4 Things to Know About Lasers

Posted on by Mcfarland-ClientWP
Tricia, our laser technician using the Fraxel Laser.

We strive to make the beauty and science of skincare understandable and accessible for everyone. Whether you’re considering a Fraxel laser treatment or exploring the range of solutions offered by our Advalight laser, we’re here to ensure you have the information you need to make the best decision for your skin! 

1. Understanding the Different Types of Lasers

The first step to navigating laser skin treatments is understanding the variety of lasers and their specific applications. The Fraxel laser, known for its effectiveness in treating wrinkles, fine lines, skin pigmentation, and acne scars, is a type of fractional laser that stimulates your skin’s natural healing process to promote the production of new, healthy skin cells.

Our Advalight laser system provides a range of targeted treatments. AM Red Clear focuses on treating vascular issues like capillaries and rosacea. AM Acne Clear targets the bacteria causing acne, reducing inflammation and redness, and AM Glow uses light energy to rejuvenate your skin and boost collagen production, leaving you with a youthful, radiant appearance.

2. What to Expect During Treatment

Each type of laser treatment that we offer has a unique experience. While Fraxel treatments might require a few days of downtime due to the healing process, Advalight treatments come with little to no downtime at all. In order to achieve the best results, multiple sessions of the Advalight laser are most likely needed. At Ashley McFarland Aesthetics, we’ll guide you through what to expect from your specific treatment plan!

3. Preparing for Your Laser Treatment

Regardless of the type of laser treatment you choose, preparing your skin is crucial. This typically involves avoiding sun exposure, tanning, and certain skincare products. We will provide you with a tailored skincare regimen to ensure your skin is in the best possible condition before your treatment. It’s so important to prep to get the best results from these amazing lasers! 

4. Post-Treatment Care Matters

After your laser treatment, following the proper aftercare instructions is key to achieving optimal results and preventing complications. This involves avoiding sun exposure, applying prescribed creams or lotions, and keeping the treated area clean and moisturized. Our team will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions tailored to your specific treatment.

At Ashley McFarland Aesthetics, we are so proud to offer both Fraxel and Advalight laser treatments! With these powerful tools, we’re able to address a wide range of skin concerns, ensuring you get the best possible results. 

If you have more questions or want to schedule a consultation, don’t hesitate to get in touch with our team. We’re here to guide you on your journey to better skin!

Get to Know Our Night Magic Serum with Retinoids

Posted on by Mcfarland-ClientWP
Our AM Skin Collection Night Magic Serum, created by our founder – Ashley McFarland. Incorporating a product like our Night Magic Serum with Retinoids into your routine can help support these natural processes, ensuring that your skin stays radiant, resilient, and youthful.

Picture this: you wake up, run your fingers over your face, and feel a surface that is smooth, supple, and bouncy. Sounds like a dream, doesn’t it? For many, this dream can become reality with the magic of retinoids, a true powerhouse in the realm of skincare. Retinoids are not only acclaimed for their skin-transforming benefits, but they are also the star ingredient in our AM Skin Collection Night Magic Serum with Retinoids. Ready to transform your skin? Let’s start your journey to glowing, healthy skin with the magic of retinoids.

Demystifying Retinoids

Retinoids, derived from vitamin A, have stood the test of time in the world of dermatology and skincare, holding their own amongst an ever-evolving roster of ingredients. But what exactly are retinoids and why are they so impactful?

Retinoids are potent compounds that promote cell turnover and collagen production. In essence, they help your skin shed dead cells more efficiently and replace them with fresh, new cells. This promotes a smoother skin surface, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and can even help combat acne. Retinoids also help boost collagen, a protein that provides structural support to your skin. This leaves you with skin that’s not just glowing, but also firmer and more resilient.

How Do Retinoids Work?

Retinoids work on a deep, cellular level. They essentially “communicate” with your skin cells, sending signals to accelerate the growth of new cells while eliminating the old ones. Additionally, retinoids also hinder the breakdown of collagen, which is often responsible for the onset of visible aging signs. By ensuring the health and vitality of your skin’s cells and supporting collagen integrity, retinoids help keep your skin youthful and vibrant.

Why Try the AM Skin Collection Night Magic Serum?

If you’re ready to give retinoids a try, there’s no better way to start than with our AM Skin Collection Night Magic Serum. It’s a meticulously formulated serum that harnesses the power of retinoids, combined with other essential ingredients, to optimize their skin-rejuvenating benefits.

Our Night Magic Serum includes a retinoid that is gentle yet effective, making it suitable for those who are just starting to incorporate this powerful ingredient into their routine. We understand that every skin type is unique, and while retinoids have an array of benefits, they can also be potent. That’s why our Night Magic Serum includes calming and moisturizing ingredients to soothe and hydrate your skin.

The magic doesn’t stop there. Our serum also boasts antioxidants, which provide an additional layer of defense against environmental aggressors that contribute to aging. This synergistic blend of ingredients creates a powerful, yet balanced, formula that caters to a broad spectrum of skin types and concerns.

Taking Your Skin Health Seriously with the Night Magic Serum

Your skin is a living, breathing organ, and like the rest of your body, it deserves care and attention. As you age, your natural cell turnover and collagen production slow down. Incorporating a product like our Night Magic Serum into your routine can help support these natural processes, ensuring that your skin stays radiant, resilient, and youthful.

Remember, the path to healthy skin isn’t a sprint—it’s a marathon. Consistency is key when using retinoids. Over time, you’ll start to see a visible transformation in your skin’s texture, tone, and overall health.

Experience the magic of retinoids and our Night Magic Serum today and embark on your journey towards a more confident and glowing you. After all, there’s nothing more magical than feeling comfortable and beautiful in your own skin.

The Beauty of Fillers: Why They’re Amazing

Posted on by Mcfarland-ClientWP

In the ever-evolving world of aesthetics, a gamut of rejuvenating treatments promises to rewind time and restore youthful radiance. But today, we’re going to spotlight one that’s truly made its mark: dermal fillers.

Yes, fillers have been the talk of the town, the belle of the ball, the pièce de résistance in countless skincare regimes, and for good reason. They’re versatile, they’re effective, and they might just be your skin’s next best friend. Here’s why fillers are amazing.

1. Instant Gratification

One of the most thrilling aspects of fillers is the immediacy of results. You can walk into a clinic with sagging skin or thin lips and walk out an hour later with the plump, youthful look you’ve been yearning for. There’s no waiting game, no ‘patience is a virtue’ — just instant gratification.

2. Versatility Galore

Whether it’s plumping thin lips, softening facial creases, improving the appearance of recessed scars, or even enhancing shallow contours, fillers can do it all. The versatility of fillers is truly astounding, making them a favorite go-to solution for numerous aesthetic concerns.

3. Non-Surgical and Minimally Invasive

A major concern for many when it comes to cosmetic treatments is the prospect of surgery. Fortunately, fillers are non-surgical and minimally invasive, requiring only a few strategic injections to deliver remarkable results. That means less downtime, less risk, and less worry.

4. Gradual and Controlled Improvement

While some aesthetic procedures can lead to drastic changes, fillers offer the ability to make gradual improvements over time. You have complete control over the volume of filler used, enabling you to better manage your transformation. This helps to ensure that the results are natural-looking, and you remain recognizably you.

5. Long-Lasting, But Not Permanent

The effects of fillers can last anywhere from six months to over a year, depending on the type used and the area treated. While this longevity is certainly a plus, what’s even more appealing is that fillers are not permanent. If you’re unhappy with the results, or you simply want to change your look, your body will naturally break down and absorb the filler over time. Or we can use Hylenex to the filler, and immediately dissolve the filler.

6. Confidence Boost

Perhaps the most invaluable benefit of fillers is the confidence boost they can provide. When you look in the mirror and see a version of yourself that feels fresh, youthful, and vibrant, it can dramatically improve your self-esteem. After all, when you look good, you feel good, and there’s nothing quite like the radiant glow of self-confidence.

One Last Word…

The magic of fillers lies in their ability to offer immediate and versatile enhancement with minimal intervention. It’s a testament to the wonders of modern cosmetic science, and here at Ashley McFarland Aesthetics, we’re thrilled to see how they continue to revolutionize the aesthetics industry.

Until next time, keep glowing!
