ZO Stimulator Peel

The peel uses a blend of  alpha-hydroxy acids (glycolic, lactic, and citric acids) and salicylic acid to gently remove dead skin cells, revealing brighter, smoother skin underneath.  It is a minimum downtime peel, meaning there’s typically no significant redness, peeling, or irritation afterwards, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.  We typically recommend this treatment for a quick glow or as a prep to get your skin ready for a deeper treatment.

SkinBetter Science AlphaRet Peel (30 & 50)

The SkinBetter Science Alpharet Peel is a professional-use chemical peel designed to improve skin tone and texture, particularly for those with mild to moderate photodamage.  It combines AlphaRet, a patented retinoid, with alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and a triple acid blend (glycolic, lactic, and salicylic acids) to exfoliate, stimulate collagen production, and boost cellular turnover.  This results in smoother, brighter, and more radiant skin.  This peel is a lower depth peel with light to mild peeling and little downtime.

SkinCeuticals Micro 20 & Micro 20 Plus Peel

SkinCeuticals Micropeel is a chemical exfoliation treatment designed to address acne, fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and other skin imperfections.  It utilizes a 20% salicylic acid solution to help reduce breakouts, improve skin texture, and reveal a brighter, more even complexion.  The treatment is suitable for oily, combination, and blemish-prone skin types. Most patients experience light peeling or shedding for about 3-5 days after this peel.

SkinCeuticals Pigment Balancing Peel

The SkinCeuticals Pigment Balancing Peel is designed to address hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone.  It combines powerful brightening and anti-inflammatory agents with a peeling solution to accelerate cell renewal and diminish discoloration.  The peel is formulated with glycolic acid, citric acid, vitamin C, and Emblica.  We typically recommend this peel for acne-prone or oily skintypes as it can be drying. As a lower depth peel most patients experience light peeling for about 2-3 days.

SkinCeuticals Advance Corrective Peel

The SkinCeuticals Advanced Corrective Peel is a medium depth chemical peel designed to improve skin tone and texture, reduce discoloration, and minimize the appearance of pores.  It utilizes a blend of clinical-grade acids, including phenylethyl resorcinol, salicylic acid, and lactic acid, to exfoliate, brighten, and refine the skin.  This peel is suitable for all skin types and can address concerns like uneven skin tone, fine lines, and acne. This peel has about 3 days of fairly significant skin peeling.

Perfect Derma Peel

The Perfect Derma Peel (AKA, Perfect Peel) is a medical-grade chemical peel designed to improve skin tone, texture, and clarity.  It is a medium-depth peel that can be used on all skin types and addresses various concerns like acne, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and signs of aging.  The peel utilizes a blend of powerful ingredients to exfoliate the skin, stimulate collagen production, and reveal a brighter, more youthful complexion. You can expect about 3-5 days of downtime with significant sheet peeling for most patients. 

ZO 3 Step Peel

The peel utilizes a blend of exfoliants like salicylic acid, TCA, and lactic acid to remove the outer layer of the epidermis. A 6% retinol creme is then applied to stimulate collagen production and cellular renewal.  Finally, a calming creme is used to soothe and hydrate the skin, rebalancing moisture and improving barrier function.  The ZO 3-Step Peel typically results in a moderate amount of downtime, with peeling and flaking expected for several days. 

SkinCeuticals Smart TCA Peel

SkinCeuticals Smart TCA Peel is a deep chemical peel that utilizes trichloroacetic acid (TCA) to improve skin texture and address signs of aging.  It is designed to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, discoloration, and enlarged pores.  The peel also promotes a brighter, smoother, and more radiant complexion by exfoliating dead skin cells and stimulating new cell growth.  Most patients have moderate downtime with our TCA peels although we can adjust the depth depending on our patient’s tolerance.

Facials

HydraFacial®

The HydraFacial treatment is one of the newest advances in noninvasive skin resurfacing. HydraFacial is the only hydradermabrasion procedure that combines cleansing, exfoliation, chemical exfoliation, extractions, and hydration while simultaneously infusing antioxidants, resulting in clearer, more beautiful skin with no discomfort or downtime. The HydraFacial treatment improves the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, congested and enlarged pores, oily or acne-prone skin, hyperpigmentation, and brown spots. It is suitable for all skin types.

Standard Facial

During the 60-minute facial, our focus will be on correction. Our skin therapists will start with a skin analysis to determine what can be improved. We use a number of different modalities and techniques such as sonic cleansing, double exfoliation, extractions, pressure point massage, lymphatic drainage, LED therapy, and skin-specific serums and treatment masks. Each facial is customized for different skin types.

Express Facial

All the benefits included in a regular facial condensed into 30 minutes. Perfect before a night out or during a long work day, this facial includes a double cleanse, exfoliation, extractions, and a luxury treatment mask to help bring back your healthy glow with no downtime. We recommend facials every 4 to 6 weeks to maintain healthy, youthful skin.

For more skin rejuvenation options, you may consider microdermabrasion or CO2 fractional resurfacing.
