PCA OXYGENATING TREATMENTS

This therapy focuses on fighting the signs of aging and repairing the skin by combating against free radical damage. A PCA treatment consists of a plentiful amount of antioxidants that work to repair damage caused by various issues like sun damage, allergens, toxins, environmental factors and age. Ultimately, this heals and rejuvenates skin, leaving you with a healthy glow that will brighten any room you walk into. Prospective mothers and those who are breastfeeding may partake in a PCA oxygenating treatment as it utilizes oxygen to aid with normal metabolic processes.

CHEMICAL PEELS

Chemical peels are exfoliation treatments which smooth out the layers of the skin with the use of an acid or chemical. Chemical peels are often used in an effort to relieve blemishes and discoloration caused by the sun, acne, scarring or pregnancy. A chemical peel may also reduce some of the signs of aging. About You Aesthetics offers a variety of chemical peels ranging from light peels for sensitive skin to medium depth peels. Contact us today to schedule a free evaluation of your skin concerns.

Microneedling with PRP

Microneedling with PRP is a skin rejuvenating treatment that has become one of the trendiest and most-loved skin care treatments available. It utilizes a technique of microneedling with platelet-rich plasma or (PRP). It is minimally invasive with little to no down time. Typically, for one day you will have a redness to your skin, like a sunburn, but usually is gone by 90% 1 day after the procedure.

Microneedling with PRP is safe on every skin type and leaves skin looking younger more radiant and smoother almost immediately.

Microneedling with PRP stimulates the body’s organic growth factors which provides a natural healing and rejuvenation to the skin listed here:

Improved lines and wrinkles
Improved skin laxity
Helps repair sun-damaged skin (photo-aging)
Improves Acne scarring
Immediately improves the quality and texture of the skin
Gives skin a more supple, plump appearance.
Eliminates most blackheads almost immediately for approximately 3 to 4 weeks
Exfoliates the skin
Stretch mark reduction
Reduces discoloration & evens skin tone
Increases radiance and wipes away that dull tired-looking appearance

The procedure takes about 60 minutes, with 20 minutes of numbing time included is virtually painless. Microneedling with PRP treatments are best done in a series of 3 to 6 treatments.

MICRODERMABRASION

Microdermabrasion is a safe and effective skin treatment that creates a fresh, glowing, rejuvenated complexion. Our diamond tip microdermabrasion will comfortably buff away the outermost surface of the skin, improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, age spots, stretch marks, and acne. This procedure is gentle enough for almost any skin type and is often recommended during pregnancy and nursing.

In addition to microdermabrasion, About You Aesthetics offers Dermaplaning. Dermaplaning is a method of exfoliation that gently scrapes off the top layer of dead skin cells and facial hair in order to reveal a smoother and brighter complexion.

LASER TREATMENTS

Our laser treatments help to reduce the appearance of sunspots on your hands, chest and face and also reduce fine lines, wrinkles and other signs of aging. Patients have used laser treatments to pale scars, facial veins and even rosacea. Using our Candela Gentelase, GentleYag and Vbeam laser systems, patients of all skin types can find a treatment to restore their skin. We also offer laser tattoo removal once a month.

MICRONEEDLING

Microneedling is designed to stimulate the production of collagen and reduce the appearance of scars, stretch marks and wrinkles. This is a minimally invasive procedure that involves the use of a handheld device that contains fine needles, which can be adjusted between 0.5 to 2.5 millimeters to target your specific needs. The area is numbed prior to the procedure to prevent discomfort. Ultimately, this procedure tricks your body into believing it has been injured, causing it to send fibroblasts to create more collagen in the affected area.
