MICRODERMABRASION AND CHEMICAL PEELS

Using the DiamondTome Skin Resurfacing System we offer microdermabrasion at a
deep yet clinically controlled level, not found with many systems available at spas or
salons.  It's regarded as a gentler skin resurfacing system which provides more
dramatic results than other skin care systems.

overall health and appearance of their skin:

•    Rejuvenates sun damaged skin - face, neck, shoulders, back, arms and legs

For people on the go, a series of 3 to 6 exfoliation treatments offers exceptional
benefits. Ideal for a special event or as a program for overall skin rejuvenation, this
treatment is non-invasive, painless and requires no downtime from work or social
activities. Normal activities may be resumed within one day after treatment. Your skin
is free of redness, irritation and particle contamination within 24 hours.

CHEMICAL PEELS

The Chemical Peel is a procedure which involves a chemical solution that is applied
to the skin which causes a layer of skin to separate and peel off. The new, regenerated
skin underneath is usually smoother in texture and more even in color than the old skin.
There are various strengths and concentrations of Chemical Peels each developed for
specific indications such as wrinkles, acne, overall skin texture and skin tone.  Some
chemical peels are mild and have no down time, others are stronger and have down
time for up to one week.  The stronger chemical peels are deeper and remove thicker
layers of skin which result in more significant improvement of skin texture and tone.   
Chemical peels can be performed on the face, neck, chest, hands, arms, and legs.

Benefits and Visible results of Chemical Peels

•     Correct uneven skin pigmentation
•     Texture becomes more refined   
•     Fine lines and wrinkles become less apparent
•     Oily or acne-prone skin is improved
•     Enlarged pores appear smaller
•     Superficial scars appear reduced
•     Skin appears healthier, more youthful and radiant

Generally, no anesthesia is needed for peels since they cause only a slight stinging sensation during application.
Protecting skin from the sun is important following a peel.

In a consultation with Dr. Rubinstein or our medical aesthetician, a treatment regimen is designed to identify the
strength of the peel based on the condition of your skin and the desired result as well as available recovery time.


B-LIFTx

Indication:                          Acne Prone Skin
Recommended Series:  3 B-LIFTx Peels, then once every 6-8 months for maintenance
Downtime:                         Minimal, 2 days of light to medium peeling

B-LIFTx is an innovative formulation of beta hydroxyl acid created by the inventor of Retin-A. The B-LIFTx action is
enhanced by an important technological advancement, the MICROSPONGE. This technology allows B-LIFTx to
reach into and affect very fine lines and small surface imperfections.  B-LIFTx lifts dead, dull cells off the surface of
your skin. The procedure stimulates a “burst of renewal” within your skin to bring healthy, young, living cells to the
surface. This advanced medical strength skin renewal treatment is only offered only by dermatologists.  


Vitalize Peel

Indication:                          Uneven skin tone and texture, tired looking skin
Recommended Series:  2-3 Vitalize Peels, 4-6 weeks apart; then once every 6-8 months for maintenance
Downtime:                         Medium, 2-3 days of medium to heavy peeling beginning 2 days after the procedure

The VITALIZE Peel from SkinMedica brings the benefit of alpha-hydroxy and retinoic acids in a unique blend to
create one of the strongest, but safest and most gentle peels. Even after one peel you will begin to notice a dramatic
improvement in your skin’s texture and tone, lessening of superficial lines and a healthier, more youthful look and
feel. The renewal process has been clinically proven to help pigmentation problems (such as age spots) fade and
stimulate collagen production in the cells underneath. The VITALIZE Peel is safe and gentle for all skin types.


ALPHAHYDROXY ACIDS (AHAs)

Indication:                          Uneven skin tone and texture, tired looking skin
Recommended Series:  2-3 AHA Peels, 4-6 weeks apart; then once every 6-8 months for maintenance
Downtime:                         Mild to High, depending on the strength of the peel.

Alphahydroxy acids (AHAs) such as glycolic, lactic, or fruit acids range from the mildest of the peel formulas to
higher strengths and produce peels that can provide smoother, brighter-looking skin.  The strength of the peel is
based on your desired results, the condition of your skin and available recovery time.  A consultation with Dr.
Rubinstein or our aesthetician helps define your goals.


TRICHLORACETIC ACID (TCA)

Indication:                          Uneven skin tone and texture, fine lines and wrinkles, pigmentation problems
Recommended Series:  One (physician performed) peel
Downtime:                         5 days of intense peeling, plan for 1 full week of down time. Plus no sun exposure for 3
weeks, and 3 months limited sun exposure.

This deep peel, causes a substantial layer of skin to separate and peel off.  The new, regenerated skin underneath
is usually smoother, less wrinkled, and more even in color than the old skin.
The best candidates for TCA peels are patients with wrinkles, deep pigmentation such as melasma and acne
scars.  TCA peels yield a high satisfaction rate and are excellent for patients seeking a substantial improvement in
skin texture and color.  Patients should plan on one full week of recovery and avoid sun exposure for several
months.  This peel may have some adverse effects associated with its deep penetration, therefore it is always
performed by a physician.  All possible adverse effects are thoroughly discussed with the patient prior to the
procedure.

NEW! HYPERBARIC OXYGEN FACIAL
Does your face feel dry and tired with fine wrinkles?
Does it look dehydrated, lackluster and dull?  

A molecular weight hyaluronic acid that holds 1000 times of its weight in water is infused into the skin using topical
hyperbaric oxygen technology.  This process supplements and plumps the skin surface and stimulates
regeneration of new cells to visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. A series of six weekly
treatments is recommended, but just one 30 minute treatment will help your skin look and feel nourished and
hydrated. This celebrity endorsed O2 Facial is great before parties or photo shoots.
