What is a Medical Spa?

A medical spa, or med spa, combines traditional spa experiences with medical procedures overseen by licensed physicians. These facilities offer a variety of noninvasive cosmetic treatments, such as Botox injections, laser hair removal, and microdermabrasion, to improve skin health and appearance. Unlike conventional spas, medical spas provide more advanced services that require medical expertise. CVLC provides this and more at our Buffalo med spa.

Experience Microdermabrasion at Our Med Spa in Buffalo, NY

Microdermabrasion is a technique for skin refinement developed in the late 1990s. Tiny crystals of aluminum oxide are administered to the surface of the skin at a high flow rate and are then gently vacuumed off. This treatment leads to even, controlled shedding of the aged and sun-damaged skin for a smoother, more polished look. Patients say that makeup is applied more easily, and they appear more youthful. Usually, a series of five to eight sessions performed at two to three-week intervals achieves optimal results. Most patients continue to undergo maintenance enhancement sessions as advised by our physicians.

Explore Glycolic Acid Facials at Our Med Spa in Buffalo, New York

Skin moisture gradually declines as we age. As a result, the skin’s texture and tone lose their radiance, which may cause you to appear older than you are. If you are bothered by your skin's texture, our Williamsville med spa now offers glycolic acid facials to help you achieve a youthful, lustrous complexion.

The Cosmetic Vein & Laser Center specializes in cosmetic laser surgery, cosmetic dermatology, and spider and varicose vein treatment. Our team aims to provide all our guests with an unparalleled treatment experience, placing your safety, satisfaction, and comfort above all else. 

Glycolic acid is a naturally recurring molecule in fruits and sugar cane. When applied, our glycolic acid facial can help improve premature signs of aging in the skin, such as:

  • Fine lines
  • Dark spots
  • Uneven patches
  • Dull tone
  • And more

A fruit-based solution is applied to the treatment area, where it will sit for several minutes. After approximately 3-5 minutes, the glycolic acid solution is rinsed off, gradually improving the smoothness and appearance of your skin.

How Many Glycolic Acid Facials Will I Need?

What Can Microneedling in Buffalo, NY, Treat?

Microneedling with Dermapen may be used to provide:

  • A reduction in wrinkles and fine lines
  • Skin tightening and rejuvenation
  • The improved appearance of acne, surgical, and trauma scars
  • The minimization of stretch marks and hyperpigmentation

The Dermapen provides incredible collagen induction and harnesses the body’s natural ability to regrow and heal the skin after micro-damage. It is an FDA-approved device that provides greater results than a traditional roller and is said to be a more comfortable way to induce collagen. The depth of the needle penetration can be adjusted during the treatment, so the device can easily be worked around sensitive areas with minimal to no discomfort.

How Does the Treatment Work?

The Dermapen is a small hand-held device that contains tiny needles that puncture minuscule channels into your skin. The action of the pen makes your skin think it is being attacked, and this forces it to produce collagen and elastin. Before the treatment, a topical anesthetic cream can be applied to the target area and left to work until your skin has been numbed.

The device has controlled precision, encouraging the three phases of CIT (Collagen Induction Therapy), which ultimately results in new collagen.

  • Phase 1: Injury
  • Phase 2: Tissue proliferation
  • Phase 3: Tissue remodeling
