SkinVive® by JUVÉDERM® is the first FDA-approved injectable designed to improve skin smoothness and hydration—without changing your facial shape or adding volume.

SkinVive uses hyaluronic acid, a molecule that naturally attracts and holds moisture in the skin. Delivered in micro injections just beneath the surface, it helps support:
✨ Improved skin texture
✨ Increased hydration
✨ A healthy, radiant glow

Unlike traditional dermal fillers, SkinVive focuses on skin quality, not contour. Results develop gradually and look very natural—your skin, just more refreshed.

Treatment is quick, requires little downtime, and results can last up to 6 months.

The days are finally get longer! We're looking forward to getting more sunlight -- and applying sunscreen regularly 😎

Sunscreen is a key part of any good skincare routine. We always tell our clients not to skip this step, even on overcast days -- the sun's rays can still damage your skin, causing premature wrinkles, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation.

Untinted sunscreen can be used alone or under makeup. If you prefer a one-step product, tinted sunscreen can even out your natural complexion and replace the need for multiple products. No matter which one you choose, make sure to reapply every couple of hours if you're spending lots of time outside! ☀️

Botox improves appearance by relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles. This treatment can smooth fine lines and wrinkles in several areas of your face, including the forehead, eyes, neck, and more.

Here's a look at a past client who had their frown lines and forehead treated with Botox. These photos were taken about two weeks apart. We love to see these results!

What's the difference between an at-home peel and a medical-grade peel?

At-home peels contain lower concentrations of active ingredients and can be used to treat surface issues. This treatment is great for mild exfoliation and improved skin tone.

A medical-grade peel is administered and monitored in the clinic by a professional. This treatment is customizable and contains higher concentrations of active ingredients that targets issues in the skin's middle layers, like melasma, sun damage, acne and skin dullness. If you're looking for dramatic results, a medical-grade peel is the way to go!

Here's a great before-and-after photo of one of Sandra's laser hair removal clients!

This client recently came in for a 4th treatment on her face. She also had additional concerns about hyperpigmentation caused by wax burns. After a cycle of laser hair removal sessions with Sandra, her hyperpigmentation has subsided and her hair growth is minimal. She's so happy with the results and we're delighted to help our client regain her self-confidence!

Fun fact about laser hair removal: this treatment is safe and effective for a range of skin tones, including folks with darker skin. Our clinic uses the Cynosure Elite Plus Laser, which has a longer wavelength can pe*****te deeper into the skin, reducing the risk of side effects like hyperpigmentation.

Wondering about downtime and post-treatment care after a medical grade peel? Here's what to expect:

◆ Your skin might need a bit of extra TLC after your treatment. For the first 48 hours, avoid prescription retinoids, salicylic acid, AHAs or benzoyl peroxide and rinse your skin gently with water only as needed.
◆ Peeling and redness is normal for 3-5 days after your medical peel. The amount of peeling is based on the condition of your skin and is not an indication of the effectiveness of the treatment.
◆ Skip any vigorous activities and hot showers for at least 24 hours post-treatment to stay cool and avoid stressing your skin.
◆ Drink plenty of water and use a gentle facial moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated.
◆ Avoid direct sunlight and use sunscreen that provides broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection. Don't skip this step, even in the winter or on overcast days!

Wondering if a medical grade peel is right for you? A medical grade peel is an effective way to refresh, brighten, tighten and illuminate the appearance of the skin through chemical exfoliation. A peel is a great way to manage a variety of skin concerns, including:

✅ Dull, lackluster complexions
✅ Dry, dehydrated, or congested skin
✅ Fine lines and skin laxity
✅ Sun damage
✅ Melasma

However, a medical grade peel may not be right for people who:
❗ Have used Accutane in the last 6 months
❗ Have certain skin conditions or medications that make the skin more sensitive than normal
❗ Have active cold sores
❗ Will not be able to avoid sun exposure after the procedure
