Are you ready to indulge in some pampering that will result in your facial skin looking and feeling amazing? At Iconic Skin Clinic, we offer a variety of facial treatments that can help you relax and also love the way your skin looks and feels. You can see some before-and-after shots as well as book your services directly through our site. Now is the time for you to learn all about the various options available. Here are the details about some of them.
MICRONEEDLING
If you have wrinkles, age spots, acne scars, or other types of scarring, microneedling can encourage your body to regenerate the skin in those areas, resulting in a smoother appearance. The procedure is done with a small “pen” that makes microscopic piercings in the skin. Once it’s done, you will see fewer wrinkles and imperfections, and you’ll enjoy a smoother skin texture.
One of the top questions that people ask about microneedling is whether it hurts. Before the procedure, you’ll have a topical gel anesthetic applied, so any discomfort will be largely blunted by that. Also, remember that the needle goes in only a few layers; it will not puncture all of your skin. You might feel a bit of scratching, and it might feel stronger on your jawline, cheekbones, or forehead because those areas have less fat and tissue. Overall, though, the procedure is not painful.
After the microneedling is done, your skin might feel a bit dry and irritated for a day or two. That is normal and to be expected. You’ll receive some ointments to apply as needed; you should use them as instructed so you can hasten the healing process.
VI CHEMICAL PEELS
A Vitality Institute (VI) chemical peel can bring back the youthful elasticity and glow that you might have enjoyed years ago. There are also specialized formulas that are created to help with acne, hyperpigmentation, scarring, and other issues. Your clinician will help you decide which of the VI Peel formulas is right for you and your skin.
No matter which formula is being used, the process is the same. You’ll need to refrain from laser hair removal, waxing, and using various exfoliating products for several days or up to a week before your appointment. Your clinician will give you specific information depending on your circumstances. This is to allow the skin to heal and prepare for the peel.
During your appointment, your clinician will prep your skin with an abrasive scrub, then will apply the peel. You’ll follow your aftercare instructions, and you’ll likely notice some level of peeling over the coming days. Some people notice only a bit of flaking, while others see a lot of skin coming off. Regardless of the amount of skin you see coming off, once it’s all done peeling, you’ll enjoy softer skin with fewer imperfections.
In addition to the VI Chemical Peel, we also have other peels that might be right for you, including a Cosmelan peel for those with melasma, a DSE mask for those with acne, and a Bio C peel, which is quick, painless, and even safe for those who are pregnant.
DERMAPLANING
Dermaplaning is a type of exfoliation that might resemble shaving, as a blade is passed against the skin to remove dead skin cells and various debris. One advantage that dermaplaning has over chemical peels is that once it’s done, it’s done. You won’t have to worry about peeling afterward. Some people with sensitive skin might experience a few hours of pink, flushed facial skin, but that settles down quickly and you will be back to your normal tone soon.
The way it works is that you sit back and relax while your clinician uses a razor blade to carefully and safely remove peach fuzz and dead skin cells. Don’t worry; you won’t get cut! Your clinician is well-trained and can use the blade safely to avoid any type of injury. The procedure will reduce the appearance of your pores and make your skin look as close to perfect as possible in photos.
