The skin care specialists at Desert Sands Aesthetics & Laser are committed to facilitating the ultimate spa experience using the latest technology. Owner Shannon Evans takes pride in providing cutting-edge medical aesthetics in a relaxing environment focused on every patient’s comfort and confidence, no matter how personal their needs may be. 

“Everyone has different skin care concerns because no one is the same,” she said. “I consider it an art.”

Over the course of a woman’s life, changes in feminine wellness due to pregnancy, hormonal fluctuations or aging will inevitably occur. Estrogen levels plummet during menopause, causing the vaginal walls to grow thin and dry. This can result in painful intercourse and urinary incontinence due to loss of pelvic support.  

These changes can be uncomfortable, but they are treatable. The CO2RE Intima laser is a quick, safe and effective rejuvenation method proven to enhance both appearance and function, helping women feel more confident about their intimate health.

The CO2RE Intima is designed specifically to meet the needs of vaginal tissue and delivers lasting results without the downtime and risks associated with surgery. Used both internally and externally, treatment results in a noticeable tightening of the entire vaginal canal, increased lubrication and sensation and a gradual reversing of the degenerative changes caused by aging.

Evans said the symptoms of aging skin aren’t life-threatening, but they are quality of life-threatening. The key to growing older with grace is to start treatments that promote healthy tissue earlier rather than later. 

“If patients understood earlier in life that the average person loses collagen at a rate of about 1% per year beginning at age 25, they would be more prone to receiving preventative treatments and using sun protection,” she added.

Preventative treatments stimulate the production of collagen to help rejuvenate thin, saggy skin and soften the development of wrinkles. Desert Sands Aesthetics & Laser also offers preventative Botox and Dysport injections to help create a fresh look and delay the signs of aging.

Creases between the eyes, around the mouth and on the forehead become more pronounced over time as the skin begins to break down faster than it can naturally rejuvenate. Botox injections slow the formation of lines by blocking the signal between facial muscles and the brain, preventing contraction in a localized area. 

Patients of all ages visit Desert Sands Aesthetics & Laser to restore their natural beauty with the help of nonsurgical, noninvasive therapies and medical-grade skin care products. 

It’s never too early to think about sun damage, especially in a hot, dry desert climate like Southern Utah. Daily use of a professional broad-spectrum sunscreen not only reduces the risk of skin cancer but also helps prevent premature wrinkling, pigmentation and loss of elasticity.

Desert Sands Aesthetics & Laser carries zinc-based sunscreen from EltaMD. Zinc reflects and reduces the broadest range of UVA and UVB ultraviolet rays, helping to protect the skin. Wearing a hat on bright days also makes a difference.

“By being proactive with all of these treatments and products, we can slow the aging process and potentially ward off future problems,” Evans said. “Our goal is to help every patient learn to love the skin they’re in.” 

Desert Sands Aesthetics & Laser has established a reputation for excellence since opening its doors in September 2020. Recently, Best of Southern Utah voters awarded the cutting-edge medical spa a gold ribbon in the aesthetics category.

Desert Sands Aesthetics & Laser offers fillers and skin care services for both men and women, including facials, chemical peels, dermaplaning, microneedling and more. It’s also the only medical spa in the St. George area providing comfort sedation from a board-certified anesthesiologist in conjunction with laser skin therapy.
