Why Every Beauty Girl Is Using LaseMD

Hi lovelies,

I had the pleasure of receiving my very first LaseMD procedure at Zena Medical in Newport Beach and I couldn’t be happier with my treatment. Even though it might take a few more days to see the full results on my skin, my experience at the medical center was phenomenal.

I was running a bit behind my normal schedule because I’ve been under the weather lately, but I was determined to make my appointment because having soft, smooth, plump, and even-tone skin is important to me and trying the laser technology experience by Lutronic was not-to-be-missed.

The LaseMD procedure rebuilds healthy skin, rejuvenates pigmented skin, and resurfaces fine lines and wrinkles by treating actinic keratosis, face, neck, arms and decollate care, benign pigmented lesion. lentigos, and freckles.

MY SKIN IS GLOWING ONE DAY AFTER RECEIVING LASEMD

I was greeted warmly by Dr. Zena Gabriel, who’s a board-certified dermatologist and has over a decade of extensive integrated experience in medical dermatology, surgical dermatology, Mohs Micrographic Surgery and aesthetic treatments, and she was just as lovely as she was informative and intelligent.

I was then talked through the simple yet powerful procedure that started with cleaning my skin and then by applying a numbing cream to my face - even though the procedure really didn’t hurt. Next, Laura performed the LaseMD procedure to my face and she was warm, friendly, and kind, and talked me through each step so that I felt comfortable and at ease.

I’m so excited to go back for more treatments and to enjoy my results. Here’s to happy, healthy, and glowing skin!

LaseMD GLO: Laser Skin Resurfacing
What is LaseMD GLO? The newest anti-aging treatment that rejuvenates skin texture and tone using laser heat combined with a potent topical agent. This laser reduces fine lines and discoloration caused by sun damage, while stimulating collagen to create a healthy glow. Results can be seen even after a single treatment.

How does LaseMD GLO work?
Multiple laser beams penetrate the skin creating tiny micro-wounds within the skin. It promotes collagen regeneration which naturally reduces skin imperfections. Following each treatment, a specific anti-aging serum and cream mask are applied to the treated skin – enhancing the experience and optimizing the benefits for a longer-lasting effect. Patient’s experience minimal discomfort during the treatment. The serum is sent home with you to continue applying as your skin heals. By doing this, you are effectively feeding your skin nutrients through the open channels causing maximal results.

Why LaseMD GLO?

• Improves texture and tone of skin
• Shrinks pore size
• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
• Erases unwanted brown spots
• Rejuvenates neck, chest, arms, lower legs, and hands
• Stimulates new collagen formation

What should I expect following a LaseMD GLO treatment?
Healing occurs in less than one week. Some swelling and redness is normal for about 1 -2 days or longer if a stronger setting is used. Make-up may be applied 2 hours following treatment. How soon will I see results? In just a few days, new skin will appear that is smoother and more even-toned. You will continue to see improvement for up to 6 months because of the stimulation of new collagen formation. After the procedure, you will be given specific and individualized instructions on how to obtain optimal results with at-home care.

How many treatments will I need?
Most patients require 3-5 treatments. Each treatment builds upon the last to improve the “GLO” of your skin. All patients are assessed individually and a unique treatment plan will be created for you! The effects following a series of LaseMD treatments are long term and highly successful.

How long will the effects last?
The effects of the laser treatment do not “wear off” with time, however, our body’s natural tendency is to age. To minimize on-going and future damage, preventive measures may be utilized, such as: daily sunscreen use, creating suncoverage with a hat, and avoiding outdoor activity during the peak hours of sun. These lifestyle changes will allow your newly-formed, healthy skin to stay looking refreshed and glowing longer.

4 Skincare Must-Haves For Glowing Skin

Hi lovelies,

Earlier this year my skin had a major freak-out. I was over exfoliating and using a product with retinol and it was just too harsh and too much for my sensitive skin. That’s when really learned that less is more, especially when it came to my skincare routine.

I needed to give my skin time to heal and breathe so I stopped using everything and slimmed down to my skincare essentials. Doing less to my skin, with gentler products, was actually the best way to get glowing and healthy skin.

Luckily, my skin is on the mend and is back to being it’s healthy and plump self. Read on below for the four skincare products that got my skin healthy and glowing again!

If you like what you see below, you can get your skin glowing, here.

4 Skincare Must-Haves For Glowing Skin

1. Skin Laundry Gentle Foaming Face Wash

Start your skincare routine by treating your skin with a super gentle cleanser to remove dirt, make-up, excess oils, and residue.

My go-to is the Skin Laundry Gentle Foaming Face Wash. It’s a mild cleanser that you can use everyday with soothing botanical extracts that smells like fresh linens.

It leaves my skin smooth, calm, soft, and clean and doesn’t overdry or irritate my skin.

---

2. Arcona Cranberry Toner

I follow-up my cleanser with Arcona Cranberry Toner. It’s a three-in-one natural and gentle cranberry milk toner that has nourishing elements of antioxidant rich botanicals and rice milk. My skin feels cleansed, toned, and hydrated.

Plus, it protects my skin while prepping it for the next step of moisturizer and serum and doesn’t have any harsh chemicals that could irritate my sensitive skin.

---

3. Sunday Riley C.E.O. C Plus E Antioxidant Protect Plus Repair Moisturizer

After cleansing and toning, I then moisturize my skin with Sunday Riley C.E.O. C Plus E Antioxidant Protect Plus Repair Moisturizer. It’s one of my favorite moisturizers that I use under makeup during the day and at-night to repair and restore my skin.

My skin feels smooth, hydrated, and protected. It also helps with keeping your skin youthful and glowing.

---

4. Kiehl’s Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate Serum

Vitamin C has been such a game-changer in my skincare routine, so I finish with Kiehl’s Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate Serum that contains 12.5% of Vitamin C. It brightens my skin, reduces fine lines, fades dark spots, and keeps my skin radiant.

I also love that it has Hyaluronic Acid but isn’t harsh and keeps my skin smooth and is carefully-formulated for all skin types, even sensitive skin.
