Wrestling wrinkles and loose skin can be challenging and sometimes a superior skincare routine isn’t enough. Enter Ultherapy® by Ulthera®. This gravity-defying device has been featured by Vogue Magazine, The Doctors Show, New Beauty Magazine, InStyle, The Wall Street Journal and many more. Unlike other techniques, Ultherapy allows practitioners to use sound waves to target the tissues deep under the skin to lift, tighten and tone, without disturbing the skin’s surface, in as little as 30-60 minutes. Aside from the external, visible effects, this non-invasive tissue-lifting technique helps with the stimulation and creation of new collagen to support youthful looking skin long after your procedure. Ultherapy uses your body’s own healing response to gently reinstate your skin and its underlying tissue’s “memory” and typically achieves this in only one treatment. While you’ll appreciate immediate effects following the procedure, you’ll continue to enjoy the compounded effect of new collagen production with optimal tightening in approximately 2-3 months. Many patients find it ideal for raising the brow and forehead skin, thus brightening and re-awakening eyes, and treating areas along the jaw line and neck. Perhaps you’ve tried Titan, Thermage® or other skin tightening procedures and are looking to take the next step. We’re pleased to announce that we are now offering this break-through service at Calidora™ Skin Clinic in downtown Seattle. With the completion of a medical consultation, we’ll have you on your way to tighter, toned and rejuvenated skin in no time – with no down time!

#1: See spots go!

Sun & Age Spot Removal reduces and removes brown spots caused by aging and sun damage from your face, neck, décolleté, shoulders and hands. This treatment is designed to clear your skin of sun spots and pigmentation and can be effective in reducing pore size as well. We utilize multiple lasers to ensure your skin is lighter and more radiant.

#2: Dread the Red? Make facial redness a thing of the past!

Small spider like veins, diffuse redness and conditions like rosacea are often caused by the aging process, overexposure to the sun, hormones and genetics. Our treatment for Veins & Diffuse Redness utilizes laser & light therapy to deliver a gentle burst of light that selectively heats and collapses blood vessels to reduce redness, banish broken capillaries and evens skin tone, without damaging the surrounding tissue. Unwanted reds and visible veins can easily be diminished with these treatments.

Other tips for great wedding day skin: All facials should have a décolleté add on. Beautiful skin doesn’t only have to be from the neck up! Make sure your chest is as fresh as your face. Additionally, back facials should also be considered, especially if you are prone to “backne”.

Don’t forget, most of this applies to grooms also, especially the microderm treatment, a favorite among men.

1-2 Days prior:  If you have any kind of pimple that pops up due to stress, don’t fret. Come in for a quick kenalog injection and that blemish will be gone within 24-48hrs!
