Skin Care Products
Retinol is a perfect start for anyone wanting to up their skincare game. It's a product that can benefit all skin types and people of all ages. One of our favorite Retinols is from Alastin. This particular product works great on all skin types and is more hydrating than some of the other retinols on the market. This retinol comes in 2 different strengths .25% and .50% but we have found that our clients can all handle the stronger strength. (Retail price is $60)
Another popular choice is made by ZO Skin Health and is called Retinol Skin Brightener. This comes in 3 strengths, .25%, .50%, and 1%. Retinol Skin Brightener is a bit stronger than the Alastin so we recommend working your way up to daily usage. (Retail price is $104)
Vivant Skin Care makes Bleaching Serum Forte which is formulated with a low dose hydroquinone 2%, kojic acid, and vitamin A. This product will be perfectly suited for someone battling all over pigmentation issues like melasma. (Retail price $74)
Laser Treatments
Clear + Brilliant is by far our most popular laser treatment. Our clients love the results and the little to no downtime that comes with it. This treatment helps with skin tone, texture, pore size and pigmentation. We recommend a series of 3 spaced 1 month apart for best results. Clear + Brilliant treatments take approximately 1 hour from start to finish. Our laser technician Nichole will apply a topical numbing cream to your face, neck or chest for 30 minutes, then she will remove it and begin the treatment. The numbing cream helps to make the treatment comfortable as well as the handheld cooling we provide. (Retail price is $250 each or 3 for $600)
Photofacial (BBL) is a well known laser treatment used to treat sun spots or age spots on the face and body. This treatment is very fast and effective, usually less than 30 minutes. Depending on the severity of your skin it could take multiple sessions spaced 1 month apart to achieve your ultimate goal. (Retail price is $250 each or 3 for $600)
Dual Fraxel is a more aggressive treatment used for anti-aging as well as pigmentation issues. Fraxel does have a little more downtime than the other mentioned treatments, includes a week of redness, swelling, and texture changes. We don't want people to use heavy makeup but we allow for a tinted SPF to help camouflage some of the redness. (Retail price is $600 for face) You can find more information online at https://www.fraxel.com/#where-it-works

Chemical Peel
We use the Lira TCA Mineral Peel. This peel combines salicylic acid and trichloroacetic acid with a special peeling agent for the most effective professional strength peel available. Skin looks and feels rejuvenated, helps to lighten skin and works well treating acne scarring. Similar to the Fraxel, this peel comes with 1 week of downtime while the old skin sheds and the new skin appears. (Retail price is $225)
Dermaplaning or Microdermabrasion are both different options for exfoliating the skin. Either of these treatments will be beneficial during your skincare journey, especially when used 1 week post laser or chemical peel. (Retail price is $60 for deluxe dermaplaning or $90 for a custom facial which includes either dermaplaning or microdermabrasion)
