Let’s start with the basics. A chemical peel is skincare technique performed ONLY by a trained aesthetician (no trying this at home, kids). The goal of this specific peel treatment is to help remove dry skin and impurities on the outermost layer of skin to help reveal the smooth, supple skin underneath.

Well, that depends. Peels are available in different levels, with lower-level peels usually requiring little to no downtime. On the other hand, high-level peels can cause moderate to severe skin flaking, which is why clients are instructed to stay out of the sun and follow a strict skincare routine. This is also why winter is often the best time to book your chemical peel!

Consult your aesthetician or find a spa near you to find the level that is right for you. COSMEDIX chemical peels range from low Level 1 to a moderate Level 2!

Every peel is different, but common benefits include a brighter complexion, smoother skin, reduced fine lines and wrinkles, a more even skin tone, and radiant-looking skin. You can always choose a peel that addresses specific skincare concerns for a more “targeted” result. What’s not to love?

Not all peels are safe. Please inquire about safe peel options. Consult with a physician beforehand.

Dermaplaning is a treatment that uses a medical scalpel to gently exfoliate the outer layer of dead skin cells and remove fine facial hair commonly known as “peach fuzz”, technically called “vellus” hair. it can be used as an alternative to laser treatments and microdermabrasion or along with them for an enhanced result. This procedure will give your skin a more radiant appearance. Following the treatment, makeup application is smoother, and other skincare products are able to penetrate deeper in turn making them more effective.

The ideal candidate for Dermaplaning has aging, dry, rough, or uneven skin tone. Dermaplaning can also help reduce the appearance of shallow acne scars, fine lines, and superficial hyperpigmentation.

This treatment is extremely safe when performed by a properly trained skincare professional. There is no more risk to the skin than when you shave your legs. There is also no downtime associated with this procedure.

Dermaplaning is effective by performing a gentle scraping motion across the skin’s surface. With hair removals such as waxing and threading, most people have the idea that all hair removal is painful, but Dermaplaning is entirely painless. There are risks of cuts on the skin, however, they are small and very minor as the pressure used for Dermaplaning cannot cause a deep cut. These nicks and scrapes heal within 24-48 hours.

No. There are different types of hair that grow on the body; vellus hair and terminal hair. Vellus hair is found on most areas of the body except palms, soles, lips, and genital areas, whereas terminal hairs are found on the scalp, underarms, and pubic region. The soft and fine vellus hair grows back at the same rate and texture.

Dermaplaning takes anywhere between 30-45 minutes and can be performed every 3-4 weeks. The treatment itself removes approximately 21 days’ worth of dead skin so it is important to let your skin rejuvenate before your next appointment.

Both options are a form of physical exfoliation. Dermaplaning removes vellus hair (peach fuzz) and dead skin cells from the skin, microdermabrasion also exfoliates the surface of the skin, but not as thoroughly or deeply as dermaplaning does.

Yes. Microneedling works with your skin’s natural reactions to a small cut or incision. That’s the best part—your body’s natural collagen and elastin-releasing processes do the work to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, stretch marks, and scars.

We use Collagen P.I.N Micro-Needling devices, which gives you a more comprehensive experience than derma-rollers. The Collagen P.I.N. uses technology that targets varying depths of your skin. Unlike derma-rollers that use the same length of the needle all over, the Collagen P.I.N can be customized for different parts of your skin.

After fully assessing the treatment area to determine the needle length and treatment duration, we will apply a topical serum to your skin to ensure a pain-free, relaxing session. Next, we’ll use the microneedling device to gently scrub the skin, producing thousands of tiny punctures per second and stimulating your skin’s natural process to heal itself. Your skin will naturally produce collagen and elastin to fill out wrinkles and resurface scars. We normally recommend 3-6 treatments one month apart for best results.

After applying a topical anesthetic, you shouldn’t feel anything during the microneedling process. You may feel a slight stinging sensation similar to a mild sunburn after the anesthetic wears off, lasting from a few hours to a few days.

Anyone wanting to get rid of wrinkles and fine lines, acne scars, stretch marks and sun damage. Microneedling is unique in that it works with all skin colors and types whereas traditional methods like lasers and chemicals work best for lighter skin types.

Unlike laser or chemical treatments, you will experience minimal downtime after your Microneedling treatments. Typically you will experience about 24 hours of redness and swelling after each treatment. After the initial 24 hours of downtime, you will be able to wear mineral makeup as long as you follow the directions from your post-treatment kit.

Currently, we treat the face, back, hands, and other areas with stretch marks or scars. Schedule a free skin consultation today to see what options we have available for you.
