Acqua Microdermabrasion and Peels

Microdermabrasion, a skin rejuvenating technique, is highly effective in repairing facial skin damage from the sun and the effects of aging. A fine sandblaster-like device that emits tiny crystals across the targeted area gently removes the dead, outer layer of skin, thus minimizing the appearance of age spots, acne scars, and crow’s feet. This skin care procedure may be combined with a chemical peel to achieve a healthy, more vibrant appearance.

Benefits of Microdermabrasion

  • Provides an overall healthy, rejuvenated glow
  • Non-surgical, effective, safe procedure with virtually no side effects
  • Requires no downtime
  • Excellent for use on patients with all skin types and colors

What You Should Know

  • Between five and 12 treatment sessions are recommended for optimum results
  • Periodic treatments after completion of regimen is recommended for maintenance

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels involve the use of exfoliating solutions such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHA), trichloroacetic acid (TCA), and phenol to remove imperfections by peeling away the top layer of the skin. Chemical peels vary depending on the type and concentration of the solution used and include superficial peels, medium peels, and deep peels – each of which offer different levels of results. Chemical peels are highly effective in diminishing lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, scars, and large pores.

Benefits of Chemical Peels

  • A single treatment may produce more radiant, velvety skin
  • Little to no downtime for superficial and medium chemical peels
  • Effects of deep or phenol chemical peels are dramatic and can last up to 20 years
  • Non-surgical, safe procedures

What You Should Know

  • AHA and TCA chemical peels may require multiple treatments
  • Phenol peels may pose the risk of complications such as scarring, hyperpigmentation, infection, or a bleaching effect
  • Pores may look larger after a phenol peel

MicroLaserPeel™

The MicroLaserPeel is an effective skin care solution that involves removing the outer layer of the skin with a precision laser. The procedure is used to correct wrinkles, scars, keratoses, or abnormal pigmentation to provide patients with smoother, healthier, more radiant skin. The MicroLaserPeel penetrates deeper into the skin than microdermabrasion, but is less invasive than deep chemical peels.

Benefits of MicroLaserPeel

  • Results are immediate and last from six to 12 months
  • Recovery time typically takes only two to four days
  • Significant improvement in skin texture and tightness

What You Should Know

  • Multiple treatments may be necessary for the best results
  • Minor sloughing, itchiness, and redness may occur following the treatment

Z-enzyme Peel

The Z-enzyme peel is a safe, effective natural skin care solution that contains the mucor miehei mushroom extract. This procedure works by breaking down dead skin layers one cell at a time to reveal healthier, more velvety skin. The Z-enzyme peel is a mild procedure that imitates the natural exfoliation process of the skin.

Benefits of the Z-enzyme Peel

  • The Z-enzyme peel is natural and doesn't’t contain any harsh acids=
  • No irritation, scaling, clumping, or discoloration of skin tissue
  • Can be used for all skin types

What You Should Know

  • The Z-enzyme peel works with the body’s natural PH
  • Results may not be as dramatic as with other chemical peels
