Acne
With more than 50 million Americans affected, acne is the most common skin disorder in the United States. The misconception that acne is primarily a problem for teens and that they’re the only patients in need of acne treatment disregards the millions of adults who have fought acne for decades. Caused primarily by diet, stress, and hormones, acne can affect teens, young adults, and men and women of all ages. Even when acne is mild, this medical condition can result in physical scarring, anxiety, and emotional distress. Our medical aestheticians can use the latest procedures and product technology to custom-treat your acne issues. We avoid the cookie cutter approach, as success depends on your age, skin type, breakout diagnosis, and even acne type. Proper care of the skin and use of the right skincare products can make a significant difference in controlling acne. Advances in acne laser treatments and skin care treatments can give you the smooth and clear skin you’ve always wanted.

Getting pampered usually means treating yourself to something you wouldn’t normally do. It can also mean treating yourself to something you simply can’t do. The back facial is the best of both: a luxurious, exfoliating treatment for your hard-to-reach backside. Back facials are particularly famed for combating the dreaded “backne.” Even if you don’t suffer from the condition, a back facial will leave your skin smooth and ready for even the deepest of plunging backline dresses. This back treatment begins with a cleansing and exfoliation of the area, followed by extractions of the impurities beneath the skin’s surface, and a mask is applied. Finally, the back is moisturized to restore nutrients and hydration. This back facial also includes a neck, shoulder, and back massage to compliment this restorative treatment.

Laser Treatments
Our laser treatments use the latest scientific technologies to significantly improve the appearance of acne and acne scarring
Icon™ 1540 Laser
The Icon™ 1540 fractional non-ablative laser offers superior results with little to no downtime. Its fractional microbeams penetrate deep into the skin, stimulating fibroblasts to create more collagen. The controlled thermal injury induced by the laser results in a natural healing process that forms new, healthy tissue. This non-ablative approach offers significant improvement of fine lines, loss of firmness, acne scarring, stretch marks, surgical scars, pigmentation, and uneven texture. A series of two to four treatments is generally recommended for optimal results.
Purpose: Acne, Hyperpigmentation, Scar Removal
Recommended Time Between Treatments for Optimal Results: 4 to 6 weeks
PicoSure® FOCUS™ Lens Array
PicoSure® FOCUS™ Lens Array is a highly unique laser that is the next generation for skin revitalization and rejuvenation. This treatment addresses sun damage (skin discoloration), fine lines, texture, scars, and even stretch marks. A quick and gentle treatment allows the lens array to reach precise skin depths. Each pulse treats only 10 percent of the skin at the high-energy picosecond Focus level, and the remaining 90 percent of the skin receives the lower level energy. This allows deeper penetration into the dermis and promotes collagen formation, elastin growth, and a non-traumatic tissue healing response that softens scars and stretch marks. The result is higher safety, only one to two days of tenderness, and better outcomes. Treatment is safe for all skin types and can be used on the face, neck, chest, hands, arms, and legs.
A series of three treatments spaced three to four weeks apart is recommended for optimal results.
Purpose: Acne, Hyperpigmentation
Recommended Time Between Treatments for Optimal Results: 4 weeks

Microneedling

Surgical Needling
This treatment uses surgical needles to create temporary channels in the dermis of the skin.

Used for both acne and anti-aging, surgical needling significantly reduces scarring and improves the elasticity and thickness of the skin. This procedure is performed by the doctor only.
Purpose: Acne, Anti-Aging

Sonophoresis Spot Treatment
The use of sonophoresis in skin treatment therapy is to provide enhanced permeability of the skin through the use of sound waves. This “permeabilization” of the skin allows a far higher absorption of the active ingredients that are infused into the skin. The result will be both a greater response to the agent due to better penetration and a clearing up of cystic acne and a lightening of pigmentation from acne scarring. This is a favorable infusion procedure for those wishing to achieve maximum results with a minimum discomfort.
Purpose: Acne
Recommended Time Between Treatments for Optimal Results: As needed
