Microdermabrasion

Using the DiamondTome Skin Resurfacing System we offer microdermabrasion at a deep yet clinically controlled level, not found with many systems available at spas or salons.  It's regarded as a gentler skin resurfacing system which provides more dramatic results than other skin care systems.

Rejuvenate your skin with this "lunchtime peel". Microdermabrasion is successfully indicated for :
Cosmetic Laser and Cosmetic Laser Surgery - Skin Rejuvenation, Facial Cosmetic Surgery, Liposuction, Dermasurgery

Microdermabrasion is effective in reducing fine lines, "crow's feet," age spots, acne and other surface imperfections by superficially abrading the skin. It can also be used on the neck, upper chest and the backs of your hands to improve skin texture and minimize the effects of sun damage. A hand-held wand directs a stream of micro-crystals and suction to gently "polish" your skin, giving your complexion a health-looking glow. Each session takes from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the areas being treated. An initial series of weekly sessions often is recommended, followed by periodic maintenance treatments.

CHEMICAL PEELS

The Chemical Peel is a procedure which involves a chemical solution that is applied to the skin which causes a layer of skin to separate and peel off. The new, regenerated skin underneath is usually smoother in texture and more even in color than the old skin.  There are various strengths and concentrations of Chemical Peels each developed for  specific indications such as wrinkles, acne, overall skin texture and skin tone.  Some
chemical peels are mild and have no down time, others are stronger and have down time for up to one week.  The stronger chemical peels are deeper and remove thicker layers of skin which result in more significant improvement of skin texture and tone.    Chemical peels can be performed on the face, neck, chest, hands, arms, and legs.

Generally, no anesthesia is needed for peels since they cause only a slight stinging sensation during application. Protecting skin from the sun is important following a peel.

In a consultation with our doctors or our medical aesthetician, a treatment regimen is designed to identify the strength of the peel based on the condition of your skin and the desired result as well as available recovery time.

HYPERBARIC OXYGEN FACIAL
Does your face feel dry and tired with fine wrinkles?
Does it look dehydrated, lackluster and dull?  

A molecular weight hyaluronic acid that holds 1000 times of its weight in water is infused into the skin using topical hyperbaric oxygen technology.  This process supplements and plumps the skin surface and stimulates regeneration of new cells to visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. A series of six weekly treatments is recommended, but just one 30 minute treatment will help your skin look and feel nourished and hydrated.
