Back Facial


Hard-to-reach areas of our backs can make it difficult to give that skin the regular cleansing that it needs. Our Back Treatment is like a facial for your back! The difference is that the skin on your back is a lot tougher than the delicate skin on your face. Therefore, specially formulated products such as scrubs, exfoliating masks, essential oils, cleansers, and moisturizers are specially targeted for the area on your back. The deep cleansing unclogs pores and eliminates impurities and dead skin cells for a brighter and even skin tone.

PhotoFacial


The LED (light-emitting diode) uses a narrow spectrum light to boost collagen, which results in plumper, younger-looking skin. It can also be used to kill the bacteria that cause acne and improve Rosacea, scars, and hyperpigmentation (brown patches). LED photo facials are cool and painless, with no risk of burning. We generally recommend a series of up to six treatments for best results, with a week or two between treatments.

Microdermabrasion


There is absolutely no downtime with this non-invasive treatment that releases microscopic crystals on the surface of the face to remove the outermost layer of dry, dead skin to reveal new, glowing skin. Your skin will appear softer and brighter as brown spots and hyper-pigmentation fade. Because it increases circulation to your tissues, microdermabrasion also stimulates skin renewal and the uptake of nutrients into the skin. A series of treatments is usually recommended for maximum results.

Microneedling — $350.00



Medical-micro-needling is a technique whereby very fine needles are used to break down scar tissue and stimulate skin cells to increase production, thus forming new tissue layers of elastin and collagen fibers. New capillaries are also formed, which improves the blood supply to your face. At NuVo we combine micro-needling with infusing the skin with antioxidant products. Micro-needling can be used to treat: Fine lines and wrinkles, sagging skin, mild to moderate acne scarring, including both new or old scars, skin texture, and pore size.

Vitamin C Peel


Vitamin C is one of the best-known defenses against free radicals (such as pollution, sun rays, and cigarette smoke) that can cause your skin to lose elasticity and sag. Vitamin C works as an antioxidant to neutralize these free radicals by preventing them from oxidizing on your skin. This peel can also help anyone suffering from acne, as it deeply cleanses pores and provides an anti-bacterial action to prevent them from reappearing. The acid found in Vitamin C also works as a bleaching agent that can help restore imbalanced skin tone and help fade blemishes. This process is perfectly safe for all skin types and suitable for any age, with no recovery time like traditional peels. Most results can be seen after one session, but it’s advisable as with a beauty routine to maintain results with multiple treatments.

Microneedling by Potenza

Potenza delivers thermal energy to deeper tissue, causing tissue contraction. The energy/heat also triggers the body to produce collagen and elastin, which produces skin tightening through soft-tissue coagulation.

The Potenza RF microneedling system adds the element of radiofrequency energy to the traditional microneedling procedure. The RF energy is delivered via small needles. In addition to the benefits seen with the mirco-injury provided by the microneedles, RF microneedling also delivers RF energy deep into the dermis, further enhancing skin tightening through soft-tissue coagulation. The RF energy heats the underlying layers, causing constriction and tightening of the skin through soft-tissue coagulation, as well as causing the stimulation of collagen and elastin production. Because the RF energy is delivered so deeply, it can produce faster, more dramatic results.

    Potenza Pre-Treatment Guidelines:

    • Keep hydrated by drinking water (at least eight cups daily) or hydrating fluids to improve treatment outcomes.
    • Avoid drinking alcohol for 24 hours prior to your treatment.
    • For three to seven days prior to treatment, at physician’s discretion, avoid therapies that may cause erythema (redness) or irritation, such as retinols or products containing isotretinoin and any exfoliating acid preparations.
    • Shave visible hair from the treatment area.
    • Male beards should be shaved on the day of treatment.
    • The same procedure should be followed prior to each visit.

Microblading

Microblading is a technique using a super-fine pen (technically, a bundle of 12 to 15 needles) to deposit pigment into skin. The tip is so fine, in fact, that it can create hair strokes that look real. And the needles reach only into the superficial layers of the skin, which is what makes the method semi-permanent (versus permanent, like traditional cosmetic tattoos).

You’ll need a touch-up in about a month. Then, microblading can last anywhere from 12 months to three years, depending on your lifestyle. A few ways to extend it: Stay out of the sun since it can fade the pigment, and avoid putting exfoliants (like retinol and glycolic acid) near your brows because they’ll lift the top layers of your skin with continued use—and the color with it.

Facial Rejuvenation With Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

Our doctor will prep the skin with a topical numbing agent before beginning the microneedling. The plasma obtained from the blood sample with spread evenly over the open pores of the skin of the face. The nutrients from the plasma will help reduce rosacea, improve skin texture and tone, smooths wrinkles and fine lines, and stimulates collagen and elastin production for thinning skin. The healing process can take up to two weeks for the swelling and redness to subside.

Side Effects:

There are little to no side effects since we use your own platelets from your blood sample. There could be some irritation, pain, or bleeding around the injection site.

Recovery Time:

Pain relief in the injection sites typically starts to reduce within three to four weeks after your treatment. You should start to notice a difference in an appearance or improvement of symptoms within a period of three to six months following a single PRP injection.

Treatment Results:

Results are not guaranteed. However, one single PRP treatment may not be sufficient when trying to achieve certain treatment results. It is recommended to complete a series of 3 PRP treatments every four to six weeks for optimal treatment results.
