FAQ

• Facial Rejuvenation with IPL- Intense Pulsed Light Therapy (IPL) is a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment designed to improve the appearance and quality of the skin. High intensity pulsed lights are used to reduce sunspots, visible veins and other imperfections. There is little or no “downtime” and you may resume normal activities following treatment.
  
  The Palomar Light System uses a new technology that makes treatments easier and faster in order to accommodate your busy lifestyle. We are offering a package of 5 treatments to obtain optimal results. This package includes two microdermabrasion applications and clinical home care products to extend, maximize and enhance the results of your treatment plan. The treatments take 30-45 minutes and are scheduled 3-4 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments are recommended once or twice a year.

• Extraction Facial- Utilizing various preparatory solutions, we pre-soften surface buildup and manually extract comedones and debris. Extraction is suited for skin prone to minor breakouts, as well as more active acneic conditions. This treatment is a deep pore cleanser that may be performed weekly for acne control and maintenance.

Back

• Microdermabrasion- A non-surgical technique that safely retextures most skin types. The process utilizes three specially designed, state-of-the-art subsystems: a vacuum system, compressor and a patented hand piece. Gently gliding the hand piece over the treatment area produces results that are immediately and noticeably improved. The texture is softer and smoother with virtually no downtime. For Scar Revision (depending upon the condition of the skin), scars can be made less obvious with multiple treatments.

Back

• Oxygenating Facial Treatment- This treatment is an antioxidant therapy specifically formulated to ameliorate free radical damage caused by environment, pollutants, allergens, improper diet, medications, smoking and aging. Oxygenation helps to promote healing and rejuvenation of the skin, and is recommended between peels and when peeling is not indicated. Exceptional for pregnant or nursing mothers.

Back

• Pumpkin Peel Beta-C Mask- An excellent treatment for smoothing the skin using natural pumpkin as its source. This treatment has a built in fruit acid enzyme and contains vitamin A derivatives that target receptors responsible for activating cellular turnover. This therapy unites exfoliation with reduction of free radicals by introducing a nutritional vitamin and enzyme infusion into the skin. Skin is softer, smoother and appears more radiant. A wonderful precursor to chemical peels.

Back

• PCA Peel with Hydroquinone- This treatment is exceptional for light exfoliation. It will also help to correct pigment discolorations caused by sun damage, medications and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation caused by acne. This peel is “user-friendly” to all skin types. The appropriate number of applications will depend upon the individual’s needs.

Back

• PCA Peel with Hydroquinone and Resorcinol- The combination of AHA’s, salicylic acid, kojic acid, hydroquinone and resorcinol will provide more exfoliation and help to even out the overall skin tone. This treatment is formulated for oilier, thicker and more resilient skin types.

Back

• Sensi Peel- A formulation specifically designed for sensitive skin types. This solution contains a blend of L-lactic acid and trichloroacetic acid. Kojic and azelaic acids also provide antibacterial properties. A blend of essential fatty acids and plant derived progesterone leave the skin feeling plump and hydrated.

Back

• Jessner’s Peel- This moderate depth peel is a stronger chemical that involves two different acid solutions, Salicylic acid blended with lactic acid and resorcinol. This is an exceptional treatment for skin with greater corrective needs. This superficial peel creates a great deal of exfoliation and rarely penetrates deeply so it is safer. This peel has a low ratio for complications “a controlled peel”.

Back

• Ultra Peel Forte- This is a patented solution especially effective for patients with more dramatic wrinkling, acne scarring, pigment disorders, aging skin and photo-damaged skin.

  The combination of TCA and lactic acid result in a more aggressive treatment.

Back

• TCA Peel- Trichloracetic acid chemical peels are highly effective in promoting smoothness and vitality. These applications are more extreme and require possible downtime. Candidates for these peels are those who require softening of scars, smoothing textural irregularities and minimizing skin laxity. The results are a healthier, rejuvenated skin.

Back

• Waxing- For patients using topical medications or having chemical peels, waxing of the face can potentially be problematic. We offer our skin care patients this service as your technician is familiar with waxing treated skin types.
