Clients can expect to see smoother, clearer and younger looking skin after one treatment but, full results are seen after a series of three treatments are performed. Peak results are achieved three months after the last session.
Most clients receive 3 treatments per area. The exact number will depend on each individual person and the area being treated. We recommend maintenence treatments every six months or annually.
Treatments are performed every four weeks.
Skin tightening: Uses (MP)² technology synergistic combination of Multi-Polar Radio Frequency (RF) and Pulsed Electro Magnetic Fields (PEMF) is safe for all skin types.
Venus Viva skin resurfacing: Uses Nano-Fractional Radio Frequency™(RF) and SmartScan™ technology that’s safe for all skin types, even darker complexions.
Venus Versa IPL photo facial: IPL is only safe for Fitzpatrick scale skin types I-IV. If you have too much melanin in the skin the IPL will focus on the skin as well and you can risk burns and blisters.
We recommend a combination of: Skin tightening, Venus Viva skin resurfacing and finishing with microneedling for complexions V and VI.
Make sure your skin is clean. Do not apply any lotions, creams, perfumes, powder, or makeup before your treatment session, and avoid tanning. Remove all jewelry around the area being treated. If you have noticable hair on the treatment area, shave it beforehand.
Refrain from any Advil, Aleve, and all non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) for one week prior to treatment as they contain blood thining properties which may increase adverse affects. Over the counter Tylenol (acetaminophen) is safe to consume.
We recommend a “dry heal” for 24 hours. No water or products are to be put on the skin. Your skin may be pink for the first 24 hours.
After 24 hours, you should apply sunscreen (at least SPF 30), preferably a physical sunblock not chemical. Also avoid rigorous exercise and hot baths or massages on the treatment area for the first 2 days after your session. Make sure to keep your skin clean and protected from the sun. Avoid any sort of tanning.
Edema (swelling) may occur, if this happens take OTC Benadryl. If swelling doesn’t resolve contact Luxe Laser at 503.303.3456.
In the rare case of an emergency seek medical attention.
IPL photo facial: Feels less painful and more “shocking” due to the intensity and speed. There is a quick pulse of intense heat that lasts a fraction of a second, milliseconds technically, accompanied by a moderate warmth that feels similar to a sunburn.
(MP)2 Skin tightening: Feels like a warm massage with a gentle amount of pressure in the treatment area.
Nano-Fractional Skin resurfacing: Feels like tiny pins on your skin followed by a short zap of electricity. Your face will then feel warm, like a sunburn. Treatments may be slightly uncomfortable, but not painful. You’ll feel spicy heat, similar to the feeling of sunburn, and your face will look red right after the treatment.
With three treatments in one session, plan on being at Luxe Laser for approximately 2.5 hours.
