Chemical Peels

A chemical peel is a treatment technique used to improve and smooth the texture of the neck, chest and facial skin using a chemical solution. The regenerated skin is smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin. Peels also help maintain clear skin in a regular skin regimen. Chemical peels may remove the accumulation of dead skin cells and open up the pores, making it easier for medications to penetrate the skin. There are several types of peels available. The deeper a peel penetrates, the more visible will be the results achieved. Selection of the type of peel and the best chemical for use in the process depends on the condition of the skin. Our peels range from superficial to medium/deep.

Microdermabrasion

This is a procedure in which the dead outermost surface of the skin is partially or completely removed by light abrasion, to remove skin and to remove or lessen scars and dark spots on the skin. A microdermabrasion, called "the new facial" in some circles, is a medical grade facial performed with a piece of equipment that applies small crystals to the face while simultaneously suctioning away crystals and exfoliated skin. This process can improve the skin's rough texture, any mild scarring, acne or irregular pigmentation. Microdermabrasion is not confined to the face; it can be performed on the chest, arms and back as well.

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Photo Facial/Photo Rejuvenation

IPL therapy is an intense light based source applied as a series of gentle pulses to the treatment area. How does it work? A broad spectrum of light is transmitted through a small, smooth, transparent hand piece which is gently placed over the skin. The light penetrates the tissue and is absorbed by either the blood when treating vascular lesions or the melanin when treating pigmented lesions damaging them. The body's natural processes then remove the injured tissue giving the skin a more even and youthful appearance. The benefits from IPL therapy are improved appearance due to sun spots, age spots, dull complexions, uneven pigments, and early signs of aging. IPL therapy can also be used to improve flushing skin, broken capillaries and Rosacea. There is little to no recovery period with this treatment.

Acne Facials

Acne affects almost everyone - more than 90% of all adolescents, nearly 50% of all adult women and 25% of all adults. Crossing gender lines as well as national borders, it's one of the most widespread medical conditions in the world. It's not your fault, however; contrary to popular belief, acne is not caused by anything you're doing, such as what you eat, but by a combination of factors at work far beneath the surface of your skin. We offer a variety of treatments that can help; treatments that are individually prescribed because everyone's condition differs in some way.

Customized Skin Care/Treatment Consultations

No two skin care problems will be identical, and correspondingly no two treatment plans will be identical. This is why it is extremely important that we have the opportunity to review the health of your skin and discuss the many options available for treatment, whether it involves a plan for anti-aging, a skin condition or pre-operative/post operative surgical care and healing. This is why a consultation with our Medical Aesthetician can be vital to an optimal treatment outcome.
