Skinsation, Franklin

Under the direction of Dr. Louis Huesmann, Skinsation's nurse practitioner, laser technicians, aestheticians, and weight-loss experts help men and women achieve their aesthetic goals with a wide range of advanced (and a few simple) treatments. Read on for a closer look at how Skinsation's health and beauty experts tweak looks:

• They have an arsenal of lasers: Using everything from a Pixel CO2 skin-resurfacing laser to an Alma Harmony XL laser paired with blue light, technicians can help soften fine lines, treat acne, fade dark spots, reduce hair growth, and remove tattoos.

• They inject fillers and wrinkle-fighters into faces: They might use Botox or Xeomin to paralyze wrinkle-causing facial muscles or Radiesse and Juvéderm to plump up wrinkles.

• They inject a solution composed of the client's own blood into the client's body: During PRP treatments, they remove blood from the client and then place it in a centrifuge to separate out the platelets, which encourage healing and boost collagen production. They mix up a serum with the platelets and inject it into the skin in an effort to smooth wrinkles, improve skin tone, and even promote hair growth on bald spots.

• They develop weight-loss plans: They create custom plans designed to help clients shed pounds and keep the weight off, often using aids such as lipotropic injections.
