Brown Spot & Veins

As we get older, damage from the sun and other environmental factors start to show by way of brown spots or patches and sometimes as tiny, red veins visible on the skin.  To rejuvenate skin and recapture the clarity of youth we use Ipl photorejuvenation (intense pulsed light) on any area of the face or body where you have concerns.

What is Photorejuvenation?

Photorejuvenation is a series of Intense Pulsed Light treatments that improves the appearance of rosacea, flushing, broken capillaries, sun damaged skin, age spots and skin texture. Treatment also improves mild acne scars, tightens pores and softens fine lines. You will enjoy smoother skin with a more even tone. Treatments are especially effective for improving the appearance of the face, neck, chest, and hands. You can usually resume normal activities immediately.

How does the treatment work?

An intense light is applied in a series of gentle pulses over the treatment area. Without damaging the skin, the light penetrates through the skin and is absorbed by the abnormally dilated vessels or pigmentation. The heat causes damage to the vessel or brown patch, and the body begins its natural healing process. The brown patch will darken before it flakes off, or the body absorbs it. Treatments are ideally spaced every three or four weeks.

How many treatments will I need?

For optimal results, a series of 3 to 5 treatments are recommended. Follow up treatments may be desired annually to maintain your results.

What is a treatment like?

Your treatment may vary from 15 to 45 minutes depending on the size of the area. First, the area to be treated is cleansed and a cool gel applied. Discomfort is minimal and during your treatment the skin is “comforted” by cool witch hazel pads. After your treatment, the gel is removed, the skin cleansed, and a sunscreen applied. Immediately following your treatment, your skin may appear flushed, brown pigment spots may appear darker, and capillaries may be more visible. 

What improvement will I see?

You should expect to see a gradual decrease in redness, broken capillaries, flushing, irregular pigmentation, pore size and fine lines. After each treatment, your skin will feel smoother and appear to have a more even tone.

Skin Peels

Designed to remove the rough, dead cells on the skin surface to brighten and create a radiant complexion with no down time. Skin peels come in a range of strengths tailored to suit your skin type and address problems such as pigmentation, dull skin and open pores.

Glycolic Skin Peel

Glycolic Acid is an Alpha Hydroxy Acid used to rejuvenate the skin and create a younger and firmer appearance.

It is the most popular peel for anti-aging. Glycolic Acid thoroughly exfoliates and stimulates new skin cell and collagen production, leaving skin feeling firmer and looking younger.

Alphabeta Skin Peel

Ideal for congested skin or outbreaks, with the Alpha Beta Peel, Salicylic Acid is used in conjunction with Glycolic Acid to provide an extremely effective skin exfoliation and skin peel rejuvenation treatment.

LA Peel (only available with Aesthetic Nurse)

Lactic Acid, an Alpha Hydroxy Acid, is a naturally occurring human metabolite. Lactic Acid is a non-irritating rapid exfoliator. It can be more moisturizing than Salicylic or Glycolic Acid peels and there is less potential for allergic reactions with this type of acid peel. - Lactic Acid is recommended for those with dry and / or sensitive skin
and can also be beneficial to those that have used Glycolic Acid for a long period and want to improve results.

TCA Peel (only available with Aesthetic Nurse)

The TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) Peel, is an effective intermediate to deep peeling agent, excellent for skin rejuvenation that provides dramatic results every time. TCA peels are ideally suited for people who have undergone other peel treatments and now require a deeper peel for more effective results. TCA actively treats
surface wrinkles, superficial blemishes, and pigmentation problems. TCA can be used for face and neck.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion uses a highly controlled spray of fine crystals to remove the outer layer of skin - this action regenerates, repairs and gradually corrects blemishes on the skin, giving a uniform appearance, firmness and glow.

This relaxing treatment super-cleanses pores to refine skin texture and boost production of fresh cells and collagen -
