Facial Aesthetics now offers tattoo removal to all of our patients. If you have grown tired of a tattoo on your body, our Denver aestheticians can help you get rid of it once and for all.

We use a YAG (Yttrium Aluminum Garnet) Medlite Laser for all of our tattoo removal procedures because it is very effective in removing the pigment from your skin without creating a scar. Our tattoo removal treatment targets the pigment in your skin using a short, powerful, color-controlled light pulse which gets absorbed by the pigmented skin while leaving the surrounding region untouched. Our YAG laser treatment is highly effective on a variety of ink colors and skin tones.

You will require a series of treatments to completely remove the tattoo from your body. Each procedure is customized based on your unique needs. The number of treatments required may vary based on the type of ink and technique used in creating your tattoo. At your initial consultation, our Denver aestheticians will give you a better idea of how many treatments your tattoo removal will take.

You may experience some pain during your tattoo removal treatment. The discomfort is similar to the sensation of a rubber band snap and should be considerably less painful than the original application of your tattoo.

Please contact our Denver aestheticians today to schedule your tattoo removal consultation. Facial Aesthetics serves patients in Denver and Highlands Ranch, Colorado.

Juvederm Formulated with Lidocaine

Allergan has recently released a new formulation of their widely popular dermal filler, Juvederm®. This new formulation, called Juvederm XC, contains lidocaine, a local anesthetic which will numb the treatment area and provide increased comfort during your procedure.

Previous formulations of Juvederm would often require the use of a topical anesthetic to reduce pain at the injection site. These anesthetics would take as long as 30 minutes to start working. In contrast, the lidocaine in Juvederm XC will take effect in a matter of seconds, reducing treatment time as well as the pain associated with your procedure.

In clinical trials, 93% of patients reported less pain when using Juvederm XC compared with the original formulation of Juvederm.

Several other dermal fillers, including Restylane® and Perlane®, have also received FDA approval for lidocaine formulations. Restylane-L and Perlane-L both contain lidocaine to improve comfort during your treatment. Clinical trials for both of these fillers demonstrated a substantial reduction in pain associated with the procedure. Approximately 72% of patients using Restylane-L reported less pain than those using Restylane, and 95% of Perlane-L patients reported a reduction in pain compared to those using original formulations of the filler.

Juvederm XC, Restylane-L, and Perlane-L all provide the same high quality, long lasting results for the reduction of moderate to severe wrinkles and folds, especially the nasolabial folds near the nose and mouth.

Facial Aesthetics is proud to offer these new dermal fillers with lidocaine formulations to our patients. We are confident that they will enable us to provide you with the most effective treatments while ensuring superior levels of comfort and safety.
