- Facials are designed to help treat and prevent common skin issues.
- Facials can provide a smoother skin texture, restore facial hydration, treat breakouts, firm the skin, and promote a glowing complexion.
- A facial is a multi-step process that includes cleansing and extraction processes to kill bacteria and clean the pores.
- Temporary redness may occur immediately following a facial, but patients can typically resume their regular activities.

Microdermabrasion
- Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive exfoliation technique that uses the latest diamond-tip technique.
- Microdermabrasion treatments can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, crow’s feet, age spots, acne scars, and poor pigmentation.
- Microdermabrasion treatments remove the outermost layer of dry, dead skin cells to reveal your healthier looking cells and promotes the production of new collagen cells.
Microneedling
- Microneedling, or collagen induction therapy, can improve your skin’s texture, treat surface scarring, and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
- Tiny needles create small holes in the skin, triggering your body’s immune response to produce new collagen and elastin.
- There is no tissue destruction with micro needling, but patients may experience pinpoint bleeding that resolves itself quickly.
- Redness following treatments is common and will subside within a few hours.
- Microneedling is relatively painless, but some patients note a sandpaper sensation during treatment.
Dermaplane
- Dermaplane is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes a specially designed blade.
- The blade is gently stroked along the skin at an angle, removing dead skin cells and small, light hairs.
- Dermaplane may be performed as a stand-alone treatment or as an exfoliation prior to another skin care treatment.
- Dermaplane promotes smoother skin, reduces recent acne scars, and improves the appearance of fine lines.
- Results are immediate, and there is no downtime following a dermaplane treatment.
- Dermaplane is not recommended for patients with moderate or severe acne.
