60-Minute Facial includes a customized cleansing, exfoliation and herbal enzymes with steam, face, neck and shoulder massage, extractions, customized mask and finishing cream.

4-Layer Facial - this dramatic facial gives visible results as it tones, improves color, softens lines and adds moisture. Layers of vitamin rich serums are applied followed by a seaweed mask and a self-heating magnesium mask. The face is then moisturized with a hydrating lotion.

Glycolics repair damage from environmental pollution, visibly firm and improve the overall elasticity of the skin, provides hydration, reduces fine lines and brightens skin tone, and reduces dead epidermal cell build up on the surface of the skin.

30-Minute Glycolic includes cleansing, light extractions customized glycolic peel for your skin type and an ointment to soothe the skin.

60-Minute Glycolic - this treatment is loaded with vitamin C products! The skin is cleansed followed by a firming spritz. A glycolic acid is applied then gently removed. An antioxidant gel is massaged into the skin followed by a vitamin C masque treatment. To finish it off, a vitamin C soufflé' is applied leaving the skin plump, supple and glowing in appearance.

Chemical Peels help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and other signs of aging, help clarify the skin, smoothes out rough textures and improves the appearance of problem skin.

Jessners Peel - this is a more aggressive chemical peel. The skin is cleansed then a 30%-40% glycolic is applied. After the glycolic solution has been removed a toner is applied to remove any residue. The Jessners Peel is applied starting with one layer and may include as many as fourteen. The solution is then left on the face. After 4 to 8 days the skin will look renewed. The results can be dramatic.

Non-Resorcinol Peel - this peel is similar to the Jessners formula excluding resorcinol. This peel is safe to use on the entire body.

Skin Care Products/ Make-Up - a complete line of physician-approved skin care products and cosmetics are available for sale through our office. Our esthetician is available to answer questions about the products formulations and uses.

	Obagi Nu-Derm Skin Care System Many cosmetic products offer improved skin care, but only the Du-Derm system offers improved skin health. It uses prescription-strength ingredients that work at the cellular-level ... beyond the skin's surface. And only a physician can provide the types of products that restore skin health at a cellular level. The Nu-Derm System improves the function of three types of skin cells: Keratinocytes (cells on the skin's surface), Melanocytes (contain a pigment called melanin that gives skin its color), and Fibroblasts (produce support structures in skin called collagen and elastin that break down over time). Follow these steps to healthier skin: 1. Prepare skin for acceptance of prescription ingredients. Wash skin daily with gentle, soap-free cleanser and follow with pH neutralizing toner. 2. Correct areas of uneven pigmentation. Apply prescription skin bleaching cream and exfoliating cream. 3. Stimulate keratinocytes and fibroblasts and regulate melanocytes. Apply prescribed tretinoin and prescription skin bleaching cream. 4. Protect against further skin damage. Avoid sun exposure, apply SPF 24 physical sunblock and wear sun-protective clothing.
	Papaya & Mint Face & Body Scrub — non-irritating for all skin types — papaya removes dead skin cells — mint soothes and invigorates — jojoba beads effectively cleanse Imagine treating your skin to a day of pampering ... Maybe you'll go to a spa for special exfoliating treatment. The latest physical exfoliators aren't like the old-fashioned, abrasive types: instead, jojoba beads are used to gently and comfortably slough away the dead cells, allowing the skin's underlying glow to shine through. Then add to that a papaya enzyme treatment to unclog pores and increase skin clarity. Combine this with aromatherapy — mint — to freshen skin and invigorate the senses.
	Lipid Drops — An ideal pre-moisturizer — restores youthful skin texture — increases skin smoothness — increases skin hydration — decreases appearance of fine lines Clinical testing has shown that after just 14 days of twice a day use of Lipid Drops: Skin smoothness increases by 55% Skin hydration increases by 47% Appearance of fine lines decreases by 15% Both aging and environmental insults will lessen skin lipids. They are also removed from the skin surface when we exfoliate. Many popular skin care regimens include major exfoliation to improve the lackluster appearance of the dead cell layer. Although this is desireable, the lipid content, which is found between the dead cells of the outermost layer of the skin, is also stripped away. To optimize the appearance of our skin, these depleated substances must be replaced. An advanced scientific technique, called biofermentation, makes it possible to reproduce skin lipid. Our Lipid Drops are a combination of Sphingolipids, Ceramides and Cholesterol (which mimic the naturally occuring lipid components of our skin) blended into a quick absorbing, non-comedogenic serum. The amazing improvement in skin texture is actually seen after a single application and clinical testing has shown that improved texture continues for at least 6 hours.

And, although acne is a treatable problem, acne scars are a lot more difficult to resolve, and can last for years.
