Hydrodermabrasion "HydroPeel"

Dermaplaning removes dead skin and peach fuzz to reveal a smoother and more radiant complexion that enhances the effectiveness of following treatments. HydroPeel is a hydrodermabrasion treatment that deeply cleanses, exfoliates, extracts, and hydrates the skin, leaving it vibrant and refreshed.

HydroPeel is a gentle exfoliation process that hydrates and purifies pores with a gentle cleansing vortex suction and peel solution. It will leave your skin looking and feeling refreshed.

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is like giving your skin a highly intelligent flashlight. Scientifically speaking, it uses broad-spectrum light to target things like dark spots, redness, and even unwanted hair. The light is absorbed by those pesky troublemakers, breaking them down while encouraging your skin to regenerate.

Think of it this way: if your skin is a messy closet, IPL is Marie Kondo with a light beam, asking every brown spot and broken blood vessel, “Do you spark joy?” Spoiler: they don’t. ZAP—gone!

In simpler terms, IPL is like a VIP bouncer for your skin, showing only the uninvited guests (like pigmentation and redness) the door, leaving your skin brighter, smoother, and totally refreshed.

General Contraindications:

• Pregnancy or Breastfeeding: While IPL is considered non-invasive, it is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to limited safety studies.

• Active Skin Infections or Conditions: Conditions like cold sores, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, or active acne in the treatment area may worsen with IPL.

• Recent Sun Exposure or Tanning: Avoid IPL if you’ve had a recent tan (natural or artificial), as it increases the risk of burns, blisters, and hyper-pigmentation.

• Photo-sensitivity: Certain medications (e.g., antibiotics, Accutane, or retinoids) or medical conditions that cause light sensitivity make IPL unsafe.

• Medications. Avoid IPL if you’re using: Accutane (within the past 6 months). Blood thinners. Topical retinoids (should be stopped 1-2 weeks prior).

• Autoimmune Disorders: Conditions like lupus, scleroderma, or vitiligo may be exacerbated by IPL.

• Skin Cancer or Precancerous Lesions: Avoid treating areas with known or suspected malignancies.

• History of Keloids or Hypertrophic Scarring: IPL can stimulate scarring in individuals prone to keloid formation.

• Bleeding Disorders: Conditions like hemophilia or medications affecting clotting increase risks.

• Pacemaker or Other Implanted Devices: Some IPL devices may interfere with electronic implants.

Specific Area Contraindications:

• Tattooed Areas: IPL can damage tattoos or cause unintended side effects in areas with permanent makeup.

• Dark Skin Types (Fitzpatrick V-VI): Darker skin types have a higher risk of burns, pigmentation changes, and scarring.

• Recent Cosmetic Procedures: Avoid IPL for 2-4 weeks after chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or similar treatments.

• Eyebrows or Around the Eyes: IPL should never be used near the eyes due to the risk of eye damage.

Important Notes:

• A thorough consultation is key to identifying any risks based on medical history, skin type, and lifestyle.

• Adhering to pre-treatment preparation (avoiding sun, retinoids, etc.) and post-treatment care (using SPF, avoiding heat or harsh products) is crucial for minimizing complications.

• If any of these contraindications apply to you, your provider can recommend alternative treatments better suited to your skin concerns!

• Pregnancy or Breastfeeding: While the treatments are generally safe, they are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to limited research on safety during these stages.

• Active Skin Infections: Conditions like cold sores, eczema, psoriasis, or active acne in the treatment area can worsen with these treatments.

• Compromised Skin Barrier: Recently sunburned, overly sensitive, or damaged skin should not be treated.

• Medications: Use of blood thinners, Accutane (within the past 6 months), or steroids may increase risks.

• Autoimmune Disorders: Conditions like lupus or vitiligo may be exacerbated by laser or microneedling treatments.

• Recent Cosmetic Procedures: Avoid if you’ve had Botox, fillers, chemical peels, or other skin treatments within 2 weeks.

• Keloid or Hypertrophic Scarring History: Individuals prone to abnormal scarring may not be ideal candidates for microneedling.

• Pacemaker or Implantable Devices: Avoid laser treatments near the chest if you have electronic devices.

Photo-sensitivity: Avoid if you are on medications or have conditions that cause light sensitivity.

Tan or Recent Sun Exposure: Tanned skin increases the risk of burns or hyper-pigmentation.

• Active Acne or Rosacea: Microneedling can worsen these inflammatory conditions if they are not under control.

• Blood Disorders: Conditions like hemophilia or severe clotting disorders are contraindications.

• Skin Cancers or Precancerous Lesions: Avoid microneedling over areas with malignancy.

• Metal Allergies: Individuals allergic to surgical-grade stainless steel should inform their provider.

• A pre-treatment consultation is crucial to assess your medical history, skin type, and lifestyle habits.

Science Terms:

The Trifecta Fusion Photo Facial is a three-in-one advanced treatment combining dermaplaning, IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), and microneedling.

• Dermaplaning removes dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the surface, creating a smooth canvas and improving product penetration.

• IPL uses broad-spectrum light to target pigment, redness, and sun damage, breaking them down and stimulating collagen production.

• Microneedling uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering a wound-healing response that boosts collagen and elastin production.

• Together, these treatments exfoliate, rejuvenate, and repair the skin at multiple levels, delivering a radiant, even complexion with long-term benefits.

Basic Terms:

The Trifecta Fusion is like giving your skin the ultimate spa day and boot camp rolled into one. First, dermaplaning gets rid of your dead skin and peach fuzz—it’s basically a mini razor for your face, but one that makes your makeup go on like a dream. Next, IPL comes in as the skin’s superhero, zapping dark spots, redness, and sun damage like a super-smart flashlight. Finally, microneedling swoops in like your skin’s personal contractor, creating tiny holes to tell your face, “Hey, time to rebuild with more collagen!”

Think of it as spring cleaning, home repair, and a glow-up all happening in one session. Your skin won’t know what hit it—in the best way possible.

Why They Work So Well Together:

• Exfoliation + Absorption: Dermaplaning preps the skin by removing the outermost layer of dead cells and peach fuzz, allowing IPL and microneedling to penetrate more effectively. It’s like clearing the road before the heavy machinery rolls in.

• Targeting Multiple Layers: IPL works on the surface and slightly below, targeting pigment, redness, and vessels. Microneedling dives deeper, creating tiny injuries that boost collagen and elastin. Together, they cover all the bases for smoother, brighter, and firmer skin.

• Immediate & Long-Term Results: Dermaplaning gives you that instant glow. IPL targets surface issues for clearer, more even skin. Microneedling works on long-term improvement, building collagen over time.
