Microdermabrasion Facial

Microdermabrasion treatments exfoliate the top layer of your skin, removing unwanted dead cells and debris. The best results come from using a powerful, specialized, medical office-strength microdermabrasion machine like ours. The back and forth motion of the professional grade microdermabrasion tip removes dry, dead skin cells, lifting them off the stratum corneum. Clogged pore plugs are lifted from the pore openings as well. This dull and lusterless material is then vacuumed off of your skin, leaving you with a fresh, clean, bright and new complexion!

Medical grade microdermabrasion treatments also involve a powerful skin vacuuming and suctioning process which increases microcirculation in the skin. With regular treatments, the simultaneous motions of micro-abrasion and micro-circulatory stimulation can aid in rebuilding collagen in the skin.

Even therapeutic treatments should be enjoyable, so in our treatment room, we wrap your freshly treated skin in a soft warm aromatherapy towel, to sooth and hydrate your fresh, radiant, newly exposed skin layers. The result is skin that instantly feels and looks buffed to a bright and luminous glow. Your products and makeup go on smoothly and your skin looks great.

Adding a microdermabrasion treatment to a calming facial increases results and makes your treatment an extended sensual pleasure as well. Pretreating your skin with microdermabrasion allows us to more easily complete your extractions. The finishing facial and mask then calm and soothe the skin. You can’t help but leave feeling great with all the massage, pampering, and professional skincare products soaking into the deeper layers of your skin.

Mandelic Acid Peel

For those who are trying to fade the effects of dark spots on face, uneven skin tone, repair sun damage, and trying to treat the inflammation that occurs with acne; chemical peels that use alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), such as a mandelic acid peel, can be quite effective. Mandelic acid, like glycolic and lactic acids, is an AHA that gently adheres to the skin in order to peel away dead and dying skin cells so that new cell growth is revealed and so that new skin cells grow faster.

After several treatments, a mandelic acid peel can fade dark spots and reduce the inflammation caused by acne. If you have been considering this type of AHA peel, you should understand how this ingredient may affect your skin, depending on its type and tone. For best results, mandelic acid peels should only be performed by a skin care professional or a dermatologist.

What You Need to Know About a Mandelic Acid Peel

A mandelic acid peel contains the AHA mandelic acid, which is derived and extracted from bitter almonds. However, it differs from glycolic and lactic acids in that its molecules are larger and do not penetrate the skin as deeply. As a result, there is less overall irritation when compared with other AHAs, which is beneficial for those who have sensitive skin that is prone to inflammation. In addition, mandelic acid has an antibacterial effect on the skin, which makes it a viable choice for those with acne-prone skin who want to have a chemical peel but are worried about clogged pores and irritation as a result. A mandelic acid peel is also a possible choice for those who have never had a chemical peel before and want results that are gentle on the skin.

What to Expect During a Mandelic Acid Peel

When you arrive , your face will be thoroughly cleansed, and the skin care professional may add a preparatory primer to your skin before they apply the peel. Depending on the skin care issue and your skin type, the mandelic acid peel will be left on your skin anywhere from five to fifteen minutes before it is removed. You may feel a warming sensation on your skin or you may feel nothing at all, depending on your skin’s sensitivity, but when the skin care professional removes the peel, you may notice that your skin looks pinker than usual. This is a normal reaction, as the mandelic acid peel has removed dead and dying skin cells from the surface of your skin that soap, water, and other cleansers cannot.

If you got a mandelic acid peel for acne, your acne symptoms may temporarily increase for a few days before the inflammation begins to subside and the skin heals. This usually happens because the exfoliating properties of the peel exposes acne that’s brewing underneath a layer of dead cells, which may briefly erupt before the antibacterial effects of the peel take effect. If you have concerns about any of the side effects you may experience after your mandelic acid peel, consult your dermatologist or the skin care professional who performed the peel.

Mandelic Acid Peel Side Effects

While there is little to no down time needed for a mandelic acid peel, you may notice mild stinging, itching, peeling, and flaking of the skin, particularly if you suffer from inflamed acne. However, these side effects are mild and only last two to three days. Not everyone will experience these mandelic acid peel side effects and their severity may be increased in those with sensitive skin.

Glycolic Acid Peels facial

If you are looking to uncover the smooth and younger skin beneath what you have now, you might be considering a glycolic acid peel. The benefits are immense but it’s important to understand what they are and what they can (and can’t) do for your skin.

What is a peel?

A peel is a product that’s put on your face and, as the name implies, is peeled off. These can be done at home with an over the counter product, but the most effective peels are those that are performed in the office of a dermatologist or aesthetician.

A chemical peel uses some kind of chemical solution (there are a variety of peels you can get) to improve the skin. They smooth skin by removing the outer layers, which hold onto damage and are often rough and dry. Many people can benefit from a peel, but those with pimples or acne, uneven skin coloring and winkles are most likely to seek peels the most. These people will also derive the most benefit.

What is a glycolic acid peel?

Glycolic acid peels are simply a chemical peel that features glycolic acid as the main component.

Glycolic acid is currently a popular treatment for winkles and acne. Part of the alpha hydroxyl family of natural ingredients, glycolic acid is derived from sugar cane and is a fruit acid. When applied to the skin, it helps to remove the “glue” that holds the older, rougher and dryer skin on the surface. When it removes that top layer of skin, the fresh, new layer is visible. It’s this layer that’s without damage and which looks fresher.

People who have glycolic acid peels are often amazed with the results – they look younger, with fewer fine lines and wrinkles and if they have acne, they often notice their skin is quite a bit less oily and is much clearer.

How does a glycolic acid peel work?

You might decide to have a peel done when you have cosmetic surgery performed, but it’s not necessary to combine the two. A chemical peel can be performed without having any other cosmetic surgery performed, and while it can produce impressive results, a glycolic acid (or other) peel isn’t designed to take the place of a face lift or other cosmetic surgery.

When you decide to have a glycolic acid peel, you will visit with a plastic surgeon, aesthetician or other skin expert. If you decide on a glycolic acid peel, you are choosing to have a fairly light peel done that will usually result in few, if any, side effects.

A light layer of the peel is applied to your face and left for a period of time that will depend on the particular peel you are having, the reasons for having it and the person who is performing the peel.

The peel is removed and you are free to leave the office. With a light peel like a glycolic acid peel, there is no real recovery time and no pain relievers are necessary. If you do feel any discomfort during the procedure (which would likely only be slightly irritation to the skin) you might be given a Tylenol or Motrin.

Side effects

There are few if any side effects to having a glycolic acid peel. Right after the procedure you might feel some burning, but it often goes away quickly. You might have some redness, but again, this usually goes away fairly quickly. If you have sensitive or very fair skin you are more likely to encounter these discomforts.

Glycolic acid can make your skin more sensitive to the sun, so you should wear a good sun block after having a glycolic acid peel.

Future treatments

Often one glycolic acid peel isn’t enough. You will usually be given a series of treatments over a prescribed period of time.

Needle free mesotherapy facial

What is needle-free mesotherapy .

Mesotherapy is treatment designed to stimulate the mesoderm or middle layer of the skin. Developed in France in the 1950’s, naturopathic solutions are injected into the mesoderm to stimulate skin rejuvenation. With technology, we can infuse these natural solutions into the mesoderm without the needles.

Infusion Electro-mesotherapy is the pain-free, needle-free alternative to traditional mesotherapy and provides safe and effective non-invasive trans-dermal delivery of therapeutic solutions. Unlike a serum that nourishes the outer layers of your skin; the mesotherapy infusion goes deeper and nourishes your skin not only from the outside but also from the inside by opening up a microscopic channel in your skin to achieve the penetration needed to get beneath the outer layers. The natural solutions contain vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants that rejuvenate, promote collagen and elastin production, improve hydration and increase skin metabolism. By directly nourishing the cells with vital nutrients, individual’s look more youthful and the solutions stimulate the immune system facilitating rejuvenation that continues post treatment as part of the body’s natural response.

Excellent for:

Anti-aging and wrinkle reduction
Collagen induction and regeneration
Skin hydration, firming and toning
Needle-free trans dermal delivery of injection grade natural solutions
Non-invasive and pain-free with immediate visible results

Will it hurt?

We’re telling it like it is: this is a pain-free safe alternative. No downtime.

You can get the treatment done during your lunch hour and then head back to work. Your skin will be rejuvenated as the solutions contain vitamins, minerals, amino acids and anti-oxidtants that will promote the production of collagen and elastin. Be prepared to receive flattering compliments on your skin’s youthful glowing appearance upon your return to work.

You may feel a prickly sensation during the treatment which will actually feel like your skin is being massaged.

How often should I have the treatment?

Although you will definitely see visible results after your first treatment, the effects of mesotherapy infusion are cumulative and a series of 4-6 treatments spaced two weeks apart is recommended to start with maintenance treatments every 6-8 weeks.
