The best place to begin is a consultation with an experienced aesthetician near you.  After an assessment of your skin and concerns you aesthetician can select a personalized skin care program for you including daily products and maintenance treatments such as peels or microneedling.  We recommend using medical grade skin care products like Transform MD and wearing sunscreen every day.

Hi love! Are you currently on a skincare regimen? We love IS Clinical to help create and maintain a more youthful look. A facial cleanser, serum and moisturizer for your skin type is essential.

It is possible, since you are university age, that you could be tired! Make sure to drink plenty of water, exercise (we love pilates and 30 min walks to help with cortisol levels) and getting enough sleep.

Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser.  Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads can seriously improve surface sun damage and UV related pigmentation. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.  
Best,
