MedSpa in Pittsburgh, PA

Body contouring is for people that want to make full body changes that will take multiple different treatments to hit their goal. If you want to fit back into your favorite jeans, look better in your bikinis for the summer, or even just feel more confident in the mirror, then body contouring is for you.

Body contouring starts with generating a plan with us to decide what treatments you will need to hit your goals. This could include any combination of the available treatments such as laser lipo, skin tightening, cellulite removal, and more. Depending on how you want to look we will work with you to find a plan suitable for your needs. All of our treatments are noninvasive and come with no downtime.

This means that no matter what treatment you come in for during your body contouring, you will be able to leave our clinic and return to your daily routine. You also avoid the risks associated with surgeries such as infection or internal damage.

At LightRx we offer an accessible, easy, and noninvasive solution for cellulite reduction. Cellulite is the result of weakened skin fibers that are responsible for keeping the skin tight. These fibers, known as collagen, deteriorate over time.

Once they weaken it allows the fatty layer beneath the skin to rise up in certain areas, creating the undulation or “cottage cheese” look on the skin. The method we use to reduce cellulite is to heat the skin up with electromagnetic waves and radio frequencies targeted to a specific temperature that triggers the body’s natural healing process. This healing process creates new collagen which tightens the skin, effectively reducing the appearance of cellulite.

Skin tightening works similarly to cellulite reduction in that we heat the skin up without damaging it and trigger the body’s natural healing process. Instead of cellulite we target loose or wrinkled skin. We can apply this to any area of the body that may have wrinkled or loose skin, such as the face, arms, abdomen, and more.

In addition to the electromagnetic waves and radio frequencies used in cellulite removal we also employ low level lasers to help the heating process and pinpoint more exact areas. This is especially useful with wrinkled skin in tight areas such as the face. The treatment takes about six months to reach full efficacy and with proper skin care as well as good UV protection results can last three years.

Laser lipo uses low level lasers to melt the fat beneath the skin. This fat is transformed to glycerides and free fatty acids. These are then moved to the muscles of the body where they will be burned off during exercise following the treatment session. Typically, the muscles use fat stored in the body to create energy when used, but they get it from just anywhere. With laser lipo it is already broken down and provided for the muscles to use as energy, and since the laser lipo targets a specific area that is the part of the body that loses the fat.

If you want to lose weight in your abdomen then we laser the abdomen, and the fat from that area is what is burned. This can be applied to nearly any part of the body, including the thighs, buttocks, arms, or even “love handles.” Moreover, since the treatment is noninvasive, surgery free it means that the treatment is much safer than traditional liposuction. It is also much more cost effective, since the treatment comes with no downtime, there is no loss of work time or need to use vacation days.

Has your skin felt dry, tight, and flaky lately? Have you been busier than usual and haven’t had time to properly hydrate your skin? If you look in the mirror and see dull, drab skin in your reflection, maybe you should consider treating yourself to a HydraFacial.

HydraFacial is a skin resurfacing treatment that delivers a combination of deep cleansing and gentle exfoliation to remove dead skin cells and reveal fresh layers of new skin. This is followed by an infusion of hydrating serums that will plump your skin and make it glow. Think you don’t have time to treat yourself to a HydraFacial? Think again. The entire treatment takes around 30 minutes, so you can come in on your lunch break, get a HydraFacial, and then head back to work with a youthful glow and more radiant skin tone.

Laser hair removal in Pittsburgh is the best way to have smooth hairless skin. Laser hair removal is more permanent than waxing, shaving, or creams. This is because laser hair removal targets the hair follicles directly.

Using low level lasers, we heat the skin to the perfect temperature to destroy the skin follicles without damaging the skin itself. Since the follicles are responsible for growing the hairs, destroying them ensures that hair will not grow back from there.

Typically, it takes four to six sessions to reach full results, and each session takes around 45 minutes depending on the surface area of the targeted area. Most people see partial results following the first session. Also due to the nature of the treatment there are no bumps, nicks, scratches, or razor burn following treatment.

Wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, and other skin conditions can prematurely age your skin, adding years to your looks. Lasers are an excellent choice to combat premature aging. Our facial rejuvenation treatments target these and other skin conditions without the downtime other laser skin resurfacing procedures require.

The Venus Viva uses radio frequency skin resurfacing to tighten existing collagen fibers and stimulate new collagen growth while the Venus Glow uses a three-pronged approach designed to deep-clean pores and remove impurities. The Aerolase Neo Elite is our most advanced laser that targets many skin conditions with unmatched efficacy. Whatever your concern, we have a treatment for you.

Non-invasive liposuction is so popular amongst our clients because it really works and it doesn’t require an invasive surgical procedure like traditional liposuction or plastic surgery. Non-surgical laser fat removal takes less than an hour, it’s painless, and it doesn’t even require anesthesia or downtime following the treatment. 

During your treatment, a member of our staff of highly trained and highly skilled cosmetic professionals will use a device that will melt and destroy the unwanted fat cells in your treatment area.

The melted and destroyed fat cells will then be removed through your body’s natural processes via the lymphatic system. As they are removed over the following weeks and months after your treatment, you will see better and better results. The laser energy also produces new collagen production which can tighten loose skin, producing a more youthful appearance.

Pittsburgh Botox plastic surgery injections are commonly used to decrease the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, contributing to a more youthful aesthetic. 

These injectables work by halting nerve signals in the muscles where it’s injected, leading to temporary muscle paralysis that results in smoother skin. The treatment is quick, often completed in less than an hour, with no downtime required. 

Beyond beauty benefits, Botox cosmetic injections also have therapeutic uses, helping with conditions such as chronic migraines, excessive sweating, and certain muscle disorders. 

When injected into the facial muscles, Pittsburgh Botox offers impressive aesthetic improvement and therapeutic relief. While the full results from this valuable med spa treatment can take up two weeks to see, our clients enjoy the benefits for several months.
