Chemical exfoliation involves the use of acids to remove dead skin cells and promote cellular turnover, resulting in smoother, brighter, and more even-toned skin. The three main types of acids used in chemical exfoliation are Poly Hydroxy Acids (PHAs), Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs), and Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs). Here's a brief overview of each type:
- Poly Hydroxy Acids (PHAs): PHAs, such as gluconolactone and lactobionic acid, have larger molecules compared to other acids, which means they penetrate the skin more slowly and are generally considered milder. PHAs are beneficial for individuals with sensitive skin or those who may not tolerate other types of chemical exfoliators well. They provide gentle exfoliation, help moisturize the skin, and have antioxidant properties.
- Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs): BHAs, particularly salicylic acid, are oil-soluble acids that can penetrate into the pores. They are effective in unclogging pores, reducing acne, and controlling sebum production. BHAs are often recommended for individuals with oily or acne-prone skin. They have anti-inflammatory properties and can help improve the appearance and texture of the skin.
- Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs): AHAs are derived from various natural sources and include acids like glycolic acid (from sugar cane), lactic acid (from milk), citric acid (from citrus fruits), and malic acid (from apples). AHAs are water-soluble and work by gently exfoliating the top layer of the skin, promoting cell turnover, and improving the skin's texture, tone, and fine lines. They can also help with hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone.
When choosing a chemical exfoliation and developing a skincare routine, it's important to consider your skin type, concerns, and sensitivity.
For a thorough analysis of your skin and personalized recommendations, we examine your skin, take into account your specific needs, and recommend suitable products and strategies to improve the health of your skin.
Nano infusion, also known as nano needling, is non-invasive and aims to rejuvenate the skin and address various common skin issues. It can help improve skin tone, texture, acne, pigmentation, scarring, and elasticity.
Nano infusion involves the use of a specialized device that creates microchannels in the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin. These microchannels enhance delivery of topical serums or solutions into the skin, promoting better absorption and effectiveness of the active ingredients.
One of the advantages of nano infusion is that it is generally considered safe and painless. Unlike traditional microneedling, which penetrates deeper into the skin and may cause some discomfort, nano infusion only affects the epidermal layer, resulting in minimal discomfort or pain. It also reduces the risk of bleeding, inflammation, and post-treatment hyperpigmentation. Since nano infusion primarily targets the epidermis, the recovery time is typically minimal or nonexistent. There may be some temporary redness or mild sensitivity immediately after the treatment, but these side effects usually subside quickly.
The immediate benefits of a nano needling facial can include improved skin hydration, increased circulation, and a temporary plumping effect. However, for more significant and long-lasting results, a series of treatments is often recommended, along with a corresponding at-home skincare regimen. Consistency and follow-up care are key to achieving optimal outcomes with nano infusion facials.
It's worth noting that while nano infusion can be beneficial for many skin types and tones, individual results may vary. We work with you to help determine if nano infusion is suitable for your specific skin concerns .
A microcurrent facial is a non-invasive service that utilizes a handheld device to deliver low-level electrical currents to the facial muscles and skin cells. The purpose of this service is to stimulate and strengthen the facial muscles, which can contribute to lifting, toning, and tightening the skin. The electrical currents used in microcurrent facials are typically very small and mimic the body's natural electrical currents. The idea is that by applying these gentle currents to the muscles, it can help to retrain and sculpt the facial muscles, resulting in a more youthful and lifted appearance.
Many clients do notice immediate improvements in their skin appearance after a single session of microcurrent facial. These immediate effects may include a temporary tightening and firming of the skin, reduction in puffiness, and a more refreshed look. However, for more significant and long-lasting results, it is generally recommended to undergo regular treatments.
Microcurrent facials are often considered a safe and painless service. They do not involve surgery or require any downtime, allowing individuals to resume their normal activities immediately after the treatment. We work with you to determine if microcurrent facial is suitable for your specific skin concerns and to ensure proper technique and safety during the service.
Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive service used for various skin conditions. It involves the use of abrasive crystals that are propelled against the skin with a handheld vacuum device. The purpose of this procedure is to mechanically exfoliate the outermost layer of the skin, known as the stratum corneum. By removing this layer, microdermabrasion can help improve uneven skin tone and texture, reduce the appearance of photoaging (damage caused by sun exposure), striae (stretch marks), melasma (hyperpigmentation), and scars, including acne scars.
The process of microdermabrasion stimulates the wound healing response in the skin. After the procedure, the skin undergoes a natural regenerative process, leading to the formation of new, healthier-looking skin. This can result in enhanced cosmesis, or the overall appearance of the skin.
One of the advantages of microdermabrasion is its safety for all Fitzpatrick skin types. The Fitzpatrick scale is a classification system used to categorize different skin types based on their response to sun exposure.
In addition to its cosmetic benefits, microdermabrasion has been studied for its effects on skin permeability. By removing the outer layer of the skin, microdermabrasion can improve the absorption and penetration of topical medications or active ingredients applied to the treated area. This can be beneficial for enhancing the delivery of transdermal medications or cosmeceuticals, such as anti-aging products.
It's important to note that while microdermabrasion can provide noticeable improvements in the skin's appearance, multiple sessions may be required to achieve optimal results. The number of microdermabrasions needed can vary depending on the individual and the specific skin concern being addressed. We work with you to determine if microdermabrasion is suitable for your specific needs.
Red light therapy, also known as low-level laser light therapy or photobiomodulation, is a non-invasive service that uses red light at a low wavelength to provide various benefits to the skin and body. It has gained popularity in recent years for its potential therapeutic effects.
In terms of skin appearance, red light therapy has been used to address issues such as redness, acne, scars, wrinkles, and signs of aging. The therapy works by stimulating energy production in cells, which helps improve cellular function and promote healing. By reducing oxidative stress caused by inflammation, red light therapy can enhance the overall appearance and health of the skin.
If you're considering red light we will work with you to determine if this is an appropriate approach to address your specific needs.
