ACNE

Acne occurs when dead skin cells clog the skin’s sebaceous glands, often contributing to increased breakouts, redness and oiliness. We recommend treatments and products that address this problem through detoxification and by targeting inflammation and oil production.

Usually the result of hormonal activity, stress and/or poor dietary habits, acne occurs when dead skin cells aren’t properly shed and clog the skin’s sebaceous glands (natural oil-producing glands). Characterized by excessive blemishing, redness and/or oiliness, acne often first appears during adolescence, yet can continue and reappear later in life. In addition to traditional treatments and antibiotics—which can be toxic to the system—harsh chemical ingredients like sodium lauryl sulfate and benzoyl peroxide can worsen this condition and spark rebound breakouts. Carol Robinson, lead Aesthetician, addresses this concern with soothing, natural ingredients designed to eliminate toxins and target inflammation and excess oil production.

Sunblock vs Sunscreen!

There is a difference between sunblock and sunscreen. Sunblock, true to it’s name, reflects the sun’s rays, thereby blocking them from reaching your skin. Sunscreen absorbs rather than reflects ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

Sheild Your Skin From What Ages It.

REFLECT SPF30, by Cosmedix  is an exceptional choice.  Spray on convenience, natural (great for kids too), non-irritating, non-greasy, fragrance free sunblock that leaves a luminous glow!

We love it, and you will too!

Epidermal Leveling is a safe & effective exfoliation, suitable for men & women of all skin tones. This technique utilizes a specially designed surgical instrument to carefully remove the topmost layers of skin, resulting in a beautiful refinished look. Epidermal Leveling removes dead skin cells in addition to the fine vellous facial hair (”peach fuzz”) that can trap excess dirt and oil and leave the complexion looking dull. It also stimulates &rejuvenates skin tissue, making it an effective way to reduce acne scarring, uneven pigmentation, and fine lines & wrinkles. Most people notice marked improvements in the texture and appearance of their skin immediately after their first treatment, making it an excellent procedure to have prior to a special event. Epidermal Leveling can be used alone or in conjunction with other procedures such as enzyme infusions, peels or microcurrent. It is non-invasive and does not require the use of any chemicals, making it suitable even for our pregnant and nursing clients. A healthy and glowing complexion is now quickly and easily within reach with this safe and unique treatment!

Microcurrent Magic! When microcurrent was featured on Oprah, there was no doubt that this scientifically proven, non-invasive,  aesthetic treatment had made it’s way to the top shelf in the anti-aging arsenal.  With our state-of-the-art Bio~Therapeutic system, sagging neck and facial muscles are retrained to lift and tighten, while collagen, elastin and ATP are stimulated to give your skin that glow from within.

Wow. How? To understand how it works is to realize that humans, in effect, are electrically charged beings.  Microcurrent treatments emit subtle electrical frequencies that mimic the body’s own electrical signals, sending messages to the musculature and cells in the skin, thereby increasing the amount of ATP that is produced.  ATP is referred to as the “current of life” as it is literally the energy transfer or power source that makes life itself possible in every living organism.  Your skin requires massive amounts of ATP to thrive, regenerate and renew itself.  Moreover, facial muscles are re-educated with an assertive series of sculpting and contouring movements designed to lengthen or shorten muscles on demand, addressing the expression aging of contracted muscles, and traditional aging of atrophied muscles.

The Results: Visibly lifted, sculpted, firmed and toned face and neck muscles, along with hydrated, plump and gloriously glowing skin!  Pair this with microbermabrasion and you have  what industry insiders consider the best anti-aging treatment available on the market today!

The most exciting advancement in skin care in recent years! Chirally correct medical-grade peels are a cosmetic non-surgical technique used to  enhance facial skin by reducing wrinkles, evening out skin tone, treating sun damage, eradicating the appearance of acne scars and blemishes, and treating precancerous skin conditions.

Why is Chiral Better? Traditional chemical peels are placed on the skin and burn their way down to the desired level, creating inflammation and excessive wounding.  Our  Cosmedix chirally correct peels, however, are “intelligent,” in that they promote the health and integrity of the skin.  Once a  peel treatment is applied to the skin, it penetrates to the desired level and begins to stimulate and induce collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycans (promotes the ability of collagen fibres to retain moisture).  Also working to prevent further damage, the treatment will normalize the skin, regulate oil production and diminish free radical activity.

Party! Most people will see immediate results following their peel, such as improved texture, clarity of skin and diminished fine lines. Because these peels are non-inflammatory, you can head right out to a party without anyone knowing you just had a peel!
