Facials are treatments that are popular to nourish, exfoliate, and clean the skin. Facials performed on a regular basis continue to aid with the overall health of your skin. Each patient’s facial is customized to offer the best benefits for their skin. Facial treatments utilize steam, an exfoliant, massage, toner, and moisturizer to deeply cleanse the face.

Add-on services for facials include:

• Acne Extractions: This involves the use of a sterile tool to remove trapped material within a pimple, whitehead, or blackhead.
• Dermaplaning: This involves exfoliating the skin along with removing facial hair. Dermaplaning uses a very thin, sharp blade to scrape away dead skin and any blemishes from the surface.

Laser skin resurfacing, sometimes called laser peeling, is a popular dermatological treatment to reduce the signs of aging and improve scars or natural blemishes. Early laser therapies were known for being uncomfortable, and carried a risk of scarring, particularly for dark-skinned individuals. The advanced utilizes fractional laser technology, providing excellent results with less discomfort, faster recovery, and a dramatically reduced risk of scarring.

Microneedling is a minimally invasive, low downtime, and cost-effective way to treat scars, wrinkles, and pigmentation. This medical procedure has been shown to stimulate the formation of new collagen and elastin, resulting in more youthful skin. A series of three-six treatments, two-four weeks apart has been shown clinically to produce significant improvement immediately with continued improvement for many months post-treatment.

PRP injections are a method of rejuvenating the skin using growth factors found in the blood. This technique has long been used to accelerate recovery from injuries, but it also offers many cosmetic benefits. When injected into the skin, PRP addresses many signs of aging and skin damage by rejuvenating the skin. Once injected, it stimulates the production of collagen and restores damaged cells. As a result, patients enjoy a natural boost in volume and a reduction in some of the most prominent signs of aging and skin damage. Since PRP is derived from blood drawn from the patient, there is minimal risk of side effects, rejection, and complications.

The Exilis Elite™ is an entirely non-invasive cosmetic procedure that can tighten and tone skin on the face, neck, and body. This FDA-approved treatment is particularly excellent for addressing excess skin and fat in hard-to-reach areas. During an Exilis Elite™ procedure, radiofrequency energy is delivered through a handheld device and passed over the treatment area. Depending on the intensity of the treatment being performed, this energy penetrates to different layers of the skin. If this radiofrequency energy is absorbed by fibroblasts deep within the skin, they slowly begin to unravel, triggering the creation of additional collagen. This radiofrequency energy can also be absorbed by fat cells within the skin as heat, breaking them down entirely. Over time, these destroyed fat cells are gradually removed from the body, leaving behind a leaner, slimmer appearance.

Laser tattoo removal works by producing short pulses of light. When used appropriately, the light will pass through the top layers of the skin safely until it reaches the tattoo ink. The light energy is then absorbed by the tattoo pigment, causing the tattoo ink to break into smaller particles. These smaller particles can then be removed by the body’s immune system.

Ultherapy® uses ultrasound and the body’s own natural healing process to lift, tone, and tighten loose skin. The FDA-cleared device used in the procedure utilizes the safe, time-tested energy of ultrasound to stimulate the deep structural support layers of the skin—including those typically addressed in a surgical facelift—without disturbing the surface of the skin. Unlike lasers, which penetrate the skin from the outside-in, Ultherapy bypasses the surface of the skin, specifically targeting the deep, structural skin tissues where collagen lives.
