Facial Aesthetics Treatments in Tulsa, OK
Our facial rejuvenation services include microneedling, Botox, and laser therapy. You can choose a therapy package that includes several of these services:
Microneedling
Collagen induction therapy, or microneedling, is a minimally invasive procedure. It stimulates the body’s natural collagen and elastin production. This treatment can repair and regenerate the skin.
The process involves tiny needles that create thousands of microscopic channels in the skin. This allows products to penetrate deeper and stimulates natural collagen production.
Microneedling treatment can reduce wrinkles, acne scars, and stretch marks. It can also improve skin tone and texture, reduce pore size, and even out skin complexion.
This treatment improves:
- Wrinkles
- Lines
- Skin tone, texture, and color
- Sun-damaged skin
- Scars
- Loose skin
This cosmetic treatment can:
- Even skin tone
- Reduce age spots
- Create smoother skin
- Brighten the skin
Who is a candidate for microneedling?
This treatment is best for healthy patients who want to treat dull skin, scars, enlarged pores, or uneven skin texture. Our office only performs this treatment on adults.
We do not recommend treatment if you have contact dermatitis, keloids, or eczema. We also will not recommend treatment for pregnant or nursing women. If you have a skin infection, please inform us before treatment, as we cannot perform microneedling on infected skin.
Laser Therapy
Laser therapy targets specific areas to volumize skin, tighten it, remove wrinkles, or minimize scars. Dr. Cha performs minimally invasive facial aesthetic treatments using the Fontana two-wavelength laser system.
Two wavelengths increase thermal energy to stimulate collagen and improve the skin.
Laser therapy:
- Reduces baggy eyes
- Refines lines and wrinkles
- Removes scars and spider veins
- Removes unwanted facial hair and moles
- Volumizes lips
LipLase, EyeLase, and VectorLift are also part of laser therapy. A LipLase treatment boosts collagen in the lips to add more volume. EyeLase addresses creases and eye bags to smooth the skin around the eyes.
VectorLift can lift the eyebrows and tighten the eyelids to create a more youthful, smooth eye and eyebrow area. It focuses on the upper face to create a non-surgical yet lifted look.
Is laser therapy painful?
No, skin treatments using lasers are not painful. While you may feel a slight sensation during treatment, we will also numb your skin beforehand. We will also provide protective eyewear to protect your eyes from the laser’s light.
Unlike other plastic surgery lip or eye treatments, laser treatments are non-invasive. After the numbing cream wears off, we will recommend an over-the-counter pain medication and cold compresses. Side effects will wear off after 24 hours.
Botox and Dermal Fillers
Did you know that you can get Botox at the dentist? Botox and fillers are minimally invasive treatments that add volume to key areas of the face. Dermal fillers can:
- Add volume to the lips
- Soften nasolabial folds
- Fill acne scars
- Smooth the under eyes
Juvederm, Perlane, Restylane, and Sculptra are common fillers that Dr. Cha provides to help patients achieve their cosmetic goals. These fillers can provide more youthful-looking skin.
Most fillers work by adding volume to the skin with hyaluronic acid. Fillers like Sculptra help stimulate collagen production, which creates a fuller look.
Like fillers, Botox is an injectable. However, Botox Cosmetic works on the facial muscles. Botox temporarily freezes the facial muscles to reduce wrinkles and lines you make when you smile, frown, or laugh. These lines include:
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines
- Crow’s feet
Additionally, if you have frequent headaches and facial pain, you’re in luck. Botox can also treat TMJ disorders by reducing muscle tension. When injected into the facial muscles, Botox helps relax them. Tension or stress in the facial muscles makes problems like TMJ worse.
How long does it take for Botox to work?
Botox begins to work 24 to 48 hours after treatment. You will see the full effects of Botox after 1 to 2 weeks.
We recommend that you avoid touching your face or lying with your face on a pillow. This will prevent the injections from moving from the injection sites. In addition, do not put pressure on your face within the first 24 hours to allow the Botox to settle in your skin.
