Using skin care products in between facial appointments is essential for maintaining healthy and glowing skin🌟. Here are some tips on how to effectively use skin care products in between facial appointments:

1. Cleanse: Start your skincare routine by cleansing your face twice a day. Use a gentle cleanser that suits your skin type to remove dirt, oil, and impurities.

2. Exfoliate: Helps to remove dead skin cells and unclog pores, allowing your skin to absorb other skincare products better. Use a gentle exfoliator 2-3 times a week to avoid damaging your skin.

3. Tone: After cleansing, use a toner to balance your skin's pH levels and remove any remaining impurities. Toners also help to tighten pores and prepare your skin for better absorption of serums and moisturizers.

4. Treat: Depending on your skin concerns, use targeted treatments such as serums or spot treatments. These products contain active ingredients that address specific issues like acne, hyperpigmentation, or aging.

5. Moisturize: Hydrating your skin is crucial to maintain its moisture barrier and prevent dryness. Choose a moisturizer suitable for your skin type and apply it twice a day, morning and night. Moisturizers help to lock in moisture and keep your skin soft and supple.

6. Protect: During the day, it's important to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. ☀️Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 before going outside, even on cloudy days. Sunscreen helps prevent premature aging, sunburns, and skin damage caused by UV radiation.

7. Eye Care: Don't forget to take care of the delicate skin around your eyes👀. Use an eye cream or gel to moisturize and reduce the appearance of fine lines, dark circles, and puffiness.

8. Hydrate💦💧: Drinking enough water is essential for maintaining healthy skin. Stay hydrated by drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day. Hydration from within helps to flush out toxins and keep your skin plump and radiant.

Remember to choose skincare products that suit your skin type and concerns. If you're unsure, call today and we would be happy to give you some recommendations.

It’s peel season! 🍁🍂🍃

Chemical peels are a type of cosmetic treatment that involves applying a chemical solution to the skin to exfoliate and remove the outer layers. This process helps to improve the appearance of the skin by reducing wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation.

There are different types of chemical peels available, ranging from superficial peels to deep peels, depending on the specific needs and goals of the individual. Some of the special benefits of chemical peels include:

1. Skin rejuvenation: Chemical peels stimulate collagen production, which helps to improve the texture and elasticity of the skin. This can result in a more youthful and radiant appearance.

2. Acne treatment: Chemical peels can be effective in treating acne by unclogging pores, reducing inflammation, and removing dead skin cells. They can also help to fade acne scars and hyperpigmentation caused by acne.

3. Hyperpigmentation reduction: Chemical peels can lighten and even out skin tone by reducing the appearance of dark spots, sun damage, and melasma.

4. Wrinkle reduction: Chemical peels can help to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by promoting cell turnover and stimulating collagen production.

5. Improved skin texture: Chemical peels can smooth out rough skin texture, reduce the appearance of large pores, and improve overall skin tone and clarity.

6. Minimal downtime: Depending on the type and depth of the peel, there may be some downtime involved, but it is generally minimal compared to other cosmetic procedures. Superficial peels typically have little to no downtime, while deeper peels may require a few days of recovery.

It is important to note that chemical peels should be performed by a trained and experienced professional to ensure safety and optimal results. The specific type and strength of the peel will be determined based on individual skin type and concerns.

What is radio frequency (RF) skin tightening?

Radio frequency (RF) skin tightening is a nonsurgical skin treatment to firm sagging skin. The procedure can give you a more youthful appearance.

This type of nonsurgical facelift works on all sexes and skin tones. And there’s very little risk of skin discoloration (hyperpigmentation). It’s most effective on younger people who are just starting to show signs of aging. It’s not as effective on severely sagging skin.

Who gets radio frequency (RF) skin tightening?

People who don’t want the extra expense, pain or recovery time of cosmetic surgeries may choose radio frequency skin tightening. The procedure:
• Improves skin tone, texture and firmness.
• Minimizes the appearance of sun damage.
• Provides a more youthful appearance.
• Reduces the effects of aging skin like wrinkles, fine lines and saggy skin.
• Body Contouring (Face, Neck, Abdomen, Arms & Legs)

How long does radio frequency skin tightening take to work?
It takes time for your skin to produce new skin cells, collagen and elastin. You should see changes to your skin tone and appearance within two to six months. If you don’t get the desired results, your provider may recommend another treatment. Most people need 5 to 6 treatments.

How long does radio frequency skin tightening last?

Your skin is always aging. But with proper skin care, the effects of radio frequency skin tightening may last for one to three years.

Dermaplaning is a cosmetic procedure that involves using a scalpel to gently scrape off the top layer of dead skin cells and fine facial hair. The results of dermaplaning can vary from person to person, but some common benefits and outcomes include:

1. Smoother and softer skin: Dermaplaning helps to exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells and revealing a smoother and softer complexion.

2. Improved skin texture: By removing the top layer of dead skin cells, dermaplaning can help to improve the overall texture of the skin, making it appear more even and refined.

3. Enhanced product absorption: After dermaplaning, skincare products can pe*****te the skin more effectively, as there are no longer any barriers of dead skin cells and peach fuzz.

4. Brighter complexion: Dermaplaning can help to brighten the skin by removing dull and dead skin cells, allowing the fresh and healthy skin underneath to shine through.

5. Temporary hair removal: Dermaplaning also removes fine facial hair, commonly known as peach fuzz. This can give the skin a smoother appearance and make makeup application easier.

6. Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles: Dermaplaning can help to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by exfoliating the skin and stimulating collagen production.

Dermaplaning can be done at any time of the year, including during the fall season. However, it is important to note that after dermaplaning, the skin may be more sensitive to sun exposure. Therefore, it is crucial to protect your skin from the sun's harmful rays by wearing sunscreen and avoiding prolonged sun exposure, regardless of the season. Additionally, during the fall, the weather may become drier, so it is important to keep the skin hydrated and moisturized after dermaplaning. This can help maintain the results and prevent any potential dryness or irritation. It is important to note that dermaplaning is a temporary solution and the results typically last for a few weeks. Regular treatments are recommended to maintain the desired results.
