Winterize your skin: Chemically with Peels

04 Nov 2015 / 0 Comments / in Enhancements, Skin Care, Skin Care Tips, Uncategorized/by Kara McCarthy

Chemical Peels~ are some of the simplest and most effective treatments for achieving that radiant glowing skin. Not only can you expect smooth and clear skin from these treatments, but chemical peels can also help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Chemical peels work by ‘burning’ the top layer of the skin with an acid solution; this slowly removes dead skin cells and the outer layer of skin to reveal a softer and smoother layer underneath. With some many different variations of chemicals to choose from, such as  glycolic acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid, etc. The options for getting beautiful skin in a few short weeks is endless. If you’re looking for a dramatic ‘lift’ to your appearance without expensive surgery, chemical peels could be just what you’ve been looking for to get that youthful look back!

Here are some great benefits of chemical peels:

  • Reduction or removal of blotchy patches.
  • Eliminating sun damage and evening skin tone.
  • Acne management and scar reduction.
  • Improved collagen growth and smoother skin.
  • Better skin quality.

Here at Skinetics we offer many different peels~ Here are a few of our most popular………

DermaSweep™

Exfoliation, circulation, rejuvenation! The DermaSweep™ is an innovative particle-free skin revitalization system that uses bristles and vacuum for a more effective exfoliation, as well as circulation. After the dead skin is removed from the exfoliation process, the skin is then infused with a specific solution like Vitamin C or Salicylic Acid for total skin rejuvenation. Each treatment is customized depending on skin type and desired level of exfoliation. The DermaSweep™ treats early signs of aging, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, photo-damage, acne, acne scars, surgical scars and dehydrated skin.

Finally, Cryogenic Therapy is performed to help relieve inflammation and cool the skin.

MicroPeel Plus®

The MicroPeel Plus® is a fifteen-minute in-office procedure that will help smooth fine lines and even skin discoloration while reducing the appearance of acne scars and environmental damage to the skin.

State of skin or state of mind?

28 Oct 2013 / 0 Comments / in Enhancements, Skin Care, Skin Care Tips, Skin Conditions, Uncategorized/by Kara McCarthy

Most people judge a book by it’s cover and your skin is your cover. So, how do you care for it and how does it take care of you?  Being a sufferer of acne myself, I can only share what I experienced. I found that I either wanted to stay home more and I was never open to meeting new people. I felt safe with the people around me and meeting new people just brought the insecurities on stronger. I feel blessed that during this time, I was well into my career in Aesthetics and had the knowledge on how to really take care of my skin. I also feel it has given me the desire to want to help those who suffer from this disease.  Nearly 17 million people in the United States have acne, making it the most common skin disease.

When it comes to the largest organ in your body; do you allow it to dictate your state of mind? I know that I did. Just know that with advancements in the cosmetic industry today, help is right around the corner. We will discuss your current skin care regimen, diet and obtain a family history. Acne is more than skin deep and we want to assist you in getting to the bottom of it.

2012 Skin Resolutions:

26 Dec 2011 / 0 Comments / in Protection, Skin Care, Skin Care Tips, Uncategorized/by Kara McCarthy

2012 is here and so are yearly resolutions. We all have bad skin habits to break, so why not add some skin care resolutions? Below is a list of our top 5 bad habits to break for the New Year.

1. Stop touching your face

Trying to self treat blemishes or other imperfections on your face can mostly lead to making the problem worse. Stay away from facial extractors available in your local drugstore, and leave it to a professional.

2. Appointments

For healthy skin, be sure to keep monthly appointments with your aesthetician, dermatologist, or doctor. And don’t forget to make an appointment for a yearly mole check up!

3. Stop sleeping with your makeup on

Once you get in the habit of cleansing your skin before bedtime, it will become routine and your skin will thank you!

4. Sunscreen

Levels of SPF can be found in almost any beauty product these days, so there really aren’t any excuses on why you are skipping this life saving step.

5. Set your own skin care goals

Setting skin care goals can only lead to you fully achieving what you would like most for your skin. We all have them, we just need to stick with them and the results will truly be rewarding…a younger looking you!

Best wishes for the New Year and new improved you!

 

 

How to Decide Between an Aesthetician and a Dermatologist

15 Jun 2010 / 0 Comments / in Enhancements, Skin Care, Skin Conditions/by Kara McCarthy

Skin-care issues can range from minor to life threatening, and there are several types of professionals you can consult to ensure that your skin is cared for in the best possible manner to promote future health and wellness. Before making a call to your skin-care professional, however, you must first understand the difference between a dermatologist and an aesthetician.

Determining Whether to Consult an Aesthetician:

  1. While a dermatologist specializes in the cause and cure of skin afflictions, an aesthetician focuses on more superficial issues and discovering their causes. First, determine the nature and severity of your skin-care issues, and then consult with your Aesthetician in determining the most appropriate treatment for your specific condition.
  2. Next, understand the services offered by the aesthetician you will consult with. Some aestheticians practice independently or in conjunction with a physician.
  3. Finally, consult this short list of superficial skin afflictions, and if your own issue is on the list or is similar in nature to a list item, consulting an aesthetician may help lead to fast relief for your skin-care concerns.
  4. Superficial skin-care problems: minor to moderate acne; acne scarring; clogged pores; fine to medium lines; off-colored pigmentation; rosy cheeks; dry or rough skin; and the formation of wrinkles.

Determining Whether to Consult a Dermatologist:

  1. A dermatologist is a medical doctor whose specialty are skin-related issues. To determine the range of skin-care issues appropriate for your dermatologist, first become familiar with your dermatologist’s practice.
  2. Next, focus on your own skin-care problems, and determine their extent and severity before deciding to call your dermatologist.
  3. Finally, consult this short list of serious skin afflictions, and if your own issue is on the list or is similar in nature or severity to a list item, contact your dermatologist immediately.
  4. Serious skin-care problems: bleeding, persistent or painful acne; moles or freckles that change in color, size or shape; rashes that bleed, swell or fail to respond to over-the-counter medicines; lumps, bumps or protrusions under your skin; or open sores that do not heal after proper over-the-counter treatment.

Adult Acne: Segment 5

12 Jun 2010 / 0 Comments / in Skin Care, Skin Conditions/by Kara McCarthy

Medical Options for Acne Scarring

There are many options to choose from when treating acne. Depending upon how severe one’s acne is, treatments may vary from chemical peels, to laser treatments.

Chemical peels involve the application of a high potency acid upon the skin. The more potent the acid, the deeper the penetration into the skin. This treatment is more beneficial for those with skin discoloration, inflammation, and minor acne scars.

One of our many methods that has also been proven very effective for treating acne, and dramatically changing the texture of the skin is our DermaSweep treatment. DermaSweep™ is an innovative particle-free skin revitalization system that uses bristles and vacuum for a more effective exfoliation, as well as circulation. After the dead skin is removed from the exfoliation process, the skin is then infused with a specific solution like Vitamin C or Salicylic Acid for total skin rejuvenation. Each treatment is customized depending on skin type and desired level of exfoliation.

IPL and Fraxel laser treatments are the most popular treatments for helping with the removal of deep acne scarring. There are two general types of acne scarring; scars that are caused by tissue inflammation, and scars caused by tissue loss.

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) systems focus on tiny blood vessels within red scars and is very helpful for improving the color of scars. This treatment requires no downtime, and is very comfortable. Although it varies for each individual, a series of 4-6 treatments are recommended for best results.

Fraxel lasers are a revolutionized system to treat acne scars and is the world’s first Non-Ablative Resurfacing laser. On average, after a series of 3-5 treatments the appearance of acne scars and the texture of the skin is greatly improved. Minimal downtime can be expected from this procedure.

All of the above treatments are available at our office by our Aestheticians and Physician, Dr. Cary Nelson.
