More Nourishing Creams
Combat dry skin by reinforcing the barrier with more nourishing creams. Giving more moisture back to your skin will not only eliminate dry spots, but will help fine lines and wrinkles, while fortifying your skin.
I’m partial to my Marine Miracle Cream, which brightens and evens skin tone, combats hyperpigmentation AND firms and hydrates with advanced peptides. Once you try this, you will never go back to your old cream.
Customized Treatment Plans Based on Skin Types
Personalized Skincare for Different Skin Types
Everyone’s skin is different, and it’s important to select treatments that suit your specific skin type and concerns. For those with oily or acne-prone skin, treatments like chemical peels or microneedling can help manage breakouts and reduce acne scars.
Tailored Treatments for Dry and Sensitive Skin
For dry skin, hydration-focused treatments like Hydrafacial or hyaluronic acid fillers work well to restore moisture and plumpness. Those with sensitive skin might benefit from less aggressive options such as non-ablative lasers or mild chemical peels, which minimize irritation while still improving texture and tone.
Anti-Aging and Pigmentation Treatments
Patients dealing with hyperpigmentation or melasma can opt for lightening treatments, including PicoSure laser or targeted creams containing ingredients like kojic acid. Meanwhile, individuals looking for anti-aging solutions may prefer Botox, fillers, or radio frequency microneedling to smooth wrinkles and tighten skin.
Laser Resurfacing and Non-Ablative Lasers
Non-Ablative vs. Ablative
Laser resurfacing is a powerful treatment that targets the outer layers of the skin to improve texture, tone, and reduce signs of aging. There are two types: ablative and non-ablative lasers. Ablative lasers remove the top layer of skin, while non-ablative lasers, like Fraxel or Clear + Brilliant, work beneath the surface without damaging the outer layer.
What It Treats
Non-ablative lasers are ideal for treating sun damage, fine lines, and uneven skin tone. They stimulate collagen production, which helps improve the skin’s overall appearance. These lasers are less aggressive than ablative options, meaning shorter recovery times and fewer side effects.
Recovery and Results
Patients often experience slight redness or sensitivity for a few days following the procedure. Results typically improve over several sessions, with full effects becoming visible after a few months.
Peels
You don’t have to be alone in your skincare! In‑office treatments with experienced professionals can take your skincare routine to the next level and give you amazing results you can’t achieve at home.
To start, chemical peels are a great foundation for getting your skin ready for the changing seasons!
By producing a controlled injury to the tissue, chemical peels speed up the growth of new skin. It’s one of the simplest and least invasive ways to improve the appearance of pores, texture, tone, pigment, sun damage, fine lines, acne, and more.
Four that I recommend for Fall are:
And ALL of these are offered at FACE!
Radio Frequency Microneedling
How It Works
Radio frequency microneedling combines two effective techniques: microneedling and radio frequency energy. Microneedling uses tiny needles to create small channels in the skin. This triggers the body’s natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production.
What It Treats
The addition of radio frequency energy helps tighten the skin and improve its texture. This treatment is often used to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars. It’s also great for improving skin firmness and reducing the appearance of pores.
Recovery and Results
Mild redness or swelling may occur after treatment, but these effects usually subside within 24-48 hours. This treatment has minimal downtime, making it a popular option for those looking to rejuvenate their skin without significant recovery time.
Fractional Ablative Lasers
Get into the laser game with fractional ablative lasers. These lasers resurface your skin by removing layers of damaged skin, while creating micro injuries to help rebuild collagen. They can also treat hyperpigmentation, fine and deep wrinkles, scars and skin lesions.
Three I recommend are:
And don’t forget to follow up your laser treatments with the lightener we talked about earlier and to stay out of the sun!
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Treatments
How PRP Works
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a natural treatment that uses the body’s own blood to rejuvenate the skin. During the procedure, a small amount of the patient’s blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from the rest of the blood. The concentrated platelets are then injected into the skin using techniques similar to microneedling.
What It Treats
PRP is known to boost collagen production, improve skin texture, and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars. It’s also popular for enhancing overall skin health and glow, making it a great option for patients looking for a natural solution to rejuvenate their skin.
Recovery and Results
Because the procedure uses the patient’s own blood, the risk of allergic reactions is minimal. Results develop gradually over a few weeks as the skin repairs and regenerates, with improvements lasting several months.
Injectables (Botox and Fillers)
Botox and Fillers for Wrinkles and Volume
Botox is an injectable treatment made from botulinum toxin. It relaxes muscles that cause wrinkles, particularly in areas like the forehead, around the eyes, and the mouth. By reducing muscle activity, it smooths out existing fine lines and helps prevent new ones from forming.
On the other hand, fillers like Restylane and Juvederm contain hyaluronic acid. These are used to restore volume in areas that may have lost their plumpness, such as the lips, cheeks, and under-eyes. Fillers can give a fuller, more youthful appearance to the face.
Both Botox and fillers are quick, minimally invasive treatments. Results from Botox usually last about 3-4 months, while fillers can last anywhere from 6-12 months, depending on the product and treatment area.
Common side effects include mild swelling or bruising, which generally go away in a few days. These treatments require little to no downtime, making them popular choices for those looking to refresh their appearance.
