For as long as we humans have cared about their appearance, we have sought all sorts of facial treatments to make our skin look younger, more beautiful, and healthier. Of course, not all these treatments worked, and some – like using leeches for bloodletting – were downright bizarre. Thankfully, we have come a long way in the past several centuries, and even further in the past decade or two. The result is an array of modern alternatives for facial treatments that leave the skin looking and feeling healthier than ever without the need for strange, painful, and ineffective procedures.
At Skintherapy, we provide our patients with a collection of facial treatments ranging from lasers and light therapy to hydrating facials and ultrasound energy. Our facial treatments are designed to treat a wide range of skin conditions, diseases, and imperfections, such as fine lines and wrinkles, acne lesions, scarring, hyperpigmentation and sun damage, enlarged pores, rosacea, and stretch marks. All Skintherapy facial treatments are non-surgical and are specifically tailored to the individual’s needs. This translates to amazing results with less downtime than other, more-invasive treatment options.
Here is a breakdown of our revolutionary facial treatments and how each can benefit your needs and boost your current skin care regimen.
HydroFacials
The HydroFacial is a water-based dermabrasion procedure that combines vortex and exfoliation technology to cleanse, hydrate, and extract debris from deep within pores, while also providing antioxidant protection. The use of topical serums with the HydroFacial device provides additional health benefits and can be used to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, acne, congested and enlarged pores, brown spots, and hyperpigmentation.
PhotoFacials
Also known as Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), PhotoFacials employ the use of light therapy technology to target specific areas of the skin and provide safe and effective facial treatment. This procedure is best for patients dealing with excessive skin redness, pigmented skin, and enlarged pores. PhotoFacial treatments are performed in a series, with each session lasting only 20 to 30 minutes.
Intraceuticals Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatments
Intraceuticals uses the natural wound-healing properties of oxygen to deliver anti-aging results to patients with acne scarring, rosacea, and stretch marks. Like HydroFacials, Intraceuticals Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatments can be used with other topical agents to improve skin health. These agents include antioxidants, green tea, and vitamins A, C, and E, and go a long way in supporting other treatment options.
Laser Genesis
This laser treatment is a non-invasive procedure that mimics the results of more costly and aggressive procedures without the pain or downtime. The applications for Laser Genesis are wide-reaching, and can improve skin tone and texture as well as treat enlarged pores, rosacea, wrinkling, and scarring.
Ultherapy
The ultrasound technology of Ultherapy reaches deep within the skin to promote the growth of collagen, a naturally occurring protein responsible for the structure and vitality of the skin. As new collagen is produced, the appearance of lines and wrinkles is improved significantly.
