February Special On TriaWave Microcurrent Facial in Springfield Missouri

Our February Special On TriaWave Microcurrent Facials

Advanced Laser Clinic is excited to introduce our newest facial treatment. It’s the TriaWave facial sculptor from Environ. This treatment specifically targets laxity in the skin. It performs this skin rejuvenation by using a combination of three modalities: low frequency sound waves, pulsed iontophoresis and third generation microcurrent.

These dynamic therapies energize the muscles and cells of the epidermis and dermis all while creating super absorption of key powerful topical medical products.

The Microcurrent lifts and strengthens the appearance of your skin. The Sonophoresis enhances the delivery of the Environ topical products. And the Iontophoresis delivers increased product effectiveness.

A full hour and a half TriaWave session is normally $165. But with our introductory price for the month of February you can save $20. Or you can purchase a series of six TriaWave treatments for $750 bringing your price per session down to only $125.

The TriaWave Microcurrent Facial uses the latest in electrotherapeutic technology to offer clients a non-invasive solution for facial toning. It utilizes state-of-the-art technology to firm and lift the appearance of the skin while enhancing the efficacy of beneficial topical ingredients. This unique aesthetic technology offers non-invasive, cutting edge, results-driven treatments to dramatically enhance the appearance of a variety of skin concerns.

The TriaWave microcurrent facial works by literally exercising the muscles of the face and neck. With a series of treatments, you can dramatically improve the look of jowls, turkey neck, droopy eyelids and more. Using energy to treat your face and neck is a powerful weapon against the aging process. The trick is to use it, and use it often.

With the TriaWave microcurrent facial you can improve the quality of your skin and muscles of your entire face and neck. Not just one little area.

Similar to exercise, the more you do it, the better your results. The TriaWave microcurrent facial uses electrical impulses to exercise and strengthen the muscles of your face and neck.

Also known as the nonsurgical face-lift, a TriaWave microcurrent facial diminishes signs of aging, improves your face contour, and brightens your complexion.

  • Reduces fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Helps to slow down and replenish the loss of natural collagen in your skin.
  • Retrains your facial muscles for improved facial contour.
  • Increases blood circulation to the face while reducing facial puffiness.
  • Provides immediate results with a cumulative effect from multiple treatments.

The TriaWave treatment lets our Environ serums penetrate more deeply to dramatically enhance the look, feel, and appearance of your skin. The microcurrent targets muscle strength to lift the skin and re-educates the muscles to reveal a tighter appearance.

This treatment works with your body and uses a gentle electrical current and sound waves to improve the quality of your skin and muscles. With this technology and the professional strength serums created by Environ Skincare, it is customizable to each individual.

Let our machine do all the work. You get to relax and be pampered all while getting your skin super charged.

If this sounds like the treatment for you, call us to book your TriaWave treatment or a series of treatments today and take advantage of our special February introductory pricing.

Give The Gift of Anti-Aging in Springfield Missouri

Give The Gift of Anti-Aging

If you're looking for the perfect gift for someone special on your holiday list, the Environ Holiday Skin Serenity Set is a great way to celebrate beautifully and turn back the hands of time so you can look and feel your best.

This amazing set has a powerful combination of two effective anti-aging skin care products and a cosmetic home roller. The new Malachite-NP Complex Serience Night Serum and the tried and true Focus Frown Serum make up this peptide packed duo of skin rejuvenation products.

Purchased separately, the normal price of all three products is $372. But the Environ Holiday Skin Serenity Set is only $212. That is a great deal.

Both of these powerful skin care products are targeted specifically for anti-aging. Peptides are the most potent ingredient to anti-age the skin. Peptides are expensive ingredients because they are so potent. Add cosmetic rolling and your skin will be able to absorb about 70% more of these amazing ingredients.

The new Malachite-NP Complex Serience Night Serum was newly launched this summer by Environ and is designed to de-stress the skin and help combat cortisol in the skin. This will help your skin look less fatigued and visibly enhance its luminosity. This leaves your skin looking more relaxed, youthful and glowing.

With Malachite extract, and the neuro-peptides, Neurophroline, Argireline Amplified, and Matrixl Morophomics, this Malachite-NP Complex Serience Night Serum is one powerful treatment.

The Focus Frown serum is one of our favorite targeted products. This treatment is a combination of three wrinkle fighting peptides.

Argireline, Leuphasyl, and Vialox all work synergistically to minimize deep frown lines caused by expression. This combo works to soften the muscle activity around the eyes and forehead. Even if you are getting injections this will help them last longer by lessening the muscle contracture.

Using the Cosmetic Roll CIT with these products will improve your results dramatically. This home microneedling device increases the penetration of topical active ingredients making them far more effective. By poking tiny little holes in the skin, you bypass your skin's main function of being a barrier.

If you would like to know more or you're ready to purchase this money saving holiday package for yourself or someone special on your holiday list, then come see us at Advanced Laser Clinic before they sell out.

What Is The Perfect Derma Peel Chemical Peel in Springfield Missouri

What Is The Perfect Derma Peel Chemical Peel in Springfield Missouri

What Is The Perfect Derma Peel Chemical Peel?

The Perfect Derma Peel is different than the light 4-6 week chemical peels that we use regularly. This is a medium depth peel, meaning that is affects more than just the epidermis. Medium depth chemical peels penetrate and remove the upper dermal layers of the skin.

The Perfect Derma Peel is made up of four different acids: Trichloroacetic (TCA), retinoic, salicylic and kojic. This chemical peel also contains Vitamin C and glutathione, one of the body’s most important and potent anti-oxidants. This treatment is great for those wanting to improve skin tone and texture of their skin for a smoother and brighter complexion.

The Perfect Derma Peel offers noticeable improvement for several skin concerns:

  • It lightens the skin by removing dull skin and revealing healthier tissue.
  • It improves skin tone caused by sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and Melasma.
  • It can help slow the signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles.
  • This peel stimulates collagen to produce firmer skin.

The Perfect Derma Peel is a quick, in-office application. We will prep your skin, then apply the peel. It will need to remain on your skin for 6 hours or even kept on your skin overnight for a more intense peel.

Peeling will begin around the third day and can be moderate to intense peeling. Your skin is usually back to normal in about a week. UV exposure needs to be avoided during this time. Sunscreen of 30 needs to be applied daily. This treatment can be repeated two to four times, spaced at least four weeks apart.

Many of our patients at Advanced Laser Clinic opt for this treatment as opposed to others, if they have an allergy to topical numbing agents, because your skin doesn’t require numbing for this treatment. Some of our clients can’t tolerate other treatments.

The Perfect Derma Peel is relatively low on pain and burning sensation. And some of our clients skin can’t be treated with heat. The Perfect Derma Peel does not involve heat or light, so it is safe for most skin types and issues.

If this medium depth peel interests you, call Advanced Laser Clinic at 417-883-5400 for more information. Consultations are always free.

Combat Covid Hair Loss With Platelet Rich Plasma Treatments in Springfield Missouri

Our July Special On PRP For Hair Loss Using Platelet Rich Plasma

Combat Covid Hair Loss With Platelet Rich Plasma Treatments

Many people who have battled Covid-19 during the pandemic have faced long-term health issues including brain fog, fatigue, headaches, dizziness and shortness of breath.

But another side effect that you may not have heard about is the number of people who are dealing with hair loss. Both men and women are noticing significant hair loss months after recovering from the virus.

You can’t underestimate what stress does to our bodies. The CDC says that the hair loss can be a long-term effect of COVID and is consistent with a condition called telogen effluvium. This condition is where high levels of stress trigger hair follicles to move into the shedding or telogen phase resulting in significant loss of hair.

The CDC has reported that men and women are experiencing telogen effluvium two to four months after they have recovered from COVID-19. The good news is that this type of hair loss is often temporary, but can take several months to resolve and there is no guarantee that the hair will grow back as full and thick as it was before.

There are several medical options that can help facilitate the regrowth of hair faster and slow down the shedding process. These include oral supplements like Votesse or Nutrafol, topical applications such as Minodoxil, and the newest treatment is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections to the scalp.

PRP is taken from your own blood in the office by our nursing staff. After a blood draw is done it is then spun down to achieve a highly concentrated amount of Platelet Rich Plasma. The PRP is then injected back into the scalp where hair is occurring. The improvement for many people is noticeable in one to two months. Multiple treatments can be done for further improvement.

If you have experienced hair loss after recovering from Covid-19, give Advanced Laser Clinic a call. We do free consultations to see if Platelet Rich Plasma treatments would be right for you.

The Power of Peptides For Healthy Skin Care in Springfield Missouri

The Power of Peptides For Healthy Skin Care in Springfield Missouri

The Power of Peptides For Healthy Skin Care

At Advanced Laser Clinic, we are passionate about skin care. Many of our clients already know about our great skin care treatments, but another huge component of having great looking skin is your at-home regimen.

The reason your at-home routine is so important is because you do it more often. If you’re using great skin care products that incorporate high powered medical ingredients twice a day on a regular basis, then this can really have a positive impact on your skin.

Many of our clients have heard us raving about one of our favorite skin care product lines called Environ. Environ is a line of skin changing products that come to us from South Africa, developed by Dr. Des Fernandes, a world-renowned plastic surgeon.

The Environ skin care range was first formulated as a result of Dr. Fernandes' unsettling experience when he attempted to treat melanoma of two young patients, who both died before they were 23 years old.

This traumatizing experience left an indelible scar on him. So he started to study the mechanism of skin cancer and the effects of topical application of vitamins, especially vitamin A, on the skin. As a result of these studies, Environ was born.

Environ has the best delivery system for vitamin A that is effective and gentle enough to be used on the skin twice a day. There are many wonderful products from Environ, but we’re especially excited about their super peptide serum called Tri-peptide Complex Avance DFP312.

What Are Peptides And Why Do I Need Them?

Peptides are compounds made up of amino acids. They are smaller than protein and found in every cell in the human body. They send signals to your cells to produce more collagen. Collagen is one of the major building blocks of healthy skin and more is better in this case.

Environ Tri-peptide Complex is a luxurious product containing a trio of peptide complexes that assist in maintaining the appearance of the skin’s youthfulness by giving it an age-defying boost.

It is targeted to improve the appearance of lax skin, uneven tones and wrinkled skin. It gives the look of increased volume, smaller pores and smoother, more radiant skin. This at-home product enhances your non-invasive clinical treatments.

How Do I Use This Product? Where Does It Fit In With My Other Environ Products?

Start by pre-cleansing and cleansing with your preferred Environ products. Next, apply Tri-Peptide Complex and massage it into your skin morning and/or evening before moisturizing with your recommended Environ Vitamin A enriched moisturizer.

Cosmetic needling prior to application of the Tri-Peptide Complex is recommended for advanced Environ users.

To achieve healthy younger skin, you should consider adding this product to your Environ basics.

If you have questions about Environ Tri-peptide Complex, other Environ skin care products or have any other skin care questions in general, the team at Advanced Laser Clinic is always available to answer any questions on the best skin care products for giving you beautiful, healthy skin.

Sunscreen Protects Skin And Prevents Wrinkles in Springfield Missouri

Sunscreen Protects Skin And Prevents Wrinkles in Springfield Missouri

Sunscreen Protects Skin And Prevents Wrinkles

Now that warmer weather is finally here, many of us look forward to spending more time outdoors soaking up the sun. But with that warmer, stronger sun comes additional radiation than can damage your skin and your health.

May is Skin Cancer Awareness month and with over 5 million cases diagnosed in the United State each year, skin cancer is America’s most common type of cancer. Luckily, skin cancer is also one of the most preventable forms of cancer.

About 90 percent of non-melanoma skin cancers and 85 percent of melanoma cases are associated with sun exposure. Talking and sharing facts about the danger of unprotected exposure and encouraging people to check their skin regularly will help save lives.

One big step we can all do to protect our skin and our health is by wearing sunscreen. We have several great sunscreen products to choose from at Advanced Laser Clinic. The key to protecting your skin is finding the right sunscreen for you. This can be a difficult task, because there are so many to choose from.

But when you find the right sunscreen, you will find it much easier to use it on a daily basis. This not only protects you from skin cancer, but it can help with anti aging and cut down on age spots and wrinkles.

There are two main types of sunscreen: chemical and physical block. Chemical sunscreens absorb UV rays, convert those rays into heat, and releases them from the body. Their active ingredients are typically avobenzone, octinoxate and oxybenzone.

Physical sunscreens sit on top of your skin and reflect the sun’s harmful rays. These topical sunscreens usually contain zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide. At Advanced Laser Clinic, we prefer using physical sun block.

For daily sunscreen use on the face, we recommend SkinCeuticals physical or matte fusion, or the tinted primer from GLO. Both are physical blocks and are tinted to hide the whiteness from the zinc or titanium. They provide wonderful protection and also look great on your skin. These sunscreens can be used under or in place of your makeup.

Protecting your face is easy to do all year long, once you find a sunscreen that you love and create a habit. This is such an important step for your skin. Not only can you help prevent certain skin cancer, but it’s also great for anti-aging and preventing other types of damage to your skin that can cause pre-mature aging and wrinkles.

If you would like to protect your skin and help prevent age spots and wrinkles with any of our suncreens offered by Advanced Laser Clinic, we would love to let you try them out. Call today and let us help you find your favorite sunscreen.

Reflections On 18 Years Of Laser Hair Removal in Springfield Missouri

Reflections On 18 Years Of Laser Hair Removal in Springfield Missouri

Reflections On 18 Years Of Laser Hair Removal

Advanced Laser Clinic first opened our doors in March of 2003 as the first medical spa that offered laser hair removal in Springfield Missouri. Since then we have expanded our services to offer many new and exciting skin care and cosmetic procedures, but the one constant that Advanced Laser Clinic is known for is being the original experts in laser hair removal.

When she first opened the business in 2003, owner Shelly Baker enlisted Roberta “Bert” Riley to help her introduce a whole new concept in the world of permanent hair removal to Springfield Missouri. Bert had a previous background in electrolysis, so she knew what an upgrade laser technology would be for the process of permanent hair removal.

Bert was excited to be able to share and educate our clients about this procedure and she continues to have a passion for helping our clients look and feel their best. For our 18th anniversary, we sat down with Bert to discuss the changes that she’s seen from those early days and why she’s still so passionate about providing this service.

How Has Laser Hair Removal Evolved Since 2003?

When we first started in 2003, Shelly and I spent the majority of our time explaining and educating everyone on the concept of how laser hair removal works, because no one had really heard of this procedure before. We originally had to convince people to try it by giving away a few laser hair removal treatments just to show our clients how wonderful it was.

Now in 2021 almost everyone has heard of laser hair removal and are more familiar with its proven results, which makes our job a little easier.

The process of permanent hair removal has not really changed since the beginning, but our lasers have. I am proud to be part of a clinic that wants to have the most up to date and cutting-edge technology when it comes to facial hair removal.

Our FDA approved lasers get the very best results for our clients and we are proud of that.

What Has Stayed The Same Over The Years?

I am proud to say that the one thing that hasn’t changed over the years is our pricing. Permanent hair removal is an investment and we do not take that lightly. We want our clients to have the best result from their investment. I have always said “Paying too much for laser hair removal won’t leave you with less hair. It will only leave you with less money”.

In 2003, we were the only ones in town offering this service. Now there are several of us out there. We still feel we are the best, of course, but with so many options to choose from now, it is up to potential client to do their homework and understand why there is such a price difference.

Another thing that remains the same is that we always give you the exact pricing up front over the phone or in person. We have no hidden costs and encourage everyone to take advantage of our free consultations so they can make the best decision for their investment in permanent hair removal.

What Sets Advanced Laser Clinic Apart In The Laser Hair Removal Field?

Our experience. Shelly and I having been doing this for 18 years. We have excellent laser technicians who are certified and trained by us.

We also have a one-year written guarantee which sets us apart. Our laser hair removal program is a six treatment program, but not all people are done in six treatments.

With our guarantee, we can do free touch up treatments for one year to achieve better results. We also have a maintenance program if you need any further treatment beyond that year at a minimal cost.

Another thing that sets us apart is the way we do business. We strive to be honest and hold ourselves to a high standard of integrity and this makes me proud. We never promise more than we can deliver. If we can’t help someone meet their goals, we will refer them to someone who can.

We are so glad that Bert is part of our Advanced Laser Clinic team. If you would like more information about our laser hair removal program, please call us at 417-883-5400. Bert would love to have the opportunity to do a free consultation, so you can decide if permanent hair removal at Advanced Laser Clinic is the right choice for you.

Common Retinol Vitamin A Myths For Skin Care in Springfield Missouri

Common Retinol Vitamin A Myths For Skin Care in Springfield Missouri

Common Retinol Vitamin A Myths For Skin Care

Retinol and Vitamin A are often talked about as being key ingredients in advanced skin care. This information can often be confusing and it’s hard to know where to start. The following are the top four Retinol Vitamin A myths that need to be busted.

Vitamin A Thins The Skin

Regular use of Vitamin A actually compacts the stratum corneum and thickens the epidermis. This means that Vitamin A thickens the skin to produce more healthy, younger looking skin. It also influences epidermal stem cells to mature into healthy layers of the epidermis and improve your skin care.

Vitamin A Is Used To Peel The Skin

The key role of Retinol is not to peel the skin. Vitamin A is used to anti-age and normalize the skin. The peeling effect will vary greatly on the type used.

The two main types are retinoic acid and retinyl palmitate. Retinoic acid or Retin-A is the acid form of vitamin A. Retinyl Palmitate is a fat soluble form of vitamin A. As you might imagine, the acid form can be much harsher and can cause the skin to peel out of irritation.

Few products use the fat form and opt for the traditional acid form. Retinyl Palmitate makes using vitamin A much easier and gives less peeling and irritation of the skin.

Vitamin A Causes Skin Inflammation

Along with the type of Retinol being used, you also need to consider the strength. If the skin is exposed to high levels of Vitamin A too quickly, a retinoid reaction can occur. This can look like small bumps, redness, itching, and redness.

This is the due to the strength and type of retinol used. This can be avoided by introducing Vitamin A gradually into your skin care routine with Environ's Vitamin A Step-Up System.

Vitamin A Can Only Be Used In The Evening

Retinols themselves are sensitive to light. This is why they should be packaged to not be exposed to light, or air. But using Vitamin A on the skin during the day is just fine. It will not make the skin more prone to sunburn.

Clinical studies have shown that retinoids do not lower the Minimal Erythema Dose (MED) of skin, which is the amount of UV light you can take before the skin burns.

If you are wanting information about effective, easy to use form of Vitamin A, we have it. Environ’s formulations containing Vitamin A really dispels all of these common myths.

If you are struggling with your brand of Retinol and are ready to find one that is effective and that your skin likes, come and talk to us about Environ. This amazing product line makes getting one of the most important skin care essentials much easier. Call Advanced Laser Clinic 417-883-5400 to get more information.

Our Medical Grade Products For Skin Care in Springfield Missouri

Our Medical Grade Products For Skin Care in Springfield Missouri

Our Medical Grade Products For Skin Care

Advanced Laser Clinic has an array of great and effective medical grade skin care products for the face and body. It can be hard to navigate through the vast amount of skin care products out there. Even as skincare professionals, there are still skin care products and brands out there that we have never heard of.

There are many claims made by these companies. Do we just believe their marketing? Do we try each and every one to see the results for ourselves? Or do we turn to our trusted skincare gurus to do all that work for us?

All the skincare products that we offer at Advanced Laser, we personally use and love. Our staff has spent years researching and hours of training finding what we think are the best, most effective skin care products out there. A few of the lines we use and carry are SkinCeuticals, Environ, Glo Skin Beauty, and Baby Foot.

SkinCeuticals is a medical skincare line that was founded in 1997 by Sheldon Pinnell, MD, and Russell Moon. These products are based on combinations of topical antioxidants serums.

Their philosophy centers on three main pillars: Prevent, Protect and Correct. These principals work together to provide the healthiest skin possible, and optimal anti-aging results. A few of the most popular are CE Ferulic and Physical Fusion.

Environ is another medical skincare line that was developed in South Africa by Dr. Des Fernandes. After seeing too many skin cancer deaths, Dr. Fernandes was on a quest to make the skin healthier and more UV resistant.

Environ believes that skin has life and Vitamin A is the “oxygen” it needs to look beautiful and healthy for life. Vitamin A is the cornerstone ingredient in the Environ skincare philosophy. Environ introduced the Step-Up System to gradually introduce Vitamin A to the skin and sequentially add more in each level as the skin gets acclimated to using it. This makes it easy and comfortable to get high levels of effective Vitamin A into the skin on a daily basis.

Glo Skin Beauty is a very clean line of mineral makeup. Their formulas use only the best ingredients and ultra-fine minerals in a triple-millled process. This ensures that each application provides even, continuous coverage that lasts. Glo formulations deliver unsurpassed coverage with UV protection. Our favorite Glo product is their tinted primer. With a 30 SPF, it gives great coverage in a silky mattifying preparation.

Baby Foot is a peel specifically designed for the feet. Baby Foot combines 16 natural extracts. Together, these manage to hydrate your skin and exfoliate at the same time. This helps to remove all the extra dead skin and minimize calluses that build up on your feet. Caution: This product really works. Be ready to peel!

As you can see, we have done our research. We offer all of these great skin care products and more. Our staff uses and believes in all the skin care products that we offer to you. If you would like more information, please give us a call at 417-883-5400. Consultations are always free.
