Too
much
fun
in
the
sun,
your
diet
and
water
intake
can
take
their
toll
on
your
skin.
If
you
find
that
your
skin
has
been
abused,
Body
Beautiful
can
certainly
help
turn
back
the
clock
on
skin
damage.
Whether
it
is
acne,
scars,
sun
damage,
stretch
marks
or
daily
wear
and
tear,
we
offer
various
services
to
help
you
look
your
best.
It
is
my
job
as
an
esthetician
and
laser
technician
to
help
you
with
your
skin
care
needs.
Some
of
these
treatments
include:
Chemical
Peels,
Microdermabrasion,
Photofacials,
Fractional
Laser
or
Lamprobe

Chemical
Peel
and
Microderm

A
Chemical
Peel
or
Microdermabrasion,
received
with
a
facial,
is
one
of
the
least
invasive
ways
to
improve
the
appearance
of
your
skin.
They
may
be
used
on
all
skin
types
and
on
many
areas
of
the
body
with
a
few
exceptions.
Done
in a
weekly
series
for
up
to
six

Post-treatment |

weeks,
they
can
improve
acne.
By
exfoliating
the
top
layer
of
your
skin,
it
allows
dead
skin
cells
to
shed
more
effectively,
which
reduces
clogged
pores
and
pimples
drastically.
Both
treatments
are
great
for
age
and
liver
spots,
fine
lines,
pigmentation,
rough
or
dry
skin,
scars
and
sun
damage.
Microdermabrasion
can
also
increase
the
number
and
thickness
of
collagen
fibers,
the
number
and
size
of
fibroblasts,
cells
that
make
collagen,
and
the
number
and
orientation
of
elastic
fibers,
giving
the
dermal
layer
more
spring.

You
will
see
subtle
improvements
at
first,
but
that
healthy
glow
will
increase
with
each
treatment
of
your
series.
Then
you
can
maintain
your
vibrant
look
by
receiving
treatment
once
a
month.
Although
Chemical
Peels
and
Microdermabrasion
work
for
superficial
skin
conditions,
deeper
scars
and
pigmentary
abnormalities
may
require
a
Photofacial
or
Fractional
Laser
treatment.

Photofacial (IPL)
|
|
| |
When
skin
rejuvenation is
applied to the face
and neck, it’s
referred to as a
Photofacial. We
use Intense Pulsed
Light (IPL) Therapy
- a skin
rejuvenation
technique that uses
intense pulsed light
waves to treat
damaged cells deep
within the skin’s
layers. Since there
are no incisions
involved, you can
undergo treatment
and go back to your
regular schedule
immediately. The
Photofacial makes
use of an Intense
Pulsed Light (IPL)
device that is
steadily passed over
the skin’s surface
and treatment areas.
The light emits
high-intensity
wavelengths that
reach deep within
the skin’s layers to
cause a structural
breakdown of damaged
cells. This promotes
the healing process
as the body rapidly
removes the injured
tissues and cells.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
| |
|
|
| |
Photofacials
offer
several
benefits for
damaged
skin, and
can help you
achieve a
fresh,
rejuvenated
appearance
as they:
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Reduce the
appearance
of age spots
|
|
| |
Remove fine
lines and
wrinkles
|
|
| |
Improve the
complexion
|
|
| |
Increase
collagen
production
to help
create
healthy and
resilient
skin
|
|
| |
Break down
and remove
damaged skin
tissue and
cells
naturally
|
|
| |
Improve the
texture and
tone of the
skin
|
|
| |
Get rid of
acne scars
and skin
pigmentation
|
|
| |
Enhance skin
tone and
help even
out darker
shades or
patches of
skin |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|

Fractional Laser
(Infrared)
|
|
| |
While Photofacials
target
discolorations, a
Fractional Laser is
used for skin
resurfacing (skin
tightening and
wrinkle reduction)
on all skin types.
This laser is used
to treat problems
that occur on the
face, neck, chest,
back, arms, and legs
(wrinkles, acne
scars, melasma,
stretch marks,
crow’s feet, blotchy
skin). |
|
| |
The Fractional Laser
works by delivering
an array of
high-precision micro
beams (infrared) to
create deep, narrow
columns of
coagulation in the
epidermis and
dermis. This
triggers a
restorative natural
healing process that
creates healthy new
tissue including
collagen.
|
|
| |
Photofacials and
Fractionals are
administered in a
series of four to
six treatments every
four weeks for
optimal results and
may be maintained
with monthly
facials, Chemical
Peels,
Microdermabrasion
and yearly
Photofacial and
Fractional Laser
treatments.
