Medical Grade Products For Home Skin Care

Have you made it a priority this year to start taking better care of your skin? Maybe you've started to notice a few pesky wrinkles or age spots that you don’t like. Maybe you got your first professional treatment or facial and want to do everything you can to look and feel your best.

Regular professional treatments are very important, but don't overlook the impact that your daily home care routine can have long term.

You should seek the advice of trusted professionals to figure out a potent home skin care regime. Let Advanced Laser Clinic be your trusted professionals.

What you use twice daily on a regular basis will have a huge impact on your skin over time. Our team spends a lot of time studying all the best products so we can advise you on the best course of action.

You'll never hear someone say that they're glad they waited until later in life to start using good skin care. It is always best to start before you experience issues.

Medical grade skin care products are designed to be the most effective. These companies are the only skin care lines that are required to have proof that they actually work.

Medical grade skin care lines have to show their clinical trials and the effectiveness of their formulations. They use better ingredients that can be more easily absorbed and utilized by the skin.

There are several good medical grade lines out there. The two main lines that we carry at Advanced Laser Clinic are SkinCeuticals and Environ.

SkinCeuticals is known for their very popular vitamin C product CE Ferulic. They have an array of different vitamin C products to suit each skin type. Along with other important things your skin needs.

Environ has created their Vitamin A Step Up system and made vitamins usable to all skin types. Adding vitamin A slowly to the skin makes the process very tolerable and even sensitive skin can use this product. Both have options with peptides and antioxidants.

If you need some advice to help wade through all the endless advertisements and skin care suggestions from online influencers, then come see us at Advanced Laser Clinic.

We have extensive knowledge to share with you about our skin care products and what they can do for your skin. Call us today at 417-883-5400 to see what these medical grade lines can do for your skin.

We also specialize in IPL, micro needling and fractional lasering.

These are medical treatments and should be treated as such. As a medical spa we are held to higher standards than your average spa. We also have the advantage of being able to purchase medical grade lasers, unlike non medical spas.

Medical lasers emit a targeted, very specific wavelength of light. Procedures that target the hair follicle need to be performed with precise, medical-grade laser equipment to avoid burning the skin while performing laser hair removal in Springfield Missouri.

IPL is very popular and is used for treatment of skin tone, brown spots and broken capillaries. ResurFX and micro needling are used to address fine lines, texture, and laxity in the skin. We turn to ResurFX in more severe cases or for scarring.

Holiday Specials Triple Cleanse Skin Care

If you're a last minute shopper who is still looking for special gifts for your loved ones or wanting to put your best face forward for holiday gatherings, Advanced Laser Clinic is here to help you look and feel your best.

We have several amazing products specials this December on our skin care product sets including SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid and Environ's Body Combo Kit.

The Professional Triple Cleanse from Environ includes their Pre-Cleansing Oil, Clay Masque, and Cleansing Gel for only $90. At this price, you are getting your Pre-Cleansing Oil free with the added bonus of an Environ headband and cleansing cloth.

Starting with their pre-cleansing oil, this product is designed to deeply clean your skin. You might think of oil more for moisturizing than cleaning, but oil dissolves oil and is a very effective cleanser.

Many people deal with a buildup of sebum in their skin. This pre-cleansing oil helps dissolve the sebum that gets trapped inside your pores. Simply massage it into your skin for 1 to 2 minutes while you focus on any areas of concern.

Next comes their Clay Masque. Environ's Clay Masque is designed to help lift debris and dead skin cells away. This product is mainly kaolin clay.

Clay is an important detox and micro exfoliator to the skin. This clay mask is designed to layer over the pre-cleansing oil. Again, work the product into your skin for 1 to 2 minutes and focus on any areas of concern.

Slight pressure should be used with both products. Push a little harder on the softer areas of your face and in the crevices of the nose.

Last in the triple cleanse lineup of cleansing products is Environ's cleansing gel. Environ has several different cleansers to choose from according to your skin type. This cleansing gel is for normal skin types. It is neither over drying nor too hydrating to the skin.

After working in the pre cleansing oil and the clay mask, with wet fingers you apply this cleansing gel and massage for 1 minute.

Now it is time to wash everything off with water. Your skin is left very clean, smooth, and ready for your potent skin care ingredients.

At Advanced Laser Clinic, we start every facial with this professional triple cleanse. It is the best way to get your skin ready for treatment.

If you or someone in your life loves skin care products and wants to have this professional triple cleanse at home, then come in and pick up this kit today. This $90 special is only good while supplies last!

Get An Early Start On Treatments For Anti-Aging in Springfield Missouri

Get An Early Start On Treatments For Anti-Aging

At Advanced Laser Clinic, our anti-aging treatments are extremely popular, because they deliver amazing results.

One of our top treatments for anti-aging is micro needling. We also use our fractional laser, ResurFX all the time. Another popular anti-aging treatment is our medium depth chemical peel called the Perfect Derma Peel.

What these anti-aging treatments all have in common is that they cause a controlled wound to the skin. This stimulates the body's wound healing response and your skin then creates new collagen and elastin. This is the fiber matrix of the skin. The good stuff that keeps our skin youthful.

Another important tool for anti-aging is our medical grade skin care products. While the treatments we perform in our office are important, the products that you use at home should not be over looked. What you do every day, twice per day can make a huge change in your skin.

If you get regular treatments and follow a great skin care regimen, your skin will start to look better. It will feel better. The key to this is consistency. One treatment will not turn back the hands of time. Using a great product for six months will cause positive change in the skin, but it takes time.

Will you look like you’ve had a facelift? No. The purpose of our anti-aging treatments is for you to look your best. Doing these types of treatments on a consistent basis helps keep your skin in its best shape and allows you to age more gracefully. Most of our clients schedule one or two treatments per season.

If you are a late starter to anti-aging, then you might require a few more sessions. The early you can get started and get in front of the aging process, the less damage needs to be repaired and the longer you can look and feel your best.

Jill started her anti-aging treatments at age 35. Her first treatment was micro-needling with Shelly before she started working at Advanced Laser Clinic. Jill started using the Environ skin care line at age 37 and she has used their products consistently for the last 8 years.

As you might expect, Jill gets all of her anti-aging treatments every year. She likes to mix it up and do some ResurFX, then a micro-needling.

One year she might focus on one specific anti-aging treatment over the others and do several in a row. Jill likes to experiment and find the best combination of anti-aging treatments, so she can pass what she learns on to our clients.

Advanced Laser Clinic would love to be the place where you go one your skincare journey. We have highly trained, friendly staff that is here to help you on your way. We always have free consultations, so you will always understand exactly what you are doing and why. Call us today at 417-883-5400. We are here to help.

Should You Choose IPL or Micro Needling in Springfield Missouri?

Should You Choose IPL or Micro Needling in Springfield Missouri

Should You Choose IPL or Micro Needling?

For our October special, we have packaged our most popular treatments to create a plan for getting your anti-aging jump started and finish with treatments to polish off your look, so you can be even more stunning for the upcoming holidays and events.

Save $55 this month when you purchase an IPL photofacial or micro needling, a Geneo treatment, Dysport, and an eye gel for only $750. This treatment package is the perfect plan for Fall to get your skin looking amazing. We've handpicked our favorite anti-aging treatments to bring you this Fall package.

Some of our clients might wonder how to choose between an IPL photofacial and micro needling in Springfield Missouri. Both treatments are amazing and very popular at Advanced Laser Clinic. The choice comes down to your specific skin needs.

IPL is short for intense pulsed light and is a light therapy that is used to target browns and reds in the skin. If you are dealing with hyperpigmentation, age spots or broken capillaries, then this is the treatment for you.

Downtime for an IPL photofacial is about a week for your skin to get back to normal. The browns and the reds in your skin will be darker and more apparent until it heals below the skin and then sheds away. Some people experience redness and/or swelling along with a sunburn type of feeling in the treated area.

IPL requires two weeks prior and two weeks post procedure with no sun exposure. Regular trips to work or the store are fine while you're avoiding the sun, but no walks out in the sun or weekends on the river.

IPL is a great, almost instant results type of procedure. After the skin heals in about a week, your skin tone will be visibly improved. It’s an amazing treatment.

Micro needling is also an effective treatment. It is just used for different skin issues. If you are dealing with fine lines, texture, scarring, or laxity, then this is the treatment for you.

Micro needling uses a sterile needle cartridge to puncture lots of tiny fine holes in your skin. This process is called a controlled wound. A controlled wound causes the body's wound healing response to kick in.

While the wound heals, collagen, elastin, and the fiber matrix of your skin is stimulated. Sometimes micro needling is called collagen induction therapy because the purpose is of the treatment is to cause your skin to make new collagen.

This is an amazing anti-aging treatment and is great to do one to three times a year.

Micro needling involves about a week of downtime. You'll also need to avoid sun exposure. Your skin will be red, tender and swollen from one to three days.

No product can be used on your skin, except for what we provide, for 24 hours. You'll want to plan on taking a day off and not using any sunscreen or makeup.

After 24 hour hours, these products can be used again, but treat your skin gently for about a week.

Micro needling takes more time to see the full results. Most people start to see results immediately after healing, but the full results take up to three months for the skin to complete the collagen induction process.

If you have any further questions about these procedures, you can call our office at 417-883-5400 and book a free consultation. Our skin experts can help you choose which treatment is best for your skin. Our October anti-aging package special will have you ready and looking for your best for the upcoming holidays.

Should You Choose Waxing Or Laser Hair Removal in Springfield Missouri?

Should You Choose Waxing Or Laser Hair Removal in Springfield Missouri

Should You Choose Waxing Or Laser Hair Removal?

Eventually everyone gets tired of shaving. You might be wondering whether waxing or laser hair removal is the best choice for permanent hair removal. Here's some pros and cons to consider for both options.

Laser treatments will help get rid of hair more long-term. Waxing must be repeated on a regular basis.

Laser hair removal requires an average of 6-8 treatments, and then you are hair free. Laser treatments also quicker with our appointments being much shorter than waxing appointments.

The sensation or pain can be similar for both treatments. But with the sessions being shorter, laser treatments are usually more tolerable.

And you can say goodbye to painful ingrown hairs and razor burn from shaving. Many of our clients get laser hair removal treatments specifically to rid themselves of the hassle and pain of ingrown hairs.

Which Option Is Less Expensive?

Laser hair removal cost is more of an initial investment than waxing. Waxing might seem less expensive than laser hair removal if you compare the price per treatment.

But if you think long term, you could be waxing every few weeks for the rest of your life. That can really add up.

Laser treatments may be more of an initial cost, but they don't need to be done on such a regular basis once your treatments are completed.

Is Waxing Safer Than Laser Hair Removal?

Some people may worry about the safety of laser treatments. This is a valid concern. The wrong equipment in the wrong hands can cause superficial damage to the skin.

Advanced Laser Clinic uses only medical grade lasers and highly trained technicians. This greatly reduces your risk.

Waxing can cause damage to the skin with the heat and/or the technique that is used. It can also cause people to have more of a propensity for ingrown hairs.

Upkeep Of Hair Removal

Waxing requires constant upkeep. Your hair eventually thins and grows back slower after years of waxing. But appointments are still required every three to four weeks.

Laser treatments are the more permanent hair removal option. Once the hair is gone, the only thing that will cause new hair follicles to develop are hormones.

After years go by or after certain hormone therapies, touch ups may be necessary. These touch-ups are very affordable and our clients usually only need one or two.

During the month of September, our laser hair removal packages are 30% off our per treatment prices. You will find our pricing is affordable and competitive for permanent hair removal.

This is the perfect time to start towards being hair free. Call us today at 417-883-5400 to book your free consultation.

Products For Effective Teen Acne Treatment

Being a teenager is challenging enough, but having skin problems to deal with on top of everything else can feel overwhelming. Many teenagers struggle with acne as part of their adolescence.

To help your teenager put their best face forward when school begins this year, Advanced Laser Clinic is running a special during the month of August. We're offering a free peel add on to our facial treatments for teens.

Teen facials with an added peel will definitely get your teen's skin off to a good start. But getting regular skin maintenance is very beneficial to keep your teen's skin clear, nourished, and hydrated to look its best.

Chemical peels are an extra step to help keep the skin clear and exfoliated. Regular exfoliation is very important to acne prone skin. This helps clear away debris that can clog pores and contribute to breakouts.

What your teen does after their treatments is equally as important for effective acne treatment as getting regular clinic treatments. We need to address the products your teen is using, or if they are not using anything at all.

At Advanced Laser Clinic we typically address breakouts with either the Environ Focus Care Clarity+ line, or the Obagi CLENZIderm M.D. Acne Therapeutic System.

Phase 2 - Control: Sebu-Ace oil helps nourish skin with essential vitamins A, C and E. Sebu-Lac lotion assists and improves skin texture and appearance. Sebu-Spot targets and minimizes the appearance of breakouts.

Phase 3 - Clear: Sebu-Clear Masque clears and reduces the appearance of existing breakouts and assists in skin renewal.

Obagi CLENZIderm M.D. Acne Therapeutic System

This complete 3-step system is specifically formulated for oily skin to treat acne where it starts. Their Acne Therapeutic System includes benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid to help with more clear skin.

Cleanziderm MD Pore Therapy is formulated with 2% salicylic acid, core therapy prepares the skin for the next step in the treatment regimen.

TriaWave Facial Sculptor Perfect for Summer Skin Care in Springfield Missouri

TriaWave Facial Sculptor Perfect for Summer Skin Care in Springfield Missouri

TriaWave Facial Sculptor Perfect for Summer Skin Care

Some of our skin care services shouldn't be utilized over the summer. Mostly because you’ll need to avoid sun exposure after a treatment, but heat and lifestyle can also be a deterrent. Any of our skin care treatments that involve lasers aren't a good idea whenever your skin is tan. Tanned skin can be more easily burned by the laser's energy.

It is much easier to avoid the sun and tanned skin during the fall and winter. That is when skin care treatments with lasers should be utilized.

One of our favorite new modalities is the TriaWave Facial Sculptor. This skin rejuvenation treatment does not involve lasers, but instead uses energy currents. These energy currents can be used at any time.

TriaWave can also be used safely over tanned skin. If you are looking for a boost for your skin over the summer, consider a Triawave treatment.

The TriaWave Facial Sculptor lifts and tones your skin using a microcurrent. It also uses sonophoresis and iontophoresis to enhance the targeted product penetration.

Environ’s brilliant combination of anti-aging ingredients can make a big difference in the skin. When used in combination with this modality it even packs a bigger punch.

With options like Focus Care Frown Serum, the newest filler serum, or a super peptide packed serum, you can't go wrong.

If you would like to lighten some newer brown spots from the summer sun, Environ's Intense C-Boost Mela-Even cream can help with that. They have great skin care products available for every skin type and ailment.

Another benefit of the TriaWave treatment is being able to customize different parts of it. If you would like a quick microcurrent neck lift, that is available. If you would like to supercharge your alginate mask, we can add in the iontophoresis.

If you are looking for a pick-me-up for your summer skin, try a TriaWave session instead of a laser treatment or IPL. Look your best for weddings, family events, reunions or a vacation.

Ask us about the TriWave Facial Sculptor the next time you are in. Call Advanced Laser Clinic at 417-883-5400 to schedule an appointment.

Summer Tips For Healthy Skin Care in Springfield Missouri

Summer Tips For Healthy Skin Care in Springfield Missouri

Summer Tips For Healthy Skin Care

Everyone always looks forward to summer with warmer weather and lots of outdoor activities. But summer also brings with it different conditions for your skin to deal with. Heat, humidity, sweating from the sun and sunscreen all affect your skin.

So what should you do differently over the summer to maintain healthy skin care in Springfield Missouri? Certain changes can be pretty simple, like changing from a milk cleanser that you might use in the winter to a gel cleanser that would be more appropriate for summer.

You also might want to change out a heavier moisturizer for a lighter-weight product. Using a cleanser with Alpha hydroxy acids can help keep cellular turnover going to reduce blemishes.

Some people have skin types that require extra exfoliation in the summer. This could be in the form of a light acid peel, or using more friction with a wash rag to exfoliate.

Environ's Hydrating Clay Mask is a very gentle way to exfoliate and detox the skin, and can be used regularly. Cleansing morning and night might be necessary if you sweat more in the warmer temperatures.

Environ's Dual Action Pre-Cleansing Oil is another summertime staple. You might think the last thing oily skin needs is more oil, but oil actually helps dissolve oil, which in turn aids with deep cleansing for your skin. This pre-cleansing oil should be used both in summer and winter.

With heat causing more sweating and additional sun exposure, this leads to more sunscreen usage. This combination can lead to more breakouts for a lot of people.

At Advanced Laser Clinic we take a break from most of our corrective anti-aging procedures over the summer due to the increased sun exposure. We instead focus more on deep cleansing and light peeling of the skin.

Manual extractions will help to keep your skin clear and are included in all of our facials.

There are several treatments that can still be utilized over the summer. Eyebrow shaping, lash lifting and tinting, permanent makeup, Geneo, Tri-Wave, and facials are all great things to continue during the summer.

If you need recommendations for healthy summer skin care, call Advanced Laser Clinic at 417-883-5400. Our trained staff can help keep your skin healthy and radiant all year long.
