Feeling like your face is losing its youthful fullness? You are not alone. Facial volume loss, sometimes called “melting” face, is a common part of aging that can make you look tired or older than you feel. The good news? There are effective treatments to restore that lost volume and bring back a fresh, vibrant look. In this blog, we will explore popular options like dermal fillers, Morpheus8, and more to help you understand how to regain your natural glow.

Causes of Facial Volume Loss

As we age, it is completely normal for our faces to change, but sometimes that change feels more dramatic than expected. One big reason? Facial volume loss. Over time, our skin produces less collagen and elastin—the building blocks that keep it firm and plump. Add gravity into the mix, and things start to shift.

But it is not just aging. Lifestyle choices like spending too much time in the sun, smoking, or eating a poor diet can speed up the process. Even your genes play a role. Some people are simply predisposed to lose volume faster or in specific areas like the cheeks or under the eyes.

Non-Surgical Treatment Options at Advanced Electrolysis & MedSpa

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers have become a go-to solution for anyone looking to restore that youthful fullness without going under the knife. Whether your cheeks have lost their lift or fine lines are starting to take over, fillers can help bring back smooth contours and a refreshed appearance. At Advanced Electrolysis & MedSpa, the Juvéderm® Collection offers customized options to help you look refreshed and feel confident again.

• Voluma XC is ideal for midface volume loss. It lifts and contours the cheeks, giving your face a more youthful structure and reversing the hollow look that can come with age.

• Vollure XC works wonders on moderate to severe facial lines, like nasolabial folds (those lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth). It softens deep creases while maintaining natural movement and expression.

• Volbella XC adds subtle volume to the lips and smooths vertical lip lines (aka smoker’s lines), giving your mouth a softer, more hydrated look.

• Ultra Plus XC & Ultra XC are thicker formulations designed for deeper wrinkles and more dramatic volume restoration. They’re also commonly used for fuller, plumper lips.

Each treatment is tailored to your facial structure and goals, with immediate results and minimal downtime, so you can get back to your day looking naturally rejuvenated.

Morpheus8 Treatments

Morpheus8 is a cutting-edge treatment that blends two powerful technologies—microneedling and bipolar radiofrequency—to rejuvenate and remodel the skin from deep within. It is like giving your face a natural lift without going under the knife.

Here is how it works: the microneedling creates tiny channels in the skin, triggering your body’s natural healing process, while the radiofrequency energy heats the deeper layers to stimulate collagen and elastin production. This combo tightens the skin, improves texture, and restores a firmer, more youthful contour to your face.

Morpheus8 is especially effective for addressing loose skin, sagging cheeks, fine lines, and even acne scars. The treatment is fully customizable, meaning the depth and intensity can be adjusted to suit your specific needs and target problem areas—whether it is the jawline, under-eye area, or overall facial volume.

With minimal downtime and noticeable results, Morpheus8 is a go-to option for anyone looking to refresh and firm their look naturally.

EvolveX by InMode

EvolveX by InMode is like a workout and skin tightening treatment all in one, except you get to relax while it does the work. This advanced, non-invasive system uses radiofrequency (RF) energy combined with electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to tighten skin, reduce the appearance of cellulite, and tone underlying muscles.

RF gently heats the deeper layers of your skin and stimulates collagen and elastin production to firm and smooth areas prone to sagging or dimpling. At the same time, EMS delivers controlled pulses to your muscles, helping strengthen and sculpt trouble spots like the abdomen, thighs, and arms.

With no downtime and noticeable results, EvolveX is a great option for anyone wanting a firmer, more contoured body and smoother skin without surgery or needles. EvolveX helps you reclaim a firmer, more sculpted look in no time.

Choosing the Right Treatment

Choosing the right treatment for facial volume loss is not one-size-fits-all. Everyone’s face tells a different story—so it makes sense that your treatment plan should be just as unique. That is why a personalized consultation is key. A trained professional at Advanced Electrolysis & MedSpa can evaluate your facial anatomy, skin condition, and goals to recommend options that truly fit you. Sometimes, the best results come from a combination of therapies—like pairing dermal fillers with Morpheus8 to target both volume loss and skin texture. This customized, layered approach can deliver more natural, balanced, and longer-lasting results that enhance your confidence from every angle.

Thinking about laser hair removal? This blog covers everything I wish I knew before starting—what to expect, what it really feels like, and tips to help you get the best results. From session schedules to skin prep, we are breaking down the truth behind the smooth skin journey. Whether you are on the fence or already booked, these insights will help you feel more confident and prepared every step of the way.

1. It is Not a One-and-Done Treatment

One of the biggest surprises for many people starting laser hair removal is realizing it is not a one-time fix. Most areas require 6 to 8 sessions.  In addition, treatments should be spaced out according to the treated area’s growth cycle.  

•  Neck/Face = 4-6 weeks
• Underarms/Bikini = 6-8 weeks
• Chest/Abdomen/Back = 8-10 weeks
• Legs/Arm = 10-12 weeks.

The laser is only effective when the treatment is able to cauterize the blood supply to the hair in the active growth phase..  It occurs when the hair is dark in color and attached to the blood supply which is in the first 1-3 weeks of a hair starting to grow.  If you miss appointments or stretch them out too far, it can delay your progress.

Even after your initial round of treatments, touch-up sessions may be needed once or twice a year—especially if there is a change in hormones or treatments are in hormonal areas like the face. Think of it as a long-term investment in smoother skin, rather than an instant fix. With patience and consistency, the results are totally worth it.

2. It Does Not Work the Same for Everyone

Laser hair removal is not one-size-fits-all, and results can vary depending on your skin tone, hair color, and even hormones. The treatment works best on people with light skin and dark hair, because the pigment in the hair absorbs the energy from the laser. If your hair has blonde, red, white, or gray hair, the energy from the laser will not be able to absorb the energy and destroy the root, making it less effective. In cases of hair that is blonde, red, white, or gray, electrolysis is the answer for permanent hair removal

Hormones also play a big role. Conditions like PCOS can lead to excess hair growth that resists treatment, or causes hair to return more quickly. Some people may see dramatic results in just a few sessions, while others need more time and maintenance. Knowing what to expect based on your unique body can help you set realistic goals and avoid frustration along the way. A consultation with one of our professionals can give you personalized insight and create the right treatment plan for you.

3. It is Not Completely Painless

Laser hair removal can be extremely uncomfortable or relatively painless.  Everyone has a different experience.  However, most people describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snap against the skin. The upper lip, bikini line, and underarms tend to sting more than places like the legs or arms. The good news is that sessions are usually fast, and many clinics, including ours, offer numbing cream to make things more comfortable. 

You can also ask your technician about additional solutions they may offer to make yourself more comfortable. Everyone’s pain tolerance is different, but with the right prep and mindset, most people find it totally manageable.

4. Pre- and Post-Treatment Care is Crucial

Proper pre- and post-treatment care can make a big difference in your laser hair removal results. Before your appointment, you will need to shave the area being treated—but do not wax or pluck, since the laser targets hair at the root and those removed hairs would not be treated. Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least four weeks before and after each session, as the increase in active melanin can increase your risk of irritation or hyperpigmentation. After treatment, your skin might feel sensitive, so skip hot showers, saunas, or workouts for three to four days. Instead, keep the area moisturized with a gentle cooling lotion and treat your skin with a little extra care.

5. It is an Investment (But Worth It!)

Laser hair removal might seem pricey upfront, but it is a smart investment in the long run. While each session can cost anywhere from $75 to $300 depending on the area, many providers like us offer package deals that bring the price down. And when you compare that to a lifetime of razors, shaving cream, waxing appointments, or depilatory creams, the savings add up quickly. Beyond the money, think about all the time you will have saved not having to shave every other day or book monthly waxes. It is a commitment—but for many, the smooth, low-maintenance results are absolutely worth it.

6. Choosing the Right Provider Matters

Choosing the right provider is key to getting safe, effective results from laser hair removal. Always go to a licensed and experienced technician, like the experienced team at Advanced Electrolysis & MedSpa. In addition, it is important to ensure that the spa offers a consultation with a spot test.  A spot test is essential in establishing the correct settings to keep your skin safe while administering an effective treatment.  It is important to do your research about their treatments and do not be afraid to ask questions. A skilled provider will guide you through the best options for your unique needs.

Acne may fade, but the scars it leaves behind can feel like they last forever. If you have tried every serum, mask, and DIY remedy with little success, you are not alone. The good news? Chemical peels can help reveal the smooth, even skin tone hiding beneath those stubborn marks. By gently exfoliating and boosting collagen, they fade scars and refresh your complexion. Ready to say goodbye to acne scars? Let us dive into how chemical peels can transform your skin!

What Are Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels are skin-resurfacing treatments that use acids to exfoliate damaged layers, revealing smoother, clearer skin. They help fade acne scars, even out skin tone, and boost collagen production. 

Peels work by stimulating skin renewal, removing damaged layers, and promoting collagen for a smoother complexion. Whether you need a subtle refresh or a full transformation, there is a peel for you.

How Chemical Peels Help with Acne Scars

Acne scars can feel like unwanted reminders of past breakouts, but chemical peels offer a way to fade those marks and reveal smoother skin. By exfoliating damaged layers and boosting collagen production, chemical peels help improve both the texture and tone of scarred skin.

Which Acne Scars Benefit the Most?

These are some types of acne scars that benefit most from chemical peels:

• Hyperpigmentation (Dark Spots): Light and medium peels help fade discoloration.
• Shallow Scars: Medium and deep peels encourage collagen production to smooth these out.
• Deep Ice-Pick Scars: May require multiple deep peels or combination treatments.

Types of Chemical Peels for Acne Scars

Not all acne scars are the same, which is why there are different levels of chemical peels to target them. Whether you need a quick refresh or a deep resurfacing, there is a peel that can help smooth and brighten your skin.

Light Peels

Perfect for mild acne scars and discoloration, light peels using a lower strength of glycolic, lactic, or salicylic acid to exfoliate the skin’s surface. In addition, oxygen, enzymatic, mandelic, and peptide peel offer a lighter option as well.  These peels are great for evening out skin tone and reducing dark spots with little to no downtime. You might experience slight redness, but you can usually go about your day as usual. For best results, multiple sessions are recommended. 

Medium Peels

If you have more noticeable scarring, a medium peel penetrates deeper to remove damaged skin and boost collagen. TCA, vitamin A, and glycolic are used in medium peels as well as a greater strength of glycolic, lactic, or salicylic acid in comparison to the lighter peel. Expect a few days of peeling and flaking, but once healed, your skin will be noticeably smoother and more even-toned. 

Deep Peels  

For severe acne scars, deep peels penetrate the lowest skin layers. These peels stimulate intense collagen production, helping fill in deep scars and dramatically improving skin texture. Recovery takes longer (weeks, not days), but the results can last for years. For the safety of the patients, deep peels should only be administered by licensed physicians.

What to Expect During and After a Chemical Peel

Getting a chemical peel is an exciting step toward clearer skin, but knowing what to expect can make the process smoother. During the treatment, your skin will be cleansed before the peeling solution is applied. After cleansing, the chemical peel will be applied.  You may feel a tingling or warming sensation as the acids work their magic. Depending on the peel, a neutralizing agent may be applied after to stop complete its effect. To finish the treatment, your skin is soothed with moisturizer and sunscreen.

After the peel, your skin may look red or feel tight, similar to a mild sunburn. Light peels cause minimal flaking, while medium peels lead to noticeable peeling for about a week. Deep peels require a longer healing process but provide the most dramatic results.

To protect your skin, avoid sun exposure, keep your face moisturized, use sunscreen at all times, and resist picking at the peeling skin. With proper care, your fresh, renewed skin will soon be revealed, leaving you with a smoother, more even complexion.

Who is a Good Candidate for Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels work best for individuals with mild to moderate acne scars, uneven skin tone, or hyperpigmentation. Those with lighter skin tones tend to see the most even results, but deeper peels can be effective for darker skin when done carefully.

If you have sensitive skin or a darker complexion, it is important to choose the right peel to avoid irritation or discoloration. Our medical estheticians can recommend the safest option based on your skin type.

Anyone with active acne, eczema, or very deep scars will visit with our medical esthetician in a consultation to determine which is appropriate for your skin and skincare goals.
