The promises of a “facelift in a bottle” and “dramatic results after one use” sound amazing! However, we know all too well the disappointment of misleading marketing when it comes to skincare, specifically firming lotions. So, what firming creams actually work? The skin care experts at Belladerm MedSpa are here to highlight our favorite firming products.

Bodifirm™

Bodifirm™ from Revision Skincare is a phenomenal product to add to your whole body skincare regimen. Specifically created to address the body rather than face and neck, Bodifirm™ holds advanced technology to target sagging and crepe-like skin by sculpting the indicated area.

Nectifirm Advanced

Nectifirm Advanced is another of Revision Skincare’s award-winning body products. This age-defying lotion is packed with antioxidants, peptides, and vitamins to visibly lift and smooth the neck and chest. Harnessing the power of the skin’s own microbiome is what sets this product apart. The results speak for themselves and leave us wanting more!

Firm & Tone Lotion

SkinMedica’s Firm & Tone Lotion is powerfully effective at targeting sagging, crepe-like, and dimpled skin. Indicated for use on the under arms and thighs, this product addresses visible signs of aging and leaves skin with a youthful glow. In addition, Firm & Tone Lotion has the key benefits of diminishing the look of uneven skin texture and improves the look of sagging.

Which Firming Product is Best for Me?

While traditional firming products claim to deliver extraordinary results, professional-grade skincare can only be purchased through a licensed retailer for a variety of reasons, inducing efficacy and white-papers to back their claims. Brands such as SkinMedica and Revision Skincare are some of our favorites when looking to obtain real results. Nevertheless, we always recommend scheduling a complimentary consultation with one of our skin-care experts to determine candidacy for the products you are considering.

Summer has come to an end, but the many sunny days we had this summer has your skin looking tired, dry, and damaged. With the seasons changing, you’re medical-grade skin care treatments have the job of refreshing your skin’s glow. Our team of skincare professionals are here to tell you what treatments are best to reverse summer sun damage. Continue reading our blog as we discuss the top three treatments to reverse sun damage.

How Does the Sun Damage Your Skin?

The damage caused to your skin by exposure to sunlight and UV rays is called photoaging. Photoaging is the number one cause of skin aging. These UV rays are split into two different categories; UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays are associated with aging while UVB rays are associated with burning the skin.

Identifying Summer Sun Damage

Photoaging appears in many different forms. The most common skin damage we see includes:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation
• Melasma
• Excess skin elasticity
• Visible broken capillaries
• Rosacea
• Irregular or uneven skin tone

Which Treatments Reverse Summer Damage?

Treatments that encourage cellular turnover and increased collagen productions are the best to pursue when looking to reverse both visible and nonvisible summer sun damage. Our top three recommended treatments to reverse summer sun damage include:

1. Broadband Light Therapy

Broadband light therapy is a gentle laser that works by heating the upper layers of your skin. The heat, which gets absorbed by the targeted areas, stimulates your skin cells to regenerate and restore your skin’s natural beauty. Results can be seen with clearer, smoother, more vibrant, and younger looking skin.

2. RF Microneedling

This state-of-the-art procedure joins radiofrequency and microneedling to restore your skin’s health by administering heat in conjunction with controlled micro-injuries. With RF microneedling by Vivace, your skin texture improves while cellular turnover increases. Skin tone becomes more balanced while fine lines and wrinkles are targeted by the device.

3. Chemical Peels

Belladerm MedSpa offers a variety of chemical peels that whip your skin back into shape. During this treatment, a chemical solution is applied to the affected areas for chemical exfoliation. Consequently, this process reveals new, regenerated skin that is smoother and less wrinkled. Chemical peels are an ideal treatment for a host of skin problems including acne, discolorations, fine lines, and wrinkles.
