As we get older, our fight with aging becomes constant. Creams, serums and other skincare products might help us, but nothing compares to a facial treatment at one of the most innovative medical spas, Obagi. Obagi’s groundbreaking ScarLet RF treatment is definitely what a woman needs to achieve flawless, tightened and clear skin, improve the appearance of wrinkles and lines, as well as decrease acne scars and large pores.
Relying on fractional radio frequency energy, intense heat is delivered to the skin through small needles in order to warm its tissues and promote collagen production. After applying a topical anesthetic and waiting for about 25 minutes for it to kick in, Dermatologist and Medical Director Dr. Chadan Naji begins to drive tiny holes with a needle-studded wand into the forehead and the cheeks moving towards the jawline to finally get to the nose. The whole process takes less than 20 minutes and is followed by a cooling mask that relieves redness and inflammation.
Afterwards, Dr. Naji prescribes a healing cream to be used three times a day for 3 days and advises you to avoid using makeup or any kind of skincare products for at least 24 hours, and of course, applying sunscreen is essential over the next few days.
The real result reaches its peek after 4 weeks because the life cycle of the collagen production in the skin’s cells is 4 to 6 weeks. It is also recommended to start by undergoing this treatment one time every four weeks and after reaching 3 sessions, one session is recommended every 3 months.
Knowing that you can mix this treatment with other ones like laser or Mesotherapy that also help rejuvenate the skin, it is important as well to note that they do not fill the place of Botox or fillers. While fillers only fill the wrinkles, this treatment targets the skin, complements the results of the latter and diminishes the need to fill. All these elements increase your “beauty score”, as Dr. Naji states, which is based on the analysis of the face’s natural beauty, symmetry, structure and the absence of distraction points. On another note, Dr. Naji explains that it is very important to opt for Botox when in need, because neglecting the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines makes them deeper and harder to treat.
Tested and experimented, ScarLet turns back your clock and believe us, you will never regret spoiling yourself with this one-of-a-kind treatment in order to achieve radiant and healthy skin!
