Our facial peels shed away the top layer of your skin to remove pore-blocking impurities and reduce the appearance of scarring. Once your skin finishes peeling, you’ll have fresh, smooth, and soft skin.
The HydraFacial system uses innovative Vortex-Fusion technology to exfoliate and extract dirt and other debris from the skin. This non-invasive treatment is perfect for people suffering from oily, acne-prone skin.
Through superfine salt particles, the SaltFacial gently exfoliates the top layer of skin to remove dirt and clarify the pores. After, ultrasound technology helps penetrate the skin with antioxidant-rich, acne-fighting serums.
Intense pulsed light (IPL) treats hyperpigmentation from acne scarring by targeting melanin (pigment-producing cells) in the skin. When melanin absorbs light, that energy transforms into heat and destroys hyperactive melanin, giving you a more evenly toned complexion. The pulsed light also destroys the bacteria which contributes to acne.
The SkinPen is an FDA-cleared microneedling device used to treat acne scars and boost collagen production. Tiny needles penetrate the skin and create micro-wounds, jumpstarting the body’s natural healing process to reduce acne-induced hyperpigmentation.
A Plasma Pen treatment reduces acne scarring by stimulating fibroblast therapy, which induces collagen production. Plasma energy, generated by combining electrostatic energy and nitrogen from the air, rejuvenates the skin and leaves you with a clear, youthful complexion. The plasma energy also destroys the bacteria which contributes to the formation of acne.
Bellafill combines the age-defying benefits of dermal fillers with incredible acne scar reduction. As the first and only filler approved to treat acne scars, Bellafill uses polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microspheres to restore your skin’s tone and youthfulness.
