Exploring the Benefits of Med Spa Treatments

At Chapter Aesthetic Studio, we know that you have your own unique story and needs, and you deserve personalized care. That’s why our goal isn’t to sell you a certain product or procedure, but rather to listen, understand your needs, and help you choose the treatments that will help you look and feel your best. 

Our med spa setting combines expert care with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Because the staff includes highly trained medical professionals, treatment offerings include medical-grade procedures performed using the most advanced equipment and techniques. Meanwhile, the vibe is calm and soothing (think of it like your best friend’s living room), not rushed or tense like a doctor’s office. 

Are you intrigued about med spa treatments, but not sure where to start? In the sections below, we’ll fill you in on what the med spa experience is all about. Let’s review the treatments you might choose to explore and the benefits you’ll enjoy at your local Chapter Aesthetic Studio location. 

Anti-Aging Skin Care

Anti-aging products and treatments are those that work to reverse the effects of aging and restore youthful qualities. Usually, anti-aging refers to advanced skincare methods. Anti-aging may involve smoothing out wrinkles, tightening skin, reducing the appearance of scars or blemishes, or restoring balance to skin tone. 

The leading anti-aging med spa skin care treatments include:

• Botox® and Xeomin® injections to reduce wrinkles
• Dermal fillers to restore volume in the face as well as sculpt facial features
• Medical-grade facials for deep cleaning, exfoliating and skin resurfacing

In different ways, each of these treatments rejuvenates the skin and reverses the effects of aging. 

Injections of Botox® or Xeomin® block the nerve signals that cause muscle contraction, resulting in the smoothing out of fine lines and wrinkles. 

Dermal filler treatment involves injecting hyaluronic acid into the skin. This treatment plumps wrinkles and restores healthy contours around facial features. 

Several different medical-grade facial methods help remove old skin cells, clean deep beneath the skin, and encourage the natural flow of collagen to rejuvenate the epidermis. Advanced facial treatments include microneedling, chemical peels, and laser facials. 

Laser Hair Removal

Body hair is a fact of life, but reducing your unwanted body hair doesn’t have to be a never ending struggle. With laser hair removal, you can enjoy months, years or even a lifetime of blissfully smooth skin. 

Traditional hair removal methods rely on cutting (shaving) or pulling (waxing or plucking). These processes can be painful. Meanwhile, hair starts regrowing immediately — by the time the skin irritation settles down, new hairs are already visible. 

Laser hair removal offers a better way of dealing with unwanted body hair. The treatment involves directing a concentrated beam of light at the skin. After striking hairs on the face or body, the light is converted to heat. Then, the heat energy damages hair follicles beneath the skin. As a result, hair growth is halted until the follicles recover. 

A course of laser hair treatment typically consists of 6–8 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart. But you’ll start seeing results right away. You can expect to see a 10-25% decrease in hair after your first appointment! Gradually, the body sheds old hair while new hair growth ceases. After treatment, you’ll enjoy effortless, beautiful, hairless skin. Results usually last for around six months to one year, with minimal touch-ups needed after. 

CoolSculpting®

Med spa treatments aren’t limited to skincare. You can also receive nonsurgical treatment for one of the most frustrating and common cosmetic concerns: stubborn pockets of body fat. 

CoolSculpting® is a patented, FDA-approved procedure that’s helped millions of individuals safely treat unwanted fatty tissue. The procedure uses the power of intense cooling to break down fat cells. 

The cooling process, known as cryolipolysis, is used for fat loss, not for weight loss. That means the treatment doesn’t affect the whole body, but rather zones in on specific pockets of fat, such as love handles or lower belly fat. 

The CoolSculpting® process consists of these steps:

• The skin is cleaned and covered with a protective gel pad
• A specialist uses a handheld suction device to apply a freezing temperature to the fatty tissue 
• The treatment area is maintained at a temperature between 30–40 degrees for 30 minutes to one hour 

The temperatures used in CoolSculpting® are cold enough to affect fat without harming skin or muscle. After treatment, fat cells begin to break down, gradually reducing the size of the fatty tissue pocket.
