Top Trends in Anti-Inflammation Skincare Treatments

One of the hot trends in skincare for 2022 are anti‑inflammatory treatments. Inflammation comes in many forms including redness, rosacea, acne, PIH, melasma, swelling, eczema and more. It can be caused by diet, stress, allergies, auto‑immune illness, premature aging, sun, virus and infections, so it’s first important to find out what the root cause of the inflammation is before treating it. Today we’ll be taking a look at some of the best in‑office treatments to soothe inflammation and bring back a glowing complexion!

Non-Ablative/ Vascular Lasers

Non‑ablative and vascular lasers can be extremely effective in treating inflammation and reducing redness. For vascular issues like rosacea, laser therapy can reduce excessive redness by emitting light while targeting blood vessels under the skin, causing them to dissolve. After a week of redness from the treatment, you’ll be left with a smooth, calm, even complexion!

Try These to Treat Inflammation:

• Aerolase Neo - Uses patented micro‑pulse technology to treat issues including acne, rosacea, melasma, fine line, wrinkles, and elasticity. These conditions can be improved in just a few sessions, without any downtime.
• excel V CoolView ‑ The world’s most advanced laser system for providing treatment of a variety of vascular skin conditions, including redness, bruising, broken capillaries, rosacea, larger vessels, and even brown spots and sun damage. 
• Genesis Laser ‑ Designed to stimulate collagen production and reduce the redness associated with Rosacea. The long‑wavelength laser makes this treatment safe for all skin types.
• AdvaTx ‑ A hybrid laser that effectively eliminates broken capillaries, redness, and hyperpigmentation, while also improving texture. Improvements give your skin a “glass” appearance and can be seen within four to six treatment sessions. 

BBL/IPL

One of our FAVORITE ways to remove inflammation, redness, and non-melasma-based pigmentation, is from our Broadband Light, or Intense Pulsed Light. These noninvasive procedures deliver light energy deep into the skin, removing pigment and stimulating cell regeneration. The best part is it removes PIH and PIE too!

Try These to Treat Inflammation:

• BBL+ ‑ Treats the skin with 4x the speed, 3x the power, and 2x the cooling capacity for maximum comfort, making it the fastest, most effective BBL treatment available. Applied to the body it is also known as BBL HERO.
• IPL (Limelight) ‑ Light helps target redness, PIH, PIE, and pigment to create a more even‑toned, radiant complexion, without social downtime. Even though IPL has been around a while, it can give even more impressive results for certain cases.

Facials

As you know, we’re huge advocates for monthly facials even if your skin is perfect! Facials are the foundation of skincare and help treat a variety of different issues, including inflammation from rosacea, melasma, acne, and other skin disorders. Facials also act as a preventative measure. If you’re not partaking in this monthly maintenance, you’re really missing out as your cells turnover every 30 days or so. All that being said, which facials or technologies are the best for treating inflammation?

• LED ‑ (Light Emitting Diodes) reduce inflammation, stimulate collagen, and improve clarity. You will be feeling and looking amazing after this gentle treatment.

Cryotherapy 

Cryotherapy is done by applying therapeutic levels of cold temperature to initiate the body’s instinctual healing response to the extreme cold. This is beneficial to treating inflammation by reducing blood flow to a specific area. This can help reduce inflammation and swelling, leaving a brighter, more even complexion.

Peels

Chemical peels produce a controlled injury to the tissue which promotes the acceleration of the growth of new skin. Now, this may be bad for inflammation in some cases, but did you know there are specific peels that are actually gentle and reduce inflammation? Chemical peels are one of the most simple, least invasive, and least invasive ways to improve the appearance of your skin.
