Treat the tissue—not just the arm. 💪✨

The upper arm is not one uniform treatment area. Skin thickness, fat distribution and proximity to bone can vary between the posterior arm, medial arm, deltoid and elbow.

For safer, more consistent RF microneedling treatment, assess each zone individually:

* Posterior arm: often requires evaluation of skin laxity and pinchable tissue.
* Medial arm: may have thinner tissue and greater sensitivity.
* Deltoid: tissue thickness can differ from the surrounding arm.
* Elbow area: has less soft-tissue coverage and is closer to bone, requiring careful planning.

Treatment parameters—including the tip, needle depth, energy and delivery mode—should be selected according to the patient’s anatomy, tissue thickness, pinchable fat and treatment goals.

With Burst technology, RF energy can be delivered at multiple depths during a single insertion. This can improve efficiency, but it also makes accurate assessment and zone-specific planning essential.

Assess the anatomy. Adjust the settings. Treat each zone intentionally. ✨

A little collaboration on breast cancer, HRT and weight-loss with Dr Terrel 🥰.

Have you ever known deep down that your body was changing and not for the better? The standard lab work said you were fine. I have been there. Around 2012, it started for me and took 11 years to get answers. Slowly the sleeplessness, fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, hair loss and weight gain (55 lbs to be exact) took over. Every year it got worse and every year I was “fine”, “it’s part of aging”, “ your thyroid is fine so it’s not hormones”, “your too young to have hormone problems “ “just stop eating so much and exercise more” You know the lines. If you are 40 or older, I bet you know exactly what I’m talking about. The frustration was overwhelming because life doesn’t stop, the world keeps turning and I had to keep moving forward.
That journey is exactly why I recorded this new episode of The Why. I brought on my very own medical provider, Deanna McAllister (FNP-BC, FAAFM), from Vanished Aesthetics & Wellness. When I first met Deanna, I was so frustrated that I just wanted to jump right onto a GLP-1 medication to lose the weight. But she took a step back to look at the whole picture. She helped me realize we had to heal the gut and address my sleep issues first! In this episode, we get completely real about:
✨ My personal journey through perimenopause, a hysterectomy, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
✨ Why we have to look deeper at complex health issues and why gut health and sleep matter so much.
✨ The careful, micro-dosed approach to weight loss medications to protect your muscle mass.
✨ How unexpected environmental factors, like mold toxicity, can actually perfectly mimic perimenopause symptoms.
✨ Why finding a specialist who focuses heavily on hormone health can be a game-changer for your long-term wellness. If you are looking for root-cause answers and want to learn how to advocate for your long-term health, please listen to this one. Your recipe for health is uniquely yours.

Be sure to tune in this Sunday to watch!

Acne scars don’t have to be permanent—but the right treatment depends on the type of scar you’re treating. ✨

If your goal is smoother texture, more even tone, and healthier-looking skin, here are 5 ways you can approach acne scarring:

🧪 Chemical exfoliants — help improve surface texture, discoloration, and clogged pores

✨ Retinol — increases cellular turnover and supports collagen remodeling over time

💧 Niacinamide — supports the skin barrier while helping calm inflammation and post-acne discoloration

⚡ Lasers — target texture, pigmentation, redness, and deeper collagen remodeling depending on the technology used

🪡 Microneedling + RF — creates controlled remodeling deeper within the skin to stimulate collagen and improve depressed/textural scars

☀️ And don’t forget sunscreen.
UV exposure can darken post-acne pigmentation and work against the collagen remodeling we’re trying to achieve. Daily broad-spectrum SPF 30–50 is one of the most important parts of protecting your results—especially when using retinoids, exfoliants, lasers, or other resurfacing treatments.

The catch? Acne scars aren’t all the same. Ice-pick, rolling, boxcar, hypertrophic scars, and post-inflammatory pigmentation can require very different treatment plans—and often the best results come from combining modalities rather than relying on one treatment.

Stop covering the scars. Let’s treat what created the texture. 🤎

✨ MICRONEEDLING- Why results may vary amongst facilities✨

Microneedling creates controlled microchannels that trigger the skin’s natural repair response. In the wrong hands you get damage or no results—but what’s paired with your treatment matters. 👇

🧬 PDRN / POLYNUCLEOTIDES
May support skin repair, hydration and overall skin quality.
⚠️ Possible risks: redness, swelling, irritation or inflammatory reactions. Research is promising but still developing.

🩸 PRP
Made from your own blood and rich in platelets and growth factors.

✨ May support healing, collagen remodeling and rejuvenation.
⚠️ Risks include bruising, swelling and infection.

🔬 EXOSOMES
Tiny particles involved in cell-to-cell communication and being studied for skin rejuvenation.
⚠️ Important: There are currently no FDA-approved exosome products.

💧 HYALURONIC ACID
Helps attract and retain moisture for hydrated, plumper-looking skin.
⚠️ Some formulations can cause irritation or reactions, particularly on compromised skin.

🍊 VITAMINS
Certain vitamin-based skincare products provide antioxidant and skin-supporting benefits.
⚠️ Not every vitamin serum or formulation is appropriate for freshly microneedled skin.

🌙 RETINOL
Supports cell turnover, texture, pigmentation and collagen over time.
⚠️ Retinol can increase burning, peeling and irritation after microneedling. Follow your provider’s instructions for stopping and restarting it.

THE TAKEAWAY ✨
Microneedling isn’t simply “needles + serum.” Product selection, formulation, sterility, treatment depth and professional technique all matter.

Always ask what is being applied to your skin—and why.

Educational content only. Individual results and risks vary. Not every product described is FDA-approved or FDA-cleared for use with microneedling.

We are always grateful for the patients who understand the importance of showing up for their scheduled appointments. We understand that sometimes things happen and life gets in the way and our policies are in place to remain available to you and to keep the doors open. When someone misses, it directly, affects our ability to replace that appointment, which provides the funds to pay the staff and cover the costs to be operational during that time.

The cost to bring a patient through the door exceeds the $95 we charge for a no-show or same day cancellation by more than triple. In a patient’s absence those costs still exist while the front desk and providers remain paid, the lights stay on, and all systems are still a go. A longer the appointment that was held the more catastrophic. It is the organization.

When you get frustrated with a business for upholding this type of policy, remember what happens when you don’t show up for work. If you can’t clock in, you don’t get paid. If you don’t make your appointment we paid for your spot. The team who showed up for you still got paid.

We always remain grateful that we can share this information with you so you can continue to help us grow. Thank you for your loyalty and commitment to Vanished.
