When injectable treatments came along, we completely changed the way that we address the signs of aging. While some people do undergo plastic surgery to correct more severe facial aging, the vast majority of adults who want to restore younger-looking facial contours do so without surgery. They do so with injectables like BOTOX and dermal fillers. While there are many upsides to injectable treatments, there are also a few risks. Bruising is one of them that we get asked about frequently. Here, we discuss why some people develop bruises after getting injectables and what you might do to decrease this […]
You deserve to feel great about your appearance. Because you are a living organism, you are constantly aging. Because you are human, you may feel frustrated at some of the ways your body is changing over time. We serve people just like you, adults of all ages who want to love their skin as it transitions into new phases through life stages. While we have the tools to manage aging skin and we love to use them, we also know that there are additional steps that some people may want to take to promote long-term resilience. Here, we point out […]
Getting a better body is never as easy as we think it will be. This is why plastic surgery procedures like liposuction and abdominoplasty continue to be so popular. On the nonsurgical side of the aisle, we’ve seen a number of modalities emerge. CoolSculpting was one of the most significant advances in not only nonsurgical but noninvasive body contouring to come about in recent history. And now, the same manufacturer has brought another device to the market. In addition to offering CoolSculpting, we’re proud to perform CoolTone, a fat-burning, muscle-building treatment that is getting all kinds of positive attention. Here, […]
Microneedling has become a popular cosmetic treatment in recent years. Not only is it safe and effective, but it is also pretty conservative as far as professional beauty procedures go. Microneedling is loved for its results as well as its gentleness and minimal downtime. As it is, microneedling has powerful effects on the skin repair process. And yet, device manufacturers have a knack for taking something great and making it fabulous. Here, we discuss the differences between traditional microneedling, which we offer, and Infini RF microneedling, also a leading service at Lux Skin & Lasers.

We’re not far off from that day when we start pulling out our sweaters and jackets, long pants and thick socks. While we’re still basking in the glow of a warm and wonderful summer, it’s a great time to start thinking ahead, way ahead. What better way to get through the cold winter months than by taking active steps for a beautiful next summer? We’re talking about getting laser hair removal, and will offer some details about the treatment here that may help you determine its value to you.

Often, there is a gap between what we want to look like and what we are able to achieve. The fact is, most people are too busy to spend the time it takes to achieve their ideal body contours. Even with a healthy diet and routine exercise, the vast majority of adults in our country harbor some extra fat in areas they’d rather not. CoolSculpting is an innovative device that has been used for the past several years to address this very concern.
You may have heard of CoolSculpting. The marketing that has been done to get this treatment some attention […]
Not long ago, there was little talk about how to manage the signs of aging beyond one of two options: plastic surgery or over-the-counter creams. Today, we have a plethora of choices in addressing not only the signs of aging but also natural facial deficiencies that affect appearance. In our offices in King of Prussia and Bryn Mawr, injectables are a common go-to. We understand why. Injectables like Botox and dermal fillers have been proven a million times over to work safety and effectively. Treatment is quick and provides fast results. If you’re thinking that you’re ready to hop on […]
At Lux Skin and Lasers, we are familiar with the popularity of dermal fillers and routinely perform these injections to correct a wide variety of cosmetic concerns. Dermal fillers aren’t new to aesthetic medicine. However, every year we meet people who are new to dermal fillers. We understand from talking with new clients that there is often some sense of hesitation before agreeing to cosmetic injections. Here, we discuss how this treatment process goes from Step A to Step B. It’s pretty much as simple as that.
Talking is the First Step in Dermal Filler Treatment
One of the aspects of dermal […]
If you are an adult of any age, you have likely heard of Botox Cosmetic. You may have even grown up hearing this product mentioned on television or in magazines or by your own family. Botox was the OG injectable. It has been around longer than most people imagine, first making its appearance before the turn of the 21st Century. And even before that, the ingredient from which Botox was born, clostridium botulinum, was a common therapeutic modality. But that is the past. Botox still holds a lot of value in the present. Here, we discuss some of the common […]
As we age, we often worry about how lines, wrinkles, and sagging will affect our appearance. We consider the benefits of plastic surgery or innovative skin-tightening treatments. We get injectables like Botox and dermal fillers. It isn’t often, though, that adults consider how their complexion could be aging them. Here, we discuss how it can, why it may, and what you can do about an aging complexion.
What Forms Complexion
Our complexion, generally speaking, is our skin tone. The color of our skin is reached by a certain amount of melanin, and we all produce a particular amount based on our genetics. […]
