Microneedling is the process of creating microscopic channels into the superficial and deep layers of the skin. The depth can be controlled by the treatment provider. This can help to treat pigment and discoloration issues, as well as wrinkles, acne scars & other scaring. RF microneedling is the same except it has an added benefit of energy in the form of heat( radiofrequency). Examples of RF Microneedling are Morpheus8, Genius, Profound RF, infini, Factora, Vivace, Potenza, Secret. This permits skin tightening to some degree. Skin tightening with RF microneedling usually requires multiple sessions and the duration of improvement is usually several months to less than a year. This is why we like ULTHERAPY for non invasive skin tightening alone as it requires one session and usually lasts over 1.5 years, though it will NOT address acne scars, discoloration or surface issues. RF microneedling done in our office uses the Lutronic Genius which has a unique and intelligent technology to help protect the top layers of the skin while providing real-time feedback during the procedure. This allows for treatments on all skin types and colors, including tanned skin. By delivering customized energy precisely to the dermis, it creates a micro-injury to jump-start your body’s natural healing process for firm and renewed skin

Years of sun exposure and the aging process take their toll on the skin, creating lines, wrinkles, and changes in texture and color. Microdermabrasion can reduce the effects of aging on our skin. Microdermabrasion is a treatment that can improve fine lines, skin texture and color by removing the topmost layer of skin leaving it more supple and vibrant. MicroExfoliation also stimulates the elastic tissue beneath the surface of the skin resulting in a healthier and firmer appearance.*
A wonderful alternative to chemical peels, the NewApeel™ MicroExfoliation treatment is non-invasive, pain-free and requires no down time after treatment. There are no messy crystals, which are used by other microdermabrasion systems. Leading plastic surgeons and dermatologist regard the NewApeel™ system as being more gentle and affective than other exfoliating systems, even at higher settings. Results are gradual but highly effective. Most people experience softer, smoother skin after their first treatment.*
- Sun Damaged Skin- Face and Neck
- Body Reduction of acne, blackheads, whiteheads
- Reduction of pore size & fine lines R
- Rejuvenation of skin health, texture and tone
- No downtime
Treatments can be done on an individual basis, but an initial series of 6 treatments spaced apart every 2-3 weeks is recommended. Each treatment takes about 20 minutes. (Unlike a spa treatment there is NO moisturizing mask or full facial , We are not a Spa but as a plastic surgery office we offer medical grade exfoliation, If you are looking for a Spa atmosphere and pampering please do not choose this option).Treatments cost $80 per session, or $450 for a discounted package of six treatments. It is important to use sun protection post treatment and not to have recently used any retin-A, or exfoliating agents (alpha hydroxyl, glycolic acids, etc) for approximately 3-7 days before receiving a treatment.
Chemical Peels use chemicals such as alpha or beta hydrox acids to resurface the top layer of skin cells address skin texture, tone, anti aging and/or acne concerns. Beta -Hydroxy peels are an effective way to reduce acne break outs. Treatments can be done on an individual basis, but a series of 6 is usually recommended spaced apart 2-3 weeks. Chemical peels can be superficial, medium or deep. Different grades or percentages increase the damage or depth desired, we use 30%-70% grades. Most peels are superficial with no downtime. Unlike PCA peels, the Glycolic peels in general do not cause much if any peeling , mostly redness. Cost $200-$300 depending on grade desired. It is important to use sun protection post treatment and not to have recently used any retin-A, or exfoliating agents (alpha hydroxyl or glycolic acids) for 3-7 days before receiving a treatment.

We suggest you apply a high SPF sunscreen containing UVA and UVB protection over all treated areas daily. For your convenience we carry SkinCeuticals’ Sheer Physical UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 50 containing zinc and titanium for maximized protection. For maintenance, we suggest the use of Retexturing Activator corrector. The corrector is used in conjunction with your microdermabrasion treatments by continuing cell turn over to diminish fine lines and wrinkles, smooth texture, and improve clogged pores and uneven skin tone.

Microneedling (AKA Collagen Induction Therapy), a 30 minute treatment, is used to improve tone/texture, surface imperfections and scaring, and fine lines. It creates tiny micro channels (holes) in the skin to allow it to heal itself and create collagen and elastin. We use the DermaPEN which allows for predictable depths from very superficial(0.5 mm) to very deep penetration (2.5 mm) into the skin. Additionally, serums or growth factors can be added to the treatment which permit deep absorption of growth factors, antioxidant, lightening creams and gels to enhance results depending on your specific needs. Various body areas such as the face, neck, chest and arms can be treated. It is safe for all skin types. During the treatment it may feel more like "sandpaper" than needles. After the treatment you will be slightly red for the remainder of the day. Redness typically last 1-2 days, though very intense/deeper treatments may have several days of redness. A series of 3 or more treatments maybe recommended depending on your improvement goals.
