HydraFacial

HydraFacial is a patented, noninvasive skin treatment that uses a three-step 'hydradermabrasion' process. This procedure, suitable for all skin types, deeply cleanses, extracts, and hydrates the skin, addressing various skin concerns such as acne, blackheads, rosacea, dryness, and wrinkles.

How It Works

  • Detoxification: The treatment begins with lymphatic drainage, preparing the skin for the HydraFacial.

  • Deep Cleansing and Exfoliation: The skin is deeply cleansed and exfoliated, removing impurities.

  • Extraction and Hydration: A special vacuum suction extracts blackheads and other impurities from the pores. The skin is then intensely hydrated.

  • Boosters: Specific skin concerns can be addressed using different boosters:

    • CTGF Booster: Improves the appearance of skin tone, texture, and elasticity.

    • Britenol Booster: Targets the appearance of dark spots.

    • Dermabuilder Booster: Minimizes signs of aging and recharges skin with a patented combination of peptides.

  • LED Light Therapy: The treatment concludes with LED Light Therapy. Blue LED Light Therapy targets acne-causing bacteria, while infrared LED Light Therapy stimulates cellular turnover and promotes healing.

Benefits

  • Versatile: Suitable for all skin types and addresses multiple skin concerns.

  • Immediate Results: Provides immediate results with visible skin refinement and an even, radiant skin tone after just one session.

  • No Downtime or Discomfort: As a noninvasive procedure, there's no discomfort during the process and no recovery time needed afterwards.

  • Customizable: Tailorable to specific skin needs and goals with the help of boosters.

  • Consistent Results: Regular treatments help maintain skin health and keep it looking its best.

  • Enhanced Skin Absorption: Enhances the absorption of skincare products post-treatment, making them more effective.

  • Deep Cleansing: Offers a deeper cleanse than traditional facials, removing dead skin cells and extracting impurities.

  • Hydration: Infuses the skin with hydrating and moisturizing serums, leaving it smooth and plump.

HydraFacial not only improves the look and feel of your skin but also enhances its health in the long run. Its multiple benefits make it an excellent choice for maintaining a radiant and holiday-ready glow.

Chemical Peels

A chemical peel is a skin-resurfacing procedure involving the application of a chemical solution to your face, neck, or hands. This process, also known as chemexfoliation or derma peeling, leads to controlled damage to your skin’s layers. When peeled off, it reveals a more youthful, smoother, less wrinkled, and evenly toned skin.

How It Works

Chemical peels work by causing controlled damage to the layers of the skin, which then peel off to reveal fresh, youthful skin underneath. The depth of the peel depends on the specific concerns and treatment objectives, which are determined in consultation with your dermatologist.

While they can improve skin imperfections, chemical peels may not be effective against sagging, bulges, and deep scars or wrinkles. For these conditions, other cosmetic surgical procedures may be more suitable.

Types of Peels

  • Glycolic Acid Peel: This peel uses 70% glycolic acid to decrease the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scarring. It evens skin tone, and skin appears noticeably firmer and brighter.
  • SkinMedica Illuminize Peel: The SkinMedica Illuminize Peel targets sun-damaged skin, fine lines, and uneven skin tones. It tightens the skin with minimal peeling and is suitable for all skin types. It's perfect for first-time chemical-peel patients or in preparation for a special event. A series of 3 to 6 treatments is recommended.
  • SkinMedica Vitalize Peel: The Vitalize Peel is a unique formulation of mild acids that provide a safe peel with minimal downtime. This non-invasive, medical-grade peel creates a softer, more radiant, youthful complexion. It's recommended for the reduction of fine lines, enlarged pores, and superficial pigmentation from sun damage. A series of 3 to 6 treatments is recommended.
  • SkinMedica Rejuvenize Peel: The Rejuvenize Peel is a professional-grade, deep-action chemical peel. It effectively treats sun damage, melasma, acne scarring, and fine lines in as little as one application. Typically 5 to 7 days of downtime (or peeling) is expected for this peel. 3 to 6 treatments are recommended.
  • PCA Chemical Peels: PURE Medispa offers the PCA Peel with Hydroquinone and Resorcinol, Ultra Peel, and Sensi Peel. All peels come with Post Procedure Kits.
  • Jan Marini Peel: Jan Marini Peel is another option for those looking for effective chemical peels.

Chemical peels address various skin concerns and reveal a smoother, brighter complexion for your holiday glow.

Benefits

Chemical peels offer numerous advantages:

  • Improvement of Fine Lines and Wrinkles: They can reduce the appearance of fine lines under your eyes or around your mouth and wrinkling caused by sun damage, aging, and hereditary factors.

  • Acne Control: Chemical peels can help control certain types of acne by removing excess sebum, dead skin cells, and dirt.

  • Scar Reduction: These treatments can improve the appearance of mild scarring.

  • Skin Coloring: They can address sun spots, age spots, liver spots, freckles, and uneven skin coloring.

  • Actinic Keratosis: Chemical peels can remove precancerous scaly spots called actinic keratosis.

  • Texture Improvement: They can smooth out the skin’s texture and brighten dull complexions.

  • Melasma Treatment: They can lighten dark patches (melasma) due to pregnancy or taking birth control pills.

  • Skincare Enhancement: They can enhance the effectiveness of other skincare products by allowing better penetration.

  • Instant Wow Factor: Chemical peels can create an immediate impact in terms of brightening and firming skin.

  • Customized Solutions: They can treat different skin types and conditions with customized solutions.

  • Confidence Boost: By improving your appearance, chemical peels can boost your confidence and self-esteem.

However, sags, bulges, deep scars, deep facial lines, and severe wrinkles may not respond well to chemical peels. For these concerns, other cosmetic surgical procedures, such as carbon dioxide laser resurfacing, a facelift, brow lift, eye lift or soft tissue filler might be better options.

Microneedling

Microneedling, or collagen induction therapy (CIT), is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure designed to stimulate new collagen production in the skin. The procedure uses tiny, sterilized needles to create micro-punctures in the skin, triggering the body's natural healing process. Microneedling can treat minor skin problems, including acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, stretch marks, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage.

How It Works

Microneedling works by utilizing instruments that contain rows of thin needles. These needles penetrate the dermis, or the second layer of the skin, to a uniform depth. This action causes minor injuries to the skin, which prompts the body to produce more collagen to heal these wounds.

The procedure causes short-term swelling, redness, and skin sensitivity but generally has fewer adverse effects than other therapies. It is considered a viable resurfacing option for skin, offering an efficacious treatment with minimal downtime.

Benefits

Microneedling offers several benefits, including:

  • Encourages collagen production, which helps smooth, firm, and tone the skin.

  • Reduces the appearance of scars, including acne scars.

  • Minimizes fine lines and wrinkles.

  • Improves the appearance of enlarged pores.

  • Helps fade hyperpigmentation and sun damage.

  • Can be applied from head to toe to help rejuvenate the skin.

HydraFacial is another aesthetic procedure that can complement microneedling to give your skin a holiday glow. Combining the collagen-stimulating benefits of microneedling with the deep cleansing and hydrating effects of a HydraFacial, you can achieve radiant, glowing skin just in time for the holidays.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive treatment that gently exfoliates your skin. It's a minimally invasive epidermal resurfacing procedure used to treat uneven skin tone/texture, photoaging, and striae.

How It Works

Microdermabrasion treatments use a minimally abrasive instrument to gently sand your skin, removing the thicker, uneven outer layer. The procedure is used to renew overall skin tone and texture and can help improve the appearance of skin affected by sun damage.

Benefits

Microdermabrasion offers several benefits:

  • It involves a skincare specialist removing the top layer of skin with a small hand-held device.

  • It evens out skin tones and fades acne scars.

  • It removes the uppermost layer of skin from your face or body.

  • It uses tiny exfoliating crystals sprayed on the skin, working best on problems such as dull skin, brown spots, and age spots.

  • It is a very popular, machine-assisted skin-exfoliating treatment that has the advantages of low risk and rapid recovery

While it may take several sessions to achieve the desired results, microdermabrasion is a gentle and effective way to reveal smoother, brighter skin for your holiday celebrations.

Waxing

Waxing is a popular hair removal method involving a warm wax substance to the skin. The wax adheres to the hair, and when it cools and hardens, it's quickly pulled off, removing the hair. This method removes the hair from the root which allows for a longer period of smooth, hair-free skin.

How It Works

The waxing process begins with cleaning the area to be waxed. A thin layer of wax is then applied to the skin in the direction of hair growth. The hair becomes embedded in the wax, which cools and quickly becomes firm. The wax is then pulled off in the opposite direction of hair growth, pulling the hairs out of the follicles. New hair will not grow in the previously waxed area for four to six weeks.

Benefits

Waxing offers several benefits:

  • It can exfoliate the skin.

  • It is fast and efficient.

  • It is convenient.

  • It causes less irritation than other methods.

  • It is long-lasting.

  • It can result in less hair over the long term.

  • It can change the texture of the hair when it grows back.

  • It can prevent ingrown hairs.

  • It can save you time and money.

  • It can make your skin feel smoother.

The holiday season is the perfect time to try waxing for silky smooth skin that lasts throughout all your celebrations.
