At WellSkin Med Spa in Dallas, TX, we’re in the business of helping patients achieve their most beautiful skin possible. And now, you can improve your skin after just one treatment session with WiQo, an innovative anti-aging topical treatment that can transform your complexion. After just one treatment, you’ll see a visible improvement in your skin and will not only love your complexion but will have a renewed sense of confidence.
What Is WiQo?
WiQo is an innovative anti-aging skin-perfecting professional treatment designed to improve the complexion. But, don’t get it confused with a chemical peel. When you undergo the treatment process, your skin will not peel or frost in any way. The ingredients in the WiQo treatment are designed to help uncover a beautiful complexion while stimulating collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin.
If It Isn’t a Peel, What Is It?
Since this treatment is not a chemical peel, you may be wondering what it is. WiQo is a professional skin care treatment in a liquid topical form that stimulates collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin. When applied to the skin’s surface, it is absorbed into the dermis. You won’t have to worry about post-treatment peeling or downtime often accompanied by most chemical peels, regardless of their strength. This product is a Topical Collagen Biostimulator™ which means that it provides many of the collagen-stimulating benefits of peels by penetrating the deep layers of skin and promoting skin turnover without removing the epidermis.
How Does WiQo Work?
WiQo treatments are designed to stimulate your skin’s natural rejuvenation processes without needles or downtime. The treatment uses a patented formula combining 33% TCA (trichloroacetic acid) and hydrogen peroxide to deeply penetrate the skin while leaving the surface intact. Hydrogen peroxide enhances the skin’s tolerance to TCA by modulating its activity, ensuring the treatment is effective without damaging the skin’s surface. It also has antibacterial and oxygenating properties that improve skin healing and rejuvenation.
What Does It Treat?
This liquid application treatment can be applied to different areas of the body, but the most common treatment area is the face. Patients schedule this treatment to enhance the appearance of the skin on their faces, necks, décolleté, or different areas of the body. Additionally, patients schedule this treatment to help improve the appearance of stretch marks and depressed scars, including acne scars and other similar recent scars.
A Closer Look at the Benefits of WiQo
Treatment of Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Fine lines and wrinkles often develop due to a combination of natural aging, sun exposure, and repetitive facial movements that degrade skin elasticity over time. WiQo encourages smoother, more resilient skin, which can soften the appearance of creases. Its unique formula supports the skin’s ability to recover from environmental stress, leaving it looking refreshed and revitalized.
Skin Tightening and Firmness
As collagen production slows with age, the skin may begin to sag or lose its firmness, particularly around the jawline or cheeks. A Topical Collagen Biostimulator works beneath the surface to tighten and firm. This non-invasive approach strengthens the skin’s structural integrity without disrupting your daily routine.
Improved Skin Texture
Uneven skin texture, whether caused by rough patches, scars, or environmental damage, can make skin appear less youthful. WiQo helps refine and smooth the surface by supporting cellular turnover and replenishing hydration in the deeper layers. The result is a more even, touchable complexion that feels as good as it looks.
Treatment of Acne Scars
Acne scars, particularly pitted or rolling scars, are often the result of insufficient collagen production during the healing process. This advanced formulation remodels scarred tissue by encouraging the growth of healthier skin. Over time, this can visibly diminish the depth and appearance of scars and restore a more uniform look to the skin.
Stretch Mark Treatment
Stretch marks occur when rapid changes in weight or growth stretch the skin beyond its capacity, leading to visible tears in the dermis. These marks often leave skin looking uneven or discolored. WiQo improves the texture and tone of affected areas and helps to blend stretch marks into the surrounding skin.
Skin Health and Preventative Benefits
Daily exposure to UV rays, pollution, and other stressors can weaken skin and accelerate the signs of aging. WiQo not only helps repair existing damage but also supports long-term skin health by fortifying its defenses. This keeps your complexion looking youthful and radiant.
Treatment of Pigmentation Concerns
Dark spots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and melasma are common pigmentation issues caused by sun exposure, hormonal changes, or inflammation. WiQo promotes even skin tone and reduces discoloration. By encouraging a balanced complexion, this treatment helps minimize the visibility of pigmentation irregularities over time.
Brightening of Dull Skin
Dull skin can result from factors like dehydration, poor circulation, or a buildup of dead cells on the surface. WiQo helps restore a healthy glow by enhancing skin vitality helping the skin to get rid of dead skin cells. The treatment leaves your skin looking naturally radiant and refreshed without harsh exfoliation.
Treatment of Blackheads and Enlarged Pores
Blackheads and enlarged pores often result from excess oil production and debris accumulating within the pores. We can minimize the appearance of pores by supporting skin renewal and improving texture using this treatment. As pores appear smaller and less noticeable, your complexion takes on a smoother, clearer finish.
Why Choose WiQo?
It Is Suitable Year-Round
Unlike some treatments that are limited to specific seasons, WiQo can be performed at any time of year, regardless of sun exposure or weather conditions. This makes it convenient for patients with active lifestyles or those preparing for special events.
Patients of All Skin Types Can Use This Treatment
WiQo is designed to be effective and safe for all skin types, including patients with darker skin tones who are often at higher risk of hyperpigmentation with certain treatments. Its patented formula works without disrupting the skin’s outer layers, which minimizes the risk of irritation or adverse reactions.
Treatment Is Non-Invasive
WiQo delivers transformative results without needles, incisions, or other invasive techniques. This non-invasive approach reduces the risk of complications and eliminates the need for anesthesia or extended recovery time. You can return to your normal activities immediately after your session.
Fast Treatments
Each WiQo session takes only about 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated. This quick turnaround time makes it an excellent lunchtime treatment. Despite the short duration, the treatment provides lasting benefits that improve with regular sessions.
How Do I Prepare for a Treatment?
In order to achieve the best results, we will ask you to take some necessary steps to prepare your skin for the treatment process. We typically ask patients to stop using certain topical products that contain anti-aging ingredients, including AHAs and retinoic acid. If your skin tolerates retinol, you may be able to continue use in combination with this treatment.
One of our experts will evaluate your skin, learn more about your skin care product regimen, and give you further instructions on what to avoid and what you can continue using. We also ask patients to avoid excess sun exposure in the days leading up to their treatment to avoid sunburn. If you must be in the sun, wear sunscreen, protective clothing, a hat, and sunglasses to protect your skin.
What Happens During the Treatment Process?
Once you arrive for your treatment, we will situate you in one of our treatment rooms. Then, your esthetician will gently cleanse your skin. We may apply a small sample of the treatment on a certain area of the skin to test it before applying it to your planned treatment area. The treatment process involves the massage-like application of the WiQo liquid solution to the skin.
You may feel a warm sensation, which is normal and simply indicates that the treatment is doing its job. Your esthetician will apply the necessary number of product layers to your skin to address your specific concern. Then, once the solution has remained on your skin for a specific period of time, your technician will wash it off and apply a post-treatment cream to help comfort your skin and enhance your treatment results.
Maintaining Your Results At Home
The PRX Derm Perfexion Home Care Kit includes products specifically designed to support and enhance the results of your WiQo treatment. The kit features a nourishing moisturizer that helps maintain hydration and a gentle cleanser to keep your skin clear without disrupting its natural balance. These products work together to protect the skin’s barrier, promote ongoing collagen stimulation, and prolong the visible improvements achieved during your sessions. Regular use as directed ensures your skin continues to feel smooth, look radiant, and stay healthy.
Frequently Asked Questions About WiQo
Is It Painful?
Patients don’t describe this treatment as painful or uncomfortable. It will create a warming sensation in the treatment area, which is quite tolerable. If you feel uncomfortable at any point, you can let your esthetician know so that she can take the necessary measures to help maintain your comfort throughout the rest of the treatment.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Once you undergo this treatment, expect immediate results. However, each treatment builds upon the one before it, so you will continue to see improved results as you schedule more treatments. We typically recommend a treatment plan that includes anywhere from four to six treatments.
Treatments are typically scheduled with one week between each to achieve the best results. However, we will design the right treatment plan for you based on your ultimate skincare goals, concerns, and needs.
What Kind of Results Can I Expect?
Patients who undergo this treatment can expect more youthful skin immediately following the treatment process. The results will continue to develop in the weeks following your treatment, especially when you schedule the recommended number of treatments as prescribed by your esthetician. Patients who schedule this treatment experience fuller, tighter, and brighter skin. Expect your skin to exude radiance and youth after your treatment.
How Long Will My Results Last?
The longevity of WiQo results varies depending on factors such as your skin type, age, and how well you follow an at-home regimen. Many patients notice improvements for several months after their initial series of treatments, especially when combined with a proper skincare routine. Maintenance sessions may be recommended to sustain and enhance your results over time.
Can WiQo Be Combined With Other Treatments?
WiQo can complement treatments like microneedling, laser therapy, and RF skin rejuvenation to achieve more comprehensive results. For example, combining WiQo with microneedling can enhance collagen production at multiple layers of the skin, while laser treatments or RF therapy can target specific concerns like pigmentation or laxity. Because every patient’s skin is unique, a consultation is the best way to determine how WiQo can be integrated into your personalized treatment plan.
Is There Any Post-Treatment Downtime?
Since this treatment will not cause peeling or frosting, you won’t have to plan around downtime. However, we will provide you with some specific instructions on caring for your skin in the days following your treatment. You may be directed to apply some specific topical products to your skin to soothe the area and enhance your results. Your esthetician will provide you with all the necessary instructions on how to care for your skin.
If at any point you have questions, you can simply call our office to get answers. We ask patients to avoid saunas and other forms of heat and steam for the first few days post-treatment. You should also make sure that you are wearing high-quality sunscreen when you are exposed to the sun in any way. Other than some post-care instructions and directives, you can resume your normal daily activities once your treatment is over.
