Skincare Options

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure designed to remove dead skin cells and peach fuzz from the face using a scalpel, resulting in a brighter and smoother complexion. Its advantages incudes softer and smoother skin, a smoother canvas for makeup application, gentle exfoliation, the removal of peach fuzz, and a more radiant appearance.

Benefits of a dermaplane treatment may include:

• Smoother skin texture: Dermaplaning effectively removes dead skin cells and surface debris, leaving the skin feeling smoother and softer immediately after treatment. It helps to improve skin texture and promote a more youthful appearance.
• Enhanced product absorption: By removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells, dermaplaning allows skincare products to penetrate more deeply into the skin. This can enhance the efficacy of serums, moisturizers, and other skincare products, leading to better results.
• Brighter complexion: Dermaplaning helps to reveal fresh, new skin cells and promote cell turnover, resulting in a brighter, more radiant complexion. It can help to reduce the appearance of dullness and uneven skin tone.
• Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles: Dermaplaning can help to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by exfoliating the skin and stimulating collagen production. Over time, regular dermaplaning treatments may help to improve the overall texture and firmness of the skin.
• Diminished appearance of acne scars: Dermaplaning can help to improve the appearance of acne scars by exfoliating the skin and promoting cell turnover. It can help to smooth out the texture of the skin and reduce the visibility of acne scars over time.
• Temporary hair removal: In addition to exfoliating the skin, dermaplaning also removes vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the surface of the skin. This can create a smoother, more even complexion and provide a perfect canvas for makeup application.
• Instant results with no downtime: Dermaplaning is a quick and relatively painless procedure. Unlike some other skincare treatments, dermaplaning typically requires no downtime, and clients can immediately resume their normal activities after treatment.

Dermaplaning may not be for you if you currently have the following conditions:

• Active acne: Dermaplaning can potentially exacerbate active acne lesions or spread bacteria, leading to further breakouts. It’s typically best to avoid dermaplaning if you have active acne or severe acne-prone skin.
• Sensitive or irritated skin: Individuals with highly sensitive or irritated skin, such as those with rosacea, eczema, or psoriasis, may experience increased redness, inflammation, or discomfort following dermaplaning.
• Open wounds or lesions: Dermaplaning should not be performed on areas of the skin with open wounds, cuts, abrasions, or other active lesions. Doing so can increase the risk of infection and interfere with the healing process.
• Sunburned skin: Sunburned skin is already inflamed and sensitive, and dermaplaning can further irritate the skin and increase discomfort. It’s advisable to wait until the sunburn has healed before undergoing dermaplaning.
• Use of certain medications or treatments: Some medications or topical treatments, such as retinoids, oral isotretinoin (Accutane), or certain chemical peels, can thin the skin or increase sensitivity, making it more prone to irritation or injury during dermaplaning. It’s important to disclose any medications or treatments you are currently using to your esthetician before undergoing dermaplaning.
• History of keloid scarring: Individuals with a history of keloid scarring or excessive scarring may be at increased risk of developing hypertrophic scars following dermaplaning.

LED light treatments on the face involve using specific wavelengths of light to target various skin concerns and promote overall skin health. These treatments utilize different colors of LED light to penetrate the skin at different depths and have different effects:

• Red light: This wavelength is commonly used for anti-aging purposes as it stimulates collagen production, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and promotes skin firmness and elasticity.
• Blue light: Blue light therapy is often used to treat acne as it has antibacterial properties that can help kill acne-causing bacteria on the skin and reduce inflammation.
• Near-infrared: Near-infrared light therapy penetrates deeper into the skin and can help with wound healing, reduce inflammation, and improve overall skin health.

During our LED light treatment sessions, the skin is exposed to the selected wavelength of light (red, infrared, or blue) for up to 30 minutes. The treatment is non-invasive, painless, and requires no downtime. LED light therapy can be combined with other skincare treatments for enhanced benefits.

Our LED devices (both LightStim and Celluma) are FDA cleared medical devices to treat wrinkles, acne, and pain.

LED light treatments might not be for you if you have any of the following:

It’s essential to discuss any seizure disorders or concerns with your healthcare provider before undergoing LED light therapy.
• Active skin cancer: LED light therapy should not be performed on areas of the skin with active skin cancer or suspicious lesions. It’s crucial to have any suspicious moles or lesions evaluated by a dermatologist before undergoing treatment.

Nano tip cartridges are used that feature silicone-tipped pins that create nanochannels on the skin, enhancing the absorption of skincare products. Unlike microneedling, which penetrates deeper into the dermis, nano-needling utilizes silicone-tipped cartridges that solely puncture the epidermis. Despite not reaching the deeper skin layers like microneedling, nano-needling still delivers significant anti-aging benefits. This method provides an efficient yet gentle means to address wrinkles, fine lines, uneven skin tone, and dullness. The nano channels formed during the treatment also facilitate better penetration of skincare products. Clients typically notice smoother and well-hydrated skin within days following their session. Additionally, nano-needling aids in firming loose skin and reducing swelling, promoting a youthful appearance. It is commonly employed to enhance skin tone and texture, diminish fine lines around the lips and eyes, and reduce enlarged pores.

Nano Needling might not be for you if you have any of the following:
