Skin Peels
Skin peels improve the appearance of skin affected by sun damage, aging, acne, blotchy pigmentation, and
fine wrinkles. They will not improve sagging skin or deep wrinkles. Please schedule a consultation with an aesthetician before scheduling your
appointment to determine which peel is right for you. We offer the following types of peels.
Glycolic Peel
Glycolic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid used for superficial peeling. It causes skin cells to be
released and shed from the surface of the skin. These peels can be performed as often as once per week, depending on the strength of acid used. Great for fine lines and photoaging.
Beta Peel
Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid that is very effective for exfoliating and reducing oil
production in acne-prone skin. It is normal to experience a slight “tightening” of the skin and shedding of skin cells within 24 hours after the treatment.
Vitalize Peel
A unique formulation of mild acids that provides a slightly deeper peel at less frequent intervals. A
series of three to six Vitalize Peels is recommended at three-week intervals. Great for fine lines, photoaging, and hyperpigmentation.
Trichloracetic Peel
Trichloracetic acid, a time-honored peeling agent, can be used to peel the skin more deeply. Close
monitoring is necessary, and for that reason, it is not offered in non-medical salons.
Cook Total Body Peel
This peel combines glycolic and trichloracetic acids in a layering technique to achieve an even
greater depth of peeling. This process can be used on all parts of the body.
 BOTOX®
Dynamic wrinkles occur when facial muscles that attach to the skin contract. BOTOX® injections
block the nerve impulses within these muscles, resulting in dramatic softening of overlying wrinkles. Frown lines between the eyebrows, forehead creases,
and crow’s feet areas are common sites of treatment.
Collagen Implant Treatment
(Cosmoderm, Cosmoplast)
Collagen implantation is a safe, nonsurgical way
to improve the appearance of facial lines, wrinkles, and scars. Collagen treatment is also an effective method of lip enhancement. Results are
immediate, and most people can return to normal activities the same day as their treatment. Results usually last three to six months. No allergy testing required.
Restylane and Perlane Treatments
Restylane and Perlane are clear hyaluronic acid
gels that, like collagen treatment, can be used to fill in wrinkles and scars and to enhance the lips. No allergy testing is required prior to treatment,
and the results are significantly more long lasting than with collagen.
Juvéderm Ultra | Ultra Plus™
Juvéderm Ultra and Ultra Plus™ are FDA-approved hyaluronic acid gels that restores
volume and instantly smooths away facial wrinkles and folds. No allergy testing required.
Radiesse®
Radiesse® is a safe FDA-approved dermal filler that not only fills but volumizes and works with
your body to stimulate new collagen. It is made of tiny calcium-based microspheres suspended in a gel. It delivers a natural look that lasts, usually for 12-14 months.
Artefill®
Artefill® is the first and only FDA-approved non-resorbable wrinkle filler for the correction of
smile lines. The unique microspheres in Artefill® are not absorbed by the body and provide a permanent support structure for long-lasting
wrinkle correction. Artefill® contains bovine collagen and requires allergy testing.
Sculptra®
Sculptra® is a long-lasting FDA-approved injectable product that is intended to restore
facial volume loss. Sculptra® is not made from human or animal sources and does not require an allergy skin test. It usually last 2 or more years.
Microdermabrasion
 This procedure utilizes sodium bicarbonate crystals that are propelled at a high speed across the surface of the skin to exfoliate and stimulate blood
flow. This causes an enhancement of cell renewal and collagen growth. An excellent treatment for clogged pores and fine lines, microdermabrasion may be
performed as often as once a week.
Dual Resurfacing Facial Treatment
This treatment consists of mild microdermabrasion followed by a customized
gentle chemical peel. An excellent and effective light exfoliating treatment that will leave the skin glowing. It offers you the best of both worlds. Recommended for all skin types.
Four-Layer Facial
This treatment consists of cleansing, application of a 30% vitamin C enzyme, light extractions,
and then application of a gentle but highly active pharmaceutical-grade vitamin C, glycolic acid, and enzymes layered onto the face to exfoliate,
tighten, and speed up cell turnover, leaving the skin glowing and radiant. Recommended for all skin types.
Deep Pore Cleansing Facial
Deep pore cleansing, toning, enzyme exfoliation with steam therapy, extraction of impurities, and
treatment mask. We recommend treatment once every two weeks or until acne has cleared.
Clearlight®
The Clearlight system is a unique new therapeutic light that treats moderate
inflammatory acne. Acne Photoclearing (APC™) Technology is used to destroy the bacteria that cause acne. Clearlight treatments are relaxing, painless, and safe.
 GentleLASE® Hair Removal
A gentle beam of light passes through the skin to the hair follicle, where it is absorbed. The laser
energy is transformed into heat, destroying the hair follicle and leaving the surrounding skin unaffected. Dark hair in patients with light skin
color responds best. At least four treatments are necessary. Treatment time and cost will be discussed during your consultation.
Waxing Treatments
Brow waxing, lip waxing, and full face waxing are available.
Semi-Permanent Makeup
Semi-permanent makeup involves implantation of FDA-approved and allergy-tested mineral
extracts into the skin. It is used to recreate eyebrows, enhance your lash line and lip line, and conceal scars.
Tinting
 Skin Care Consultation
Facial and body treatments by a licensed aesthetician can be an important and
rewarding aspect of your skin care program. Following a thorough evaluation and discussion, an individual treatment program will be established to help you meet your personal goals.
Portrait PSR3
Portrait PSR3 is a new skin treatment designed to improve wrinkles, texture, tone, and discoloration
of the skin. This is accomplished by application of plasma energy (ionized nitrogen gas) to the skin. The outer layers of skin remain intact following
treatment and serve as a protective dressing until new skin regenerates.
Photodynamic Therapy
Photodynamic Therapy is the noninvasive application of a topical photosensitizing agent such as aminolevulinic acid (ALA) just prior to
use of the laser or light-based device. ALA is picked up by the rapidly dividing cells such as sebaceous (oil) glands and sun-damaged precancerous cells. This treatment is effective
for acne, actinic (precancerous) keratoses, and photodamaged (aged) skin, as well as other conditions. The number of treatments necessary
and treatment intervals will vary depending on the condition being treated.
IPL Photorejuvenation
(FotoFacial™ Treatment)
FotoFacial™ treatments consist of the noninvasive application of intense pulsed light (IPL) to the skin. Generally, five or more
treatments spaced approximately three weeks apart are required for best results. Unlike more invasive procedures, there is minimal down time,
so you may resume normal activities immediately. FotoFacial™/IPL treatments are effective for blotchy pigmentation, rosacea, flushing, redness,
and dilated blood vessels. The face, neck, chest, and arms may be treated.
Other Laser Treatments
Nonablative lasers such as the Aramis™ do not remove skin but pass through the epidermis to
stimulate collagen formation. After a series of treatments, a reduction in wrinkles and scarring can be achieved. We also offer laser treatments
to remove blood vessels on the face and legs, as well as tatoo removal.
