INTRODUCTION TO SKIN CARE

Both men and women share a common desire to have healthy, youthful skin. Chemical peels, microdermabrasion and medical European Facials are commonly performed to treat sun damaged skin, age spots, uneven pigmentation, asphyxiated skin (dry on the surface, oily underneath), and oily or dry skin. These treatments will repair and reduce breakouts, clear acne and correct post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (skin discoloration) from acne. They also help to reduce the depth of surface lines and smooth rough textured skin revealing new healthy cells. The result is smooth, radiant, glowing skin. Most treatments are not limited to the face and can be performed on the neck, chest, hands, arms and legs – just about anywhere! Chemical peels and Microdermabrasion are now the second most popular non-surgical cosmetic procedure performed in the United States.

A thorough skin analysis and consultation is required prior to booking any chemical treatment. Contraindications will be discussed and a treatment protocol will be designed to suite your specific skin type. A professionally formulated home care regimen will be recommended for treatment preparation. This is to help you build up a tolerance for better penetration of active ingredients during the in-office treatments. These treatments are most successful when they are done in a series. After each treatment you should see an incremental improvement in the overall appearance of the skin. Subsequent treatments every 4-12 weeks will help to maintain the achieved results.

Remember that all of our skin care procedures will only enhance the results of facial surgery, such as facelift, eyelid or brow lift. In addition, while we are pampering your skin, you can simultaneously indulge in a BOTOX Cosmetic™ treatment and/or Radiesse or Restylane fillers. Combining these modalities will result in a beautiful and natural rejuvenation of your face.
