Chemical Peels
Chemical peels remove the dull, damaged outer layers of the epidermis, revealing healthier skin below. This tissue becomes tighter and firmer, with fewer wrinkles and a more even complexion.
Controlled damage to the skin stimulates the body’s natural healing process, promoting the production of collagen and elastin. These two proteins provide the skin strength, structure, and elasticity, and yield a more youthful appearance.
We offer three strengths of chemical peels from AlumierMD. During your consultation, a Dogwood Face & Body expert assesses your skin and determines which peel is right for you.
- Radiant 30: Our lightest peel, Radiant 30 utilizes lactic acid to refine rough and dull skin to improve skin texture, hydration levels, and luminosity. Safe for sensitive skin, this “pre-event peel” has minimal to no downtime, providing a subtle glow 3 to 5 days before a special occasion.
- Glow Peel: A medium chemical peel, Glow Peel minimizes the appearance of hyperpigmentation (dark spots) and fine lines using salicylic acid and lactic acid. This peel promotes deeper skin rejuvenation than the Radiant 30, with 3 to 5 days of downtime.
- Power Peel: The Power Peel is our strongest chemical peel, featuring the same ingredients as the Glow Peel at a slightly higher concentration. This peel penetrates deeper into the skin to minimize the appearance of acne scars, hyperpigmentation, uneven skin texture, and fine lines.
DermaFacial
The Préime DermaFacial is one of our most advanced med spa services in Waxhaw, featuring 5 unique tools to target different skin concerns for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
- AquaB: Spiral suction technology that removes dirt, oil, and other impurities from your pores while hydrating your skin.
- VibroX: Microdermabrasion and red light therapy penetrate the top layer of your skin and stimulate collagen production to improve skin texture and tone.
- MicroT: Microcurrent technology, or low-level electrical currents, induces mild muscle contractions to strengthen and tone facial muscles.
- Collagen+: Radiofrequency (RF) energy heats targeted areas of the skin and triggers the body’s natural healing response, boosting the production of collagen and elastin for tighter, healthier skin.
- UltraB: High-frequency thermal ultrasound technology gently vibrates and heats the skin, allowing it to absorb skincare products applied by our Dogwood Face & Body experts at the end of your appointment.
RF Microneedling
Exion RF microneedling rejuvenates the skin by combining traditional microneedling techniques with radiofrequency (RF) technology.
Our Dogwood Face & Body experts gently stamp the microneedling device’s gold-tipped microneedles into your skin, creating microinjuries. This stimulates the body’s healing process, increasing collagen and elastin production to improve skin structure and elasticity.
Simultaneously, the microneedles send radiofrequency waves deeper into the skin than the microneedles penetrate. This thermal energy creates systematic damage to the middle layer of the skin, which then heals, showing healthier skin.
We prioritize patient comfort during our med spa services in Waxhaw. Before beginning your appointment, we apply a topical anesthetic gel to numb the skin during your treatment. An integrated cooling system also keeps the skin at a comfortable temperature, minimizing unnecessary thermal damage.
Intense Pulsed Light
Intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy sends noninvasive broad-spectrum light beams into the skin, promoting collagen production for a healthier, more youthful complexion.
Different wavelengths of light target different pigments, such as melanin and hyperpigmentation, in the skin, which absorb and convert light energy into heat. This causes the dark spots to break apart, rise to the skin’s surface, and shed, revealing a more even complexion.
To minimize the appearance of spider veins, IPL devices target hemoglobin, which heats the blood vessel walls, causing them to collapse. The body, then, gradually absorbs these unused blood vessels until they disappear.
