Check out the award winning treatments and products you can get at Blume Skin & Body in Scottsdale, AZ. ### Content ## NewBeauty Awards 2021 Spring is the season of rebirth and the award season. Of course, the testing process for the [2021 NewBeauty Awards](https://www.newbeauty.com/category/awards/) during wasn't the typical testing committees debating over 10,000 submissions. This year all research and debate to choose the 280 winners was done virtually. I can image that the panel was hyper-critical of their own image on the zoom meetings. The experts scrutinized thousands of products and procedures that deliver on their claims and solve our biggest beauty requests. This year more than ever we deserve to look and feel like the best versions of ourselves. Each year hundreds of new product lines enter the skin care and treatment market. Instagram & Facebook bombard us with new advertising for products that are brand new and untested. Tik Tok has also entered the fray of so-called experts telling its viewers to use strange and unusual homemade remedies to cure all your beauty woes. Unfortunately, once you click on the advertisement, you will see the product show up in your news feed for weeks. I thought it would be helpful to highlight the 11th Annual Beauty Awards from New Beauty Magazine, Spring-Summer 2021, with the products and procedures that Blume Skin & Body offers. ### NewBeauty Awards for Best In-Office Treatments & Procedures #### **The Best Neurotoxin - Botox Cosmetic** For the past 19 years, [Botox](/botox/) has been reducing frown lines, crow's feet and smoothing foreheads everywhere.

[Back To Overview](/blog/) [Previous Post](/blog/non-surgical-jawline-contouring-and-chin-augmentation/) --- ## 3D Collagen Boost Blog **Link:** [3D Collagen Boost Blog](https://blumeskintreatment.com/blog/3d-collagen-boost/) ([md](https://blumeskintreatment.com/blog/3d-collagen-boost/index.html.md)) **Description:** At Blume Skin & Body, we love to treat collagen loss, loose skin, volume loss, and wrinkles at 3 different levels with our 3D Collagen Boost Package. ### Content ## A Treatment Trifecta to Fight Collagen Loss on 3 Different Levels If you've experienced collagen loss due to aging, you may have looked into a wide array of treatments. You may be asking yourself "Do I Need Filler or [Ultherapy](/ultherapy/)?" **The good news is, you don't have to choose....do both and get twice the results with the **[**3D Collagen Boost!!**](/blog/3d-collagen-boost/) As we age, our collagen production slows down, starting in our late 20's. As we get older, that process slows down more and more. Collagen loss looks like less volume, loose skin, thin skin, skin laxity and drooping skin. Collagen supplements and powders have become extremely popularized, however there are limitations to what those can truly do for your skin. The best results come from treatments that can replace volume loss, and help our bodies to actually produce more collagen again, giving us [long-lasting results](/gallery/). [](https://influx-site-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/blumeskintreatment.com/blog/natural-aging-process-and-collagen.jpg)[.caption]Source: https://parjournal.net/article/view/3863[] During the natural aging process, our body slows down the production of collagen, causing loose skin and wrinkles. At Blume Skin & Body, we love to treat volume loss, loose skin, thin skin, skin laxity and drooping skin at 3 different levels with our [3D Collagen Boost Package](/blog/3d-collagen-boost/), which includes an Ultherapy treatment for the Face and Neck, 2 syringes of [Radiesse](/radiesse/) filler, and a Neocutis Micro Firm Neck cream. This combination treatment will help you get long-lasting results in the office and at home! ### **Ultherapy** Ultherapy is the only non-invasive treatment approved by the FDA for lifting the skin on the neck, chin and brow/forehead. [Ultherapy](/ultherapy/) uses targeted ultrasound to lift and tighten loose skin, without any downtime! (Results vary from patient to patient). Ultherapy results last up to a year or two, with great results in patients with collagen loss. [](https://influx-site-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/blumeskintreatment.com/blog/animation_of_how_ultherapy_stimulates_collagen_production_at_different_layers_skin_tightening.jpg) [.caption]Source: https://ultherapy.com/what-to-expect-non-invasive-ultrasound-treatment/[] [Ultherapy](/ultherapy/) uses focused ultrasound to generate a thermal effect under the skin. This has the ability to reach the lowest level of the skin, the basal layer, where the collagen loss is most prominent. The thermal effect essentially fires up the repair process in the skin that strengthens existing collagen and produces fresh, brand-new collagen. Here are a few stunning before and after photos that demonstrate the power of [Ultherapy](/ultherapy/)! #### Ultherapy Full Face Before and After [](https://influx-site-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/blumeskintreatment.com/blog/ultherapy-full-face-treatment-before-and-after.jpg) [.caption]Source: https://ultherapy.com/results/ **Ultherapy Neck Treatment Before and After[]** [](https://influx-site-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/blumeskintreatment.com/blog/ultherapy-before-and-after-neck.jpg) [.caption]Source: https://ultherapy.com/results/[] ### **Radiesse** Filler, or [dermal fillers](/injectables-overview/), are FDA-approved to add volume to areas where the volume has been depleted or lost. They also create a smoother and/or fuller appearance to the area that's treated. Collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid are all imperative in keeping the skin smooth and tight. The combination of these injected into the skin ensures that your skin remains firm. As stated above, our skin, over time, naturally loses elasticity as we get older. And as a result, fine lines and wrinkles will become more noticeable. Of course, genetics and lifestyle do play a large role in how our skin ages. Fillers can be used to help plump thinning lips, enhance cheek bones, restructure the chin, define the jaw line, and can create support for drooping skin. When diluted properly, it can be injected throughout the face to stimulate collagen growth. [Radiesse](/radiesse/) is a volumizing filler, and like many other fillers, it brings back instant volume to the skin for that instant gratification. What's unique about Radiesse is that it also works under the skin to continue producing collagen, making it last up to one year! **3D Collagen Boost Before & After**[](https://influx-site-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/blumeskintreatment.com/blog/3d-collagen-boost-radiesse-before-after.jpg) Utilizing Ultherapy and Radiesse together will have even a bigger result than having one or the other alone. The 3D Collagen Boost addresses skin laxity and sagging, plus stimulates collagen while targeting deflation and volume loss. ### **Neocutis Neo Therapy Neck & Décolleté Tightening Cream** As a part of the 3D Collagen Boost package, you will also take home a [Neocutis Neo Therapy Neck Cream](/neocutis/). This cream supports the results of the Ultherapy treatment to improve skin texture and elasticity, continuing the reproduction of collagen, plus it adds moisture for supple skin. Overall, this neck cream is excellent to continue to tighten any saggy skin as well as diminish the appearance of age spots.[](https://www.neocutis.com/product/neo-therapy/) While there are several treatments to choose from, one treatment by itself can only do so much. By combining treatments, patients can have a purposeful treatment plan that is personalized to them, yielding longer lasting results. This [3D Collagen Boost Package](/blog/3d-collagen-boost/) is a trifecta of treatments that targets the aging process from every depth. Deep within the dermis, underneath the skin, and topically. This will help to fight collagen loss on 3 different levels. If you think about your skin as a house, Ultherapy is like the foundation. Making sure the foundation is solid, secure and strong gives you the perfect base to start with. It stimulates your own collagen, creating a beautiful, lifting support. Radiesse Filler is like the insulation, adding more support and giving your home another protective layer. Top it off with the Neocutis Firming Neck cream, your house is now complete with stylish home décor! At [Blume Skin & Body](/about/meet-the-team/) we created the 3D Collagen Boost as an anti-aging package to fight collagen loss on 3 different levels. As always, results will vary from patient to patient. That's why it is important to have a [one-on-one consultation](/consultation/) with your Licensed Ultherapist and Injector, to determine the best treatment for you!

Keep reading to make this summer (and every day) carefree and sunburn free. ## Sunscreen is Preventative Skincare We all know the importance of sunscreen. It helps to fight against precancerous and cancerous cells (skin cancer). Sunscreen helps to fight signs of aging, hyperpigmentation, broken capillaries, the break down of collagen and so much more. I'm not here to act like your mother and wave my finger and yell "MAKE SURE YOU PUT YOUR SUNSCREEN ON!", (well maybe a little). The truth is, any form of sun exposure equals to sun damage. Read that again. Any form of sun exposure equals to sun damage. The UV rays are all around us, even when we're inside sitting next to a window. So making sure we are PROPERLY protected is incredibly important. Let's cover our bases. ## What's the Difference Between Chemical and Physical Sunscreen? SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor which is how the protection is measured. The higher the SPF number the better the protection. This has been common place for years. A few common ingredients found in higher SPF numbered sunscreens are avobenzone and parsol 1789. This is considered a chemical sunscreen. This was extremely popular in the 1990's and early 2000's. The other type of sunscreen is [physical sunscreen](/eltamd/). These typically contain zinc and/or titanium dioxide. These ingredients act as more of a shield towards the UV rays. Both types of sunscreen will absorb the UV rays, however the [physical sunscreen](/colorescience/) will reflect the UV rays making it a more effective option. ## How to Apply SPF Correctly Now that we have broken down the differences in sunscreens, let's apply the right way! 1. The average person needs about an ounce (2 tbs) for a fully body application. Since physical sunscreens contains more mineral based ingredients, the consistency will be slightly more dense. But remember, the protection will be more thorough. This is important in application! Making sure that you are properly covered is key. 2. Apply from head to toe. That's right! Every square inch of your body needs to be covered in order to be protected. We know the basics - face, neck, shoulders, arms, back, legs and feet. But what about the places we commonly forget? - EARS, BACK OF THE HANDS, FINGERS, UNDER THE CHIN, LIPS (spf chapstick), STOMACH, UNDER THE BATHING SUIT AREAS, AND SCALP. If an area of the body is left without sunscreen, there is an increased risk of sunburns and sun damage. 3. Let your sunscreen absorb for 15 minutes before going outside. Since a physical sunscreen has better ingredients, why not apply and hit the road? There is a level of absorption that any sunscreen has to do in order for it to be the most effective. - Pro tip: apply you sunscreen nude (that way you won't miss a spot), get dressed, then pack for the day, and you're ready to go! 4. As stated above, pick a sunscreen containing a high percentage of zinc and/or titanium dioxide. Just like medical-grade skincare, it's the ingredients in the product that does the work to get you the results. Not saying that all other skincare products are "bad', but when it comes to results, you need to know the product is going to work for you and not against you. The same applies with sunscreen. Chemical sunscreens aren't ineffective, however physical sunscreens will provide more protection based on its ingredients and ability to shield. ## Don't Forget When you know you're going to be outside for longer periods of time, make sure you reapply your sunscreen every 2-3 hours to stay protected. And to take your protection a step further, make sure you are wearing clothing that covers. Sun protective clothing (shirts and pants) are extremely popular for swimming, hiking and gardening. Wide brimmed hats help to create a larger spectrum of protection for your face, ears, shoulders, neck and chest. And don't forget about your eyes. Sun damage in the eyes is a thing! Invest in good quality sunglasses to protect your eyes from the sun. At [Blume Skin and Body](/about/meet-the-team/), we have a wide variety of [sunscreen](/product-overview/) to keep you protected while you walk the dog, go swimming, hike your favorite trail and even sitting at your desk at work next to a window. The investment in proper sun protection is far less of an investment than going back and forth to the dermatologist having countless biopsies and surgeries to fix what could have been preventable.

It projects an unachievable goal to not only young girls, but to grown adults too! ### Content # 5 Habits to Fabulous Skin: The Instagram filter look can mess with our heads majorly. It projects an unachievable goal to not only young girls, but to grown adults too! While we are all trying to raise our daughters with lessons of self love, body positivity and plain old acceptance, there's no denying we all STILL want to have awesome skin. But our mental health doesn't have to suffer to get it. Here are 5 habits to get fabulous skin. ## Moisturize Now this may seem too simple, and it sort of is! Many individuals that have dealt with skin issues like acne, or oily skin typically skip this important step in fear of making things worse. It's actually the complete opposite. When our skin isn't properly hydrated it creates a thin dead layer of skin on the very surface of the epidermis. Sometimes you can see it and usually you can feel it. What happens is, that dead layer of skin creates such a barrier that your natural oil production is unable to secrete properly. Instead, it secretes slower than normal, creating a shine to the skin, giving the skin an oily appearance. That's why many think they have oily skin. Since that oil secretion is moving so slowly, the oil can get stuck under the dead skin and form into deep clogged pores. Moisturizing on a regular basis can ease that dead skin helping to balance the entire function of the skin, including oil production. The same applies to dry, combination and aging skin. Moisturizing is crucial for lubricating the pores, and feeding the skin what it needs. Fine lines and wrinkles will be less visible when they are properly hydrated. So finding a great moisturizer for night time is very important. [](https://influx-site-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/blumeskintreatment.com/blog/epionce-renewal-facial-lotion.jpg) ## Sunblock Now that we've covered the night time moisturizer portion, now we can cover the day time. Ah yes, SPF should be your BFF. Daily use of SPF is a great way to achieve fabulous skin. The best sunscreen to look for isn't necessarily one that has a large SPF number on the front of the bottle. It's actually the percentage of the active ingredients on the back of the bottle that give the sunscreen its protection power. High percentages of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are mineral ingredients that create a physical barrier from the sun. If you are using products that make you more photosensitive, like retinol or glycolic acid, or receiving [treatments](/about/meet-the-team/) that make you more susceptible to burn or hyperpigmentation, SPF everyday is imperative. [](https://influx-site-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/blumeskintreatment.com/blog/eltamd-uv-shield-broad-spectrum-spf-45.jpg) ## Retinol Piggybacking from the importance of SPF, retinol is an amazing product to incorporate into your skincare routine. Retinol based products can come in all different shapes, sizes and potencies. Retinol or Retin-A is a derivative of Vitamin A. It helps with cellular turnover and helps to soften signs of aging (fine lines and wrinkles) and is a key component in helping with acne. It helps with skin texture, dilated pores and general skin wellness. Retinol use can be as simple as using it intermittently a few times a week, or spot treating acne blemishes. It is important to remember that you must limit your sun exposure during the time of use. For example, don't use retinol the night before you know you're going out on a hike, swimming, or any outdoor activity the following day. And when you do go out, make sure the retinol has been cleansed off the following day and a proper SPF has been applied. [](https://influx-site-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/blumeskintreatment.com/blog/nouvelle.jpg) ## Serum So many [serums](/product-overview/), how do I know which one is best?! That all depends on what your skin is doing at the moment and your goals. Hyaluronic acid, antioxidant, peptide, and growth factor serums all have so many amazing benefits. So to pick the best one for you leads me into the next must-have for fabulous skin. [](https://influx-site-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/blumeskintreatment.com/blog/skinbetter-alto-defense-serum-50mlpng.jpg) ## Medical Esthetician Establishing a good relationship with a highly trained, knowledgable Medical Esthetican will guarantee the right path for you on your skincare journey. Which serum to invest in, and which treatments you should dedicate your time on maintaining your fabulous skin. Whether is [laser](/laser-treatments-overview/), [facials](/medical-grade-facials/), [microneedling](/microneedling/), [peels](/chemical-peel/) or [microdermabrasions](/about/meet-the-team/), your esthetician will establish a treatment regimen to fit your needs completely. [](https://influx-site-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/blumeskintreatment.com/blog/upstairs-3-scaled.jpg) Living in a highly virtual world where the filters are at our fingertips, it's important to remember the true beauty within us. True beauty can't be seen in a mirror or a computer screen or a phone. We were all born to be real, real people with real flaws. Perfection is such an illusion that we continuously have to remind ourselves of. Luckily the support from trusted professionals can help keep your true beauty shining through.

Fortunately, modern aesthetic medicine ### Content As we age, our skin naturally loses volume and elasticity, leading to the formation of wrinkles and fine lines. Fortunately, modern aesthetic medicine offers innovative solutions to combat these signs of aging. One such solution that has gained immense popularity is [Juvederm](/dermal-fillers/), a collection of injectable [dermal fillers](/injectables-overview/) designed to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. ## Understanding Juvederm [Juvederm](/dermal-fillers/) fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in our bodies that helps keep skin hydrated and volumized. As we age, our natural hyaluronic acid production decreases, leading to a loss of facial volume and the formation of wrinkles. ## How Juvederm Works When injected into specific areas of the face, Juvederm fillers attract water molecules, which helps to plump up the skin and smooth out wrinkles. The result is a more youthful, refreshed appearance that can last for several months to over a year, depending on the specific product used. ## Types of Juvederm Fillers Juvederm offers a range of products, each designed to target specific areas and concerns: ### Juvederm Ultra XC - Ideal for: Plumping lips and smoothing smile lines - Duration: Up to 1 year ### Juvederm Voluma XC - Ideal for: Restoring volume to cheeks and midface - Duration: Up to 2 years ### Juvederm Volbella XC - Ideal for: Subtle lip enhancement and smoothing vertical lip lines - Duration: Up to 1 year ## The Treatment Process ### Consultation Before any treatment, a consultation with a qualified healthcare provider is essential. During this consultation, your provider will assess your facial anatomy, discuss your aesthetic goals, and recommend the most appropriate Juvederm product(s) for your needs. ### The Procedure Juvederm treatments are typically quick, often taking only 15-30 60 minutes. The area to be treated is cleansed, and the filler is injected using a fine needle. Most Juvederm products contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic, to minimize discomfort during the procedure. ### Recovery and Results One of the benefits of Juvederm treatments is that there's minimal downtime. Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure. Results are visible immediately, with full effects typically seen within two weeks. ## Aftercare and Maintenance To maximize the results of your Juvederm treatment: - Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours after the procedure - Stay hydrated to enhance the effects of the hyaluronic acid - Protect your skin from sun exposure - Schedule touch-up treatments as recommended by your provider ## Is Juvederm Right for You? Juvederm treatments can be an excellent option for those looking to address signs of aging without surgery. However, it's important to have realistic expectations and understand that while the results can be significant, they are not permanent. As with any cosmetic procedure, it's crucial to consult with a board-certified professional to determine if Juvederm is the right choice for you, so make sure to [schedule a consultation](/contact/) with us. We can assess your individual needs and develop a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve your aesthetic goals. Remember, true beauty comes from within, but there's nothing wrong with wanting to look as young as you feel. With Juvederm, you can enhance your natural beauty and face the world with renewed confidence.

It is not like having a pimple or needing acne treatment. Nor is it like having a cosmetic treatment where you are seeking healthy skin treatments. Surgery is not for wimps! I have never had surgery before so I decided to start with the king of surgeries - open heart! It is surreal for a doctor to become a patient. I was told I was a good patient and listened to the nurses and treating physicians. Again, not always easy. Even though I now treat only cosmetic skin conditions and have not treated medical conditions for a few years, I remembered what it was like to see open heart surgery, having assisted at many of these procedures. I was scared! I knew it would be a long process and painful recovery. I think that was the part that scared me most. Luckily, as I had been told by others, I don't remember the pain, only the inconvenience it created. I had just restarted this new business after owning and managing Parkway for seven years. I think being a patient has made me much more aware of what others have gone through and will go through during medical treatments. I know my surgery has nothing to do with [acne treatments](/services/), acne scars, or skin care. Nonetheless, I have many long time patients/friends from the days of Parkway Medical Laser and Skin Centre who continued to call with best wishes and speedy recovery.

Blume Skin & Body has some tried and true ways to help with rosacea. ### Content April is Rosacea awareness month and we are going to breakdown Rosacea and some treatments and products that can help! ### What is Rosacea? Rosacea. What is it? Why does it happen? What is the best way to treat it? Unfortunately, rosacea affects an estimated 16 million Americans. It is chronic, but treatable and will worsen over time if it is left untreated. Fortunately, there are several avenues' people can go to for relief. There are [topical skin treatments](/product-overview/)[, ](/services/)[laser treatments](/ipl-bbl-laser/), [microneedling](/microneedling/) and lifestyle changes. Rosacea (roh-ZAY-sha) is a common skin condition that causes visible blood vessels and redness in your face. It can also be combined with small, red, pus-filled bumps. It is common for the signs and symptoms to last several weeks to months and then disappear for a while. People who struggle with this condition also have a tendency to blush or flush more easily than other people. This redness is most commonly on the nose and cheeks, forehead and chin. However, it can spread to the ears, chest and back. According to the National Rosacea Society, "Studies have shown that over time the redness tends to become ruddier and more persistent, and visible blood vessels may appear. Left untreated, inflammatory bumps and pimples often develop, and in severe cases - particularly in men - the nose may grow swollen and bumpy from excess tissue." There are several signs and symptoms of rosacea. The first category is diagnostic signs, persistent redness and skin thickening. The second category are major signs of rosacea, which are flushing, bumps and pimples, visible blood vessels and eye irritation. The third category is secondary signs and symptoms, which may appear with one or more of the diagnostic or major signs. These are burning or stinging sensations on the face, swelling or dryness. ### How do You Treat Rosacea? Treatment for rosacea varies from individual to individual. Blume Skin & Body has some tried and true ways to help with rosacea. The first is an [IPL/BBL Photofacial](/ipl-bbl-laser/) treatment. The light energy delivered by this [BBL treatment](/ipl-bbl-laser/) gently heats the upper layers of your skin, which stimulates your skin cells to regenerate. This treatment is tailored to match your skin type and desired results. The [IPL/BBL](/ipl-bbl-laser/) encourages the growth of collagen to replace damaged skin and heal skin conditions. The conditions that may be helped with regular treatments are acne, rosacea, pigmentation and fine lines and wrinkles. How does the [BBL/IPL](/ipl-bbl-laser/) laser affect Rosacea? It breaks up the vessels and building collagen. The [PhotoFacial](/ipl-bbl-laser/) BBL/IPL is also a great treatment for chronic dry eye and obitual rosacea. It is important to note that each patient is different and will respond differently so it is important to receive a complimentary consultation with Blume Skin & Body before any treatment. The [BBL/IPL laser](/ipl-bbl-laser/) will not cure rosacea, but the symptoms can be managed with consistent treatments. It is best to have a series of three to six treatments spaced four to six weeks apart. From there you can determine how often you need to return for maintenance treatments. Remember, rosacea is chronic and uncurable. It is best to find a maintenance plan that works for you and stick with it. ### What Skincare Should be Used With Rosacea? Finding a skin care routine is also an important part of managing rosacea. If you have rosacea, you should be using a mild or gentle cleanser twice a day. We really like the [Gentle Foaming Cleanser from Epionce](/epionce/), the [Gentle Cleanser from ZO Skin Health](/zo-skin-health/) or the [Wonder Falls from Valmont](/valmont/). These cleansers will gently cleanse the skin without any harsh irritants. Always use lukewarm water and blot your face dry. Never use a rough washcloth or pull or tug on your skin. If you have rosacea you should never use scrubs or any exfoliants. The next step in your routine would be a serum to help reduce the appearance of redness. Our favorites are the BioCream Firm from NeoCutis or [Rozatrol from ZO Skin Health](/zo-skin-health/). Both of these products will help protect the skin and boost collagen production.

ResurFX Erbium Laser Blume Skin & Body has an Erbium Laser by Lumenis called ### Content Are you looking for a facial rejuvenation treatment without downtime? ResurFX Erbium Laser Blume Skin & Body has an Erbium Laser by Lumenis called ResurFx. This erbium laser is fractional non-ablative skin resurfacing. Fractional lasers emit thousands of tiny micro-beams that injure a fraction of the skin. Non-ablative lasers create channels of heat into the skin that are invisible to the naked eye, but are strong enough to activate the skin's wound response. This signals your skin's cells to create collagen and elastin. ResurFX is the only true non-ablative technology that uses a patented algorithm for controlled non-sequential pulsing that ensure precise, homogenous and safe energy delivery for predictable results. There is no real downtime, one to two days of mild redness and slight edema (swelling). This treatment is great to have one week before an event to give the skin an all over brightening glow with smooth texture. Can the PhotoFacial and ResurFX be combined in a single treatment? Photofractional is a time saving treatment which addresses multiply issues in a single treatment. ResurFX, non-ablative erbium laser can be combined with an [IPL photofacial](/ipl-bbl-laser/) for a photofractional treatment that addresses multiple skin concerns in one treatment. Patients desiring enhanced rejuvenation can benefit from a photofractional treatment since it can treat signs of aging including: sun damage, acne scars, enlarged pores, fine wrinkles, uneven texture and unwanted pigmentation. Since both ResurFX and IPL are FDA approved a photofractional treatment is a safe effective way to restore a more youthful appearance. Lumenis M22 has the erbium laser and IPL built into the same platform for a smooth easy treatment. Blume Skin & Body recommends a series of three photofractional treatments to stimulate collagen and elastin and improve skin clarity. ResurFX, erbium laser and IPL, photofacial and Photofractional precautions to be taken one week before and after treatment: - Avoid significant sun exposure or sunless tanner - Avoid Retinol products - Oral or topical antibiotic Contact Blume Skin & Body in Scottsdale, Arizona to learn more about ResurFX, erbium laser and Photofractional and which treatment is right for you.

I started Kara with our one of our PCA Jessner peels to decrease the hyperkerintinization by exfoliating the skin. Our next line of attack for her acne problems is the Sciton Joule BBL laser treatment to decrease sebum production and support collagen regeneration. I have treated Kara with our Blue-U Blue Light Therapy to decrease bacteria, inflammation and aid in healing her skin. Kara has been coming to The Blume Skin Centre every week for the fifteen minute Blue-U Light Therapy session. She has also started using the skincare line, Gytone. Kara is using the acne line with its non-irritating formulation. This acne system is great for sensitive adult acne and is non-drying. Kara is thrilled with her results.

She felt that the lines around her eyes were making her look tired and asked the young doctor if there were any treatments or products she could use to make her appear younger. The kind doctor replied that they weren't imperfections, they were Wisdom Lines. Wisdom Lines. How lovely. This not only put a smile on my face, it got me thinking about all the creative terminology we use to describe our skin and the various conditions we are trying to correct. Let me offer you a basic skin tutorial on some of our more favorite skin conditions we encounter on a daily basis. **Crows Feet**- those small pesky wrinkles that radiate from the corners of our eyes. I prefer the phrase Smile Lines, and yes, there are treatment options such as[ Pixel](http:///skin-careskin-treatment-services/fractionated-pixel-resurfacing/), [chemical peels ](/chemical-peel/)and[ Botox](/botox/). **Face Dandruff**- The wonderful by-product of an [exfoliating chemical peel](/chemical-peel/). Those in "the know" will give you a wink or a thumbs-up as you leave a trail of falling skin in your wake. **Barnacles**- I read where a dermatologist in Arizona referred to aging skin as the hull of a ship, accumulating barnacles on its journeys through the sea of life. Hulls of a ship? Yes, it makes sense, but mollusks on our faces? They belong on the beach! Not on our faces. These benign skin growths are the results of "maturing" age and heredity. One more thing we can blame on our parents. Our aesthetician, [Sandra Caldwell](/about/meet-the-team/), can use her handy CryoProbe and eradicate this pesky problem. **Turkey Neck**- Just in time for Thanksgiving. No one wants to get stuck with the Turkey Neck, especially us ladies. As we mature, the skin on our necks loses its elasticity, resulting in the unwelcomed appearance of the dreaded Turkey Neck. [CO2 Fractionated Pixel ](/lumenis-m-22-resurfx-photofractional/)will tighten up this "Fowl" condition! **Jowls- **When we are young, they are cheeks. Again, as we gracefully mature, they suddenly become jowls. Even worse, they are referred to as sagging jowls. We just can't get a break! Well, we have an amazing solution for SJ syndrome- [Juvederm XC ](/dermal-fillers/)and [Radiesse](/radiesse/). I have seen the results with my own eyes. Dr Blume, I think you have found a cure for SJ syndrome. I could continue describing various skin conditions, such as Liver Spots, Crepey Skin, Ice Pick Scars and Spider Veins. We tend to be our worst critics when it comes to our skin. There are solutions to these conditions so don't be so tough on yourself. We are all on this journey together and we want to help you put your best face forward and age gracefully.

The gifts for loved ones are beautifully wrapped, our homes are bathed in shimmering lights, and festive savory meals are being planned. So much love and care goes into preparing for the holidays...let us not forget to pamper our skin during these hectic weeks. One of the easiest tips for healthy beautiful skin is to remember to wash and cleanse your face at night. Even after those fabulous late-night parties. Heavy holiday makeup can clog pores, leaving your skin looking dull and distressed. Remember to apply your eye cream at night and your anti-aging serums and moisturizers during the day. Mineral makeup should be a staple in your holiday routine, and always, always, always apply your sunscreen. Simple skincare steps will allow you to shine as you glide gracefully and effortlessly to the New Year!

[Botox](/botox/), [Juvederm](/dermal-fillers/), [Radiesse](/radiesse/), [Restylane](/injectables-overview/), and other [dermal fillers ](/injectables-overview/)are also copied these days. The difference is that this is dangerous as it is injected into you! Who really knows what is in these skin care products? There are potentially serious and severe complications associated with these injectables. Looking only for price and not value may lead you to one of these of injectors if not careful. There are many high volume, low cost injectors around. Nonetheless, you may sacrifice quality, comfort, outcomes, or safety if not careful There are two types of illegal and possible dangerous products about which to be aware. First are illegal "knock offs" that are labeled as the original but are not. Then there are the products that state they are the same as another ([Botox](/botox/) for example) but really do not perform the same way. Also, understand that if you are injected with Botox or dermal fillers from outside the United States, like Mexico or Canada, these are also illegal. That's right. They are not FDA approved and as such are illegal even if the product is the same. The injector can even be arrested and go to jail. Can you imagine being half way through with an injection and have a federal marshal come in to remove the injector before you are done? Please remember quality and safety. The profit margins are higher on illegal and counterfeit products leading some injectors to buy them. It is you who will suffer even if you pay a lower price. Remember your mother's old adage. "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is." Go for value which encompasses price AND quality.

Although plastic surgery has traditionally been best for restoring a youthful look, ### Content There are more options than ever for anti-aging and skin rejuvenation. Although plastic surgery has traditionally been best for restoring a youthful look, many minimally-invasive alternatives are now available. If you're considering a facelift, then you should know that the thread lift may be a great option instead. Here's what to know about these two facial rejuvenation options and how you can benefit from our experts at Blume Skin & Body. **What Is A Thread Lift?** A[ thread lift](/pdo-thread-lift/) is a type of anti-aging treatment that involves inserting specialized threads in the face and lifting them and the skin to a more upright position. There, the threads dissolve over time and stimulate new collagen production. The goal is to give you a younger-looking appearance without fine lines and mild sagging. Thread lift procedures are less invasive compared to traditional facelift surgery and focus on areas of the face prone to wrinkles. A thread lift can last for a couple of years with the right anti-aging regimen. **What Is A Facelift?** A facelift or rhytidectomy is a cosmetic surgery under anesthesia designed to restore sagging skin to a tighter, younger-looking appearance. A facelift is one of the most common forms of plastic surgery. It involves surgical removal of excess, sagging skin around the cheeks and jawline. It also lifts and restores the sagging tissues under the skin like muscles and fat pads. It requires up to 6 months to fully recover but it can produce results that last 5-10years. **The Difference Between the Facelift and Thread Lifts** Whereas a facelift involves surgery with general anesthesia, a thread lift uses less invasive medical-grade threading to restore the skin to a smoother, more upright position. While the thread lift comes with less downtime, it's only effective for patients who have mild to moderate signs of aging. For more substantial sagging and excess skin, a facelift might be required. **Do I Need a Facelift or a Thread Lift?** If you have moderate aging signs and want to avoid surgery, then thread lifts can be an effective option. Our team can even help you put together a [complete anti-aging regimen](/services/) to support your results and put off the need for a facelift for years to come. **Schedule A Consultation** The thread lift is an exciting new option for rejuvenating your look.

The older thought was that the more aggressive we made the chemical peels, the better they worked and the quicker the results. Studies now show that you are better off maintaining a consistent and frequent schedule of light chemical peels with multiple acids rather than a deep [chemical peel](/chemical-peel/) with 1 or 2 acids. Some of the benefits of chemical peels are to remove dead surface cells but also clean out pores, lighten pigmentation, soften fine lines, and help with acne. With our PCA peels like Ultra Peel 1, you will get similar results but with less downtime. Professional skin care products like PCA Skin Care used in conjunction with peels will only improve the long term results and will help illuminate the skin and keep it soft and supple in between PCA chemical peels.

Sounds too good to be true, doesn't it? [](https://influx-site-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/blumeskintreatment.com/blog/bblphoto.jpg) I attended a seminar in which Dr. Patrick Bitter was teaching the Forever Young BBL treatment. Dr. Bitter is the Godfather of PhotoFacials, he has done extensive studies including the famous 10 year study with Stanford University. The Bitter/Stanford study followed a group of women ages 30's to 50's. The women began with three PhotoFacials the first year of the study, for the next 9 years they had one or two a year. After ten years, photos were taken and double blind panels of skin experts were asked to identify the beginning photo from ten years prior. The experts could not tell the difference between the photos or choose the more recent photo. All participations in the study showed that their skin had not aged in 10 years. I love that study. I have been an advocate of PhotoFacials for years. The term PhotoFacial or IPL, [intense pulsed light](/ipl-bbl-laser/), or BBL, broadband light are basically the same procedure. The machine that Dr. Bitter uses is the Sciton BBL, which is the same machine that The Blume Skin Centre uses. PhotoFacials are great for removing pigment and reducing vessels and giving an overall brightening to the skin with the added benefit of collagen induction. Photofacials require no down time; you can have a PhotoFacial at lunch and go back to work. The treatment takes about one hour; we apply topical numbing cream to assist with the minor discomfort. After the treatment you may apply make-up and continue on with your normal routine. This month at The Blume Skin Centre we are offering our "Get rid of Sun Damage and Remove your Spots" special. The price for face, neck, chest and hands is only $350, which is a savings of $300. Get your fall glow on with this September special.

Cheek fillers offer a non-surgical solution to restore youthful contours and enhance facial harmony. **Understanding Cheek Fillers** Cheek fillers are injectable treatments designed to add volume and definition to the cheek area. They can address age-related volume loss, enhance cheekbone structure, and smooth fine lines. Commonly used fillers include hyaluronic acid-based products like Juvéderm®, which is known for its safety and effectiveness. [Juvederm](https://www.juvederm.com/treatment/cheek-fillers) **Benefits of Cheek Fillers** - **Restored Volume:** Cheek fillers replenish lost volume, giving the face a fuller, more youthful appearance. - **Enhanced Contours:** They accentuate the cheekbones, adding definition and balance to facial features. - **Non-Surgical Solution:** The procedure is minimally invasive, with little to no downtime, allowing patients to resume daily activities promptly. - **Immediate Results:** Patients often notice improvements right after the treatment, with full results developing over the following days. **The Cheek Filler Procedure at Blume Skin & Body** At Blume Skin & Body, our experienced practitioners begin with a comprehensive consultation to understand your aesthetic goals and assess your facial anatomy.

Who wouldn't want to look as fabulous as Christie Brinkley does at 65! "[Ultherapy](/ultherapy/) is the only FDA-cleared, non-invasive procedure that lifts and tightens the neck, chin and brow, and improves lines and wrinkles on the chest." This procedure uses ultrasound energy to lift and tighten the skin naturally. No surgery, no downtime. You can get the procedure and go about your day and no one will know you just had a life changing treatment. This ultrasound therapy delivers a collagen boosting treatment directly to the areas we need most and will be the most beneficial. Starting in our mid-20's our natural collagen production starts to decline by about 1-1.7% each year and is never replenished. Once we reach 30 years old the effects of collagen loss become more noticeable. Why is collagen so important? It is the protein in the body that gives structure to your bones, muscles, skin and all other connective tissue. It is the "glue" that holds our face up. It is the magic that keeps those awful chest lines from forming on all of those side sleepers. The less our body produces the more we show signs of age with fine lines, wrinkles and sagging skin. The focused ultrasound from [Ultherapy](/ultherapy/) builds collagen by sending energy to the skin's foundational level without disrupting or injuring the surface of the skin. Unlike other modalities for skin resurfacing, lasers, radio-frequency [microneedling](/hydrafacial-dp4-microneedling/) and other technologies, [Ultherapy](/ultherapy/) delivers energy to the right depth at the right temperature. This jumpstarts our bodies natural regenerative process that starts collagen production. Some people are hyper responders and see results right after their treatment, however, the real results appear 2-3 months after treatment and continue to work for 12 months. You will see lifted skin on the treated areas as well as smoother skin on the brow and chest. [Ultherapy](/ultherapy/) won't duplicate the results of a facelift, but it is a safe alternative to surgery and can also extend the effects of cosmetic surgery. [Ultherapy](/ultherapy/) has recently changed the protocol due to extensive study to improve collagen production and obtain an increased linear lift. Our certified advanced technicians were a part of the first training offered and have seen excellent results by using this new protocol. Blume Skin & Body is excited to continue on this enhanced treatment path. You can achieve these rewarding results in just one treatment. The first thing you need to do is schedule a one-on-one consultation with [Sandra Caldwell, our Practice Director](/about/meet-the-team/). She has been treating patients with [Ultherapy](/ultherapy/) for the past 6 years. During your complimentary 30-minute consultation she will address your skin concerns and assess your skin to determine if you are a candidate for [Ultherapy](/ultherapy/) or if one of our other treatments would suit you better. However, if you are between the ages of 25-75, you are most likely a candidate. After scheduling your appointment, you won't need to do anything else. This procedure doesn't make you sun sensitive, so you can keep using your retinols and it doesn't use needles, so you don't need to stop taking fish oils. We, at Blume Skin & Body, are concerned with patient comfort and we may recommend an over-the-counter or prescribed medication before the treatment. We also offer Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas), which is similar to what is used at the dentist office for pain management, to help relax and calm you. At Blume Skin & Body your treatment is very easy and straightforward. In your treatment room the area(s) to be treated will be cleansed and a topical numbing cream will be applied. You will sit in a darkened room with calm music playing for about 20 minutes relaxing. The numbing cream helps you feel less of the warmth coming from the handpiece. After the numbing cream is removed, the technician will apply ultrasound gel to the first area to be treated and place the smooth treatment applicator against your skin. They will use the ultrasound imaging to see deep within your skin and find the optimal placement of the energy. You will feel tiny amounts of energy, which may feel warm, this indicates that the collagen-building process has been started. This sensation only lasts while the energy is being delivered. Depending on the area(s) being treated the entire appointment takes from 1 to 2 hours. After you are done you are rewarded with a snack and apple juice. We find that this helps with elevating the blood sugar and is overall really helpful for patient comfort. After your treatment you can return to normal activities without any restrictions. Any redness you may have will disappear within a few hours. We apply Colorescience All Calm SPF50, which greatly reduces any redness and even though you aren't sun sensitive is a great sun protectant. Any slight swelling, tingling or tenderness to the touch will be mild and temporary. Here are some frequently asked questions: **How much does it cost?** The pricing is determined based on the area(s) being treated. However, you don't want to make your decision based on price. Always look at the experience of the technician, the practice reputation and online reviews. Blume Skin & Body often offers monthly specials and if there are any available, they will be discussed during your consultation. **How many treatments does it take?** Depending on the patient's age, the treatment lasts for 2 - 5 years. However, some patients maybe benefit from treatments more often due to their skin laxity and their body's response to the collagen building process. Because we are always aging, future touch ups can help provide more control over the aging process, which varies by person. **How is **[**Ultherapy**](/ultherapy/)** different from laser treatments?** [Ultherapy](/ultherapy/) uses energy which allows it to bypass the skin's surface and address laxity issues at a deeper level. The ultrasound delivery stimulates collagen production, lifting tissue over two to three months. Typically, laser treatments only treat superficial skin issues and are not FDA-cleared to lift skin. **Does it hurt?** A recent software upgrade called "Ulthera Amplify" now affords a more comfortable procedure. While comfort thresholds vary from patient to patient, most patients now report that the procedure is quite tolerable. If and when any discomfort does occur, it happens while the ultrasound energy is being delivered. This sensation is temporary and is a positive signal that the collagen-building process has been initiated. We take measures to make the experience as pleasant as possible, and patients tell us they leave comfortable and excited about the benefits to come. On the Blume Skin & Body website we have a really cool way to see how Ulthera will work for you.

Researchers from the University of Texas Southwestern, Austin, found that [botulinum](/botox/) treatments injected between the eyebrows had an anti-depressive effect even after the treatment wore off and wrinkles returned. This suggests that the improvement in mood isn't related solely to the treatments' cosmetic benefits. The most significant finding is that the anti-depressant effects of the treatment lasted beyond the cosmetic effects. Even when patients' frown lines went back to normal, their depression symptoms continued to get better. What this means is that more study is warranted to see if this may be another tool in the treatment of depression but not a replacement for current therapy.

Millions of consumers rely on BOTOX each year to stay ### Content If you're searching for an easy and effective way to freshen your appearance, you're in luck. Millions of consumers rely on [BOTOX](/botox/) each year to stay looking youthful and line-free. BOTOX injections are non-invasive, and they have few side-effects and virtually no downtime. Best of all, the results provided by BOTOX are both temporary and repeatable. If you don't like your post-treatment look, you can wait for BOTOX to wear off on its own. If you do, you can safely have your injections repeated just before your treated, dynamic wrinkles reappear. ## **What Is BOTOX?** Derived from the botulinum toxin, BOTOX is a purified neurotoxin that temporarily immobilizes targeted muscles. Although it's ineffective for smoothing out deep, static creases or replacing age-related losses in facial volume, it's perfect for treating dynamic or movement-related wrinkles in high-expression areas. ## **BOTOX Releases Dynamic Wrinkles** During a BOTOX treatment, tiny amounts of this product are injected in areas that crinkle and crease when people smile, frown, or make other facial movements. As the treated muscles relax, surface wrinkles disappear, and the skin's underlying, defining collagen layer lies smooth and flat. ## **What Areas Does BOTOX Treat? ** BOTOX treats brow or frown lines that travel vertically between the eyes, forehead lines that travel horizontally across the forehead, and crow's feet or tiny creases that radiate outwards from the corners of the eyes. If you smoke or frequently use straws when drinking beverages, you can also use BOTOX to reduce the appearance of peri-oral wrinkles or "smoker's lines". These are short, deep creases that radiate outward around the mouth. Unlike static wrinkles which are present and visible all of the time, dynamic wrinkles only appear when the muscle contractions that have caused them are repeated. For instance, if you have crow's feet, they'll only manifest when you laugh or smile. Peri-oral wrinkles make an appearance each time the lips are pursed, and frown lines show up when people are actively expressing anger. Following BOTOX treatment, you can make your normal range of facial expressions without having dynamic wrinkles reveal your age. ## **How Often Should I Get BOTOX** The effects of BOTOX injections typically last between three and four months. BOTOX injections can be safely repeated every 120 days or longer. ## **Other Best Practices for BOTOX** BOTOX is a multi-functional product. In addition to various cosmetic applications, it's also FDA-approved to treat migraine headaches, [hyperhidrosis](/hyperhidrosis-treatment/), and jaw pain. However, it's hardly a "fix-all" solution. With the visible effects of normal aging both progressive and unstoppable, there may come a time when your anti-aging plan requires the addition of other measures. For instance, many people seamlessly pair BOTOX with hyaluronic acid-based fillers to both restore lost facial volume and remove dynamic and static creasing. BOTOX can also be safely paired with skin renewing and skin resurfacing treatments like micro-dermabrasion, laser treatments, photofacials, micro-needling, hydra-facials, and [chemical peels](/chemical-peel/). ## **Schedule a Consultation Appointment** At Blume Skin & Body, we offer an expansive range of non-invasive and minimally invasive cosmetic procedures.

BOTOX treats brow or frown lines that travel vertically between the eyes, forehead lines that travel horizontally across the forehead, and crow's feet or tiny creases that radiate outwards from the corners of the eyes. If you smoke or frequently use straws when drinking beverages, you can also use BOTOX to reduce the appearance of peri-oral wrinkles or "smoker's lines". These are short, deep creases that radiate outward around the mouth. Unlike static wrinkles which are present and visible all of the time, dynamic wrinkles only appear when the muscle contractions that have caused them are repeated. For instance, if you have crow's feet, they'll only manifest when you laugh or smile. Peri-oral wrinkles make an appearance each time the lips are pursed, and frown lines show up when people are actively expressing anger. Following BOTOX treatment, you can make your normal range of facial expressions without having dynamic wrinkles reveal your age. ## How Often Should I Get BOTOX The effects of BOTOX injections typically last between three and four months. BOTOX injections can be safely repeated every 120 days or longer. However, with repeated injections, some people may experience a phenomenon known as muscle conditioning. With muscle conditioning, treated muscles gradually become prone to maintaining their relaxed state. Thus, those who use BOTOX regularly might eventually find that they only need "touch-ups" every five to six months. ## Other Best Practices for BOTOX BOTOX is a multi-functional product. In addition to various cosmetic applications, it's also FDA-approved to treat migraine headaches, hyperhidrosis, and jaw pain. However, it's hardly a "fix-all" solution. With the visible effects of normal aging both progressive and unstoppable, there may come a time when your anti-aging plan requires the addition of other measures. For instance, many people seamlessly pair BOTOX with hyaluronic acid-based fillers to both restore lost facial volume and remove dynamic and static creasing. BOTOX can also be safely paired with skin renewing and skin resurfacing treatments like micro-dermabrasion, micro-needling, hydra-facials, and chemical peels. ## Strategic Application vs. Overuse Also among BOTOX's best practices is strategic application vs. overuse. Injecting only small amounts of this solution in each targeted area produces the most natural-looking results. Using BOTOX too often or overusing it in select areas isn't the best way to reach your cosmetic goals. ## Schedule a Consultation Appointment At Blume Skin & Body, we offer an expansive range of non-invasive and minimally invasive cosmetic procedures.

Points are earned for every Botox or Juvederm treatment or Latisse purchase. Those points can be used to create a coupon that you can apply to future Botox or Juvederm treatments or Latisse purchase. Patients are given a Welcome Packet explaining how to register for the program and how to manage their points. I decided early on that our office could offer Brilliant Distinctions or better yet, we could be Distinctly Brilliant. I was curious about what I was asking our patients to do- how easy is registration? How do I get my points to use for treatments? I gathered up the registration form and logged on to create an account for myself. I did exactly what I "would" ask our patients to do...and made the immediate decision that in order to set our practice apart from all the other practices in Scottsdale, I was going to make the conscious decision to be Distinctly Brilliant. Rather than ask them to register and manage their account, I began registering our patients while they were in the office. I explained the benefits of the program and made a commitment that I would always update their account so that they could utilize their points that very day. I also decided that I would keep track of various added discount programs offered by Allergan, such as the Duet Dividends Program or the Latisse Real Deal Rebate. By making the decision to be our patients' advocate, I am able to offer immediate discounts ranging from $25 for a Botox treatment or an instant discount of $125 for a Juvederm and Botox treatment. No filling out forms. No printing up vouchers that are left at home on the counter. No more trying to remember passwords. No more expired points. The Blume Skin Centre is proud of the fact that 100% of our patients are enrolled in Brilliant Distinctions, reaching our goal to be Distinctly Brilliant.

My ### Content "Will I bruise?" This is a question I get almost every day while injecting facial fillers like [Voluma](/dermal-fillers/), [Juvederm](/dermal-fillers/), [Restylane](/injectables-overview/), [Sculptra](/dermal-fillers/) and [Radiesse](/radiesse/). My answer is always the same, "Prepare to bruise and if you don't, GREAT!" There are many factors that can cause bruising such as depth of the injection, areas of major vessels, alcohol, over the counter and prescription medications*, etc. Any time a needle is put into the skin with facial fillers or even [BOTOX](/botox/) there is a risk for bruising. Does the risk out way the reward of fuller cheeks and fewer wrinkles, I say yes! That being said, here are a few ways to help avoid the amount of bruising and swelling. . Discontinue the use of Advil, ibuprofen, aspirin, fish oils, vitamin E, etc. at least 5 days prior to your treatment as well as alcohol 24 hours or more prior to injections. . Use Ocumend patches by Cearna after injections. These significantly help reduce the risk of bruising. The patches contain Arnica and Ledum to reduce bruising, pain and swelling. These patches contain 50 times the potency of competing products and are designed to reduce bruising by 90% if used correctly. We recommend purchasing a pack of 2 and applying immediately after facial fillers for 6 hours, then applying the second set before bed for another 6 hours. . Start using PREVederm; a bruise minimizing serum by Neocutis twice daily for 1-2 weeks prior to injections. This serum contains Hamamelis Virginiana Extract to help prepare and strengthen your skin, reduce the appearance of bruising and puffiness as well as defend against oxidative stress. As injectors we do our best to avoid bruising our patients when possible, however everyone's anatomy varies, so while you may bruise one time, you may not the next. *Please speak with your healthcare provider before stopping any prescribed anticoagulants or blood pressure medications.

Being unbelievably fed up is an understatement. ### Content ## Why The Sun is More Harmful Then Helpful to Your Skin The year is 2002, you have a party to attend in a few weeks and you have been dealing with acne for months. Being unbelievably fed up is an understatement. Your best friend suggests going tanning or laying in the sun to dry up your acne. The thought of getting a little tan is enticing too. Having a little color may conceal the acne as well! Your friend has been tanning for a week and it's helping her..... until it doesn't anymore. In theory this method makes sense right? The suns ultra violet rays can dry the skin. So if you are dealing with acne, you must have oily skin, therefore the sun will dry up the acne. It may feel like the sun is doing something to your acne for maybe a week or so, but this is actually the complete opposite and very dangerous for your skin. The sun doesn't actually dry out sebum (oil) on your skin. It dries the actual skin. As a result to the skin being dry, your oil glands will then produce more oil as a response to the dryness. Picture a little army of oil coming out with a vengeance trying to protect and hydrate the skin that is in need. "We must attack the dryness! Come on troops hydrate on the double!" As a result of the oily army's attempt to protect and secret, this then produces more breakouts and deep rooted clogged pores. ### Getting Down to the Basics Acne is not all created equal, and each different type of acne should NOT be treated the same. The most common types are cystic acne, which is typically hormonal, very red, inflamed and painful, acne due to oily skin and acne due to dry skin (which is more common than you'd think). Adding UV light to inflamed painful acne is only going to inflame it more. Adding UV light to dry skin that has acne will only make it more dry and create more of a breeding ground for acne. Adding UV light to oily skin that has acne will only dry out the very surface of the skin, making it almost impossible for the oil to secret properly. Therefore creating more oil as your oil glands are trying to produce more since it is unable to secret thoroughly. Now that we know what the UV rays can do to acne in the beginning stages of "trying to dry it up'. Let's talk the aftermath. Picture this, you fall on the pavement, scrape your knee. It bleeds, and scabs over. You treat it, maybe with ointment and a bandaid. You keep it covered so that it can heal properly, since there is brand new skin underneath that scab. We want to protect it so that it doesn't scar. So let's circle back to your face. The scab on your knee is the breakout on your face. It is healing skin that has been inflamed, irritated, and perhaps picked at (hopefully not). If the skin isn't protected against the UV rays you can develop Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) and /or increased scarring. Acne prone/broken out skin is healing skin, combining healing skin to UV rays is a recipe for sun damage, which is even harder to remove than the acne itself. Here are a few solutions to help treat the acne and keep it safe at the same time. ### Facials: Getting facials on a regular basis (4-6 weeks apart) can help reduce the amount of breakouts that pop up. [Facials](/medical-grade-facials/) help to kill acne causing bacteria and soothes the skin from irritation that comes with painful acne. Extractions during a medical facial are extremely important. The bacteria that is lodged in the pores won't just "come out" and you can't just "scrub or wash it away". It physically needs to be removed just the right way. [](/blog/but-the-sun-dries-out-my-acne/) ### Peels: [Chemical peels](/chemical-peel/) are a great way to help kill bacteria from acne, break down the thick dead layer of skin on the surface of the epidermis, and target acne scars and hyperpigmentation (PIH). Deep set clogged pores can not be removed with a [chemical peel](/chemical-peel/) as it works from the inside layers out. A facial like I stated above would be the best option to start. [](/blog/but-the-sun-dries-out-my-acne/) ### Microneedling and Laser: These minimally invasive [treatments](/about/meet-the-team/) are fantastic for helping to eliminate acne scars, PIH, and redness (broken capillaries and broken blood vessels). However, if your acne is still active, meaning if your acne is still bacteria filled and inflamed, these methods will have to be put on hold until the acne is under control. [](/blog/but-the-sun-dries-out-my-acne/) Lastly, finding yourself a highly skilled Medical Esthetician that is well versed in acne is huge. Like I stated above, acne is not all created equal. So treating it should be customized. There was a time where doing at-home beauty treatments were all the rage, putting toothpaste on a blemish was the "go-to" and reading Cosmo was a great way to find beauty hacks. Well, its a new day my dear, and beauty is at the hand of the esthetician. One hand has all your customized treatments ready to take charge. The other hand is holding yours during this confusing time. We are here to help you all along the way of your skincare journey. Whatever your journey may be, we got your back.

Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles. . Improvement in acne and acne scaring. . Fades brown spots and uneven skin tone from sun damage including melasma. . Improves the overall tone and texture of your skin. A [chemical peel](/chemical-peel/) is a skincare treatment that improves the appearance of the skin on the face,neck,decollete and hands. There are many different types of solutions that the Licensed Aesthetician can use to treat different conditions of the skin depending on the client's needs. A chemical solution is applied to the skin that causes it to exfoliate and peel off leaving you with radiant skin. Having peels done on a regular basis (say, every 6-8 weeks) will lead to collagen stimulation that improves the appearance of wrinkles. **The Blume Skin Centre offers many different peels to complement each skin type and condition. ** **"Lunchtime Peels"** are very popular for people that want a brighter complexion without any downtime. We offer a **Red Carpet Facial** that includes steam, extractions and a mask with the addition of a **Epionce Refresh peel.** This peel includes a gentle combination of acids that improves the appearance of texture, acne, and relieves skin congestion and dullness with no downtime. **Medium depth peels** are perfect for the client that wants to see some improvement in one peel and skin correction in a series of treatments. The latest technology in peels that The Blume Skin Centre offers is **MDResurfacing** by MDRejuvena. With these peels we can gradually increase the strength with each peel leaving you with only 2-3 days of a light flake. These peels are done in a series of 3 treatments specializing in aged skin or sun damaged skin. They have the strength and precision of a medical grade resurfacing procedure with the comfort and elegance of a European treatment. With the addition of a take home skincare regimen included into the series of peels you will be better prepared and on your way to more youthful looking skin. We offer **two medium to deep peels** at The Blume Skin Centre. The **VI Peel** and **The Perfect Peel** can make a difference in your skin in as little as one week. This quick pain-free procedure is specifically formulated to rejuvenate aging skin and help prevent future damage. You will experience about 3-5 days of peeling. We also have the option to add "boosters" to the peel to enhance the efficacy of more severe sun damaged skin or acne scaring. Chemical Peels may sound scary but they are the fastest way to reverse skin damage and aging. It is important to have a consultation with your skincare professional to go over a thorough skin analysis and skincare history. There are certain factors your Aesthetician will need to know before doing the procedure (most importantly to discontinue any use of Retin A or Retinol 3-5 days before having a peel). We are here to help you achieve your skin goals and to determine what treatments will be both safe and most effective to your needs.

What can you do when stubborn ### Content [CoolSculpting](/coolsculpting/) We all have made our New Year's resolutions and vowing to stay true to our goals in this new decade 2020. What can you do when stubborn fat just won't bulge? Coolsculpting can help take you further to reach your body goals. It's called stubborn fat for a reason: no matter how much you eat healthy and exercise, it's seems impossible to lose those resistant fat bulges. I am talking about the muffin top, spare tire, love handles, inner thighs, saddle bags, double chin, arms, knees, bra bulge, back fat, back of thighs (banana roll), and of course the stomach. Coolsculpting has FDA clearance for nine areas of the body, the procedure is the #1 non-surgical fat reduction method in the world. That's exactly why Blume Skin & Body has been performing CoolSculpting for 8 years, by treating over 5,000 satisfied patients. Coolsculpting's fat freezing technology gives long term results to those fat bulges by reducing the number of cells by 25% -30%. Fat cells don't like cold temperatures, and after 35 - 45 minutes those treated fat cells will freeze and experience a natural cell death. Once that happens, your body will naturally eliminate the dead cells in 1-4 months, resulting in 25% - 30% reduced fat cells in the treated area. Procedures that use laser, sonic waves and even surgery to remove fat can actually damage other tissue in the process by burning, shattering, or extracting non-fat cells. This requires downtime for your body to heal, totally uncool. Developed by Harvard scientists, the unique, FDA-cleared, patented procedures use a targeting cooling process that kills the fat cells in the subcutaneous fat layer below the skin and above the muscle. Only the fat cells are frozen. Unlike other procedures, CoolSculpting at Blume Skin & Body takes very little time and is simple to fit into your daily life. The procedure is very comfortable for most patients, you can feel a slight suction and then followed by a cold sensation for 35 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the handpiece used. After the treatment is over, the hand piece is removed the frozen tissue is gently massaged. After your treatment you can typically get right back to your busy day. With short treatment times, it is easy to fit in couple of treatment areas on your lunch break. After your CoolScupting treatment at Blume Skin & Body, you'll typically see a noticeable reduction of fat in the treatment area. It takes a few months to fully realize the total effect, mainly because it takes that long for your body to naturally dispose of the fat cells. Blume Skin & Body offers a product from Alastin Skincare, Transform Body Treatment that can accelerate the results of your CoolSculpting treatment. Alastin's star ingredient Hexapeptide-11, the brand's patent-pending LipoDrone Delivery System that allows the product to penetrate deep into the skin where it helps to accelerate the body's natural process of removing post-procedure fat debris. Depending on your goals, additional CoolSculpting treatments can be performed for further fat reduction. Before and after pictures are taken, and you and your CoolSculpting expert at Blume Skin & Body can discuss your expectations and decide if additional treatments are necessary. After a few months, your clothes will fit better and you will feel more confident. Coolsculpting is the gold standard in non-surgical fat reduction. As long as you maintain your normal diet and exercise, your long-term results should remain stable. Great way to start the new decade, please call Blume Skin & Body for your complimentary consultation to discuss your body sculpting treatment plan with CoolSculpting.

The results continue to improve over time, and patients may be able to achieve the look they couldn't achieve with other treatments. ### 3) The Injections Are Safe The injectable is safe. Patients often use it to avoid complications from other invasive surgeries. And since it's FDA-approved, it has been through a long and thorough testing process and proven safe. ## Daxxify Side Effects While Daxxify results in a smooth, wrinkle-free appearance, like most treatments, it does have side effects. Depending on the patient, these side effects can range from severe to mild. Some of the more common side effects: ### Headache Some patients have complained of headaches when using Daxxify. Especially if it's injected in the forehead area. Talk to your doctor if you are experiencing a headache related to the injection. ### Eye Irritation When Daxxify is injected into the skin around the eyes, irritation is possible. This irritation may range from mild to severe. If you experience irritation, talk to your doctor about treatment for the irritation. ## Is Daxxify Worth It? Daxxify is worth it for patients who want to eliminate their wrinkles, particularly those that occur underneath the eyes and forehead. Many patients choose injections because they are cost-effective, risk-free, and deliver fast results. Daxxify is particularly good for older adults who want to look and feel younger. ## Daxxify Results and Recovery People can notice results within one or two days of treatment and full effect at 14 days. However, it is essential to note that the results can vary from patient to patient. And with no downtime, you can go about your daily routine immediately. Daxxify lasts 4-6 months. ## Schedule a Consultation Daxxify is a great way to eliminate unwanted wrinkles and improve your overall appearance. Want to know more?

True! ### Content I read in a medical journal that people are injecting product bought at a home improvement store stating it is silicone but used as [dermal fillers](/injectables-overview/). True! One patient paid $1000 for each of four treatments after being injected in the buttocks and found herself in the hospital for 10 days. Silicone was found in her lung. In another incident, a woman was arrested after injecting tire repair liquid for buttock enhancement into another individual. All of the incidents reported were the result of poor judgment and bargain hunting by the person getting injected as well as illegalities by the injector. As mentioned before in this blog, look for value in dermal filler and cosmetic procedures. If you're having silicone (or [Botox](/botox/), [Juvederm](/dermal-fillers/), [Restylane](/injectables-overview/), [Radiesse](/radiesse/)) injected in someone's home, who knows where it came from or from what it is really made? Ask yourself if this is really worth the bargain basement price. Look instead for value. My advice is to go to someone you know and trust or someone who has been recommended by someone you trust. It doesn't need to be a plastic surgeon or dermatologist, but someone who has real experience. He or she needs to be licensed. People come to our office after seeing before and after results so they know what they are getting. If you are not sure, you can always ask to see the product before it is used. Any reliable injector would be happy to accommodate this request.

Are you ready to unveil a radiant, healthier-looking complexion? Our newly introduced GLO²Facial, formerly known as Geneo Facial, promises to transform your skin through a unique combination of exfoliation, oxygenation, and nourishment, ensuring you leave with a vibrant glow. ## What is a GLO²Facial? GLO²Facial harnesses a technology inspired by the natural rejuvenating properties of hot springs, which are rich in carbon dioxide. This innovative treatment replicates the Bohr Effect, a natural reaction within the body that drives oxygen to the skin's surface when exposed to high levels of CO2. The GLO²Facial treatment begins with the application of a special gel that interacts with the skin to create tiny CO2 bubbles. This stimulates oxygen-rich blood flow to the surface, enhancing cellular renewal. Alongside this oxygenation process, the skin undergoes a gentle exfoliation that unclogs pores and smooths the skin, concluding with a rich infusion of vitamins and nutrients tailored to your skin's needs. ## The Benefits of GLO²Facial Choosing a GLO²Facial at Blume Skin & Body offers multiple benefits: - Enhanced Skin Tone and Texture: Achieve a smoother, more even skin tone with improved texture. - Increased Firmness and Hydration: Experience firmer, more supple skin with enhanced hydration levels. - Protection and Strength: Strengthen your skin's barrier against environmental aggressors and aging. ## Personalized Treatment Options At Blume Skin & Body, we believe in personalized care. Depending on your skin type and concerns, you can choose from various GLO²Facial treatments: - Geneo Revive: Ideal for mature skin, enhancing elasticity and smoothing fine lines with ingredients like Red Algae and Caffeic Acid. - Geneo Glam: Focuses on preventing premature aging, hydrating, and strengthening the skin barrier. - Geneo Illuminate: Targets hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone with Vitamin C and Kojic Acid. - Geneo Balance: Perfect for oily, acne-prone skin using ingredients like Bamboo Charcoal and Willow Bark. - Geneo Hydrate: A hydration boost for dry or dull skin, featuring Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin B5. - Geneo Detox: Protects against environmental damage and soothes with Green Tea Extract and Marula Oil. - Champagne Facial: A luxury treatment combining Geneo with an Illuminize peel for a red-carpet-ready glow. ## Why Choose Blume Skin & Body?

One standout treatment ### Content As the early spring months grace Scottsdale, residents often seek effective methods to rejuvenate their skin after winter's toll. One standout treatment gaining prominence is [Sciton's BroadBand Light (BBL) therapy](/sciton-bbl-moxi/). Celebrated for its versatility and efficacy, BBL offers a comprehensive solution to various skin concerns, making it an ideal choice for those aiming to refresh their complexion during this season.​ ## Discover the Power of Sciton BBL Sciton BBL is an advanced form of [intense pulsed light](/ipl-bbl-laser/) (IPL) therapy that utilizes a broad spectrum of light wavelengths to target multiple skin layers. This non-invasive treatment addresses a wide range of skin issues, including sun damage, age spots, redness, and uneven skin tone. By delivering precise light energy, BBL stimulates collagen production, leading to improved skin texture and elasticity.​ ## Why Choose BBL? Unmatched Versatility One of the most significant advantages of Sciton BBL is its versatility. It can effectively treat various skin concerns, such as:​ - **Sun Damage and Hyperpigmentation**: BBL helps fade sun spots and hyperpigmentation, resulting in a more even complexion.​ - **Age Spots and Freckles**: The treatment reduces the appearance of brown spots and freckles, enhancing skin clarity.​ - **Rosacea and Redness**: BBL minimizes redness and visible blood vessels, providing relief for individuals with rosacea.​ - **Fine Lines and Wrinkles**: By stimulating collagen production, BBL smooths out fine lines, promoting a youthful appearance.​ - **Acne and Acne Scars**: The therapy targets acne-causing bacteria and reduces inflammation, improving active acne and residual scarring.​ This adaptability makes BBL suitable for individuals with diverse skin types and concerns, offering a tailored approach to skincare.​ ## Spring into Radiance: The Ideal Season for BBL in Scottsdale Early spring is an optimal time to undergo BBL treatments, especially in Scottsdale, due to milder weather conditions and reduced sun exposure. This timing allows the skin to heal more effectively and reduces the risk of post-treatment pigmentation issues. Additionally, addressing skin concerns in spring prepares the complexion for the sunnier months ahead, ensuring a radiant and healthy appearance.​ ## Quick Transformation with Minimal Downtime BBL treatments are known for their minimal downtime. Most sessions last between 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the treatment area, making it convenient for individuals with busy schedules. Patients may experience mild redness or swelling immediately after the procedure, but these effects typically subside within a few hours to a couple of days. Visible improvements can often be seen after just one session, with optimal results achieved through a series of treatments.​ ## Safety and Efficacy: Trust in Advanced Technology Sciton BBL is designed to be used for a broad range of skin types. Its advanced technology allows practitioners to customize the treatment to suit each patient's unique skin concerns and complexion. This personalized approach ensures optimal results and minimizes the risk of adverse effects, making it a reliable choice for skin rejuvenation.​ ## Embrace a New Glow This Spring Sciton BBL stands out as a versatile and effective solution for individuals seeking comprehensive skin rejuvenation. Its ability to address multiple skin concerns with minimal downtime makes it an attractive option, particularly during the early spring months in Scottsdale. By choosing BBL, patients can achieve a refreshed and youthful complexion, ready to embrace the upcoming seasons with confidence.

So much skincare, how to choose the best concoction for your skin care concerns? With skincare cocktailing ### Content **What does skin care product cocktailing mean?** So much skincare, how to choose the best concoction for your skin care concerns? With skincare cocktailing you can mix premium skin product brands to design the perfect skincare routine for you. What skincare products can I mix together safely? Here is a general rule of thumb with choosing skincare products according to specific skin types. -Foaming Cleanser- is a great option for that "clean" feeling and preferably those with combination or oily skin. -Lotion/Creamy Cleanser- gentle enough for all skin types and also a great makeup remover. Preferably those that have dry skin, sensitive skin, reactive skin and using topical prescriptions and retinol. -Exfoliating Cleanser- not advised for active acne, or rosacea, but great for clogged pores and once weekly exfoliation. -Antioxidant Serums- designed for brightening and free radical protection. Great for all skin types except acne. -Hyaluronic Acid serum- perfect for everyone, even acne -Growth Factor and Peptide Serums - excellent choice for antiaging and overall skin health -Retinol- recommended to be advised by a medical aesthetician for dosing. Not recommended for pregnant woman, breastfeeding woman or taking Accutane. Those were just a few standard skincare products to choose from. Let's get down to the nitty gritty. Your mom's neighbor's daughter is selling a multilevel marketing skincare line and you are interested in learning about the products because you have been on an uphill battle with your skin. This line seems simple, there's a "kit" for acne, a "kit" for anti-aging, a "kit" for dry skin. Easy peasy pick a kit and abracadabra your skin is fixed! Not quite. The pre-picked skincare kits sound great, with no thinking required. The trouble with this method is that not everyone can tolerate every product in an acne "kit" morning and night. Or the products in the anti-aging "kit". Or any of the "kits". Our skin is so complex. For example, there are a number of different varieties of acne. Hormone related, stress related, diet related, oil production, and so much more. It takes specific training and education to identify them. Along with aging skin, dry skin and sensitive skin. For the majority of the population, a combination of these categories is typical. We need to take into consideration each individual's skin type. Do they breakout still? Are they dry or oily? What's their sensitivity level? Are they reactive? This must be done BEFORE anything else. A good skincare routine is necessary to protect your investment in any laser treatments, [chemical peels](/chemical-peel/) or [photofacial](/ipl-bbl-laser/) treatments. For many, helping to erase and prevent fine lines, wrinkles and pigmentation are the goal. Of course, skin care alone can't turn back the clock, but skincare alongside good medical grade treatments can. But throwing them a cookie cutter anti-aging skincare "kit" isn't always the answer. Is the individual oily? If they are, the products may be too heavy for them. Are they prone to breakouts? Perhaps this would lead to unwanted blemishes. Then we have to fix acne and aging. A fun combo. Your Medical Aesthetician and Certified Laser Technician can help guide you through the maze of choices. Even treating acne can be tricky. A standard acne skincare "kit" can be extremely harmful to the skin. Typically, acne geared skincare can contain a combination of glycolic acid, salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, lactic acid, physical exfoliants and retinol. These are all amazing ingredients to help fight acne, kill bacteria and prevent future breakouts. But when these are used every day, twice a day, your results will be the complete opposite of what you were trying to achieve. The rule of thumb when cocktailing any skincare together is, if you are using any products that are drying, or that compromise the surface of the epidermis (retinol, salicylic acid, glycolic acid, etc.), you should be using a mild cleanser, a sunscreen and a denser moisturizer to balance out the dryness from the more aggressive products. Hyaluronic Acid is another amazing product to incorporate into your routine. Hyaluronic Acid is recommended for all skin types, especially acne. Using products that help to kill bacteria will leave the skin feeling dry and irritated. That's when Hyaluronic can play a major role is deep hydration without adding heavy moisturizer.

After hearing all about the pain associated with [Ultherapy](/ultherapy/), I chose to have my doctor give me two pills and took them one hour before them procedure. The answer is that it has does have associated pain, but with the pain pills prior I did not mind it at all and just laid there while having it done.I have had [BBL/IPL](/ipl-bbl-laser/) in the past with nothing but topical numbing cream that worked well and the Ultherapy was very similar.

There are so many benefits to exfoliation other than just achieving that instant soft glow. It can help with acne, aging and several different medical skin conditions. The skin has a natural exfoliation process where it sheds dead skin cells every 30 days. This process slows down as we age resulting in a dry, dull and rough textured complexion that can lead to clogged pores. Chemical and physical exfoliation are the two forms we can use to attain healthy cell regeneration, so let's break down the difference! When people think of exfoliating, the most common form would be mechanical or physical. This would be in the form of a facial scrub that you could use at home or from a device or treatment that you can receive here at Blume Skin & Body. Make sure you use medical grade skincare, or you could be doing more harm than good with products containing harsh or jagged beads that create tiny micro-tears in the skin. My two favorite products that we carry for this purpose are Exfoliating Polish from ZO Medical and Valmont's Face Scrub. Both products could be used 1-3 times a week depending on skin sensitivity. A product I like to use every day is the ZO Exfoliation Cleanser because it contains gentle jojoba beads and vitamin E that is calming enough to use daily. For even greater results, we offer medical grade facials and treatments like microdermabrasion and epidermal leveling that should ideally be done monthly and is customized to your skins needs by your Aesthetician. Chemical exfoliation is a method that uses different acids and enzymes to dissolve dead skin cells. Think of this like the 1980s Pac-Man game where the dots being eaten are the dry dull skin cells and Pac-man being the acid or enzyme. Alpha hydroxy acids (AHA's) like Glycolic and Beta hydroxy acids (BHA's) like Salicylic are used in both medical grade skincare and professional grade [chemical peels](/chemical-peel/). These acids exfoliate in different ways, making the combination of both safe to use together. AHA's cause the cells to detach from the epidermis, which is best for dry skin types and has anti-aging benefits. BHA's penetrate deeper to dissolve excess oil build up making this a great option for combination and oily skin types. Fruit enzymes like bromelain (pineapple!) are often used in skincare which is perfect for sensitive skin. You will see amazing results from using a combination of these ingredients consistently. All these methods are a fantastic way to get your exfoliating fix. Consulting with your Aesthetician is key to achieving your best skin yet. Whether it's a daily product regimen or an in-office treatment plan we have you covered here at Blume Skin & Body.

Wearing face masks are now mandatory and essential to keeping us safe in public. I have ### Content Face Mask Acne is Now a Thing How to prevent "Maskne" this summer. Wearing face masks are now mandatory and essential to keeping us safe in public. I have noticed several skin issues that have arisen due to the wearing of masks. Wearing a face mask for extended periods of time can lead to several unsightly skin problems. Especially during the summer heat, excessive sweat and bacterial build up between the mask and your skin. This can lead to clogged pores, acne breakouts and increased vascularity or redness with bumps. The masks can occlude the skin and prevent the release of heat that creates your own humidity, which causes dull irritated skin. Masks also provide the perfect environment for bacteria to grow, which can lead to irritation and breakouts. Your normal skin care routine; cleansing, exfoliation, moisturizing and sunblock help the natural shedding process of dead skin and also protects the skin barrier. Wearing a face mask can interfere with the shedding process. Those dead skin cells are trapped in your pores and create a buildup of sebum and bacteria which creates problems. If you are prone to eczema or rosacea, these irritations may trigger your symptoms. What can you do? 1. Most important is to clean your face often throughout the day when you are wearing a face mask. On the go cleansing cloths are great, [Colorescience hydrating cleansing cloths](/colorescience/) are easy and effective, also [ZO Skin Health Complexion Pads and Oil Controlling Pads](/zo-skin-health/) are both amazing for instant quick cleaning. 2. Don't skip the exfoliation process, super important with mask wearing. You may use a physical scrub like [Valmont Face Exfoliator](/valmont/), [ZO Skin Health Exfoliating Polish or Dual Action Scrub](/zo-skin-health/). All three are excellent to use in the shower after cleansing your skin to assist in deep cleaning. Another option for exfoliation is chemical exfoliators for nighttime use, try [Epionce Lytic TX](/epionce/), [ZO Skin Health Enzymatic Peel](/zo-skin-health/) or [NeoCutis Nouvelle Retinol](/neocutis/). These exfoliation steps will aid in the removal of dead skin cells, dirt debris and bacteria that can clog pores. Please don't forget to wear sunscreen daily to protect your skin barrier. 3. Try to avoid wearing makeup on your lower face and focus on your eyes instead. Don't forget a good lip balm, the lips are in constant contact with the mask and tend to dry out. 4. Take care of yourself with a skin treatment for deep pore cleansing, extra exfoliation and overall skin pampering. Blume Skin & Body has several COVID-19 rescue skin treatments to choose from. My favorites are: [ZO Skin Health 5 in 1 Super Facial](/zo-5-in-1-super-facial/), [Hydrafacial](/hydrafacial/) and [OxyGeneo](/geneo-facial/). All three of these skin treatments will exfoliate, purify, hydrate and promote oxygen to rescue the skin. Blume Skin & Body is a medical skin care center with the strictest sanitation protocols. The safety of our patients and staff is our top priority. What type of mask is best? 1. Cotton face masks are the best for your skin. Light and breathable, think of your favorite T-Shirt. The mask should be 2-3 layers and cover your nose and mouth to be effective. 2. Wash your mask. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends washing your mask after every use. It is recommended to have several masks to rotate so you always have a clean mask to wear. It is best to wash your masks in gentle detergent that is fragrance free to reduce the chance of an allergic irritation.

SAY GOODBYE TO STUBBORN FAT. It’s called stubborn fat for a reason: no matter how ### Content Blume Skin & Body presents [the CoolSculpting fat removal procedure!](/coolsculpting/) SAY GOODBYE TO STUBBORN FAT. It's called stubborn fat for a reason: no matter how much you eat healthy and exercise, it's virtually impossible to lose those annoying muffin tops, love handles and stomach fat as you get older. You're left with two options: live with them or think surgery. Neither is cool by us. That's exactly why Blume Skin & Body is offering CoolSculpting®. Only [CoolSculpting](/coolsculpting/) targets fat cells alone, eliminating them in an easy, nonintrusive fashion that exercise and diet can't achieve as quickly or as effectively. COOLSCULPTING AT BLUME SKIN & BODY IS THE MORE NATURAL SOLUTION FOR FAT LOSS. Procedures that use laser, sonic waves, and even surgery to remove fat can actually destroy other tissue in the process by burning, shattering, or extracting nonfat cells. This requires downtime for your body to heal, totally uncool. Fortunately, CoolSculpting at Blume Skin & Body, doesn't burn, shatter, or extract any cells. Developed by Harvard scientists, the unique, FDA-cleared, patented procedure uses a targeted cooling process that kills the fat cells underneath the skin, literally freezing them to the point of elimination. Only fat cells are frozen. Your healthy skin cells remain, well, healthy. No knives. No suction hoses. No needles. No scars. Once crystalized, the fat cells die and are naturally eliminated from your body. In a few months, boom: say hello to a new you. MINIMAL DOWNTIME AND LASTING RESULTS. Unlike a lot of other procedures, CoolSculpting takes very little time and is pretty simple to fit into your daily life. After your CoolSculpting treatment you can typically get right back to your busy day. Each treatment lasts one hour - the same time you might spend at the gym. So you can easily fit your appointment into a lunch break. After your treatment, you'll typically see a noticeable reduction of fat. It takes a few months to fully realize the total effect, mainly because it takes that long for your body to naturally dispose of the fat cells. And yes, you can lose even more with additional appointments if you and Sandra Caldwell, Medical Aesthetician/CLT, your CoolSculpting advisor deems it necessary. So after a few months, your clothes will fit better and you will look better. What's more, there are no pills or supplements. And as long as you maintain your normal diet and exercise, your long-term results should remain stable. Hello, you again. How cool is that? Please call The Blume Skin Centre, 480.699.7999 to schedule a consultation with Sandra Caldwell, Medical Aethetician/CLT to discuss your body sculpting treatment plan with CoolSculpting.

The only problem is, you end up with cabinets full of half used products and an empty wallet (lame!). The TV commercials, magazine ads, and advertisements at the mall - it all makes me want to buy, buy, and buy! I want to look like Giselle, don't you? Sometimes, this can be disappointing - to not see results and see all the receipts you've spent on products. But, one advice you can always trust, is a [doctor's advice and skin specialists](/about/meet-the-team/) that have worked in the field for years.

Heck, we use this stuff too! Yes, even at our office, there are many different options, but we can give you advice to help you achieve the best looking skin. I remember a year ago (before working here), I could not get rid of my dry flakey skin. I tried everything, from the drug store to (super) high end moisturizers at (extremely) high end department stores. Then, Sandra, introduced me to the [Neoctuis Micro Night Riche](/neocutis/) and it was a complete game changer. Yes, it was more expensive than the drug store, but the quality is superb and I only need a little to go a long way. It took me multiple times to find the right product, but when I did, I REALLY DID! There is no turning back. Every morning, I just stare at myself in the mirror while brushing my teeth noticing how moisturized my skin is, the increased brightness, and how small my pores are!

I need to use "acne" products, but sometimes they hurt and burn. I go through a crazy cycle with my skin care products. I try to use strong acne lines, get frustrated with my sensitive skin, then stop using them and try organic/natural products. The organic/natural products do absolutely nothing for my skin. If anything it makes my skin worst - more acne, darker and duller. One product that I love is [Neocutis Nouvelle + Retinol Correction Cream](/neocutis/). It's like a magic potion! I put it on at night and wake up glowing the next morning. It controls and decreases my acne, makes my pores smaller, and minimizes my dark spots. I'm half Asian so dark spots are a continuous issue I fight. The cream helps brighten, smooth and reverses aging. I'm only in my early thirties, but but this is the time to start thinking and acting on wrinkle prevention. Again, I love this product, but noticed my skin was getting dry and flakey. My face and neck also started to get itchy in the morning after working-out and sweating. With the advice from Blume Skin & Body, I started to decrease the amount and frequency to work my skin up to it. In addition, a staff member recommended the [Epionce Renewal Calming Cream](/epionce/), a new product: Renewal Calming Cream is clinically proven to relieve the symptoms of eczema, including itching, redness and dryness. Formulated with cholesterol and ceramides to help protect the skin barrier, Renewal Calming Cream hydrates and repairs extremely dry, sensitive skin. Optimal for skin that is resistant to sensitizers and preservatives found in standard moisturizers. All I have to say is this was a game changer. I started using the renewal calming cream on top of my [Necotuis Nouvelle](/neocutis/) and the results have been amazing. I use both products every night and I wake up with no sensitivity. The retinol is reversing my aging and preventing acne while the cream is hydrating and repairing my skin. Never give up on your skin care plan. You have to figure out what's right for you.

Cellulite is a condition in which the skin has a dimpled, lumpy ### Content This is one of the most common questions asked during consultation appointments. Cellulite is a condition in which the skin has a dimpled, lumpy appearance. It usually affects the buttocks and thighs, but can also occur in other areas. Cellulite occurs when fat deposits push through the connective tissue beneath the skin. Cellulite can affect both men and women, but it is more common in women, due to the different distributions of fat, muscle, and connective tissue. Around 80 percent of women may experience cellulite at some point in their lives. The exact cause of cellulite is unknown; it may be the result from an interaction between the connective tissue that lies below the surface of the skin, and the layer of fat that is just below it. Genetic factors along with diet and lifestyle can also affect the chance of cellulite developing. Several therapies have been suggested to help in reducing the appearance of cellulite. Blume Skin & Body has the following methods: [Venus Legacy Radio Frequency Skin Tightening](/laser-treatments-overview/) helps to reduce cellulite, shape and lift the buttocks and smooth and tighten thighs for firmer curves.

Then your favorite influencer you follow says to use a [microneedling](/microneedling/) roller at home, and its just as good as getting a professional [microneedling](/microneedling/) treatment. How do you know for sure if you should do [Microneedling](/hydrafacial-dp4-microneedling/) or Laser? While some advice may be a tad helpful, and others may be down right wrong.. *cough cough the microneedling roller*.... there's always the right advice and it can be found right here! You always want to make sure you are getting your facts and information from a licensed medical aesthetician. Not only are they trained accordingly in consulting on these treatments, they PERFORM the treatment on patients every day. The way I have consulted on [microneedling](/microneedling/) vs laser, is sharing their similarities and differences. And also breaking down what each treatment does. [Microneedling](/microneedling/) is skin resurfacing treatment treatment that helps to minimize and even eliminate the appearance of acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, minor skin laxity, uneven texture and minor superficial hyperpigmentation. The process is creating a controlled injury to the skin by making microscopic perpendicular perforations, at various depths into the skin (nothing you can see to the naked eye). Your skin then realizes it is injured. Proactively the skin then starts to create natural growth factors, collagen and strengthens its elasticity in its attempt to heal itself. Resulting in tighter, brighter, more even skin. [Microneelding](/microneedling/) is fantastic for acne scaring (depending on the type of acne scar) because it helps to break down the scar tissue that accumulated over time. There is even different types of microneedling treatments like [Radio Frequency Microneedling](/body-contouring/). [RF Microneedling](/body-contouring/) can help with all of the above conditions mentioned earlier, the radio frequency has an amazing anti-aging aspect to it. The insulated needles sends high energy radio frequency waves throughout the skin, creating a controlled thermal injury that stimulates tightening and collagen. Laser also comes in many different shapes, sizes and wave lengths. At Blume Skin and Body we are blessed to be able to offer both I[PL](/ipl-bbl-laser/) and [BBL](/ipl-bbl-laser/) laser treatments, with a variety of personalizations as well. L[aser skin treatments](/laser-treatments-overview/) help with acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, skin laxity, uneven texture and hyperpigmentation. Very similar to the microneedling! Since laser is a range of light waves and high intensity light, it has the ability to penetrate further down to the deeper levels of the skin typically where hyperpigmentation, deep wrinkles and sever acne scars live.

Then I turned 37 and something bad happened. All of the sudden I had cystic acne clusters all along my lower face and jawline. They were painful and they were ugly. Thankfully, Blume Skin & Body has a solution for hormonal breakouts. The first step is to meet with an Aestetician, I saw Caitlin and she took me under her esthetic wing and gave me a deep [pore cleansing facial](/medical-grade-facials/) and treated me with the [Sciton BBL Forever Clear Acne treatment](/bbl-laser-acne-treatment/). The [Forever Clear BBL](/bbl-laser-acne-treatment/) is a cutting-edge acne treatment that uses the power of light to comfortable and effectively clear acne without creams or medicine. After the first treatment my skin was dramatically different. The swelling and redness went down and several pimples purged and were able to be extracted. I have had a few more [BBL Forever Clear Acne treatments](/bbl-laser-acne-treatment/) to kill the remaining bacteria and address my redness. At the first sign of a breakout, I will have the treatment before the acne gets any worse. Blume Skin & Body has several treatments that deal with the pigmentation left from my breakouts.

However, a BBL is an invasive surgical procedure that comes with ample downtime. If you're looking to achieve a more voluminous booty without surgery, a non-surgical BBL may be the answer! Read on to learn more about this procedure option. ## What is a BBL? A BBL is a specialized fat transfer procedure that augments the shape and size of the buttocks. It involves removing excess fat through liposuction procedures from other body areas and injecting it into your buttocks. The process enhances your buttocks without using implants. It involves excess fat being removed from the thighs, lower back, hips, and abdomen and strategically injected into the buttocks. ## What is a Non-Surgical BBL? A [non-surgical BBL](/non-surgical-butt-lift-with-radiesse/) is an advanced alternative to the traditional butt lift procedure. At our office, this technique involves injecting Radiesse®, which is an FDA-approved collagen-stimulating dermal filler, into the buttocks. It uses calcium hydroxyapatite to stimulate collagen production deeper within the skin, creating immediate and long-term results. The collagen growth firmly lifts the buttocks by adding a structure beneath the skin's surface layers. ## Benefits of a Non-surgical BBL ### Non-surgical and non-invasive Most people dread going under the knife. Therefore, non-surgical BBL is a preferred solution for buttocks enhancement. With non-invasive BBL, you don't have to worry about incisions, stitches, or scars, and there is little risk of complications. ### Boosts self-confidence A non-invasive BBL can make you look younger and help boost your confidence. As you age, your buttock skin tends to sag resulting in insecurities in your body. With a strategically done non-surgical BBL, you gain confidence and can change your wardrobe. ## How Long does a Non-surgical BBL Last? A non-surgical BBL is non-invasive; therefore, it does not need recovery or downtime. However, there is usually minor swelling, bruising, redness, and soreness immediately after the procedure is concluded. It occurs at the injection site and tends to heal quickly. Depending on your preference, you may or may not use a compression garment. You can treat the side effects by gently massaging the area in case discomfort occurs. The non-invasive BBL with Radiesse® can last more than a year, but you may need about six weeks to see dramatic results. ## Schedule a consultation Blume Skin & Body is dedicated to ensuring your needs are a top priority.

If you're one of those women, don't worry – you can ### Content Mommy makeovers are becoming increasingly popular, but many women hesitate to go under the knife. If you're one of those women, don't worry - you can still get the desired results without surgery! Here is more information about mommy makeovers, including how to get one without surgery. ## What Is a Traditional Mommy Makeover? A traditional [mommy makeover](/non-surgical-mommy-makeover/) is a group of surgical procedures performed together to help a woman restore her pre-pregnancy body. The most common procedures in a mommy makeover are a breast lift, breast augmentation, tummy tuck, and liposuction. These procedures are usually performed together because they address the most common areas of concern for mothers who want to improve their post-pregnancy bodies. ## How to Get a Mommy Makeover Without Surgery If you're not ready or willing to undergo surgery, we offer several non-surgical options that can help you achieve the same great results: ### CoolSculpting [Coolsculpting](/coolsculpting/) is a non-surgical alternative to liposuction that can be used to target problem areas like the belly, thighs, and arms. It works by freezing fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated from the body over several weeks. Many moms struggle to lose weight around their waist and stomach after pregnancy and [Coolsculpting](/coolsculpting/) will restore a toned, contoured figure. ### RF Microneedling [Microneedling](/hydrafacial-dp4-microneedling/) uses a handpiece with many tiny needles that puncture the skin and stimulate your body's natural collagen production. The addition of radiofrequency energy (RF) adds a tightening effect to target stretch marks and scars. [RF microneedling](/body-contouring/) is commonly used on the face, but it can also be used to improve the appearance of surgical scars and stretch marks on your stomach after pregnancy. ### Venus Legacy Venus Legacy is a [skin tightening](/ultherapy/) treatment that uses RF energy and magnetic pulses to tighten saggy skin and renew your contours. It can be safely and effectively used on the abdomen, arms, face, and neck. About eight treatments are required for the best results but the effects of this treatment are long-lasting and definitely worth the wait. ## Benefits of Non-Surgical Mommy Makeover There are several benefits to getting a non-surgical mommy makeover, including: ### No Scarring Coolsculpting and [Venus Legacy](/venus-legacy/) are completely non-invasive procedures, meaning no cutting or scarring is involved, and microneedling is minimally invasive. Without scars, no one will be able to tell you had a procedure. ### Minimal Downtime You can usually return to your normal activities briefly after having a [non-surgical mommy makeover](/non-surgical-mommy-makeover/). There may be some soreness and swelling, but it should subside very quickly. ### Natural Results A non-surgical mommy makeover can give you very natural-looking results. Natural collagen production is stimulated by RF energy and results develop over time to give you a natural enhancement. ### Low Risk There is always some risk involved with any surgery, no matter how minor. When you choose a non-surgical mommy makeover, you can avoid those risks altogether. ## Who is a Candidate? The best candidates for a non-surgical mommy makeover are generally healthy mothers who have realistic expectations and are not significantly overweight. It would be best if you also were done having children, as pregnancy can reverse the results of your mommy makeover. ## Schedule a Consultation To get started on your mommy makeover journey, [schedule a consultation](/consultation/) with Blume Skin & Body. We specialize in non-invasive and minimally invasive procedures to help you achieve your cosmetic goals without the need for a long recovery. During your consultation, we will discuss your goals and create a treatment plan tailored for you.

Why do we have them and what can we do about them? Jowls can be the result of many different factors, with age being the primary cause. However, several factors can cause jowls to develop faster, such as genetics, facial expressions, weight loss, sun exposure, smoking, and use of computers or phones. All of the factors listed above have a direct impact on the loss of collagen and elastin, which can contribute to a heavy looking facial shape. **In this post, we will explore why jowls happen and how they can be treated, including with something as simple as a 30-minute **[**toxin**](/injectables-overview/)** appointment. ** With age, we lose collagen and elastin in the cheeks and around the jawline. Why are collagen and elastin important? Collagen is a protein that makes up the connective tissue in the body. Elastin is another type of connective tissue that helps with skin snap back. Think of connective tissue as the glue of the body. Jowls can also be the result of genetics. Genetics can determine a lot of the physical changes we experience as we age, and the jowls are no exception. If either of your parents have jowls, it is likely that you will develop jowls. Sun exposure, which is pretty much unavoidable in Arizona, can also be a contributing factor to jowl likelihood and severity. Sun damage accelerates the break down of collagen and elastin (Picture A). With the premature loss of connective tissue, the skin is more prone to sagging from the lack of facial tissue support. The best defense against the sun is to limit exposure, wear medical grade sunscreen and protective clothing. A: Image of man who was a truck driver for 28 years. Sun damage on driver side of face.

Not only do we lose fat, but the fat pads that we do have slide down and forward, due to the loss of connective tissue (Picture B). With a decrease in facial tissue support, our skin becomes thinner and does not have the snap-back that it once had. B: Depletion of fat pads & connective tissue. Credit: https://www.derm.theclinics.com/article/S0733-8635(03)00021-4/fulltext Now that we know the many contributing factors that cause jowls, what can we do about them? The muscle underneath the jowls is called the platysma. The platysma basically acts as a turtle neck starting at the jowls/jaw line and extends down to the collar bone (Picture C). As we age, the platysma and the muscle under the jowls (depressor anguli oris) stretches the skin down and out. This is sometimes referred to as "turkey neck" and is the result of the platysma contracting, creating bands (Picture D). Accentuated platysmal bands can also be the result of clenching or stress. C: Platysma muscle [](https://influx-site-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/blumeskintreatment.com/blog/platysma-muscle.jpg) D: Before having platysmal bands treated vs. two weeks after. For patients who have mild sagging of the jowls, [toxin](/botox/) can be injected into the jowls and platysmal bands to help relax the muscle, which helps give the jowls a lift. If a patient has a history of clenching, it would be recommended to treat the masseter muscle, which can further help lift the jowls and [enhance the jawline](https://www.yourskn.com/services/jawline-enhancement/). Once the toxin settles in, patients will notice the corners of their smile are slightly turned up, the chin no longer has an orange peel look and the jawline and neck appear sharper. Think of toxin as shapeware for your neck and jowls. If a patient has excess fat in the jowl/neck area, or moderate sagging, [Kybella](/kybella/), [Coolsculpting](/coolsculpting/), or a [skin tightening](/ultherapy/) treatment may be the best place to start.

Why exactly is it so hyped up? ### Content # Why Has Hyaluronic Acid Been Trending? Anyone that has either started a new skincare journey, or is just obsessed with skincare has heard of Hyaluronic Acid. It makes headlines as a key component of a daily skincare routine. If you have been contemplating on whether or not to add HA into your skincare arsenal, here is your sign that it is time! Hyaluronic Acid is a humectant that is a naturally occurring molecule in the human body. Using HA topically helps to increase the skins hydration. HA can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water (depending on the product/ingredients) making it essential for health. When there's hydration in the skin there's health in the skin. Hydrated skin can concur so many things like: Fine lines and wrinkles. Over time our body starts to decrease its production of HA, along with collagen and elastin. Resulting in the loss of volume, hydration and plumpness and acne. While Hyaluronic Acid doesn't play a direct roll in the treatment of acne. It does in fact help to improve the moisture content in the skin when a patient is using acne fighting skincare and/or topical prescriptions. Helping to hydrate and sooth the skin during any acne treatment helps to deeply nourish the skin and help heal its microbiome. Along with helping to reduce redness. Like any product or ingredient, all Hyaluronic Acids are not created equal. The molecule sodium hyaluronate should be one of the first ingredients on the back of the packaging, not down at the bottom of the list. The molecular weight and molecular size of the HA matters as well. You want your Hyaluronic Acid to have a small molecular size so that it has the ability to penetrate into the skin properly to help reduce wrinkle depth. The molecule weight is a catch 22 in a way. A high molecule weight helps to seal in moisture to the skin. A low molecule weight helps to provide hydration and improves elasticity. The perfect product that has them both? [Neocutis Hyalis](/neocutis/) [](/services/) Another great option is the [Skin Medica HA5](/skinmedica-scottsdale/). Being oil free and fragrance free, the technology in this product is very unique. It is a time released serum that contains a proprietary blend of 5 different hyaluronic acid molecules. When 1 stops working the next one kicks in and takes over. So you have a continuous release of hyaluronic acid through out the day/night after it is applied. [](/services/) Our moisturizer option is the [Valmont Regnetic Cream](/valmont/). This contains a Hyaluronic acid precursor which stimulates the production of hyaluronic acid within the skin. It also has biomimetic lipids which helps to restore the barrier function of the skin. This formula also comes in a serum form. The [Valmont Regenetic Serum](/valmont/). This innovative product teaches the skin to rehydrate naturally by limiting the evaporation of water on the skins surface. After doing so, the skin will regain its supple tone. [](/blog/) Hydration is crucial for ALL skin types. It doesn't matter if you're trying to deeply hydrate, trying to plump up toys skin, battle fine lines and wrinkles or sooth and calm down rosacea or acne. Hyaluronic Acid is one of the most popular ingredients in skincare products. Throughout our lives we will experience transepidermol water loss. Because of this, the enzymes that typically help the skin exfoliate naturally cannot function properly. This results in a buildup of skin cells making the skin appear and feel dry to the touch, which will contribute to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Hydration starts from within. Like our bodies, we need to drink water throughout the day in order to stay hydrated. The same applies to our skin. Hyaluronic acid helps to hydrate from within the skin cells, versus the superficial layers. We all want that healthy glow, and a hydrated body and skin is the key.

It's collagen, and it's time to understand why. Starting around the age of 30, we begin to lose collagen at a rate of 1% a year due to natural aging. Certain factors exacerbate the slowdown of our precious protein's production, such as the sun! The harmful UV rays weaken the skin's collagen and elastin, and the skin loses its ability to bounce back from injury. There are ways to rebuild lost collagen and slow down the aging process: - Use sunblock every day - Stop smoking - Drink plenty of water The Blume Skin Centre offers several skin treatments to assist in building back collagen. Our most popular treatment is [**VoluDerm**](/laser-treatments-overview/); a minimally invasive treatment that uses radio frequency to create dermal heating with fine micro-needles to gently resurface the epidermis and thickening of the dermis.

To commemorate, I wanted to share my experience. Read on for tips to managing and living with acne – at the MedSpa and at home! ### Content ## **My Acne Journey** June is Acne Awareness month! So, to commemorate, I wanted to share what I've learned through my journey of having acne as an adult. In the United States, Acne is the most prevalent skin condition. While acne is most common in adolescents, it can also carry on into adulthood for many people. Acne is not only physically painful, but can be emotionally distressing as well. As someone who has dealt with persistent acne for several years in their adulthood, I can attest to how much acne can affect self-esteem. For many people who struggle with acne, we feel ashamed and upset to have breakouts on our skin. It can especially be disheartening when you feel you have tried every trick and remedy you've heard of, and it still won't go away. Read on to find some tips to managing and living with acne - at the [MedSpa](/) and at home! ## **Medical -Grade Treatments for Acne ** At Blume Skin & Body, we have three main treatments to help address all facets of acne. ### **VI Chemical Peel** The[ VI Peel](/chemical-peel/) improves the tone, texture and clarity of the skin. There are 5 different formulations of the [VI Peel](/chemical-peel/) to target different skin concerns. For someone with acne, the VI Peel Purify will help to kill off the bacteria that causes acne and in the next week, blemishes will dry up and flake off completely. The VI Peel Purify includes added Benzoyl Peroxide, Kojic Acid, and Hydrocortisone to target active breakouts in acne-prone skin. The VI Peel Purify with Precision Plus is an added booster to also address acne with hyperpigmentation and scarring. #### VI Peel Process [](https://influx-site-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/blumeskintreatment.com/blog/before-afters-1-1.jpg) ### **Forever Clear BBL** If you're into skincare, you've probably heard of a [Photofacial](/ipl-bbl-laser/) (or IPL/BBL), but you may not have heard of a BBL meant to treat acne. The [Forever Clear BBL](/ipl-bbl-laser/) is unique to other Photofacials, and it uses a three-step process to combat acne. First, skin is treated with a blue light to eliminate acne-causing bacteria down in the pores. Then, the skin is treated with a yellow light to reduce inflammation and redness caused by acne. Lastly, the skin is treated with infra-red light to tighten skin and initiate the skin's healing process. [](https://influx-site-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/blumeskintreatment.com/blog/acne-bbl-before-and-after-left-side.jpg) [](https://influx-site-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/blumeskintreatment.com/blog/acne-bbl-before-and-after-right-side.jpg) ### **Microneedling** Once the acne has been controlled and there are no more active breakouts, they may still be skin issues with tone and texture. Acne can leave behind stubborn scars and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (red marks left after acne is gone). [Microneedling](/microneedling/) is a treatment that creates tiny, controlled micro-wounds in the skin which then triggers the skin's natural healing process to heal over those scars. ## **Reminders for At-Home Care of Acne-Prone Skin** [](https://influx-site-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/blumeskintreatment.com/blog/quick-tips-acne-1.jpg) The most important thing to remember with acne-prone skin is to have patience. Clearing your skin of acne can be a long road with ups and downs. This is because there could be several factors contributing to acne, including stress, hormones, diet, and many more. Addressing acne means addressing it from each angle, which requires a lot of patience! It's important to try and learn what your acne triggers are. Keeping a diary or notes in your phone about when you get breakouts can help you to determine whether your acne may be caused by hormonal changes, stress, environmental factors, or even certain foods. Dairy and sugar can be a trigger for acne in many people, so try cutting back on those to see if it improves the acne. Other small habits that can add up over time would be avoiding touching your face, sleeping with your hair away from your face (if you have long hair), making sure to switch out your face towels and pillow cases frequently, and most importantly, **not picking at your skin!** Finally, make sure to honor your esthetician's work by consistently using the [skincare](/product-overview/) regimen they recommend at home. Keep at it and don't get discouraged! Progress may be slow, but every improvement should be celebrated. Each person's acne and skin is so different, so what may work for one person may not work for you. It will take a bit of trial and error to find the solution to clear skin. At the end of the day, acne is such a common condition and almost everyone has experienced it to some degree. We can love ourselves regardless if we have acne or not, and remember "perfect" skin does not exist - everyone gets blemishes and flaws and we don't need to feel ashamed or embarrassed to talk about it! The [Blume estheticians](/about/meet-the-team/) are here to help you contain and rid your face of blemishes - and they will do all that they can to get you the results you're looking for, free of judgement.

[**Latisse**](/latisse/) is a solution applied daily to the base of the eyelashes. It works by increasing the length of the anagen or "growth" phase of the eyelash hair cycle and simultaneously increases the number of hairs during this growth phase. Patients see a significant improvement in length and thickness in 8 weeks. In 6 weeks, average patients saw a 108% increase in thickness and a 25% increase in length. After the desired growth and thickness is achieved patients may maintain their look by using the product every other day or every third day. We encourage our patients to let us take "before" and "after" photos to help document the significant results. "This is the leading product in eyelash growth and thickness, as well as the only product FDA-approved for this use," says Katie Wilkinson, CME, "Also, one of the nice side effects of the product is that it also darkens the lashes, so it is a great bang-for-your buck for our blonde patients who have to tint their lashes." [**Latisse**](/latisse/) is a prescription treatment used to grow eyelashes, making them longer, thicker and darker. [**Latisse**](/latisse/) is applied nightly to the lash line. Results can vary be seen in 8 weeks, with maximum results at about 16 weeks.

I smile as I read these ### Content I have been reading articles in the cosmetic and plastic surgery journals that teach “new” and miraculous methods of treatment. I smile as I read these because I have been doing this for many years. Whether it is [**Juvéderm**](/dermal-fillers/), [**Restyane**](/botox/), [**Botox**](/botox/), [**Dysport**](/botox/) or other dermal fillers; I have always been conservative and used the “less is more” theory. By treating the exact muscles and skin layers you accomplish more than simply adding more product. For example, treating the wrinkles between your eyes as well as the forehead, you need a little less for both. Too much in either place can deliver the frozen face. Placed properly and appropriately one can use less material and get a natural look. As a bonus, it also can be less costly. You should choose someone for your injections that understands this anatomical relationship and can deliver the desired results with the correct amount of product. Sadly, there are injectors out there who inject the same amount in the same fashion every time, but that does not work for everyone. You can teach anyone to inject [Botox](/botox/), but it takes experience and anatomical knowledge to do it right. Read more about Dr. Martin Blume [**here**](/about/meet-the-team/).

I regularly hear: - "I don't want Scottsdale lips" or - "I don't want Duck Lips" The answer is, you get to decide. As the patient you choose how you want your lips plumped - small, medium, or large. I tend to enhance lips in a way that is not noticeable to others, but when a client desires larger lips it is their choice. Lips can be made beautiful in any size if you go to a good injector. I always use a dermal filler such as a [Juvéderm](/dermal-fillers/) or [Restylane](/injectables-overview/) product. Sometimes [Botox](/botox/) can evert the top lip as well. Please be careful of injectors that may suggest a product other than those listed above. For example, [Radiesse](/radiesse/) is a great dermal filler but does NOT belong in lips. You want a soft product that will last 9 to 15 months. There are multiple tricks to enhancing lips beautifully. Discuss these items with the injector to ensure you have full confidence in getting your desired lip outcomes.

Like me you have probably thought, "I am happy with my lips. I don't think I need lip filler. " WOW! So glad I made the decision to go forward! Not only are my lips fuller but the definition that my lips have now is so natural. Our nurse Julie Mallon, RN explained how [Restylane Refyne](/injectables-overview/) would be a perfect filler for what I wanted for my lips. Julie took her time and assessed my lips. She discussed with me my options whether I would want more fullness in my lips or if I wanted a more of a smooth and natural look. I chose smooth and natural since this was my first lip filler. She first applied topical numbing cream on my lips for approximately 15-20 minutes. She then proceeded to explain where she would be injecting first and so on. I was so comfortable and she talked to me throughout each step of the treatment. As she injected each area of my lips, she also explained that there was lidocaine and [Restylane Refyne](/injectables-overview/) in the syringe which also helped numb my lips while she was injecting. She made me feel so at ease during and after the procedure. To my surprise it was not as painful as what I thought or what I had been told. After Julie was finished injecting my lips, she applied ice and Alastin Skin Nectar. She explained that my lips would be swollen for at least 2 to 5 days and may have some bruising and tenderness in my lips as well. The aftercare was simple. I applied Alastin Skin Nectar every day to not only help with less bruising but also helped support the skin's natural ability to produce new, healthy elastin and collagen. Alastin Skin Nectar is also an antioxidant to calm skin and reduce the appearance of redness. Take a look at Blume Skin and Body's Instagram for before, after and two weeks post pictures and you can see for yourself what a little lip filler can do to enhance what you already have!

However, the benefits aren't exactly permanent-- ### Content [Cosmetic fillers](/injectables-overview/) are extremely effective for enhancing youthfulness without having to go under the knife. However, the benefits aren't exactly permanent- depending on the type of filler and dosage used, results can last between six months to two years. Your personal results will also depend on your body's metabolism, which affects how quickly the filler is metabolized. Obviously, you can't control your metabolism, but it's still possible to prolong the life of your filler. Here are some dos and don'ts for maintaining your filler results. ## Filler Dos ### Commit to a Skin Health Routine Your results will look better and last longer if your skin is at its healthiest. Skin treatments including facials, lasers, and [microneedling](/hydrafacial-dp4-microneedling/) will assist in maintaining healthy skin. Build your skincare routine with a cleanser, serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen while choosing products containing youth-boosting ingredients like peptides, retinol, or vitamin C. For maximum benefit, you should make your skincare routine a daily habit, and utilize medical-grade products. ### Stay Hydrated There are plenty of reasons to drink enough water, but it's especially important for maintaining your filler results. Hyaluronic acid fillers, such as [Juvederm](/dermal-fillers/) or [Belotero](/belotero-balance/) work by drawing moisture to the injected area. Keeping your body hydrated ensures the fillers are performing as intended- as an added bonus, proper hydration also helps your metabolism run efficiently. ### Eat Healthy A colorful diet packed with lean protein, healthy fats, and plenty of fruits and vegetables will provide all the nutrients you need to support skin health. On the other hand, a diet high in processed and sugary foods can trigger an inflammatory response in the body. Subsequently, your skin can appear dull, impacting your filler results. ## Filler Don'ts ### Go Outside Without a Hat or SPF Not only does sun exposure increase signs of aging, but it also degrades filler results. When you step outside, the UV rays in sunlight can penetrate your skin and break down your fillers. To preserve your filler's effects, protect yourself with a broad-spectrum sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat with a wide brim. ### Sleep on Your Side Sleeping on your side can put pressure on one side of your face. Over time, this can break down fillers or cause them to shift, affecting the symmetry of your face. For this reason, you should try to avoid sleeping on your side for at least the first few days after treatment. If you're a habitual side sleeper, make a point of sleeping on your back instead. ### Exercise Vigorously Exercise is important for staying healthy, but don't overdo it if you want to prioritize your filler results. Exercise provides a temporary metabolic boost that causes your body to metabolize the filler at a faster rate. ## The Most Important 'Do' The guidance of a reputable provider is the best way to ensure your filler results last as long as possible. If your aesthetic journey includes dermal fillers, the trained experts at Blume Skin & Body have the knowledge and experience to help you achieve your goals.

Much like their lifestyle, no-fuss wardrobe, simplified workouts, and 3-minute hair styles. But a splash of water in the morning and out the door isn't enough for the everyday guy. Skincare doesn't have to be complicated. But for many it can be confusing. Where to start? Which system is right for me? Woman tend to be more conscientious about their skin. Making sure they are cleansing properly, exfoliating weekly, hydrating, protecting and maintaining. For men, this is a whole other world. Here are a few recommendations for an easy skincare routine for men: Instead of: Splashing with water or using bar soap in the morning or at night[.block][] Replace with: Cleansing with a milky cleanser (dry-combination skin) or a foaming cleanser (oily skin). Cleansing with bar soap or water alone won't thoroughly cleanse away dirt, oil, or daily debris. This will cause unwanted oil build up and bacteria that can cause acne. Instead of; No moisturizer in the morning[.block][] Replace with; Applying a light weight sunscreen. The daily use of sunscreen will not only keep the skin protected during the day, it will hydrate the skin and won't trigger the sebaceous glands to over produce oil. Instead of; Using a wash cloth to scrub the skin[.block][] Replace with; Using an exfoliating cleanser a few times a week Instead of; Using aftershave[.block][] Replace with: Using an antioxidant serum or hyaluronic acid serum after shaving. This will properly replenish the hydration to the skin and help sooth after shaving. Instead of: No moisturizer[.block][] Replace with: Using a light weight moisturizer before bed Instead of: Using over the counter cleansing pads[.block][] Replace with; Use a medicated pre-moistened pad Instead of: Using alcohol or witch hazel on breakouts[.block][] Replace with: Using a medicated treatment gel or retinol One of the most important aspects of a skincare routine (especially men) is the daily use of sunscreen. It always seems to fall to the wayside. "I'll only be outside for a little bit." "I never get sunburn." "I don't like the way sunscreen feels on my skin." This is understandable for both men and woman. Unfortunately, sunscreen typically isn't on a man's radar. The daily use of sunscreen not only helps to fight the early signs of aging, like fine lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. It helps to protect against precancerous and cancerous lesions. Skin health doesn't just stop at skincare products. There are a wide variety of skincare treatments to help maintain the appearance of the skin. Facial treatments and skin rejuvenation aren't just for the ladies! Statistics show that men make up around 49% of the medical spa/skin rejuvenation clientele. Ultherapy- [Ultherapy](/ultherapy/) is the perfect non-surgical option to help restore tightness, improve sagging, and to lift the skin.[.block][] Facials- Facials are a great maintenance treatment to help restore the skins moisture and keep the skin clear from blemishes.[.block][] Injectables ([Botox](/botox/), [Xeomin](/xeomin/) and filler)- Injectables are wonderful to help add volume in areas it is lacking (filler).

These are services that men are flocking towards to help treat and maintain their skincare goals.[.block][] Taking care of your skin has become a standard practice over the years.

At Blume Skin & Body in Scottsdale, ### Content Men's skincare and aesthetic treatments aren't just a trend; they're becoming part of everyday wellness routines. At Blume Skin & Body in Scottsdale, we've seen a noticeable increase in male patients looking for clean, healthy skin, improved confidence, and subtle enhancements that align with their lifestyle. Whether it's for Father's Day, a milestone birthday, or a much-needed personal refresh, men are choosing to invest in self-care, and we're here to help make the process approachable, discreet, and effective. ## Why More Men Are Booking Aesthetic Services It used to be that aesthetic treatments were seen as something only women pursued. That's changing quickly. Today, men of all ages, especially professionals in their 30s, 40s, and 50s, are recognizing the value of preventative care and long-term skin health. Whether it's reducing signs of stress, evening out skin tone, or softening deep lines, these treatments aren't about looking "done." They're about looking like the best version of yourself. At Blume Skin & Body, we prioritize a comfortable and personalized experience. You won't find pressure to book a long list of services. Instead, we focus on what works for you, your goals, and your schedule. ## What Men Are Asking for in 2025 Here are some of the top aesthetic treatments men in Scottsdale are choosing right now: ### 1. Botox® Injections Furrowed brows, forehead lines, and crow's feet can make you look more tired or stressed than you feel. [Botox](/botox/) softens these expression lines for a smoother, more refreshed appearance-without changing the way you move your face. Treatments take just 15-20 minutes, and results typically last 3-4 months. **Good to know:** Botox is subtle when done right, and our team focuses on preserving a natural, masculine look. ### 2. Laser Hair Removal From chest and back to beard sculpting and necklines, [laser hair removal](/laser-hair-removal/) offers long-term hair reduction with less irritation than shaving. It's one of the most practical services men opt for, especially in Scottsdale's hot summer months. **Ideal for:** Men who deal with ingrown hairs, razor burn, or just want a cleaner, low-maintenance routine. ### 3. Hydrafacial® and Skin Rejuvenation A buildup of oil, sweat, and debris (especially with frequent outdoor activity or workouts) can lead to clogged pores, dull skin, and breakouts. The [Hydrafacial](/hydrafacial-dp4-microneedling/) deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates; all in one relaxing treatment. We also offer advanced options like [microneedling with radiofrequency](/rf-microneedling-skin-tightening/), which stimulates collagen to improve skin tone, texture, and firmness. **Common concerns these help with:** Uneven skin tone, fine lines, sun damage, and acne scars. ### 4.

Submental fullness, or Double Chin, is generally resistant to exercise, which is why I ### Content Let's be honest, this look is only cute when you are a baby. Submental fullness, or Double Chin, is generally resistant to exercise, which is why I decided to get [CoolSculpting](/coolsculpting/). This non-invasive treatment will reduce the fullness and fat under my chin and give me a more contoured jaw. The first time I had my [CoolSculpting](/coolsculpting/) treatment I had two treatments with an overlap under my chin in the area with the most fat. During treatment, a gel pad and applicator was applied to my targeted area. The CoolSculpting applicator delivers controlled cooling (freezes fat) to the targeted fat. During my procedure, I watched "Hope Floats", but you could read, check email, or even take a nap. The entire process was quick, easy and painless. For my second treatment, Sandra, Blume Skin & Body's Master CoolSculpter, decided to be a little more aggressive and do three treatments. I received one treatment on each side of my jawline and jowls plus one under my chin. Again, I watched a movie and before I knew it, I was done! The best part of the CoolSculpting process is that I am losing fat cells! After dieting and weight loss, fat cells get smaller but the number of fat cells stay the same. When you gain weight then the fat cells get bigger. This procedure reduces the number of fat cells in the treated areas, which are naturally processed and eliminated so they never return and they won't migrate to another area of your body. I am excited to see the results from my second treatment in the next few months. I know I may not weigh less, but I will look thinner. I am excited to put my best face forward!

See, I am very pale with incredibly thick, dark hair. This is fine for the top of my head, but rather unfortunate everywhere else. I was crushed by this comment. In response, my mother had my big brother come visit me at school and give the angry eye to that boy and his lackeys. It helped, with my brother's natural resting alpha face. Even if the comments weren't repeated, I was self-conscious and refused to wear short sleeved shirts. I wanted to shave my arms. Thankfully my mother knew that was an awful idea. Not only was I already bad at shaving legs and would only have nicks all over my elbows, but she knew I could have itchy ingrown hairs and be stuck in the infinite loop of daily shaving if they were at all visible. So, the natural next step was to go see a very nice Greek woman at a salon for some waxing. She promised that the hair would be thinner and lighter after a few treatments. I don't remember how many times we had my arms waxed, but after at least three treatments, things weren't looking any better. My grandmother suggested electrolysis, but my mother settled on [laser hair removal](/laser-hair-removal/) instead. This was late 2001, the very beginning of laser technology. Looking back at the laser technology it was very clunky and brutal. The laser was held far from the skin, treated in large squares while the laser searched for follicles. My unfortunate coloring turned out to be a boon since dark hair on pale skin is ideal, but the old lasers HURT. Even with a thick layer of ultrasound gel, the burning was agonizing and the snap on the hair felt more like a needle gun rather than the rubber band snap it is today. Regardless, little 11/12-year-old me sat through 12 treatments on my lower arms and underarms. My arms are still practically hair-free to this day. The pain was worthwhile. I was able to wear short sleeve shirts in Arizona without feeling insecure. I had thought my experience with laser hair removal was over after that, but about eight years later, in a strange twist of fate, my own mother became an aesthetician with laser certifications. When she first started with Dr. Blume at the fledgling Blume Skin & Body, I was brought in to be the guinea pig for the sales rep of the new laser. The new laser Sciton Joule [BBL](/ipl-bbl-laser/) was held directly on the skin with some ultrasound gel and felt like a snap rather than a stab, and the heat was noticeably improved. My mother decided to take on the project of de-hair-ing my legs. I was about to join the Air Force and she figured it would be great to not have to worry about leg hair. I resisted at first since my arms had been so time-consuming and painful, but relented after much convincing. And she was so right. At boot camp, 60 girls have a combined 10 minutes to shower in a room with about 10 shower heads. Shaving anything was out of the question. The one time we did get to shave was before we had our professional military portraits taken. My drill sergeant ironically said "I don't want my flight of girls looking like gorillas" and gave us an entire afternoon to groom ourselves. The shower room looked like a Pomeranian had exploded. And there I was with no hair on my legs, able to take my precious shower time to actually properly wash my hair while the rest of the girls spent it awkwardly trying to shave everything they could in the space and time they had. A few years later, I began to notice I was growing some unusual facial hair on my lower face and neck. Turns out I developed Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, and once again my arch-nemesis of body hair was back to haunt me. I was on the other side of the country, so I couldn't come crawling back to the Blume Skin & Body, so I settled for shaving. My mother, the now laser expert, was not having it. She found a place near me that used the same laser she knew and made me an appointment. Six treatments later and it was better, but not gone. Every time I visited home, it would include a clandestine afternoon on a Sunday at the Blume Skin Body with my perfectionist mother zapping every follicle she could find. But then they got a new laser [Lumenis Light Sheer](/services/) that was incredibly quick and the pain was very minimal. Just my luck that laser hair removal would become so sophisticated just as I start to finally not need it anymore. Though, with my history, I suppose I should say I don't need it anymore... for now. Who knows what else my body will throw at me next, but it's a relief to know that there is a mostly permanent and low-maintenance option. Laser hair removal is often seen as a superfluous, vain treatment. However, as my scenarios have shown, it can be the best solution to what can be a long-term problem. My arm hair was affecting me emotionally with bullying. We could have continued to wax, but my skin is sensitive and reacts negatively, and waxing every six weeks or so for my entire adult life would have been less cost-effective than the higher up-front cost of the laser hair. With how much the technology has improved as well, I would never hesitate to recommend hair removal to someone looking for an alternate solution to daily shaving or monthly waxing. Six or twelve treatments now are nothing when you get to enjoy the benefits for a lifetime.

The thought of combing through thousands of products and procedures in search of the holy grail is overwhelming. Each year hundreds of new product lines enter the skin care and treatment market. I applaud these editors for all the time and effort that testing all the products and procedures take. Instagram & Facebook bombard us with new advertising for products that are brand new and untested. If you click on the advertisement, you will see the product show up in your news feed for weeks. I thought it would be helpful to highlight several New Beauty Awards with the products and procedures that Blume Skin & Body offers. **Procedures & Services** **The Best Neurotoxin - [Botox](/botox/) Cosmetic** For the past 18 years, Botox has been reducing frown lines, crows' feet and smoothing foreheads everywhere. Botox is the most requested Neurotoxin, I believe due to its consistency. I personally can attest to Botox taking effect in 5 days and lasting up to 14 weeks for my treatment protocol. [Dysport](/dysport/) and [Xeomin](/xeomin/) are also quality neurotoxins and Blume Skin & Body offers these products for our patients that prefer them. **The Best Nonsurgical Skin Tightener - [Ultherapy](/ultherapy/)** Ultherapy is a Cult Classic it has been an award winner for 6 years in a row.

Using magnetic muscle stimulation to tone the abdomen, buttocks and thighs with great results and no downtime.

Restylane ReFyne can soften them without altering your natural facial expressions. With this soft flexible filler, you will continue to look like yourself. Restylane DeFyne is also a great filler for the lines at the corners of the mouth and chin. These two products work well together to keep your expression natural. **The Best Filler for Plumper Lips - [Juvederm](/dermal-fillers/) Vollbella** Are you wishing for fuller lips without looking like a duck? Juvederm Vollbella is a great choice for natural looking smooth lips. Juvederm Vollbella is a hyaluronic acid filler that subtly plumps and smooths out the lines where your lipstick tends to bleed.

It is called [Kybella](/kybella/) and used to minimize fat in the neck. It works by destroying the cell wall of the fat cells and emptying the contents thereby eliminating the cell, not just reducing the size. This is the most important part because if you simply reduce the size of the fat cell, it can grow large again. This is like a non-surgical liposuction of the neck, the difference being less complications, no anesthesia, and similar outcomes. This is a 15-20 minute treatment in office and relatively painless. Two to four treatment sessions are required. Call us now for a consult as we have limited times available early in the process. If you simply want to reduce the muscular bands and loose skin, there are radio frequency treatments and Ulthera (ultrasound) as well as [Botox](/botox/)!

You’re in good company. At Blume Skin & Body, we work with people at every stage of their ### Content Are you curious about injectables but unsure where to start? You’re in good company. At Blume Skin & Body, we work with people at every stage of their aesthetic journey, including first-timers who want subtle, natural-looking results without going overboard. Whether you’re hoping to restore volume, smooth lines, or enhance a specific feature, there’s a filler that can help. ## What Are Fillers and What Can They Do? Fillers are injectable treatments used to add volume, contour facial features, and soften wrinkles caused by aging or volume loss. Many are made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps keep skin plump and hydrated. Others stimulate collagen over time to gradually improve firmness and structure. At [Blume Skin & Body](/), we offer a wide range of filler options, including [Juvéderm® Fillers](/dermal-fillers/), [Radiesse®](/radiesse/), [SkinVive®](/skinvive/), [Voluma®](/dermal-fillers/), and [Volux®](/dermal-fillers/), among others, each designed to address specific concerns and deliver different types of results. ## Botox vs. Fillers: What’s the Difference? We often hear this question. Simply put, [Botox® Injections](/botox/), [Daxxify™](/daxxify/), [Dysport®](/dysport/), and [Xeomin®](/xeomin/) are neuromodulators that relax muscles to smooth out expression lines like crow’s feet and frown lines. Fillers, on the other hand, are used to restore volume, contour features, and enhance the skin’s structure. Many patients use both together for a full-face refresh, but if volume or shape is your main concern, a filler is likely your starting point. ## Best Starting Points Based on Your Concern Areas ### Starting with Smile Lines or Cheeks? Try Juvéderm® or Voluma® If you’re seeing deeper smile lines or noticing your cheeks look flatter than they used to, [Juvéderm® Fillers](/dermal-fillers/) or [Voluma®](/dermal-fillers/) can help. These products are designed to restore lift and structure to the midface, softening nasolabial folds and creating a more youthful contour without looking puffy or overfilled. ### Tired Eyes? Undereye Filler Could Be Your First Step The undereye area is one of the first places many people see signs of fatigue, whether it’s dark hollows, shadows, or volume loss. [Volbella® Undereye Filler](/volbella-undereye-filler/) is a delicate, lightweight option that helps refresh this area without creating puffiness or noticeable swelling. It’s a subtle change that can make a big difference. ### Ready for a Subtle Glow? SkinVive® or Hyperdilute Radiesse May be Ideal You don’t need to wait for deep wrinkles to start using injectables. Treatments like [SkinVive®](/skinvive/) hydrate the skin from within for a lasting glow, while [Collagen Stimulating Radiesse at Blume Skin & Body](/radiesse/) can encourage natural collagen production over time. These are great entry points if you want to maintain your skin’s health and firmness proactively. ### Chin or Jawline Definition? Consider Volux® or Radiesse® For patients interested in refining their profile or boosting chin projection, [Volux®](/dermal-fillers/) and [Radiesse®](/radiesse/) offer non-surgical solutions to define the lower face. These treatments help contour the jawline and improve balance, making them a favorite for both men and women seeking subtle structure. ## Complementary Treatments That Pair Well with Fillers While fillers do a lot on their own, combining them with other treatments can take your results even further. These options help enhance skin tone, texture, and overall glow for a more complete, refreshed look. ### Anti-Aging Lasers Many patients enhance their filler results with skin-tightening or resurfacing lasers. Options like [Sciton MOXI®,](/sciton-moxi/) [Lumenis® SmoothGlo™](/lumenis-smoothglo/), and [Ultherapy PRIME®](/ultherapy/) can improve skin texture, stimulate collagen, and address pigmentation issues to create an even more radiant result. ### Facials and Skin Prep Proper skin care can enhance your filler results and help them last longer. Treatments such as [Hydrafacial®](/hydrafacial/), [DiamondGlow](/diamondglow/), and [Chemical Peel Treatments](/chemical-peel/) are ideal both before and after injectables to prep the skin and promote long-term skin health. ### Men’s Services Men are increasingly seeking out injectables, often with a focus on jawline enhancement, under-eye improvement, or subtle wrinkle reduction. At Blume Skin & Body, our [Men’s Services](/mens-services/) are tailored to masculine features and goals, making filler a popular first step for guys looking to refresh without downtime. ## Real Results, Real People One of the best ways to understand what fillers can do is by seeing the results for yourself. Our gallery features real patients who started their journey at [Blume Skin & Body](/) and found the confidence boost they were looking for. Whether you’re hoping for a refreshed glow or more defined features, there’s a place to start and our team can help guide you there! ## Still Not Sure? Let’s Talk About It Injectables aren’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why we [start with a conversation](/consultation/). During your consultation, our experienced team will listen to your concerns, answer your questions, and help you create a plan that aligns with your goals and comfort level. Whether you’re filler-curious or ready to take the next step, we’re here to support you every step of the way.

Chin and Jawline Contouring is newest area that the FDA has cleared for [Juvederm](/dermal-fillers/) Voluma. In the past, lips and cheeks got all of the love but 2020 is all about creating natural, balanced proportions, and chiseled jawlines. As we age the fat pads throughout the face start to dissipate and separate. This results in heaviness to the lower face and jawline. This pre-jowl sulcus or that sagging pooch along the jawline is an unwelcomed indicator of age. Whether genetics blessed you with a weak chin or the natural aging process has started to rob you of a once chiseled jawline, the Nurse Injectors at Blume Skin & Body can help you achieve the profile you desire. Changes to important structures in our face can begin as early as 35 (sometimes even younger if you are very athletic or have excessive sun damage.) Studies have shown that by the age of 35 we have already lost about 10% of the fat in our faces and we will continue to lose about 5-10% of our facial volume every 5-10 years. In addition to fat reduction and redistribution, we also lose collagen and elasticity which can result in thinner, looser skin. Bone resorption can also be an unpleasant side effect of aging, particularly in the jaw and chin. The end result being a tired, haggard looking upper face and sagging pre-jowls in the lower face. By re-volumizing these important facial structures with dermal fillers we can effectively create a liquid face lift, with a more balanced, and desirable face shape, for men this could mean a more masculine and defined jawline and for women a heart shaped face which minimizes the nose and accentuates the eyes. A well-proportioned chin can reduce the appearance of an overpowering nose, create definition between the face and neck, bring the focus away from jowls or a down turned mouth while redirecting the focus back up to the eyes. When choosing your Aesthetic Injector, please take into consideration that these treatments are not completely without risk, so make sure to choose someone who is licensed and has received advanced training. In addition to this, your injector needs to have an artistic eye, an understanding of balance and proportions, and excellent communication skills in order to assess your unique needs and ensure that your goals are being met and your expectations are realistic. Our Nurse Injectors at Blume Skin and Body are continuously studying and staying up on the latest techniques to ensure your safety and create the most beautiful, natural outcomes possible.

His injection techniques are flawless...and yesterday was my turn. One of the "benefits" of being my age are those tiny lines around the mouth. Not too deep but enough to bother me. After applying a topical to numb this area, Dr Blume used [Juvederm](/dermal-fillers/) Ultra XC to smooth out these tiny lines. Juvederm Ultra XC gel is a colorless hyaluronic acid gel that contains lidocaine, a local anesthetic, that is injected into facial tissue to smooth wrinkles, especially around the mouth. I felt little discomfort due to the combination of the topical and the lidocaine. The entire procedure took less than an hour. The results were immediate and I experienced absolutely no "down time". No bruising, no swelling and the lines were gone.[.block][] This morning, my lips look like I turned back the clock 10 years. No more aging smile lines, just fuller, younger lips. Thank you, Dr Blume.

It can also help with Ocular Rosacea & Dry Eye. Depending on the technology that is used, the term [IPL](/ipl-bbl-laser/) - [Intense Pulsed Light](/ipl-bbl-laser/) or BBL - Broad Band Light are also common terms to describe a [PhotoFacial](/ipl-bbl-laser/). Blume Skin & Body has two forms of technology to treat our patients. [IPL Photo rejuvenation technology](/ipl-bbl-laser/) The [IPL](/ipl-bbl-laser/) (Intense Pulsed Light) technology allows treatment of pigmentation and vascular imperfections, while improving overall skin appearance. Lumenis®IPL with Optimal Pulse Technology enables your clinician to customize the treatment according to your skin type and desired results, with maximum safety. Light pulses penetrate the tissue and create heat, targeting the skin imperfection in a controlled manner. The body's natural process then removes the treated tissue while collagen and elastic fiber stimulation occurs, visible improvement in skin tone and overall appearance. Broad Band Light rejuvenation technology The Broad Band Light ([BBL](/ipl-bbl-laser/)™) by Sciton® is a powerful[ IPL](/ipl-bbl-laser/) (Intense Pulsed Light) device. The light energy delivered by [BBL](/ipl-bbl-laser/) will gently heat the upper layers of your skin. The heat absorbed by the targeted areas will stimulate your skin cells to regenerate. The corrective process will restore your skin to its natural beauty making it clearer, smoother, vibrant and younger looking. [BBL](/ipl-bbl-laser/) allows your clinician to treat age spots, small facial veins, rosacea and many other skin conditions. [BBL](/ipl-bbl-laser/) stimulates cells to regenerate, and typically with the first treatment you will start to see smoother, more even and vibrant skin. The photothermal energy will eliminate fine vessels that cause redness and reduce unwanted melanin that produces age and sun spots. Your skin will feel smoother, pores will be less noticeable and uneven pigmentation will fade. How many treatments will I need? The number of treatments needed will vary from patient to patient. You and your certified laser technician will personalize a treatment plan based on your needs and desired outcomes. Blume Skin & Body offer savings packages when purchased in a series of three treatments. What will happen during the procedure? The procedure is typically gentle and safe. Blume Skin & Body uses a topical anesthetic for your comfort. Your eyes will be protected with safety shields and a cool ultrasound (coupling) gel will be applied to the treatment area. Depending on your specific concern, you can expect the session to last 15-30 minutes. You may briefly feel a warm "rubber band snap" sensation as the light is absorbed by the targeted areas. What should I expect after the treatment? You may experience some redness that should resolve within a few hours. For sun spots, you will see a darkening of the treated areas followed by fading and flaking off at a later stage. In most cases, makeup may be immediately applied, and daily activities can be resumed the very same day. You are advised to stay out of direct sun for a few days following the treatment and to apply sunscreen daily. This is a non-invasive and typically gentle procedure with virtually no downtime.[.block][] Blume Skin & Body offers both [BBL](/ipl-bbl-laser/) and [IPL](/ipl-bbl-laser/), you and your certified laser technician can decide which technology is best for you. Prior to the treatment, it is best to be without a tan or self-tanner and have stopped the use of Retinols/Retin A for 5 days. The most popular treatment areas are: face, neck, chest and hands. Many patients have treated: legs, arms, shoulders and backs.[.block][] Please schedule a consultation to discuss any individual questions or concerns.[.block][] Blume Skin & Body (480) 699-7999 [Back To Overview](/blog/) [Previous Post](/blog/photofractional-the-3-in-1-treatment/) --- ## Photofractional – The 3 in 1 treatment! **Link:** [Photofractional – The 3 in 1 treatment!](https://blumeskintreatment.com/blog/photofractional-the-3-in-1-treatment/) ([md](https://blumeskintreatment.com/blog/photofractional-the-3-in-1-treatment/index.html.md)) **Description:** Photofractional is a perfect treatment for someone looking to treat a wide range of skin concerns.

The [Lumenis M-22](/lumenis-m-22-resurfx-photofractional/) is a treatment we do at Blume Skin & Body that will target three signs of aging plus build collagen in just one appointment! Its main focus is treating pigmentation, sun damage, Rosacea, and [skin tightening](/ultherapy/) with the overall improvement in texture. It is a combination of [IPL](/ipl-bbl-laser/) with a Resurfx treatment that is the first true fractional non ablative technology that gives you an effective result with just one pass.

With the use of topical numbing, the [Photofractiona](/lumenis-m-22-resurfx-photofractional/)l treatment has very minimal discomfort. Most of our patients do a series of 3 treatments scheduled 4-6 weeks apart. Another reason our patient's love this treatment is that it has very minimal downtime with only a few days of being light pink. With everyone's busy schedules we want to be able to provide the best results with the least amount of downtime and discomfort. We highly recommend adding the Valmont Collagen Mask at the end of this treatment to speed up your healing time. This rejuvenating mask is 100% pure medical grade collagen which has extreme healing properties as well as firming ingredients to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles immediately post treatment.

As temperatures rise, common ### Content Scottsdale's intense sun and dry heat can be tough on your skin, making a proactive approach to summer skin care essential. As temperatures rise, common concerns like dryness, acne, pigmentation, and sunburn become more prominent. Preparing your skin for summer not only helps maintain a healthy, youthful glow but also protects against long-term sun damage. Professional treatments at Blume Skin & Body can enhance your routine, offering advanced solutions tailored for Scottsdale's climate-so you can enjoy the season with confidence and radiant skin. ## Hydration is Key Arizona's low humidity can quickly dehydrate your skin, leading to dullness and irritation. Hydration treatments are crucial for maintaining a supple, healthy complexion. At Blume Skin & Body, the Hydrafacial® deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and infuses the skin with nourishing serums, leaving it visibly smoother and more hydrated in just one session. The Geneo Facial is another advanced option for boosting moisture retention, helping your skin stay resilient against the dry Scottsdale air. For optimal results, pair these in-office treatments with daily use of a quality moisturizer and increased water intake. ## Sun Protection: Your Best Defense With Scottsdale's high UV index, sun protection is a year-round priority. Broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 is a must-zinc or titanium-based formulas offer safe, effective coverage. Reapply every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating, and don't forget often-missed areas like lips and ears. After professional treatments such as laser therapies or facial peels, diligent sun protection is even more critical to prevent pigmentation and ensure optimal healing. ## Exfoliation for a Glowing Complexion Regular exfoliation removes dead skin cells, revealing a brighter, smoother complexion. Professional exfoliation treatments at Blume, such as Dermaplaning and DiamondGlow, can enhance skin texture and tone while minimizing the risk of irritation commonly caused by at-home scrubs. These services are ideal for preparing your skin to better absorb hydrating and protective products, giving you that summer-ready glow. ## Addressing Common Summer Skin Concerns Summer can worsen issues like pigmentation, sunspots, acne, and melasma. Advanced treatments at Blume, including Lumenis M-22 ResurFX™, MOXI, [RF Microneedling](/non-surgical-mommy-makeover/), Micropen and Photofractional therapies, target pigmentation and acne scars for clearer, more even skin. These non-invasive options are tailored to address the unique challenges of Scottsdale's climate, helping you maintain a flawless complexion. ## Body Contouring Options for Summer As pool season approaches, many look for effective ways to contour their bodies without surgery. Blume offers non-invasive solutions like CoolSculpting® ELITE, CoolTone®, and BlumeSculpt Neo to reduce stubborn fat and sculpt your physique. These treatments require no downtime, making them ideal for busy Scottsdale residents preparing for summer vacations or events. ## Recommended Sun Protection Products Daily sun protection is a cornerstone of healthy skin, especially in sunny climates like Scottsdale, AZ. The best sunscreen is one you'll use consistently-ideally a broad-spectrum product with at least SPF 30, suited to your skin type and preferences. Here are several dermatologist-recommended options for daily use, each offering unique benefits for various needs. EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 This lightweight moisturizer combines hydration with broad-spectrum SPF 30 protection, making it ideal for daily use. It's formulated with ceramides and niacinamide to support the skin barrier, and is non-comedogenic, so it won't clog pores. Suitable for most skin types, it streamlines your morning routine by offering both moisture and sun protection in one step. ### [Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Sheer Matte Sunscreen SPF 30](/colorescience/) This mineral sunscreen offers a sheer, matte finish, making it a great choice for those with oily or combination skin. The brush-on powder format is convenient for touch-ups throughout the day and won't disrupt makeup, which encourages consistent reapplication-a key to effective sun protection. ### [Skinbetter Science® Broad Spectrum SPF 56 Sunscreen Compact](/skinbetter-science/) 100% mineral-active sun protection in a tone-adapting compact. High sun protection in a weightless, transparent, silky smooth compact.** **Provides priming benefits with no tint. ### ISDIN Eryfotona Ageless 3.4 FL OZ Ultralight tinted mineral sunscreen SPF 50 Eryfotona Ageless is an ultralight tinted, fast-absorbing emulsion which helps fight the signs of photoaging. Its innovative formula protects, helps repair and corrects. It combines 100% mineral SPF 50 sunscreen with an innovative blend of peptides, antioxidants, and DNA Repairsomes®, helping repair existing sun damage and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

For example, one of our most ### Content Body contouring is one of the most popular procedures for people who want to make improvements in their overall appearance. For example, one of our most popular options, [CoolSculpting](/coolsculpting/), can remove nearly 25% of your body fat in each treated area! Since body contouring procedures alter the physical structure of your body, the results can also be permanent when you are careful to follow a healthy diet and exercise plan. Making sure that your body transformation lasts is as simple as knowing what to do in the days and weeks following your procedure. ## Understand the Initial Recovery Phase After your body contouring treatment, you can begin preserving the results immediately. With our non-surgical body contouring options, you can enjoy little to no downtime. While you'll be able to return to your normal activities once you go home, you will want to follow your med spa provider's aftercare instructions that are designed for the specific body contouring treatment you enjoyed. ## Make Lifestyle Adjustments for Long-Term Success [Body contouring](/body-contouring/) serves as a jumpstart for achieving more self-confidence and happiness with your physique. Once your body's contour fits your preferences, you'll be ready to commit to living a healthier lifestyle that preserves the results. You can start by planning a healthy diet that includes eating more fresh fruits and vegetables. You'll also want to consult with your care provider to create an exercise plan that fits your needs. Even taking a daily walk can help to burn calories and maintain your contoured body shape. While eating right and exercising is important, you'll also want to know that protecting your skin from the sun's UV rays can also help to retain the tautness that contouring creates. UV rays can wreak havoc on your skin's elasticity, but this is easily preventable by wearing sunscreen and avoiding spending too much time in direct sunlight. ## Attend Follow-Up Appointments and Seek Expert Guidance Depending upon the type of body contouring treatment you plan, you may need follow-up appointments to check on your healing. With non-surgical forms of contouring, you may not need to check on incision or drainage sites, which speeds up your healing. But, you might still want to talk to your med spa team to find out if you need additional treatments to achieve the body of your dreams. If you have a question at any point during your contouring journey, then you'll also want to reach out for help. Talking to an expert in body contouring procedures ensures that you enjoy a healthy recovery. ## Start Planning Your Body Makeover Today Everyone deserves to love their body, and body contouring can help to eliminate those trouble areas that develop over time. Whether you're concerned about excess fat deposits or sagging skin due to aging, pregnancy, or basic genetics, [schedule a consultation](/consultation/) with Blume Skin & Body today to begin your body transformation.

We have many different products and approaches to help you achieve your optimal result. At Blume Skin and Body our goal is always to listen to your concerns, present you with all of your options, give you recommendations and realistic expectations, and create the results you desire. Depending on your age, lifestyle, and experience with injectables, we will create a treatment plan customized just for you! For my younger clients I love preventative treatments. The best wrinkle relaxer for frown lines, crows' feet and forehead lines is a neurotoxin that relaxes the muscles for a youthful look. Blume Skin & Body offers three choices depending on the patient's preference, [Botox](/botox/), [Dysport](/dysport/) or [Xeomin](/xeomin/). For subtle enhancements we offer several treatments, a natural lip plump with a soft filler like Volbella or Restylane Refyne, combined with collagen stimulating treatments like [Ultherapy](/ultherapy/) or [Microneedling](/hydrafacial-dp4-microneedling/) and excellent Medical Grade Skin Care. By maintaining your skin quality with a healthy diet, sun avoidance, medical grade skin care routine and collagen boosting treatments, and just a "sprinkling" of injectables, you will be sure to keep a youthful, natural glow if that is what you are after. That being said, there is always room for true augmentation if facial balancing or highlighting specific features is desired as well! We can create a more chiseled jawline, higher cheekbones, fuller lips, even balancing the profile with chin filler, you name it! We keep up with the latest aesthetic trends through constant training and continuing education so that we can offer the most up to date treatments out there. For my more mature patients my favorite approach is to replace volume loss from bone resorption, fat pad loss, and skin laxity due to sun damage and the natural aging process. I like to work from the top down to ensure proper ligament support and create a natural, not overfilled result. As our face ages, everything seems to converge around the mouth resulting in jowling and frown lines around the mouth. None of us want to look "done," we just want to look like a refreshed version of ourselves, Right? To achieve this, we must use a combination of approaches to replace volume loss and improve our skin elasticity and quality. One of the most significant, yet often overlooked signs of aging is temple hollowing. Volume loss at the temple can play a role in eyes that look tired or sad, cheek sagging and even folds around the mouth. By re-volumizing the temples we can perk the eyes back up and provide necessary support to the lower face. Next I like to address any volume loss to the cheek and under eye, and work my way down to the jawline and chin and lips. Finally, we can use soft fillers, wrinkle relaxers, and customizable laser and skin care treatments to address fine lines and wrinkles. Whether you are looking for prevention, maintenance, or augmentation, the first step is to come in for a consultation! Consultations are free and we can discuss areas of concern, make recommendations, and come up with a treatment plan for the year that is completely tailored to your timeline, goals, and budget.

Do you ever look at your hands and think, "My hand looks frail, boney and old..." There are a few areas of the body that give away our age; face, neck and HANDS. When it comes to aging, our hands are often overlooked. While we have [Photofacials](/ipl-bbl-laser/), [peels](/chemical-peel/) and [needling](/laser-treatments-overview/) devices to help with the texture and tone, how do we fix the volume loss? One word: [Radiesse](/radiesse/)! There are multiple fillers that are used in the face such as: [Juvederm](/dermal-fillers/), [Sculptra](/dermal-fillers/), [Restylane](/injectables-overview/) and [Voluma](/dermal-fillers/). [Radiesse](/radiesse/) is one of the ONLY fillers that is FDA approved for the face AND hands. [Radiesse](/radiesse/) is a calcium based filler combined with a gel carrier that gives you immediate results. As the gel carrier in the filler is absorbed the calcium spheres stimulate your body's own collagen production, thus resulting in additional volume within a couple months. The treatment takes about 15-30 mins, is virtually painless and there is minimal after care. You may experience some bruising, redness and /or swelling that may last for a couple days. It is recommended to avoid vigorous use of the hands for the first 24 hours. Ice is also helpful to reduce swelling and bruising for the first couple days. We recommend starting with 1 syringe of [Radiesse](/radiesse/) per hand and adding more if necessary. Most patients will need 2-4 syringes depending on the volume desired. Let us help give you the youthful hands you need to match your beautiful young face.

Many different variables can cause your booty to have dimpling or sagging such as gravity, aging, and weight changes. Have you noticed your booty looking less round or having more dimples than you want? Are you working out but still not reaching your booty goals? Are you looking for a way to fix this but want to avoid surgery? Surgery can be scary, and due to health reasons, it isn't an option for everyone. So why not a non-invasive [BBL](/ipl-bbl-laser/)? Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) has been a trend for a while now. When we think Brazilian Butt Lift, we think surgery to get a larger, rounder bottom, however, there are other solutions. At [Blume Skin & Body](/), we have just introduced our [Non-Invasive Brazilian Butt Lift](/non-surgical-butt-lift-with-radiesse/) with [Radiesse](/radiesse/) to help tighten, lift, sculpt and perfect your booty! ### **What is a Non-Invasive Butt Lift?** A non-invasive BBL can address your concerns - whether they are hip dips, cellulite dimples, lifting, or shaping your behind. Non-invasive BBL's are done with a filler called Radiesse. Radiesse is injected directly into the areas of concern, which makes it more accurate and more subtle than a surgical Brazilian Butt Lift. After the procedure you may experience some swelling, bruising, and tenderness, however, this procedure is quick enough to do on your lunch break and return to work without any complications or down time! ### **What is Radiesse?** The purpose of Radiesse is to improve skin texture, shape, lift, and contour. This filler works to stimulate collagen and elastin production deep within the skin layers. Radiesse is a biostimulator, which means that it helps your body produce more collagen overtime. This is beneficial because once the filler is eliminated from the body, the results will stick around. Depending on your metabolism, a Radiesse booty lift can last up to 2 years. Collagen is the protein that gives the skin its structure and shape. Unlike hyaluronic acid-based fillers, Radiesse works to replace collagen and create a strong network of support with these fibers. Radiesse is made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a water-based gel. Over time, collagen fibers will begin to replace the microspheres as they are metabolized. This leaves behind a network of newly grown collagen fibers. If you have already had a surgical Brazilian Butt Lift procedure and still have some dimples or unevenness, Radiesse can help with that, too. #### Before and After Photos of Hip Dip Correction [](https://influx-site-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/blumeskintreatment.com/blog/bbl-injection-for-hip-dips-front-angle.jpg) [](https://influx-site-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/blumeskintreatment.com/blog/bbl-injection-for-hip-dips-side-angle-1.jpg) [](https://influx-site-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/blumeskintreatment.com/blog/bbl-injection-for-hip-dips-side-angle-2.jpg) [](https://influx-site-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/blumeskintreatment.com/blog/bbl-injection-for-hip-dips-back-angle.jpg) ### **The Procedure** Typically, ten syringes of Radiesse are required (five per side). The Radiesse is then hyper-diluted, which means it is mixed with sodium chloride before being injected. (Hyperdiluted Radiesse is Radiesse that has been thinned out to make it more easily spread over a larger area or for areas where skin is thinner). Injecting this mixture into areas causes the body to produce new collagen and elastin, which leads firmer, smoother, and more full skin! A cannula, which is a blunt-tipped needle is then used to inject the Radiesse into the patient's bottom in the areas of concern. After the syringes are injected, we will then do a firm massage to distribute the product evenly. Overall, this treatment is extremely comfortable. Hyperdiluted Radiesse incorporates lidocaine which is a a numbing product to make the entire procedure painless. There's essentially no downtime, but a possibility of light soreness and bruising at the injection site that should only last a few days. Every treatment is different and tailored to meet the individual's concerns, whether it be lifting the bottom, hip dips, cellulite, or filling out for a rounder shape! In just a couple hours, you can have the tighter, lifted, and dimple-free booty that you always wanted! With no downtime there is no reason to put off getting the booty of your dreams.

Nonetheless, too many spas, doctors, and other injectors lead patients to think these will get the same results as surgery. That is not always the case. There are people who can benefit greatly from non-surgical procedures and then there are those who will be disappointed by the results. If you go to a doctor for non-surgical procedures, make sure you're given realistic expectations. For example, [Botox](/botox/) will give you great results for fine lines, wrinkles, brow lifts, some neck changes, and other areas. But if your eyelids are full of excess skin, please don't think Botox will get rid of this. If there is a large amount of redundant (excess) skin on your whole face you would need too much filler ([Juvederm](/dermal-fillers/), [Restylane](http:///skin-careskin-treatment-services/restylane/), [Radiesse](/radiesse/), Sculptra) to make it worthwhile. On the other hand, if you want [fuller lips](/gallery/), [Juvederm](/dermal-fillers/) and Restylane will easily get you there without surgery and probably better than surgery. Deep lines on the face are corrected appropriately with fillers but may also be eliminated with a face lift, the major differences being cost, pain, and downtime. A good injector can help improve your nose silhouette and make it look smaller for a fraction of the cost of a surgical procedure. Obviously the results will not be the same, but if you are looking for value, [dermal fillers ](/injectables-overview/)may be right for you.

Swelling, Bruising and Redness are all simple events and although minor, can be annoying. Here are some tips to limit some of these issues. - If you have an important event within 7-10 days proceed with fillers with caution as you may get some bruising that will be there for the event. - Stop all medications like aspirin, ibuprofen and fish oils about 5 days before your facial injections. If you have been advised by your doctor to take these medications, check with them before stopping. Applying Arnica Montana following injections or taking small oral doses a few days before and after injections may reduce the chances of bruising. - Dental work two weeks before or planned to occur within two weeks after dermal fillers or PDO threads may increase the chance of bacterial infection. - Flying on an airplane within 24 hours of injections may cause swelling due to the change in pressure. While not a serious side effect, you may be unhappy with the results until the swelling goes down. - Ice always helps with swelling. Apply for 10 minutes every 30-45 minutes for best results. And as always if you have any questions or concerns contact our office and we will be happy to assist you!

I recently realized that I look younger now than when I started working as Blume Skin & Body's controller in 2015. I'm no spring chicken, and this is no mean feat! I have partaken in many of the treatments we offer, and it's very hard to pick a favorite. If you pressed me it would be [Ultherapy](/ultherapy/). My neck and jowls are aging faster than the rest of my face. [Ultherapy](/ultherapy/) is targeted ultrasound which creates a thermal injury to the tissue and forces the body to rebuild collagen and elastin. [Ultherapy](/ultherapy/) is the only FDA approved non-surgical method for lifting the skin on the face, neck and chest. [Ultherapy](/ultherapy/) is a single treatment and lasts, at my age, about 2 years. Certainly, one treatment I had little confidence would work has turned out to be my favorite for the body. Sandra suggested it when I complained of getting wrinkles in my décolletage. The treatment? [Sculptra](/dermal-fillers/) injections in the chest once a month for three months, then maintenance as needed. [Sculptra](/dermal-fillers/) builds collagen and is longer-lasting than many injections. It worked! A v-neckline is more flattering to me than other necklines, and I'm very pleased that I have not had to revamp my wardrobe to work around an unsightly décolletage. I also take the recommended Nutrafol vitamins, so that may be contributing to the longevity of regrowth.

Laser skin ### Content As the intense Arizona summer fades, many residents find themselves looking for effective ways to repair and rejuvenate sun-damaged skin. Laser skin resurfacing has become the go-to solution for those seeking to restore their skin's youthful glow and combat the effects of prolonged sun exposure. At Blume Skin & Body, we specialize in personalized laser treatments designed to address each patient's unique skincare needs and goals. ## What is Laser Skin Resurfacing? Laser skin resurfacing is a cutting-edge, non-surgical cosmetic procedure that revitalizes the skin by promoting a smoother texture and a more radiant complexion. Using advanced laser technology, targeted laser energy creates microchannels in the skin's surface, stimulating the body's natural healing process and boosting collagen production. Collagen and elastin are essential proteins that give your skin its firmness, elasticity, and youthful volume. This process also generates heat in the deeper layers of the skin, remodeling tissues from the inside out. As new collagen forms and healthy skin resurfaces, the appearance of rough textures, fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and skin laxity improves significantly. While these conditions naturally develop with age, they are often accelerated by factors like excessive sun exposure-making laser resurfacing an ideal treatment for restoring your skin's vitality. At Blume Skin & Body, we offer state-of-the-art laser technologies, including the M-22 ResurFX™ laser by Lumenis® and the Sciton MOXI®. Our Laser Duo and Laser Trio treatments combine these non-ablative lasers with [photofacial](/ipl-bbl-laser/) technology, enhancing the overall results and delivering radiant, youthful skin. ## Who is an Ideal Candidate for Laser Skin Resurfacing? Laser skin resurfacing is a versatile treatment suitable for most individuals concerned with signs of aging or sun damage on the face and body. However, those with sensitive skin types or a history of scarring should consult with our specialists to determine if this treatment is right for them. A personalized consultation with our experienced medical professionals and skincare experts will help identify the best laser treatment tailored to your needs. ## The Laser Skin Resurfacing Process Your journey to rejuvenated skin begins with an in-depth consultation where one of our expert laser technicians will assess your skin and discuss your cosmetic goals. This evaluation helps us determine the most effective laser technology for your personalized treatment plan. The procedure itself is quick and convenient, typically lasting between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area and the specific conditions being addressed. ## Recovery and Aftercare Tips for Optimal Results Post-treatment, patients may experience mild redness, swelling, and sensitivity, which usually subside within a few days. To ensure a smooth recovery and enhance the effectiveness of your treatment, we recommend: - **Avoiding direct sun exposure:** Shield your skin from the sun, especially during the healing process. - **Moisturizing regularly:** Keep your skin hydrated to support healing. - **Using gentle skincare products:** Avoid harsh exfoliants and opt for soothing, hydrating products. Results from laser skin resurfacing will gradually appear as collagen develops, with improvements continuing for several months. ## How to Maintain Your Results To prolong the benefits of your laser resurfacing treatment, consider these simple steps: - **Daily use of broad-spectrum sunscreen:** Protect your skin from future damage with a high-quality SPF. - **Consistent moisturizing:** Keep your skin hydrated to maintain its youthful texture and appearance. - **Incorporating antioxidant-rich skincare products:** These can help to fight free radicals and support skin health. - **Scheduling follow-up treatments:** Periodic laser sessions or complementary procedures can help maintain your results over time. ## Ready to Rejuvenate Your Skin? Schedule a Consultation Today! The Arizona sun may have taken a toll on your skin, but you can restore your healthy, beautiful complexion with our advanced laser resurfacing treatments. If you're in Scottsdale, Phoenix, Paradise Valley, Fountain Hills, or Gilbert, Arizona, we invite you to schedule a consultation at Blume Skin & Body.

What is it? Why does it happen? What is the best way to treat it? Unfortunately, rosacea affects an estimated 16 million Americans. It is ### Content Rosacea. What is it? Why does it happen? What is the best way to treat it? Unfortunately, rosacea affects an estimated 16 million Americans. It is chronic, but treatable and will worsen over time if it is left untreated. Fortunately, there are several avenues people can go to for relief. [There are topical skin treatments, laser treatments, microneedling and lifestyle changes.](/services/) Rosacea (roh-ZAY-sha) is a common skin condition that causes visible blood vessels and redness in your face. It can also be combined with small, red, pus-filled bumps. It is common for the signs and symptoms to last several weeks to months and then disappear for a while. People who struggle with this condition also have a tendency to blush or flush more easily than other people. This redness is most commonly on the nose and cheeks, forehead and chin. However, it can spread to the ears, chest and back. According to the National Rosacea Society, "Studies have shown that over time the redness tends to become ruddier and more persistent, and visible blood vessels may appear. Left untreated, inflammatory bumps and pimples often develop, and in severe cases - particularly in men - the nose may grow swollen and bumpy from excess tissue." There are several signs and symptoms of rosacea. The first category is diagnostic signs, persistent redness and skin thickening. The second category are major signs of rosacea, which are flushing, bumps and pimples, visible blood vessels and eye irritation. The third category is secondary signs and symptoms, which may appear with one or more of the diagnostic or major signs. These are burning or stinging sensations on the face, swelling or dryness. [](https://influx-site-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/blumeskintreatment.com/blog/4f05d1f50e628188970065bfe2c518a5-300x150.jpg) Treatment for rosacea varies from individual to individual. Blume Skin & Body has some tried and true ways to help with rosacea. The first is an [IPL/BBL Photofacial](/ipl-bbl-laser/) treatment. The light energy delivered by this [BBL treatment](/ipl-bbl-laser/) gently heats the upper layers of your skin, which stimulates your skin cells to regenerate. This treatment is tailored to match your skin type and desired results. The [IPL/BBL](/ipl-bbl-laser/) encourages the growth of collagen to replace damaged skin and heal skin conditions. The conditions that may be helped with regular treatments are acne, rosacea, pigmentation and fine lines and wrinkles. How does the [BBL/IPL](/ipl-bbl-laser/) laser affect Rosacea? It breaks up the vessels and building collagen. It is important to note that each patient is different and will respond differently so it is important to receive a complimentary consultation with Blume Skin & Body before any treatment. The [BBL/IPL laser](/ipl-bbl-laser/) will not cure rosacea, but the symptoms can be managed with consistent treatments. It is best to have a series of three to six treatments spaced four to six weeks apart. From there you can determine how often you need to return for maintenance treatments. Remember, rosacea is chronic and uncurable. It is best to find a maintenance plan that works for you and stick with it. [](https://influx-site-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/blumeskintreatment.com/blog/unknown-1.jpeg) Finding a skin care routine is also an important part of managing rosacea. If you have rosacea you should be using a mild or gentle cleanser twice a day. We really like the [Gentle Foaming Cleanser from Epionce](/epionce/), the [Gentle Cleanser from ZO Skin Health](/zo-skin-health/) or the [Wonder Falls from Valmont](/valmont/). These cleansers will gently cleanse the skin without any harsh irritants. Always use lukewarm water and blot your face dry. Never use a rough washcloth or pull or tug on your skin. If you have rosacea you should never use scrubs or any exfoliants. The next step in your routine would be a serum to help reduce the appearance of redness. Our favorites are the [DNA Repair Serum from Valmont](/valmont/) or [Rozatrol from ZO Skin Health](/zo-skin-health/). Both of these products will help protect the skin and boost collagen production.

Around 3 million people each year are diagnosed with rosacea but signs and symptoms are often difficult to miss because ### Content April is rosacea awareness month. Around 3 million people each year are diagnosed with rosacea but signs and symptoms are often difficult to miss because they resemble acne and other skin conditions. Here is everything you need to know about the key symptoms of rosacea and how you can achieve clear and healthy skin. ## What is Rosacea? Rosacea is a progressive vascular disorder that affects the face and the eyes. It presents itself with facial redness and skin flaking or irritation. Skin thickening, especially on the nose, and spider veins or visible blood vessels are also common symptoms of rosacea. If rosacea goes untreated, it can develop into ocular rosacea which causes severe eye irritation and can be damaging to your eyesight. Acne rosacea is also another form of the condition, and it results in pus-filled bumps that may be tender to the touch. ## What Causes Rosacea? There is no one cause of rosacea since flare-ups can be caused by various factors. However, people with fair skin or those with a family history of rosacea are often more at risk for developing this skin condition. It's important to know your triggers. Of course, everybody's skin is different and requires different care. The same goes for rosacea. Some of the most common triggers are: - Exposure to sunlight - Stress - Strenuous exercise - Hot or cold weather - Hot beverages - Alcohol or caffeine - Certain foods like seafood or spicy foods ## How Can You Treat Rosacea? Rosacea can be extremely difficult to treat on your own. So many individuals believe that, after being diagnosed with rosacea, there really isn't anything that can be done to reduce the persistent redness, flaking, irritation, broken capillaries, and acne bumps. But that isn't true at all! Skincare products alone typically are not effective but here are a few tips on helping to control a rosacea flare. Make sure you were using the appropriate skin care for your condition. Using products containing actives, like glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and retinoids can be irritating to the skin when used improperly. This can also trigger a rosacea flare. Consulting with a licensed medical aesthetician to establish a customized skincare routine is key! As we enter into warmer months, it's important to remember to try and keep your body hydrated. Seek shade when possible. Too much sun exposure is not only damaging to your skin, but it can also trigger a rosacea flare faster than you think! ## In-Office Rosacea Treatments Based on your concerns and goals, a licensed medical aesthetician will plan accordingly with your rosacea in mind. ### Photofacial Treatments like [BBL or IPL Photofacial](/ipl-bbl-laser/) can help to reduce skin redness and inflammation. It also helps to kill P acne, which will help reduce acne breakouts associated with rosacea. The broadband light heats up the broken capillaries and broken blood vessels, eliminating them from the skin. [Photofacial](/ipl-bbl-laser/) treatment also helps to stimulate collagen production, which will help to strengthen the skin, improving its overall quality. ### Topical Medications Since rosacea can come with a slew of side effects, irritation is one of the top concerns. Thankfully, there are topical treatments that can help reduce the irritation that comes with rosacea. The Rozatrol [Hydrafacial](/hydrafacial-dp4-microneedling/) booster is a safe way to relieve the visible signs of red, sensitized skin and detox the skin. While it replenishes the hydration within the skin, it also helps to support a healthy skin barrier. ## Schedule a Consultation When you combine custom skincare treatments and medical-grade skin care, managing your rosacea will become easier and less stressful.

Let's talk about your pregnancy skincare routine! ### Content # How to Build a Pregnancy Skincare Routine Everything changes when you get pregnant. LITERALLY. So when you get pregnant, all sorts of fun thing start to happen. You now become responsible for that tiny peanut that lives inside of you. So what you eat, drink, and put on your skin can affect that little peanut. Let's talk about your pregnancy skincare routine! Is this going to be a life changing event for you skincare? Not necessarily. *Disclaimer- always consult with your OBGYN prior to any changes being made to your skincare and lifestyle routine* So there are a few thing that should always be avoided during pregnancy: Ingredients. Reading your labels are going to be very important with your new 9+ month skincare routine. Retin-A, Retinol, Retinoid and Retinyl Palmitate are all ingredients that stimulate cellular turnover within the skin cells. Which is fantastic! But must be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding. There isn't enough data to prove that these ingredients in skincare are safe for a developing baby. Some research has shown that these "R" ingredients have the ability to cross over into the blood stream, so they must be avoided. Salicylic Acid. A great ingredient primarily found in skincare products that are geared towards acne prone skin. However, Salicylic Acid has been in other non-acne skincare products. Such as body lotions, shampoos, and hand creams. So again, reading your labels is huge. Like Retinoids, research has shown that salicylic acid does have the ability to cross over into the blood stream. So avoiding this ingredient is recommended. Glycolic Acid. This particular ingredient is on the maybe list. I have always recommended to my clients to avoid glycolic acid. As stated above, making sure you check with your OBGYN first. Some will say it's safe, some will say it should be avoided. For instance, using a glycolic based cleanser once a week versus getting a glycolic acid [chemical peel](/chemical-peel/) are extremely different. So proper consulting with your health care provider is crucial. Benzoyl Peroxide. Another ingredient primarily found in skincare for acne prone skin. BP dries everything up, excess oil and oily acne, which is great! But not when you're pregnant. Whether it's in a cleanser form, cream, gel, serum, or spot treatment, it must be avoided. Antioxidants. Know your sources. Where are the antioxidants coming from? Vitamin C typically is safe, vitamin A is not safe. Vitamin A is technically retin-a. So as stated above, that should be avoided. Hyaluronic acid. HA is very safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It's so common for an expectant mothers skin to be more dry during pregnancy. So using hyaluronic acid based products are very beneficial to the skin during this time! Since we covered skincare products to avoid during pregnancy, lets go over treatments. Facials are perfectly safe to get during pregnancy. If anything, they are encouraged! Taking time for yourself during this joyous time is so important, not only for your skins health, but your mental health as well! If you are more prone to acne, or have developed acne due to your pregnancy, getting facials will help to improve your skin. Especially if you can't use your acne skincare products. Always be upfront with your licensed esthetician prior to getting any facials or other treatments. Even if you are in the early stages of pregnancy. There may be steps and products she has to avoid during your treatment that aren't safe for pregnancy. Such as high frequency, peels or any of the ingredients I listed above. [Microdermabrasions](/about/meet-the-team/) are perfectly safe to receive during pregnancy. It will help relieve your skin of the excess dead skin, restore your glow and stimulate cellular turnover when you're not able to use your retinoids. [Chemical Peels](/chemical-peel/) should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Glycolic, Salicylic or any type of a blended peel. Unfortunately there just aren't enough studies to show safety during this time. [Microneedling](/microneedling/), [Lasers](/laser-treatments-overview/), [Ultherapy](/ultherapy/), and[ injectables](/injectables-overview/) are all to be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Becoming a parent comes with sacrifices. Sacrificing warm meals, sleep, trips to the bathroom alone. But no one tells you about the true sacrifices. Giving up [Botox](/botox/), retinol, and laser treatments. But in the end its so worth it.

According to the "Transform yourself with CoolSculpting" pamphlet, "CoolSculptiing technology was born from the simple observation that some children got dimples due to eating popsicles. The idea that cold can selectively affect fat cells was the insight behind Cryolipolysis, the proven science on which [CoolSculpting](/coolsculpting/) is based." Amazing technology resulting from a simple observation of small children enjoying popsicles.

I say it is all service. You can buy products for the skin at many ### Content There are some who try to differentiate products from services in delivering skin care. I say it is all service. You can buy products for the skin at many places, yet the important thing to know is what to do with them. What kind you need, whether your skin is oily or dry, and when to apply them. Which product goes with another and how far apart do you use them. These are all questions that need answers beyond what product to buy. You may even be using the right product but applying it incorrectly. The same is true for injections and lasers. I have been told that you can train anyone to inject [Botox](/botox/). If that is so, why do people continue to seek out an injector with experience and reliable results? Further, once you find someone you don't want to change. It's frequently the same with hair stylists - once you find that perfect person, you may travel a distance to get your hair cut because of the consistency of results. I do not agree that all injectors are the same, some are decidedly better than others. When a new client comes to my office, they will sometimes address the cost, stating that they can get it cheaper elsewhere. My response is always the same. "You are buying my service, the product comes for free." As for lasers, the quality of the laser COMBINED with the operator is the service you get. Not all lasers are equal in quality and the same for the person who delivers that service. The technician, nurse, or physician needs to understand what the laser was designed to do and add their own experience in the settings used for the desired results. So, [skin care is a service](/services/), not a product. Look for the best service and when you find it, stay there. We hope you find it here at the Blume Skin Centre.

With exciting new FDA approvals, Ultherapy now offers non-surgical [skin tightening](/ultherapy/) for both the face and the body for those seeking to restore their youthful glow this fall season. ## Revolutionary Ultherapy PRIME® Skin Tightening Technology [Ultherapy](/ultherapy/) PRIME® represents the latest innovation in non-surgical skin tightening, delivering focused ultrasound energy deeper, faster, and more comfortably than ever before. This cutting-edge technology is the only FDA-cleared treatment to non-invasively lift and tighten skin on the brow, jawline, neck, and under the chin, while also smoothing lines on the décolletage. Unlike lasers or radiofrequency treatments that work on the surface, Ultherapy PRIME® bypasses the skin’s outer layer and uses microfocused ultrasound to stimulate your body’s own collagen production from within. The treatment creates controlled thermal zones beneath the skin, triggering your body’s natural healing response to produce fresh collagen and elastin over time. ## Breakthrough FDA Approval for Body Skin Tightening Exciting news for non-surgical skin tightening in Arizona: Ultherapy PRIME® has recently received FDA clearance for use on the upper arms and abdomen, expanding treatment options beyond traditional facial applications. This groundbreaking approval opens new possibilities for comprehensive body rejuvenation without surgery. ### Upper Arm Skin Tightening: Say Goodbye to “Bat Wings” As we age, the skin on the upper arms often becomes loose due to factors such as estrogen loss or significant weight loss, leading to crepey, sagging skin that many find concerning. Ultherapy treatments for the upper arms deliver precise ultrasound energy deep into the dermis, where collagen formation occurs, stimulating natural collagen and elastin production. The upper arm treatment process begins with a topical numbing cream before the ultrasound handpiece is applied to the skin. The device delivers targeted pulses that heat the tissue, encouraging new collagen growth without damaging the skin’s surface. Patients often describe the sensation as warm “pins and needles,” with cooling air used for enhanced comfort. A typical session for the upper arms lasts about 75 minutes, including preparation time. Most patients see significant improvement after just one treatment, though some may benefit from a second session depending on their goals and skin condition. With Ultherapy PRIME®, you can feel confident going sleeveless again and enjoying Arizona’s beautiful autumn weather. ### Abdominal Skin Tightening: Restore Core Confidence The newly FDA-approved abdominal treatments target loose skin that may result from pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or natural aging processes. This non-surgical skin tightening option provides an alternative to invasive procedures, helping restore a more youthful abdominal contour. ## Comprehensive Skin Tightening for Face & Body In addition to the arms and abdomen, Ultherapy can also address other areas of the body: - Décolletage and chest area – Perfect for addressing sun damage and crepey skin from Arizona’s intense summer sun - Face and neck – The original gold standard applications for comprehensive facial rejuvenation ## The Science Behind Lasting Results The effectiveness of Ultherapy lies in its ability to stimulate collagen production at multiple depths. The treatment utilizes different transducers that can target depths of 1.5mm, 3.0mm, and 4.5mm beneath the skin. This precision allows practitioners to customize treatments for each individual’s unique concerns and anatomy. Clinical studies have demonstrated impressive results, with patients experiencing noticeable improvements in skin firmness and texture. The treatment works by creating tiny areas of thermal coagulation, which the body repairs by producing new collagen over time, resulting in: - Firmer, tighter skin - Improved texture and elasticity - More defined contours - A lifted, refreshed appearance ## Why Autumn is Perfect for Skin Tightening Fall is an ideal time for [Ultherapy treatments](/ultherapy/). After a summer of sun exposure, many people notice increased signs of aging and skin damage. The cooler autumn temperatures make it more comfortable to undergo treatments, and the gradual nature of [Ultherapy results](/ultherapy/) means you’ll see improvements developing throughout the fall and winter months. Additionally, there’s minimal downtime with Ultherapy treatments. Some patients experience mild redness or swelling that typically resolves within a few hours to days. This makes it perfect for busy Scottsdale residents who want to maintain their active lifestyles while addressing skin concerns. ## The Blume Skin & Body Advantage in Skin Tightening At [Blume Skin & Body](/about/meet-the-team/), we’re proud to be Arizona’s #1 provider of Ultherapy treatments and one of the first practices in the region to offer [Ultherapy PRIME®](/ultherapy/), recently featured in a national campaign with Salma Hayek. Our team has served as a Center of Excellence Training site for Merz/Ultherapy, ensuring unparalleled expertise in facial anatomy and energy-based aesthetics. [Dr. Blume’s personal experience with Ultherapy](/blog/dr-blumes-ultherapy-story/) speaks to the treatment’s effectiveness and comfort level. Having undergone the procedure multiple times, Dr. Blume can personally attest to its impressive results. Our [patient testimonials](/testimonials/) consistently highlight the exceptional care and outstanding results achieved at our Scottsdale location. ## What to Expect During Your Treatment Your Ultherapy journey begins with a comprehensive consultation to review your goals and medical history, and to determine the ideal areas to target. A topical numbing cream or nitrous oxide may be used to ensure comfort throughout the process. During the procedure, a smooth ultrasound applicator is applied to the skin with ultrasound gel. Real-time imaging allows your provider to deliver precise energy to the optimal depth, triggering new collagen where it matters most. Most patients feel a warming or tingling sensation, but discomfort is minimal, especially with Ultherapy PRIME®’s enhanced comfort technology. ## Long-Lasting, Natural Skin Tightening Results One of the most appealing aspects of non-surgical skin tightening like Ultherapy is the natural progression of results. Because the treatment works by stimulating collagen production, results build gradually over 3 to 6 months. Results typically last 1 to 3 years, depending on your skin and aging process, and many patients choose annual maintenance treatments to support continued collagen production. ## Ready to Transform Your Skin This Autumn? Don’t let summer’s effects on your skin define your fall appearance. With the exciting new FDA approvals for upper arms and abdomen, Ultherapy body treatments offer more comprehensive options than ever before to restore your skin’s youthful vitality without surgery or extended downtime.

Finding the right treatment for you can seem complicated, especially if you have multiple concerns you would like to address. The [Lumenis M-22](/lumenis-m-22-resurfx-photofractional/) is a treatment we do at Blume Skin & Body that will target three signs of aging plus build collagen in one appointment! We call this treatment the [Photofractional](/lumenis-m-22-resurfx-photofractional/) and its main focus is treating pigmentation, sun damage, Rosacea, and [skin tightening](/ultherapy/) with the overall improvement in texture. How can one device address all of those issues? Well, it is a combination of [IPL](/ipl-bbl-laser/) with the first true fractional non ablative technology that gives you an effective result with just one pass. We can customize this treatment using either technologies or both depending on what your skin needs. With the use of topical numbing, the [Photofractional](/lumenis-m-22-resurfx-photofractional/) treatment has very minimal discomfort. Most of our patients do a series of 3 treatments scheduled 4-6 weeks apart. Another reason our patient's love this treatment is that it has very minimal downtime, with only a few days of being light pink. One of my favorite ways to use the [ReSurFX](/lumenis-m-22-resurfx-photofractional/) fractional portion of this treatment is to minimize stretch marks! Stretch marks are created by tearing, down to the dermis and this is why they can be hard to treat and downright frustrating! With [ReSurFX](/lumenis-m-22-resurfx-photofractional/), we can control the spot size and precisely trace over the stretch mark to cause a boost in collagen, which creates an effective result in eliminating those stubborn marks. Not only have our clients seen amazing results, I personally have treated my stretch marks and have been blow away by the results! We are constantly looking for ways to give you the best results with the least amount of downtime and discomfort so you can go back to your busy schedule looking even more fabulous. We highly recommend adding the [Valmont Collagen Mask](/valmont-collagen-facial/) at the end of this treatment to speed up your healing time. This rejuvenating mask is 100% pure medical grade collagen which has extreme healing properties as well as firming ingredients to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles immediately post treatment. This is a must try!

While I was growing up in Detroit, Michigan, we had maybe three months of sun. Let me tell you that I made the most of it, even going against my wise mother's warnings of wrinkles and freckles. I admit to using baby oil and aluminum foil to achieve that "perfect tan". Unfortunately, even after I had an epiphany and realized that sun avoidance is the best path to healthy, beautiful and cancer-free skin, my realization comes after decades of overexposure. Sun-induced hyper pigmentation most often presents as sporadic freckling that appears on the highly exposed areas of the face, chest, arms and legs. So now, I have more "spots" or hyperpigmentation than a Dalmatian. My quest to rid my face and body of these unsightly freckles has begun. The important exfoliation and cell turnover was my first step. For my face, I started with the [Vi Peel ](/chemical-peel/)for extreme exfoliation and[ IPL](http:///skin-careskin-treatment-services/photofacial/) (photo facials) to aid in decreasing excess surface pigmentation. I have starting using PCA's Pigment Serum and Avene's Retrinal +0.1 to help even out my skin tone. For my chest, arms and lower legs, I have regular PCA Body Smoothing Peels and [IPL (photo facials)](/ipl-bbl-laser/) and use PCA Body Therapy with 20% Lactic Acid. Let me stress, the most important products I use EVERYDAY are PCA Perfecting Protecting SPF 30 for the face and Glytone Suncare Protect SPF 40 Waterproof lotion for the body.

So for all you outdoor enthusiasts - walkers, hikers, bikers, swimmers, boaters, campers, and even for those who would rather stay in their air conditioned home, the sun and the 100-degree temperature is something we need to prepare for. It is so important to protect your skin from the UV rays which cause premature aging and the potential for skin cancer. As much as we all love the sun, sun overexposure ages our skin with wrinkles, sagging and brown spots. Daily use of a broad spectrum SPF of at least 30 or higher is the best defense. Begin your ritual in the morning - after you cleanse and moisturize put on sunscreen. Don't forget to put sunscreen on your hands and even your arms. Of course if you are going to be out by the pool or the beach, full body protection is essential. Make sure reapply every 2 to 3 hours! Here at Blume Skin Centre we recommend **Elta MD**. It is a medically based product line that is fragrance-free, sensitivity-free, and paraben free. It contains zinc oxide a mineral compound to protect skin against UVA and UVB rays. **Elta MD** has a wide variety of products with SPF from 30 to 50, clear or tinted, oil free, and water resistant. Sun protection can also be fashionable. If you are looking for sun protection in a hat we carry the **Sunday Afternoon** line which is not only stylish but also practical depending on your outdoor activity. We carry many different styles and colors all with a SPF of 50. I have to say people love our hats and it is not unusual for our customers to buy more than one. So when it comes to Sun protection...we have you covered...so to speak...our Elta MD sunscreen along with a fabulous hat will help keep your skin safe, protected and youthful. **Stop by our office today to browse our hats and sunscreen, all 20% off this month only!** [.button.overview_button][Back To Overview](/blog/)[] [Previous Post](/blog/monalisa-touch/) --- ## Sun Safe Skin Treatments for Glowing Skin **Link:** [Sun Safe Skin Treatments for Glowing Skin](https://blumeskintreatment.com/blog/sun-safe-skin-treatments-for-glowing-skin/) ([md](https://blumeskintreatment.com/blog/sun-safe-skin-treatments-for-glowing-skin/index.html.md)) **Description:** Achieving healthy and radiant skin is a goal many share.

However, maintaining a flawless complexion can be challenging due to the harmful effects of the sun's rays. Fortunately, sun-safe skin treatments are available that enhance your skin's appearance, minimize downtime, and allow you to continue enjoying the outdoors. ## What Are Sun Safe Skin Treatments? Sun-safe skin treatments are cosmetic procedures designed to rejuvenate and enhance the skin's appearance without subjecting it to extended periods of sun avoidance or the need for significant downtime. These treatments utilize advanced technologies to stimulate collagen production, improve texture and tone, reduce signs of aging, and promote overall skin health. Let's take a closer look at some popular sun-safe treatments available today. ### Ultherapy [Ultherapy](/ultherapy/) is a non-invasive procedure that uses ultrasound energy to tighten and lift drooping skin. By targeting the deep layers of the skin, [ultherapy](/ultherapy/) stimulates collagen production, resulting in a firmer and more youthful complexion. Ultherapy is an excellent choice for individuals seeking a non-surgical facelift or neck lift. ### RF Microneedling [RF microneedling](/rf-microneedling-skin-tightening/) combines the benefits of [microneedling with radiofrequency](/rf-microneedling-skin-tightening/) energy to effectively treat a range of skin concerns. The tiny needles create microchannels in the skin, allowing the radiofrequency energy to penetrate deeper and stimulate collagen production. [RF microneedling](/non-surgical-mommy-makeover/) is a versatile treatment that can address wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin tone and skin texture. ### Lumenis TriLift Laser The [Lumenis TriLift Laser](/lumenis-trilift-laser/) is a cutting-edge treatment that utilizes radiofrequency, muscle stimulation, and [microneedling](/hydrafacial-dp4-microneedling/) technology to target specific areas of the skin. This non-invasive procedure stimulates collagen synthesis, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and improves skin tone and texture. ### Hydrafacial + Skinstylus [Hydrafacial](/hydrafacial/) combined with Skinstylus is a dynamic duo for radiant and hydrated skin. The Hydrafacial treatment deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates the skin, while the Skinstylus device makes small punctures in the skin to stimulate collagen production and address specific skin concerns. It also gives the serum used in the Hydrafacial a place to go to deeply penetrate the skin. This [combination treatment](/hydrafacial-dp4-microneedling/) is suitable for all skin types and provides instant results, making it an ideal option before a special event or as part of a regular skincare routine. ### Facials Facials are a versatile and customizable skincare treatment that can address many concerns, from hydration and deep cleansing to anti-aging and brightening. At Blume Skin & Body, we offer a variety of facials tailored to meet individual needs. Some of our popular facials include: - [Geneo Facial](/geneo-facial/): Good for brightening and revitalizing dull skin. - Hydrafacial: Ideal for deep cleansing and hydration. [Medical-grade Facials](/medical-grade-facials/): Customized treatments designed to target specific skin concerns, such as acne, hyperpigmentation, and aging. [Valmont Collagen Facial](/valmont-collagen-facial/): A collagen-boosting treatment that enhances skin elasticity and firmness. [ZO 5-in-1 Super Facial](/zo-5-in-1-super-facial/): Addresses multiple skin concerns, including acne, texture, and discoloration.

We offer a variety of ### Content At Blume Skin & Body, [our team](/about/meet-the-team/) is dedicated to providing the latest treatments for achieving healthy and beautiful skin. We offer a variety of services, including cryotherapy, which is growing in popularity among our patients due to its numerous benefits. In this blog post, we will discuss the benefits of [cryotherapy](/cryotherapy-cryoprobe/) and how it can help you achieve your desired results. ## What is Cryotherapy? Cryotherapy is a non-invasive procedure that utilizes cold temperatures to remove small growths and lesions from the skin without surgery. With a tiny applicator, cryotherapy can be used to freeze off unwanted skin concerns with no pain or downtime. It can even be performed right in our comfortable Scottsdale office. ## Benefits of Cryotherapy Cryotherapy helps patients who are looking for a non-invasive way to get rid of unwanted skin growths like: - Age spots - Blemishes - Seborrheic Keratosis Cryotherapy is performed using no anesthetic so you’ll feel a slight burning sensation during the treatment. One of the biggest benefits of cryotherapy is that it comes with little downtime or incisions, reducing the chances of scarring or complications. It’s a very fast and effective way to get rid of unwanted spots on the skin. ## Cryotherapy Treatments at Blume Skin & Body Cryotherapy treatments are very quick. To begin, you’ll discuss your goals with our team and determine the best approach. We use CryoProbe, a new pen-sized device that uses nitrous oxide rather than liquid nitrogen. This allows for less pain and more precise treatment. The appropriately sized applicator is applied to the area without damaging the surrounding skin. Once complete, you can return to your daily activities. There’s little downtime after cryotherapy treatments and no chance of scarring. Eventually, the area will scab over and flake off, revealing healthy and clear skin underneath. ## Schedule an Appointment If you are looking for an effective and safe way to remove skin spots without surgery, then cryotherapy may be the right choice for you. Whether you are looking for clearer skin, body contouring, or just want to feel relaxed and refreshed, our expert team at Blume Skin & Body will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan specifically designed for your needs. We are committed to helping you look and feel your best. For more information about our services or to schedule a consultation with our team, [contact us online](/consultation/) or call our Scottsdale office today. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

The full eyebrow is back in style and creating a bold new look. We've all made the same mistake of over tweezing our eyebrows and then desperately regretting it afterwards. It can take months to regrow and can leave us feeling not so pretty. I've done this a time or two and the best advice I can give to speed up this ugly process is to use [**Latisse**](/latisse/)! Yes, I know Latisse is indicated for eyelashes but it can also help increase the growth of your eyebrows. *(You can purchase *[***Latisse***](/latisse/)* at the Blume Skin Centre.)* The eyebrows are the most important feature of the face. A fuller brow can make you look younger, make your eyes pop and create the look of a brow lift! Now who doesn't want that? At the Blume Skin Centre we will make sure you have the right symmetrical eyebrow shape for your face. We can work with you to correctly shape your eyebrows while they grow out and assist with maintenance once you've achieved the perfect shape. Eyebrow Shape (*please see the above picture as a reference*): 1) The start of your brow should line up with the outer edge of the nostrils. *Use a thin makeup brush to try this at home.* 2) To locate your natural arch, angle the edge towards the outer portion of the iris. This is the highest part of the brow's arch. 3) The brow should end where your straight edge lines up to the outside corners of the eye. 4) Two sections should align: Underneath the start of your brow and the end of your brow. If you're ready to ditch the over tweezed thinning brows and create a fuller more youthful look - we can help! We can help with eyebrow shaping, maintenance, and determining the best brow products to use. Call us today at 480-699-7999 to schedule your appointment and book a facial and brow shaping. You can also schedule your appointment online [**here**](/). The Blume Skin Centre will guide you to your best looking self.

Love having the breeze from open windows in the evening. Love the bright, airy clothing and flip flops. However, we hate the damage the sun does to our skin. Hate the wrinkles we get from squinting when it gets too bright out. Hate the dark mascara circles we get under our eyes after a lazy day swimming. Whether we love or hate the heat, it is a simple fact for us Arizona dwellers. Many of us wonder what are the best skincare products for summer use? What should I use for extremely dry skin? How do I get rid of oily skin? What are my skin treatment options? The answers to many of these questions are as simple as scheduling a consultation with our [Medical Aesthetician, Sandra Caldwell](/about/meet-the-team/). With years of experience, Sandra will educate you in depth on the benefits of facial [rejuvenation treatments](/services/) for healthy, glowing summer skin. A simple switch to cleansers for oily skin. A rich nourishing moisturizer for itchy dry skin. Sensitive skin? Sandra has the answers and can recommend products from our wide variety of lines- PCA, AVENE, Neocutis, iS Clinical, Jane Iredale Mineral Makeup, Advanced Mineral Makeup, and many more.

Whether you are looking for general anti-aging treatments such as [Ultherapy](/ultherapy/) or to resolve specific issues such as acne scaring, it is very important to following our post procedure guidelines. As skin care professionals, we come up with appropriate treatment plan and budget that the patient is most comfortable with. With our advanced lasers and equipment, we use our expertise to give our patients the best outcome. One giant piece of the puzzle in reaching your desired result is patient compliance with aftercare instructions. We can't stress how important it is to follow directions and protect your skin during the healing stages after a procedure. This will determine whether you see that "wow" result or an underwhelming or even worse, a negative outcome that needs to be corrected. Not every skin treatment we do requires downtime. We provide amazing facial treatments that we recommend monthly (i.e., [Hydrafacial](/hydrafacial/), [ZO 5 in 1 Superfacial](/zo-5-in-1-super-facial/), [Oxygeneo](/geneo-facial/), [Dermasweep](/dermasweep-md/), [Dermaplanning](/dermaplaning/) and more), that will leave you glowing and red carpet ready. The procedures that require some downtime are: [chemical peels](/chemical-peel/) (fan favorite the [VI Peel](/chemical-peel/)), [Microneedling](/microneedling/), [Radio Frequency Microneedling](/body-contouring/), [Photofacials](/ipl-bbl-laser/), [Resurfx](/lumenis-m-22-resurfx-photofractional/) etc. These treatments will have some downtime ranging from slight redness, increased sun sensitivity, peeling and some swelling can also be expected. Every Aesthetician/Laser Tech at some point has spoken the words "no pain, no gain" to describe how rewarding the results of these procedures provide. When you book your appointment, it's a good idea to look at your schedule the week following treatment. You can wear post procedure or mineral makeup the day after getting most of these treatments, so you can go back to work, run errands and enjoy family time. What you want to avoid is outdoor activities such as hiking, tennis, golf, swimming or anything with prolonged sun exposure and sweating. Depending on the procedure itself, working out is off limits until skin has had time to repair and recover. We will provide or suggest a mild post procedure skin care regimen, which means any products that contain AHA/BHA acids, topical prescription lotions like retinols, exfoliating scrubs, potent antioxidants and even fruit enzymes are not recommended until skin is healed. This can take anywhere from 3 days up to 2 weeks depending on what you had done. Now let's talk about the possible issues you can experience if you aren't compliant with aftercare. For example, when you do a [VI Peel](/chemical-peel/) we advise our patients not to exercise until you are almost done peeling. That can take about 5 days. If you can't live without your daily dose of CrossFit and decide to go anyways, sweat can get trapped underneath the skin that hasn't peeled yet. This can result in blisters (think sweat blisters) that can cause you to be more irritated, experience acne flare ups or a dull result. If you have an [IPL Photofacial](/ipl-bbl-laser/) (this treats sun damage and skin vascularity's) you can experience increased sun sensitivity. It is very important to avoid sun exposure before and after the treatment or you can increase your odds of getting Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation. The expected result after having a [Photofacial](/ipl-bbl-laser/) is to remove your sun damage, but if you decide to play 18 holes of golf the day after you could be adding to your collection of brown spots... Yikes! Not our end goal! With our busy schedules it can be difficult to be compliant through the downtime. However, why wouldn't you follow instructions to insure the best outcome when you are investing time and money into your skin? That hot yoga class will be waiting for you next week, we love seeing our patients happy and confident! We will always provide the best treatment possible and will send you on your way with the right products, instructions and a simple prescription of sunscreen, Netflix and chill, and always remember "Some things are worth the wait". Caitlin Sixbey LE, LSO, I've been in the Medical Aesthetics industry for 14 years and there is truly no better feeling then seeing a client's smile and self-esteem sky rocket from the results you helped them achieve.

That's the patient who returns regularly. Just like when I was in family practice, we don't sell product we deliver service. Our patients are like friends and family. We know when a baby is born, a parent is sick; a vacation is planned, and other things about our patients other than acne scarring, pimples, [Botox](/botox/), and dermal fillers. It is not unusual to spend a large amount of time with a patient to explain what it is we do, how things work and what is reasonably expected at The Blume Skin Centre. If I had to see a Botox or [Juvederm](/dermal-fillers/) patient every 15 minutes, I would go crazy. That is not enough time to really listen to patients, explain what all of the services are, and help them decide what they want. Anyone can do "walk-in Botox" for $8 per unit. I don't do that and will not do that. After all, I am treating friends and family, developing new "friends" and providing value added service. We hope that is what you are looking for.

I recently did [The Perfect Derma Peel](/chemical-peel/) and had amazing results! If you are looking for fast results that will dramatically improve skin texture, tone and overall clarity - this is the treatment for you! This is a treatment for all skin types to help slow down the aging process. When I decided to do this peel my main concerns were acne breakouts, hyperpigmentation and overall dullness of my skin. **Here is my daily experience/progress:** When the peel was applied I felt a mild tingling sensation. After about thirty seconds to a minute that feeling subsided and my skin felt back to normal with a slight tightness effect. I had an orange glow which was from the color of the peel. From there I left the peel on for six hours without washing, touching or applying any makeup. The next morning I gently cleansed my skin and applied a post peel pad to prep my skin for peeling. I then applied my moisturizer and sunscreen for the day. I repeated this step that night using just the pad and moisturizer. By the 3rd day my skin felt tight but I did not start to peel until that night. Most of the peeling happened on day 4 and 5 and was not painful at all. *The most important takeaway after having a *[*chemical peel*](/chemical-peel/)* is to leave the peeling skin alone! Do not pull or pick at the skin. Most importantly, by not pulling or picking you will have better results. * By day 6 my skin was back to normal with some light flaking near my hairline. I could not believe the amount of pigment that was removed by doing this peel. My skin felt and looked smooth, radiant and my acne completely cleared up! Overall this was an amazing treatment that I would highly recommend to anyone that is looking for fast results with dramatic changes; not only for problem skin but for aging prevention as well.

Botox can also be used for teeth grinding that causes pain around the jaw line. There are many people who wake in the morning after clenching all night, with headaches and pain. This is usually caused by the masseter muscle in the jaw line; dentists will recommend a night guard to prohibit grinding.

With Spring and Summer only a few "degrees" away from hot, it is time to improve the area below the neck and be ready to "show it off". Using Venus Freeze, [Ultherapy](/ultherapy/), [Botox](/botox/), and dermal fillers for the face and neck, we sometimes forget about the chest. Now there are things, we at the Blume Skin Centre, can do to improve that area. [Photofacial](/ipl-bbl-laser/), BBL, IPL to get rid of sun damage is a simple and relatively painless method to transform the décolleté. Additionally Pixel non-ablative treatments can smooth the skin. One of the most dramatic changes can be accomplished with [Sculptra](/dermal-fillers/). Sculptra, or PLLA, is a volumizer which is injected used to fill, lift, and smooth the skin. Mostly used on the face, advanced injectors have the skill to use this product elsewhere. With a few treatments, the wrinkling skin can be transformed to smooth skin by removing the crepe frequently found. This treatment can last up to two years. A short consult can easily tell you the results you may achieve using one or a combination of these treatments. Call for an appointment when you are ready for a consultation.

It has been months of planning, decision making and now suddenly I realize I need to do something to look my best for her special day. Thank goodness for Blume Skin and Body and their professional staff. It all begins with a free consultation to discuss treatment options. I am definitely in need of some lifting in my lower face and neck. Aging and gravity is the enemy of the over 50 crowd. The recommendation - [Ultherapy](/ultherapy/)! I was given all the information I needed to make my decision. [Ultherapy](/ultherapy/) uses focused ultra sound to lift and tighten loose skin. It's a non-invasive treatment with no downtime. The focused ultrasound pulse generates a thermal affect deep below the skin surface. This procedure stimulates the growth of new collagen over time. The final results are seen within two to six months depending on the individual. The actual treatment is about an hour, but expect to spend another 30 minutes numbing. The [Ultherapy](/ultherapy/) Laser Technician will apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment areas. [Dr. Blume](/about/meet-the-team/) or [Dr. Mary Romero](/about/meet-the-team/) can prescribe medication for comfort management for those who feel they need a little something beyond the numbing cream. I found the treatment to be not so bad. The pulses were quick and tolerable. I also believe the Laser Technician that gives the treatment is very important. I found it so helpful to be reassured and given information about what was coming next. Patience and professionalism goes a long way in keeping a patient calm and relaxed. I had my photo taken before the treatment and I am excited to have my after photos taken in a couple months to see my results. I feel confident that I will look my best for my daughter's wedding.

[Ultherapy](/ultherapy/) is a non-invasive procedure that employs ultrasound energy to lift and tighten the skin on the face, neck, chin, and brows. A wide range of skin issues can be treated with this procedure without much risk or need for lots of recovery time. Let's take a look at a few of the skin concerns that Ultherapy can be used to improve. ## Skin Issues Ultherapy May Help With ### Jowls Sagging skin around the jawline, commonly referred to as jowls, is a common issue as we age. With Ultherapy, you can tighten and lift the skin on the face, chin, and neck and reduce the appearance of that sagging skin without having to undergo a more invasive procedure. ### Marionette Lines Marionette lines are the wrinkles and lines that go from the corners of the lips down to the chin. By tightening the skin in this area and stimulating collagen growth using Ultherapy, you can reduce the appearance of these wrinkles and creases. ### Laugh or Smile Lines Technically called nasolabial folds, laugh or smile lines are the lines that form from the nose to the top corner of the lips. Because Ultherapy works to tighten and lift the skin on the face, it can also reduce the appearance of these lines as well. ### Neck Lines Neck lines can appear across the jawline and down the neck. Whether you're struggling with lines and wrinkles or sagging skin in this area, Ultherapy will tighten and lift the skin and stimulate collagen production to create a smooth and more youthful-looking appearance. ### Under The Eye Ultherapy is also gentle enough to work around the eyes as well. The treatment can tighten the area under the eyes and reduce the appearance of under-eye bags, crow's feet, and puffiness. Because there are no lasers involved, it's entirely safe to treat the skin on and around the eyes. ### Hooded Eyes Speaking of eyes, Ultherapy can also help open the eye and give it less of a tired or exhausted look. If people are constantly telling you that you look tired even when you get a good night's sleep, Ultherapy might be the perfect option for you. It can lift the eyelid, tighten sagging and excess skin, and give you a more refreshed look. ### Reduced Volume Losing volume in different parts of the face often comes with age and can give a hollow or sunken appearance. But Ultherapy can give you some of that volume back. Because Ultherapy triggers collagen production in the skin and collagen is what gives the face volume and firmness, the procedure can restore some of that volume to the face, tighten the skin, and give you an overall more youthful look. ## Schedule a Consultation Interested in learning more about Ultherapy now that you've seen all that it can do?

It’s been the go-to treatment for lifting and ### Content If you’ve ever looked into non-surgical [skin tightening](/ultherapy/), there’s a good chance you’ve heard of Ultherapy®. It’s been the go-to treatment for lifting and firming the face, neck, and chest without surgery. Now in 2025, a major upgrade has arrived: [Ultherapy](/ultherapy/) PRIME®. So what’s the difference between Ultherapy and Ultherapy PRIME®? And why is this new version making waves in the world of aesthetics? Whether you’ve tried the original Ultherapy in the past or you’re just starting your skin tightening journey, here’s everything you need to know about how Ultherapy PRIME is raising the bar and why Blume Skin & Body is the top choice for this cutting-edge treatment in Scottsdale. ## What Is Ultherapy? Ultherapy is an FDA-cleared treatment that uses microfocused ultrasound to lift and tighten the skin. It targets deep layers of tissue below the surface, stimulating collagen production where it matters most. Over time, this collagen rebuilds and strengthens the skin from within. It’s a favorite among patients who want a natural-looking lift without surgery. The original Ultherapy is known for its effectiveness, but for some, the experience could feel a little uncomfortable or time-consuming. That’s where Ultherapy PRIME comes in. ## Meet Ultherapy PRIME: The Next Generation of Non-Surgical Lifting [Ultherapy PRIME](/ultherapy/) is the latest evolution of Ultherapy technology, and it improves the patient experience across the board. It still uses ultrasound energy to tighten and lift skin, but it’s been enhanced with upgraded software and real-time imaging. This allows providers to see exactly where the energy is being delivered and adjust in real time for greater accuracy and comfort. Patients can now enjoy shorter treatment times, a more comfortable experience, and the same long-lasting results they’ve come to expect. Blume Skin & Body is proud to be one of the first practices in Arizona to offer Ultherapy PRIME. In fact, we’re a Center of Excellence for Merz/Ultherapy, and our team has trained providers across the country on this advanced technology. ## Ultherapy vs. Ultherapy PRIME: What’s the Difference? Here’s a quick side-by-side comparison to break it down: The bottom line? Ultherapy PRIME offers everything you love about Ultherapy with less discomfort, better precision, and faster treatment times. It’s a true upgrade—and not every provider has it. ## Why Patients Love Ultherapy PRIME With Ultherapy PRIME, you get all the benefits of traditional Ultherapy, along with some key improvements that make it more patient-friendly. **1. More Comfort:**Thanks to software enhancements and more precise energy delivery, the treatment feels smoother and more tolerable than ever before. **2. Shorter Sessions:**You’ll spend less time in the chair while still getting powerful collagen-boosting results. **3. Enhanced Results:**More accurate targeting helps providers focus the energy exactly where it’s needed, leading to even better contouring and lifting. **4. Long-Lasting Results:**You’ll continue to see improvement over 3 to 6 months, with results that last up to 1 to 3 years depending on your skin and aging process. ## Yes, That’s Selma Hayek If Ultherapy PRIME sounds familiar, you might have seen it featured in a recent national campaign starring actress Selma Hayek. The campaign brought renewed attention to the treatment’s ability to deliver natural-looking, non-surgical results. The message was clear: Ultherapy PRIME is for people who want to look refreshed, not “done,” and who value high-tech solutions for aging beautifully. At Blume, that’s exactly the kind of patient experience we strive to deliver every day. ## Why Blume Skin & Body Is Arizona’s Top Ultherapy PRIME Provider At Blume Skin & Body, we’re proud to be the number one provider of Ultherapy in Arizona and one of the first practices in the region to adopt the PRIME platform. Led by Sandra Caldwell, LSO, who has trained other providers on Ultherapy nationwide, our team brings deep expertise in facial anatomy, ultrasound technology, and natural rejuvenation.

Ultherapy is a noninvasive procedure for lifting and firming of ### Content I have had many consultations with patients that are very confused regarding [Ultherapy](/ultherapy/). Ultherapy is a noninvasive procedure for lifting and firming of the face, neck, brows and décolleté. **The Blume Skin Centre** has completed hundreds of successful treatments with great results. Why are there so many bad reviews regarding this treatment? Everyone wants to get rid of their sagging neck and loose jowls. I believe that some offices will automatically suggest Ultherapy, due to high price of the procedure, without qualifying the patient. During our initial consultation, it is very important to set realistic expectations and choose the correct procedure for each patient. The average full face and neck Ultherapy treatment takes over 800 lines of energy. That is 800 pulses of targeted ultrasound to each patient and the treatment takes over 90 minutes. This treatment is very operator dependent and skill plus experience matter. I have had patients tell me that their Ultherapy treatment from another office took less than 30 minutes for a full face treatment. I am shocked that some offices are cutting corners and not giving the patient the full amount of energy required to achieve the desired outcome. I answered the question why some patients are not satisfied with the Ultherapy treatment. **Please be cautious when choosing an office and Ultherapy technician.** At the **Blume Skin Centre** we have two excellent experienced technicians with certified advanced training.

Makeup and debris are easily swept away with the Valmont Bi-Falls and Icy Falls. Next, the Face Exfoliant and Prime Renewing Pack removes dead skin cells for a smoother complexion. Finally, the Bubble Falls, Vital Falls and Primary Veil are used to re-balance the skin's pH and strengthen the microbiome.

Please research your doctor ### Content The Liquid Lift can make a dramatic change in minutes, reversing the sagging tired look that seems to happen overnight. Please research your doctor carefully. The choice to start using a filler is only part of the equation. The technique in which it is used is more important. [Dr. Blume](/about/meet-the-team/) is a Master Injector, and an approved trainer for Allergan; the makers of [Botox](/botox/), [Juvederm](/dermal-fillers/) and [Voluma](/dermal-fillers/). Dr. Blume will evaluate your face and then determine which filler to use and the best places to inject. Voluma is composed of hyaluronic acid, a natural sugar that attracts and holds water. Consider [Voluma](/dermal-fillers/) Juvederm's big sister, it is thicker and gives much more "fill" and "high lifting". It is my new favorite because it does both! Dr. Blume's patients can expect to see lifting of the face and replenishment of youthful contours such as cheekbones, jawlines, chins and temples. Voluma adds volume and can also create contours. These fabulous results can last up to two years! I am thrilled with my liquid lift and love the long lasting results. Sandra Caldwell, Clinical Manager, The Blume Skin Centre.

They are approved specifically for those creases in and around the ### Content ### Dermal Fillers These skin supplements help to fill the deep wrinkles of the face. They are approved specifically for those creases in and around the mouth. In recent years, there has been so much experimentation with these substances that we now use them for a multitude of other areas. They can be used to enhance lips, cheeks, temples, and other areas. Some of the more common fillers include [Juvederm](/dermal-fillers/), Restylane, and [Radiesse](/radiesse/). The physical make-up and longevity of each [dermal filler](/injectables-overview/) are a little different, but it is safe to say that depending on where they are injected and the experience of the injector, these products can last for nine to 17 months. Some people metabolize (use them up) faster than others so they may not last as long. Dermal fillers should be used in conjunction with [Botox](/botox/) and similar substances in order to create the best outcome. Additionally, adding laser treatments also enhances the effect by treating the skin's texture and tightness. ### Do the injections hurt? Most patients say the injections don't hurt, or very little at all. The fillers we use at The Blume Skin Centre are mixed with xylocaine, a numbing medication that eases any discomfort. Additionally, we use a specially developed topical numbing cream for patient comfort. When the numbing combination wears off, there may be a little tenderness easily treated with Tylenol. ### What are the side effects I may expect? The most common side effects are redness, bruising, and swelling. There is the possibility of lumps or migration (moving) of material, but these are dramatically reduced with expert injectors treating patients. This is most commonly seen with new or inexperienced injectors. Allergic reactions are extremely rare and we have not seen any at The Blume Skin Centre or Parkway Medical before. All possible side effects are discussed with a patient prior to injections. ### Do I need to limit activities afterward? Following dermal filler injections it is not advisable to drink alcohol in excess or do any exercise. Either (especially the exercise) will lead to a greater chance of swelling. It is also recommended that no massage be performed in those areas for a few days at the minimum. For an excellent outcome, it is best to see an injector with a lot of experience. While Dr. Blume teaches at all levels, novice to experienced, he continues to attend courses regularly. That is how one increases knowledge and ability.

And how to pick the most effective treatment at Blume Skin & Body Oxygen facials are no stranger to the aesthetics industry. They claim to help improve blood circulation, which plumps the skin and makes it appear brighter. Fight acne, and accelerate wound healing, as well as kill certain bacteria. But are Oxygen Facials just another "hype" treatment? There are the machines that blow air "into" the pores. Glass oxygen domes that sit around the head. Topical masks that claim to bring oxygen to the skin. Needless to say, there is a lot on the market in terms of "Oxygen Facials". One treatment that stands out, is the Oxygeneo/Geneo Facial and is available at Blume Skin & Body. The Oxygeneo/ Geneo facial is a non-invasive treatment that is suitable for all skin types. Its unique oxygenation technology helps trigger the body's natural, physiological process of producing oxygen. Oxygen is then carried to the surface of the skin. The elevated levels of oxygen prepare the skin to absorb key nutrients throughout the rest of the facial treatment. This process increases oxygen levels internally within skin. Not just putting oxygen around the skin, in hopes that it will penetrate. After the oxygenation and exfoliation process is complete, a blend of active ingredients are infused into the skin during an ultrasound and neo-massage step. This allows for maximum skin hydration and pure nourishment. As you already know, all Blume Skin treatments are 100% customizable. Even the Oxygeneo/Geneo Facial! Each and every Oxygeneo/ Geneo facial is geared towards specific skincare needs and goals. 100% natural ingredients like red algae, charcoal, & vitamin C, are calculated to achieve individual skincare goals. Natural sources of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants will improve the skin's overall health and appearance. This is always our #1 priority. The Geneo Facial has it all. Detox, Hydrate, Illuminate, Balance and Revive. There truly is a Geneo facial for everyone! Geneo Detox: Prevents and reduces damaged cells with the help of anti-inflammatory properties. These modalities help to soothe and relax the skin. So much of the irritation and redness are caused by external allergens, environmental stressors and free radicals. Geneo Hydrate: Gentle exfoliation ingredients along with vitamins helps to improve the skin's texture, tone and clarity. Natural ingredients in their dormant state helps to improve the skin's moisture retention. This process enhances hydration and firmness. Microcirculation is stimulated as well as collagen synthesis, which leads to an improved metabolism of the skin. Geneo Illuminate: Vitamin C and Kojic Acid will aid in reducing and inhibiting hyperpigmentation caused by sun damage and standard aging. By unifying the skins tone, a more even skin tone and texture will shine through. Geneo Balance: Removes impurities by a proprietary blend of charcoal and a variety of acids to detoxify the skin by removing dirt and build up. The anti-bacterial ingredients help to treat and fight acne from reoccurring. Antioxidants help refine pore size as well as promote collagen stimulation while balancing oil production. Geneo Revive: Ferulic Acid and Retinyl Palmitate helps to improve the skins elasticity, resulting in a smoother more sleek appearance. While reducing fine lines and diminishing the signs of aging, the naturally derived ingredients help to even out the skin tone and reduces sun damage. Rather than falling for a fad oxygen treatment with little to no objective. It only makes sense to trust the science. The science of Oxygeneo/Geneo is first class. Like anything, choosing an aesthetic treatment should be based on the science and the strategy of the treatment. Covering your head with a glass dome pumping with air or "pushing" oxygen onto the skin with an airbrush tool doesn't quite have the scientific backbone to warrant any type of result. The Oxygeneo/Geneo Facial has the capability to produce an instant gratification and long lasting results speaks for itself!

We use a new state of the art Sciton Joule, Broadband Light system that sets industry standards for targeting and destroying the hair follicle. We offer a series of six treatments in our hair removal packages. Depending on the area of the body, the patient returns every 4 to 6 weeks to retreat the area. The Blume Skin Centre always uses ultrasound gel on the skin to protect the patient from being burned and the patient is always post-cooled with a zimmer (Cold Air) to aid in comfort and prevent overheating of the epidermis. Our system is effective and we have had excellent results with patients being hair-free in six to nine months. The question I get asked most frequently is- Have you seen that $99 laser hair removal offer from an online coupon group? How can a laser center offer hair removal so cheap? Is it effective? I have done research into this phenomenon. I discovered that you are required to sign up for an eighteen month contract with a monthly fee. Why does it take eighteen months to work? The $99 dollars is only for six months; the laser center charges the standard fee for the remaining twelve months. The centers that I called do not use ultrasound gel or an air cooler to protect your skin. Everyone would love to have smooth, soft and hair free skin. Please do your research and beware of those deals that are too good to be true.

Pollogen calls the treatment Voluderm™ to reduce the signs of aging and regenerate your skin. I had my first treatment on Friday, July 17 in the morning. Caitlin Sixbey, Lead Laser Techinician, performed my treatment. See my photo of the actual treatment. The treatment was fast, did not hurt and I had no down time. I also had Caitlin draw my blood for my own Protien Rich Plasma (PRT) to help with cell turnover and quicken my recovery time. After the treatment I was red, like I a sunburn. I worked the rest of the day and when I left for home I was only a little red and was able to wear Oxygenetix™ , our Oxygenating Foundation. My husband and I went out for dinner and he didn't notice that I had a treatment. **The day after the treatment** (see photo), I had a few tiny crusts and mild redness. My skin felt firm and tight. On Monday, I was back to work and my skin was glowing. The VoluDerm™, Radio Frequency Microneedling, tip uses fine micro-pins and radio frequency technology to trigger the body's natural healing response mechanism. This stimulates the body to naturally produce hyaluronic acid, new collagen and elastin. VoluDerm™ treatments result in long-term wrinkle reduction, skin resurfacing and facial lifting effect leaving your skin tighter, firmer and refreshed. My pore size is smaller and my overall texture is improved. The treatment took about an hour and I plan to have a second treatment in four weeks' time. **The Blume Skin Centre **has the [VoluDerm™ treatment on special for $400 for July and August 2015](/resources/specials/). ### Call the office to book an appointment , (480) 699-7999.

And on the other hand I had women stating "Oh I'll start that when I'm in my 40's, I'm too young for that, injections are for when you get older, I'll start using an eye cream when I'm older." And to sum up these statements, its never too early to care for your skin PERIOD! Like anything, caring for your skin looks different for everyone, because everyone's skin is different and everyone's goals are different. Base line care for everyone's skin should, however, be the same. Using appropriate skincare products to cleanse, moisturize, treat/repair, protect against sun damage (SPF), and eye cream. Does it have to be a lavish 286 step routine? No way! But caring for your skin should start at a young age. ### Baseline Preventative Skincare Routine: Examples of great staple products are: [Epionce](/epionce/) Milky Lotion Cleanser [Elta MD](/eltamd/) Clear SPF [Neocutis](/neocutis/) Lumiere [Epionce](/epionce/) Renewal Facial Moisturizer [Neocutis](/neocutis/) Bio Serum [Neocutis](/neocutis/) Nouvelle We've all read the stats. People start losing collagen in our 20's. Our elasticity decreases as we enter our 30's. Our body decreases production of hyaluronic acid as we enter our 40's. So with that being said, preventative care should start in our 20's. ### How to create the Best Skincare Routine for You Like I mentioned before, establishing a proper at-home skincare is key, and that looks different for everyone. If you are one that has been blessed without having any skin issues, using "any old skincare" isn't helping you in the long run. Start by establishing a relationship with a licensed medical aesthetician to receive the proper care in regards to maintaining your healthy skin through preventative treatments such as [Hydrafacial](/hydrafacial/), [Microdermabrasion](/dermasweep-md/) and [BBL](/ipl-bbl-laser/) to name a few as well as the correct skincare routine. #### Why Preventative Skincare is Important What happens when we don't take the right action in preventative skin care over the years? Let's paint a picture. Like many of us in our younger years, sunscreen was just not a "thing". So by not protecting our skin from the UV rays at a young age, that creates sun damage that has accumulated over time. Every sunburn we have received at a young age damages the skin on a cellular level. Not necessarily visible to the naked eye. That damage lays dormant in the skin for years. As we get older, we will start to notice hyperpigmentation start to pop up over time. Even existing hyperpigmentation or freckles may appear bigger or darker. Does this sound familiar? Looking in the mirror one day "Huh, that wasn't there last week." Or "Well that looks bigger/darker". That is due to the damage our skin endured during our younger years. With that being said, correcting these concerns will be extensive, from a cosmetic stand point and a medical stand point. Making sure that the damage doesn't become precancerous or turn into skin cancer is vital for our health. The same applies to other aspects of skin. Not using an eye cream for years and years, and then finally getting on the bandwagon trying to "erase" years of untreated fine lines. Even not using a moisturizer can dry the skin and cause the oil glands to over produce to "make" moisture, which will just sit under the skin and cause shine, clogged pores and acne. There are studies that show receiving [Botox](/botox/) or a form of toxin in your 20's can slow down the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This is 100% true. The best way I like to explain how this works is take 2 pieces of paper and fold them in half. Unfold one and rub the crease until its faded and set that one aside, that one is the "Botox paper". By stopping the folding, that line won't get deeper over time since the folding has stopped. Just like getting Botox and freezing those muscles to stop making those similar movements creating lines. Take the other piece of paper and keep folding it over and over. That's the movement you've made over and over creating creases that get deeper and deeper over time. Those creases will take longer to fade once you start getting Botox. The preventative care of your skin starts with simple acts of care. Skin is not a one-size-fits-all.

One such innovative ### Content In the quest to maintain youthful and vibrant skin, modern technology and skincare advancements have provided us with various options. One such innovative procedure is [SkinTyte](/sciton-skintyte/), a non-invasive treatment redefining the realm of skin rejuvenation. At Blume Skin & Body in Scottsdale, AZ, we harness the power of SkinTyte to restore and maintain your skin's health and appearance. ## What is SkinTyte? SkinTyte is a cutting-edge, non-surgical procedure offered by Sciton that uses broadband light technology to heat the deep layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production, leading to contraction and subsequent remodeling. It causes partial denaturation that triggers the body's natural healing mechanism, thereby initiating the process of collagen regeneration. This revolutionary approach to skin health promotes skin tightening, resulting in a rejuvenated appearance that exudes youthfulness. The procedure is painless, with a cooling mechanism to keep the skin's surface safe. It typically requires a series of treatments, with no downtime, allowing patients to immediately return to their normal activities. ## What Does SkinTyte Treat? SkinTyte is an incredibly versatile procedure that effectively treats many skin concerns. Primarily, it is a potent weapon against sagging skin, enhancing its elasticity and providing a firmer look. This versatile treatment can also be applied to virtually any area of the body that requires tightening, including the face, neck, abdomen, arms, and hands. It also significantly reduces the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles, acting as an excellent anti-aging treatment. Its capacity to target areas of mild to moderate skin laxity makes it an ideal solution for those who want to regain their skin's firmness without resorting to invasive surgical procedures. ## Who is a Candidate for SkinTyte? One of the most significant advantages of SkinTyte is its suitability for a wide range of individuals. Regardless of your skin type or color, if you're looking to enhance the health and appearance of your skin, SkinTyte could be an excellent option. Here are some key considerations to determine if this is the right treatment for you: ### Age-Related Skin Laxity As we age, collagen production diminishes, leading to decreased skin elasticity and subsequent sagging. For individuals seeking to reverse these signs of aging and regain their skin's youthful bounce, SkinTyte provides an effective solution. ### Post-Pregnancy Skin Looseness Pregnancy often leaves behind loose skin, especially around the abdomen. For women hoping to reclaim their pre-pregnancy body contours, SkinTyte offers a non-surgical method of skin tightening, helping restore firmness and elasticity. ### Early Signs of Aging Individuals beginning to notice the early signs of aging, such as minor wrinkles and decreased skin elasticity, can also greatly benefit from SkinTyte. By promoting collagen production, SkinTyte helps delay and counteract aging effects, ensuring the skin remains firm and resilient. ### Post-Weight Loss Skin Elasticity Concerns Significant weight loss is often accompanied by saggy, excess skin due to the rapid shrinkage of body volume. SkinTyte can address these concerns, assisting in skin contraction and tightening to enhance body contours. ## SkinTyte Results Patients can expect noticeable improvements in skin firmness, texture, and overall appearance following SkinTyte treatments. The procedure generates both immediate and long-term results. While some firming effects may be noticeable directly after treatment, the most significant outcomes appear over the following months as the body's collagen remodeling process progresses. SkinTyte can give you a natural, revitalized look, providing subtle enhancement without the stark contrast of surgical procedures. ## Schedule a Consultation At [Blume Skin & Body](/), we aim to provide transformative, personalized aesthetic treatments that boost your confidence and enhance your natural beauty.

Ultherapy is a ### Content As your skin ages, wrinkles and sagginess are all too common and this causes many people to feel self-conscious about their appearance. [Ultherapy](/ultherapy/) is a non-invasive facelift alternative that can help many people restore their youthful appearance with natural rejuvenation. Rather than using incisions and invasive techniques, [Ultherapy](/ultherapy/) stimulates the skin to heal and rejuvenate itself with long-lasting results. Whether seeking the treatment on its own or combining its benefits with other non-invasive procedures, Ultherapy is a staple in many people's skincare rejuvenation routines. **What is Ultherapy?** Ultherapy is an FDA-approved treatment that stimulates the production of new collagen and remodels preexisting collagen. It does this by penetrating all three layers of skin with focused ultrasonic energy that heats the deep tissues and triggers your body's healing response. The regeneration of collagen creates a lifting and tightening effect to improve sagging skin and wrinkles. This offers long-lasting effects lasting anywhere from a year to three years. Within six months of your treatment, your skin will have increased collagen production. Most people will not need to return for another treatment for at least a year or even three years! You can maintain your youthful, rejuvenated appearance by wearing sunscreen and moisturizing your skin with quality skincare products. **The Ideal Candidate for Ultherapy** Anyone looking for a non-invasive treatment for sagging skin, wrinkles, and volume loss can enjoy Ultherapy! Ultherapy is best for patients in their 40s - 60's who have decent skin quality with skin laxity or sagging but there is no upper age limit for receiving the treatment. Older patients may have more damage to correct but they can still benefit from Ultherapy, although results will vary. It's ideal to begin early since you will not be able to make as much collagen and elastin on your own as you age. If you need a dramatic quick result, try the [3D Collagen Boost](/3d-collagen-boost/) which utilizes three collagen building treatments. [Radiesse](/injectables-overview/) is the only structural filler and biostimulator that gives a structural lift immediately, while stimulating the body's natural collagen production. Some of the patients we encounter are curious about their non-surgical options. Others have already undergone procedures like a facelift and want to touch up their results. Ultherapy is great for both types of treatment but it is important to remember that the effects of this treatment won't be as immediate as those of surgery. Ultherapy stimulates natural collagen production which takes time but this gradual improvement is sometimes preferred since it creates natural-looking results. The natural stimulation of collagen production also means that there is no risk of an allergic or adverse reaction. **Schedule a Consultation** Ultherapy treatments will help you look younger and feel great. At Blume Skin & Body, we have certified advanced ultherapy technicians who have received extensive training to give you the best treatment with the best possible results.

There are many factors that cause dry flakey skin, but thankfully there are ways to treat it. Our skin tends to be drier in the winter months because there is less humidity in the cold winter air and harsh breezes on windy days. To stay warm and cozy, we are exposed to dry heat in our homes and offices, and take hot showers and baths. This inevitably dries out our skin even more. (Ahh, just explaining this makes me want to grab moisturizer!) Not to mention, those delectable lattes and mochas [](https://influx-site-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/blumeskintreatment.com/blog/neocutis-300x110.jpg)we all crave in the winter are extremely dehydrating because caffeine dries our skin from the inside. We also drink less water as we are not overly thirsty. So what can we do about this winter dry skin? - Begin with a gentle cleanser - no harsh soaps like a bar soap. Exfoliating helps with flakey skin but again use mild scrubs with microbeads. - It is important to use moisturizers that contain emollients like shea butter, safflower seed oil and serums with humectants or hyaluronic acid which actually attracts water from the environment into the skin. - The use of a humidifier at night in the winter also helps to keep moisture in the air and in your skin. - Try to drink more water. Hydrate! - Make an appointment for a [**Medical Grade Facial**](/medical-grade-facials/). Aestheticians will properly access your skin and give you a personalized skin care routine to fight the winter skin blues. The **Blume Skin & Body** has the highest quality products and services to help you achieve beautiful skin all year round.

Something I have heard throughout my ENTIRE career. Find out how Blume Skin & Body can help you manage your sensitive skin. ### Content How to Deal With Sensitive Skin Sensitive skin is so common. Something I have heard throughout my ENTIRE career. "My skin is so sensitive", "I'm scared to try new products because my skin is so sensitive", "I can only use ____ because my skin is so sensitive". The question is, what are the common denominators? - What products are you using? - Are you exfoliating too much? - Are you using a scrub on your face frequently? - Are you using products designed for acne prone skin? - Are you moisturizing enough? All of these factors play a huge role in our skin's sensitivity. ### Is your Skin Sensitive or Reactive? But let's get technical. There's a difference between sensitive skin and reactive skin. Reactive skin is when the skin develops a reaction to a product, treatment or something environmental. This can cause a variety of issues like an allergic reaction, contact dermatitis, eczema, or a rosacea flare. Resulting in a trip to the dermatologist for a treatment plan. Sensitive skin typically shows itself as slight erythema and stinging. But the main reason clients are so quick to mention they have sensitive skin is be cause they break out easily. Therefore, they think that the breakouts are due to their skin being sensitive to products and treatments. The good news is, that's not the case! There are several factors to why someone is breaking out, but its not because they're sensitive! The bullet points I mentioned above are major components to mending the reaction you are experiencing and helping to prevent it as well. If you're using skincare products that are too drying or designed for acne prone skin, chances are you're drying your skin too much; creating a thin layer of dead dry skin on the very surface of the epidermis. Sometimes you can feel the layer, other times it's nearly invisible to the naked eye. That dead layer then creates tiny microscopic tears in the skin making it a dance floor for products and skin treatments to cause redness and stinging. As I mentioned earlier, many clients will state their frustrations about breaking out due to many of the bullet points above. Which they identify these issues as sensitivity. Remember that tiny dead layer of skin that's just sitting on top of the skin? Well your oil is still going to secrete microscopically, but it will do so very slowly because the layer of dead skin is preventing it from secreting properly. That will then develop into extreme shine. Slick looking skin before the lunch hour anyone? This could be a reason why! If only a greasy face is where it ended. Unfortunately its not. That sebum that's trapped under the dead skin will then start causing clogged pores, that will then develop into full blown breakouts. You're probably thinking, wait, I thought we were talking about sensitive skin. We are! All of the things I mentioned, dry skin, excess oil, clogged pores, and acne are all skin issues that are causes by the same common denominator. Which is then misdiagnosed by the public as sensitive skin. ### How to Fix Skin Concerns So how do we fix this? Its actually so easy! Scheduling an appointment with our licensed medical aestheticians to develop a customized treatment plan, which includes prioritizing an at-home skincare routine specifically for your skin type and needs. A retinol and hyaluronic acid incorporated into your routine can help dramatically. Keeping the dead skin under control as well as a hyaluronic acid to deeply hydrate. [Neocutis](/neocutis/) Nouvelle+ and [Neocutis](/neocutis/) Hyalis+ are the perfect pair. Also, scheduling a series of facials to help exfoliate that dead skin, extract the clogged pores and treat the acne, and moisturize! The [Hydrafacial](/hydrafacial/) is great for all skin types! From that point on, to maintain your results from the facial and your new at-home skincare routine is getting a microdermabrasion. [Microdermabrasions](/dermasweep-md/) are great for keeping the thickened epidermis under control so that it doesn't cause any more problems like the ones I mentioned above. Why can't I just get a few [microdermabrasions](/dermasweep-md/) you might be wondering. Getting a [microdermabrasion](/dermasweep-md/) with active acne is not only painful, but it can spread the bacteria from the existing breakouts causing new ones. So making sure the acne is taken care of properly and making sure the bacteria is killed is crucial. So in the end the client's "sensitive" skin will be no more. Because it's not actually sensitive. It was dry, off-balanced, dehydrated and irritated. So if you find yourself thinking, "I can't do _____ because my skin is too sensitive", let our team of experts rebalance your skin so that you don't have those reactions over and over - keeping you from having the best skin of your life![](/blog/why-is-my-skin-so-sensitive/) [](/services/) [](/blog/why-is-my-skin-so-sensitive/) [](/blog/why-is-my-skin-so-sensitive/) [.button.overview_button][Back To Overview](/blog/)[] [Previous Post](/blog/2021-new-beauty-awards/) --- ## Why I switched my makeup **Link:** [Why I switched my makeup](https://blumeskintreatment.com/blog/why-i-switched-my-makeup/) ([md](https://blumeskintreatment.com/blog/why-i-switched-my-makeup/index.html.md)) **Description:** I've been getting facials, botox, photofacials and injections at Blume Skin & Body for many years.

I also use many of the amazing skin care products they sell - [NeoCutis](/neocutis/), [EltaMD](/eltamd/) and [Epionce](/epionce/). Basically, I spend a lot of time and money to make sure my skin looks good. If you're reading this blog, I'm sure healthy skin is important to you too! I used to get frustrated because after treatments I would start wearing my super heavy makeup - foundation, concealer, powder, bronzer, and blush. My face was always photo/instagram ready, but at the end of the day my skin looked icky! My pores looked bigger, my skin was dull and dehydrated and I could feel the makeup seeping into my pores and clogging them. Why was I spending so much money and time on procedures and healthy skin care products, but not on "healthy" makeup? I discovered two amazing brands at Blume Skin & Body that have changed my life - [Oxygenetix foundation](/oxygenetix/) and [Colorescience](/colorescience/) under eye cream and SPF brush! [Oxygenetix](/oxygenetix/) is lightweight and controls my acne! It heals my skin and most importantly it's breathable. It covers and treats a wide variety of skin problems: skin injuries, wounds, rashes, cracked, dry skin, acne scars, rosacea and other skin conditions. My skin feels glowing when I use this foundation. Plus, it's buildable to hide dark spots and scars. For my eyes I use [Colorescience Total Eye 3-in-1 Renewal Therapy SPF 35. ](/colorescience/) It improve the appearance of [dark circles](/chemical-peel/), puffiness, fine lines, and wrinkles while protecting the eye area against photoaging. It also has 100% SPF 35 mineral sunscreen. Also, from [Colorescience](/colorescience/), I use the [Sunforgettable Total Protection Brush-on Shield SPF](/colorescience/). I brush it on in the morning and throughout the day to give my skin sun protection. This is a great product because it won't mess up your makeup like traditional sunscreen. You can just pop the brush in your purse and use it anytime during the day. Super easy and simple! After using these products I noticed a complete change in my skin. It makes sense - I'm using healthy dermatologist approved makeup to benefit my skin not just to cover.

Almost anyone with good hands can be taught to inject. The difference comes in the technique and the technique comes from knowing and understanding the anatomy. How muscles and nerves work as well as understanding the layers and anatomy of the skin is important. To have seen the inside of a body and attachments of skin, muscle and bone when injecting is like a sports star picturing where the ball will go when hit or thrown. It's called visualization and It becomes innate after having been through school and seeing these things first hand. Secondly, a great injector will know how to fix and deal with problems. For example, it is not uncommon to have a patient get light headed during injections. While not serious, it needs to be attended to with quick thinking and actions. If it is not recognized and treated there is an increased risk of syncope (passing out) or worse. Understanding the upside AND the risks helps to avoid an unpleasant experience. So, you may not be able to avoid side effects, but the injector must recognize them and know what to do in each case.

The Blume Skin Centre gives the following information to all patients before they leave the office. Post care instructions for lips after dermal fillers: - Similar to a dentist visit, your lips will feel numb and very large, this is completely normal. Due to the vascularity of the oral area, lips usually swell immediately after they've been injected. The material used to help with initial pain contains lidocaine and will wear off within 2 hours. - Bruising is a common side effect. The bruising is temporary and will not last long. - Swelling is expected and can last a few hours to a few days. Don't worry, the swelling will decrease!

The procedure can also help camouflage minor deformities such as a dorsal hump. An ideal candidate for a liquid rhinoplasty is someone who has minor cosmetic deformities of the nose and is seeking a non-surgical alternative to surgical rhinoplasty. The procedure is not recommended for people who want to reduce the overall size of their nose, previously had a traditional rhinoplasty, or those wanting to fix structural issues, such as a deviated septum. #### Liquid Rhinoplasty Benefits - Instant Results - Minimally Invasive - Short Recovery - Lower Cost - Reversible - Lift droopy nasal tip - Improve nasal bumps or deformities [Contact Us](https://blumeskinandbody.zenoti.com/webstoreNew/services?utm_source=7c5106fe25d94f3b9d7c4da38857690d) #### What to Expect with Liquid Rhinoplasty Before a **Scottsdale liquid rhinoplasty**, you should stop taking blood thinners for one week and avoid alcohol the night before treatment. You should not take any antibiotics or have vaccines or dental work for 2 weeks before your appointment. Make sure to eat and be well-hydrated before your appointment. At the start of your procedure, a topical numbing cream is applied to the skin for 15-20 minutes prior to treatment. Once you are numbed, your injector will strategically inject the dermal filler with a small syringe into various points of the nose. Arnicare cream is applied after to help with swelling and inflammation. #### Liquid Rhinoplasty Results and Recovery The treatment area may be mildly swollen, bruised, red, and tender for the first couple of days after a liquid rhinoplasty. Your nose may also appear bigger due to swelling but this is temporary. You should wait to apply makeup for 24 hours and avoid strenuous activity, sun exposure, and intense heat for 72 hours since this can increase bleeding. Make sure not to take blood-thinning medications like aspirin or ibuprofen since these can increase bruising and recovery time. If you have severe pain, blurred vision, bruising that gets worse, or signs of an allergic reaction, please call our office immediately. However, the *possible complications after a liquid rhinoplasty procedure are much lower than the possible risks of rhinoplasty surgery*. Liquid rhinoplasty is completed in two sessions spaced 4 weeks apart. The time between appointments gives the filler the opportunity to settle within the tissue. At the follow-up appointment, minor adjustments can be made if needed for optimal results. Results typically last 9-12 months and can be maintained with additional treatment sessions. #### Schedule a Scottsdale Liquid Rhinoplasty Consultation To determine whether you are a candidate for a **liquid rhinoplasty**, [schedule a consultation](/consultation/) today at Blume Skin & Body. Our expert injectors will examine your nose and discuss your desired results to determine the best treatment for your individual cosmetic goals. #### What Our Clients Say *Patient Testimonials* [Read Reviews](/testimonials/) --- ## Notice To Patients Open Payments Database **Link:** [Notice To Patients Open Payments Database](https://blumeskintreatment.com/open-payment-database-notice/) ([md](https://blumeskintreatment.com/open-payment-database-notice/index.html.md)) **Description:** Open Payments Database ### Content For informational purposes only, a link to the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Open Payments web page is provided here.

At Blume Skin & Body, our preventative aging approach empowers you to take control of your skin’s future, addressing the earliest signs of aging before they become significant concerns. #### The Science of Preventative Aging The philosophy behind preventative aging is simple yet revolutionary: address the biological processes of aging at their earliest stages rather than trying to reverse established damage. Research shows that collagen production begins to decline at approximately 1% per year starting in our mid-20s, while environmental factors like UV radiation accelerate this process. By implementing preventative treatments early, we can maintain youthful skin architecture, preserving elasticity and radiance for years to come. #### Why Prevention is Important - Maintain existing collagen and elastin structures - Requires less intensive interventions - Provide more natural-looking, long-term results - Involve less downtime and fewer side effects - Create a foundation for graceful aging throughout life - Maintain existing collagen and elastin structures - Requires less intensive interventions - Provide more natural-looking, long-term results - Involve less downtime and fewer side effects - Create a foundation for graceful aging throughout life [Contact Us](https://blumeskinandbody.zenoti.com/webstoreNew/services?utm_source=7c5106fe25d94f3b9d7c4da38857690d) #### Our Comprehensive Preventative Aging Treatments #### Preventative Botox: #### Radiesse Collagen Stimulating Filler: #### Microneedling: #### Ultherapy: #### Photofacials: #### Proper Skin Care: #### NAD+: By addressing aging at the cellular level, NAD+ supplementation complements our topical and injectable treatments for a comprehensive approach to preventative aging. #### BioRewind by SkinBetter: *Targeting Glycation for Youthful Skin* BioRewind is a breakthrough skin health dietary supplement that addresses a primary driver of skin aging: glycation. This process leads to the formation of Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs), which damage essential proteins like collagen and elastin. BioRewind’s exclusive technology featuring Rosmarinic Acid and synergistic antioxidants has been clinically proven to help reverse glycation and reduce AGE formation. In clinical testing, patients experienced significant improvements in just 8 weeks: - 12% reduction in skin redness - 28% reduction in skin dullness - 30% reduction in rough skin texture This innovative supplement complements our in-office treatments by addressing the biochemical processes of aging from within. #### Creating Your Personalized Preventative Aging Strategy At Blume Skin & Body, we recognize that each person’s skin is unique, with different concerns and aging patterns. Our experts will create a customized preventative aging plan that combines the most effective treatments for your specific needs. Many patients benefit from a strategic combination of treatments, such as: - Preventative Botox to address dynamic wrinkles - Radiesse to stimulate collagen in areas prone to volume loss - Microneedling to improve overall skin texture and quality - Ultherapy to maintain facial contours - Supported by medical-grade skincare and supplements #### Invest in Your Skin’s Future Preventative aging isn’t about trying to look unnaturally young—it’s about preserving your natural beauty and maintaining healthy, vibrant skin throughout your life. By taking proactive steps now, you can significantly influence how your skin ages in the coming decades. At Blume Skin & Body, our award-winning team of aesthetic professionals is dedicated to helping you achieve your skin health goals through personalized, science-backed treatments in a luxurious spa environment.

As part of the natural aging process, collagen and elastin gradually break down, leading to loose skin, sagging, and a loss of youthful definition in the face, neck, chest, upper arms, and abdomen. If you’re noticing sagging skin, fine lines, or loss of contour but want to avoid surgery, *Ultherapy PRIME® offers natural-looking results with minimal downtime*. This FDA-cleared medical procedure is the only non-invasive procedure proven to lift skin on the face, neck, décolletage, upper arms, and abdomen. With just one treatment, most patients enjoy a clinically significant lift and a more youthful appearance without downtime. #### The Science of Collagen and Skin Renewal *WHAT IS ULTHERAPY PRIME®?* Ultherapy PRIME® is the latest generation of Ultherapy technology, delivering focused ultrasound energy deeper, faster, and more comfortably than ever before. It’s the only FDA-cleared treatment to non-invasively lift and tighten skin on the brow, jawline, neck, and under the chin, while also smoothing lines on the décolletage, upper arms, and abdomen. Unlike lasers or radiofrequency treatments, Ultherapy PRIME® bypasses the surface of the skin and uses microfocused ultrasound to stimulate your body’s own collagen production from within. There are no needles, no downtime, and the results are long-lasting. This customized treatment is ideal for patients seeking to improve sagging skin, restore firmness, and achieve skin rejuvenation without incisions, downtime, or disrupting daily life. Blume has served as a Center of Excellence Training site for Merz/Ultherapy and is one of the few practices in the region offering Ultherapy PRIME®, the upgraded platform recently featured in a national campaign with Salma Hayek. #### A Sound Way to Build Collagen *What to Expect During Ultherapy Treatment* Your treatment begins with a [consultation](/consultation/) to review your goals and medical history, and to determine the ideal areas to target. During the procedure, a smooth ultrasound applicator is applied to the skin with ultrasound gel. Real-time imaging allows your provider to deliver precise energy to the optimal depth, triggering new collagen where it matters most. Most patients feel a warming or tingling sensation, but discomfort is minimal (especially with Ultherapy PRIME®’s enhanced comfort software). Using advanced **ultrasound techniques**, energy is delivered with precision to the deeper layers of the skin. Patients may feel a **tingling sensation** or mild heat, a sign that the collagen-building process is being stimulated. Most patients return to their **normal activities** right away, with no need for protective clothing or extended downtime. #### Addressing Aging Skin (Without Surgery) *What Conditions and Areas Does Ultherapy Treat?* Ultherapy Prime is especially effective for patients who want a *gradually lifted, more youthful appearance* without surgery. With this brand of **Ultherapy** Scottsdale area patients can get it used on areas where *skin laxity* is most noticeable, including: #### Real Improvements, No Downtime *What Are the Benefits of Ultherapy?* Benefits of **Ultherapy Prime** include: - Non-invasive **skin tightening** with no incisions or downtime - Targets loose skin on the face, neck, chest, upper arms, and abdomen - Stimulates the **collagen-building process **and elastin production - Achieves a **clinically significant lift** with **just one treatment** - Contours the jawline and smooths crepey skin - Treats hard-to-reach areas like under the chin and brow - Faster and more comfortable than original Ultherapy - Results that last 1 to 3 years - Safe for all skin types - Complements other **skin rejuvenation** treatments [Contact us](https://blumeskintreatment.com/contact-us) #### Safe, Effective, Customized Care *Who is a Candidate for Ultherapy?* Ultherapy PRIME® is ideal for: - Adults with mild to moderate skin laxity - Those looking to lift and firm the face or neck without surgery - Patients who want a natural-looking refresh - All skin tones and types Most patients are in their 30s to 60s. However, **Ultherapy PRIME® is a great option for anyone experiencing early signs of aging** or looking to maintain facial structure with a preventative “prejuvenation” approach. Ideal candidates for ultherapy are those seeking treatment for moderate skin laxity. Most patients are looking to tighten loose skin on the face, neck, and body without having to undergo surgical cosmetic procedures. Ultherapy is ideal for all skin types and tones and is a comfortable treatment. Candidates should be in good overall health and should maintain realistic expectations regarding the outcomes of the procedure. #### The Sound Of Confidence *Ultherapy Prime® Results and Recovery* After the Ultherapy Prime® *laser skin tightening procedure*, slight redness is common for about one hour, and some patients experience mild swelling and bruising. Fortunately, recovery time is short, and this will begin to fade in a few days. Since **Ultherapy® works by stimulating collagen production**, results take time to develop – gradual tightening will improve over 3-6 months. You’ll notice: - Firmer, tighter skin - A more defined jawline - Smoother neck and chest - A lifted, refreshed appearance **Skin rejuvenation results last for one to three years**, and even as your skin continues to age, it will still have new, healthy collagen. To prolong results and enhance the skin’s surface, patients should avoid excessive sun exposure before and after their Ultherapy Prime Treatment. *“Had the Ultherapy treatment on my neck with Sandra. Can't wait to see the results. As an aside, I had been to my Primary Care Dr and told her I was having it done - she looked it up and read some reviews saying how much it hurt (also said her dermatologists just had it done) and wanted me to let her know. So, of course, I then was a bit worried BUT Sandra put me at ease and it was NOT painful. I have to say Blume Skin Centre and Sandra does everything possible to make any and all treatments pleasureable. I will tell my Dr to go to Sandra at Blume Skin and NOT who her dermatologist went to!”* - Jan B. #### Schedule a Consultation *Why Choose Blume for Ultherapy PRIME®?* Blume Skin & Body is **Arizona’s top provider of Ultherapy** and one of the first practices in the region to adopt Ultherapy PRIME®.

Non-surgical dermal fillers for natural results. ### Content #### Sculpt. Smooth. Enhance. *Facial Fillers at Blume Skin and Body* As we age, our skin naturally loses volume, elasticity, and hydration. These changes can lead to facial wrinkles, folds, and a tired or aged appearance. At Blume Skin and Body in Scottsdale, we offer a wide range of advanced **facial fillers** and [injectables](https://blumeskintreatment.com/services/injectables/) designed to restore volume, smooth lines, and enhance your natural features for a refreshed, youthful look. Using FDA-approved cosmetic injectables such as Juvéderm and Radiesse, our providers customize every treatment to your unique needs, ensuring subtle, natural-looking results. Whether you want to soften smile lines, refine jawline definition, or add fullness with lip augmentation, facial fillers are a versatile solution for patients seeking non-surgical rejuvenation. #### What Filler Really Does *What Are Facial Fillers?* **Facial fillers**, also known as dermal fillers, are injectable treatments designed to *restore lost volume, enhance facial contours, and improve overall skin smoothness*. Dermal fillers like [**Juvéderm**](/dermal-fillers/) are made with hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the human body that attracts and retains moisture to create plump, hydrated skin. Other fillers, like [**Radiesse**](/radiesse/), contain calcium hydroxylapatite, which builds volume over time by stimulating collagen production for even longer-lasting results. Unlike [**Botox Cosmetic**](/botox/), which relaxes the underlying muscle activity that causes wrinkles, fillers address facial aging by filling in folds, lifting sagging areas, and restoring fullness. For more information on our complete menu of injectable treatments, see our [**injectables overview**](https://blumeskintreatment.com/services/injectables/). #### Your Filler Appointment, Unfiltered *What Is the Facial Filler Procedure Like?* Your **Scottsdale facial filler treatment** at Blume Skin and Body is personalized for comfort and natural-looking results: - **Consultation:** Your provider will review your medical history, discuss your goals, and determine the best filler option for your needs. - **Preparation:** The injection site is cleansed. A topical numbing cream or local anesthesia may be applied to minimize discomfort. - **Injection:** Using a fine needle or cannula, the smooth gel filler is carefully placed in the treatment area to restore balance and add volume. - **Aftercare:** Mild swelling, tenderness, or redness at the treated area is common but temporary. Most patients return to daily life right away. #### Restoring Harmony & Radiance *What Areas Can Be Treated With Facial Fillers?* Our experienced injectors target areas of concern while focusing on full facial harmony and balance. Facial fillers can address multiple treatment areas, including: - **Lips:** For lip augmentation or subtle definition - **Cheeks & Midface:** Restores youthful contour and corrects volume loss - **Temples**: Reduces hollows or fat loss due to aging - **Jawline & Chin:** Creates balance and enhances facial contours - **Neck**: restores volume and reduces signs of visible aging - **Nasolabial Folds:** Smooths deep lines running from the nose to the mouth - **Marionette Lines:** Softens lines that pull down around the chin - **Under-Eye Hollows:** Reduces shadows and restores brightness - **Facial Wrinkles:** Fills creases for natural-looking results - **Hands: **Corrects age-releated volume loss #### Quick, Precise & Transformative *What Are the Benefits of Facial Fillers?* **Facial fillers** like Juvéderm® and Radiesse® offer immediate, visible results—most patients see at least moderate improvement after just one injection. These non-surgical treatments are designed to restore lost volume, smooth moderate to severe wrinkles, and subtly enhance facial features such as the cheeks, lips, and jawline, all with minimal downtime. In addition to restoring structure, many fillers also hydrate the skin from within, leading to improved skin smoothness and texture. With results that can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years depending on the product used, fillers are a long-lasting yet flexible option for facial rejuvenation. Treatments are quick, typically done in-office in under an hour, and can be easily combined with Botox or skin rejuvenation services for balanced, full-face enhancement. At Blume Skin & Body, our expert injectors take a thoughtful, personalized approach to ensure your results look refreshed, natural, and beautifully in harmony with your overall appearance.

Fillers are perfect for those who want a non-surgical procedure that provides natural-looking results. You may not be a candidate if you have an active skin infection at the treatment site, multiple severe allergies or history of severe reactions, a tendency for excessive scarring or poor wound healing, or certain autoimmune diseases or blood-clotting conditions. A [consultation](/consultation/) ensures that facial injections are safe and tailored to your goals. Your provider will carefully evaluate your goals and medical history to ensure facial fillers are right for you. #### Getting Optimal Results From Your Treatment *Facial Filler Recovery & Aftercare* **Facial fillers require little to no downtime**. You may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising, which tend to fade quickly. Most people return to their routine right away with a few simple precautions. To minimize side effects and protect your results, we recommend: - Avoiding **strenuous exercise** for 24–48 hours - Keeping the **head elevated** for several hours after your appointment - Avoiding **blood thinners** or **anti-inflammatory drugs** unless approved by your provider - Protecting your skin from **extensive sun** exposure and using **sun protection factor (SPF)** daily #### Still You, Just Refreshed *Facial Filler Results* One of the most rewarding aspects of Juvéderm and Radiesse treatments is how quickly you’ll see results. **Most patients notice an immediate improvement in volume and smoothness right after their facial filler injection session**, with full results continuing to refine over the following days as any mild swelling subsides. You can expect your skin to look fuller, smoother, and more hydrated, with softened lines and more defined facial contours. Juvéderm fillers typically last 6 to 12 months, while Radiesse can deliver results that last up to 18 months or longer. Both fillers offer long-lasting yet non-permanent enhancement, allowing for natural-looking refinement that evolves with you. Whether you’re restoring youthful volume or enhancing a specific feature, your results will look balanced, refreshed, and uniquely yours.

A Scottsdale PRX Derm Perfexion peel targets sun damage and laxity for a radiant glow with zero downtime in Scottsdale. ### Content #### Here We Glow! *PRX Derm Perfexion at Blume Skin and Body* **PRX Derm Perfexion** has fundamentally changed collagen stimulation. It is a high-performance non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that targets the deep dermal layers to push back against sun damage, fine lines, and skin laxity, all while leaving the skin's surface completely intact. It’s the ultimate tool for year-round skin fitness in the Arizona desert. #### The No-Peel Paradigm Shift *What is PRX Derm Perfexion?* PRX Derm Perfexion is a patented biorevitalization treatment that uses a blend of trichloroacetic acid TCA formula, hydrogen peroxide, and kojic acid to stimulate collagen production and **rejuvenate the skin without causing surface peeling**. It provides immediate skin tightening and long-term texture improvement for the face and body with zero downtime.. #### Scottsdale PRX Derm Perfexion At A Glance #### The Science of Biorevitalization *How Does PRX Derm Perfexion Work?* Traditional peels rely on controlled surface damage to the outer layer of the epidermis to force the body to grow new cells. The *PRX Derm Perfexion treatment* flips the script by bypassing the surface entirely. The TCA is a powerful agent for skin renewal, and the hydrogen peroxide acts as protection, neutralizing the caustic effect of the acid on the surface. This allows the active ingredients to travel directly into the dermis to stimulate collagen and elastin by stimulating fibroblasts. You get the benefits of **PRX Derm**, *deep tissue skin regeneration*, with your skin barrier left fully comfortable and functional. #### A Biological Reset *What Can PRX Derm Perfexion Treat?* With **PRX Derm Perfexion** Scottsdale patients have a sort of reset for both the face and body, addressing skin concerns that topical creams cannot reach: - Sun Damage & Photo-Aging: Addressing the cumulative effects of the Scottsdale sun by breaking up stubborn hyperpigmentation and dark spots to even out skin tone. - Fine Lines & Early Wrinkles: Smoothing forehead lines, crow's feet, and wrinkles through deep hydration and firming. - Crepey Skin & Laxity: Improving elasticity to firm the necklace lines on the neck and tighten the delicate skin of the décolleté. - Textural Scars: Refining the appearance of acne scars, pitted scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks by rebuilding the skin at its roots. #### High-Impact Results, Zero Recovery *Benefits of PRX Derm Perfexion* This non-invasive treatment delivers *clinical-grade skin rejuvenation* without the typical social sacrifice. By triggering skin renewal from the inside out, it provides high-impact results with no peeling or downtime. - Immediate Lift and Glow: Achieve a visible firming effect and a radiant complexion the moment you leave the office. - Comprehensive Correction: Effectively improves fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity while addressing uneven skin tone. - Scar & Mark Minimization: Works deep within the tissue to minimize acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks. - Total Radiance: Revitalizes dull skin and dramatically improves overall skin texture and radiant skin quality. - Inclusive Care: It is completely safe for all skin types and tones, including darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV-VI). - Summer-Safe Rejuvenation: Unlike other peels, PRX is non-photosensitizing and can be safely performed during the peak of an Arizona summer. - Needle-Free Biostimulation: Provides the deep revitalization associated with microneedling but without any needles or surface peeling. #### Care for Every Complexion *PRX Derm Perfexion Candidates* Because this **PRX treatment** works below the surface, it is exceptionally versatile and safe for nearly all skin types, regardless of skin tone (Fitzpatrick scale) or age. It is the ideal non-invasive treatment for patients who want to address skin conditions like sun damage but refuse to compromise their active lifestyle. Most patients find this gentle yet effective approach perfect for maintaining a youthful appearance. A good candidate is anyone looking for radiant skin without the redness of traditional peels. However, clinical safety remains our priority, so we will postpone treatment if there is active irritation in the treatment area, such as cold sores. Additionally, **PRX Perfexion** is not approved for those who are pregnant, have a kojic acid allergy, or have used Accutane within the last year.

Additionally, PRX Perfexion is not approved for those who are pregnant, have a kojic acid allergy, or have used Accutane within the last year. #### Your Personal Skin Fitness Plan *PRX Derm Perfexion Consultation and Preparation* We start with a thorough skin analysis where we assess your anatomy and review your skin health goals. We evaluate your specific skin concerns to ensure **PRX Derm Perfexion** is the right fit for your complexion. Preparing for your appointment is straightforward: we ask that you pause the use of active exfoliants like Retin-A or glycolic acids for at least seven days prior to treatment. It is important to avoid waxing the treatment area for at least one week. Coming to your [appointment](/consultation/) with a fresh, makeup-free face ensures the active ingredients can penetrate as effectively as possible to stimulate collagen. #### Skilled Application, Real Results *The Blume Experience: Your PRX Treatment* **Derm Perfexion** is not a mask. It is applied using a specialized, vigorous massage technique. Your provider uses specific manual pressure to massage the PRX solution into the skin layer by layer to ensure it reaches the dermis. During the treatment, you may feel a slight zing or a warm tingling. This is manageable and indicates the trichloroacetic acid is activating your skin renewal. Once the layers are absorbed, we rinse the skin and apply specialized WiQo nourishing creams to lock in deep hydration and comfort the skin, leaving you with a radiant complexion rather than feeling raw. #### When Am I Ready to Go Out? *PRX Derm Perfexion Recovery & Results* You are dinner-ready immediately. You might notice a slight flushed look for a few hours, but this fades quickly into a luminous, youthful appearance. Unlike chemical peels that require days of hiding, **this non-invasive approach allows you to return to your routine instantly**. While you will see an immediate lift, optimal results emerge after an initial series of four sessions spaced about one week apart. This cumulative approach ensures collagen production and elastin production are deep and lasting, with a complexion typically staying vibrant for 6 to 12 months. #### Transparent Pricing for Your Goals *Cost of PRX Derm Perfexion* Pricing reflects the personalized care required for your anatomy and the surface area treated. While a single session is an excellent refresh, most corrective goals for acne scars or sun damage require an initial series for optimal results. The total investment varies depending on several factors, including the number of sessions, typically a series of four, and the specific treatment area, such as the face, neck, or body. Addressing complex skin conditions like pitted scars may also influence the amount of PRX solution required. To make your youthful skin goals more accessible, we offer flexible financing options through CareCredit and Cherry. #### Skill You Can See.

If you want a *subtle lift and enhancement for your buttocks*, consider a non-surgical butt lift with Radiesse® with our skilled nurse injectors. Non-surgical buttock lift procedures offer the same benefits as surgical butt lifts but with no recovery! A “**non-surgical BBL**” is an advanced option for buttocks enhancement. This treatment creates a subtle lift by injecting a collagen-stimulating dermal filler, [Radiesse](/radiesse/)®. Radiesse® is an FDA-approved injectable [dermal filler](/dermal-fillers/) with calcium hydroxyapatite that stimulates collagen production deep within the skin. It is the most effective dermal filler for this procedure because it creates both immediate and long-term results. Collagen growth creates a firming and lifting effect by adding structure beneath the surface layers of the skin. This treatment addresses common complaints of hip indents (hip dip), age-related volume loss, dimples or just wanting a more rounded look. This treatment does not require implants, surgery, or fat grafting and you can still achieve the same beautiful results as a Brazilian butt lift procedure #### Non-Surgical BBL Benefits - Rounder, firmer buttocks - Enhanced contour - Non-surgical butt augmentation [Contact Us](https://blumeskinandbody.zenoti.com/webstoreNew/services?utm_source=7c5106fe25d94f3b9d7c4da38857690d) #### What to Expect with a Non-Surgical BBL For a subtle, non-surgical enhancement, this non-invasive treatment could be the perfect answer for you. Your nurse injector can adjust how many vials are used based on your desired results. The treatment **requires only about an hour to perform**, with long-lasting results of a year or more in most patients. #### Non-Surgical BBL Results and Recovery The treatment is customizable with little to no recovery process. Most patients experience some redness, bruising, and swelling around the injection site, but these are temporary effects that resolve quickly. **The results of butt lift procedures with Radiesse® can last for one year or more**! #### Schedule a Scottsdale Non-Surgical BBL Consultation At Blume Skin & Body, we specialize in non-surgical procedures like the **nonsurgical butt lift with Radiesse**.

Call us at (480) 699-7999! ### Content #### Restore Volume And Refine Your Look *Radiesse at Blume Skin and Body* Facial aging often begins with volume loss, creating facial wrinkles, folds, and sagging in the lower face. At Blume Skin and Body in Scottsdale, we offer injectable treatments with **Radiesse**, an advanced *calcium hydroxylapatite filler* designed to add volume, smooth deep nasolabial folds, soften marionette lines, and restore natural definition to the jawline and chin. Unlike many *hyaluronic acid dermal fillers*, Radiesse is formulated with CaHA microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. This unique structure not only delivers an immediate lift but also stimulates the body’s own collagen production for long-lasting facial rejuvenation. The result is a refreshed, youthful appearance that can last up to two years. #### The Collagen-Stimulating Filler *What Is Radiesse?* Unlike hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, Radiesse is a dermal filler treatment made from a calcium-based gel. The small calcium microspheres stimulate collagen growth and serve as a scaffolding layer beneath the skin, providing support and restoring volume to the face. Dermal filler injections can fill in deeper facial folds than treatments like [Botox](/botox/) injections, so these treatments are often combined to smooth all facial lines and wrinkles. **Radiesse is commonly used to treat nasolabial folds (the creases between the mouth and nose), marionette lines, and smile lines around the eyes**. As a soft tissue filler, it can also be injected into the back of the hands to fill in wrinkled or hollow areas, improving the appearance of visible veins and hand wrinkles. Regardless of its treatment area, it can restore the appearance of healthy skin and reduce signs of aging, with each procedure tailored to your individual needs. #### Renewal in Action *What Is the Radiesse Procedure Like?* At Blume Skin & Body, your **Scottsdale Radiesse treatment** will be performed by our highly trained nurse injectors. Most patients see immediate results with improved contour and an immediate lift in areas of lost volume. Your *Radiesse session* is quick, comfortable, and performed in our Scottsdale office: **Preparation** - Your provider will learn about your goals and review your medical history to ensure you’re an ideal candidate. Before treatment, they may apply a topical anesthetic to reduce sensitivity at the injection site. **Injections** - Using a fine needle, the Radiesse filler is carefully injected into the targeted facial area. The gel carrier instantly adds volume, while the CaHA microspheres begin working beneath the surface to produce collagen. **Post-Treatment Care** - Patients may notice swelling, redness, or tenderness at the treated area, but these side effects are generally mild and resolve within a few days. #### Targeted Rejuvenation *What Areas Can Radiesse Treat?* With **Radiesse** Scottsdale patients can treat a wide range of concerns. Although it works differently from HA fillers, it can be used in many of the same ways. It can treat: - Vertical lip lines - Fine lines - Tear troughs and dark circles - Sagging, hollow cheeks - Nasolabial folds (lines from the nose to the mouth) - Marionette lines (lines from the mouth to the chin) - Chin wrinkles - Jawline definition and the lower face Injectable fillers like Radiesse are unique from options like [Juvederm](/dermal-fillers/), so they may not produce the same effect when used for lip injections. Rather, *Radiesse can create a subtle, natural result without adding volume as Juvederm would*. Additionally, Radiesse isn’t ideal to enhance or change facial features or contour the face. Our team can help you pick the ideal dermal filler treatment options for your desired outcomes. #### Natural Volume Restoration *What Are the Benefits of Radiesse?* Radiesse® is a unique dermal filler that provides instant volume while stimulating natural collagen production for long-term skin rejuvenation. Composed of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres, it effectively smooths moderate to severe wrinkles and restores youthful contours to areas like the cheeks, chin, and jawline. Results can last a year or more, and the skin continues to look lifted even as the product gradually dissolves. Ideal for those seeking longer-lasting results, **Radiesse improves skin firmness, volume, and texture with minimal downtime**. #### Rebuild Youthful Skin From Within *Am I a Candidate for Radiesse?* **Ideal candidates for Radiesse** include patients in good health with realistic expectations who want to correct volume loss, wrinkles, or folds in the lower face. Radiesse may not be suitable for patients with: - Active skin infections, including cold sores in the treatment area - A history of severe allergies or sensitivity to cosmetic treatments - Certain medical conditions such as uncontrolled skin cancer or severe skin disease During your consultation, our providers will determine if Radiesse is right for you and discuss how it compares to other injectables and cosmetic procedures.

PluThiscial treatment is safe for almost all skin types and tones. #### Add on Exosomes for an Elevated Microneedling Treatment Exosomes are nanoparticles or microscopic vesicles naturally secreted by cells and they play a crucial role in intercellular communication and tissue regeneration. They are composed of proteins, lipids, amino acids, peptides, and growth factors. When combined with microneedling treatments, exosomes penetrate more deeply into the skin through the tiny channels created by the microneedling device. The introduction of exosomes into the dermal layers encourages skin repair for a quicker recovery and stimulates new collagen and elastin, which are essential for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. As a result, exosome therapy can significantly improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and hydrate the skin for a brighter complexion. Exosomes are applied topically so there is no additional downtime or recovery for your **microneedling with exosomes treatment**. #### HydraFacial + Microneedling Benefits - Tighten and brighten the skin - Reduce enlarged pores - Smooth acne scars - Minimize fine lines and wrinkles - Improved skin tone and texture #### What to Expect with Hydrafacial + Microneedling The HydraFacial + DP4 microneedling takes about one hour to complete.

Call us at (480) 699-7999! ### Content #### What is Dermaplaning? **Dermaplaning** is a minimally invasive procedure that will refresh your skin by improving the appearance of dull skin, acne scars, and skin blemishes. *Epidermal leveling* (dermaplaning) is performed in a physician’s office by a licensed Medical Aesthetician. This procedure effectively removes not only the top layers of dead skin cells but also the very fine facial hair (*peach fuzz*) that can trap excess dirt and oil, leaving the complexion looking dull. However, this is not a hair removal procedure and will not permanently eliminate hair. [Laser hair removal](/laser-hair-removal/) can be considered for this. #### Dermaplaning Benefits - Increased absorption of active products - Increased smoothness of skin [Contact Us](https://blumeskinandbody.zenoti.com/webstoreNew/services?utm_source=7c5106fe25d94f3b9d7c4da38857690d) #### What to Expect with Dermaplaning First, your face will be thoroughly cleansed to remove any dirt or residue on the surface. Next, a surgical blade is applied to the skin in a low-pressure sweeping manner. This special surgical blade carefully removes the uppermost layers on the skin’s surface resulting in a refined appearance. **Dermaplaning treatment** can be immediately followed by a [chemical peel](/chemical-peel/) for more dramatic skin rejuvenation. #### Schedule a Scottsdale Dermaplaning Consultation If you want to restore bright, healthy skin, schedule a [consultation](/consultation/) at Blume Skin & Body to learn more about the many benefits of **dermaplaning**. --- ## PRF EZ Gel **Link:** [PRF EZ Gel](https://blumeskintreatment.com/prf-ez-gel/) ([md](https://blumeskintreatment.com/prf-ez-gel/index.html.md)) **Type:** Service **Description:** Restore volume naturally with PRF EZ Gel at Blume Skin and Body in Scottsdale.

When injected into the *submental fat* beneath the chin, **Kybella** destroys the fat cells, preventing them from storing or accumulating fat in the future. The body then eliminates the *double chin* naturally in a process that carries away these destroyed fat cells, resulting in a more contoured and slimmer chin profile. Multiple treatment sessions may be required to achieve optimal results, depending on the individual’s needs. #### Who is a Candidate for Kybella? When it comes to **Kybella** Scottsdale area adults who are bothered by moderate to severe submental fat, commonly known as double chins, and desire a *non-surgical double chin removal *with fat-dissolving injections, are the best candidates. Ideal candidates are in good overall health, have realistic expectations about the treatment outcomes, and are not allergic to any of the ingredients in Kybella. Additionally, individuals should not have an infection in the treatment area and should be committed to following the post-treatment care instructions provided by their healthcare provider. #### Kybella Patient Results #### What to Expect with Kybella **A Scottsdale Kybella treatment takes less than 45 minutes**; the injections themselves only take 15 minutes. First, the treatment area is outlined so that the injections can be placed into specific points for a smooth, proportionate finish. A topical local anesthetic is applied to alleviate discomfort before your provider uses a fine gauge needle to inject Kybella into various points around the neck and under the chin. The dead fat cells are naturally carried away by the body effectively getting rid of a double chin appearance. #### Kybella Results Mild swelling and redness are common immediately after treatment, but this will reduce within 3-7 days. Over time, your jawline will appear more defined and vertical necklines will be smoother. **For optimal results, most patients require two Kybella treatments** scheduled a couple of months apart. Further treatment can also be used for patients with more severe fat buildup. *Kybella is not designed to help patients lose weight but to address excess fat*. Kybella can not reduce excess skin or sagging skin in the neck area. For severe sagging skin, neck lift procedures may be more suitable. #### Kybella Recovery After each treatment, **there is no downtime or recovery for Kybella**. Itchiness, redness, and swelling around the injection site are common but should resolve within 48 hours. Results will gradually develop 4-6 weeks after the Kybella procedure as the deoxycholic acid injection works to dissolve fat under the chin. #### Schedule a Scottsdale Kybella Consultation **Kybella** is an innovative cosmetic procedure that allows for fat reduction with minimally invasive measures!

At Blume Skin and Body in Scottsdale, we offer **Sciton BBL** (Broadband Light) treatments—one of the most advanced light therapy options available for treating skin conditions and restoring a healthy, even complexion. This FDA-cleared device delivers precise light energy into the upper layers of the skin to target pigmentation, redness, and discoloration while also stimulating new skin cells and collagen. The result: smoother skin texture, clearer tone, and beautiful skin that looks vibrant and refreshed. #### The Tech That Delivers Beautiful Skin *What is Sciton BBL?* The Sciton BBL (*Broadband Light*) laser is a powerful technology that stimulates the body’s natural healing process and resurfaces the skin for incredible anti-aging results. Since the BBL® laser uses multiple wavelengths of light energy, it can treat a wide variety of common skin concerns. This FDA-approved [intense pulsed light](/ipl-bbl-laser/) treatment targets pigmented skin, redness, uneven skin texture, sagging skin, age spots, and vascular lesions (visible blood vessels), then breaks down the pigmentation to create an even tone. **Sciton BBL laser skin resurfacing** can be used on the face, neck, chest, arms, and back of the hands for full-body skin rejuvenation. #### What to Expect *What is a BBL Laser Treatment Like?* During a typical session: - Your medical aesthetician will first clean your face to remove any makeup or face creams you might have applied, and you will be given a protective eye shield to wear during treatment. A clear gel will be applied to the skin to protect it and keep you comfortable while the BBL® applicator distributes light energy across the problematic areas of the skin. - A handheld device delivers precise pulses of **light energy** to the **treatment area**. - The **heat absorbed** by pigmentation or blood vessels helps clear discoloration while gently encouraging **new collagen** growth. Most patients describe the sensation as a quick snap or mild warmth. Treatment takes anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.

Over the next week, the pigmented lesions will darken and flake off. Do not pick at the flaking pigmentation since this can damage your skin. Avoid direct sun exposure during the healing process, and use SPF to protect your results. #### Long-Term Renewal *Sciton BBL Results* Once your treated skin is healed, you will see a brighter complexion and more even texture. For optimal results, *3 BBL treatments scheduled one month apart are recommended*, but the number of treatments you may need varies for each patient.

Call (480) 699-7999 for stunning results! ### Content #### The Art of the Refresh *Botox at Blume Skin and Body* You don’t need a calendar to tell you when it’s time for **Botox**. Your skin usually provides its own signals. Over time, the daily squinting against the intense Arizona sun and the habitual tension from focusing on our screens start to leave a lasting impression. The lines that used to vanish when your face was at rest begin to linger a little longer, casting small shadow patterns that can make you look tired, stressed, or stern even when you are completely relaxed. At Blume, we use *Scottsdale Botox injections* to help restore a sense of rest and vitality to your face. We prioritize the unique movements that make you you, softening only the heavy tension that distracts from your natural expression. It’s a simple, high-performance way to maintain your skin fitness and ensure you always look like the most refreshed version of yourself. #### Precision in Every Unit *What is Botox?* **Botox Cosmetic** is an FDA-approved *neuromodulator* that temporarily improves the appearance of specific muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. By blocking nerve signals to these muscles, the overlying skin remains smooth, preventing the deepening of forehead lines, crow’s feet lines, and frown lines without affecting your natural facial features. *Botox injections* also act as a preventative measure. When started early, a strategy often called pre-juvenation, it retrains facial muscles to move less aggressively. This preserves your skin's elasticity for years to come, making it a proactive rather than reactive choice for your skincare routine. #### Botox At A Glance #### From Beauty to Biological Relief *Medical and Cosmetic Purposes of Botox* While most common side effects are mild, the versatility of this toxin is staggering. It is a prescription medicine derived from the bacterium *Clostridium botulinum*, the same toxin that causes food poisoning in much higher, unregulated concentrations. However, when used in controlled, **purified Botox injections**, it is a powerhouse for both cosmetic purposes and medical purposes. #### The Science of the Block *How Does the Botulinum Toxin Work?* Botulinum toxin (**Botox**) works by intercepting the signals that go from your nervous system to your muscles. When you scowl or squint, your brain sends a signal that tells those muscles to contract. Botox Cosmetic sits at the meeting point, temporarily blocking that signal so the muscle stays in a relaxed state. We often get questions about dilution. It is important to know that Botox arrives from the manufacturer as a dry, vacuum-dried powder. Every injector must add a sterile saline solution to reconstitute the botulinum toxin type. This isn't watering down the product; it is a clinical necessity for precision. At Blume, we prioritize unit integrity, ensuring the dilution ratio allows for the exact dosing your specific facial features require for natural beauty. #### Why We Love It *What are the Benefits of Botox?* This treatment remains a global favorite in dermatologic surgery because it delivers high-performance results with almost no social sacrifice. It instantly refreshes an angry or tired look by smoothing out fine lines and preventing them from becoming deep, permanent etched wrinkles. Because there is *minimal downtime*, it fits perfectly into a busy Scottsdale schedule. Whether you want a subtle first-time refresh or full correction for deeper signs of aging, the results are entirely customizable to your personal aesthetic. #### Is it a Match? *Am I a Candidate for Botox?* Because Botox treatment works below the surface, it is a great fit for nearly everyone over the age of 18 who is noticing *facial wrinkles*. It’s **an excellent choice for anyone looking to protect their skin’s long-term elasticity**. [.lead]Who should exercise caution?[] Clinical safety is our priority. We will postpone your session if you have an active skin infection in the treatment area. You should inform your provider if you are taking any prescription medicine, especially blood thinners, which can increase bruising at the injection site. Allergic reactions are rare, but you should not receive botulinum toxin products if you have had an allergic reaction to any other toxin produced by the same bacterium. Botox is also not approved for patients who are currently pregnant or nursing. #### The 30-Minute Transformation *What is a Botox Appointment Like?* Your visit is quick and straightforward. After we cleanse the treatment area and map out your unique anatomy, we use an ultra-fine needle to deliver the injections into the specific forehead muscles or other target areas. Most of our patients describe the sensation as a quick pinch. **Botox** Scottsdale patients are treated fast and the *discomfort is minimal.* Numbing cream is generally not necessary. #### After Your Injections *Botox Recovery and Side Effects* There is **no recovery time**, but you should be aware of the side effects. The most common side effects include a mild headache, slight redness, or bruising at the injection site. Some patients report temporary flu-like symptoms. Serious side effects are extremely rare, but seek medical attention immediately if you experience breathing problems, trouble swallowing, vision problems, or severe muscle weakness in treated areas away from the injection site. These could be signs that the toxin has spread. Our providers follow strict guidelines to minimize these risks. #### The Waiting Game *When Will I See Results?* You won't look different the second you leave. Around day three to five, you’ll notice the softening begin as your facial muscles start to relax. The **full effect usually takes about 14 days to peak**. We consider this the gold standard window, and it's the best time to evaluate the treated area. #### The Skin Fitness Cycle *How Long Do Results Last?* With **Botox** Scottsdale patients have more than just an injection. It’s an art form. Our *highly trained Botox providers* tailor every botulinum toxin treatment to your unique facial anatomy, ensuring subtle and natural-looking results. With over 15 years serving Scottsdale and the Phoenix metro, we are known for safe, professional care and results that leave you looking refreshed, not overdone. [.text-center title-sm]The Midday Makeup Test[] One of the most practical ways our patients can know if their Botox has fully worn off is what we call the midday makeup test. If you notice that your foundation, tinted moisturizer, or concealer consistently settles into your forehead lines or around your eyes by lunchtime, creasing where it used to lay completely flat, your skin is losing its smooth surface canvas. That’s when it’s time to look at maintenance treatment. For most of our Scottsdale patients, the sweet spot for maintenance is every three to four months. By staying on a consistent schedule, you prevent wrinkles from re-etching, making it much easier to maintain a youthful appearance long-term. #### Skill You Can See. Care You Can Feel. *Why Choose Blume for Botox?* Blume offers a welcoming, private environment where the focus is always on you. Patients across Scottsdale trust us for our natural beauty results and unmatched expertise. We are a boutique destination in business for 15 years, where our injectors are artists of restraint. Every unit of **Botox in Scottsdale** is placed with the goal of leaving you looking refreshed and relaxed, never overdone. #### Botox Frequently Asked Questions --- ## Xeomin **Link:** [Xeomin](https://blumeskintreatment.com/xeomin/) ([md](https://blumeskintreatment.com/xeomin/index.html.md)) **Type:** Service **Description:** Scottsdale Xeomin injections at Blume Skin & Body, the award-winning medical spa in Scottsdale, AZ, is a great Botox alternative for wrinkle reduction. Call us at (480) 699-7999! ### Content #### What is Xeomin? **Xeomin**® is a [Botox](/botox/) alternative designed for fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes and forehead. Xeomin is sometimes referred to as “*naked Botox*” because it is made from a purified form of botulinum toxin type A. By purifying this formula and removing accessory proteins without an active role in the treatment, patients can expect the same great results after each treatment. The risk of allergic reactions is also lower because of this purification. Botulinum toxin temporarily paralyzes the facial muscles to prevent contraction and the resulting development of facial wrinkles. #### Xeomin Benefits - Smooth crow’s feet around the eyes - Improved appearance of frown lines - Natural-looking results [Contact Us](https://blumeskinandbody.zenoti.com/webstoreNew/services?utm_source=7c5106fe25d94f3b9d7c4da38857690d) #### What to Expect with Xeomin During your **Scottsdale Xeomin treatment**, a topical numbing cream can be applied to the skin to make the treatment as comfortable as possible. Most patients do not find the injections to be painful, however. Xeomin will be carefully injected into the forehead and around the eyes with a fine needle. *The entire procedure takes less than 30 minutes*. #### Xeomin Results and Recovery After your injections, you may experience some mild swelling and bruise around the injection site but this will reduce within a few days. **Xeomin develops quicker than Botox** and you will begin to see results in five days. The smoothed appearance of your facial lines and wrinkles typically lasts 3-4 months. #### Schedule a Scottsdale Xemomin Consultation At Blume Skin & Body, all our nurse injectors have been trained by Dr. Blume, a Certified Advanced Injectable Instructor. Schedule a [consultation](/consultation/) today to learn more about **Xeomin** and the other botulinum toxin products available at our office. #### Xeomin Frequently Asked Questions --- ## Dysport **Link:** [Dysport](https://blumeskintreatment.com/dysport/) ([md](https://blumeskintreatment.com/dysport/index.html.md)) **Type:** Service **Description:** Blume Skin & Body is an award-winning medical spa offering Scottsdale Dysport treatments with incredible wrinkle-reducing results. Call us at (480) 699-7999! ### Content #### A Softer Reset *Dysport at Blume Skin and Body* You might not want a dramatic change, and that’s perfectly fine. Sometimes, it’s just about making a few small improvements. Maybe the frown lines between your brows are lasting longer, your forehead shows more movement, or the corners of your eyes are creasing sooner than before. At Blume Skin & Body, we use **Dysport** to gently smooth these early changes without altering your natural look. It relaxes the facial muscles that cause *dynamic wrinkles*, helping to reduce frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet while keeping your expression looking natural. #### The Fix For Frown Lines *What Is Dysport?* **Dysport** is a botulinum toxin injectable that relaxes the facial muscles, causing moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows. It’s FDA-approved for *glabellar lines* and is commonly used to soften dynamic wrinkles caused by facial movement. Dysport is a well-known *wrinkle relaxer* in the aesthetics field. It works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to certain facial muscles, which helps reduce the repeated movements that cause lines and wrinkles. This makes it especially effective for dynamic wrinkles, the ones that appear with facial expressions and become more noticeable over time. #### Where Lines Start To Show *What Can Dysport Be Used to Treat?* Dysport is most often used to *treat frown lines between the eyebrows*. These vertical lines can make your face look more tense or tired than you actually feel. Depending on your movement pattern and treatment goals, **Dysport injections** may also be used to soften: - Frown lines between the brows - Forehead lines - Crow’s feet - Other facial wrinkles caused by repeated movement This treatment is a good choice for people who don’t want surgery or a big change. They simply want to address a few lines before they become more noticeable. #### Where The Shift Starts *How Does Dysport Work?* Dysport reduces the nerve signals that make certain facial muscles contract. When these muscles relax, the skin above them doesn’t crease as much or as often. Over time, this *softens dynamic wrinkles* and helps keep lines from becoming too noticeable. This difference is important. Some lines are mainly caused by movement, while others are already set into the skin. **Dysport works best for lines caused by movement**. If your lines are deeper or come with volume loss, loose skin, or texture changes, you might need a more comprehensive treatment plan. #### A Tale Of Two Toxins *Dysport vs. Botox* **Dysport** and [Botox](/botox/) are both botulinum toxin injections used to treat facial wrinkles from movement. They are similar in many ways, but not exactly the same. Some key differences can affect which one is better for you, depending on the treatment area and how your muscles move. One main difference is how Dysport spreads. It has a lighter structure and spreads more easily than Botox after injection. This can be helpful for treating larger areas or broader movement patterns. In cases where more precision is needed, Botox might be the better choice. *Dysport often works a bit faster for many people*. Some notice results in two to three days, while Botox may take a little longer. Final results for both usually appear in 10 to 14 days. Both treatments last about three to four months. Dysport also uses more units than Botox for similar effects, so the amounts are not directly interchangeable. #### Less Tension, More Ease *What Are the Benefits of Dysport?* Dysport remains popular because it’s simple, effective, and easy to keep up with. It doesn’t take much time from your schedule and can make a noticeable difference in your appearance. With **Dysport** Scottsdale area residents can receive the following types of benefits: - Softens dynamic wrinkles caused by facial movement - Temporarily improves the appearance of frown lines - Helps smooth forehead lines and crow’s feet - Offers natural-looking results when it’s placed well - Takes less than 30 minutes in most cases - Involves very little downtime - Helps refresh the face without surgery - Can be a strong option for treating larger areas in the upper face When used carefully, Dysport can help you look smoother and more refreshed. It can even give you a more youthful look. The best results still look like you, just less tense, less tired, and less affected by those lines. #### Who It Works For *Dysport Candidates* #### Before Your Appointment *How Should I Prepare for Dysport?* Getting ready for a **Scottsdale Dysport **session is straightforward, but it helps to be prepared. - Share your full medical history, including any prior botulinum toxin injections. - Review your medications and supplements with your provider. - Arrive with clean skin. - Time treatment around events if bruising would bother you. - Come in knowing what you want to treat and how much movement you’d like to keep. Most people don’t need to do much before their appointment. The most important step is having an open conversation about your treatment goals. #### A Few Quick Pinches *Dysport Treatment* *Dysport injections are quick*, but planning is key. Your provider might ask you to frown, raise your eyebrows, or make different expressions to map out the muscles causing your lines. This helps ensure the treatment is precise. A **Scottsdale Dysport treatment** usually includes: - Cleansing the skin - Reviewing movement in the treatment area - Marking the injection points if needed - Using numbing cream for comfort when appropriate - Injecting Dysport into specific facial muscles - Going over aftercare before you leave The injections themselves usually take less than 30 minutes, often even less time. #### The Smooth-Out Phase *Dysport Results and Recovery* #### Better In Good Company *Can Dysport Be Combined with Other Treatments?* Yes, **Dysport is often combined with other treatments** when the concern is more than just muscle movement. Some people pair it with [dermal fillers](/dermal-fillers/) for volume loss or deeper folds, while others add skin-focused treatments for a more complete refresh. You don’t have to do everything at once, and not everyone needs a combination plan. Timing and your schedule are important. It’s better to build your plan thoughtfully rather than add treatments just because it’s possible. #### Thoughtful By Design *Why Choose Blume Skin & Body for Dysport?* At Blume Skin & Body, we provide a warm, private space where you can feel comfortable, cared for, and never rushed. People throughout Scottsdale trust us for natural-looking results, experienced injectors, and attentive care from your first [consultation](/consultation/) onward. We are a boutique practice with a careful approach to aesthetics. This means we plan treatments thoughtfully, focus on subtle improvements, and aim for results that look refreshed, not overdone. Our goal is always to help you look polished and still completely like yourself. #### Let’s Map It Out *Schedule a Scottsdale Dysport Consultation* A [consultation](/consultation/) is where your treatment plan takes shape. We look at how your brows move, where lines are forming, what has been treated before, and the results you want. Some people want a small adjustment, while others prefer more noticeable softening in one area. The best approach depends on your unique features. At Blume, your **Scottsdale Dysport consultation** is also when we review your medical history, past treatments, likely dosage, and how to maintain your results. It’s a simple conversation and the best way to see if Dysport is right for your goals. #### Dysport Frequently Asked Questions --- ## Sciton BBL MOXI **Link:** [Sciton BBL MOXI](https://blumeskintreatment.com/sciton-bbl-moxi/) ([md](https://blumeskintreatment.com/sciton-bbl-moxi/index.html.md)) **Type:** Service **Description:** Elevate your beauty at Blume Skin & Body.

Meet the newest botulinum toxin injectable that offers the same great benefits as Botox! Target glabellar lines (frown lines) and more! ### Content #### What is Daxxify? **Daxxify** is the newest [botulinum toxin](/botox/) injectable that offers the same great benefits as [Botox](/botox/) and more! Target glabellar lines (frown lines) and other fine lines with Daxxify! *Daxxify is a newly FDA-approved neuromodulator from Revance Therapeutics*. Like other neuromodulators, Daxxify is made with botulinum type A, a neurotoxin that temporarily paralyzes facial muscles to prevent repeated muscle contractions caused by facial expressions. These constant facial expressions caused by laughing, smiling, frowning, etc. result in severe lines called dynamic lines. When injected into the affected muscles, Daxxify effectively smooths those severe facial lines. What makes Daxxify unique is that its formula is made with peptides instead of human or animal byproducts like human serum albumin. These peptides give the Daxxify formula a more cohesive structure that makes it more durable and longer lasting. - Smooth severe frown lines and other facial wrinkles - Average duration 3-4 months - Rejuvenated, natural appearance [Contact Us](https://blumeskinandbody.zenoti.com/webstoreNew/services?utm_source=7c5106fe25d94f3b9d7c4da38857690d) #### What to Expect with Daxxify At the start of your cosmetic treatment, we will ask whether you want a topical numbing cream for your procedure. Injections are minimally painful and often well-tolerated without any numbing, but we will be happy to utilize an anesthetic to help you feel more comfortable. Once your skin is cleansed and prepared, Daxxify will be injected into a few points between the brows using a fine-gauge needle. **The entire treatment takes less than 30 minutes**. #### Daxxify Results and Recovery After a **Scottsdale Daxxify** injection treatment, mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness around the injection site are common side effects. These will improve by themselves within a couple of days but during that time, you can use an ice pack and over-the-counter pain relievers to alleviate any discomfort.

Call us at (480) 699-7999! ### Content #### Brighten, Clarify, and Rejuvenate *Photofacial Light-Based Treatments at Blume Skin and Body* Over time, sun exposure, skin aging, and environmental conditions can lead to uneven skin tone, sun spots, age spots, vascular lesions, and skin imperfections. At Blume Skin and Body in Scottsdale, we offer **Photofacial**: *IPL* / *BBL* treatments—powerful light-based treatments designed to target discoloration, improve skin texture, and restore a smoother, more youthful look. Both IPL (*Intense Pulsed Light*) and BBL (*Broadband Light*) are advanced, noninvasive treatments that use high-intensity light energy to penetrate the skin’s surface, stimulate collagen production, and encourage natural skin repair. The result: clearer, brighter, more radiant skin with minimal discomfort and little downtime. #### The Technology Behind Radiant Skin *What is a Photofacial IPL / BBL?* At Blume Skin & Body, we offer both the IPL (intense pulsed light) Photofacial and BBL (Broadband Light) Photofacial that harness **light energy** to correct pigmentation, redness, and early signs of aging. - **IPL Treatment (Intense Pulsed Light):** Uses a broad range of **light waves** to penetrate the **upper layers** of skin, targeting **darker particles** in **skin pigmentation** and breaking down discoloration. - **BBL Treatment (Broadband Light Therapy):** Considered a **more advanced treatment**, BBL is Sciton’s next-generation device that delivers controlled bursts of **light energy** deeper into the skin for improved results and long-term benefits like collagen and elastin stimulation. Together, **IPL and BBL treatments** are highly effective for addressing **various skin concerns,** including **sun damage, age spots, skin discoloration, and visible signs of aging**. #### From Light Waves to Visible Results *What is a Photofacial Procedure Like?* Before a **Scottsdale Photofacial**, your provider will cleanse the skin of any makeup, sunscreen, or face creams. Men will have to shave on the day of their treatment before arrival. Eye shields will be placed over your eyes, and a cooling gel will be applied to the skin to alleviate any discomfort. Cold air is also blowing onto the skin to cool it as intense pulses of light are flashed over the skin. **What to Expect** During your session at Blume Skin and Body: - The treatment area is cleansed, and a cooling gel is applied to the **skin’s surface**. - A handheld device delivers pulses of **intense pulsed light** or **broadband light** to the skin. - Patients may feel a warm or snapping sensation, but there is **only minimal pain** and no need for extensive numbing. Depending on the **treatment areas**, sessions last between 20–45 minutes. Afterward, the skin may appear slightly flushed, with **skin debris** (tiny darkened spots) forming as pigmentation rises to the surface before flaking away to reveal fresh, renewed skin. Most patients feel minimal discomfort during their IPL or BBL Photofacial, and the sensation of the light pulses has been compared to the feeling of a rubber band snapping. Photofacial skin rejuvenation can take anywhere from 30 to 75 minutes, depending on your skin concerns and the size of the treatment area. #### Photofacial Patient Results #### A Versatile Answer to Skin Imperfections *What Conditions Do IPL and BBL Photofacials Address?* **IPL and BBL** are versatile treatments that can effectively treat: - **Sun damage** and **superficial sun spots** - **Age spots** and **brown spots** - **Skin discoloration** and **uneven skin tone** - **Vascular lesions, blood vessels, and redness** - **Hyperpigmented skin and shallow pigmentation** - **Skin texture concerns** - **Early signs of sagging skin and aging skin** These **cutting-edge laser treatments** also support **skin rejuvenation** by stimulating **healthy cell production** and **collagen stimulation** for a firmer, smoother complexion. #### Where Light-Based Treatments Shine *What Areas Can Photofacials with IPL or BBL Treat?* **Common photofacial treatment areas** include the: - Face - Neck - Chest (décolletage) - Hands - Shoulders - Other areas exposed to **sun exposure** and environmental stress Because these **light devices** are highly customizable, they can be adjusted to fit your **skin type** and concerns for safe, effective results. #### Radiant Skin, Minimal Downtime *What Are the Benefits of Photofacial: IPL / BBL?* - Improve sun damage - Safe for many areas of the body - Smoother skin tone - Treat vascular lesions and broken capillaries - Reduces **visible signs of aging** and sun damage - Corrects **uneven skin tone** and pigmentation - Treats **vascular lesions** and redness - Stimulates **collagen and elastin production** for firmer skin - Offers **fewer treatments** with **optimal results** compared to standard IPL - Requires little to no **post-treatment downtime** - Improves overall **skin rejuvenation** and natural beauty Harnessing the power of light, **BBL or IPL ****Photofacial treatments in Scottsdale** offer a comprehensive solution for skin concerns.

You will receive a post-kit with moisturizer and SPF that can be used to keep your skin healthy as it heals. For optimal results, we recommend 3-5 laser treatments scheduled 3-6 weeks apart. Direct sun exposure (including tanning beds) should be avoided for 7-10 days after each treatment. Targeted spots of pigmentation will darken and naturally flake off in 3-14 days, depending on the treatment area. Do not pick at these flaking or “microcrusting” areas. An exfoliating treatment like a Hydrafacial, OxyGeneo facial, or DermaSweep™ can help to remove any remaining crusting 1 week after treatment on the face and 2 weeks after treatment on the body. #### The Timeline of Transformation *Photofacial Results* *Scottsdale Photofacial Patient Review* [Read Reviews](/testimonials/) #### Schedule a Consultation *Why Choose Blume Skin and Body for Scottsdale Photofacial IPL / BBL?* **BBL and IPL treatments** are a popular form of laser therapy offered at Blume Skin & Body.

While triLift stimulates muscle contractions, the two RF energy devices stimulate collagen production at various levels of the skin to create structure and increase the production of hyaluronic acid. This non-surgical treatment tones muscles, reduces wrinkles, smooths texture, and reduces the appearance of cellulite and stretch marks. Clinical studies show that triLift can increase skin smoothness by 80% and reduce wrinkles by 30%. #### TriLift Body Benefits - Increase muscle mass - Improve skin texture and tone - Long-lasting results - Non-surgical body contouring [Contact Us](https://blumeskinandbody.zenoti.com/webstoreNew/services?utm_source=7c5106fe25d94f3b9d7c4da38857690d) #### What to Expect with TriLift Body **triLift treatment** consists of three steps as each treatment applicator is used one at a time. The first applicator stimulates the muscles with electromagnetic energy. There are various-sized applicators with different numbers of electrodes to comfortably fit and effectively treat different-sized treatment areas. The triLift applicator will then be following up with triFX [microneedling](https://blumeskintreatment.com/hydrafacial-dp4-microneedling/) that targets the surface of the skin to create an even texture and tone. Finally, a non-invasive TriPollar RF device gently heats the dermal layers of the skin for an additional tightening and lifting effect. #### triLift Body Results and Recovery After a **Scottsdale triLift Body procedure**, there is minimal downtime necessary, and most patients can return to their normal activities immediately.

Blume Skin & Body is excited to bring you our uniquely designed treatment, BlumeSculpt Neo! This combination treatment offers skin tightening, muscle toning, and cellulite reduction in as little as one hour! Merging two powerful FDA-cleared technologies—RF skin tightening and magnetic muscle stimulation—BlumeSculpt Neo provides visible body contouring and improved muscle tone without surgery or downtime. #### Two Technologies. One Powerful Transformation. *What is BlumeSculpt Neo?* The BlumeSculpt Neo is broken down into two sections: radiofrequency skin tightening and CoolTone®. Radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening delivers heat energy into the skin, which stimulates collagen production to tighten and firm the skin, improving the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagginess. The CoolTone® treatment uses magnetic muscle stimulation to create muscle contractions that strengthen muscle fibers and build muscle mass. Over the 30-minute CoolTone® session, the muscle work is equivalent to 20,000 sit-ups or squats (depending on the area being treated). With a series of sessions, our clients are able to achieve visibly toned and firmed body contours. #### What Is the Blumesculpt Neo Procedure Like? *What to Expect* During your BlumeSculpt Neo procedure, two different applicators will be used, one after the after. Both CoolTone® and RF energy treatments cause only minor discomfort and require no anesthesia or numbing. RF skin tightening feels like a hot stone massage and CoolTone® feels like an intense workout. Each session is 60 – 90 minutes, depending on the area being treated. The treatment itself is quick, typically done in about an hour. #### Tighten Skin, Tone Muscles, Reduce Stubborn Fat *What Conditions Does Blumesculpt Neo Address?* BlumeSculpt Neo addresses some of the most common concerns associated with aging, weight loss, or post-pregnancy body changes. This treatment helps to: - Firm sagging skin on the abdomen, thighs, arms, or buttocks - Strengthen and enhance muscle tone in targeted areas - Reduce mild to moderate subcutaneous fat or lax tissue The BlumeSculpt Neo treatment is a great fit for patients seeking to firm sagging skin, tighten, or sculpt their body contours without invasive procedures #### Where BlumeSculpt Neo Works Wonders *What Areas of the Body Can Blumesculpt Neo Address?* BlumeSculpt Neo can address multiple treatment areas, including the **abdomen**, **thighs**, **buttocks**, and **arms**. It can also be used for select areas, such as the **neck** and **love handles.** Your medical aesthetician will help you develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific goals. #### Visible Change Without Downtime *BlumeSculpt Neo Benefits* - Dramatic skin tightening - Increase muscle strength and tone - Lift sagging skin - Non-invasive treatment with no downtime [Contact Us](https://blumeskinandbody.zenoti.com/webstoreNew/services?utm_source=7c5106fe25d94f3b9d7c4da38857690d) #### A Personalized Approach to Body Sculpting *Am I a Candidate for BlumeSculpt Neo?* Most patients in general good health who are looking to enhance their contours, skin tone, and muscle definition without surgery can benefit from BlumeSculpt Neo. You may not be eligible if you’re pregnant, have implanted metal devices in the treatment area, or have certain health conditions. We will carefully evaluate your candidacy to ensure that body sculpting with BloomSculpt Neo is the right option for you. #### From First Session to Full Sculpt *BlumeSculpt Neo Results and Recovery* BlumeSculpt Neo requires no recovery time, allowing patients to return to their normal routine immediately after the procedure. Mild redness or tenderness in the treated area is possible, but it usually subsides within a few hours. Your provider may advise you to stay hydrated and avoid strenuous workouts for the rest of the day to support optimal results. The BlumeSculpt Neo treatment consists of 4 treatments done once per week for four weeks total. After treatment, you can go about your typical daily activities without restrictions, which means no downtime! Results will continue to improve after each treatment, lasting for several months, and will further enhance over time as new collagen develops and the muscles are strengthened. #### Where Personalized Care Meets Confidence *Why Choose Blue Skin and Body for Non-Invasive Body Contouring?* With over 15 years of experience in aesthetic medicine, the team at Blume Skin and Body combines clinical expertise with a boutique patient experience focused on you.

A natural solution for thinning hair using your body’s own growth factors. ### Content #### Restore Fuller, Healthier Hair with PRF *PRF Hair Treatment at Blume Skin and Body* Thinning hair can affect confidence at any age. At **Blume Skin and Body in Scottsdale**, we offer **PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) hair treatment**, an advanced regenerative treatment that uses your body’s natural growth factors to stimulate dormant hair follicles and encourage new growth. PRF is a safe, natural approach that enhances thickness, density, and scalp health—without surgery or harsh chemicals. #### A Smarter, Natural Path to Fuller Hair *What is PRF Hair Treatment?* **PRF hair restoration** is a next-generation treatment developed from PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) technology. While PRP has been used for years in both medical and aesthetic treatments, PRF takes the process further by isolating not only platelets, but also stem cells and fibrin matrix proteins from your blood. This concentrated solution is injected directly into the scalp, where it slowly releases growth factors that awaken hair follicles, improve circulation, and strengthen existing strands. The result: a thicker, healthier head of hair, achieved using your body’s own healing power. #### Step Into Your Restoration Journey *What is a PRF Hair Treatment Like?* Your **Scottsdale PRF hair treatment session** at Blume is straightforward and comfortable: - **Blood Draw** – A small sample of your blood is collected. - **Processing** – The sample is spun in a specialized centrifuge to isolate PRF. - **Injections** – Using tiny, precise injections, the PRF is placed into thinning areas of the scalp. *The treatment takes about 45–60 minutes*, and a numbing agent may be used to minimize discomfort. Most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure or pinching. #### Common Concerns PRF Can Improve *What Conditions Does PRF Hair Treatment Address?* **PRF** is designed to *improve common hair concerns*, including: - Early-stage hair thinning - Reduced hair density or volume - Receding hairlines - Shedding from stress, hormones, or aging - Weak or brittle hair growth #### Precision Treatment for Thinning Areas *What Areas Can PRF Treat?* **PRF hair restoration is most often used on the scalp**, including the crown, hairline, and part line. It can be tailored to treat specific thinning patches or broader areas of diffuse hair loss. #### Proven Advantages *What Are the Benefits of PRF Hair Treatment?* #### Finding the Right Approach *Am I a Candidate for PRF Hair Treatment?* **PRF is ideal for men and women in the early stages of hair loss or thinning**. Patients with active follicles typically see the best results. Those with advanced baldness may not be good candidates, but PRF can still improve scalp health and be combined with other *hair restoration therapies*. A [consultation](/consultation/) at Blume Skin and Body will determine the best plan for your goals. #### Minimal Downtime, Maximum Comfort *PRF Hair Treatment Recovery* There is **very little downtime after PRF hair treatment**. You may experience mild redness, swelling, or scalp tenderness for 24–48 hours. We recommend avoiding washing your hair or using styling products for the first day. After that, you can return to your normal routine. #### Results That Build Over Time *PRF Hair Treatment Results* **When will I see results?** Patients often notice reduced shedding and healthier-looking hair within the first few weeks. Visible regrowth and improved density typically appear after 3–6 months. **How long do results last?** Results are long-lasting but vary by individual. A series of treatments—often 3–4 sessions spaced a month apart—provides the most noticeable improvement, with maintenance treatments every 6–12 months to preserve results. #### Confidence, Crafted in Scottsdale *Why Choose Blume Skin and Body for Scottsdale PRF Hair Treatments?* At **Blume Skin and Body**, we specialize in advanced, science-backed treatments that enhance natural beauty and confidence. **Our boutique setting allows us to deliver PRF hair treatment in a private, comfortable environment**, with expert providers guiding your care from start to finish.

See what has the beauty world buzzing, and schedule your **Scottsdale Glo2 Facial** [consultation](/consultation/) with our experienced team today. #### The Facial That Breathes Life Into Your Skin *What Is a Glo2 Facial?* The **Glo2 Facial** uses technology inspired by the healing properties of natural hot springs. The high concentration of carbon dioxide in these hot springs stimulates the oxygenation of the skin. Similarly, Glo2 Facial stimulates a bodily reaction (the Bohr Effect) to send oxygen to the upper skin layer in the treatment area. The Glo2 Facial applicator produces tiny carbon dioxide bubbles through an interaction between the treatment gel and the skin's oxygenation. Once these bubbles permeate the surface layer of the skin, the Bohr Effect is triggered, and oxygen-rich blood is sent to the area to replace the carbon dioxide. During this process, your skin is also exfoliated to unclog pores and smooth the surface. Your treatment ends with an infusion of nutrients and vitamins that encourage healthy, glowing skin. #### One Facial. Endless Possibilities. *What to Expect with a Glo2 Facial* At Blume Skin & Body, we have several options for your **Glo2 Facial**. Different infusions can be incorporated with your facial to target various skin types, conditions, and concerns. #### Balance, Clarity & Tone *What Conditions Does Glo2 Facial Address?* Glo2 Facial addresses many of the most common skin concerns by combining natural oxygenation with active ingredients that nourish and restore the skin barrier. Glo2 excels at improving skin tone and helping to reduce dullness by removing dead skin cells and stimulating lymphatic drainage. It’s an excellent option for acne, dry or flaky areas, uneven skin texture, hyperpigmentation, ingrown hairs, and early signs of aging. With its **therapeutic lymphatic massage effect** and customized nutrient infusion, the Glo2 Facial leaves your skin feeling hydrated, balanced, and visibly healthier. #### Results You Can See and Feel *Glo2 Facial Benefits* - Improve skin tone and texture - Strengthen and protect your skin - Hydrate and firm your skin - Customizable for all skin types and concerns - Immediate radiance with no downtime - For delicate or sensitive skin [Contact Us](https://blumeskinandbody.zenoti.com/webstoreNew/services?utm_source=7c5106fe25d94f3b9d7c4da38857690d) #### Thoughtful Care For Every Complexion *Am I a Candidate for Glo2 Facial?* **Glo2 Facial is a great way to enhance your skin's texture, hydration, and health without downtime**. It's suitable for nearly all skin types, including delicate skin and mature skin. If you’re experiencing breakouts, sensitivity, or visible signs of environmental damage, your provider can tailor a facial treatment that supports your skin’s needs. We recommend postponing treatment if you have an active infection, open wounds, or severe skin inflammation until your skin heals. #### A Glow That Continues to Grow *Glo2 Facial Results and Recovery* After your **Scottsdale ****Glo2 Facial**, your skin will continue to improve and heal itself for several weeks after. Since *many of our **Glo2 Facial** options contain collagen-stimulating ingredients*, the results are long-lasting and provide natural deep facial rejuvenation. Skin looks brighter, smoother, and more refreshed right away, thanks to the exfoliation and oxygenation process. Over the following days, the infused active ingredients continue to work beneath the surface, helping to stimulate collagen production and strengthen the skin barrier. With regular treatments, you can expect long-term improvements in skin tone, fine lines, and overall skin health.

Treat fine lines, acne scars, and sun damage with advanced laser treatments. ### Content #### Smooth, Renew, and Reveal Radiant Skin *Laser Skin Resurfacing at Blume Skin and Body* At Blume Skin and Body in Scottsdale, our **advanced laser skin resurfacing treatments** use precise laser light to smooth, tighten, and rejuvenate treated skin, restoring confidence and a healthier, more youthful glow. We offer a wide range of advanced options, including *Luminous Smooth Glow*, *M22 ResurFX*, *Duo/Trio*, and *BBL*/*MOXI*, to treat both surface and deeper concerns. Whether you’re targeting facial wrinkles, sagging skin, or long-standing skin scars, our providers will design a treatment plan that fits your unique needs. #### Laser Energy and Skin Repair *What is Laser Skin Resurfacing?* **Laser resurfacing** is a cosmetic procedure that uses concentrated pulsating beams of laser energy to carefully remove the outer layer of damaged skin cells while stimulating the underlying skin to produce new collagen. This process helps the treated skin heal smoother, firmer, and clearer. Different types of lasers are used depending on your needs: - **Ablative lasers** (like CO2 or erbium lasers) remove the thin outer layer of skin and heat the surrounding skin to stimulate new skin and collagen production. - **Non-ablative lasers** (such as ResurFX, BBL, and MOXI) deliver energy beneath the skin’s surface to remodel collagen without removing the top layer. - **Fractional lasers **treat tiny “fractions” of the skin with minimal heat damage to encourage quicker healing. By choosing the proper laser procedure (or *laser peel*), we can treat concerns ranging from fine lines to moderately deep lines and even stubborn skin scars. #### The Options We Offer *Types of Laser Skin Resurfacing at Blume* At Blume Skin and Body, we offer *multiple laser procedures* to achieve your desired results: #### Comfort, Care, and Collagen in Action *What is Laser Skin Resurfacing Like?* Your session begins with cleansing and the application of a topical numbing cream for comfort. A handheld device then delivers laser beams or continuous light beams to the treatment area, either on the skin’s surface or into the deeper layers, depending on the selected technology. Most patients describe the sensation as warm or prickling, and the minimal discomfort is temporary. Laser vaporization of damaged cells begins the process of regeneration, and as the skin heals, healthy new skin takes its place. The length of treatment varies by treated area and intensity of the procedure, lasting from 30 minutes to over an hour. #### A Versatile Answer to Sun Damage and Aging *What Skin Concerns Does Laser Resurfacing Treat?* With **laser skin resurfacing** Scottsdale patients can treat a wide variety of skin conditions, including: - Fine lines and deep wrinkles (especially around the eyes and mouth) - Acne scars and other skin scars - Sun damage, sun spots, and brown skin discoloration - Facial wrinkles and sagging skin - Active acne (with select laser systems) - Enlarged oil glands on the nose - Irregular or non responsive skin after other treatments - Skin coloring issues, such as redness or vascular lesions It may also be used in reconstructive surgery to improve skin after trauma or previous cosmetic surgery. #### Dramatic Results *What are the benefits of laser skin resurfacing?* - Improves skin texture and reduces scars - Stimulates collagen and elastin production for long-term firmness - Helps treat wrinkles and reduce the appearance of fine wrinkles and moderately deep lines - Reduces sun-damaged skin and discoloration - Provides noticeable improvement with minimal heat damage to surrounding tissue - Customizable for different skin tones, including many patients with darker skin tones #### Safe and Personalized *Am I a Candidate for Laser Skin Resurfacing?* You may be an ideal candidate for **Scottsdale laser skin resurfacing** if you are in good health, have realistic expectations, and want to address skin aging, acne scars, sun exposure damage, or skin irregularities. However, this procedure may not be recommended if you have very dark skin, are prone to cold sores, have severe skin disease, a history of poor wound healing or hypertrophic scarring, or active acne in the treatment area. A review of your medical history with our providers will help determine the safest and most effective approach.

Recent studies have shown that botulinum toxin injections are effective for treating excessive sweating and these treatments have long-lasting results.Although [Botox](/botox/)® treatments are most known for the ability to treat fine lines and wrinkles, this is also an *effective treatment for hyperhidrosis*. **Hyperhidrosis** is a medical condition that causes excessive sweating, even when people are not in warm temperatures or exercising. This excess sweat causes sweat stains, an unpleasant odor, and embarrassment. The hyperhidrosis disease severity scale can be used to diagnose this condition and determine the best course of treatment. Botox® treatment is FDA-approved for primary axillary hyperhidrosis (underarm sweating) and sweating in the hands. The botulinum toxin in Botox® temporarily blocks the nerve signals that stimulate sweat glands, and this prevents severe sweating. #### Hyperhidrosis Benefits - Reduce excess sweating - Improved self-confidence - Quick treatment with no downtime [Contact Us](https://blumeskinandbody.zenoti.com/webstoreNew/services?utm_source=7c5106fe25d94f3b9d7c4da38857690d) #### What to Expect with Hyperhidrosis Treatment **Hyperhidrosis treatment only takes about 30 minutes and is minimally painful**. However, a topical numbing cream can be applied to the skin to make your treatment as comfortable as possible. Botox® will be injected into the armpits and/or hands with a small needle by one of our highly trained medical injectors. #### Hyperhidrosis Treatment Results and Recovery After Botox® injections, you should avoid strenuous activity for 1-2 days, but all other activities can be continued immediately after treatment. Most patients start to notice improvements in excessive sweating after 2-4 days and the complete results will develop within 2 weeks. **Sweating will be reduced for 6-9 months after one hyperhidrosis treatment**, but some patients may need a second maintenance treatment. #### Schedule a Scottsdale Hyperhidrosis Consultation If you want to *treat excessive sweating* and improve your quality of life, *Botox can be used for treating hyperhidrosis*.

Call us at (480) 699-7999! ### Content #### What is Belotero Balance? If you want to replenish facial volume and eliminate facial wrinkles, **Belotero Balance** is a great option! This hyaluronic acid dermal filler offers natural skin rejuvenation and can be used to treat a wide variety of concerns. Belotero Balance® is a hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler designed to treat moderate-to-severe nasolabial folds and vertical lip lines. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the skin that gives it structure and helps keep it hydrated for a firm, radiant complexion. As we age, we lose facial volume because the skin loses hyaluronic acid, and collagen production decreases. The thin consistency of Belotero Balance makes it the ideal filler for more delicate areas like crow’s feet at the corners of the eyes and “smoker’s lines” which are the vertical lines above the lips. It is also a versatile hyaluronic acid gel and can even handle deep treatment areas. Like other dermal fillers, it can be used to add volume and smooth facial folds in many other areas of the face, including: - Marionette lines between the mouth and chin - Under-eye hollows (tear trough) - Vertical forehead lines (frown lines) - Lip augmentation - Jawline and cheekbones - Nasolabial folds and smile lines - Fine lines and wrinkles at the corners of the mouth #### Belotero Balance Benefits - Immediate, long-lasting results - Natural-looking results - Treat fine lines and deep facial wrinkles [Contact Us](https://blumeskinandbody.zenoti.com/webstoreNew/services?utm_source=7c5106fe25d94f3b9d7c4da38857690d) #### What to Expect with Belotero Balance Our highly trained nurse injectors administer Belotero Balance in one of our comfortable treatment rooms. After assessing your skin and discussing your concerns, your provider will inject the filler with a very fine needle into the desired treatment area(s). This is a quick treatment that most patients find minimally painful. A topical numbing cream can be applied prior to your injections if you are concerned about the discomfort. #### Belotero Balance Results and Recovery After **Belotero Balance injections**, minimal downtime and recovery are needed. Mild redness and swelling around the injection site are common but will reduce within a few days or even a few hours, depending on your skin type. You will immediately see plumper, firmer skin, and less noticeable wrinkles. Results typically last 6-9 months and can be maintained with additional treatments. #### Schedule a Scottsdale Belotero Balance Consultation If you want to reverse the signs of aging with natural rejuvenation, consider treatment with Belotero Balance at Blume Skin & Body.

Contact us today! ### Content #### A Smarter, Healthier Approach to Weight Loss *Medical Weight Loss at Blume Skin and Body* Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight can be challenging, especially with busy lifestyles and the many factors that impact metabolism and appetite. At Blume Skin & Body in Scottsdale, we offer **medical weight loss solutions** designed to help you reach your goals safely and effectively. Our approach combines the latest in prescription-based injections, known as GLP-1 receptor agonists, with personalized support, which may give some men and women a path to long-term weight management. Combined with lifestyle support and our boutique-level care, GLP-1 therapy can help you feel lighter, healthier, and more confident in your own skin. #### Why GLP-1s Are Transforming Weight Loss *What Is Medical Weight Loss?* **Medical weight loss** refers to a *physician-supervised program that uses prescription medications, lifestyle guidance, and ongoing monitoring to help individuals lose weight and improve their health*. Unlike traditional diet plans, medical weight loss leverages advanced treatments such as GLP-1 receptor agonists – injectable medications that work with your body’s natural hormones to regulate appetite and support sustainable weight reduction. *GLP-1s* (glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists) are a class of medications developed initially for diabetes care. They work by mimicking a natural hormone in the body that helps regulate blood sugar, slow digestion, and control appetite. Patients often feel fuller sooner, have fewer cravings, and experience steadier energy levels throughout the day. These prescription-based injections are administered weekly and act on the brain’s appetite centers, helping you feel full sooner and reducing cravings. By supporting healthy eating habits and metabolism, medical weight loss programs can help you achieve results that are difficult to obtain with diet and exercise alone. #### ​​How It Works *What Is the Medical Weight Loss Experience Like?* **Consultation: **Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation at our Scottsdale office. During this visit, our experienced medical team will take time to understand your health history, current lifestyle, and weight loss goals. We’ll evaluate whether prescription-based injections are the right fit for your needs and discuss any potential contraindications to ensure your safety and comfort from the start. **Injections: **If it’s determined that the treatment is right for you, we’ll introduce you to weekly injections using a GLP-1 receptor agonist—an advanced medication that mimics natural hormones to help regulate appetite and blood sugar. These injections can help you feel fuller with smaller portions, making it easier to stay on track. Most patients administer them in the abdomen, and we’ll make sure you feel confident with the process before you begin. The injections also include Glycine, which helps with muscle wasting, and we can customize the dose weekly to ensure you are receiving the best outcome. **Monitoring**: Ongoing support is a key part of your success. Throughout the program, we’ll monitor your progress through regular check-ins, adjust your dosage if needed, and help you manage any mild side effects that may arise. You’ll have a dedicated team to guide you, answer questions. **Maintenance: **After you’ve reached your target weight, we’ll help you shift into a maintenance phase that promotes long-term stability. This may include continued lifestyle coaching, periodic follow-ups, and access to our team whenever you need support. Our goal is not just to help you lose weight—but to help you keep it off and feel great doing it. Your journey begins with a [one-on-one consultation](/consultation/) where our providers review your health history, lifestyle, and weight goals. If **GLP-1 therapy** is right for you, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan that includes: #### From Cravings to Metabolism *What Conditions Does GLP-1 Therapy Address?* **GLP-1 medical weight loss** is designed for patients who struggle with: - Difficulty losing weight despite diet and exercise - Overeating or frequent cravings - Slow metabolism and stubborn fat - Weight-related conditions such as insulin resistance or prediabetes - A desire for safe, sustainable weight loss under medical supervision #### How GLP-1s Support Total Health *What Are the Benefits of Medical Weight Loss?* **Prescription-based medical weight loss** offers more than just a slimmer waistline—it supports your health from the inside out. Many patients experience a noticeable reduction in appetite and fewer cravings, making it easier to make mindful, consistent choices around food. Weight loss with this approach is often more significant than what can be achieved through diet and exercise alone. These treatments also provide important metabolic and cardiovascular benefits, helping improve overall wellness—not just appearance. And with once-weekly injections and personalized medical supervision, the process is both convenient and safe. - Reduced appetite and fewer cravings - May support greater weight loss compared to diet and exercise alone - Improved blood sugar regulation and insulin sensitivity - Support for cardiovascular health - Convenient, once-weekly dosing - Customized treatment plans and expert oversight - Reduced side effects [Contact Us](https://blumeskinandbody.zenoti.com/webstoreNew/services?utm_source=7c5106fe25d94f3b9d7c4da38857690d) #### Who GLP-1 Therapy Works Best For *Who is a Good Candidate for GLP-1?* This type of weight loss program may be a great fit for you if you’ve had difficulty losing weight through diet and exercise alone and are looking for a safe, medically supervised solution. It’s designed for individuals who want a structured, science-backed approach rather than short-term fixes. **GLP-1 medications** may be a good option for adults who: - Have a BMI in the overweight or obese range - Struggle with weight loss despite diet and exercise - Have related health concerns such as pre-diabetes, metabolic syndrome, or insulin resistance During your [consultation](/consultation/), we’ll carefully review your medical history to ensure this treatment is safe and appropriate. In general, medical weight loss may not be suitable for those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant, or for individuals with a history of certain thyroid conditions (such as medullary thyroid cancer or MEN 2), pancreatitis, or significant kidney or liver disease. We’ll walk through all of this together to ensure your safety and comfort every step of the way. #### Expect Visible Change *Scottsdale Medical Weight Loss Results* **How long do results last?** Sustainable results are achieved with continued use and lifestyle support.

Customized treatments for fine lines, sun damage, and uneven tone. ### Content #### Reveal Fresh, Radiant Skin *Chemical Peels at Blume Skin & Body* Over time, skin can look tired, uneven, or weighed down by imperfections. Professional **chemical peels** use carefully selected exfoliating solutions to improve skin texture, tone, and clarity. Depending on the type and strength of the peel, treatment may address dullness, clogged pores, sun damage, uneven pigmentation, fine lines, and certain acne scars. At Blume Skin & Body, each treatment is selected according to your skin type, concerns, medical history, and tolerance for downtime. The goal is controlled exfoliation that leaves your skin looking clearer, smoother, and refreshed. #### The Power of a Peel *What Are Chemical Peels?* Dead skin cells naturally collect along the outermost layer of your skin. That buildup can contribute to a dull complexion, rough skin, clogged pores, and uneven tone. Acne, aging, environmental exposure, and the strong Scottsdale sun can make these changes more noticeable. A chemical peel loosens damaged skin cells with a professionally applied chemical solution. As the treated skin sheds and heals, it reveals new skin beneath the surface. Some patients want a light chemical peel that provides a quick refresh with little visible peeling. Others may benefit from a stronger treatment for more noticeable pigmentation, mild scarring, or fine lines. Your Blume provider will evaluate your skin before recommending the most suitable peel. This allows us to balance the improvement you want with the recovery time that works for your schedule. #### Controlled Exfoliation, Carefully Chosen *What Types of Chemical Peels Do We Offer?* Chemical peels are categorized as light, medium, or deep. The intensity of the peel determines how far the solution penetrates, how much peeling occurs, and how long recovery takes. #### From Uneven to Smoother Texture *What Conditions Do Chemical Peels Address?* The concerns a peel can improve depend on the solution and treatment depth. #### Smoother Skin With a Plan Behind It *What Are the Benefits of Chemical Peels?* A customized chemical peel can: - Remove dead skin cells and surface buildup - Improve rough or uneven skin texture - Brighten superficial discoloration - Reduce congestion and clogged pores - Help manage excess oil - Soften the appearance of fine lines - Fade some sun damage and post-acne marks - Leave the complexion looking smoother and more youthful - Help appropriate skincare products contact the skin more evenly after healing Some medium-depth peels may also trigger a stronger healing response that supports collagen remodeling. Results vary according to the peel, starting skin condition, and treatment plan. #### Finding Your Perfect Peel *Am I a Candidate for Chemical Peels?* Adults with dullness, uneven skin tone, acne, sun damage, mild scarring, or rough texture may be candidates for a chemical peel. Your provider will consider your skin type, natural skin color, current skin condition, medical history, recent sun exposure, and history of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Active infections, open skin, an active cold sore, recent tanning, and certain medications may require treatment to be postponed. Patients with darker skin tones can receive appropriately selected chemical peels. However, aggressive exfoliation can increase the risk of temporary or permanent pigment changes. Conservative treatment, careful preparation, provider experience, and consistent sun protection are particularly important. If a chemical peel isn’t the right choice for your concern, Blume offers other treatments that may provide a safer or more effective path. #### From Cleanse to Renewal *What Is the Chemical Peel Procedure Like?* Your appointment begins with an evaluation of your skin and a discussion of your goals. Your provider will review factors that could affect treatment, including recent sun exposure, current skincare products, medications, previous procedures, and your available recovery time. The treatment area is cleansed to remove makeup, skincare, and surface oils. The chemical solution is then applied evenly using the method appropriate for that formula, such as gauze, a brush, or a cotton-tipped applicator. You may feel warmth, tingling, itching, or mild stinging as the solution works. Your provider monitors your skin throughout the application. Some formulas require a neutralizing agent or removal after a specific period, while others are self-neutralizing. The entire appointment generally lasts between 30 and 60 minutes. Before you leave, you’ll receive instructions for cleansing, moisturizing, sun protection, and restarting your normal skincare routine. [.lead]Preparing for Your Chemical Peel[] Tell your provider about your complete medical history, medications, supplements, allergies, and previous cosmetic treatments. You should also mention a personal or family history of unusual scarring or lasting pigment changes. Let us know if you have had cold sores around your mouth or nose. A peel can reactivate the virus in some patients, so antiviral medication may be recommended. Retinoids, antibiotics, recent isotretinoin use, birth control pills, and medications that increase sun sensitivity can also affect treatment planning. Avoid tanning and excessive sun exposure before your appointment. You may need to pause retinoids, exfoliating acids, scrubs, or other active products, but only according to your provider’s instructions. provider will review factors that could affect treatment, including recent sun exposure, current skincare products, medications, previous procedures, and your available recovery time. The treatment area is cleansed to remove makeup, skincare, and surface oils. The chemical solution is then applied evenly using the method appropriate for that formula, such as gauze, a brush, or a cotton-tipped applicator.

Some formulas require a neutralizing agent or removal after a specific period, while others are self-neutralizing. The entire appointment generally lasts between 30 and 60 minutes. Before you leave, you’ll receive instructions for cleansing, moisturizing, sun protection, and restarting your normal skincare routine. #### Peeling, Healing, and Protecting Your Skin *Chemical Peel Recovery* Recovery depends on the intensity of your treatment. Light peels may cause mild redness, dryness, tightness, or fine flaking for a few days. Many patients return to their normal routine immediately, although active skincare products may need to be paused. Medium peels cause more visible changes. The treated skin may become red, swollen, tight, or temporarily darker before peeling begins. Flaking usually starts within a few days and may continue for approximately five to ten days. More complete healing can take seven to fourteen days. Deep peels involve substantially longer recovery. Peeling, crusting, swelling, discomfort, and prolonged redness may continue for several weeks and require close medical follow-up. Proper aftercare helps your skin heal and lowers the risk of complications. Keep the treated skin moisturized with the bland emollient, ointment, or petroleum jelly recommended by your provider. Don’t pick, pull, or scrub peeling skin. Avoid heat, strenuous exercise, exfoliants, and irritating products until you’re cleared to resume them. Use broad-spectrum sunscreen every day after a chemical peel and avoid direct sun exposure for several weeks. Your provider will tell you when you can wear makeup. Some patients can resume makeup shortly after a light peel, while medium-depth treatment may require waiting one to two weeks. #### When You’ll See Your Glow *Chemical Peel Results* Your skin may initially appear pink, tight, shiny, or temporarily darker. Flaking develops as damaged cells shed. Once this process settles, the new skin underneath often looks brighter, clearer, and noticeably smoother. A light peel may provide a refreshed appearance within a few days, but repeated treatments are often recommended for acne, pigmentation, or ongoing texture concerns. Medium peels can produce more visible improvement after the treated skin heals. Daily sunscreen and an appropriate skincare routine help maintain your results. Continued sun exposure can create new damage and discoloration, even after a successful peel. #### Choosing the Right Kind of Resurfacing #### Gallery *Before & After Photos* View Blume Skin & Body’s gallery to see examples of professional skin treatments.

Call us at (480) 699-7999! ### Content #### What is Collagen? The 3D Collagen Boost is the perfect anti-aging package to treat collagen loss on three different levels. This *minimally-invasive procedure for healthy skin* includes 3 procedures and products. **Collagen** is an important naturally occurring protein in healthy skin. One of many types of connective tissues, it gives your skin its youthful glow, elasticity, and firm quality. When we’re young, we have plentiful amounts of collagen, but as we age, collagen production decreases. This, combined with sun damage and the effects of gravity, causes what we know as signs of aging – wrinkles, sagging, and more. Although many people opt for surgery to reverse signs of aging, boosting collagen production is an increasingly popular alternative. Non-surgical skin tightening has become more and more advanced, allowing us to restore collagen without incisions or downtime. Enhanced collagen production can come in the form of cosmetic treatments like collagen induction therapy, dermal fillers, and skincare products, all designed to create new collagen and improve natural collagen levels. The best part is, this occurs naturally and is an essential part of any anti-aging approach. #### What is 3D Collagen Boost? The **3D Collagen Boost** is a *collagen boosting treatment that combines three skin rejuvenation treatments designed to enhance natural collagen production and improve overall skin health*. It’s a completely non-surgical way to enhance facial volume for healthy looking skin. It also offers a completely customized treatment plan for beautiful skin. Our Scottsdale 3D Collagen Boost includes: #### 3D Collagen Boost Benefits - Immediate and gradual improvements - Lifted, more youthful appearance - Stimulates collagen [Contact Us](https://blumeskinandbody.zenoti.com/webstoreNew/services?utm_source=7c5106fe25d94f3b9d7c4da38857690d) #### What to Expect First, your skin specialist will discuss your cosmetic goals to determine your target areas for Ultherapy and Radiesse. During treatment, we will start with [Ultherapy](/ultherapy/) which uses a handheld non-invasive device to deliver powerful ultrasonic energy to your skin. Next, [Radiesse](/radiesse/) will be injected with a fine needle in the treatment areas, adding volume and improving the appearance of deep facial lines and wrinkles. Your treatment will be completed with an application of the MicroFirm Neck Cream. #### 3D Collagen Boost Results and Recovery There is **minimal downtime after the 3D Collagen Boost treatment**. Minor redness, swelling, and bruising are common but will subside within a few days or less. To minimize swelling, avoid direct sun exposure and apply a cold compress as needed. Rebuilding collagen is a process that takes time, but this also means you will have natural-looking results that build gradually. You will start to see lifted, firmer skin after 3-6 months and these results last for years! The collagen synthesis slows down the aging process to eliminate sagging skin and wrinkles, rejuvenating your youthful appearance. #### Schedule a Scottsdale 3D Collagen Boost Consultation Give your skin the ultimate gift with the **3D Collagen Boost package**!

Our medical aestheticians utilize a unique treatment called **Photofractional treatment** to treat skin tone and texture all in one session. This innovative combination of technologies can treat a wide variety of skin conditions and is customized for each patient’s needs. Photofractional treatment is a unique combination of technologies we use at Blume Skin & Body.

Pulses of laser energy heat the skin with thousands of micro-beams that create micro-channels in the skin and stimulate the body’s natural healing process. The healing process involves the production of collagen and elastin to create a new layer of healthy skin with a firm, elastic texture. The ResurFX™ laser can also be combined with an [IPL Photofacial](/ipl-bbl-laser/) to treat multiple skin conditions in one treatment – we like to call this a Photofractional Treatment. Both technologies target hyperpigmentation, sun damage, rosacea, and age spots. The ResurFX™ laser has the additional ability to smooth acne scars and treat vascular lesions or spider veins. #### Photofractional Laser Benefits - Bright, smooth skin tone - Evened skin texture - Tighten and firm the skin - Treats a wide variety of skin conditions [Contact Us](https://blumeskinandbody.zenoti.com/webstoreNew/services?utm_source=7c5106fe25d94f3b9d7c4da38857690d) #### What to Expect with Photofractional Laser Treatment The M-22 ResurFX™ laser is equipped with cooling technology called **CoolScan**™ that protects the surrounding skin from damage and keeps you comfortable during treatment.

This non-invasive, FDA-cleared *body contouring* procedure targets localized fat and helps eliminate it for good, without the need for plastic surgery, downtime, or incisions. At Blume Skin and Body in Scottsdale, our experienced providers use **CoolSculpting Elite**, the most advanced version of this non-surgical fat reduction method, to treat multiple body areas in a single visit. Whether you're struggling with fat on your upper arms, lower abdomen, under your chin, or elsewhere, we’ll personalize a treatment plan to help you reshape your contours and your confidence. #### Non-Surgical Fat Removal Made Simple *What Is CoolSculpting?* **CoolSculpting**® is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that uses a fat-freezing method called cryolipolysis to eliminate stubborn fat cells in targeted areas of the body. The procedure is FDA-cleared and has been widely studied, with more than 17 million treatments performed globally. CoolSculpting works by applying controlled cooling to fat cells, which causes them to crystallize and die. Over time, the body naturally processes and eliminates these dead fat cells, resulting in a reduction of fat in the treated area. CoolSculpting is FDA-cleared to treat fat in nine areas, including under the chin, jawline, thighs, abdomen, flanks (love handles), upper arms, back, bra fat, and underneath the buttocks (banana roll). Our expert team helps each patient develop a treatment plan tailored to their needs, providing precision sculpting in targeted areas to unveil a sleeker, more balanced silhouette. **What Sets CoolSculpting Elite Apart?** CoolSculpting® Elite is the most advanced fat-reduction technology from Allergan. The CoolSculpting® Elite applicators are better shaped to fully cover and treat your natural curves while providing an 18% larger cooling area than previous versions of CoolSculpting® applicators. Your provider can even use two applicators at the same time to tone two different areas in one treatment. CoolSculpting® can be safely used on the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, back, love handles, and under the chin to permanently eliminate unwanted fat cells. It’s important to recognize that CoolSculpting** **is not an alternative to weight loss surgery. Rather, it is a *precision body contouring treatment* that targets small pockets of subcutaneous fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. #### Comfortable, Convenient, and Effective *What to Expect with CoolSculpting* CoolSculpting offers *a non-invasive method of body contouring* that is comfortable for most patients. During your treatment, your provider will apply the CoolSculpting device to the targeted areas, such as the abdomen, flanks, or banana roll. The applicator gently suctions the fat layer between two cooling panels that freeze fat cells under the skin. **A session takes about one hour,** with the duration depending on the size and number of treatment areas. You may feel a pulling, tingling, or cold sensation initially, but this typically subsides as the area becomes numb. During this time, you can relax, read, or work on your laptop as the applicator works its magic. #### Sculpt Your Ideal Shape *What Conditions Does CoolSculpting Address?* With **CoolSculpting** Scottsdale area patients can treat localized fat that’s been resistant to traditional diet and exercise. It's *ideal for reducing excess fat in small, defined areas* such as: - Lower abdomen and upper arms - Thighs (inner and outer) - Back fat and bra fat - Flanks or love handles - Under the chin (submental fat) - Banana roll (beneath the buttocks) #### The Gold Standard in Non-Surgical Contouring *CoolSculpting Benefits* - Provides localized fat reduction in targeted areas - Permanently eliminates treated fat cells, - Non-invasive alternative to plastic surgery - No downtime or recovery period - Enhances your body shape after changes from weight loss, pregnancy, or aging [Contact Us](https://blumeskinandbody.zenoti.com/webstoreNew/services?utm_source=7c5106fe25d94f3b9d7c4da38857690d) #### Designed for Your Lifestyle *Am I a Good Candidate for CoolSculpting?* CoolSculpting is ideal for people at or near their ideal body weight who have localized fat in specific areas that resist diet and exercise. It’s not designed to help you lose weight, but to refine your natural shape. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your goals and medical history to ensure the CoolSculpting treatment is safe and appropriate for you. #### No Downtime, No Disruption *CoolSculpting Recovery* **CoolSculpting is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment**, and most patients experience little to no recovery time. You may notice temporary redness, numbness, swelling, or bruising in the treated area, but these side effects usually fade within days. Your Blume provider will review aftercare recommendations, such as staying well hydrated, to help you get the best results from your treatment. #### A Sleeker, More Sculpted Silhouette *CoolSculpting Results* You’ll begin to notice changes as early as three weeks after your first **Scottsdale CoolSculpting session**, with the most dramatic results seen at the three-month mark. Your body will continue to flush out fat cells for up to six months post-treatment. Since CoolSculpting permanently eliminates treated fat, your results can last indefinitely, especially when combined with a healthy diet and exercise regimen. However, you can still gain weight in untreated areas or through enlargement of remaining fat cells, so consistency is key. Some patients opt for additional CoolSculpting sessions to fine-tune results or treat new areas over time. #### "Thanks BLUME." *CoolSculpting Patient Testimonials* #### Expertise Meets Innovation *Why Choose Blume Skin & Body for CoolSculpting?* With *thousands of treatments performed*, the attentive team at Blume Skin and Body understands how to make every CoolSculpting treatment precise, effective, and comfortable.

Call us at (480) 699-7999! ### Content #### What is SKINVIVE? For skin with a lasting glow and not a lasting lull, Blume Skin & Body offers **SKINVIVE** injections from Juvéderm. These facial injections are the optimal treatment for restoring the appearance of bright, plump, and smooth skin in no time at all. This injection adds naturally occurring hyaluronic acid to the face to achieve hydration and a lasting glow. SKINVIVE by Juvéderm is the first FDA-approved injectable microdroplet treatment designed to add smoothness and a lasting glow to the cheeks. SKINVIVE is one of many *hyaluronic acid fillers*, but it is injected in the form of microdroplets. These microdroplets can increase the expression of aquaporin, a marker that facilitates the movement of water to skin cells. In turn, SKINVIVE dermal filler injection adds to the appearance of hydrated skin. Not only does this innovative treatment help to smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, but many patients report experiencing glowing, hydrated, refreshed, and generally healthier skin after receiving SKINVIVE injections. #### SKINVIVE Benefits - Long-lasting glow - Minimally invasive - No downtime - Improved smoothness and radiance - Increased aquaporin expression [Contact Us](https://blumeskinandbody.zenoti.com/webstoreNew/services?utm_source=7c5106fe25d94f3b9d7c4da38857690d) #### Candidates for SKINVIVE Ideal candidates for **SKINVIVE dermal filler injections** are those seeking to improve the appearance and smoothness of the cheeks. SKINVIVE by Juvéderm helps to achieve this by smoothing the cheeks and adding a lasting glow. SKINVIVE is approved for all Fitzpatrick skin types, and skin tones are great for those wanting to improve skin smoothness and get rid of the appearance of dull skin. Skin injection procedures, like SKINVIVE, are ideal for those seeking minimally invasive cosmetic treatments that can address skin concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, volume loss, and dullness. Because SKINVIVE is made with naturally occurring hyaluronic acid, the risk of severe allergic reactions is drastically diminished. #### What to Expect with SKINVIVE When you show up for your **Scottsdale SKINVIVE treatment**, the first step will be to thoroughly cleanse the treatment site. Next, your provider conducts the SKINVIVE injection procedure by injecting the microdroplets under the skin using a fine-gauge needle. The treatment is not painful, but there is lidocaine added to the injection to ensure that you are as comfortable as possible. On average, SKINVIVE injections only take 15 minutes, and when you are done, you can continue with the rest of your day. #### SKINVIVE Results and Recovery **SKINVIVE** is considered a lunchtime procedure”, meaning it is quick and allows you to return to work as soon as your appointment is over. This also means that the treatment has no downtime. You will notice the full effects of treatment around one month after injections. These effects can include improved skin quality, skin smoothness, skin tone, and hydration. SkinVive treatments boast long-lasting results of up to six months. #### Schedule a Scottsdale SKINVIVE Consultation To learn more about the innovative dermal filler SKINVIVE from Juvdéderm, head to our website to schedule a consultation with a skin care expert.

Call us at (480) 699-7999! ### Content #### What is SmoothGlo? **SmoothGlo**™ combines two technologies in one for maximum benefits and intense skin rejuvenation that will leave you feeling refreshed. SmoothGlo combines *Stellar M22*™ intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment with VoluDerm™ [RF microneedling](/rf-microneedling-skin-tightening/) to give your skin a dramatic rejuvenation. An IPL Photofacial can treat a wide variety of skin concerns including rosacea, broken capillaries, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and wrinkles. RF [microneedling](/hydrafacial-dp4-microneedling/) stimulates collagen production by triggering the body’s natural healing response with an application of tiny needles that deliver RF energy to the second layer of the skin (the dermis). Clinical studies have also shown that RF microneedling results in three times as much hyaluronic acid naturally occurring the skin so your skin will be plumper, firmer, and hydrated. #### SmoothGlo Benefits - Greater improvements with two treatments performed together - Smoother, brighter skin tone - Improve volume and skin texture for a youthful appearance [Contact Us](https://blumeskinandbody.zenoti.com/webstoreNew/services?utm_source=7c5106fe25d94f3b9d7c4da38857690d) #### What to Expect with SmoothGlo First, your skin will be treated with Stellar M22™. One lesser-known benefit of [IPL treatment](/ipl-bbl-laser/) is that it boosts moisture levels in the skin; this will increase the benefits of RF microneedling during the second half of the treatment. *VoluDerm™ RF microneedling* will wake your skin up by exposing the moisturized area to radiofrequency and a small electrical charge. #### SmoothGlo Results and Recovery There is little to **no downtime after Scottsdale SmoothGlo treatment**. Since IPL and RF microneedling work by stimulating collagen production, results will gradually develop over time. Complete results can be achieved within 3-4 treatment sessions and after this, you can enjoy long-lasting healthy skin. #### Schedule a Scottsdale SmoothGlo Consultation You can earn double the benefits with SmoothGlo! Schedule a [consultation](/consultation/) today with the expert medical aestheticians at Blume Skin & Body to learn more about what SmoothGlo can do for you. --- ## Trilift **Link:** [Trilift](https://blumeskintreatment.com/lumenis-trilift-laser/) ([md](https://blumeskintreatment.com/lumenis-trilift-laser/index.html.md)) **Type:** Service **Description:** Discover transformation at Blume, Scottsdale's award-winning medical spa. Experience the TriLift laser difference. Call (480) 699-7999 today! ### Content #### What is TriLift? Three different tissue levels. Three different targets. Three different technologies. The skin rejuvenating abilities of **triLift**™ are endless and you can receive the same great results from facelift surgery with no downtime and recovery. As we age, facial muscles weaken and the skin becomes lax, creating facial wrinkles and sagging skin. In this treatment, facial muscles will be toned and sagging skin is lifted for a *facelift-like effect* with less invasive measures and less downtime. **TriLift laser treatment** uses three different technologies: Dynamic Muscle Stimulation (DMSt), TriPollar Radio Frequency (RF), and triFX [RF microneedling](/non-surgical-mommy-makeover/). The muscles, dermal layer, and epidermal layer (the skin surface) are sequentially treated with each of these technologies to target three aging elements: structure, contour, and texture. triLift technology is also proven to triple the natural production of hyaluronic acid, a substance that keeps our skin hydrated and maintains elasticity. #### TriLift Benefits - Non-surgical facelift - Lift sagging skin on the face and neck - Tone muscles - Reduce facial wrinkles [Contact Us](https://blumeskinandbody.zenoti.com/webstoreNew/services?utm_source=7c5106fe25d94f3b9d7c4da38857690d) #### What to Expect with Trilift Your **Scottsdale triLift treatment** will consist of three steps. First, an applicator with electrodes will be moved over the skin surface, emitting electrical stimulation to induce muscle stimulation, similar to a workout. Next, the RF [microneedling](/hydrafacial-dp4-microneedling/) device will create tiny punctures in your skin while emitting RF energy into the deep dermal layers. RF energy generates heat to provide an additional lifting effect while your body’s natural wound-healing process stimulates collagen and elastin production to restructure the dermal tissue for firmer skin. *triFX microneedling* works similarly but targets the surface layers of the skin to even out skin texture and improve the appearance of surface imperfections, including fine lines and wrinkles. #### TriLift Results and Recovery For optimal results, *patients should start with a series of four treatments scheduled one week apart*. These results will last 6-8 months and can be maintained with an additional treatment session every 3-5 months. There is no downtime after each of these procedures. **triLift** significantly improves facial volume, softens facial wrinkles, and lifts the muscles and skin for a naturally rejuvenated, youthful appearance. These are immediate results that will continue to improve after each treatment. #### Schedule a Scottsdale TriLift Consultation If you want to combine [skin tightening](/ultherapy/) with skin resurfacing for the ultimate anti-aging rejuvenation, **triLift is the ultimate facial treatment**. Schedule a [consultation](/consultation/) at Blume Skin & Body in Scottsdale, AZ, by calling our office or filling out an online contact form. #### “Blume Gives Real Results!” --- ## Men's Services **Link:** [Men's Services](https://blumeskintreatment.com/mens-services/) ([md](https://blumeskintreatment.com/mens-services/index.html.md)) **Type:** Service **Description:** Blume Skin & Body is an award-winning medical spa in Scottsdale, AZ offering men's cosmetic treatments with incredible results.

We combine Glo2 oxygenation and a gentle peel for a gorgeous Scottsdale glow. ### Content #### Your Skin’s Happy Hour *Champagne Facial at Blume Skin and Body* In the fast-moving world of medical aesthetics, new treatments debut every week. At Blume, we’re always looking for the gems that actually work wonders, and we only add them to our menu once they've earned our stamp of approval. The **Champagne Facial** is one of those essentials we’ve come to rely on for a gorgeous, high-impact glow. This treatment pairs the feel of a luxury spa day with the smart science of the [Glo2 Oxygen Facial](/blog/discover-the-revitalizing-power-of-glo2-facial/) and the SkinMedica Illuminize Peel. We love this duo because it gives you deep skin rejuvenation and a radiant complexion with zero downtime. #### Recipe For Radiance *What is the Champagne Facial?* The **Champagne Facial** is a dual-modality skin treatment that combines Glo2 Oxygenation with a SkinMedica Illuminize Peel to exfoliate, infuse nutrients, and brighten the skin. This "no-peel" peel uses a specific blend of active ingredients to stimulate skin renewal and create a radiant, event-ready glow without downtime. #### Champagne Facial At A Glance #### The Science Behind the Sparkle *How Does the Champagne Facial Work?* This facial treatment works on your skin health from two different directions. First, the Glo2 platform uses carbon dioxide to trigger a natural reaction called the "Bohr Effect." This tells your body to send a surge of oxygen-rich blood to the skin's surface, which helps stimulate collagen production and gets your cells ready to soak up our customized serums. After the oxygen phase, we apply the **SkinMedica Illuminize Peel**. This is the gentlest of all medical chemical peels, using a smart mix of active ingredients to brighten your skin tone. It’s a great way to help with collagen production while keeping your skin feeling comfortable and looking healthy. #### The Ultimate Multi-Tasker *What Can the Champagne Facial Treat?* This non-invasive treatment is a great multi-tasker. Here in beautiful Scottsdale, we use this facial to help our patients with all sorts of skin concerns: - Dull Skin & Dehydration: It clears away dead skin cells to give you an immediate, radiant complexion. - Uneven Skin Tone: Brightening vitamins and antioxidants help fade dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage. - Fine Lines and Wrinkles: It plumps the skin with hydration to smooth out wrinkles and early signs of aging. - Congestion: The unique exfoliation helps unclog pores and remove dead skin cells to improve skin texture. #### More Than Just Pretty *Benefits of the Champagne Facial* We love this protocol because you get clinical results while you totally relax. It’s the perfect fit for a busy schedule when you need a youthful glow right away. - Instant Red Carpet Ready: Your skin looks vibrant and photo-ready for special occasions the moment you leave. - Collagen Synthesis Support: The oxygen boost helps collagen and elastin grow to keep your skin elasticity high. - No Recovery Time: Most patients don't see any redness or peeling, which is why it’s our favorite secret for weddings. - Total Radiance: It uses exfoliating properties to improve skin texture and your overall skin health. - Inclusive Care: This gentle approach is generally safe for all skin types, including sensitive skin. #### Everyone’s Invited To This *Champagne Facial Candidates* With the **Champagne Facial** Scottsdale area residents have a great fit for almost everyone. Whether you want to address aging skin or you just want to look extra glowy for a spa day, this facial works. It’s a favorite for people who want to improve skin tone but don't want to deal with the recovery time of a stronger facial. We’ll do a quick check during your visit to make sure you don't have any active acne or irritation. It’s a simple, effective way to keep up a youthful appearance and protect your overall skin health at any age. Most patients are good candidates for chemical peels, but the right type and depth depend on your skin condition, goals, and tolerance for downtime. Lighter peels are safe for nearly all skin types, while deeper peels may be best suited for fairer skin tones. A [consultation](/consultation/) at Blume ensures your treatment plan is safe and effective. #### Let’s Get To Know You First *Champagne Facial Consultation and Preparation* At Blume Skin & Body, your experience starts with a relaxed skin analysis. We’ll look at your complexion and talk about your skincare routine to make sure we’re giving you the personalized care you need. We want to be certain the **Champagne Facial in Scottsdale** is the perfect match for your skin concerns. Getting ready is easy. We recommend skipping your strong skincare products, like retinols, for about three to five days before your treatment. You should also avoid a fresh tan and skip any heavy exfoliation at home. Coming in with a clean, makeup-free face helps the vitamins, minerals, and amino acids soak in deep. #### Relax, Let the Magic Work *The Blume Experience: Your Champagne Facial* The **Scottsdale Champagne Facial** feels just as good as it looks. During the Glo2 part, you’ll feel a warm, bubbly fizz on your skin, it feels just like the bubbles in a glass of champagne! This is the skin regeneration process at work, and it’s very refreshing. The SkinMedica Illuminize Peel comes next, and it’s so mild you’ll probably only feel a tiny tingle. We finish the session with personalized care, using a hydrating facial serum full of hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and antioxidants to hydrate and smooth everything out. It’s *a 60-minute break that leaves you looking like your best self*. #### Ready For Your Close-Up *Scottsdale Champagne Facial Recovery & Results* **The Champagne Facial has zero downtime**. You’re ready for photos the second you leave our boutique. You might have a healthy skin "flush" for a few hours, but that quickly turns into a radiant glow. While the immediate boost is great for special occasions, we recommend a monthly maintenance schedule to keep your collagen active for the best long-term results. #### Worth Every Single Drop *Cost of Champagne Facial* Pricing depends on the personalized care you need and the areas we're treating. While one "glow" session is a great pick-me-up, we often recommend an initial series to reach your specific goals for things like sun damage. To help you get that youthful skin, we offer easy [financing](/resources/financing/) through CareCredit and Cherry. #### Skill You Can See. Care You Can Feel. *Why Choose Blume for Your Champagne Facial?* Blume offers a welcoming, private environment where the focus is always on you.

Reach out today for our amazing deal! ### Content #### Scottsdale Latisse Treatments There’s been a growing interest in *Latisse eyelashes* ever since it was introduced. And it’s no wonder. **LATISSE**® is the first and only FDA-approved prescription treatment for inadequate or not enough eyelashes, growing them longer, fuller and darker.* Call us or stop by the office today to get started using this wonderful *eyelash serum* and see the difference! #### Latisse Brings Real, Measurable Growth Latisse works from the inside out. As the treatment progresses, you’ll first begin to see changes in length. Then, gradually, you’ll notice more thickness and darkness in your lashes. If you’re satisfied with your results by week 8, don’t stop there. Stick with the treatment. After week 16, you’ll see the full effect of **Scottsdale Latisse solution** — and so will others. After that, you can talk to your doctor about ongoing use.* #### Latisse has Clinically-Proven Results Other less common Latisse side effects typically occur on the skin close to where LATISSE® is applied, or in the eyes. These include eyelid skin darkening, eye irritation, dryness of the eyes, and redness of the eyelids. Eyelid skin darkening is a result of increased melanin in the skin, making your eyelid skin look a little darker close to where the solution is applied to the skin. This is expected to reverse after several weeks to months if you decide to stop using Latisse eyelashes.* If you’re using LATISSE® solution and you develop a new ocular condition or reaction (e.g., trauma or infection), experience a sudden decrease in visual acuity, or need to have eye surgery, be sure to talk to your doctor immediately concerning the continued use of LATISSE®. In the clinical study, 78% of participants (versus 18% for vehicle) experienced a significant increase in overall eyelash prominence (including elements of length, fullness, and darkness) at week 16. LATISSE® can have some side effects, the most common of which are an itching sensation in the eyes and/or eye redness. These were reported in approximately 4% of patients.* Vehicle is the same solution as LATISSE®, without the active ingredient. Our Latisse clinical study was conducted at 16 sites across the country and included 278 participants, featuring women and men of various ages (22 to 78), backgrounds and eye colors. By week 16, the results showed that LATISSE® was effective for 78% of those participating (vs. 18% for the vehicle group).

Blume Skin & Body is excited to bring you our uniquely designed treatment, **BlumeSculpt Neo**! This combination treatment offers skin tightening, muscle toning, and cellulite reduction in as little as one hour! Merging two powerful FDA-cleared technologies—RF skin tightening and magnetic muscle stimulation—BlumeSculpt Neo provides visible *body contouring* and *improved muscle tone* without surgery or downtime. #### Two Technologies. One Powerful Transformation. *What is BlumeSculpt Neo?* The BlumeSculpt Neo is broken down into two sections: radiofrequency skin tightening and CoolTone®. Radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening delivers heat energy into the skin, which stimulates collagen production to tighten and firm the skin, improving the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagginess. The [CoolTone](/cooltone-by-coolsculpting/)® treatment uses magnetic muscle stimulation to create muscle contractions that strengthen muscle fibers and build muscle mass. Over the 30-minute CoolTone® session, the muscle work is equivalent to 20,000 sit-ups or squats (depending on the area being treated). With a series of sessions, our clients are able to achieve visibly toned and firmed body contours. #### What to Expect *What Is the BlumeSculpt Neo Procedure Like?* During your **Scottsdale BlumeSculpt Neo** procedure, two different applicators will be used, one after the after. Both CoolTone® and RF energy treatments cause only minor discomfort and require no anesthesia or numbing. RF skin tightening feels like a hot stone massage and CoolTone® feels like an intense workout. Each session is 60 – 90 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

This minimally invasive treatment helps improve skin texture, firmness, and overall skin quality with natural-looking results. Collagen Stimulating Threads, also known as *Nova Threads*, are ultra-fine, absorbable sutures made from polydioxanone (PDO). When placed beneath the skin, these threads provide a structural support network and stimulate the body’s natural collagen production. Over time, this process helps improve skin elasticity and firmness for a more youthful, radiant appearance. #### PDO Threads Benefits - Stimulates natural collagen production - Improves skin texture and firmness - Minimally invasive with little to no downtime - Reduce fine lines and wrinkles - Results continue to improve over time [Contact Us](https://blumeskinandbody.zenoti.com/webstoreNew/services?utm_source=7c5106fe25d94f3b9d7c4da38857690d) #### How Do PDO Threads Work? During treatment, a skilled provider carefully inserts Nova Threads under the skin using a fine needle. These threads act as a framework that encourages collagen synthesis, leading to gradual [skin tightening](/ultherapy/) and rejuvenation. The treatment requires minimal downtime, making it a convenient option for those looking to enhance their skin without surgery. #### What to Expect During Treatment Before the **PDO thread lift** procedure, a local anesthetic is applied to ensure your comfort. The threads are then strategically placed in targeted areas to maximize collagen stimulation. The entire process typically takes between 15-50 minutes, depending on the treatment area. #### PDO Threads Results and Recovery Since this is a minimally invasive treatment, there is little to no downtime. Some mild swelling or bruising may occur, but these effects typically subside within a few days. As the **PDO threads gradually dissolve over 4-6 months**, collagen production continues, with visible improvements lasting up to 18 months. #### Schedule a Scottsdale PDO Threads Consultation At Blume Skin & Body, our experienced providers are trained in the latest collagen-stimulating treatments.

Call us at (480) 699-7999! ### Content #### What is Laser Hair Removal? If you are tired of daily waxing, shaving, and plucking, **laser hair removal** can give you smooth skin by significantly reducing that unwanted hair. Reduce *body hair* and *facial hair* in only a few painless treatment sessions with no downtime. At Blume Skin & Body, we rely on **LightSheer**® from **Lumenis** who have been pioneers in male and female hair removal for 50 years. LightSheer® uses precise laser energy to *target and heat multiple hair follicles at once*. This laser energy generates heat as it is absorbed by the melanin in the root of each hair follicle. A unique computer-guided scanner is also used to ensure your skin and the treatment area are evenly treated. LightSheer® can be used almost anywhere on the body and can even target hormonal hair growth from polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Unlike other hair removal methods that can only target dark hair on light skin, LightSheer® is effective for everyone. #### Laser Hair Removal Benefits With our **laser hair removal** Scottsdale area patients can typically expect the following types of benefits: - Generally safe for all skin tones and hair types - Significantly reduce unwanted hair anywhere on the body - Minimal discomfort during and after treatment - Long-lasting results [Contact Us](https://blumeskinandbody.zenoti.com/webstoreNew/services?utm_source=7c5106fe25d94f3b9d7c4da38857690d) #### What to Expect with Laser Hair Removal Before **laser hair removal treatment**, you must avoid sun exposure for two weeks. Your skin should also be free of any active infections, open wounds, and inflammation. At the time of your hair removal procedure, your certified laser technician will adjust the technology to give you the procedure. For large treatment areas (back, stomach, legs, etc.), high-speed vacuum-assisted technology is used. For smaller, delicate areas like the upper lip or bikini line, your provider will use a cooled sapphire tip with ChillTipTM technology. Treatment is not painful, and most patients describe the laser as the feeling of a rubber band snapping. #### Laser Hair Removal Results and Recovery After **laser hair removal**, minor redness and swelling around the hair follicles is common and will resolve within a few days. During the weeks after each treatment, hairs will be shed from the treated area. Because hair regrows at different rates, a series of laser treatments are required. Noticeable hair reduction is typically seen after the third or fourth treatment, with *optimal results usually achieved after 4–6 sessions*. If hair grows back in the treated area, it is typically much finer and lighter than before. #### Schedule a Laser Hair Removal Consultation If you are tired of the daily maintenance for unwanted hair, consider **Scottsdale laser hair removal** with our laser specialists at Blume Skin & Body. You can schedule a [consultation](/consultation/) by filling out an online contact form or calling our office in Scottsdale, AZ. #### "Blume Gives Real Results!" --- ## Microneedling **Link:** [Microneedling](https://blumeskintreatment.com/microneedling/) ([md](https://blumeskintreatment.com/microneedling/index.html.md)) **Type:** Service **Description:** Improve skin texture, reduce scars, and boost collagen with Scottsdale microneedling at Blume Skin & Body. Natural results with minimal downtime. ### Content #### Smooth, Renew, and Restore *Microneedling at Blume Skin & Body* When your skin feels dull, uneven, or marked by fine lines and scars, microneedling offers a natural way to reset. At Blume Skin and Body in Scottsdale, our expert providers use advanced **microneedling** devices to stimulate your skin’s own healing response. The result is smoother texture, improved tone, and a youthful glow, all with minimal downtime. #### Collagen From Within *What Is Microneedling?* Microneedling is a non-surgical treatment that creates thousands of controlled micro-injuries in the skin using fine, sterile needles. These tiny channels activate the body’s natural healing process, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin—two proteins responsible for firm, youthful skin. Unlike over-the-counter tools, **professional microneedling** at Blume penetrates to the optimal depth for results while remaining safe and comfortable. It’s a proven option for anyone looking to improve skin quality without aggressive peels or lasers. #### Comfort, Care, and Precision *What Is the Microneedling Procedure Like?* A typical session begins with a gentle cleansing and application of a topical numbing cream to keep you comfortable. Using a precision device, your provider glides the microneedling tool across the treatment area, creating microchannels that prompt renewal. **Most treatments take 30–45 minutes**, depending on the area. Afterward, a soothing serum or growth-factor solution may be applied to enhance results and calm the skin. Many patients describe the experience as feeling like light sandpaper across the skin with minimal discomfort. #### Add on Exosomes for an Elevated Microneedling Treatment *Exosomes* are nanoparticles or microscopic vesicles naturally secreted by cells and they play a crucial role in intercellular communication and tissue regeneration. They are composed of proteins, lipids, amino acids, peptides, and growth factors. When combined with **microneedling treatments**, exosomes penetrate more deeply into the skin through the tiny channels created by the microneedling device. The introduction of exosomes into the dermal layers encourages skin repair for a quicker recovery and stimulates new collagen and elastin, which are essential for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. As a result, exosome therapy can significantly improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and hydrate the skin for a brighter complexion. Exosomes are applied topically so there is **no additional downtime** or recovery for your microneedling with exosomes treatment. #### A Versatile Solution for Common Issues *What Conditions Does Microneedling Address?* **Microneedling** is highly versatile and can improve a range of common concerns, including: - Fine lines and early wrinkles - Acne scars and other superficial scarring - Large or visible pores - Rough or uneven skin texture - Hyperpigmentation and sun damage - Stretch marks on the body #### Stretch Marks, Scars, and More *What Areas of the Body Can Microneedling Address?* Most often used on the face, microneedling can also be performed on the neck, décolletage, and even areas of the body with stretch marks or scarring. #### Natural Renewal With Noticeable Results *What Are the Benefits of Microneedling?* When it comes to **microneedling** Scottsdale patients typically receive several benefits: - **Boosts Collagen:** Stimulates the body's natural collagen production, leading to firmer, smoother skin. - **Improves Skin Concerns:** Effectively reduces the appearance of scars and pores, and enhances overall skin texture. - **Versatile:** Suitable for most skin types and tones. - **Minimally Invasive:** Requires little downtime. - **Customizable:** Results can be amplified with PRF, growth factors, or various topical boosters. #### Give Your Skin A Treat *Am I a Candidate for Microneedling?* Microneedling is safe for nearly all skin types and ages. It’s ideal for patients who want visible improvements in tone and texture without the downtime of lasers or peels. If you’re pregnant, have active acne, eczema, or certain skin conditions, your provider may recommend postponing treatment. A [consultation](/consultation/) at Blume Skin and Body will help determine the right plan for you. #### The Return to Glow *Microneedling Recovery* Immediately after your session, your skin may appear flushed or pink, similar to a mild sunburn. Some patients notice light swelling or sensitivity for a day or two. Makeup should be avoided for 24 hours, and diligent sun protection is a must while your skin heals. *Most patients are back to their normal routine within a day or two*. #### Results That Improve Over Time *Microneedling Results* Most patients **notice an initial glow within a few days**, with continued improvement over the following weeks as collagen remodeling takes place. Results can last 6–12 months, especially with a series of treatments and good skincare habits. Many patients choose seasonal or quarterly microneedling sessions to maintain their results. #### Confidence, Crafted by Blume *Why Choose Blume Skin and Body for Scottsdale Microneedling?* For over 15 years, Blume Skin and Body has been [Scottsdale’s trusted boutique medspa](/), delivering natural, refined results in a private and welcoming environment.

Call (480) 699-7999 for incredible results! ### Content #### What is Cryotherapy? **Cryotherapy is a non-surgical approach for getting rid of skin tags, warts, and blemishes like sunspots or age spots**. If you want a quick treatment with long-lasting results, you may be the perfect candidate for cryotherapy. Cryotherapy is a cosmetic treatment that uses extremely cold temperatures (usually from liquid nitrogen) to freeze benign lesions, *skin tags*, and small warts. The **CryoProbe**® is a pen-like device that delivers the extreme cold to the treatment site with a more precise, less painful cryotherapy treatment. Nitrous oxide capsules are used instead of liquid nitrogen. Different-sized applicators can be used depending on the size of the treatment area so that the surrounding skin is not damaged. #### Cryotherapy Benefits - Non-surgical skin tag and wart removal - Minimally painful - Achieve smooth, unblemished skin [Contact Us](https://blumeskinandbody.zenoti.com/webstoreNew/services?utm_source=7c5106fe25d94f3b9d7c4da38857690d) #### What to Expect with Cryotherapy **Cryotherapy treatment** is recognized as a no-pain treatment with no preparation and no follow-up care required. By pointing the CryoProbe’s micro-fine jet of nitrous oxide directly onto the lesion the application is accurate to the millimeter and treats only the abnormal tissue resulting in minor discomfort to the patient. No anesthesia is necessary during Cryotherapy treatment. Because CryoProbe treatments are not unpleasant, the patient will allow for a longer and deeper freeze. This will result in more effective treatment with fewer repeat visits. #### Cryotherapy Results and Recovery The precision CryoProbe® allows the clinician to be as accurate as possible, and *the procedure requires virtually no downtime*. However, it is common for the treated area to sting slightly and scab over after treatment. **Cryotherapy** rarely leaves scarring and even works on delicate areas, helping restore your confidence in your skin. #### Schedule a Scottsdale Cryotherapy Consultation At Blume Skin & Body, we rely on the latest and most effective medical technology for our patients. **Cryotherapy is a way to permanently get rid of warts and skin tags** – a common skin concern that many people feel self-conscious about.

Call us at (480) 699-7999! ### Content #### What is DermaSweep? If you want to restore overall skin health and improve the appearance of aging skin, **DermaSweep** has endless benefits for a variety of skin concerns. DermaSweep is similar to microdermabrasion except it uses a vacuum-like device to lift the skin and then brushes away dead skin cells on the top layer of skin. Small bristles are used instead of crystal particles which makes it a safer treatment for people with sensitive skin types. This gentle suctioning of the skin stimulates blood flow and collagen development while cleaning out clogged pores. Your skin will feel firmer and look brighter after treatment. #### DermaSweep Benefits - Treat early signs of aging - Brighten dull, dead skin - Repair sun-damaged skin and scarring - Improve uneven skin tone and texture [Contact Us](https://blumeskinandbody.zenoti.com/webstoreNew/services?utm_source=7c5106fe25d94f3b9d7c4da38857690d) #### What to Expect with DermaSweep During your **Scottsdale DermaSweep treatment**, different bristles can be used to make your treatment comfortable. Coarse bristles can treat rough skin while gentle bristles are safe for the delicate, thin skin around your eyes. As the bristles scrub away your skin’s dead cells on the surface, the vacuum will lightly remove them from the skin. Infusion therapy can also be incorporated with your DermaSweep MD treatment. #### DermaSweep Results and Recovery **Most patients require a series of DermaSweep treatments** to achieve optimal results. Your skin will immediately feel smoother and healthier; these benefits will build after each treatment. Your newly rejuvenated skin and unclogged pores will also be better able to absorb beneficial skin products like hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and peptides containing growth factors to improve collagen production. #### Schedule a Scottsdale DermaSweep Consultation **DermaSweep** can treat a variety of skin issues and help you achieve radiant skin.

Call us at (480) 699-7999! ### Content #### Clearer Skin With Light-Based Acne Treatments *Photofacial BBL at Blume Skin and Body* Acne is one of the most common skin concerns, and it can affect patients well beyond their teen years. Whether you’re dealing with facial acne, swollen acne lesions, or acne scars, Blume Skin and Body in Scottsdale offers Photofacial Acne Treatment using BBL (Broadband Light). This noninvasive solution harnesses the power of intense pulsed light (IPL therapy) to calm active breakouts, improve skin texture, and reduce long-term scarring. This advanced approach to skin and acne treatments not only helps target overactive oil glands and certain acne bacteria but also supports the healing process by stimulating skin cells to repair and rejuvenate. With just a few sessions, many patients see dramatic improvement in breakouts, tone, and overall clarity. #### A Smarter Way to Treat Acne *What is Photofacial Acne Treatment?* **Photofacial acne treatment** utilizes Forever Clear’s Broad Band Light (BBL™) technology as an alternative to medications like Accutane. BBL™ uses short wavelengths in the blood light spectrum. These blue light rays can effectively target acne-causing bacteria and reduce excess sebum oil – two key causes of acne. - **Blue light:** penetrates the skin to kill **certain acne bacteria** that cause breakouts. - **Yellow light:** reduces inflammation by **targeting blood vessels** that feed **swollen acne lesions**. Unlike oral antibiotics or harsh topicals, this light-based therapy works directly at the skin level, calming breakouts while encouraging **natural skin repair**. It’s effective for **facial acne** and can also be used on other areas like the chest, back, and shoulders. #### What to Expect *What is the Photofacial Acne Treatment Like?* The **BBL Photofacial** has many benefits: it’s fast, non-invasive, and requires no downtime. Your session at Blume Skin and Body is comfortable and straightforward: - **Preparation:** The skin is cleansed, and a **protective cooling gel** is applied to the **skin’s surface**. - **Treatment Begins:** A **Photofacial/BBL device** delivers controlled pulses of **intense light** to the treatment area. These **IPL flashes** penetrate the skin, destroying bacteria, reducing inflammation, and calming sebaceous activity. Collagen and elastin are also stimulated to give your skin a firmer, brighter complexion. - **Comfort:** A **numbing cream** may be applied if needed, though most patients report only **mild pain** or warmth, similar to a **mild sunburn**. As the top layers of the skin are heated, you may feel a slight stinging sensation as skin blemishes on the surface are destroyed. Your *Scottsdale Photofacial acne treatment* can take as little as 30 minutes, depending on the **patient’s acne condition** and **exact treatment needed**. #### Photofacial Patient Results #### A Clearer Approach to Common Skin Conditions *What Skin Concerns Does BBL Acne Treatment Address?* **IPL and BBL treatments** are highly effective for improving: - **Active breakouts** and **severe acne** - **Swollen acne lesions** - **Acne scars** and lingering redness - **Oily skin** caused by **overactive sebaceous glands** - **Skin discoloration** from breakouts - Combination concerns like **sun damage, freckles, redness, and age spots** Because this therapy also supports **collagen production** and **healthy cell production**, patients often notice improvements in overall tone, texture, and **youthful appearance**. #### Beyond the Face *What Areas Can Photofacial Acne Treatment Address?* Common **treatment areas** include: - Face (cheeks, forehead, chin) - Neck and jawline - Chest and shoulders - Back The therapy can also be combined with other **skin treatments**, such as **laser resurfacing** for **acne scars** or **laser hair removal** for patients with unwanted hair contributing to clogged pores. #### From Breakout Control to Skin Renewal *What Are the Benefits of IPL Acne Therapy?* - Quick treatment with no downtime - Improve redness and inflammation - Reduce acne breakouts - **Targets bacteria and oil glands** at the root cause of acne - Improves **skin texture** and reduces scarring - Reduces redness and inflammation from **swollen acne lesions** - Safe, effective, and **skin safe** for **lighter skin tones** and many others - Requires **minimal discomfort** and no significant downtime - Provides **remarkable results** in **just a few sessions** - ****Complements other **skin rejuvenation** and **acne removal treatments** Our photofacial acne treatment offers numerous benefits, including: [Contact Us](https://blumeskinandbody.zenoti.com/webstoreNew/services?utm_source=7c5106fe25d94f3b9d7c4da38857690d) #### The Blume Difference in Skin and Acne Solutions *Am I a candidate for Photofacial Acne Treatment?* **Most patients** struggling with acne are good candidates, especially those who: - Have not responded well to topical or oral treatments - Experience frequent breakouts and **oily skin** - Have **acne scars** or redness that lingers after healing - Want a **noninvasive skin treatment** with **minimal pain** and downtime During your consultation, we’ll review your **skin type**, **medical history**, and daily skincare routine—including whether you use a **skin daily wash** or **post-treatment products**—to determine the **exact treatment course** needed. #### Easy Aftercare Patients Love *IPL Acne Treatment Recovery* After this laser treatment, minor redness and swelling are common for 1-2 days. For optimal results, a series of 8 weekly treatments is recommended along with maintenance treatments every 1-2 months depending on the severity of your acne. We recommend avoiding **tanning beds** and direct **sun exposure** during the healing period, and always using **at least an SPF 30** for sun protection. Following your provider’s instructions and using recommended **post treatment products** will help support the **healing process**. #### Results Without Harsh Side Effects *Photofacial Acne Treatment Results* *Patient Review* [Read Reviews](/testimonials/) #### Schedule a Consultation *Why Choose Blume Skin and Body for Photofacial Acne Treatment in Scottsdale?* At Blume Skin & Body, you can expect skilled, compassionate, and effective care for your BBL acne treatment.

Call us at (480) 699-7999! ### Content #### What is RF Body Contouring? **Radiofrequency (RF) body contouring** and [skin tightening](/ultherapy/) can give you a body lift without the need for invasive surgical methods or extensive downtime. *Radiofrequency treatments* use RF energy to tighten and tone deep tissues, stimulate collagen production, and eliminate stubborn fat. These treatments can be used to improve fine lines and wrinkles, reduce cellulite, lift sagging skin, and redefine your natural contours. RF treatment is safe for almost any area of the body and is especially effective on the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and hips. Excess fat or loose skin under the chin and on the back of the arms can also be targeted. RF energy generates thermal heat that triggers your body’s natural healing response and the growth of collagen fibers. Collagen and elastin are two proteins in your skin that give it structure and support. As the skin ages, collagen production decreases and this results in skin laxity, lines, and wrinkles. Stimulating the growth of new collagen will tighten the skin for a firmer, lifted appearance. #### RF Body Contouring Benefits - Contour all areas of the face and body - Non-surgical fat reduction - Minimal downtime and recovery [Contact Us](https://blumeskinandbody.zenoti.com/webstoreNew/services?utm_source=7c5106fe25d94f3b9d7c4da38857690d) #### What to Expect with RF Body Contouring Depending on the area being treated, **your Scottsdale RF Body Contouring can take anywhere from 30-60 minutes**. An RF-generating applicator will be placed over the skin, and you will feel a warm sensation as it gently heats the subdermal fat and dermal layers of the skin tissue. This is a relaxing procedure with no pain. #### RF Body Contouring Results and Recovery Since **radiofrequency body treatments are non-invasive**, there is no downtime or recovery required. The only effects you might feel after treatment are minor redness and swelling. The number of treatment sessions needed varies among each patient, but most patients require a few treatments scheduled a few weeks apart for optimal results. #### Schedule a Consultation The benefits of **RF Body Contouring** is endless!

Find out more! ### Content **Moxi Laser and Photofacial Treatments **– the perfect treatment for everybody Photofacials have been a trending topic amidst the aesthetic and beauty world for many years and have been recently gaining even more popularity. This treatment was invented in the 90’s and it has come a long way, PhotoFacial, IPL and BBL HERO are all terms for light energy delivered safely to the skin. At Blume Skin & Body, we are no strangers to photofacials, our office has the Lumenis M22 IPL, Sciton Joule BBL and two Sciton Mjoules with in motion BBL HERO and the MOXI laser. Our expert Certified Laser Technicians have been able to offer many more options in terms of light and laser treatments to lift pigment, smooth out wrinkles, get rid of unwanted texture, and clear blemishes for the face and body. Read on to learn more about the different treatment options available with this one machine and which one may be right for you #### IPL/BBL Photofacial Treatments One of the newest treatments available is BBL with the Sciton Mjoule. Many patients are familiar with the IPL (or Intense Pulsed Light) treatment, and the BBL Photofacial is very similar with the updated Broad Band Light technology. At Blume Skin & Body, the BBL Photofacial is our most popular treatment because it covers a wide array of our clients’ concerns. In Arizona especially, the sun causes so much damage to the skin, resulting in collagen destruction, added wrinkles, sun spots, and broken capillaries – all of which the BBL, [IPL Photofacial](/ipl-bbl-laser/) can treat. **Photofacials produce amazing results for those battling pigmentation issues**, including sun damage, rosacea, acne scarring, and more. Interestingly enough, photofacials have also been shown to treat dry eyes because it reduces inflammation and vascular activity around the tear duct. The Lumenis M22 IPL has gotten FDA Clearance for this amazing treatment to help with inflammation and dry eye. Check out the information on the Beautiful Eyes Treatment on our website for more information. The Photofacial is quick, comfortable and produces amazing results from the first treatment. Patients will experience a bit of redness and perhaps swelling on day one, which will reduce quickly and in the following days, dark spots will begin to lift from the face and eventually slough away. #### Forever Body BBL Chest, arms, shoulders, legs and more can all be treated with ease because of the in-motion attachments on the Mjoule machine. The Forever Body BBL treatment is comfortable and quick, with little downtime, just like Photofacials! Also recommended in a series of three treatments, the Forever Body BBL can help reduce vascular issues, redness, and dark spots to improve signs of aging anywhere on the body. Results are seen within 2 – 4 weeks. The **Sciton Mjoule** also allows us to recreate the stunning results of a Photofacial all over the body with the Forever Body BBL. #### Forever Clear BBL Over 50% of Americans struggle with acne, but with Forever Clear BBL treatments, acne can be controlled without the use of topical creams or prescriptions. This treatment can also be done with the Sciton Mjoule, Lumenis M22 or Sciton Joule, and *utilizes three different wavelengths of light to kill p.acne bacteria that causes breakouts, calm down redness and reduce inflammation*. Patients who struggle with acne can receive these treatments 1 – 2 times a week and will begin to see results soon. Multiple treatments will most likely be needed, but fortunately these treatments are quick, comfortable and do not require any downtime! #### Moxi + BBL Photofacial The BBL Photofacial treatments have excellent results with little downtime, but it does have a few limitations. Those with certain skin conditions like Melasma, or darker skin tones would not be a candidate for the BBL treatments. However, that is where the Moxi laser treatment comes into play! The Moxi treatment is unique because it is safe for all skin types, allowing the providers at Blume Skin & Body to treat even more patients. The Moxi Laser treatment is a 1927 true laser that can help even out tone and texture of skin, induce collagen production, decrease pore size, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and the Moxi can even picks up on complicated pigment that the Photofacial may miss.

[Venus Legacy](/non-surgical-mommy-makeover/) is a non-surgical body contouring procedure that can lift and tighten loose skin almost anywhere on the body. If you want to enhance your contours and achieve a more youthful, toned appearance, you will love the results of Venus Legacy treatments. Venus Legacy is a non-invasive treatment that combines multi-polar radio frequency energy with magnetic pulses. This combination of technologies is called (MP)² and it allows for deep tissue rejuvenation of the face, neck, arms, thighs, abdomen, and buttocks. (MP)² generates thermal heat that stimulates the body’s natural healing response and the growth of new collagen and elastin fibers. Collagen and elastin give the skin a firm, elastic texture and with the new growth, [skin tightening](/ultherapy/), wrinkle reduction, and cellulite reduction are all possible. When the skin is heated, stress hormones are also released and these attach to receptors on fat cells in the deepest layer of the skin (hypodermis). Once attached to the receptors, a hormone that breaks down triglycerides into free fatty acids is activated. As free fatty acids are released from the fat cells and into the bloodstream, fat is reduced, and you can achieve a smooth, contoured shape. #### Venus Legacy Benefits - Lift and tighten sagging skin - Soften severe facial wrinkles - Cellulite reduction [Contact Us](https://blumeskinandbody.zenoti.com/webstoreNew/services?utm_source=7c5106fe25d94f3b9d7c4da38857690d) #### What to Expect You will receive treatment in one of our comfortable treatment rooms where you can relax during this painless treatment. Your provider will apply a treatment gel to the skin which helps the applicator glide across the skin with smooth and consistent movements. There are various-sized applicators that can be used depending on the size of the treatment area. Patients often compare their Venus Legacy treatment to a hot stone massage. #### Venus Legacy Results and Recovery Since this is a completely non-invasive procedure, there is no recovery or downtime needed. Results will develop in about 3 months as collagen rebuilds and fat is flushed from the treatment area. Results are long-lasting and can be maintained with a few touch-up appointments every year. #### Schedule a Consultation If you want to tone your appearance and eliminate signs of aging without the need for surgery, schedule a [consultation](/consultation/) for Venus Legacy at Blume Skin & Body. #### “Blume Gives Real Results!” [Read Reviews](/testimonials/) --- ## Undereye Filler **Link:** [Undereye Filler](https://blumeskintreatment.com/volbella-undereye-filler/) ([md](https://blumeskintreatment.com/volbella-undereye-filler/index.html.md)) **Type:** Service **Description:** Reveal captivating eyes at Blume Skin & Body, Scottsdale's premier med spa. Experience stunning undereye filler results with Volbella. Call (480) 699-7999! ### Content #### What is Undereye Filler? Juvéderm Volbella XC is the first dermal filler approved for *tear trough repair* or *undereye treatment*. This dermal **undereye filler** is a great choice for volume restoration almost anywhere on the face and can give you a more youthful appearance by improving the appearance of undereye bags. Juvéderm Volbella is a hyaluronic acid filler that was first FDA-approved for lip augmentation and correction of wrinkles on the chin and around the mouth. It is now approved for under-eye tear trough repair! Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in your body that gives the skin support and structure for a glowing, firm texture. VYCROSS technology blends hyaluronic acid with a lower molecular weight that gives Volbella a softer, smoother consistency perfect for the delicate skin around the eyes. Volbella fills in the tear troughs and adds volume to create a smoother appearance that “covers up” under eye hollows. Under eye hollows can create an aged or tired appearance so Volbella filler is a great way to give you a brighter, younger look. #### Volbella® Under Eyes Benefits - Refreshed appearance - Smooth under eyes - Thin consistency reduces swelling - Improved appearance of dark circles [Contact Us](https://blumeskinandbody.zenoti.com/webstoreNew/services?utm_source=7c5106fe25d94f3b9d7c4da38857690d) #### What to Expect with Undereye Filler? **Under eye fillers** need to be injected carefully so it is important you received treatment from an experienced injector. At Blume Skin & Body, all of our injectors have received extensive training so you can trust that your treatment is safe and you will achieve great results. Volbella injections are minimally painful, but a topical numbing cream can be applied at the start of our appointment to keep you as comfortable as possible. *The entire procedure takes less than 30 minutes*. #### Under Eye Filler Results and Recovery Minor bruising and swelling are possible but will reduce within a few days. To reduce the risk of bruising, it is recommended that you avoid strenuous activity for 48 hours after your Volbella treatment since exercise can increase blood flow, causing bruises to develop. You will see some immediate changes that can continue to improve for 2 weeks. **Volbella under eye filler** lasts for up to 18 months so you can enjoy beautiful results with fewer maintenance treatments. #### Schedule a Scottsdale Undereye Filler Consultation Our experienced injectors offer a wide variety of [dermal fillers](/dermal-fillers/) and injectables that can slow down the natural aging process, improving volume loss, fine lines, and wrinkles.

Discover incredible results. Call (480) 699-7999 now for a new you. ### Content #### Smooth, Firm, and Rejuvenate *RF Microneedling at Blume Skin and Body* Aging, sun damage, and acne scars can leave the skin looking uneven, loose, and less radiant over time. At Blume Skin and Body in Scottsdale, we offer **RF microneedling** treatment. This next-generation cosmetic procedure combines the precision of microneedle penetration with the deep stimulation of radiofrequency energy. This minimally invasive treatment remodels the skin’s structure from the inside out, helping to boost collagen production, improve skin texture, and restore firmness, allowing you to achieve youthfully sculpted contours without downtime or surgical procedures. By creating tiny wounds at the skin’s surface while delivering radiofrequency waves into the deeper layers, this advanced therapy stimulates the body’s natural healing process and encourages the growth of healthy new skin. The result: *tighter, smoother skin with fewer wrinkles*, improved tone, and long-lasting skin rejuvenation. #### The Technology That Builds Beautiful Skin *What is RF Microneedling?* *Microneedling with skin tightening* uses radiofrequency energy (RF) microneedling to lift and tighten the skin for a more youthful appearance. Specially insulated needles are used to deliver radiofrequency energy that heats the deep dermal layers of the skin while the tiny micro needles puncture the skin. - **Microneedling:** **Tiny needles** puncture the **skin’s surface**, creating microchannels that stimulate **collagen and elastin production**. - **Radiofrequency waves:** Delivered into the **deeper layers**, RF gently heats tissue to **remodel collagen**, **stimulate elastin**, and tighten **sagging skin**. These small wounds, combined with RF energy, stimulate the body’s natural healing process and the stimulation of collagen and elastin, two proteins that give the skin structure and firmness. As new, healthy cells are turned over, skin tone and texture in the treated area are improved. #### What to Expect *What is RF Microneedling Like?* At Blume Skin & Body, we use **Legend Pro VoluDerm**, a top-of-the-line technology for our *Scottsdale RF microneedling*. To ease any discomfort during treatment, a topical numbing cream will be applied to the skin. The microneedling device is then moved across the skin as the small needles puncture the targeted tissue and create microchannels in the skin. **Add on Exosomes for an Elevated Microneedling Treatment** Exosomes are nanoparticles or microscopic vesicles naturally secreted by cells, and they play a crucial role in intercellular communication and tissue regeneration. They are composed of proteins, lipids, amino acids, peptides, and growth factors. When combined with microneedling treatments, exosomes penetrate more deeply into the skin through the tiny channels created by the microneedling device. The introduction of exosomes into the dermal layers encourages skin repair for a quicker recovery and stimulates new collagen and elastin, which are essential for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. As a result, exosome therapy can significantly improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and hydrate the skin for a brighter complexion. Exosomes are applied topically, so there is no additional downtime or recovery for your microneedling with exosomes treatment. #### Targeting Texture, Tone, and Tightness *What Skin Concerns Does RF Microneedling Treat?* This is a versatile skin-tightening treatment that can address both texture and laxity. **RF microneedling** Scottsdale patients find it especially useful for sun-related skin concerns and early structural changes that show up in the face, neck, and body. - Fine lines and wrinkles, including crow’s feet and early creasing in facial skin - Sagging skin and skin laxity in the face, neck, jawline, and certain areas of the body - Acne scars and post-inflammatory scarring that sit below the skin surface - Stretch marks with uneven texture - Sun damage and uneven skin tone related to chronic sun exposure - Rough skin texture and large pores - Early signs of aging, including dullness, mild loosening, and loss of firmness #### Full-Body Skin Confidence *What Areas Can RF Microneedling Treat?* RF microneedling can treat more than one zone of the **skin’s surface**. Because the device can be adjusted based on tissue thickness and skin condition, it works well across several facial and body treatment areas. - Mid and Lower Face: Helps improve fine lines, large pores, mild sagging skin, and overall skin texture - Neck and Jawline: Often used for crepey skin, early skin laxity, and a less defined lower face - Chest and Décolletage: Useful for rough texture, fine wrinkling, and signs of sun exposure - Abdomen: Can help improve mild laxity and stretch mark texture - Arms and Thighs: May be treated when the goal is smoother skin surface and modest tightening Your provider will determine which areas can be safely treated in a single session and whether your goals are best addressed with one treatment area or a series. #### Collagen Stimulation & Lasting Firmness *What are the Benefits of RF Microneedling?* RF microneedling has practical benefits that patients can actually see and feel. It improves skin texture on the surface while also supporting collagen production deeper in the tissue, which is why results tend to keep building after the appointment. Some key benefits of **RF Microneedling** *Skin Tightening* include: - Safe for many skin types and skin tones - Softens fine lines and wrinkles - Improves the appearance of acne scars and textural scarring - Helps smooth stretch marks - Stimulates **collagen and elastin production** for longer-term skin rejuvenation - Provides **non-surgical skin tightening** for mild to moderate skin laxity - Allows depth and energy to be adjusted for different **skin types**, concerns, and treatment areas - Involves less downtime than more invasive procedures - Supports tighter skin, smoother tone, and overall skin texture improvement RF microneedling has practical benefits that patients can actually see and feel.
