*About HydraFacial™   Skin Rejuvenation in a few short sessions. Hydrafacial is a breakthrough skin resurfacing technology that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration, and antioxidant protection all into one, painless treatment. Hydrafacial is the treatment choice of “many celebrities” and has been touted on NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX and in many publications such as: Allure, ESPY, Weddings, etc. HYDRAFACIAL™…WHAT IS IT? The word “hydra” comes from the root word “hydrate” meaning to take in moisture. The Hydrafacial technique is unique from all other facial resurfacing treatments because it can moisturize the skin while it removes dead skin cells, extracts impurities, and bathes the skin in hydrating, moisturizing serums. Other techniques, such as dermabrasion, remove (exfoliate) excess and damaged skin but can leave the skin dry and unprotected. Hydrafacial combines the benefits of dermabrasion with chemical peels and natural, hydrating serums to restore the skin to its more youthful and refreshed state. HOW YOU BENEFIT? •Hydrafacial slows down the skin aging process •Delays the need for more aggressive anti-aging procedures •Suitable for all skin types - thin, aging, sensitive, ethnic, dry and/or oily skin •Improves skin quality including thickness, tone, and texture •Gradually repairs the dermal matrix…repetitive treatments can reduce fine lines and wrinkles •Treatments take as little as 15 minutes with no downtime •Radiant skin tone seen after only 1 treatment •Great for acne, hyperpigmentation, congested pores, and uneven skin tone…no surgery, no injections, no discomfort! Hydrafacial is one of the most popular non-invasive age defying treatments for skin resurfacing…many Celebrities choose Hydrafacial to get immediate and long lasting radiant skin! HOW IT WORKS A Hydrafacial is fast, efficient, and feels like a “cool paintbrush” moving over your face. A baseline dermabrasion is performed in most patients to gain access to deeper levels of the skin. In addition, a wide array of specially developed skin solutions can be used during your treatment to “customize” it based on your specific concerns and goals. These include: •DermaBuilder™ Peptide Complex for age defying skin refining. Improves fines lines, wrinkles, skin firmness, tone, and texture. •GlySal™ Acid Peels uses blended Glycolic Acid and Salicylic Acid to provide controlled chemical peeling. This contributes to the exfoliation of damaged skin. •Activ-4™ Skin Solution is designed for most skin types and promotes overall skin health by reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation, brown spots, and uneven skin tones. •Beta-HD™ Skin Solution is a Salicylic acid based for acne/oily prone skin. Treatment softens sebum (oil), dislodges skin debris, and aids in the painless extraction of whiteheads and blackheads. •Antiox-6 Skin Solution is specially blended with Vitamins A and E, White Tea Extract, and Hyaluronic Acid for overall antioxidant protection and deep hydration on most skin types.

*Obagi for Life   Obagi Skin Care Skin Rejuvenation in a bottle Obagi skin care transforms your skin. At the cellular level it works to correct damage, optimize overall results, prevent future damage, restore and lift the eyes, lighten chest/neck skin, clear acne, and balance skin tone.

Wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging occur because of this, and the loss of collagen and elastin. Sun damage due to daily UV exposure can accelerate this aging process and also causes uneven pigmentation. Obagi Nu-Derm System corrects damage from within by penetrating below the surface of your skin to transform performance at the cellular level. The result is firmer, clearer, smoother, more lifted skin.

The ABC's of HydroPeptide®   “C” is for Centella Asiatica Stems G™: a potent stem cell found in our amazing, new HydroStem+6. Centella Asiatica Stems G™ is one of the most versatile and potent botanical stem cells. It is produced from Gotu Kola, or Tiger Grass, cells through a highly controlled in vitro culture process to retain considerable biological properties of the plant. Centella Asiatica is a small herbaceous plant native to Southeast Asia used for generations in traditional Indian medicine. Raw Gotu Kola extract is still used in dermatology to heal wounds, burns and ulcers. Centella Asiatica Stems G™ repairs skin tone and the loss of elasticity. It has been shown to have superior antioxidant activity and prevents the loss of hyaluronic acid; maintaining firmness and hydration. In addition it has been proven to control inflammation and help to tone the blood vessels that bring oxygen and nutrients to the dermis and epidermis. Centella Asiatica Stems G™ is featured in our new HydroStem+6. This powerful treatment unites peptides that restore all aspects of skin's structural integrity with regenerative stem cells.

“D” is for Dermaxyl: A potent cell communicator, found in HydroPeptide® Face, Eye and Moisturize.   Dermaxyl is a patented oligopeptide and ceramide blend that smoothes wrinkles and repairs age related skin damage. This ingredient works by stimulating older cells to communicate like younger, healthy cells in the deeper layers of the skin. In vitro tests showed an activation of skin matrix cleansing to damaged areas by 227%, indicating better cell communication. When cells communicate effectively they focus on repairing areas of the skin that have been damaged by the aging process. Dermaxyl enhances firmness, improves moisture retention, and has been shown to help visibly reduce the number and depth of wrinkles. Dermaxyl is clinically proven to reduce the appearance of wrinkle depth by increasing hyaluronic acid and helping influence collagen production. This ingredient was developed through research to identify a substance that would behave similarly to retinoic acid but without the harsh side effects that can cause further damage to the skin. In vivo clinical studies have shown that with a once daily application of 2% Dermaxyl after 56 days, surface wrinkles can be reduced up to a 98%, 40% on average. Dermaxyl is featured in Face, Eye, and Moisturize in the HydroPeptide® Collection. Using any one of these three products will result in visible improvement of fine lines and wrinkles due to the constant rebuilding of collagen and increase in surface hydration.
