Facials and Peels to Reveal Perfection

The exact mechanism of action varies depending on which chemical is used. In general, however, chemical peeling involves applying a chemical substance to the skin that produces controlled damage to the epidermis, without affecting the underlying dermis. This damage triggers the body to produce collagen and elastin as part of its natural healing process.

• How to prepare for your chemical peel:
  • 1 – Don’t exfoliate your skin for at least one week before your treatment. Make sure you aren’t using any products with retinoids, retinols, or acids like AHA, BHA, or benzoyl peroxide. Using active ingredients before your chemical peel will increase your likelihood of irritation and redness. Instead, use a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen. 
  • 2 – Avoid tweezing, shaving, or waxing the skin for at least three days before your treatment.

The best chemical peels to stimulate collagen remodeling are trichloroacetic acid (TCA) peels. The reason TCA peels are the best deep chemical peels to stimulate collagen production is because they work deeply in the skin to treat hyperpigmentation and tone, as well as textural issues like acne scars, fine lines, and wrinkles.

The best chemical peels for acne and dark spots are glycolic acid and trichloroacetic acid (TCA) peels as they promote cell turnover, exfoliate clogged pores, and brighten dark spots left behind from acne blemishes.

Traditional glycolic peels are the gold standard for melasma treatments, as they are both effective and gentle. Lactic acid peels are also good options for those with sensitive skin, as they can help to restore the skin barrier while treating unwanted hyperpigmentation.

The pen-shaped device uses a Vortex of water and chemical exfoliants to scrape and remove any dead skin cells or unwanted debris from the pores. We then layer on serums and skin treatments that are custom-tailored to your skin concerns, such as acne, hyperpigmentation, redness, or dullness.

The diamond tip of the DiamondGlow device provides a controlled physical exfoliation, while high-powered suction removes dirt and debris from the skin’s pores. Once the device has polished away the exfoliated debris, it infuses a custom blend of hydrating and brightening serums into the pores.

• Both the Hydrafacial and DiamondGlow are exfoliating treatments that can be custom-tailored to address your unique skin concerns. 
• In general, the Hydrafacial is considered to be a more gentle treatment, focused on providing the skin with a noticeable glow through chemical exfoliation, while the DiamondGlow is a corrective treatment that uses physical exfoliation to address congestion and moderate skincare concerns. 
• If you want glowing skin for a big event, you’ll want to book the Hydrafacial. 
• If you want to deep-clean your skin as part of a broader treatment plan, you’ll want to book the DiamondGlow.

• How to prep for a Hydrafacial or DiamondGlow facial treatment:
  • Avoid sun exposure (including tanning beds) for at least one week before your treatment. Wear sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher daily. 
  • Avoid exfoliating for at least three days before your treatment. Make sure you aren’t using any products with retinoids, retinols, or acids like AHA, BHA, or benzoyl peroxide. Using active ingredients before your chemical peel will increase your likelihood of irritation and redness. Instead, use a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen. 
  • Avoid tweezing, shaving, or waxing the skin for at least three days before your treatment. 
  • Don’t wear makeup to your appointment.
