WHAT IS A CHEMICAL PEEL?Chemical peels vary in strength and the right peel for you will depend on your aesthetic goals and the quality and tone of your skin. Peels help to remove dead skin cells, clear pores and give your skin a fresh appearance. Combined with an at-home skincare regimen tailored to your skin type, periodic chemical peels can ensure your skin remains nourished and refreshed year-round. Our estheticians will help to determine what chemical peel is best for your skin. LUX offers peels for every skin type. 6

WHAT IS BBL?BBL is the ultimate anti-aging skin treatment. Contrary to popular belief, lotions and creams cannot penetrate the skin's surface the way BBL can. This means no matter how high the quality of the ingredients are, they cannot reach the deepest layers of the skin where much of the aging process happens.BBL is the world’s most powerful Broad Band Light treatment. It is setting new standards in treating skin conditions associated with living an active lifestyle, aging, and sun damage. BBL treats age and sun spots, small facial veins and many other skin conditions. Dr.Larsen and his team will create a treatment plan tailored to match your skin type and your desired results. BBL can address such skin concerns as freckles, age spots, rosacea, acne, unwanted hair, aging, skin, and even loss of rmness.8

HOW MANY TREATMENTS ARE NEEDED?BBL can rejuvenate your skin by removing layers of sun damage in just a few sessions. BBL is an innovative treatment that sends light deep into the skin. The number of treatments will vary from patient to patient and the level of improvement you desire. Most patients obtain optimal results with 3-4 sessions. BBL is a service that can be scheduled yearly for ongoing maintenance. WHAT DOES IT TREAT?With BBL Corrective, the light energy stimulates cells to regenerate. Typically, after the rst treatment, you will begin to notice smoother, more even, and vibrant skin. The photo-thermal energy will eliminate ne vessels that cause redness. This can reduce unwanted melanin that produces age and sunspots. Your skin will feel smoother, ne lines and pores will be less noticeable. Sunspots and underlying sun damage can be treated. Uneven pigmentation fades, so it can effectively treat conditions like redness or rosacea, and even broken blood vessels and acne. BBL is the best place to start if you are new to light therapy. 9

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT? BBL is an innovative treatment that sends light deep into the skin causing dermal renewal, boosting your skin's ability to heal, regenerate, and produce collagen. BBL is atreatment to even out skin tone, remove unwanted pigmentation, and clear acne. This quick, non-invasive treatment is performed with little to no downtime and offers incredible results. The results can start to become visible after the rst session and patients will see younger skin year after year. This service is popular among both male and female patients and can benet anyone who has experienced sun damage over the course of their life.WHAT IS MICRONEEDLING?Microneedling is an effective and popular esthetic treatment. It works by stimulating your skin into producing more collagen. The Skinpen, the only microneedling device approved by the FDA, uses tiny pinpricks to create micro-injuries to the skin. As the skin recovers, you will notice the improvement in tone and texture of your complexion.As we age, it’s normal for our skin to lose elasticity and produce less collagen. By en-couraging skin to regenerate and produce more collagen, microneedling effectively reduces the appearance of ne lines and wrinkles, age spots, and acne scarring. 10

Page 11

HOW MANY TREATMENTS ARE NEEDED? A series of three treatments done 30 days apart is recom-mended for optimal results. However, our estheticians will assess your skin and make recommendations based on your specic needs and goals.WHAT DOES IT TREAT?Microneedling is commonly used for minimizing ne lines and wrinkles, correcting unevenness in skin tone, reducing pore size, as well as treating acne scars and has even been shown to reduce stretch marks.
