GLYCOLIC PEEL

Here are a few things that a glycolic peel can do:

• Exfoliate: Glycolic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that helps to remove dead skin cells from the surface of your skin. This can help to brighten your complexion, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improve skin texture.

• Improve skin tone: By removing dead skin cells and stimulating cell turnover, a glycolic peel can help to even out your skin tone and reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation or age spots.

• Increase collagen production: Glycolic acid can stimulate collagen production in your skin, which can help to improve skin elasticity and firmness.

• Unclog pores: Glycolic acid can help to remove impurities and excess oil from your pores, which can reduce the occurrence of acne breakouts.

• Enhance product absorption: By removing dead skin cells, a glycolic peel can help to improve the absorption of other skincare products, allowing them to penetrate deeper into your skin and provide better results.

It’s important to follow any aftercare instructions provided by your skincare professional, which may include avoiding direct sunlight, wearing sunscreen, and using gentle skincare products for a period of time after the treatment. By following these instructions, you can help to ensure proper healing and minimize the risk of any complications.

GLYCOLIC PEEL DownTime:  some redness and mild flaking or peeling of the skin for a few days

GLYCOLIC PEEL Lasting Results: 6 – 8 Weeks

TRICHLOROACETIC ACID PEEL (TCA PEEL)

Here are a few things that a trichloroacetic acid peel can do:

• Exfoliate: TCA is a type of acid that can penetrate deeper into the skin than glycolic acid. This allows it to remove more layers of dead skin cells, resulting in a deeper exfoliation of the skin. This can help to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and promote cell turnover.

• Improve skin tone: A TCA peel can help to even out your skin tone and reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and age spots.

• Reduce acne scars: TCA peels can help to reduce the appearance of acne scars by stimulating collagen production and promoting new skin cell growth.

• Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles: By promoting collagen production and stimulating cell turnover, a TCA peel can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving your skin a smoother, more youthful appearance.

• Improve skin firmness: TCA peels can help to improve skin elasticity and firmness by stimulating collagen production and promoting new skin cell growth.

After a TCA Peel, it’s important to follow any aftercare instructions provided by your skincare professional. This may include avoiding direct sunlight, applying a special ointment to your skin, and avoiding certain skincare products for a period of time. It’s crucial to be gentle with your skin during this time and avoid picking or scratching at any peeling or scabbing skin.

TCA PEEL DownTime: 1 – 2 WEEKS – significant peeling and potential scabbing

TCA PEEL Lasting Results: several months to a year

DERMAPLANING

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive skin treatment that involves using a small scalpel to gently scrape off dead skin cells and fine facial hair (also known as “peach fuzz”). This process helps to exfoliate the skin, leaving it smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking.

Dermaplaning is generally safe for most skin types and can be performed on its own or in combination with other skincare treatments, such as chemical peels or facials.

DERMAPLANING DownTime: 1 – 2 DAYS – Possible Redness and Sensitivity at the treated area

DERMAPLANING Lasting Results: 3 – 6 Weeks

MICRONEEDLING

Microneedling is a skin treatment that uses a small, handheld device to create tiny punctures or “micro-injuries” in the skin’s surface. This process triggers the body’s natural healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, two proteins that are essential for healthy, youthful-looking skin.

As the skin heals from the microneedling treatment, it undergoes a process of regeneration, producing new skin cells and increasing blood flow to the treated area. This can result in a number of benefits for the skin, including:

• Improved texture and tone: Microneedling can help to smooth out rough or uneven skin texture, as well as improve the overall tone and radiance of the skin.

• Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles: By stimulating collagen and elastin production, microneedling can help to plump up the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

• Reduced hyperpigmentation and scarring: Microneedling can also help to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation or sun damage, as well as acne scars or other types of scarring.

• Improved absorption of skincare products: By creating tiny channels in the skin, microneedling can also help to improve the absorption of topical skincare products, allowing them to penetrate more deeply and effectively.

MICRONEEDLING DownTime: Little (Redness to treated area), usually subsides within a few hours to a few days.

MICRONEEDLING Lasting Results: 4- 6 Weeks

MICRONEEDLING WITH EXOSOMES

Microneedling with exosomes is a non-invasive procedure that involves using fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin’s surface, stimulating the body’s natural healing response. Exosomes, tiny vesicles derived from stem cells, are applied to the skin during the treatment to enhance healing and promote cellular regeneration. Exosomes are rich in growth factors, proteins, and RNA that help to accelerate the repair process, reduce inflammation, and support collagen production.

• Collagen and Elastin Production: The microneedles stimulate your skin to produce new collagen and elastin, which are vital for skin elasticity and firmness.

• Improved Skin Texture and Tone: This treatment helps to refine skin texture, reduce pore size, and enhance the overall tone of your skin.

• Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Microneedling with exosomes is highly effective in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving the skin a smoother, more youthful appearance.

• Scar Reduction: It is particularly beneficial for acne scars and other types of scarring, as it promotes faster healing and skin regeneration.

• Faster Healing with Exosomes: Exosomes accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and enhance the effects of microneedling, giving you smoother, healthier skin more quickly.

MICRONEEDLING DownTime: After the treatment, the skin may appear slightly red or flushed, similar to a mild sunburn, which typically subsides within 24 hours.

MICRONEEDLING with Exosomes Lasting Results: 6 to 12 months. For optimal results, we recommend follow-up treatments every 4 to 6 weeks to maintain a youthful glow and continue improving skin texture.
