OxyTrio Facial
This oxygenating, three-step antioxidant therapy supports the skin’s metabolism. OxyTrio Facial draws oxygen to the skin’s surface, producing a rosy flush and a rapid warming sensation, resulting in a radiant, healthy look. Appropriate for use between peel treatments or when exfoliation or flaking is not desired. An ideal treatment a few days before a special occasion.
Custom Peels
PCA SKIN
PCA SKIN peels treat all skin types – even those with sensitive skin. PCA SKIN peels treat and improve various skin concerns, including acne, scarring, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, fine lines, and wrinkles.
VI Peel
VI Peels are suitable for various skin types, including darker tones. They offer specifically designed treatments that are convenient and targeted to address anti-aging, hyperpigmentation, sun spots, damaged skin, acne-prone skin, and acne scarring. The VI Peel Portfolio provides dramatic results with no skin preparation and minimal downtime.
Hydrafacial™
The Hydrafacial is a non-laser skin resurfacing procedure that delivers immediate, long-term results for all skin types, with absolutely no downtime. This multi-step treatment provides cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and hydration, while infusing antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, and peptides deep into your skin.
Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive form of manual exfoliation that resurfaces sun-damaged, dull, and dehydrated skin. The use of a sterile, surgical blade gently removes the top layer of dead skin cells along with fine vellus hair, leaving the complexion smooth, soft, and vibrant. For best results, follow with a facial or custom peel.
SKIN RESURFACING PROCEDURES
Laser Facial
This lunchtime laser skin treatment is used to improve redness, pore size, small scars, and, in darker skin types, uneven skin tone, with no downtime. The Laser Facial works by gently heating the skin with laser energy to help restore the skin’s youthful glow.
Microneedling
The gold standard in microneedling, SkinPen®, is designed to stimulate your skin’s natural ability to form new collagen, creating healthier skin, and can be used to improve the appearance of scars, hyperpigmentation, stretch marks, skin texture, and fine lines and wrinkles. SkinPen Precision is the only advanced, medical-grade microneedling product on the market that is FDA-approved.
Microneedling + PRP Injections
Supercharge your microneedling results with platelet-rich plasma (PRP). In this process, a small amount of blood is drawn, and red blood cells are isolated from your plasma (the healing property in our blood) and injected back into the skin. A series of four to six sessions will significantly improve texture.
MicroLaserPeel
A MicroLaserPeel removes a very thin layer of skin to improve fine lines, pigmentation, tone, and texture – restoring a more youthful appearance. Gently revitalizing the entire skin surface, a MicroLaserPeel is performed in the office, and you can return to normal activities quickly.
Broadband Light Treatment
Broadband Light (BBL) is the world’s most powerful IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) device on the market. The light energy delivered by BBL will gently heat the upper layers of your skin. The heat absorbed by the targeted areas will stimulate your skin cells to regenerate. This corrective process will restore your skin to its natural beauty. BBL allows your clinician to treat age spots, small facial veins, acne, and many other skin conditions.
Halo
Halo is the world’s first fractionated laser, combining two types of lasers to deliver significant results with minimal downtime. Halo precisely targets years of skin damage and the visible signs of aging. You will see improvements in overall tone and texture, along with significant removal of discoloration, reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, smaller pores, increased skin reflectivity, and enhanced glow.
CO2 Laser Resurfacing
SmartSkin CO2 Laser delivers customizable laser energy to treat multiple signs of aging without surgery. Although it is not comparable to the effects of a surgical facelift for lifting and tightening the skin, there will be some improvement in skin laxity (face). CO2 Laser will also treat: wrinkles, pigmentation, age spots, blotchy skin, scars, acne scars, and stretch marks.
POST-SURGICAL THERAPY
Ultrasound Therapy
Ultrasound vibrations are transmitted deep into tissues to increase blood circulation and break up stagnant fluid and toxins that can build up post-surgery.
LightStim LED Facial Panel
The LED Pain Facial Panel stimulates the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency that cells use to carry out normal functions. Professional LED panes use a combination of red and infrared light to provide an immediate reduction in redness and inflammation from both surgical and non-surgical procedures.
OTHER SKINCARE SERVICES
Visia Analysis
The all-new 7th Generation Visia Complexion Analysis System looks deep into the skin’s multiple layers to assess pigmentation and discoloration, wrinkles, texture, pores, UV spots, brown spots, red areas, and porphyrins. This advanced technology allows us to establish a baseline of your current skin condition and formulate a customized treatment plan for you.
Laser Hair Removal
Cynosure Elite+ Workstation is built on two clinically proven wavelengths – the 755 nm Alexandrite and the 1064 nm Nd: YAG lasers – allowing treatment of all skin types. The lasers cannot treat white, blonde, red, or gray hair. Treatment time is dependent on the size of the target area. Follow-up treatments are performed at 4- to 8-week intervals.
Scar Therapy
Scar Therapy treatments will help minimize and improve the appearance of the scar. There are various treatment strategies available, and sometimes a combination approach is needed for optimal results. Scar Therapy treatment options are dependent on the type and size of the scar.
