advantage of some great specials.
BBL delivers pulses of light energy that gently heat the upper layers of skin. Within the skin, the light energy is absorbed by targets, such as fine, broken vessels that cause redness and brown spots or pigmented lesions caused by an overproduction of melanin. This process targets and eliminates pigmentation, restoring your skin’s natural beauty and blending its natural tones for a more vibrant, youthful appearance.
Depending on your skin issues and the level of improvement you desire, your Vitalogy Skincare Aesthetician in the Austin area will work with you to personalize your treatment plan, including the number of treatments that will be most effective. They may also recommend combining your BBL treatment with other procedures to enhance your outcome.
During a BBL session, your eyes will be safely protected with specialized shields or glasses. As the light is applied, you may feel a warm sensation on your skin, but the treatment is generally comfortable for most patients. While a topical anesthetic is rarely needed, your Dermatology Provider may opt for one in more sensitive areas.
After your session, you might notice mild redness and a sensation similar to a light sunburn, which usually fades within a few hours to a day. Over the next few weeks, you’ll see a gradual transformation as collagen production ramps up and imperfections diminish, leaving your skin looking refreshed and rejuvenated. Results vary based on your skin’s condition, the number of treatments, and the areas treated.
To maximize your results, follow your Dermatology Provider’s post-treatment care guidelines. This gentle, non-invasive procedure requires little to no downtime, so you can immediately return to your daily routine. Be sure to protect your skin by avoiding direct sunlight and applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher when outdoors.
**BBL Special excludes Forever Young and large areas. Consultation is required prior to treatment.
Morpheus8 is a cutting-edge, non-surgical treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to improve skin tone, texture, and tightness. It is designed to remodel collagen and tissue at a deeper level, making it an effective option for addressing a variety of skin and tissue concerns on both the face and body.
The procedure itself involves a handheld device with tiny microneedles that penetrate the skin while delivering radiofrequency (RF) energy deep into the tissue. A topical numbing cream is typically applied before treatment to minimize discomfort. You may feel a slight prickling sensation and warmth, but most patients tolerate it well.
After the session, you can expect some redness, mild swelling, and possible pinpoint scabbing for a few days. These side effects typically fade within a week. Over the following weeks, as collagen production increases, you’ll notice smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin. Full results develop over 3 to 6 months after a series of treatments, with most patients needing 1 to 3 sessions for optimal outcomes.
While downtime is minimal, it’s important to avoid sun exposure, wear sunscreen, and follow post-treatment skin care instructions to maximize results and support skin healing.
