Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a treatment that has been offered for several years at our practice. It is an effective and simple form of mechanical exfoliation, in which aluminum oxide crystals are used to remove the outer layer of dead or damaged skin cells, revealing more youthful skin. Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive treatment designed to improve the overall texture, tone and clarity of the skin while restoring the skin’s elasticity. The repeated process of exfoliation stimulates an increased level of collagen and elastin, which improves your skin’s appearance. All skin types benefit from microdermabrasion, which can improve the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, chicken pox scars, brown spots, large pores and other skin imperfections.

While the crystal form of microdermabrasion offered at our practice remains the gold standard, the Megapeel EX Gold series device enables our aestheticians to perform crystal-free microdermabrasion with a diamond hand piece. This is well suited for sensitive, fragile skin because the exfoliation is less aggressive and more gentle. Our aestheticians will help guide you as to which microdermabrasion technique is most appropriate for your skin type.

The Trifecta Facial
The Trifecta Facial was designed by our physicians and aestheticians as a triple age defense treatment (Dermaplaning, microdermabrasion, vitamin C firming masque).

1. First, dermaplaning is done to remove unwanted hair and peach fuzz.
2. Second, microdermabrasion is performed to exfoliate dead skin cells and create new cell turnover, coupled with a 20% glycolic peel to lower the pH of the skin and tighten pores.
3. The treatment is finished with a vitamin C firming masque to combat effects of sun damage and reveal glowing, more youthful skin.

ThermiSmooth™

ThermiSmooth™ is a procedure performed by our licensed aestheticians at the Aesthetic Surgery Center, utilizing the ThermiRF™ Radiofrequency skin tightening technology. During a series of 4 weekly sessions, a temperature regulated probe is applied externally to the skin in order to heat the skin to the desired level (42-44°C). Heating of the skin to this temperature induces skin tightening by collagen contraction and remodeling, as well as long term stimulation of collagen production. Results are seen 2 to 12 months after the series of 4 treatments. The most commonly treated areas are the upper and lower eyelids to tighten the skin and improve fine lines, the mouth area to improve lip lines, and crepy skin along the neck. The Aesthetic Surgery Center is proud to be the first to offer this exciting new technology in the Naples, Fort Myers, and Marco Island area.

Permanent Makeup

What is Permanent makeup?

Permanent makeup is a cosmetic technique which deploys permanent pigmentation into the dermal layer of the skin (2nd layer). It produces designs that resemble makeup, such as eyeliner, fuller lips/lip liner, and your desired shape and fullness for eyebrows. With maintenance and proper home care, you can have natural looking makeup at all times.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ’s):

Micro Needling

What is Micro-Needling?

Micro-needling is a minimally invasive skin-rejuvenation procedure that involves the use of a device that contains fine needles. The needles are used to puncture the skin to create a controlled skin injury. Each puncture creates a channel that triggers the body to fill these microscopic wounds by producing new collagen and elastin. Through this process, there is improvement in skin texture and firmness, as well as reduction in scars, pore size, and stretch marks. Micro-needling is a safe, chemical-free method that triggers new collagen with advanced serums used with the process.

How many sessions will it take to see a difference?

• The number of needling sessions depends on the individual skin condition.
• Three or four treatments may be recommended for mild to moderate acne scarring, whereas deeper scars and stretch marks may require upward of five treatments.
• An interval of 3 to 4 weeks between treatments is typically recommended.
• After receiving desired results, maintenance is recommended once a year.

Why get professional micro-needling? (Machine based micro-needling by a licensed aesthetician vs. self applied derma roller at home)

• The fear of going too deep at home could cause more damage than good. Alternatively, treatment that is not deep enough will not achieve any results.
• Using the derma roller too often at home could prevent the skin cells from regenerating.
• If performed at home in an unsanitary area, this could result in infection and causing  more damage and possible scarring.
• Rollers create a V type hole (see image) where the needle goes in and comes out at an angle. This can lead to tearing and broader openings than necessary. The machine pens create a straight linear opening in the skin. There is less tearing with the machine and the goal of collagen stimulation is achieved without excess trauma to the skin.
