Skin resurfacing is the removal of superficial upper layers of the skin without causing wounding. Chemical peel solutions containing lactic acid, low concentrations of TCA, retinoic acids, salicylic acid, and glycolics combinations are good choices for gentle exfoliation.  Microdermabrasion uses fine abrasive crystals and a vacuum suction to polish the skin.  Epidermal layering involves careful scraping with a fine scalpel.  Results continue to improve with repeated treatments.  Sun protection is paramount to maintain results.

Innovative Clinical Peels

Unlike a glycolic peel, these peels are not neutralized, washed off with water or timed. They are applied in multiple layers based upon the needs of the patient.  The number of layers is determined by: skin type and thickness; advanced preparation of the skin and hereditary background.

Jessner Peel: This treatment is designed for melasma, photodamage, pigment discoloration, acne, smoker’s skin and extreme sun damaged skin.  We use a standard Jessner’s formula that is enhanced by incorporating lightening agents* into the peel solution.  Great for obtaining even skin tone!

*This peel is available with or without skin lightening agents to allow for maximum flexibility.

Ultra Peel I: This treatment is designed for all skin types, conditions and sensitivities. It will effectively treat acne, pigment disorders, aging skin, smoker’s skin and photodamaged skin thru a combination of lactic acid, TCA and vitamin C. These treatments are ideal for sensitive skin types, as they produce a minimal stinging sensation!

Sensi Peel: The treatment is designed for all skin types, conditions and sensitivities. This treatment is ideal for supersensitive skin types, as it produces little to no stinging sensation.  It will effectively treat acne, pigment disorders, aging skin, smoker’s skin and photodamaged skin thru a combination of a smaller percentage of lactic acid, TCA and vitamin C.   These treatments are great for patients that want gradual lightening, but instant tightening.

Esthetique Peel: It is designed for all skin types.  Treatments are appropriate for any individual in need of facial rejuvenation thru a combination of lactic acid, retinol, vitamin C & E with folic acid. These ingredients make this a great treatment for improving skin texture and clarity, while keeping the skin moist and hydrated.  This is an excellent anti-aging and maintenance treatment.

Clarifying Mask:  This treatment is designed for all skin types with dull, impacted, or breakout-prone skin.  Thru the use of a combination of salicylic acid, witch hazel and titanium dioxide, this peel clears the follicles of excess cell debris leaving skin smooth and glowing.

Ultra Peel II: Added to any peel for increased exfoliation and hydration.

**Peels can be clinically tailored into a customized program to suit your individual needs.

Microdermabrasion

This treatment is designed for those interested in reducing fine lines, larger pores, skin pigmentation problems, or acne scarring.  Microdermabrasion gently removes the surface layers of the skin, which increases cell turnover and stimulates oxygenation, leaving a glowing, clearer complexion.

Jet Peel

This unique procedure works simultaneously on five different levels.  Deep cleanses, exfoliates, hydrates, oxygenates and micro-circulates.  Each Jet Peel treatment will gently “pressure wash” your skin, delivered at supersonic speed.  This gentle cleansing unclogs pores and removes any debris that has naturally built up in the skin over the years, and also infuses oxygen into the deep dermis, helping your body to produce new collagen for effective skin rejuvenation results.

Epidermal Leveling

This “cutting edge” technique offers exfoliation similar to microdermabrasion using a safe, specialized blade.  Leveling effectively removes a layer of dead skin cells while at the same time removes fine facial hair without the harsh effects of waxing and improves superficial skin discolorations.  Experience a whole new meaning to smooth skin!

*Our skin care specialist can combine any of the above with a corrective peel to achieve optimal results.
