Advanced Medical Facials
As you get older, it is impossible to avoid skin damage and visible signs of aging. Eventually, you will begin seeing changes in your skin when you look in the mirror. These changes can include fine lines and wrinkles, a dull complexion, rough areas, and sun damage.
We currently offer a variety of medical-grade facial peels as a way for men and women to treat these common skin concerns and restore the look of youthful skin. These facial treatments are some of the most advanced medical facials available and help rejuvenate your skin by renewing it on a cellular level.
Kerri will work with you to customize your facial based on your skin type and specific skin concerns.
ViPeel™
ViPeel is an incredible new type of facial peel that minimizes downtime and provides patients with results in just one week. The ViPeel can be customized for your unique skin type and to address specific skin concerns, such as sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles, poor skin tone or texture, hyperpigmentation, and even minor skin laxity.
The ViPeel Contains Several Key Ingredients, Including:
- Retinoic Acid to trigger the peeling of old skin, unclog your pores, and stimulate your skin’s production of collagen and elastin.
- Vitamin C to reduce sun damage and remove toxins from your skin.
- Hydroquinone to restore a glowing skin tone and improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation and melasma.
- Kojic Acid to treat discoloration and brighten your complexion.
- Hydrocortisone to minimize redness and irritation.
Kerri can safely perform the ViPeel in multiple areas of the face and body, including more difficult areas, such as around the eyes, neck, chest, and hands. After your ViPeel, your skin will look brighter, healthier, and more youthful. With little to no downtime, you can enjoy the benefits of a ViPeel without having to miss too much time from your regular schedule.
