Acne scars are one of the most frustrating skin conditions because they can be nearly impossible to cover up with makeup.  However, depending on your specific kind of scars, a variety of treatments are available to minimize or eliminate your acne scars.  But before you can consider your treatment options, you first have to determine the type of scars that are visible.

The easiest way to discover which type of scar and treatment are best for you is you request a free consultation.  By seeing your acne scars up close, we'll be able to steer you in the right direction.  If you'd like to learn a little bit more about the process before coming to the office, here's an article about acne scar treatments.

Microdermabrasion - A Good Treatment

This treatment involves a deep exfoliation of the skin to minimize the appearance of acne scars.  Depending on the type, depth, and degree of acne scars, you may need several treatments before experiencing good results.  Our more aggressive treatment, the Microderm Gold has a specific serum designed to treat acne as well as offering deep penetrating dermabrasion to treat acne scars.

Microdermabrasion Pricing:

Single Treatment - $105
Individual treatment includes mask, face only. 50 minutes
Package: 5 treatments - $450
Back Microdermabrasion treatment - $125
Includes mask, 1 hour
30 Minute Treatment - $75

Microderm Gold Pricing:

Single Treatment - $165
Package: 5 Treaments - $695

Chemical Peels - This is a little bit more effective for certain types of acne scars.  It utilizes acids such as glycolic acid to remove the top layer of skin, minimizing the appearance of scars and improving the overall tone and texture of the affected area.

What Is Cellulite?

Cellulite, also known as "cottage cheese" or "orange peel" is estimated to affect 80% of all women over the age of 20, regardless of their weight.  It generally appears on the buttocks, hips, and thighs.

Although cellulite has been widely studied in clinical circles, the real cause is not fully understood, although several theories currently exist.  The most popular of them include hormones, genetics, diet, and even clothing.

How To Eliminate Cellulite

A typical Synergie treatment program consists of bi-weekly sessions which last about 45 minutes, followed by monthly maintenance visits after your initial results are achieved.  In addition, we recommend that you maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine to prevent additional fat from turning into cellulite as you receive your treatments.

The Synergie system works by delivering a deep, subdermal tissue massage, also known as liponic sculpting.  During your treatment, the device combines suction and applied pressure to provide optimal stimulation of the treatment area, as well as stretching and increasing pressure to subcutaneous tissues, a type of therapy not possible through traditional massage techniques.

In clinical studies, 91% of women treated the the Synergie AMS system reported a significant reduction in the appearance of cellulite.  Additionally, 100% of the women treated reported a loss in inches.

Here's what one client said after about her experience:

"I wanted some skin toning and smoothing that I haven't been able to get from diet and exercise. Synergie took care of those troublesome areas for me. With Synergie ... I saw a very noticeable improvement in the smoothness of my skin; the cellulite practically disappeared! Synergie was just what I needed!"

Why Choose Skin RN For Your Laser Hair Removal?

Skin RN is a medically directed skin care center in Nashville, TN.  Unlike day spas and many aesthetic businesses, we can offer medical grade equipment and services that others can't.  We can also offer prescription pain medication and topical anesthetics that are only available under the supervision of a doctor.

That's why we call ourselves a "Medical Skin Care Center" because we can offer medical advice and services that others can't.

How To Determine Your Skin Type For Laser Hair Removal

The reason it's important to understand your skin type is because different lasers are used to treat different skin types.  Before you choose to get laser hair removal, it's important to determine if your treatment provider is using a device that will work effectively for your skin type.  Six different skin types are distinguished using the Fitzpatrick Scale, also known as the Fitzpatrick skin typing test. At Skin RN, we use multiple FDA approved devices to effectively treat all six skin types.

• Level 1: Light, very fair, or "white." Tends to have red or blond hair, and freckles. You rarely tan and often burn in the sun
  
  
• Level 2 - Light, fair, or light-skinned European.  Tends to have light colored or red hair. Tanning can be a challenge.
  
  
• Level 3 - Beige, light-intermediate, or dark-skinned European. Any hair or eye color.  Rarely burns, gradually tans.
  
  
• Level 4 - Beige with a brown tint, also known as "Mediterranean" or "olive skin." Dark brown to black hair and dark eyes.  Rarely burns and easily tans.
  
  
• Level 5 - Brown, dark brown, or hispanic.  Black hair and brown or hazel eyes.  Tans every easily.
  
  
• Level 6 - Very dark, or "black."  Black hair with dark brown eyes with minor variations.  Never burns in the sun, or tans very easily.

Since we've treated thousands of patients, we'll help you determine your skin type during a free consultation to make sure you get the very best results from laser hair removal.

How Much Does Laser Hair Removal Cost?

You may have noticed that pricing for laser hair removal is pretty broad.  That's because of the wide variety of devices available for performing it. We currently utilize two different FDA approved, medical grade laser hair removal devices.  Both of these are considered "top of the line" equipment and give us the ability to treat all six skin types.

An important consideration before getting laser hair removal is the kind of equipment used for your treatment.  The FDA has recently reported that "so many devices have entered the laser hair removal market in recent years that they can no longer keep up with and approve every device available." And manufacturers have popped up everywhere claiming that their single laser can treat all 6 skin types.

But here's the catch ... these devices may very well treat all 6 types, but in most cases, they will only EFFECTIVELY treat one or two types, while only removing a fraction of the hair on the other 4 types.

Inferior devices are popping up all the time and they cost a fraction of what a medical grade device costs.  So someone could buy one of these inferior devices today, take your money, and disappear (I just heard a story about a woman in Nashville who bought a $1,500 treatment package and the business closed before she ever received her first treatment).

This link reveals hundreds of consumer complaints about these unscrupulous businesses, and some of them are right here in Tennessee.

Skin RN Aesthetics has been open since 2003, so you can feel confident that we will be here to complete all of your treatments with the best available devices, and do everything possible to ensure your satisfaction.

Does It Hurt?

Most of our customers have told us that laser hair removal with our devices is virtually painless.  But in some cases, when we treat more sensitive areas, a topical anesthetic can be used to minimize the discomfort.  Occasionally, you may feel something like a "rubber band snap" when the laser pulses, but it immediately subsides.

If you've ever experienced greater pain from laser hair removal, this probably indicates that the wrong device was used, or a topical anesthetic wasn't available.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

Clinical studies have show that of our laser hair removal devices attain a 73% to 93% permanent reduction in hair, six months after three treatments with optimal results after six treatments.  And since most patients want the very best results, we offer special pricing on six sessions.

Your treatments will be scheduled 4 to 6 weeks apart to make sure the maximum amount of hair is removed each time.

We guarantee that you will see results from laser hair removal with Skin RN Aesthetics.

Skin RN Aesthetics offers laser skin resurfacing with FDA approved fractional CO2 lasers for smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, minimizing sun spots, Melasma, and acne scars, and improving the overall texture and look of your skin.

What is Laser Skin Resurfacing?

There are two main kinds of skin resurfacing lasers on the market today.  Fully ablative and fractional.  You may have heard of fully ablative lasers because they've been around for a while.  Also called CO2 lasers, these are used to completely "burn off" the top layer of your skin.  While they can get good results, common side effects include excessive oozing, extreme pain, and several weeks of hiding away from the world while your skin starts to grow back.

Fractional Skin Resurfacing is a newer technology that makes thousands of tiny perforations in the surface of your skin, extending down into the dermis to allow new skin form in its place.  Unlike a fully ablative laser, a fractional laser leaves the skin around the microscopic holes in tact, resulting in a safer procedure, shorter downtime, and less pain.

At Skin RN, we utilize The SmartXide DOT (Dermal Optical Thermolysis).  This laser was specifically designed to go one step further than traditional fractional lasers by not only resurfacing the skin, but also stimulating collagen to tighten the skin.  That's why it's works so well at reducing or eliminating wrinkles, skin discoloration, sun spots, and acne scars.  By simultaneously resurfacing and stimulating collagen growth, the skin's appearance looks much younger with a single treatment.

Does Laser Skin Resurfacing Hurt?

90% of patients rate the pain as a 2 or 3 on a 10 point scale.  The most common way patients described it is "like an intense sunburn."  To minimize the pain our medical director can prescribe anti-anxiety and anti-pain medications after a brief consultation.  We also apply numbing cream before the procedure and use an icy blast of air to the treatment area during the procedure (it's like a high powered, handheld air conditioner that attaches to the laser).  Finally, after the treatment, we provide you with ice packs and an after-care kit with skin creams and moisturizers to speed up the healing process and make sure you get the best possible results.

Here's what one patient said immediately after the procedure.

"I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the procedure was. Afterward, it felt like an intense sunburn.  I've had several other laser treatments in the past and this one was a breeze."

Skin tightening on the face, jawline, and neck is now easier than ever with the Cutera Titan Laser.  The Titan utilizes a safe infrared light to heat the skin below the surface while protecting the surface of the skin with a unique cooling handpiece.  This device is getting rave reviews from our customers.  Click here to request a free consultation

Who Can Safely Get This Skin Tightening Treatment?

Titan skin tightening is an effective, minimally invasive option for men and women of all skin types and skin tones.  Laser skin tightening has none of the expense, risk, and downtime associated with surgical cosmetic facial procedures.  During your free consultation, we'll be able to tell you if Titan is right for you.

How Many Skin Tightening Treatments Are Needed?

It really depends on how much skin tightening needs to be achieved to get the results you desire.  You can get results in as little as one treatment, but may opt to get as many as four.  We offer special prices for clients to decide to get multiple treatments.

Does It Hurt?

Titan laser skin tightening is a virtually pain-free procedure that produces lasting results with no downtime.  The feeling of a Titan treatment is brief heating sensation, but the special cooling handpiece does such a good job of cooling the skin, you'll never really feel a burning sensation.  After the procedure, you may experience some mild redness and swelling in the treated area, but it will quickly dissipate within a few hours.

Skin RN Aesthetics offers laser tattoo removal with the state-of-the-art MedLite® laser.  Laser technology has come a long way in the past few years, so if you're thinking of getting tattoo removal, here's a few things you may want to consider.

How Does Tattoo Removal Work?

The device that we use can treat a variety of inks and colors using four different wavelengths of PhotoAcoustic energy that penetrates the surface of the skin and shatters the ink into microscopic particles.  These harmless particles are then absorbed into the lymph system and passed out of the body as waste.  The easiest tattoos to remove are black because we can use a single wavelength to treat the entire area.  Colorful tattoos take a little more time but they can also be removed with this laser.

It Hurt When It Went On ... Will It Hurt When It Comes Off?

We won't sugar coat it here ... yes, it hurts.  Most patients say that the feeling is similar to actually getting the tattoo.  Every time the laser pulses, it will feel like a rubber band snapping on your skin followed by a feeling of warmth.

We've been doing tattoo removal since 2003 and if there were a more effective and less painful way to get it done, we'd do it.  To date we've tried different lasers, balms, and even a little tattoo voodoo :-) but have never found a more effective treatment.

How Many Tattoo Removal Treatments Are Required?

It depends on the size, colors, and type of ink that was used.  Usually, it will take 6 to 15 treatments.  The best way to decide if you want to start getting laser tattoo removal is to schedule a free consultation.  We'll do our best to tell you how many treatments you're going to need.

WARNING ... READ THIS BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY TATTOO REMOVAL!

Now that you know that the journey to "inkless" skin can be a long one, you may decide to look into other options.  That's cool.  But before you decide to do ANYTHING for your tattoo removal, make sure that it won't permanently scar the skin.  There's a lot of stuff out there that are being touted as the "latest-and-greatest" thing ... too many to keep up with.

We've tried several of these over the years and found that one of the most common problems involve a "balm" or some other concoction to remove the tattoo, only to be left with a scar in it's place.  So please ... be careful.  Tattoos are one of the most technical and challenging things to fix in aesthetic skin care.

If You've Already Been Scarred From Trying Something Else

The good news is that if you've been scarred from tattoo removal in the past, we can treat it with laser skin resurfacing.  But since every scar is different, you'll need to come in for a free consultation.

Cost Of Laser Tattoo Removal

A free consultation is required for accurate pricing, starting at $100/session. The size and color of your tattoo will determine your actual cost.

Click here to request a free consultation

What Are Spider Veins?

Spider veins are the visible surface manifestations of an underlying condition known as venous insufficiency and may be isolated or associated with 'feeder' veins. They are the result of broken capillaries that are connected to the body's vein system.  Spider veins can be identified by clusters of red or purple veins commonly found on the thighs, behind the knees, and on the calves, ankles, and face.  They may show up at any time starting from your teenage years or later on in life.

Spider veins are often confused with varicose veins, although these two conditions are very different.  Spider veins are usually the sign of a problem in the shallow venous system. They are small, easy to treat, and don't offer much of a threat to your personal health.  Vericose veins are much more dangerous and can lead to circulatory problems.

What Causes Spider Veins?

Spider veins are caused by a variety of factors including aging, heredity, sun damage, certain diseases, pregnancy, and prolonged sitting or standing.

Fortunately, spider veins are harmless but many people seek spider vein removal treatments for cosmetic purposes.  Laser is the treatment of choice for spider veins on any part of the body.

How Vein Treatment Works

Using an FDA approved vein treatment laser, a vein removal treatment can be performed in one of our private treatment rooms in less than one hour.  Vein treatment procedures are do not require any kind of general anesthesia and patients can immediately resume their normal activity after the treatment.

Depending on the size and frequency of visible veins, one treatment may be all that's required.  If more treatments will need to be performed, we'll let you know during your free consultation.
