The holidays are here, and what better to put at the top of your Christmas list than self-care? Kernersville’s first Med Spa, Ageless in the Triad delivers luxury spa quality care and is equipped with the latest technology and skilled technicians. As the only spa in the area with a physician on site, Ageless is a one stop shop for all your skincare needs. Whether you are looking to treat yourself or share with a loved one, here are a few of Ageless in the Triad’s favorite things:

Our Favorite Laser 

Our Halo laser is a complete skin rejuvenation treatment that uses two laser wavelengths simultaneously. The Halo laser works wonderfully to improve the appearance of skin and is customizable for all ages, skin types, and complexions. Using motion-tracking technology, the Halo laser targets many types of skin imperfections. It can improve overall tone and texture, improve sun spots, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, reduce pore size, improve collagen production, and can improve the appearance of scars. Halo is typically done in the winter months, as we recommend that you limit sun exposure in the weeks following treatment. 

Our Favorite Facial 

The HydraFacial deeply cleanses, exfoliates, extracts, and hydrates the skin utilizing super-serums filled with antioxidants, peptides and hyaluronic acids delivered through a wand that creates a vortex of cleansing and hydrating power. It is clinically proven to shrink pore size, and improve texture, elasticity, hyperpigmentation and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This is the most powerful non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment available today. Facials are most effective every three to four weeks in order to maintain the skin’s youthful appearance and best texture and tone. 

Our Favorite Injectable 

Injectable neurotoxins such as Botox and Dysport are used to weaken muscles that create unwanted lines from facial expression. Commonly treated areas include crow’s feet, frown lines, lip lines and horizontal forehead lines. After injection, muscles will take on a relaxed state which smooths the skin lying over those muscles. Neurotoxins can also be used to medically treat facial pain and headaches caused by clenching and grinding your teeth by relaxing the large chewing or clenching muscles. Results are seen starting at about five to seven days following treatment and typically last three to four months. Injectable neurotoxins are, by far, our most popular treatment.

Our Favorite Non-Invasive Treatment

BBL (Broad Band Light) is a non-invasive light-based treatment that targets sun damage, age spots, redness from rosacea or broken capillaries, wrinkles, and dull skin. This treatment can be performed on all areas of the body, such as the face, neck, chest, arms, hands, and legs. BBL requires little to no downtime and can be repeated every four weeks until the desired outcome is achieved. Depending on skin needs and goals, many clients start with a series of three to five treatments, with maintenance every three to four months. Studies on this type of treatment, being done consistently over several years, show not only a slowing of the aging process in the skin, but also reversal. This treatment modality can be combined with other treatments, such as Halo, to enhance results. 

Our Favorite Skin Care

At Ageless, we believe that each client has unique skin, and thus unique skin concerns. We evaluate every client thoroughly prior to recommending a customized skin care regimen. The level of efficacy of a skin care product is directly related to the ingredients in the product. The most vital skin care ingredient is Vitamin A. Vitamin A speeds up skin cell turnover time, leaving younger skin cells at the surface of the skin. This leads to softening of fine lines and wrinkles. Topical Vitamin A also increases the production of collagen and elastin in the skin. You can find Vitamin A in several topical forms, such as tretinoin (Retin-A), retinol, and retinaldehyde. Vitamin A also helps improve hyperpigmentation, age spots, and sunspots. Vitamin C (also known as ascorbic acid) is another key ingredient in an effective skin care regimen. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant and works to reverse damage in skin cells occurring from sun exposure. Vitamin C is also a critical component of collagen synthesis in the skin. It helps keep skin tone more even, improves hydration, and improves wound healing. Vitamin E, or tocopherol, is a powerful antioxidant that can reduce signs of aging by protecting against sun damage, preventing loss of hydration, and improving the protective lipid barrier of the skin.

Our Favorite Non-Surgical “Face-Lift”

TriLift is a newer facial treatment that uses Dynamic Muscle Stimulation Technology (DMST) in sequence with Radio Frequency (RF) Micro-Needling and TriPollar RF. DMST activates and tones the facial muscles for a well-defined and lifted look. TriPollar RF and RF Micro-Needling target the skin to stimulate collagen remodeling and increase dermal volume. RF Micro-Needling resurfaces the superficial layers of the skin for a smoother texture and more even skin tone. The overall effect of the three modalities being used together is a well-defined, toned, and lifted look with minimal downtime. Results improve with each additional treatment. 

Our Favorite Massage

All our massages are customizable to meet your needs. Whether you need deep tissue work, relaxation, or cupping, your therapist will ensure your body’s individual needs are met. Massage therapy benefits both the body and mind. Massage can reduce stress, pain, and inflammation. Massage can improve circulation, sleep, immune function, and boost mood and relaxation. It can stimulate the flow of lymph, a fluid that carries immune cells, and lower cortisol levels. Massage has also been shown to increase the “feel-good” neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, serotonin, endorphins, and oxytocin. 

These things and many more have kept clients coming back to Ageless time and time again. Customers have nothing but praise for the professionalism and quality of services at Ageless. “From making my appointment to checking out, the visit exceeded my expectations,” says one customer. “Ashley was extremely professional while also being very friendly and informative.” A few of their clients’ favorite things include a welcoming atmosphere, personalized care, exceptional staff, and amazing results. “Julya was amazing,” says another client. “She really took her time, explained everything to me, and told me what my face was like and what I needed. She suggested what I need for my face, but I didn’t feel pressured to buy anything. Awesome personality and I already have an appointment to return to see her.”
