Laser Skin Treatment in Pittsburgh PA – Articles on Skin Treatments & Mommy-Makeovers
Get Gorgeous for Summer
That warm summer sun is on its way, and it's time to get your body ready with the latest medical spa treatments and surgical procedures from Premier Plastic Surgery and Acqua Blu. There's no reason to keep your body under wraps this summer, and with so many options, there's no excuse for delaying your body makeover any longer.
For starters, let's talk about legs – they can make or break an otherwise beautiful body. We offer a pair of laser treatments to create smooth, shimmering legs that look like they were ripped from the pages of a fashion magazine:
- Laser hair removal permanently reduces hair on such areas as the underarms, legs, back, and bikini line. Once your series of treatments is complete, you can ditch the daily routine of tweezing, plucking, and shaving and enjoy increased comfort.
- Laser vein removal is a focused treatment that targets those unsightly spider veins which make your legs look old and make you self-conscious about wearing revealing clothing.
So you're well on your way to enjoying luscious legs, but what about the rest of your body? You can get in perfect bathing suit shape with one of our many lipo options, including ProLipo and ultrasonic liposuction. ProLipo is a new laser-assisted liposuction treatment that makes it easier than ever to subtly shape and slim all areas of the body. Other popular body contouring procedures include buttock lift and tummy tuck surgery.
But don't stop at body contouring. Breast enhancement is an ideal procedure for women who want to feel their best in tank tops, bathing suits, and other revealing summer clothing. We offer such procedures as breast augmentation and breast lift to create a more attractive contour and shape. The best part? Our skilled surgeons are able to carefully create a naturally-enhanced look so you can turn heads and show off your body with confidence knowing that your plastic surgery secret is safe with us.
Now's the time to get gorgeous for summer. Contact us online or call 724.776.2111 today for more information.
Get Ready for Your Close-Up – It's Wedding Season
A wedding is one of those defining, beautiful moments to share with friends and loved ones. Food, festivities, and plenty of picture taking. Which raises an important question: is your complexion ready to be preserved for posterity?
If you need a little touch up to look your radiant best, the staff at Acqua Blu can help. We offer a number of minimal-downtime treatments to improve your skin tone, such as:
If wrinkles are your worry, injectable treatments like BOTOX® Cosmetic and Restylane® can erase those stubborn lines. With a smooth complexion you'll be ready to flash that "perfect smile" and show just how happy you are for the newlyweds.
As any wedding planner can tell you, the big day can be more than a little stressful. A great way to relax a bit and polish your skin all at once is to indulge in a rejuvenating facial. And bring professional skincare right into your own home when you select from the wide variety of physician-strength products we offer including Revision® Skincare Finishing Touch, Sunless Tanner, and SkinCeuticals Clarifying Clay Masque.
Get Checked and Get Help for Sun Damaged Skin
May is National Skin Cancer Detection and Prevention Month. With many millions of women and men across the U.S. having cancerous and pre-cancerous skin growths removed each year, there's no better time to get educated and protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
In recognition of this very important month, everyone at Premier Plastic Surgery and Acqua Blu Medical Spa is dedicated to setting a few minutes aside to educate our clients on proper sun protection and skin cancer prevention techniques.
We offer 3 ways to help you battle the effects of harmful UV rays:
- Medical Procedures: Mole removal is one of the most common procedures performed by plastic surgeons across the country, and the surgeons at Premier Plastic Surgery have years of experience excising skin blemishes using methods that minimize scarring.
- Spa Treatments: Photodynamic and IPL treatments can remove brown spots and sun damage. In fact, photodynamic treatments have been shown to prevent future skin cancers and treat the redness associated with currently damaged skin. For more intense sun damage, a MicroLaser Peel is a wonderful procedure for removing the sun damaged skin and allowing healthy skin to grow in its place.
- Skincare Products: Our at-home treatment products include SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic, which protects against photoaging by neutralizing free radicals, helping build collagen, and providing unmatched antioxidant protection.
Schedule an appointment today with our physician assistant or aesthetician to learn more about how you can protect your skin from skin cancer and sun damage.
Get a Little Time for Yourself – Celebrate Mother's Day in Style
Mother's Day is fast approaching. Moms of all ages and from all walks of life know that motherhood is one of the most rewarding and enriching experiences of their lives. It's a blessing to have a day dedicated just to recognizing all of your tireless contributions to your family throughout the year.
Premier Plastic Surgery and Acqua Blu want to help you be the most beautiful, confident, radiant, and sparkling woman you can be. Our services range from a quick, relaxing beauty treatment such as one of our signature facials to more advanced surgical alternatives to help you recapture the look and feel of your pre-pregnancy body. In fact, "mommy makeovers" are a growing part of our practice.
A mommy makeover is not a single, standard procedure but is in fact carefully tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient, often combining such procedures as a tummy tuck, breast augmentation, breast lift, and liposuction to create a slimmer, more attractive body with improved tone. You've sacrificed a lot for your family – and you do it gladly to see the joy on their faces and the love in their hearts – but with mommy makeover plastic surgery, sacrificing your looks doesn't have to be part of the equation.
We'd like to wish every mom a Happy Mother's Day and we hope your day is filled with relaxation, affection, and enjoyable activities with your family.
