Wrinkles and Pigmentation Treatment

This Fusion Facial Treatment Duo is also known as 'ThreeForMe'.

What is the Wrinkles & Pigmentation Treatment?

This Fusion Facial Treatment blend is the proven way to get rid of fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, sun damage and unsightly veins, all at the same time. Only this treatment duo addresses all these conditions in one procedure that combines the skin resurfacing power of an IPL photofacial and fractional laser. You’ll be amazed at how much younger you can look and feel!

How does it work?

This treatment (also known as the ‘ThreeForMe’ treatment) is exclusive to the clinically proven Cynosure Icon™ laser. The procedure is performed in two steps, or “passes”:

The first pass treats discoloration and facial vessels using an Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) photofacial, a technology that addresses sun damage, including freckles, brown spots or age spots, unsightly broken capillaries, and rosacea.

The second pass uses Icon’s “microbeam” laser technology that renews the skin by generating collagen and elastin—keys to the support structure of our skin. This results in the improvement of fine lines, wrinkles, scars and other surface imperfections.

How to Prepare for a Laser Appointment

1. Shave the treatment area with a razor. Here’s why: Shaving is essential for greater comfort and efficacy.

2. Do not pluck, wax, sugar, or tweeze the area. Here’s why: Uprooting hair disrupts your hair growth cycle and delays permanent results. Additionally, exfoliation from waxing/sugaring may cause irritation to lasered skin.

3. Avoid exfoliation, peels, or products with exfoliating properties (e.g. AHAs or retinol) a week prior to your appointment.

4. Avoid heavy sun exposure and be sure to use SPF before and after your appointment.

5. Complete and read your pre-treatment forms (in your appointment email or online account) before your appointment—factors like antibiotic use may prevent treatment that day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is this a popular treatment?

Simply put:

It’s Safe: Gentle, non-invasive laser procedure

It’s Quick: 60-minute treatment

It’s Convenient: Minimal downtime

Here are the top 7 feedback comments we get from our guests who love this treatment:

Complete Skin Resurfacing: It addresses their top three common skin concerns in one treatment: wrinkles, sun damage, and facial veins. This comprehensive approach makes it an attractive option if you are looking to address multiple skin concerns without undergoing multiple different treatments.

Minimal Downtime: The treatment has minimal downtime (see minimal ‘downtime’ details in the FAQ), which is a significant advantage for people with busy schedules who cannot take time off for recovery.

Safe and Effective: The treatment is safe and effective for a wide range of skin types and concerns.

Non-Invasive: It is a non-invasive treatment, which means it does not involve any incisions or injections, making it a less intimidating option for people who are wary of more invasive procedures.

Ongoing Collagen Stimulation: The treatment stimulates the production of collagen for months after the last treatment, which helps to improve the long-lasting texture and tone of the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and acne scars.

Quick Procedure: The procedure itself is relatively quick, typically taking less than 75 minutes for the whole face, making it easy to fit into a busy schedule. It may take a little longer if you are also doing your neck, decollete, and hands.

Natural Results: The treatment offers natural-looking results, enhancing the skin’s appearance without making it look artificial or ‘done’.

What does a ThreeForMe treatment feel like?

First Pass: Photofacial (IPL Treatment): During the IPL treatment, you may feel a sensation similar to a rubber band snapping against your skin. It is often described as a mild stinging or pinching sensation. The IPL therapy targets the pigment in your skin, breaking down the pigment into tiny particles, which either rise to the surface of your skin or get absorbed by your body.

Second Pass: Fractional Laser: The Fractional laser part of the treatment involves using laser energy to create microchannels in the skin, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin. The sensation during this part of the treatment can be likened to a series of fast, hot pinches. Our system includes built-in cooling to minimize any discomfort.

When will I see results?

Typically, within 4-6 weeks after receiving a Three For Me blended treatment, you can expect a significant reduction in pigmentation, redness, and facial veins, as well as improved skin texture, reduced fine lines, and diminished pore appearance.

Your skin should feel smoother, firmer, and appear more youthful and radiant.

We recommend starting with 3 treatments (spaced 4-6 weeks apart) to see excellent, long-lasting results. If you have significant hyperpigmentation or deeper wrinkles, you may decide to have a few more treatments to clear and refine your skin. Each person’s skin is unique and individual experiences may vary. Our expert laser technicians will study your unique skin to give you personalized expected outcomes.

Overall results will continue to improve progressively over half a year after your last treatment as your skin naturally responds to the treatment with every natural skin cycle.

Can I treat other areas?

Yes! In addition to treating the face, Three for Me is a popular treatment for the neck, decolletage, and hands.

How many treatments will I need?

The number of treatments needed and the spacing between them can vary based on your specific skin concerns, your skin type, and the intensity of the concerns you are addressing.

Typically, here is what to expect:

Number of Treatments: Most people require about 3 sessions to see optimal, long-lasting results. However, severe cases of sun damage, hyperpigmentation, or wrinkles may require more sessions.
Spacing Between Treatments: Treatments are typically spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. This allows your skin to heal and regenerate after each session.

What is the downtime for ThreeForMe?

Other than the need to shield your skin from the sun, there is no ‘downtime’ in the sense of need to take time off work or other daily activities, but you may not want to schedule social events or have your picture for one week after your Three For Me treatment time because of the temporary effect:

In the week following the procedure, it is common to experience some swelling, darkening of pigmented areas, and sunburn-like redness. The skin might also feel somewhat dry and coarse during this period. This is a typical aspect of the healing journey, and a noticeable enhancement in the skin’s texture and tone should be apparent within a few weeks as your skin renews.

Dark Spots: Age spots or pigmented lesions (acne scars or sun spots)may appear darker immediately after the treatment. This is because the IPL treatment causes the pigment to break down and rise to the surface of the skin. Over the next few days to weeks, these darkened spots will gradually fade flake off.
Redness & Swelling: The treated area may be red and slightly swollen immediately after the treatment. This is a normal reaction and usually subsides within a week.
Broken capillaries: They may disappear immediately after the treatment or may appear darker before they fade away over the next few days to weeks.
Wrinkles, Fine Lines, and any Atrophic Scars: After one to two weeks, you will start to see an improvement in the texture and tone of your skin. Wrinkles may appear less pronounced, and cystic acne or chickenpox scars start to soften. The skin may still be pink or red, but this will gradually fade.

Over the next few weeks to months, the collagen remodeling process continues, which helps to reduce the appearance of your skin.

Your skin should exhibit a smoother, more toned, and youthful radiance. We recommend starting with three treatments, with each session spaced 4-6 weeks apart, to achieve optimal, enduring results. For those with pronounced hyperpigmentation or deeper wrinkles, additional treatments may be necessary to thoroughly rejuvenate and refine the skin.

It is important to note that individual experiences may vary, and your expert Total Wrapture laser technician will give you specific instructions on what to expect and how to take care of your unique skin after each treatment.

What are aftercare intructions for a wrinkle and pigmentation treatment?

Aftercare can be just as important as the treatment itself to achieve the best results. Here are some general aftercare guidelines. However, it is important to follow any personalized instructions given by your expert Total Wrapture laser technician for your unique skin:

Sun Protection: This is crucial after any laser treatment. Avoid direct sun exposure for at least one week after the treatment, and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. Wear a wide-brimmed hat if you need to briefly be outdoors.

Gentle Skincare: Use a gentle, non-abrasive cleanser and avoid using any products that might irritate the skin, such as products containing alcohol, retinoids, or glycolic acid, for at least one week after the treatment. Your laser technician can help you pick out gentle, pharmaceutical-grade skincare for your unique skin.

Moisturization: Keeping the skin moisturized is important to facilitate healing. Use a gentle, hypoallergenic moisturizer as recommended by your laser technician.

Avoid Heat: Avoid activities that can heat up the skin, such as hot showers, saunas, or strenuous exercise, for at least 48 hours after the treatment.

Avoid Makeup: It is usually recommended to avoid wearing makeup for at least 48 hours after the treatment to allow the skin to breathe and heal.

Avoid Picking: Do not pick, scratch, or rub the treated area. If you experience any peeling or flaking, let it come off naturally.

Cold Compress: Applying a cold compress to the treated area can help reduce swelling and soothe the skin. Do this as needed for the first 24-48 hours after the treatment.

Hydration: Drinking plenty of water helps to hydrate the skin from the inside out and facilitate the healing process.

What can I combine ThreeForMe with for a Non-Surgical Facelift?

ThreeForMe is often combined with contouring and tightening RF (radiofrequency) for a non-surgical facelift.

When moderate signs of aging become more prominent, this potent blend of treatments lifts and smoothes your face and facial contour.

Here’s How the Treatment Blend Works:

1 – The ThreeForMe procedure combines Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Photofacial and fractional laser treatments to stimulate skin cell turnover. The IPL Photofacial addresses skin discoloration, sun damage, age spots, and broken capillaries, while the fractional laser treatment targets wrinkles, scars, and skin texture irregularities.

How it works:

Tone: First, an IPL photofacial emits broad-spectrum light pulses that target melanin and hemoglobin in the skin. This process helps reduce skin discoloration, diminishes the appearance of sun damage, clears blemishes, and addresses redness, resulting in a more even skin tone and a rejuvenated complexion. Depending on your unique skin, your laser technician may recommend performing this step with a PicoSure Pigmentation laser.

Texture: Next, fractional laser works by delivering precise microbeams of laser energy to the skin, creating microscopic treatment zones. This stimulates the body’s natural healing response, promoting collagen production, and leading to improved skin texture and a reduction in wrinkles.

2 – TempSure RF for the full face and neck addresses skin tightening and firmness under your jawline as well as on your face and neck to sculpt and tone. How it works:

Firmness: This cutting-edge radiofrequency procedure harnesses the power of focused heat, penetrating multiple layers of your skin, to trigger your body’s natural capacity to generate collagen. The resulting collagen fibres are firm, robust, and infused with a renewed vitality at the cellular level. As a result, the skin regains tightness, and your facial contour, including the area along the lower jawline and below the cheeks are visibly sculpted, creating a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.

For moderate signs of aging, we recommend starting with 5 combined treatments (ThreeForMe + TempSure RF) about once a month. Think of it as your monthly skin gym!

What can I add to my routine to support my non-surgical facelift?

Facials

Receiving a monthly facial and incorporating pharmaceutical-grade skincare products into your daily routine significantly complement the rejuvenating effects of non-surgical facelift treatments for moderate and advanced signs of aging.

Regular facials, aligned with the natural skin cell cycle, provide deep cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration, promoting proper absorption of moisturizing skincare and helping preserve the skin’s barrier function to minimize wrinkle formation.

Alternate your monthly facial with an advanced treatment! Push in hyaluronic acid deep into your skin’s layers with a Beauty Booster.

Skincare Products

Integrating high-quality, active ingredient-based pharmaceutical-grade skincare products into your regimen enhances the benefits of RF and laser treatments by stimulating collagen production, enhancing moisture levels, reducing inflammation, and accelerating skin healing, resulting in improved skin rejuvenation and long-lasting outcomes.
