CONTRIBUTED CONTENT — Your skin faces a host of unique challenges during the summer months, including increased sun exposure, sweat, heat and dehydration. Therefore, it’s essential to pay extra attention to your face and provide it with the care it deserves. 

Patients of all ages visit Desert Sands Aesthetics & Laser, Southern Utah’s state-of-the-art medical spa, to restore their natural beauty with the help of nonsurgical and noninvasive therapies. 

“It’s never too early to think about sun damage, especially in a hot and dry climate like St. George,” owner Shannon Evans said. “By being proactive with your skin care, you can slow the aging process and potentially ward off future issues.” 

Worried about discomfort? Think again. More invasive treatments are very relaxing due to comfort sedation by Dr. Eric Evans, a board-certified anesthesiologist. As the only medical spa in the area offering this premium service, it’s no surprise that Desert Sands Aesthetics & Laser won gold for aesthetics during the 2023 and 2022 Best of Southern Utah along with silver for med spa in 2021.  

Incorporating advanced treatments like microneedling, eTwo rejuvenation and dermaplaning into your skin care routine can offer numerous benefits for your skin’s health and appearance. In this article, Desert Sands Aesthetics & Laser explores the significance of these treatments and how they can help you maintain a glowing, youthful complexion all summer long.

Microneedling

Also known as collagen induction therapy, microneedling is a non-invasive treatment that involves the use of tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing response, promoting the production of collagen and elastin. 

Microneedling is particularly beneficial during the summer months. The micro-channels created during treatment allow for better penetration of skincare products, enabling deeper nourishment and hydration. This can counteract the drying effects of the sun and help maintain optimal skin moisture. 

Sun exposure increases melanin production, which often results in uneven skin tone and dark spots. Microneedling can help reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation by promoting cellular turnover and encouraging the growth of new, healthy skin cells.

Microneedling boosts collagen and elastin production to help improve the skin’s texture and minimize the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and scars. This treatment can provide a smoother, more youthful complexion, making it an excellent choice for rejuvenating sun-damaged skin.

eTwo rejuvenation

eTwo rejuvenation combines the power of two advanced technologies, radiofrequency energy and fractional laser resurfacing, to target various skin concerns. 

Radiofrequency energy stimulates the production of new collagen and tightens existing collagen fibers, resulting in improved skin elasticity and firmness. This can counteract the loss of elasticity caused by sun exposure to help keep your skin looking tight and toned. 

The fractional laser component of the treatment targets pigmentation irregularities and sun spots, revealing a more even and radiant skin tone. This can help combat the effects of sun damage, leaving you with clearer and brighter skin.

eTwo rejuvenation also helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by stimulating collagen remodeling. It minimizes crow’s feet, forehead lines and nasolabial folds, resulting in a smoother, more rejuvenated complexion.

Dermaplaning 

Dermaplaning is designed to exfoliate several weeks of buildup from the epidermis, the top layer of your skin, to leave your face smoother and brighter. During the procedure, a skin care expert will gently “plane” off dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz) using a sterile medical-grade scalpel. 

By removing the top layer of dead cells, dermaplaning allows skin care products to penetrate deeper. This ensures that serums, moisturizers and sunscreens are more effective and can better protect your skin from sun damage.

Dermaplaning instantly reveals a smoother, more radiant complexion by eliminating the accumulation of tiny hairs and old cells. It helps minimize the appearance of rough texture, acne scars and hyperpigmentation, giving you a more even skin tone.

Desert Sands Aesthetics & Laser offers a wide range of anti-aging treatments and will guide you to the options most suited for your needs. With a cutting-edge facility and total commitment to patient satisfaction, the expert staff is ready to help you look and feel your best this summer and beyond.

“Our goal is to help everyone learn to love the skin they’re in,” Evans said. “I consider it an art.”
