Microneedling is also called collagen induction therapy. It is essentially a minimally-invasive technique of facial rejuvenation that aims to exploit the healing effects of collagen on the skin. The microneedling process employs a device with fine needles to create controlled tissue damage. The injury to the skin tissues stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, two substances with powerful skin healing properties. The treatment has actually been around for many decades and dermatologists with the know-how have used it to provide solutions to their clients’ skin problems. The recent surge in popularity may be attributed to the availability of personal microneedling devices that can be used at home, and of course, the influence of social media.

The Sun Protection Factor (SPF) is a measure of how much radiation a sunscreen blocks. Broad spectrum sunscreens protect from both UVA and UVB.

While you sleep your body enters into repair mode: the brain recharges, important hormones are released, and cellular rejuvenation takes place. When it comes to our skin, blood flow increases, along with DNA repair, cell proliferation (cell turnover), temperature, barrier permeability, penetration, itching, and moisture loss, in addition to decreased barrier recovery. This makes our skin even more receptive to the absorption of the types of active ingredients found in skin treatment solutions, and is therefore the best time to nourish and cure our skin. A gel cream formula is especially effective as the skin experiences more trans-epidermal water loss at night. This consistency helps to replenish crucial hydration, complementing the body's natural fluctuations.

The Cool Glide laser hair removal technology effectively destroys the hair follicles without harming the surrounding skin. We ask you to shave the treatment area before your laser hair removal treatment to better target the hair follicles. The treated area may be a little red afterward, which typically goes away in a matter of hours. A good candidate for laser hair removal treatment is someone with pale to medium skin tone with light brown to dark hair. No laser hair removal or light based system can treat blonde, white, red or gray hair since there is not enough melamine in the hair follicle to absorb the light.
