Popular Medspa Treatments to Start Your Year Off Right

Most of us are ready to close the chapter on 2021, but there are some things worth reflecting on as we wrap up the year. Specifically, medspa treatments continued to advance. Identifying the most popular options can help you hone in on the best choices for your personal cosmetic goals. 

Here at Hanami Medspa in Fort Worth, Texas, Elaine Phuah, DO, MBA, FACOI, and our team reviewed the top three most popular medspa treatments from 2021, according to the Spa Industry Association (SIA). So many men and women picked these treatments because they’re minimally invasive and highly effective. If you’re looking for a way to move closer to your ideal appearance in the new year, these three options deliver. 

#1: Facials, the HydraFacial®, and chemical peels

The top-ranking medspa treatment in 2021 centers around improving the skin on your face. Fortunately, you have several options for doing just that. 

In addition to the personalized, skin-transforming facials you expect from a medspa like ours, Dr. Phuah also offers facial treatments that use the latest advancements in aesthetic science. That includes the Vampire Facial, which blends SkinPen microneedling with a regeneration-stimulating serum of platelet-rich plasma, and the HydraFacial. The HydraFacial is a 30-minute, three-step treatment designed to leave you glowing.

If you’re looking to undo issues that have cropped up over the years — like age spots or fine lines — Dr. Phuah also offers chemical peels. These treatments clear away the outer layer of dead and damaged skin cells to reveal the newer, younger-looking skin underneath. 

#2: Botox® and fillers

Whether you’re dealing with wrinkles or volume loss, your face might not look as young as it used to. Fortunately, with Botox and fillers, Dr. Phuah gets an ultra-quick, highly convenient way to turn back the clock for you. 

Dr. Phuah uses Botox injections to smooth dynamic wrinkles on your face with the most popular areas being:

• Forehead lines
• Frown lines
• Crow’s feet

For aging on your face which generally stems from volume loss, she offers injectable fillers. This way, she can restore the youthful contours to your face while smoothing lines. Besides hyaluronic acid fillers which restore volume, she can also provide collagen-stimulatory fillers such as Sculptra or Radiesse.

#3: Laser hair reduction

The third-most-popular option can be applied virtually anywhere there is unwanted hair. With laser hair reduction, Dr. Phuah uses sophisticated laser technology to target and destroy hair follicles in areas where you want lasting smooth skin. One area that often gets requested is laser hair reduction on the upper lip or chin. Also this treatment is effective at improving problem skin such as keratosis pilaris (or chicken skin) and dermatitis due to recurrent ingrown hair.

This treatment requires several sessions and it’s important that you avoid sun exposure between them. That makes winter the perfect time to treat areas of unwanted hair.
