Chemical Peels COMING SOON
Do you wish that you could simply peel signs of aging from your skin?
We use chemical peels to do just this. A chemical peel can diminish many signs of aging on the face as well as the hands, neck, and chest. Chemical peels also treat some skin conditions. We use chemical peels to treat some types of acne and conditions that discolor the skin.
Whether you receive a chemical peel to diminish signs of aging or treat a skin condition, you can see:
Fewer lines and wrinkles
More even skin color
Brighter complexion
Smoother skin
We use chemical peels to treat:
Acne (some types)
Age spots
Discoloration (blotchy complexion, uneven skin tone)
Dull complexion
Fine lines (especially under the eyes and around the mouth)
Freckles
Melasma
Rough-feeling skin
Sun-damage skin
Facials: COMING SOON
Lasers are extremely popular devices used in many cosmetic dermatology practices providing both medical and aesthetic benefits to the skin. There are about 10 lasers that are generally used for skin treatments, and while they all work in a similar way, they have different abilities.
What is Laser?
Lasers have been used for aesthetic purposes for around 40 years. There has not been a new laser technology developed for skincare in about 30 years. So when people talk about ‘new’ ones, they really mean an upgrade of an existing technology.
They work by firing a very narrow beam of light, where all of the light waves generated have a similar wavelength. Target molecules in the skin, known as chromophores, will absorb this light and convert it into heat to generate a desired effect.

What You Need To Know
When looking into laser facials, you’ll likely see various treatments described as either ‘ablative’ or ‘non-ablative’. The basic difference here is that an ablative laser will remove the upper layer of the skin. Non-ablative lasers leave the epidermis intact, bypassing it to directly tackle the dermis beneath. While ablative lasers are usually considered more effective, they traditionally require more recovery or ‘downtime’ after a treatment.
All laser treatments are generally considered uncomfortable: expect anything from a pricking feeling to a sensation like the flick of an elastic band or a small electric shock. Some treatments are likened to the pain of getting a tattoo. However, know that laser treatments are generally fast, so you aren’t ever uncomfortable for very long.

Laser Treatment
Laser skin resurfacing is one of the best ways to address many of the most common skin concerns, including sunspots, age spots, wrinkles, rosacea, redness, acne scars and even acne itself. We have an abundance of effective lasers available to treat these skin concerns, but knowing which one is the right fit for your skin can be confusing. While the correct treatment will ultimately be determined after a consult with your dermatology provider, here’s a look at the top lasers for the face.

Causes wrinkle reduction by 37%
Increase in muscle tone by 30%
Facial lifting effect by 22%
PicoSure Pro is now equipped with two lenses that work to safely and effectively address a variety of concerns across all skin types. The PicoSure Pro device's advanced Platinum Focus™ lens array is used to increase collagen and elastin to help combat wrinkles, acne scars and pores. With the addition of the flat lens, the PicoSure Pro device is now also the first and only picosecond laser FDA-cleared for the treatment of pigment in melasma and other hyperpigmentation issues such as nevus of Ota and Hori's nevus.
Additional enhancements include a sleek, modern design, intuitive graphic user interface and new 5MM handpiece that is ideal for treating discrete lesions, lighter Fitzpatrick skin types and smaller treatment areas.
PicoSure laser
addresses skin concerns like freckles, sun spots, discoloration, and unwanted tattoo ink. The laser improves skin texture such as scarring and wrinkles.
Potenza is a micro needling treatment that offers minimally invasive skin rejuvenation. During your treatment you can expect minimal discomfort and maximum epidermal benefits that comes with its advanced, dual technology.
Each treatment involves one of our highly skilled Aestheticians using a handpiece and going over your desired treatment area in passes. One of the benefits of Potenza is that it can be used on both the delicate facial regions or the body. It is ideal for targeting scars and stretch marks.
The Potenza hand piece is built with dual technologies: both micro needling and radiofrequency. So first, you can expect the ultra-fine needles to gently enter the skin which creates micro-trauma to dramatically stimulate collagen production. Then, radiofrequency energy is emitted from the device to further trigger elastin and the generation of new collagen cells in the dermis. This double approach means collagen is triggered on both a superficial and dense layers of skin.
Typically results can be seen immediately after, but the building of collagen and elastin can be expected to be seen anywhere between 4-6 weeks after treatment, with results lasting up to 18 weeks.
