Damage to the skin happens at the cellular and microscopic level. Every person will age at a different rate depending on genetics, exposure to UV rays, stress, exposure to pollutants, and poor nutrition. Aging is inevitable, so it is important to know what to use for anti-aging treatments. To keep your skin healthy and reduce the signs of aging, ensure that your diet is nutritious with plenty of fruits and vegetables, and drink at least 8 glasses of water each day. Your diet should also be high in antioxidants either through food or through supplements. Reducing fat and sugar intake is also helpful. Smoking and sun exposure ages the skin quickly - so try to avoid both. All of these tips are important; however, there are many treatments to consider to roll back the signs of aging.  

Rejuvenate your skin quickly and comfortably with our MiXto SX Laser...

Micro-Fractional Skin Rejuvenation  is the HOTTEST anti-aging procedure being performed throughout the country.  The MiXto SX Fractional CO2 Laser is a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser that was invented in Italy.  It is used to remove small areas of the upper layers of the skin revealing healthier and younger looking skin.  This clinically proven procedure is most commonly used to minimize the appearance of fine lines (wrinkles), especially around the mouth and the eyes.  It is also effective in treating facial scars and areas of uneven pigmentation due to sun damage.  Micro-Fractional Skin Rejuvenation may be performed anywhere on the face, neck, chest, arms and hands.

Micro-Fractional Skin Rejuvenation is a NEW procedure that provides outstanding clinical results!   Laura Miller, N.M.D. applies laser energy to tissue utilizing a very sophisticated scanning device that provides precise and uniform coverage.  A full-face treatment can be performed in approximately 45 minutes.  Post-treatment care is simple and most patients return to normal activity in less than 5 days.  And, due to the fact that the MiXto SX Laser causes collegen to regenerate, improvement in your skin will be long-lasting.

The MiXto SX CO2 Laser treatment exfoiliates the skin, improving the tone and texture while removing age spots, wrinkles and acne scars.  The laser procedure is equivelant to about 15 microdermabrasion sessions.

What is Microdermabrasion?

procedure-microderm.jpgMicrodermabrasion is a way to exfoliate the upper layers of the skin. It is like "sand blasting" the skin using tiny crystals in a self contained unit.  Our highly trained aestheticians apply these tiny crystals to your skin with a special machine that immediately removes the crystals from the surface of skin.  This helps exfoliate the top layer of your skin, revealing younger, healthier looking skin.

When these crystals interact with the skin, they help remove the dead skin cells that are on the top layer of your skin.  Microdermabrasion is safe for all skin types.  In fact, we even carry a special crystal that is safe for our pregnant clients.  This is a treatment that provides advanced care for skin that is sun damaged, acne scarred, has fine lines, or is coarse.

Why do you want to exfoliate your skin?

Your skin is constantly renewing, and as we get older, this process gets slower.  With an older layers of skin on top, you have a dull and aged appearance.  Exfoliating your skin and gently removing that layer of dead skin cells allows fresher skin to be exposed, which gives you that "glow" or healthier appearance. There are many ways to exfoliate your skin, microdermabrasion being one of them.

While you can do mild exfoliation at home with gentle scrubs or with chemical enzymes, you can opt to come into our office for a deep exfoliation.  As with any procedure like this, be sure to use your sunscreen regularly, so that your newly exposed skin doesn't become damaged. Our aesthetician or physician can recommend the right sunscreen for you.

Exfoliation is an excellent way to freshen up your look.  Your skin will have a radiant glow, along with a smoother surface for make-up application.  If you've been thinking your skin is looking a bit dull or rough lately, maybe it's time to try Microdermabrasion. It's amazing what a difference exfoliation makes.
