Dermaplaning, Chemical Peel, Cryotherapy: SkinCeuticals Triple Treat

It all started with a phone call from someone who had moved from New York City asking if our office offered dermaplaning. I was aware of what it was and had even tried it on myself with the regular scalpel blade. Not a good idea! One of the main reasons the New Yorker and I were interested was for facial peach fuzz type hair. During the 1st step, the dermaplaning tool not only gently exfoliates but also removes this fine facial hair. The next step is to pick one of four chemical peels. These chemical peels are used to revitalize photo damaged skin, fade dark spots, improve skin tone and laxity, increase radiance, diminish fine lines, wrinkles and pore size. The peels vary by their active ingredients which include glycolic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, usmic acid, vitamin C and niacin. Our training and experience helps us pick the best for each patient’s skin issues.

The final and very popular step is the cryotherapy. This not only feels good but increases skin cell turnover and calms the skin by stimulating an anti-inflamatory response. With a series of cryotherapy treatments, the skin has a radiance which comes from smoother texture and increase cell turnover.

The bottom line: This gives us a new upgrade in the old and reliable chemical peel approach to advanced skin care.
