For those of you curious spa and skincare lovers, here’s the skinny on this new cool skincare technology:

There are a million marketing names for phototherapy – LED, IPL, light therapy, photo facials – basically they all focus on utilizing the healing power of light. Phototherapy is based on the idea of isolating specific wavelengths of light within the light spectrum for a variety of treatments and applications.

Spas, dermatologists and health clinics might call the service different names, or use different equipment, but the overall results and effects of the treatment are essentially the same.

What’s even cooler about this newer technology is that companies are now producing LED products that you can use at home! Facelogic Spa just announced the launch of ANSR: in our spas in order to offer LED treatments in our spas and to give our customers an option for a great at-home device!

The ANSR: device helps to:

Red Light:

-Reduces fine lines and wrinkles

-Reduces pore size

-Reduces redness

-Improves skin texture and tone

Blue Light:

-Kills acne causing bacteria

Skincare and technology is advancing at a rapid pace and Facelogic Spa is focused on providing the latest and greatest services and treatments for both in-spa and at-home use. We encourage everyone to try a treatment and see how phototherapy can help you achieve your best skin ever!

Facelogic Vitamin C Defense Serum

For those of you who use serums, you already know that they are magical little concoctions created to treat all of your nagging skin concerns. But for those of you who don’t, let me shed some light!

What is a serum? A serum is basically a concentrated concoction of ingredients aimed to treat a specific skin concern. The concentrated ingredients are formulated in order to penetrate the skin with more potency and treat the specific concern at a deeper level. For example, Vitamin C, in its most potent form, typically comes as a serum. Based on what results you desire, there are hundreds (more like thousands) of serums on the market aimed to treat a variety of concerns including fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, dullness, redness, etc.

Why should you use serums? Serums will deliver better results when combined with your typical skincare routine because the highly-concentrated concoction is formulated to target a specific concern (i.e. fine lines) and deliver quicker results. While products like everyday moisturizers may contain some of a serum’s ingredients, they are not formulated in as high of a concentration.

If you’re looking to find a product that will treat one or two of your specific skin issues, look to a  serum. Your moisturizers are great for overall treatment and protection, however serums are better ‘equipped’ to tackle the specific issue head-on!

Do you have some specific concerns? Here’s some serums we recommend:

Skin Concern: fine lines and wrinkles

Peter Thomas Roth Unwrinkle – an amazing patent-pending peptide blend that is highly concentrated as a wrinkle-fighting solution with the highest degree of effective ingredients found in clinical studies.

Skin Concern: skin protection and repair

Facelogic Vitamin C Defense Serum – boosts the skin’s collagen and elastin production, repairs premature aging caused by environmental damage and brightens skin tone while minimizing areas of discoloration.

Skin Concern: hyperpigmentation

Eminence Organic Stone Crop – utilizes the natural concentrated stone crop juice and bearberry extract to lighten and minimize discoloration.

Skin Concern: redness

MD Skincare by Dr. Dennis Gross Redness Soothing Serum – contains multiple ingredients to control redness due to inflammation, rosacea and flushing.

If you’re ready to take your skincare routine to the next level, or just looking to treat a specific skin issue that has been bugging you, get started with a serum that treats your concern. The concentration of ingredients from the serum is sure to minimize your concern, if not alleviate it completely (depending on the severity, of course)!
