It’s really no secret!

Thanks to these antiaging procedures 50 really is the new 30! And SpaMedica is one of the first and only Med Spas in the Grand Rapids area to offer several of the advanced anti aging treatments that celebrities rely on to look youthful at every age.

In this article the anti aging experts at SpaMedica in Grand Rapids compare our 4 top anti aging treatments. Take a look at the information below, and then schedule a consultation and we will help you decide which of these revolutionary anti aging treatments is right for you!

Why Does skin Age?

Collagen is the support structure of our skin and gives our skin firmness, elastin gives our skin elasticity and the ability to rebound, glycosaminoglycans (GAG) helps the skin to stay hydrated. As we age, all of these vital elements of our skin decrease. After the age of 30 our skin produces 1% less collagen a year, that’s 20% less by the time we are 50 years old. As a result of collagen and elastin loss our skin becomes thinner, with uneven tone and color, less resilient.

However, these revolutionary nonsurgical anti aging treatment stimulate the body’s own natural production of collagen and elastin – to smooth, thicken, plump and repair the skin!

#1. “Three for Me™” Laser Anti Aging Treatment

With ThreeForMe™ at SpaMedica GR in Grand Rapids Say you can goodbye to tired, dull skin – and hello to a brighter, younger-looking you!

ThreeForMe™ laser treatments address three of the most common “telltale” signs of aging – wrinkles, sun damage and facial veins – all with a single procedure. This comfortable procedure only takes 30 minutes and has very little downtime.

ThreeForMe™ anti aging treatments use the clinically proven Icon™ laser and is performed in two steps. The first step treats skin discoloration and redness (including age spots, sun spots, dark spots, facial veins, etc.) using Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology. The second step treats wrinkles and fine lines using “microbeam” laser technology to stimulate collagen and elastin production – the keys to the support structure of our skin.

Most patients feel only minimal discomfort as the laser is guided over the treatment area, such as intense warm and a sensation similar to the snapping of a rubber band. While there is no downtime, patients may experience some minor redness and swelling similar to a mild sunburn for a couple days.

Treatments are quick and only last about 30 minutes in our Grand Rapids Med Spa. Depending on the skin condition, one to three treatments at one-month intervals will deliver optimal anti aging results.

#2. IPL Laser Anti Aging Treatment

IPL is a safe, non-invasive laser treatment used to treat sun spots, dark spots, redness, broken capillaries, and other signs of aging. IPL gives the skin a smoother, clearer, more youthful and revitalized appearance.

IPL, sometimes called a ‘photofacial’, uses multiple wavelengths of light that are selected for each patient’s unique skin type and signs of aging. The light energy is adjusted so that it is only absorbed by the targeted cells – such as melanin for brown spots – while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed.

The pigmented cells are destroyed by the laser, and are replaced by fresh, smooth youthful skin cells.  The treated area will form a light scale (coffee ground appearance) and will gradually flake off over the next 2 weeks.

#3. Morpheus 8 Radiofrequency Anti Aging Treatment

Morpheus8 is a state-of-the-art medical device that combines microneedling with radiofrequency to achieve remodeling of the skin on a deeper cellular level.  Microneedling creates microscopic pricks in the skin that stimulate the body’s own production of collagen and elastin, naturally rebuilding firmer, smoother, younger looking skin. Simultaneously, the radiofrequency energy is delivered deep within the lower layer of skin (dermis) that also activates collagen production.

In addition to offering the benefits of microneedling, the Morpheus8 is also a “Subdermal Adipose Remodeling Device” (SARD) which uses heat energy to actually melt and mold the fat to create more youthful contours.

#4. Forma “Lunchtime Lift” Anti Aging Treatment

Forma skin tightening was developed by inMode – a world leader in laser and radiofrequency skin care treatments. Forma skin tightening is often called a “Lunchtime Lift” because of it delivers immediate and long-lasting skin tightening results, without surgery and without any downtime.

Forma is one of the latest and most advanced technologies for skin tightening and lifting. Radiofrequency (RF) energy is generated at one million pulses per second, to penetrate deep into the skin’s underlying tissue. The RF energy not only immediately tightens tissue and skin, but also stimulates natural collagen production that will improve skin elasticity and tone over time, as more collagen is produced.

Forma can instantly tighten facial skin and improve crow’s feet, under eye bags, saggy eyelids, and fine lines around the nose, mouth, forehead and jawline.
