IPL

WHAT IS IPL?
If you're dissatisfied by dark spots, signs of aging, or sun damage in your complexion, BioWell Therapeutics can perform a skin analysis at our Huntsville, AL office to determine if you will benefit from IPL (intense pulsed light) therapy with the advanced Alma Harmony XL PRO platform. This cutting-edge IPL photofacial is a treatment that rejuvenates the skin of adults with areas of hyperpigmentation throughout their face and neck. IPL may not be an invasive process, but it can be very effective and produce impressive outcomes. Skilled physician Dr. Daniel Skinner utilizes state-of-the-art technology to send intense pulses of light that warm the skin, encouraging the natural healing process and increasing the production of collagen. In time, you should notice a healthier complexion with a more radiant tone and fewer dark spots.


HOW DOES IPL WORK?
A Harmony XL PRO IPL photofacial is completed inside our Huntsville, AL office in around 20 – 30 minutes. To start the procedure, our technician will wash and dry the skin to be treated before protecting your eyes with special shields. The photofacial is administered using a handheld device that will pass over the skin while emitting intense pulsed light (IPL) and pulsed dye laser energy. While most patients will feel mild discomfort throughout the photofacial, it is usually tolerable for the quick treatment length.


WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF IPL?
Our Huntsville, AL patients who receive IPL therapy talk about a variety of benefits they notice from this treatment, including:
  • Reversal of dark spots, signs of aging, and hyperpigmentation
  • Treatment of various pesky skin conditions, including acne and rosacea
  • Disappearance of visible blood vessels
  • Evening out of skin texture and tone


AM I A CANDIDATE?
An IPL photofacial reaches the deeper layers of your skin to treat multiple complexion concerns, especially damage caused by years of sun exposure, such as sun spots and brown lesions, with little to no recovery needed. The best candidates for IPL at BioWell Therapeutics may have several concerns with their complexion, which may include sun damage, hyperpigmentation, texture, visible pores, melasma, or spider veins, among others. In your initial consultation at BioWell Therapeutics, Dr. Skinner will examine your complexion to determine if you could benefit from an IPL.


WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT AFTER AN IPL TREATMENT?
There is no recovery time associated with an IPL photofacial, so once you're finished you can go back to your regular schedule. You may leave your appointment with your complexion a little red and inflamed. This will go away naturally in several hours — it may be masked with cosmetics if you want. Our team at BioWell Therapeutics advises you to keep an ointment on the treated skin to decrease irritation and promote healing. It may also help to take an anti-inflammatory medicine to help reduce swelling. Over the course of 2 – 5 days, the blemishes that rested under the skin will rise to the surface and begin to flake away. It's very important to keep your skin protected from the sun at all times after a photofacial and to not pick at your skin while it heals. While you will have some noticeable results after your first treatment, your complexion will attain ideal results after multiple IPL treatments. Dr. Skinner suggests approximately 3 – 6 sessions scheduled every four weeks at BioWell Therapeutics.


IPL FAQS
Will I see immediate results from IPL?
Results from IPL treatment are usually gradual. You will not see a dramatic change overnight, but you will start to notice a difference in the appearance of your skin over time. Many patients report that they are happy with their outcomes after several sessions. However, the number of treatments needed depends on your skin type and goals.

What are the expected side effects?
IPL is considered a very safe procedure, but you should be aware of the side effects involved. The most common ones are temporary redness and swelling, which usually dissipate soon after treatment. BioWell Therapeutics can provide you with a list of helpful ways to protect and soothe your skin after each session in Huntsville, AL.

How can I prepare for IPL?
We recommend scheduling a consultation with one of our team members to determine your treatment goals and how IPL can help you achieve them. Avoiding sun exposure prior to treatment will help ensure you achieve the best results possible. UV rays can make your complexion more sensitive and prone to further irritation.



FOR A BALANCED, GLOWING COMPLEXION
You probably didn't think too much about your skin when you were a child, but now that skin damage is developing, like sun spots and other blemishes, you now may be interested in procedures to improve the healthy glow of your skin. We invite you to learn more about our cutting-edge Harmony XL PRO IPL photofacial treatments by calling our Huntsville, AL office and making an appointment for a skin examination with Dr. Skinner.

OUR LASER TATTOO REMOVAL TECHNIQUE

Dr. Skinner will then pass the applicator over the tattooed skin as it emits laser light and pulsing energy. The treatment time varies and depends on the type and size of the treatment area. Sometimes, the tattoo may require multiple sessions before noticeable results can be seen. This will all be discussed with you at your consultation.


LASER TATTOO REMOVAL FAQS

Laser Hair Removal

WHAT IS LASER HAIR REMOVAL?
Laser hair removal is one of the most popular cosmetic treatments in the United States. It's an effective option for the long-term reduction or removal of hair on the face and body. This procedure usually leaves the skin feeling and looking smoother while providing longer-lasting results compared to other methods. Skilled physician Dr. Daniel Skinner at BioWell Therapeutics in Huntsville, AL performs safe and fast laser hair removal services with the cutting-edge Alma Harmony XL PRO platform. This effective treatment helps both men and women achieve smoother skin in multiple areas, including the arms, back, legs, face, chest, and intimate areas.


WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
Habitual waxing and shaving is annoying. Laser hair removal carried out by our experts at BioWell Therapeutics in Huntsville, AL offers a great change to the conventional techniques for getting rid of undesirable hair. Upsides of laser hair removal can be:
  • May be performed on a few areas of your body and for many kinds of hair
  • Makes skin more supple and more moisturized
  • A swift procedure with minimal pain for the majority of individuals
  • Not as repetitive as waxing or plucking
  • Gives long-lasting outcomes
  • Prevents ingrown hairs
  • Acts against hair regrowth between appointments


OUR LASER HAIR REMOVAL TECHNIQUE
During your appointment, you will relax in one of our treatment rooms as the intended areas of your skin are washed to remove oil, dirt, and lotions. For this procedure, a team member will smooth out the skin to provide a clear pathway between the hair follicle root and the laser. The laser beam will focus on and disable the hair follicle, preventing the hair from growing back. On average, you will need 3 – 5 sessions over 3 – 4 weeks to see your best results. Your treatments are staggered to allow the affected areas a chance to heal. This also allows time for follicles in the dormant phase to change to the active growth phase so they can be treated. The Harmony XL PRO laser system we use at BioWell Therapeutics targets the hair follicle alone, which preserves the skin and other tissue in the treated area.


LASER HAIR REMOVAL FAQS
Does laser hair removal hurt?
People experience some discomfort during their first laser hair removal session. However, this usually subsides with each treatment as your skin becomes more accustomed to the laser. Most patients at BioWell Therapeutics find our treatments to be tolerable and more comfortable than other hair removal methods like waxing. Ultimately, the amount of pain you feel depends on your own skin sensitivity.

Will the hair grow back?
Laser hair removal is considered semi-permanent. That means that it will greatly reduce hair growth but not eliminate it completely. Of course, any hairs that pop up will be much easier to manage. Patients in Huntsville, AL, are always welcome to return to our clinic for future treatments if needed.

How do I prepare for laser hair removal?
There is no specific preparation needed for laser hair removal. However, we suggest avoiding sun exposure before your appointment. Sun exposure can increase your skin's sensitivity to the laser and lead to more discomfort. You may also want to avoid using any skincare products that contain retinol, as they also make your skin more sensitive to the laser.



A LONG-TERM SOLUTION FOR HAIR REMOVAL
If you're tired of spending energy, time, and money on plucking, shaving, and waxing, schedule a consultation to hear more information about laser hair reduction treatments at BioWell Therapeutics in Huntsville, AL. Laser hair reduction by Dr. Daniel Skinner will help you achieve skin that's smoother by treating unwanted follicles throughout the body and face. With the advanced Alma Harmony XL PRO system, often fewer treatments are able to achieve superior results compared to other laser hair removal systems.

EMFACE®

WHAT IS EMFACE?
If you find yourself hiding your face or covering it up with makeup due to wrinkles or aging skin, you are not alone. However, Dr. Daniel Skinner and the team at BioWell Therapeutics want you to remember that your wrinkles or loose facial skin can improve. EMFACE®, a brand-new treatment from the makers of EMSCULPT neo, addresses both muscles and skin, whereas most nonsurgical treatments in this category only target one. This treatment utilizes high-intensity facial electrical stimulation (HIFES™) and synchronized radiofrequency (RF) technologies to address wrinkles and lift your face in a natural manner, without using any needles or surgery. Even better, a treatment session can be completed in 20 minutes. If you are interested in learning more about EMFACE in Huntsville, AL, contact BioWell Therapeutics to set up your initial appointment.


AM I A CANDIDATE FOR EMFACE?
EMFACE is meant for individuals who want more lift to their face and would like to decrease the appearance of wrinkles and facial folds. It may work best for those between the ages of 40 and 55. However, even if you do not yet struggle with wrinkles, this procedure may still benefit you. The procedure helps to tone and strengthen muscles, protecting against the development of future wrinkling. If you have any questions about your eligibility for EMFACE or want to learn more, contact BioWell Therapeutics today to see if EMFACE might be right for you and your aesthetic goals.


HOW IS EMFACE PERFORMED?
We encourage our Huntsville, AL patients to think of EMFACE as a facial treatment, meaning you will be able to recline and relax while receiving treatment. It should feel like a soothing, warming sensation on the treatment area. As the device pulses through your skin, it utilizes synchronized RF technology to smooth your skin and encourage collagen and elastin development, while using HIFES technology to target facial tissues through muscle contractions (i.e., like a resistance workout for your facial muscles). The end result leaves your face strengthened, rejuvenated, and ready to improve for the next few months.


WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT AFTER EMFACE TREATMENT?
After your EMFACE session is complete, your face may feel slightly warm and appear slightly pink or red. These effects are normal and may persist for a few hours to a day. However, most patients can immediately resume their everyday activities following an EMFACE treatment. Dr. Skinner typically recommends four EMFACE treatments spaced a week apart for a full treatment plan. You should begin to see your full results 4 – 6 weeks after the last session.


GIVE YOUR FACE A BOOST
EMFACE reduces the energy and time you have to put into achieving a refreshed look. At BioWell Therapeutics, we are thrilled to offer EMFACE to turn back the clock on facial aging in a nonsurgical manner. Contact our office today to set up your consultation with Dr. Skinner or a member of our Huntsville, AL team.
