Holly asked: My biggest skin concerns are stubborn hyperpigmentation (brown spots) redness and large pores. Are there any treatments that would work for all 3 of my concerns?
Our Answer is: Absolutely! Our Photo Rejuvenation (aka Photofacial)Treatment, would be the perfect treatment to target all 3 of your concerns!
IPL Photofacial is the use of Intense Pulsed Light to specifically target age and sun-related spots and correct hyperpigmentation and melasma issues. IPL photorejuvenation is very effective at improving the appearance of sun-damaged, aged skin as it can remove brown spots and redness, age spots and small facial veins resulting in blemish-free and youthful-looking skin.
IPL Photofacial treatments also consistently and predictably improve the texture, tone, and color of the skin with little downtime. IPL has also been shown to plump the skin and stimulate the growth of new collagen as well as decrease pore size, giving skin a more youthful appearance.
Other areas on the body with spots and sun damage, such as the chest (decollete), hands, arms, back, and legs can be treated with IPL Photofacial.
IPL Treatment is ideal for:
- Blemishes and uneven skin tone
- Age Spots, Sun Spots, Liver Spots, freckles
- Facial Blood Vessels and Capillaries
- Rosacea and redness of face and chest
- Enlarged Pores
The best candidates for this procedure are patients with rosacea, red flushed faces secondary to acne rosacea, facial blood vessels and capillaries, sun-damaged skin, pigmented facial spots, and enlarged pores.

How can I look younger without Botox or Fillers?

Our first question comes from Marie, who wants her skin to look more youthful without resorting to injectables.
Marie asked:
I just turned 40 and feel that my skin has aged significantly in the past 2 or 3 years. How can I look younger without Botox or Fillers?
Our Answer is:
Radio Frequency Skin Tightening!
Radio frequency (or RF) is a form of energy that encourages molecular movement in the skin. When RF is applied to your tissue, a “heat” is then created which triggers your molecules to oscillate or in other words, provokes action in your skin. Action in your skin promotes collagen and elastin production. Viora's propitiatory technology helps to painlessly pinpoint the exact area of the skin in need (or even many layers all at the same time). No matter what area you’re aiming to smooth, un-wrinkle, or make look younger again, you can be assured that your unique skin condition is getting a personalized, you-tailored treatment without the use of botox, fillers, or surgery!
