The Facial 

This multi-dimensional approach is fully customized to address all of your concerns. Consisting of a specially selected mix of clinically tested cosmeceutical skincare, ultrasonic deep cleansing, enzymatic and/or chemical exfoliation, dermaplaning, medical microneedling, crystal free microdermabrasion, extractions, LED photo modulation, plasma energy, ultrasound, micro-current lifting, enhanced penetration of vitamin infusions using ionzyme technology, therapeutic masks, and pure medical oxygen therapyPlease allow 75 to 90 minutes for your treatment. 

The Chemical Peels

A thorough selection of chemical peels are offered from Skin Medica, Neostrata, and Environ. These are excellent for stubborn pigmentation or melasma, acne, rough skin texture, and fine lines. Not all peels require 'downtime' and are an excellent way to get your skin in shape fast. We can also include chest and hands. Most of these peels are self neutralizing and left on the skin for the remainder of the day until cleansing that evening, however you'll look fine to immediately return to work. Please allow 30 minutes for chemical peel procedures.

The Lasers

The LaseMD™ treatment uses a gentle laser that refreshes your skin from the inside out. The laser energy creates millions of microscopic treatment zones in your skin, replacing damaged skin with healthy, younger-looking tissue. As with Fraxel, the technology involved is a non-ablative fractional laser, but LaseMD™ penetrates the skin at a shallower depth. This laser will reduce pore size and fine lines; improve texture, tone, and elasticity. Please allow 60 minutes, which will include topical lidocaine numbing.

The Lights

A session of Omnilux LED is a completely natural method of light-only skin rejuvenation which stimulates the body’s own natural processes to counteract the effects of aging by stimulating cells responsible for tissue repair. Requiring no downtime, the Omnilux provides a lifting and hydrating effect, an improvement in skin tone and texture, a balancing of pigmentation, a smoothing of fine lines and wrinkles and a feeling of well being and relaxation. A series of a few weekly LED sessions are also excellent for managing rosacea or acne. While this treatment is included with every facial, it is also available on its own. This half hour treatment includes a cleansing, a 20 min LED session, and finishing products. 

The Express

Thirty minute express sessions are ideal if you like to get dermaplaned regularly, are doing a series of microneedling, or just need a deep pore cleaning with extractions. An express facial is also perfect for younger teens and tweens. 

 

Skin condition is affected by hormonal, environmental and emotional factors. I believe that skin needs to be treated accordingly, therefore each treatment and session is always customized and personalized. In-depth skin analysis, state of the art cosmeceutical products, advanced machines and techniques ensure a complete bespoke facial experience that is tailored to your skin’s individual conditions and needs.

TREATMENTS EXPLAINEd

  • Plason is a new technology that uses non-invasive plasma energy for treating multiple skin concerns. The treatment is painless— it can be done during your facial but gives the fastest results when done in a weekly series of a few sessions. This a great option for clearing up acne while waiting for medications to take effect. Read about in detail here.

  • The Ionzyme DF machine™ is at the very forefront of scientific skin care. The machine is the first of its kind to introduce the use of Pulsed Iontophoresis – the use of a specifically pulsed electrical current to facilitate penetration of vitamins into the cells, and Low Frequency Sonophoresis – the use of sound waves to transport vitamin molecules through the skin. The Ionzyme DF Machine has been specifically designed for Environ skin care treatments, and it is considered the most effective machine in the world today for enhancing the penetration of high doses of vitamins and serums into the skin. The DF Ionzyme Machine is suitable for all skin types, and can be incorporated into your facial treatment or delivered as a targeted, stand alone Active Vitamin Facial Treatment.

 

  • Cool Peels from Environ™ are a revolutionary approach to peeling that achieve incredible results without damaging the skin. Low strength Lactic acid or Trichlorocetic acid is used to reduce the skin’s PH and trigger the release of growth factors, which creates tighter, smoother skin. It destroys bacteria, boosts hydration and removes the build-up of dead skin cells, helping to decongest the surface and smooth its texture. The cool peel is a no-downtime peel incorporated in a facial and ideal for clients with lines and wrinkles, rough or problem skin, sun damage or rosacea.

 

  • Dermaplaning is a safe procedure for exfoliating the epidermis and ridding the skin of fine vellus hair (peach fuzz). Using a disposable scalpel and a delicate touch, the surface of the skin is abraded using light feathering strokes. This is a great treatment for patients who are pregnant or nursing who want a deep exfoliation, or patients who have excess vellus hair on the skin. This hair often causes a buildup of dirt and oils in the follicles, so removing the hair results in healthier looking skin. Removing epidermal skin also allows products to penetrate more readily into the deeper layers. It also may be used to prepare the skin for superficial chemical peels or before a cleansing facial.

 

  • Electrical Muscle Stimulation uses the Pure Lift™ technology with patented high and low frequency waves to stimulate your facial muscles comfortably. This intense yet pain free stimulation energizes and elevates the facial muscles, working them out as you would any other muscle in your body. The result is a smooth, toned, and refreshed looking face.

 

  • LaseMD is a non-ablative fractional laser to counteract the early signs of aging. It works over 4 to 6 sessions to improve texture, even out skin tone, reduce appearance of pores, and illuminate the skin-with no social downtime. This treatment requires about and hour for a complete session and will involve application of topical numbing cream to your face prior to treatment in order to provide additional comfort.

 

  • Chemical Peels from Skin Medica come in three strengths. You can read about them in depth here.

  • Micro-needling with Rejuvapen™ is a highly effective skin therapy procedure that activates cell regeneration and can be used to treat skin conditions such as fine lines, wrinkles, stretch marks, sun spots, and scars from acne or burns. It provides natural collagen reproduction and is similar to fractional laser treatments but without the side effects and downtime. A small, pen-shaped device, RejuvaPen Micro-Needling uses nine disposable micro needles to vertically pierce the skin to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and minimize pores, stretch marks and acne scars with a topical application of growth factors. Although these perforations are invisible to the naked eye, they stimulate the skin's natural repair process and can effectively treat hard-to-reach places around the eyes, nose, and lips. In addition, the needle depth can be easily adjusted during treatment for different areas. RejuvaPen also uses an automatic vibrating feature which helps reduce discomfort. The advantages include shorter treatment times, no pain, and a lower price than similar anti-aging treatments.

 

  • The DiamondTome™ Skin Resurfacing System removes the topmost layer of skin by gently exfoliating the skin with natural diamond chips bonded to the tip of the wand, while vacuuming the exfoliated skin cells away in a controlled manner. Removing this outer layer helps clean out pores, leaves skin a smoother texture and promotes the growth of healthy new skin. Unlike other exfoliation treatments, the DiamondTome™ Skin Resurfacing System uses no loose abrasives or crystals to contaminate you or the environment. Skin Resurfacing also stimulates the vascular circulation to the surface of the skin resulting in a healthier and firmer appearance. The DiamondTome™ Skin Resurfacing treatment is non-invasive, pain-free and requires no down time.

 

  • Omnilux™ LED Phototherapy uses a combination of different lights to stimulate the cells that help counteract the effects of aging. Light enhances not only DNA synthesis, but also augments cellular tissue regeneration including collagen deposition. Light at specific wavelengths is known to stimulate tissue and influence restructuring of collagen to firm skin tissue and minimize fine wrinkles. As we grow older, the cells that manufacture the skins supportive structures begin to slow down. Environmental damage from the sun speeds up this process and produces free radicals that damage the skin and the cells that synthesize collagen and elastin. Using a combination of different lights delivered at different times we are able to stimulate these cells that help counteract the effects of aging. Omnilux stimulates natural processes to rejuvenate the skin.

 

  • Medical Oxygen is combined with an infusion of essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and amino peptides to saturate the skin for the ultimate hydration and a visible result you can instantly see and feel. Additionally, the application of oxygen increases the absorption of the infusion which helps the skin retain hydration and moisture. Once hydration is balanced your skin will look and feel healthier and more vital – additionally many other common skin complaints will naturally disappear. Oxygen is a natural bactericide (destroys anaerobic bacteria) and helps cool and calm the skin.
