It’s never too early or too late to age elegantly.
Wrinkle Relaxers
Neuromodulators such as Botox or Xeomin are used to relax wrinkles caused by muscle movement. The neuromodulator is placed using teeny tiny needles to target the muscle causing the wrinkling.
Neuromodulators take up to 14 days to kick in and the effect lasts 3 months on average. There is no downtime and minimal restrictions on the day of treatment.
Wrinkle relaxation is appropriate for clients looking to prevent signs of aging or reverse aging. At Bevel Up, our focus is on natural results. This means we often start with conservative dosing and bring you back in 2 weeks to add more if needed.
Dermal Fillers
Fillers are an effective way to treat “static lines” which are lines present without movement. Fillers are also utilized to enhance facial features, balance the face, and provide support for the tissues.
There are many types of dermal fillers available, and the choice of filler is very important. Because of the focus on safety at Bevel Up, we choose only hyaluronic acid fillers because they are reversible with an antidote agent. This provides an extra layer of safety in the event that the filler becomes lodged in a vessel.
We often hear that people fear looking “overfilled”, so choose to avoid fillers. After safety, our top priority at Bevel Up is achieving a natural result. You should look refreshed and rejuvenated, not weird!
Filler treatment takes anywhere from 1-2 hours depending on the areas treated, and it is normal to experience swelling and bruising which can last up to 2 weeks. The amount of time that filler lasts depends on a number of factors including the area treated, the type of filler chosen, and your own metabolism. In general, most fillers last about 6-12 months.
We offer different types of pain control depending on the area treated and the client’s preference. These include vibration anesthesia, ice therapy, topical numbing, local numbing, and nerve blocks. We will work with you to determine which option will keep you the most comfortable!
Because each client is different in terms of needs and goals, it is highly recommended to set up an in-person filler consultation which will include options and pricing. General advice and ballpark costs can be given over email/messaging as well.
Microneedling with SkinPen
Microneedling is a safe and effective way to induce collagen production and give you firmer, more radiant skin. At Bevel Up Skin Bar, we use the SkinPen microneedling device. We chose to partner with SkinPen because it is the first FDA cleared microneedling device and the needle depth is extremely precise which leads to better results and a safer, more comfortable experience for the client.
Microneedling can be performed on the face, around the eyes, on the neck, décolletage, stretch marks, and even on the arms and legs! Through microneedling, tiny channels are created in the skin which allows products to penetrate deeper. At Bevel Up, we offer advanced treatment serums to take your results to the next level.
Downtime for microneedling is about 3 days, but many clients return to work or normal activity the next day. The skin will appear red, looking and feeling similar to a sunburn.
As your body produces collagen and elastin in response to the controlled micro-injuries caused by this treatment, you will begin to see firmer, brighter skin, reduced pores, improved acne scars, and generally improved texture. Full results are typically seen within 6 weeks. For the biggest impact, we recommend a series of 3 microneedling treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Most clients return for a “booster” treatment every 6-12 months.
If you are really serious about harnessing your body’s regenerative power, we also offer PRFM! It is a powerful addition to microneedling- learn more about it here.
Platelet Rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM)
PRFM is an incredible advancement in the autologous treatment of the skin. Autologous means the treatment is derived from your own body- it doesn’t get more natural than that! PRFM is a component of your blood which is isolated by spinning the blood in a machine called a centrifuge. This allows the rose gold PRFM to rise to the top of the tube and separates it from the red blood cells.
Within that valuable “rose gold”, are your body’s own growth factors and regenerative white blood cells. By injecting these into the skin or applying it on top of open microneedling channels, your body will heal more quickly and improve your skin’s texture and tone.
The system we use at Bevel Up Skin Bar does not contain any additives. Traditional PRP (platelet rich plasma) utilizes gel separators and anticoagulants to keep blood from clotting, whereas PRFM is 100% natural. Additionally, PRFM will continue to release these helpful growth factors over the course of about 7 days- it’s the gift that keeps on giving!
PRFM is a powerful addition to a microneedling treatment and is obtained by drawing blood from your arm, just like at the lab or doctor’s office. PRFM can decrease your downtime and accelerate healing which is an added bonus!
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are used to improve the skin’s tone and texture. At Bevel Up Skin Bar, we offer various types of peels to target your specific needs.
There are 3 types of peels offered:
No Downtime/Lunchtime Peel: this peel will leave your skin feeling incredible! You will walk out with smooth, glowing skin. There is zero downtime and this is the perfect peel to prep for a big event or to kick off a new skincare regimen. We can target acne, discoloration, signs of aging, and dry skin.
Intermediate Peel: This peel will improve overall skin texture and tone for clients with mild to moderate photo damage. Results are seen within 4-6 weeks, but the skin does not actually peel off! That means no downtime but incredible results. This peel is best when you have used a high potency Vitamin A product for at least 6 weeks prior to the treatment.
3 Step Peel: This is a medium depth peel which targets deep into the skin to rejuvenate the overall texture and appearance of brown spots. The skin must be conditioned for a minimum of 6 weeks on a high potency Vitamin A product before the first treatment. There is a 5-7 day downtime and your skin will peel to reveal the beautiful young looking skin beneath! Best results are seen in a series of 3 peels spaced 1 month apart.
Medical Grade Skincare
We are proud to partner with the best brands in the business to keep your skin looking healthy and beautiful. Professional grade skincare products are so important in maintaining results from your in office treatments as well as helping to meet your skin goals.
Unlike what you find on the shelves of Sephora or Target, professional brands have clinically active ingredients which are of higher quality. The products are very effective and sold through skin professionals to ensure you are using the proper products for your unique skin.
Because this is a medical practice, Bevel Up Skin Bar only carries products that are scientifically backed and proven to be effective. This means that your skincare investment will pay off and you can finally clear out that drawer full of expensive abandoned skincare products that aren’t doing anything for you!
If you’re not sure where to start or what you need, don’t worry! That’s what our professionals are for. I recommend starting with a custom no-downtime peel which jumpstart your new skin regimen and give us an extended time to examine your skin and talk about your goals.
