Dermasound

The use of ultrasonic waves to gently exfoliate and penetrate the much needed product into the deeper layers of the skin.

“The Dermasound Plus™ machine is a revolutionary technology that uses low-frequency ultrasound to loosen debris and dead cells from the skin’s surface, rebalance the skin cell’s natural electrical charge, and penetrate needed product into the deeper layers of the skin. It is great for any kind of skin type, but is ideal for sensitive or rosacea prone patients that can’t participate in abrasive exfoliation such as Microdermabrasion.”

Microdermabrasion

The use of crystals to polish the skin’s surface and simultaneously suction it away.  The vacuum effect helps cell and collagen production

“Almost everyone has heard of Microdermabrasion, and many claim they even have it in a jar. We offer a medical grade Microdermabrasion machine that resurfaces even the toughest skin. The crystals gently polish the skin’s surface and suction off the dead skin cells and debris. After a series of these amazing treatments, you will find diminished fine lines, lightened pigment, and smoother skin.”

It is a chemical solution that is applied to the face approximately 30 minutes.  Each individual reacts differently to a chemical peel.  Some will have peeling the very first day.  For others, the peeling may start on day 3 or 4.  Chemical peels are great to have in the fall and the winter here in Utah.  The reason for this is because when a client has a chemical peel done, it is critical that they stay out of the sun for at least 2 weeks.  After that, it is advised to keep sunscreen on at all times.  After having a chemical peel, your face will have all new and fresh skin.  It can burn easily and therefore is very important to stay out of the sun as much as possible.
