CHEMICAL PEELS

PCA SKIN from Arizona is recognized in medical fields as the originator of the modified and advanced Jessner’s  Chemical  Peel formulations.  Unlike a single glycolic peel, PCA Peels self neutralize which allows your skin a more stable and accurate result.  They are applied in multiple layers based upon the needs of the clients skin condition.  The number of layers and treatments is determined by the skin type, thickness, sensitivity, overall condition.

PCA consistently applies innovation and scientific research in the development of effective professional treatments.  The synergisitic effect of their ingredients provides corrective and nutrient benefits while exfoliating the surface of the skin to help minimize fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and evens skin tone.  The frequency of peels is approximately every 21 days then can be done once a month for maintenance.  Your peel choice or selection will change accordingly, as your skin changes on a daily basis  a  program will be put together that would best suit you.

Understanding that the complex and intricate functions and reactions that chemicals can have on the skin is what is truly important.  The formulations,  along with the active ingredients is what sets PCA apart.  Your goal is to produce a healthy and beautiful skin, and above all else cause no harm! A  professional  treatment  along with a thorough home care program is essential to achieve RESULTS.

CRYO    PRACTICAL APPLICATION

Cryo therapy is broadly defined as the controlled destruction of unwanted tissue by the precise application of extreme cold during clinical procedures, normal and diseased cells will not survive after being subjected to freezing to minus (-) 17f:   intracellar fluid ice crystals rupturing the cell membrane, protein destruction and direct thermal shock.  A blister is quite common.

 

        Effects of Application:

        Following cryotherapy, edema develops within 30 minutes and usually lasts for 3 to 14 days post treatment.  Subsequent healing is gradual and will be apparent in 3 -4 weeks.  Complete healing is about 6 weeks.

NOTE:  in some cases a second freeze or session will improve results dramatically.

-believed to be genetically caused and common on face, neck or ankles with age

 

SEBACEOUS HYPERPLASIA                                                                    (PHOTO)

LED Photo Facials

BLUE /RED    LIGHT THERAPY

With clinical results and achieving a high standard of awareness the   “KINELIFT” Red light is specifically designed to stimulate the skin’s own renewal process.  Its double stimulation has impact on the epidermis and dermis by stimulating collagen by 5 fold and also activates the production of ATP (adrenosine triphosphate) a major carrier of energy in the cell and its release allows for faster acceptance of nutrients in the cell and removal of toxins when stimulated by phototherapy. A series of treatments will reduce the appearance of fine lines and help reverse many of the signs of ageing.  A non-invasive, non-laser light that requires no recovery time.  Developed by NASA and research by a medical research company as a non-surgical light therapy.  The precise wavelength and frequency of the red light emitted by thousands of LED’s (light emitting diodes), helps the skin’s own defense mechanisms reverse some of the signs and symptoms of aging such as uneven skin tone, fine lines and wrinkles. 

Blue light “PURELIGHT” that helps stabilize blemished, acne prone skin, recent acne scars and to soothe and calm irritations.  The P. Acne bacteria is killed and reduces inflammation preventing sebum from being overproduced can also reduce redness associated with some products.  The LED treatment can be paired with a skin treatment where we will work on your skin after the light, or it can be experienced on its own, where you simply have the light work on you for about 25 minutes per color.  We recommend a series of 6 sessions to see long-lasting results.   The length of time required depends on the results and condition of the skin to begin with along with your home care routine and health conditions.              1.5 hrs      $175.00

 

MICRODERMABRATION    

example of how microdermabrasion works

Microdermabrasion treatment

If you are unhappy with age spots, acne scars, enlarged or clogged pores, fine line, wrinkles or flaking skin.  You should consider Microdermabrasion.  Micro has been in Europe for years and is truly gaining popularity in North America due to the results being achieved.  Removing the outer layers of dead skin cells, revealing the fresher, younger cells beneath.  Regardless of your skins conditions, results will be seen immediately.  The results are progressive and cumulative.  The treatment feels like a “superficial skin polishing”.  Following the abrasion we will treat your skin with specially formulated creams that further soften and moisturize your skin, finishing with a treatment masque to help rejuvenate those new cells that will be coming to the surface.

During the treatment, a stream of pharmaceutical grade corendulum crystals exfoliate and gently resurface superficial skin layers and triggers the skin’s repair mechanism.  Your dermis will form new collagen and elastin fibers and become thicker and more functional.  Your corneum layer (surface) is thinned to reveal a beautiful glowing skin.  Keep in mind that your epidermis collects harmful environmental elements.  By carefully and uniformly removing this layer of dead, impacted cells, the skin’s surface is refined and smoothed out.  After each session you will notice an increasingly healthy appearance with your skin feeling soft, smooth and refreshed.  Approximately 30% of your epidermis is removed resulting in a better complexion. Chemical Peels, LED, Microcurrent, Cryo Therapy or Radio and High Frequency applications can also be added.
