If you're in your 50s (or 60s) and feel like your skin just doesn’t bounce back the way it used to… sun spots stick around, fine lines are more noticeable, and broken capillaries pop up out of nowhere, you're not imagining it.
Skin naturally changes as we age. And while there's no shame in aging (we're all for embracing it!), that doesn't mean you can't give your skin a little boost.
One of our favorite and best laser treatment for your50s is the ThreeForMe™ laser. It’s quick, super effective, and tackles the top three skin concerns most women mention when they come in: wrinkles, sun damage, and visible facial veins.
Let’s walk through it together so you know exactly what to expect.
What Is the ThreeForMe™ Laser?
Think of the ThreeForMe™ as a two-in-one facial upgrade. It's done with the advanced Icon™ laser system, which combines two different laser technologies in one treatment session.
Here’s how it works:
Step 1: IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)
This part focuses on discoloration, things like sun spots, brown spots, freckles, and those tiny veins that tend to show up on the nose and cheeks (especially if you deal with rosacea). The IPL light gently targets all that unevenness and helps fade it out over the next few weeks.
Step 2: Fractional Laser
After that, we switch to a second laser that works deeper in the skin. It sends out little microbeams that trigger your skin to start producing more collagen and elastin. These are the two magic ingredients that keep skin firm, smooth, and lifted. So this step helps soften fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars while giving your skin that glowy, fresh look.
All in all, it’s like hitting the reset button on your skin without needing multiple different treatments.
What’s It Like to Get the Treatment?
The whole thing takes about 45 minutes, start to finish. You can literally do it on your lunch break.
We’ll apply a numbing cream first so you’re comfortable, and during the treatment, most people say it just feels like a little snapping on the skin, kind of like a rubber band. Not exactly spa-like, but definitely manageable.
Is There Any Downtime?
Not much! That’s another reason we recommend it for people with busy lives.
Right after your treatment, your skin might be a little red or puffy, similar to a mild sunburn. That usually fades in a day or two. The spots that were treated with the IPL might darken slightly before they flake off, kind of like coffee grounds falling away. It’s completely normal and part of the process.
You can go back to your regular routine the same day, but we do recommend skipping things like hot yoga or intense workouts for 24 hours, just to let your skin settle.
When Will I See Results?
You’ll start to notice improvements in tone and clarity pretty quickly, within the first week or two. The collagen-building effects take a little longer, and your skin will continue improving over the next 3 to 6 months.
Most people see the best results with a series of 2 to 3 sessions, spaced about a month apart. But even one treatment can make a visible difference.
Why We Recommend It for Women in Their 50s
At this stage, your skin is starting to reflect more of the life you’ve lived—sun exposure, hormones, stress, and maybe not enough SPF in your 20s (we’ve all been there).
The ThreeForMe™ is ideal because it doesn’t just mask those signs of aging, rather it actively helps your skin rebuild itself. That means you get longer-lasting results compared to a basic facial, and you don’t need to schedule a bunch of different appointments to address each concern.
It’s all-in-one, and it fits easily into a busy schedule.
