Tools and Techniques Used in Facial Treatments
At Renew Skin Center, all treatments are tailored to your skin type and condition. We have a variety of modalities available to ensure your skin gets exactly what it needs. Don’t worry about having to choose! We always do an analysis of what’s going on with your skin to determine what we can do to design the best treatment to treat your concerns. And because our treatments are all inclusive, you will never have to pay extra for a certain modality!
Here’s an overview of the different modalities we offer at Renew Skin Center:
Enzymes: Gentle Refinement for All Skin Types
Enzymes exfoliate by digesting and breaking down excess dead skin buildup that causes a dull, lackluster appearance. They help improve skin texture, skin tone and congested pores.
Enzymes are an ideal alternative to mechanical or acid exfoliation which not all skin conditions are suited to. If and when a bigger boost is needed, they can easily be paired with an additional exfoliative modality.
Chemical Peels: Clean Slate
Chemical peels break down the intercellular adhesive that binds surface skin cells together. Common agents include lactic acid, glycolic acid, trichloroacetic acid (TCA), mandelic acid, salicylic acid, citric amongst others.
Chemical exfoliation loosens excess dead surface cells which then gradually (but more quickly than Mother Nature) slough away, leaving skin softer, smoother and brighter. They are an excellent treatment for acne, skin tone and texture, plus lines and wrinkles. Your licensed pro has an entire arsenal of stronger faster, better balanced exfoliant options than anything in a department store.
Dermaplaning: For a Pristine Facial Canvas
Using an extremely fine, single use surgical blade held at a 45 degree angle, skin is held taut as the blade is carefully swept along the face in fine strokes. This removes the top layer of the epidermis, leaving a satin smooth canvas behind.
Makeup glides on seamlessly, the process takes baby hairs along with excess cells, and active ingredients in your skin care regimen absorb more rapidly and more deeply giving you more benefit.
Completely non invasive, dermaplaning is painless, you will only feel the soothing sensation of the blade being drawn over your firmly held skin.
Phototherapy: Using Light to Create Visible Results
Phototherapy uses LEDs (light emitting diodes). LED is a low energy therapeutic light that can play a significant role in skin recovery. Carefully measured wavelengths energize cellular activity and stimulate responses in the skin. Different wavelengths of light stimulate different responses.
Blue LED is a therapeutic wavelength that has been shown to kill P. acnes bacteria that leads to breakouts, and help control oil sebum.
Green LED light therapy has been shown to help fade dark spots, brighten skin, and reduce redness.
Red LED stimulates fibroblasts which increase collagen and elastin
Microcurrent: The Invisible Face Lift
Microcurrent is the ultimate proven innovation in non invasive anti-aging therapy.
Microcurrent delivers a tiny, low level electrical current that mimics the body’s energy. This current stimulates collagen, elastin and the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is the fuel our cells run on. Microcurrent systematically reduces the signs of aging in 3 primary ways.
Boosting circulation and increasing skins own natural hydration production. By increasing circulation, muscles gain tone and skin sees a drastic uptick in color, function and resilience.
Re-educating the muscle. There are roughly 30 muscles in the face that may be relaxed or tightened – lengthened or contracted.
ATP is often referred to as ‘life’s energy’, the stockpile of which has a profound effect on muscle memory
Just like cardiovascular and weight training for the body’s muscles, freshly toned ‘mental muscle memory’ helps to rebuild the structure of facial muscle anatomy.
Besides improved muscle tone, microcurrent also improves product penetration, stimulates collagen and elastin production, and creates a smoother texture.
Ultrasonic Spatula: The Skin Scrubber
The ultrasonic spatula helps to achieve a squeaky clean, minus stripping precious natural oils and ceramides from healthy skin.
It works by vibrating at ultrasonic speeds that clean skin better, deeper and faster than hand cleansing alone. Active ingredients in masques and serums are penetrated more deeply, extractions exit pores more easily. Suitable for the most sensitive skin.
Rezenerate (Nano-needling): Serum Infusion for Smart Skin Rejuvenation
Rezenerate is a powerful new smart aging tool available only in spa that uses nano technology. The Rezenerate wand houses a unique tip topped with dozens of tiny silicon pyramids that create microscopic epidermal channels through which potent serums pass seamlessly. Also stimulates new skin growth and skin repair.
