Phototherapy Mask

The phototherapy mask, also known as a blue light mask, is specifically designed to clear and prevent acne breakouts with no downtime and no pain.

Acne is caused by the bacteria Propoonibacterium, which can be killed through an interaction between intense blue wavelengths and porphyrins. This results in reduced inflammation, redness and clearer skin! The mask couples its blue wavelengths with infrared to reduce oil production and shrink the oil glands in the skin, further aiding in the prevention of acne.

Cortisone Shot

A cortisone injection is the fastest and most effective way to get rid of a bad breakout.

Cortisone shots are able to drastically reduce the appearance of acne within 48 hours, even in cases of cystic acne that can stick around under the skin for weeks if left untreated. Often topical treatments can’t penetrate deep enough in the pore to be effective against cystic breakouts. Have a big event and can’t afford a pimple? Cortisone is your emergency fix. Couple it with one of our laser genesis spot treatments or deep Excel V treatments to reduce redness and inflammation even faster.

Laser Genesis

Laser Genesis is a non-invasive laser treatment that utilizes the latest innovations in medical aesthetics to give you healthier, clearer skin.

Safe for all skin types, Genesis is ideal for treating imperfections such as acne scars, rosacea, uneven texture, fine lines, large pores and dark spots. The laser supports your skin's natural rejuvenation ability by heating the dermis with targeted light particles to stimulate new collagen production. This results in a more even complexion, and a younger, fresher overall appearance. It can take up to one month to see optimum results of the procedure, as the new cells reach the skin's surface and the collagen growth continues to increase.

Microneedling

Imagine using your skin's natural healing ability to fight wrinkles, reduce acne scarring and improve texture! Microneedling is a noninvasive practice that can benefit all skin types.

The treatment works through inflicting invisible, vertical microinjuries to the top layer of skin to stimulate your skins repair process and increase the production of collagen. The result is younger looking skin with more firmness and elasticity, all with little to no downtime involved. This treatment is effective in treating a wide range of concerns such as a loss in volume, acne, fine lines and wrinkles, and uneven skin tone, making it beneficial for patients of all ages.
