YOUR FUTURE LOOKS CLEARER
Acne affects nearly 100% of the population at some point. For some, acne is mild and transient; for others, it can be severe and long lasting. Acne usually begins around the time of puberty. Acne may improve after puberty, but for many, acne persists into and during middle age.
Treatment for acne has improved dramatically in the last two decades. With the development of new cosmetic treatment modalities such as lasers and light therapy, new acne treatments have also been developed.
DermaSculpt Fractional Laser – The DermaSculpt Fractional Laser Treatment is designed to address acne scars, scars, wrinkles, uneven pigmentation and wrinkles around the eyes. It treats aging or sun damaged skin by targeting sections of the skin matrix that have been damaged. It then generates microscopic ‘wounds’ within that area, thereby triggering the body’s natural healing response, boosting the production of both collagen and new skin cells.
Intense Pulsed Light Laser – Intense Pulsed Light therapy (IPL) is an effective and efficient treatment for skin pigmentations including brown spots, sun spots, lentigos, and melasma. The IPL is a high energy beam which penetrates the superficial skin layer and is selectively absorbed by the pigmented cells underneath the skin causing them to fragment into minute particles. These minute particles are then removed later on by the body’s systems.
Pulsed Dye Laser – Pulsed dye laser (PDL) is a type of laser therapy used for treatment of age spots, moles, psoriasis and birthmarks. PDL uses a beam of light at a specific wavelength and is used for conditions or spots on the skin which are made up of blood and blood vessels. This laser can be used for all ages and all skin types. Pulsed-dye laser treatments are minimally invasive and may cause bruising which may last a few days.
Levulan – Levulan can be used in combination with the IPL or PDL. Clinical trials show improvement of mild to severe acne, acne scars, and photoaging; it also shrinks sebaceous glands. This technique requires strict sun avoidance for 48 hours after the treatment.
Acne Medical Facials
Acne Medical Facials are a popular and effective treatment that includes steam, deep pore cleansing masque, extractions and/or hydrating masque.
Radiesse®
Radiesse® uses advanced, calcium-based microsphere technology to deliver soft, natural-looking results you can see immediately. Radiesse® stimulates your body to produce new collagen and can be used for “smile lines”, “marionette lines” (facial lines that extend down from either side of the mouth), nose, cheeks, chin, jaw line and hands.
Silicone
Microdroplet silicone injections can be used to permanently rebuild tissue in desired sites by stimulating the body’s own collagen production. Used for decades in the skin, liquid silicone oil can be used to fill deep acne scars.
DermaSweep
The DermaSweep is a state-of-the art non-invasive particle-free microdermabrasion, exfoliation and skin resurfacing treatment. Using the Epi-Infusion option, skin specific solutions, including Vitamin C for anti-aging, kojic acid for hyperpigmentation, salicylic acid for chronic breakouts, or hyaluronic acid for dehydration, are applied directly to skin following the microdermabrasion for fresher, better-looking skin.
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion rejuvenates and revitalizes your skin and stimulates the production of new skin cells and collagen that can improve skin texture. Treatments take approximately 30 minutes and most patients can return to work immediately after having the procedure.
Peels
Glycolic Peel – Glycolic Peel – The Glycolic Peel is an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) peel, the mildest of the peel formulas and produces light peels for treatment of fine wrinkles, areas of dryness, uneven pigmentation and acne.
Jessners Peel – The Jessners Peel formula is a combination of salicylic and lactic acids and can be used to lighten areas of hyperpigmentation and to treat aged sun-damaged skin.
Salicylic Peel – The Salicylic Peel is a Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) peel, a mildly aggressive peel formula that helps control oil and acne as well as removes dead skin cells.
Trichloroacetic Acid Peel – The TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) Peel is an effective intermediate to deep peeling agent, excellent for treating wrinkles, superficial blemishes, pigmentation problems and for rejuvenating the skin. TCA peels are ideally suited for people who have undergone other peel treatments and now require a deeper peel for more effective results.
Vitamin C Peel – Vitamin C peels are a good option for those looking for a refreshed, radiant appearance but may not yet be ready for a chemical peel. Due to the anti-oxidant properties of vitamin C, this peel helps repair and heal environmentally damaged skin.
