CONTRIBUTED CONTENT — In the age of remote work and videoconferencing, your face is everything. A dazzling outfit may have been the talk of the office pre-pandemic, but now all eyes are focused on the neck up.
Faces are the only thing people see on Zoom, Skype, FaceTime, Microsoft Teams and so on. And though you’re watching everyone else you talk with, you’re also continuously confronted with your own image and therefore more prone to noticing imperfections.
If your reflection is giving you “Zoom gloom”, consider rejuvenating your skin with laser therapies, facials and injections from Desert Sands Aesthetics & Laser. When you look better, you feel more confident and ready to take on virtual office meetings, job interviews and more.
“Let us help make your first impression your best impression,” owner Shannon Evans said.
The cold, dry winter air can leave skin looking dull and feeling parched. If you’re looking to soften your Zoom face, try a facial. Facials are both relaxing and highly beneficial to your skin. Desert Sands Aesthetics & Laser offers a menu of signature facials curated to address various skin concerns ranging from acne and rosacea to aging and discoloration.
A medical spa facial provides deeper exfoliation than anything you can achieve at home. Exfoliation smooths the skin, unclogs pores, improves the skin’s ability to retain hydration and evens out the overall tone. Evans recommends a monthly facial to accelerate the natural renewal of skin cells, a process that occurs about every 28 days.
When the pandemic put Colleen Rue squarely in front of a webcam for many of her meetings, she started noticing deeper wrinkles and more dark spots. Wanting to refresh her look rather than erase her age, she visited Desert Sands Aesthetics & Laser. Evans and her team of aesthetics experts showed Rue simple treatments to help soften her appearance and brighten her skin – no filter needed!
“I’d never tried laser treatments before coming to Desert Sands,” she said. “The process was easy and even relaxing.”
Most people lose collagen at a rate of about 1% per year after age 25. When it comes to aging skin, prevention is key. Decreasing facial muscle movement with Botox injections slows the formation of lines, including the dreaded “11s”, the vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows that are exaggerated by squinting at a computer or phone screen for hours every day.
Contrary to popular belief, aesthetic care and treatment isn’t just for women, Evans said. Men of all ages visit Desert Sands Aesthetics & Laser to look and feel younger and more confident with simple, noninvasive therapies like Botox and facials.
“Desert Sands focuses on the mechanism and effect of each treatment so that we may pair treatments together to provide an outstanding result,” she added. “We’re continuing to grow and expand our menu of exceptional treatments.”
Along with medical spa services including facials, Botox, fillers, chemical peels, dermaplaning and more, Desert Sands Aesthetics & Laser offers combination laser therapy to promote healthy skin. Evans recommends using laser resurfacing to improve tone and texture in the upper layers of the skin. The CO2RE laser removes layers of skin tissue in a fractionated method, meaning that columns of skin are taken out, but the surrounding skin remains intact to aid in healing.
The CO2RE laser precisely targets and treats the superficial, middle and deep skin layers simultaneously, which Evans said helps provide the most appropriate procedure with the best possible results for each facial area during the same session. Helping to reduce age spots, fine lines, wrinkles, textural irregularities and dull tone as well as improving skin laxity, it’s the best single treatment for advanced skin damage and wrinkling on the market.
Skin will inevitably lose tone and texture as it ages. If you’re seeking to rejuvenate your natural beauty without surgery, Desert Sands Aesthetics & Laser offers combination laser therapy that works naturally to delay the signs of aging. Resurfacing, combined with laser tightening, can change the look and feel of your skin and restore its healthy, youthful glow.
Desert Sands Aesthetics & Laser uses the Profound Lift in conjunction with the CO2RE skin resurfacing system to create what Evans calls “the ultimate rejuvenation treatment,” a targeted attack on problem areas both superficial and structural. Profound targets the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, while the CO2RE laser targets the upper layer of the skin for overall skin tightening and reduction in age spots, lines and wrinkles.
Desert Sands Aesthetics & Laser, a division of Desert Sands Medical Clinics, has been building up steam within the medical aesthetics market since opening in September 2020. During the 2021 Best of Southern Utah contest, voters recognized the clinics with gold and silver ribbons in various health treatment categories.
It’s the only clinic in the St. George area providing comfort sedation from a board-certified anesthesiologist in conjunction with laser skin therapy. Evans and her team of skin care specialists are committed to providing the ultimate patient experience through premium treatments to help roll back the years with far less risk, cost and downtime than cosmetic surgery. Renew your skin and let your natural beauty shine through, both onscreen and off.
“Our goal is to help every patient learn to love the skin they’re in,” she said.
