  • Things to Know about Tattoo Removal

    things-to-know-about-laser-tattoo-removal

    One of the benefits of growing up and maturing is recognizing your fears and insecurities as simply that, fears and insecurities. Being able to move on and grow is usually only a gift that comes with age and hindsight. Another benefit of growing up and maturing is knowing that you made a mistake by getting that large cheetah tattoo during that drunken Spring Break in Mexico. Thankfully, just because that memory is permanently etched into your imagination doesn’t mean that tattoo has to be permanently etched into your skin. Insert, Laser Tattoo Removal. What is laser tattoo removal? How does laser tattoo removal work? Deux Rosé medical spa in Las Vegas has the answer to that and more below.

    How Does Laser Tattoo Removal work?

    Using a Q-Switched YAG laser, pulses of light energy are emitted and absorbed by the tattoo’s pigment. Absorbing the energy causes the particles in the pigment to heat up and shatter into tiny fragments that are then removed by the body’s own natural process. The surrounding tissue remains unharmed.

    How Many Laser Tattoo Removal Treatments will I Need?

    While every patient is different, most individuals need about 6-9 sessions spaced 8-12 weeks apart. The number of treatments will vary based on the depth and color of the tattoo, the age of the tattoo, the location of the tattoo, and if the tattoo was done by a professional or an amateur.

    Does Laser Tattoo Removal Remove all Tattoo Colors?

    Laser tattoo removal can help fade or remove most colors of tattoo ink. The wavelengths emitted by our laser resolve dark (blues and black) and red inks the best. Oranges and Purples usually fade fairly easy, as well. And yellow ink or colors combined with yellow inks are more difficult to remove and may never completely resolve.

    What Should I Do After Laser Tattoo Removal?

    After your Laser Tattoo Removal treatment, antibiotic ointment should be used for the first 2-3 days post-treatment. Mild redness and swelling at the site may occur, but that will resolve in 1-2 days. Patients may wash the treatment area with soap and water as normal.

  • How Does Erbium YAG Laser Work?

    how-does-erbium-yag-laser-work

    If we say to you “Erbium Yag,” what comes to mind? A foreign Water Buffalo type animal? Maybe a device that’d hold your water during a long hike? Both of those answers would be totally understandable, but as a medical spa in Las Vegas, “Erbium Yag” clearly refers to skin betterment. More specifically, Erbium Yag is a laser skin treatment. But follow along and we’ll give you all the deets on this funny oddly named skincare treatment. And we promise not to giggle if you can’t pronounce the name correctly, because honestly, we had trouble ourselves.

    What is an Erbium Yag Laser Treatment?

    An Erbium Yag treatment is an ablative laser treatment that targets water in the epidermis and dermis. Ablative treatments cause damage to the superficial and deep layers of skin. This helps resurface the tissue resulting in improvement of texture, fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, skin laxity, and overall appearance. 

    Is an Erbium Yag Laser Treatment Painful?

    Prior to the start of the treatment, we apply a Tetracaine/Lidocaine numbing cream to patients. Some patients however, may still feel a warm pressure or a warm rubber band snap type of sensation during the treatment.

    How Soon Will I See Results After Erbium Yag Laser Treatment?

    Results from Erbium Yag Laser treatment can be seen immediately. The skin will look brighter, feel smoother and have an overall more even tone. Additionally, these results will continue to improve as the deeper layers of tissue heal over the next 3-6 months.

    How Many Erbium Yag Treatments Will I Need?

    While each patient’s desired results may vary, we usually recommend around three Erbium Yag treatments spaced about one month apart.

    How Much Downtime is Needed Following an Erbium Yag Treatment?

    There is no exact timeline for this, as an Erbium Yag resurfacing treatment can be performed at a variety of different intensity levels, based on an individual’s needs. Because of this, recovery results vary, but usually fall within the 1-3 week timeframe. But we usually recommend patients plan for at least 1 week of social downtime to let their skin heal.

    What is Erbium Yag Treatment Aftercare Like?

    After your Erbium Yag treatment, we’ll provide you with a petrolatum-based occlusive ointment. This helps the skin hold onto moisture. We recommend using this product for 48-hours post-treatment. Additionally, patients should only wash their face with cool or tepid water and avoid any facial products with retinol/retinoid, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, or any other chemical exfoliant. Patients should also avoid direct contact with the sun in the first few weeks after their treatment and should always be using SPF-30 or above.

  • What is Dermaplaning?

    dermaplaning-las-vegas

    “What is Dermaplaning?” We get that question a lot. Admittedly, the idea of scrapping our faces with a medical-grade scalpel doesn’t seem all too appealing, so we get it. But don’t let the visuals scare you, Dermaplaning in Las Vegas is very safe. The trained and licensed estheticians at Deux Rosé Beauty Refinery have the skills necessary to give you the fresh, beautiful skin you’ve been looking for.

    What is Dermaplaning?

    Our Las Vegas Dermaplaning treatment begins by cleansing the skin with a selected SkinCeuticals skin cleanser before sterilizing the skin with an alcohol wipe. Following this application, Betadine is used to dry out the skin before gently removing the first layer of dead skin and unwanted peach fuzz with a medical-grade scalpel.

    What are the Side Effects of Dermaplaning?

    Contrary to the visuals, Dermaplaning is very safe. This low-risk procedure offers very few side effects outside of slight skin redness. In rare cases, a small number of patients have developed whiteheads after receiving a Dermaplaning treatment.

    Does Hair Grow Back Quicker After Dermaplaning?

    Another common misconception, but no, hair does not grow back quicker or thicker after receiving a Dermaplaning treatment. Now, your hair may feel different because the hair was cut straight across, but it is in fact growing at the same speed and thickness.

    What are the Benefits of Dermaplaning?

    Dermaplaning leaves the skin brighter and smoother. With the removal of dead skin, Dermaplaning allows the skin to absorb additional treatments at an increased absorption rate. We recommend pairing a Dermaplaning treatment with a custom facial for best results.

    How often Should you Dermaplane?

    Dermaplaning treatments are recommended once every 4 to 6 weeks.
