Skin Care Treatments

A chemical peel uses a chemical solution to smooth the texture of your skin by removing the damaged outer layers. A chemical peel is one of the least invasive ways to improve the appearance of your skin. Sun exposure, acne, or just getting older can leave your skin tone uneven, wrinkled, spotted or scarred.

 

A chemical peel can help improve: 

• Acne or acne scars

• Age and liver spots

• Fine lines and wrinkles

• Freckles

• Irregular skin pigmentation

• Rough skin and scaly patches

• Scars

• Sun-damaged skin

A VI Peel is specially formulated for pigmented, aging skin and skin with acne scars. 

 

Your Peel for Pigmented Skin

Hyperpigmentation occurs when patches of skin become darker than surrounding skin. Although it is usually harmless, it can be difficult to treat effectively. A VI Peel can help restore the skin tone you deserve. 

 

Specifically formulated for pigmented skin: 

• Reduces the appearance of age spots

• Brightens even the most stubborn areas of discoloration

• Smooths away rough skin texture

 

Your Peel for Acne Scars and Skin Texture

After your skin is acne free, you might be left with scars or increased pigmentation. Acne scars will often fade over time, but sometimes they need a little help. A VI Peel will help eliminate acne scars and skin damage, leaving your skin smooth and clear. 

 

Specifically formulated for acne scars:

• Helps smooth skin texture and repair acne scars

• Brightens dark areas left after an acne scar

• Soothes inflammation and redness

 

Your Peel for Anti-Aging Skin

The aging process can cause your skin to become lax, pigmented, and rough. Sun exposure and environmental damage just add to the problem. Aging is inevitable, but the VI Peel can make a difference in as little as 7 days.  

 

Specifically formulated to rejuvenate aging skin and help prevent future damage:

• Softens fine lines and wrinkles

• Restores a more even skin tone

• Smooths away rough skin texture

Celluma is unique and quite unlike any other low-level light therapy device available today. Based on NASA research, Celluma delivers blue, red, and near-infrared light energy simultaneously to safely treat a wide variety of conditions. Each wavelength is absorbed by different molecules that act as a signaling mechanism for different cellular processes. For example, some reduce inflammation and some kill bacteria, while others enhance localized circulation.

SkinPen is a micro skin procedure designed to assist in your skin’s natural ability to repair itself.

By creating a series of hundreds of vertical microscopic channels into the dermis (the top layer of your skin), SkinPen stimulates the natural production of new collagen and elastin.

 

Why SkinPen?

SkinPen is an effective vertical microneedling device that has many advantages:

• Minimally invasive and quick

• Performed in office with little or no downtime

• May be used on all skin types

• Improves the look of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars.

•  May be used on most all parts of the body.

The Basics: What Is PRP?

Platelet-rich plasma comes from your blood, and it’s a therapy being used to amazing effect anywhere we want to stimulate healing and growth. Athletes like Tiger Woods and Rafael Nadal have used it to dramatically speed up healing from sports injuries. Doctors use it frequently after surgery for difficult-to-heal injuries in ligaments and tendons, such as after torn rotator cuff procedures. It’s also being used to complement and enhance the effectiveness of cosmetic treatments. Plasma is the clear part of your blood, and platelets contain the many types of proteins and growth factors your body needs to regenerate tissue and repair damage. Under ordinary circumstances, an injury will trigger your body to send platelets to the injured area. With PRP therapy, we simply isolate and then concentrate those platelets and send them right where we want them to go.

How We Do It

Both these treatments use the power of your own body to heal itself, and when you combine them, you get even greater (and faster) results.

Obtaining The PRP

When you arrive for your treatment, we’ll start by drawing some blood. We don’t need much because we’re concentrating the platelets that are already there. The blood will be spun by a centrifuge, which separates the various components by their mass. This allows us to remove the platelets from the rest of the blood and concentrate them into a serum. When you see the serum, you’ll notice it looks like a clear gel: that’s because the part of your blood that makes it appear red when it leaves your body–the red blood cells–aren’t used in this therapy.

Applying Treatment

For your microneedling treatment, you’ll first receive a numbing cream on the area to be treated, which just ensures you’ll find the whole experience perfectly comfortable. Then we apply the PRP to your face and use the SkinPen over the PRP. The microneedling treatment creates thousands of microscopic channels that allow the PRP to reach the deeper layers of your skin for maximum collagen production and cell rejuvenation.

Vivace® Microneedling is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to stimulate natural collagen production and deliver tighter, smoother, and more radiant skin. Designed for all skin types, this FDA-cleared procedure helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, acne scars, and uneven texture—without the downtime of more aggressive treatments.

How It Works:

Vivace uses ultra-fine, gold-tipped needles to create microchannels in the skin while simultaneously delivering customizable RF energy deep into the dermis. This dual action promotes the body’s natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production for long-lasting results.
