• At Sol Haus Aesthetics+Wellness+Boutique, we reduce facial wrinkles using individualized, evidence-based treatments chosen to match each patient’s skin type, concerns, and goals.

Microneedling

• How it works: Controlled micro-injuries stimulate collagen and elastin production, improving skin texture and reducing fine lines.

• Best for: Superficial lines, uneven texture, enlarged pores, and overall skin rejuvenation.

• Treatment course: Series of 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart; maintenance treatments as recommended.

• Downtime/side effects: Mild redness and swelling for 24–72 hours; minimal recovery.

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)

• How it works: Broad-spectrum light targets pigmentation and vascular damage, which can soften the appearance of wrinkles and improve skin tone.

• Best for: Photo-damaged skin, sunspots, broken capillaries, and superficial lines associated with uneven pigmentation.

• Treatment course: Typically 3–5 sessions spaced 3–6 weeks apart.

• Downtime/side effects: Temporary redness and darkening of pigmented spots before they flake off.

PDO Threads

• How it works: Dissolvable polydioxanone threads provide immediate lift and stimulate collagen production over months, improving sagging and deeper wrinkle lines.

• Best for: Nasolabial folds, jowls, marionette lines, and mild-to-moderate sagging.

• Treatment course: One procedure with results that improve over 3–6 months and can last 12–18 months or longer depending on the patient.

• Downtime/side effects: Bruising, swelling, and mild discomfort for several days to two weeks.

Neuromodulators (Dysport or Botox)

• How it works: Botulinum toxin temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles, reducing dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated expressions (forehead lines, glabellar “11s,” crow’s feet).

• Best for: Dynamic lines that appear with facial movement.

• Treatment course: Results appear within days and last 3–4 months on average; regular maintenance treatments required.

• Downtime/side effects: Minimal; possible temporary bruising or mild drooping when not placed correctly—performed by trained injectors.

Facial Fillers

• How it works: Hyaluronic acid or other FDA-approved fillers restore lost volume, smooth static wrinkles, and support soft tissues to reduce deeper creases.

• Best for: Nasolabial folds, marionette lines, hollow cheeks, and volume loss contributing to surface wrinkling.

• Treatment course: Immediate improvement; duration varies by product (6 months to 2 years).

Brown spots and unwanted pigment can be effectively reduced using targeted treatments like IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), chemical peels, and plasma skin treatments. Each method works differently and is chosen based on the type, depth, and cause of pigmentation, your skin type, and treatment goals.

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)

• How it works: IPL emits broad-spectrum light that is absorbed by pigment (melanin) and broken blood vessels. The light energy heats and fragments pigment particles, which are then cleared by the body’s immune system.

• Best for: Sun spots, age spots, freckling, and diffuse brown patches on lighter skin types. Also improves redness, broken capillaries, and overall skin tone.

• Sessions & downtime: Typically 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Mild redness and temporary darkening of spots can occur for a few days; minimal downtime.

• Results: Gradual fading over several weeks; maintenance treatments every 6–12 months may be recommended.

Chemical Peels

• How they work: Chemical solutions (glycolic, lactic, TCA, salicylic, or blends) are applied to exfoliate and remove outer skin layers. This stimulates cell turnover and reduces superficial pigment.

• Best for: Superficial hyperpigmentation, sun damage, uneven texture, and pigmentation caused by melasma (with appropriate peel selection and care).

• Strengths & downtime: Light peels require minimal downtime; medium peels (TCA) produce more noticeable peeling and 3–7 days of recovery. Deeper peels have longer downtime and are used less commonly for pigment due to risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in darker skin tones.

• Results: Improvement after one peel with optimal results from a series. Combining peels with topical brighteners enhances outcomes.

Plasma Skin Treatments (Plasma Pen/Plasma RF)

• How they work: Plasma devices create a controlled micro-injury using ionized gas energy (or radiofrequency with plasma-like delivery), which triggers collagen remodeling and epidermal renewal. The treatment can pinpoint and lift pigmented lesions and improve skin texture.

• Best for: Superficial to moderately deep pigment, sun-damaged skin, and tightening of lax skin around the eyes and face. Useful when precision is needed on small spots or textured pigmented areas.

• Sessions & downtime: Often requires 1–3 sessions. Expect a few days to 1–2 weeks of visible healing depending on intensity; crusting of treated points is common and must be cared for gently.

• Results: Notable improvement in texture and pigment with progressive collagen remodeling over weeks to months.

Combination approach and individualized plans

• Many clients achieve the best results by combining modalities: e.g., IPL or laser for broader areas, chemical peels for superficial blending, and plasma treatments for precise correction and tightening.

• Pre- and post-treatment skin prep (topical lightening agents like hydroquinone alternatives, retinoids, sunscreen) reduces risk of rebound pigmentation and improves outcomes.

• For darker skin tones or melasma, careful selection of treatment type, lower-fluence settings, and conservative progression are essential to avoid post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Safety and consultation

• A tailored consultation evaluates skin type, medical history, current skincare, and sun exposure to choose the safest, most effective option.

• Expect guidance on pre-treatment skin preparation, sun avoidance, prescribed topical agents, and post-care to optimize healing and long-term results.

At Sol Haus Aesthetics+Wellness+Boutique we design individualized treatment plans combining IPL, chemical peels, and plasma therapies as appropriate, paired with professional skincare and aftercare to safely reduce brown spots and achieve even, radiant skin.

We treat acne scarring with targeted, medical-grade procedures tailored to your skin and goals: Microneedling, Plasma Pen, and PDO Threads.

• Microneedling: Controlled micro-injuries stimulate collagen and elastin production to improve texture, reduce pitting, and smooth scars. Ideal for rolling and shallow boxcar scars; can be combined with topical serums or PRP for enhanced results. Multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart are typically recommended.

• Plasma Pen: A non-surgical fibroblast treatment that resurfaces the skin by creating precise thermal micro-injuries. Particularly effective for moderate surface scarring and skin tightening, improving overall texture and pigmentation with progressive results over weeks to months.

• PDO Threads: Absorbable polydioxanone threads provide structural support and stimulate collagen remodeling beneath the skin. Useful for tethered scars and areas where lifting and volumization are needed to smooth depressed scars.

Your provider will evaluate scar type, skin tone, medical history, and downtime expectations to recommend the best modality or combination plan. Treatment may require a series of sessions and involves minor downtime, post-procedure care, and sun protection to optimize healing and outcomes. For a personalized consultation and treatment plan, schedule an appointment with our medical aesthetics team.

We reset sagging skin with targeted, minimally invasive treatments that restore lift, tighten tissue, and stimulate collagen for natural-looking rejuvenation.

PDO Threads (lift and tighten)

• What it is: Absorbable polydioxanone (PDO) threads are placed beneath the skin to physically lift drooping tissue and immediately reposition the facial contours.

• How it works: Threads provide an instant mechanical lift and act as a scaffold that stimulates new collagen and elastin production over weeks to months.

• Ideal for: Mild-to-moderate jowling, cheek descent, lax neck skin, and soft tissue repositioning without surgery.

• Benefits: Immediate visible lift, progressive improvement over 3–6 months, minimal downtime, long-lasting results as collagen remodels.

• Typical course: Single in-office treatment; results last 12–24 months depending on thread type and individual aging factors.

PDO Liquid Threads

• What it is: A cocktail of absorbable PDO threads in a gel-like suspension placed into areas of volume loss to smooth, tighten, and encourage tissue regeneration.

• How it works: Liquid threads create a mesh under the skin that prompts collagen formation and subtly contours without larger lifting threads.

• Ideal for: Fine surface laxity, superficial crepey skin, and areas where volume and texture improvement are desired without mechanical lifting.

• Benefits: Less invasive, natural surface firming, improved skin texture, and collagen stimulation.

Laser Treatments and IPL Combined with Microneedling

• What they are: Fractional laser resurfacing or intense pulsed light (IPL) paired with microneedling to address both superficial and deeper layers of the skin.

• How the combination works: Microneedling creates microchannels that stimulate collagen and increase penetration; lasers or IPL target pigmentation, vascular issues, and deeper collagen remodeling for comprehensive renewal.

• Ideal for: Skin laxity, uneven texture, fine lines, sun damage, broken capillaries, and combined aging signs.

• Benefits: Enhanced collagen induction, improved skin tone and texture, reduced pigmentation and redness, and more lifted appearance when combined with collagen-stimulating modalities.

Treatment planning and safety

• Individualized approach: We assess skin laxity, tissue quality, medical history, and goals to recommend the optimal modality or combination (PDO lift, liquid threads, laser/IPL + microneedling, or a staged protocol).

• Downtime and aftercare: PDO thread procedures typically have minimal downtime (bruising, mild swelling). Combined laser/microneedling may require several days to a week of healing depending on intensity. Aftercare guidance minimizes complications and maximizes collagen response.

• Realistic expectations: Immediate improvement with threads and progressive tightening over months. Laser/IPL + microneedling produces gradual improvement over multiple sessions.

• Safety: Performed by trained providers using sterile technique and appropriate anesthetic and pre/post-procedure protocols to minimize risk.

Who benefits most

• Patients seeking significant improvement without surgery

• Those wanting to firm and lift sagging skin while avoiding the downtime and invasiveness of facelift surgery

• People with combined concerns—laxity, texture change, pigmentation—who benefit from a multimodal plan

Consultation

• We recommend a personalized consultation to evaluate your skin and create a stepwise plan tailored to your goals—whether a single PDO lift, liquid thread texturizing, or a combined resurfacing.

Thinnr Weightloss Tincture

• What it is: Thinnr is a liquid weight-loss tincture formulated to support appetite control and metabolic function. It combines herbal extracts, vitamins, and botanical compounds designed to be taken sublingually or added to water according to product instructions.

• How it works: Ingredients typically focus on suppressing cravings, stabilizing blood sugar, supporting digestion, and providing mild metabolic support. Results are most pronounced when used alongside a calorie-controlled diet, regular activity, and behavior changes. Thinnr is intended as a non-prescription, adjunctive tool for people seeking gradual, sustainable weight loss or extra support during lifestyle changes.

• Typical benefits: Reduced hunger and cravings, improved portion control, more consistent energy, and gentle support for metabolic processes.

• Who it’s best for: People looking to lose modest amounts of weight, those who prefer botanical/over-the-counter approaches, or clients wanting a non-invasive complement to diet and exercise.

• Safety and considerations: Ingredients vary by formulation; always review the label for stimulants (caffeine, synephrine), herb-drug interactions, and allergens. Consult your medical provider if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, a history of psychiatric conditions, or take prescription medications. Discontinue use and seek medical advice if you experience palpitations, chest pain, severe headache, dizziness, shortness of breath, or mood changes.

GLP-1 Treatments (for more advanced weight loss—typically >30 pounds)

• What GLP-1 treatments are: GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonists are prescription medications originally developed for type 2 diabetes that have proven highly effective for weight loss. Common GLP-1 medications used for weight management include semaglutide and tirzepatide (a dual GIP/GLP-1 agonist), though specific brand names and formulations vary. These are administered by subcutaneous injection at intervals determined by the product (weekly for many options).

• How they work: GLP-1 agonists mimic a gut hormone that increases feelings of fullness, slows gastric emptying, reduces appetite and food intake, and improves glucose regulation. The combination effect leads to significant, clinically meaningful weight loss when used with lifestyle changes.

• Typical benefits: Average weight loss in clinical trials ranges from roughly 10% to 20% (or more) of body weight depending on the medication and dose, with many patients losing 30+ pounds when therapy is supervised and paired with nutrition and activity counseling. Additional benefits can include improved blood sugar control, lower blood pressure, and improved metabolic markers.

• Who it’s best for: People with obesity (BMI criteria typically apply) or those with overweight plus weight-related health conditions, particularly when lifestyle measures alone have not delivered sufficient results. Appropriate for patients seeking greater weight loss than over-the-counter or supplement approaches can reliably provide.

• Treatment course and monitoring: GLP-1 therapy is prescription-only and initiated under medical supervision. Treatment usually begins at a low dose to reduce gastrointestinal side effects and is gradually titrated to an effective dose. Ongoing follow-up includes monitoring weight, blood pressure, glucose (if diabetic), and potential side effects.

• Safety and considerations: Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and decreased appetite—often most noticeable during dose escalation and typically improving over time. Less common but serious considerations include risk of pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, and rare reports of thyroid C-cell tumors in rodents (clinical relevance in humans remains under study). GLP-1s can affect blood glucose; people on diabetes medications or insulin may need dose adjustments to avoid hypoglycemia. Discuss full medical history, current medications, pregnancy plans, and family history of thyroid cancer with your provider before starting therapy.

Choosing between Thinnr tincture and GLP-1 therapy

• For modest weight goals or preference for non-prescription, botanical approaches, Thinnr may offer helpful adjunct support.

• For people needing substantial weight loss (commonly >30 pounds) or with obesity-related health concerns, GLP-1 receptor agonists are evidence-based, medically supervised options with the largest and most predictable weight-loss outcomes.

• A personalized plan—developed with a clinician who can assess medical history, medications, and realistic goals—ensures safe, effective selection and monitoring.
