Icon & Three for Me at Advanced OBGYN Med Spa

Icon & Three for Me at Advanced OBGYN Med Spa

Ever wonder how you can help the redness in your face, the broken blood vessels you see around the nose and cheek area, or how about all that discoloration???

They call this Three For Me because in one treatment you can help three different skin issues. IPL (Intense Pulse Light) treats your discoloration for a more even skin tone. This could range from brown spots, freckles or even age spots that we get from years of sun exposure. At the same time, it can treat your facial veins/redness in the face. Those stubborn broken blood vessels can be so annoying! Next, you have Frax, which is a “microbeam” laser technology that will help give your skin have a smoother looking appearance. It helps with fine lines, wrinkles, acne scarring and texture of your skin.

Welcome to the new era of combining treatments
safely in one sitting to help your utmost skin concerns!!
Say hello to Three For Me from Cynosure’s Icon technology!!

You may have some slight discomfort as some patients may describes as a “rubber band snap”. You do have the option for numbing (usually for about 30 minutes long) and this does make the procedure more comfortable for you, but plan on being in our office for roughly an hour. After the treatment is done, you will experience that of a “sunburn” like effect, slight swelling and redness for about 2-3 days. However, you may apply ice packs to help and you can definitely wear makeup to help conceal some of the redness.

At Advanced OBGYN-Med Spa, we do recommend a series of at least 3 treatments to achieve optimal results about 4-5 weeks apart with maintenance treatment to follow in the future. Once you complete your treatments, enjoy the beauty of Three For Me and see how much smoother, brighter and more radiant your skin is.

Blue light sound familiar to you?

Probably not, it is also known as high energy visible (HEV) light.  It comes from your computers, TVs and smart phones.

As published in Shape Magazine’s November issue; HEV is said to penetrate the skin more deeply than UV rays and damage collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin. There is some evidence that the light may also worsen pigmentation problems, such as Melasma (brown splotches). There is no true evidence tying it to skin cancers and deep wrinkles. Although it is still too new for long-term study results.  Even if you wear your sunscreen daily, many formulas don’t protect against HEV. ZO Skin Health, by Dr. Zein Obaji,MD introduces the latest skin care science to deliver at-home products with in-office strength.  Ossential Daily Power and Defense was recognized in Shape Magazine as “definitely worth investing in”.

DPD is working double duty to help hydrate and protect against HEV light. It’s great for all skin types to help DNA repair and antioxidant protection.

At Advanced OBGYN- Med Spa we are thrilled to have ZO Skin Health in our office and are able give our patients not only the treatment, but the protection their skin needs!!
