Western Dermatology Consultants Upgrades Morpheus8 and More
24 June 2024 - 7:51PM
When it comes to cosmetic dermatology in Albuquerque, the team at
Western Dermatology Consultants is always seeking to level up the
treatment options available for patients seeking the latest in
care. After adding Morpheus8 microneedling to the service menu in
fall 2023, the practice has now brought in an Optimas device,
enabling them to provide not only the radiofrequency microneedling
of Morpheus8, but also Diolaze for hair removal and Lumecca for
addressing sun damage, redness, and more.
Structure-providing collagen is an important element in the skin
for anyone interested in maintaining a youthful look. Since levels
of the protein drop in the skin over time, signs of aging—including
fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging—begin to appear.
Microneedling and the introduction of radiofrequency energy are
both proven treatments for kickstarting new collagen production to
restore valuable structure. Pairing the two strategies together
improves the results, creating a smoother surface, reducing the
appearance of pores, minimizing acne scars and similar blemishes,
and targeting unwanted wrinkles. The increase in collagen can also
improve contours in the lower and middle face, giving the jawline
and cheekbones more definition.
In addition to triggering collagen production, treatments also
encourage the building of new elastin, which gives the skin a
youthful pliancy.
Lumecca uses intense pulsed light (IPL) to generate heat in
darker-pigmented areas, leading to their destruction. This makes
Lumecca treatments ideal for targeting pigmented lesions, as well
as the redness in visible blood vessels. The heat can also improve
skin texture.
Diolaze focuses power on follicles in areas where patients no
longer want to grow hair. The heat generated by the device is
absorbed by pigmented cells, damaging the follicle and preventing
the future generation of new hair. The results are considered
permanent, which means patients can choose this treatment instead
of a lifetime of shaving, waxing, or plucking.
The Optimas device at Western Dermatology Consultants expands on
the practice’s already lengthy list of treatment offerings,
including a wide range of injectables (wrinkle relaxers, fillers,
etc.), other laser and light options, and more
