Wrinkles are an inevitable consequence of aging. But you can minimize and delay wrinkles by living a healthy lifestyle, nourishing your body with healthy food, avoiding tobacco and alcohol, moisturizing every day, and getting enough sleep. You can also explore your options for preventative skin care treatments like BOTOX®/Dysport® with the team at Skin Secrets.

Quality skin care products can certainly work to smooth skin and minimize wrinkles, but the most effective treatments to address fine lines and wrinkles are advanced clinical treatments. Explore your options for medical-grade skincare and innovative wrinkle treatments at Skin Secrets.

The condition of your skin, the intensity of your creases, your chosen treatment strategy, and your goals for treatment will all impact how long it takes before you see results.

The Collagen Induction properties of Medical Microneedling will boost collagen and elastic production and smooth out the deep creases of nasolabial folds at the treatment site. Medical Microneedling also creates microchannels to facilitate a deeper absorption of topical anti-aging skin care products.

Creases and wrinkles are a natural and inevitable part of aging. Advanced skin care treatments and products can soften the appearance of nasolabial lines and slow their progression for a long time, but they can never completely reverse the aging process.

There is no cure for rosacea but effective treatment can control flare-ups, reduce the visible symptoms, and restore balance and health to the skin.

Aggressive treatments like chemical peels and microdermabrasion can sometimes irritate the skin and vessels and cause a flare-up. Patients with rosacea tend to have overactive skin and treatments that cause micro injuries or stimulate the skin can cause further damage. It is best to consult with your skin care specialist before deciding which skin care treatments are safe and beneficial for you.

Rosacea is often mistaken for acne. But the causes and treatments for rosacea and acne are different. If you are unsure whether your skin is showing signs of acne or rosacea, consult with the team at Skin Secrets for an accurate assessment and appropriate treatment recommendations.

The ideal treatment for acne scars will depend on the type and severity of acne scarring. Some minor acne scars can be revised completely. Severe acne scarring may never completely disappear but it can be dramatically improved and skin can appear smoother and healthier.

You may see noticeable improvements in as few as 7-14 days after treatment, but optimal results should be apparent 4-8 weeks after your last laser treatment.

The non-invasive skin care treatments to address skin laxity at Skin Secrets really do work to improve the tone and elasticity of sagging skin.

The ideal treatment to address your concerns for sagging skin is determined by your overall skin health, the degree of lost elasticity, and your goals for treatment. Visit the team at Skin Secrets for your Secret Skin Assessment and explore your options for healthy, rejuvenated skin.

The CoolSculpting® freezing temperature provides an almost numbing effect at the treatment area. Most clients report no pain and very little discomfort. After treatment you may experience some hypersensitivity to your skin at the treatment area or some very mild tenderness, but most clients return to their daily activities immediately.

Because a number of injections will target fat stores under the chin, some clients experience mild discomfort during Belkyra®/Kybella® treatment. The team at Skin Secrets will apply numbing cream to the treatment area to reduce discomfort.
