Acne Treatments/Microdermabrasion/Photo Facial

ACNE Treatments

Our facial spa offers a variety of ways to treat acne and acne scars. After a consultation and evaluation of your skin, we will propose an individualized treatment plan for you, which may include any of the following: skin care products, chemical peel, microdermabrasion, photo facial, or CO2 laser treatments.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a simple, straight forward, non-invasive procedure that revitalizes dull skin, reduces large pores, fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, mild pigment irregularities (hyper pigmentation), stretch marks and age spots. Microdermabrasion uses a device like a fine sandblaster that sprays tiny crystals across the face, mixing gentle abrasion with suction to remove the dead, outer layer of skin. As with other skin rejuvenation techniques, more than one treatment may be needed for maximum results. Treatments take 30 minutes to an hour, and normal activities can be resumed immediately following.

Photo Facial

Photo rejuvenation, a minimally-invasive procedure, only treats the needed areas while leaving the surrounding tissues intact. This provides the patient with smoother, healthier, younger-looking skin. While typically performed on the face, photo rejuvenation can also treat the neck, chest and hands.

During a photo facial, pulses of intense light are delivered to the skin through very specific filters. The tissues absorb the light energy, which stimulates the production of collagen. With new collagen forming, the patient's aging skin begins to soften. Fine lines and wrinkles are decreased and the redness with rosacea can be dramatically reduced.

This procedure is repeated in a series of six treatments, every three to four weeks, in order to achieve optimal results. The number of treatments can vary depending on the area and the skin's condition. Even after one treatment, most patients notice a smoother look and feel to their skin. Improvements will become more evident with every treatment.
