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 an

d 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, all while infusing antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, and peptides deep into your skin layers.

Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive form of manual exfoliation of the skin that resurfaces sun damaged, dull, 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 lunch-time laser skin treatment is used to improve redness, pore size, small scars and, in darker skin types, uneven color with no downtime. The Laser Facial works by gently heating the skin with laser energy to help restore the skin’s youthful glow.

Micro-Needling

The gold standard in micro-needling, 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. Skin Pen Precision is the only advanced, medical-grade microneedling product on the market approved by the FDA.

Micro-Needling + 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 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 that combines two types of lasers to create major 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 in addition to significant removal of discoloration, reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, reduced pore size, skin reflectivity and 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 of 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 the tissues to increase blood circulation and break up stagnant fluid and toxins that can build up in the tissues post-surgery.

LightStim LED Facial Panel

LED Pain Facial Panel stimulates the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the form of energy that cells use to carry out normal functions. Professional LED panes utilize a combination of red and infrared lights for an immediate reduction in redness and inflammation caused by both surgical and non-surgical procedures.
