What skin concerns can medical skin treatments address?

Our skin treatments address a wide range of concerns including acne and breakouts, acne scarring, uneven texture, hyperpigmentation, dullness, fine lines, enlarged pores, and overall skin health. During your consultation, your provider will assess your skin and recommend the most effective treatment approach.

What is the difference between a medical facial and a spa facial?

Medical facials use clinical-strength products and techniques that penetrate deeper into the skin than standard spa treatments. They are performed by licensed medical professionals who can use higher concentrations of active ingredients, prescription-strength products, and advanced devices. Results are typically more dramatic and longer-lasting.

How often should I get skin treatments?

Treatment frequency depends on the specific service. Facials and peels are often recommended every 4 to 6 weeks to align with your skin's natural renewal cycle. Micro-needling sessions are typically spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Your provider will create a treatment schedule based on your skin goals and the services selected.

Is there downtime after skin treatments?

Most skin treatments have minimal downtime. HydraFacials and nano needling have zero downtime. Chemical peels may involve 2 to 5 days of light flaking depending on depth. Micro-needling typically causes 1 to 3 days of redness. Cortisone shots for acne work within 24 to 48 hours with no visible downtime.

Can I combine skin treatments with laser or injectable services?

Absolutely. Many patients get the best results from a combined approach. For example, micro-needling pairs well with PRP therapy, and chemical peels can complement laser treatments when properly sequenced. Your provider will design a safe treatment plan that combines services for optimal results.
