Skin Triage
Our Phoenix, AZ practice is proud to offer advanced skin triage for men only. Skin Triage with the Venus Versa is the ultimate combination of noninvasive, nonsurgical anti-aging skin treatments. Utilizing intense pulsed light (IPL) laser photofacial, radio frequency (RF) energy, and nano fractional ablation also known as radiofrequency (RF) microneedling. Our men’s Skin Triage evens your skin tone, reduces wrinkles and sagging, and breaks down scars (including acne scars) and other imperfections of the skin using 3 technologies in one visit.
Dr. Ryan Krch and his staff are highly skilled in Venus Versa technology and can perform the Skin Triage combination treatment to address all types of skin concerns that result from the sun, stress, or aging. For the ultimate healthy young skin, Dr. Ryan combines the following treatments into one remarkable Skin Triage treatment:
- IPL photofacial technology, which can reduce sun and environmental damage, age spots, spider veins, and more. It also works with your skin to stimulate your body’s natural collagen production.
- RF heat delivery to multiple layers of tissue simultaneously to improve blood flow and stimulate your body’s natural collagen and elastin to tighten skin.
- RF micro-needling or Nanofractional ablation, which utilizes micro-pins to create micro-traumas deep within the tissue. As the micro-traumas heal, fine lines, deep wrinkles, and scarring are reduced, creating tighter, firmer skin.
A synergistic addition to Skin Triage is platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. PRP therapy can improve volume in the mid- and lower face (lips, tear troughs, and cheeks), significantly reducing the look of lines and wrinkles and reverse aging while restoring a very sharp masculine appearance. PRP also boosts your body’s collagen and assists in the overall healing process accelerating the effects of Triage.
Ideal candidates for Skin Triage
Men who experience multiple types of skin imperfections but want gradual, natural-looking results instead of instant, obvious changes are the best candidates for Skin Triage. Address all those issues in a single procedure. Due to its triple-treatment nature, Skin Triage can benefit those with dynamic deep and fine wrinkles, volume loss, elasticity loss, sun damage, age spots, spider veins, scars, rough texture – or combinations of any of the above. IPL, RF, and RF Micro-needling are safe for most individuals and skin types; however, if you have anemia or a blood disorder, talk to Dr. Ryan about whether PRP therapy is right for you.

What to expect from your Skin Triage Treatment
Because Skin Triage combines three treatments, the downtime is longer than any of the three treatments performed alone. You can expect a downtime of about 1-2 days during which there will be some redness in the treated areas. It can look like you have a minor sunburn. Most of the minor discomfort you may feel resolves within hours of your treatment and can be easily managed by Tylenol. You’ll need to skip applying anything to your face for 2 days and stay out of the sun for a week. (Dr. Ryan will discuss this with you for your specific case). Always apply a 30+ SPF sunscreen and wear sun-protective clothing and gear. Sunscreen can be applied after 48 hours. You may see some results after your skin has completely healed from your first session, but at least three sessions are recommended to get the optimum outcome. Most patients report having clearer and more even skin tone, increased elasticity and thickness, smoother texture, and overall more youthful skin.
