Dermaplaning, also called epidermal leveling, exfoliates the top layer of your skin and stimulates new cell growth. As a result, mild acne scars, skin pigmentation, and fine lines are diminished.

    Dermaplaning is an excellent choice for women and men with sensitive skin. After the treatment, your skin immediately appears more radiant, and there’s no downtime.

WHAT ARE MICRONEEDLING AND CHEMICAL PEELS?
When your skin needs more intensive care, microneedling and chemical peels may be the treatments of choice:

  • Microneedling: Microneedling, or collagen-induction therapy, is done using a handheld device that creates hundreds of invisible punctures on the skin’s surface. These micro-wounds stimulate the healing response, which boosts collagen production. Your new skin growth is stronger and has a better texture.
  • PRP Facial Rejuvenation: The PRP Facial Rejuvenation combines microneedling and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. After a microneedling treatment, Dr. Ravi applies PRP made from your own blood to the surface of your skin. As PRP is absorbed into the tiny punctures, it stimulates more new collagen production than microneedling alone.
  • Chemical Peels: Chemical peels remove layers of your skin so that new skin growth can replace aesthetic problems found in your old skin. Your peel may remove only the top layer or go deeper to remove several layers.
    Depending on the depth of the peel (light, medium, or deep) you may treat:
  • Dry, dull looking skin
  • Clogged pores and blemishes
  • Skin redness
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Uneven skin texture
  • Acne and acne scarring
  • Sun damage, age spots, and other skin discolorations
