Your skin is the largest organ in your body, and maintaining its health is just as important as taking care of the rest of yourself.  Skin works hard to protect you from the sun, heat and cold.  Over time, the environment’s harmful effects will begin to show on the outer layer of skin the world sees.  Your skin does so much to protect you, why don’t you do the same for your skin.

Photorejuvenation is a safe, effective, and non-invasive method to improve sun-damaged skin and other facial concerns without any “down time” or interference with your active lifestyle.   IPL™ treatments can improve the appearance of sun damage, age spots, brown spots, birth marks, facial spider viens, rosacea, red spots and other blemishes of the face, neck, chest, and hands.  Best of all, treatments can be tailored to an individual’s specific condition and skin type. Our state of the art Lumenis One (IPL™) system is the pioneer and gold standard in Intense Pulsed Light therapy.

Lumenis invented IPL™ and the Lumenis One is a true fourth generation Intense Pulsed Light system with patented state of the art technology which optimizes power pulsing and light delivery to provide maximum results, comfort and safety.  Our practice believes in providing only the very best treatments for our patients and has made the investment in the Lumenis One.

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL™) technology sends a broad spectrum of therapeutic light into the skin which can simultaneously treat multiple skin conditions.  Once the light reaches its target, it is then transformed to heat energy.  The light is absorbed either superficially by broken capillaries and dark pigment or deeper by larger vessels and collagen.  Dilated capillaries coagulate, pigmented lesions darken and then slough off and new collagen fibers are laid down, giving the skin a renewed and more youthful appearance.

The advantages of IPL™ Photorejuvenation are several.  There is no prolonged recovery time and the treatments take about 30-40 minutes.  There is no need for anesthesia of any sort and there is no associated downtime.  Patients report that the treatment feels like a rubber band snap.  The level of discomfort during treatment ranges from mild to moderate and does not last long.  A slight burning sensation may last for up to one hour after treatment.  You may experience pinkness of the treated area for a few hours immediately after the treatment, but makeup can be applied and normal activity can be resumed immediately.  Pigmented spots being treated may also darken slightly for several days before fading.

For maximum results, a series of four to six treatments may be recommended, depending on the number of conditions you are treating and the severity of the individual problem.

These treatments are separated by three to five weeks.  By dividing the full program into several treatments, the procedure provides gradual improvement with very low risk.  After your initial series of treatments your improved skin should be maintained with continued skin care, effective home program and a single Photorejuvenation treatment every three to six months.

They say true beauty comes from within.  Actually, it’s just below the surface. If you could remove that outermost layer of dry, dead skin cells, you would see that just below the surface lies a fresher, younger-looking face.  That’s exactly what our medical grade, PowerPeel™ Microdermabrasion treatments can do for you.  This gentle, precise exfoliation to the surface of your skin over a course of six weekly treatments helps whisk away years of dull build-up, revealing a more beautiful you.

Microdermabrasion treatments are the leading non-surgical, no down-time method to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, age spots, superficial scars, acne scars, and uneven skin tone and texture.  The entire process takes about 30 minutes.  Your skin will first be cleansed with a gentle cleanser and then exfoliated with aluminum dioxide crystals.  The treatment itself feels like a delicate, exfoliating scrub brushed over the surface of your skin.  Following the treatment your skin will be treated to an aloe ampoule and a calming mask to help hydrate the skin.  Once the treatment is over you can immediately return to your daily activity.
  

The PowerPeel™ Microdermabrasion can be an important component of any skin care regimen.  To achieve the maximum results, we recommend incorporating the microdermabrasion treatments with an on going skin care program such as our OBAGI skin care products.  The best way to learn if microdermabrasion can be a useful part of your skin care regimen is to schedule a consultation with one of our Medical Esthetician’s.

An in-depth facial customized to hydrate and gently cleanse your skin, starting with an enzyme to dissolve dead skin cells for a healthy and glowing complexion.  A personalized repair ampoule is applied, followed by an anti-stress massage.  This popular treatment will improve circulation, reduce clogging and nourish your skin.

A consultation with our Medical Esthetician will help determine which peel is best for you depending upon the severity of wrinkles, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, acne or age spots.  Our menu of peels include Lactic Acid, Jessner, Glycolic or the more aggressive OBAGI Blue Peel (Trichloroacetic Acid).

This is a safe, easy and effective treatment used to eliminate cherry spots and skin tags on the face and body.
