All of our skin care treatments are customized for each individual's needs. We recommend that before you start treatments you meet with our Esthetician and determine what treatments and products would be right for your skin.
Mary Dix-Hayse is a Licensed Esthetician who works directly with Dr. Putman to develop and offer skin care treatments utilizing products and equipment that will have a long-term positive effect on the skin. We incorporate lasers and light based equipment and products that are only available in a medical office. There are risks associated with laser and light based procedures, but those risks are minimized greatly at the Facial Plastic & Laser Surgery Center due to the direct supervision of Dr. Putman, the level of training, our expertise in the field, and our long-term commitment to safety. Dr. Putman is available to address any concerns about the skin before or after a treatment.
Consultation:
Your consultation will include a facial cleansing, skin analysis, photos utilizing the Profect Camera (gives a magnified view of skin blemishes and a UV view which allows us to see imperfections in the skin below the surface), treatment and product recommendations and the costs associated with your customized skin care program.
Diamond Tome Microdermabrasion Particle Free Skin Exfoliation:
The Diamond Tome Particle-Free Microdermabrasion smoothly exfoliates skin and vacuums dense skin cells using a diamond coated wand to avoid all loose abrasives. Treatments can be utilized not only for the face, but also the neck, décolleté, hands and extremities, and back. Patients experience a radiant glow with softer, smoother and cleaner skin after just one treatment. There is no downtime with microdermabrasion, and makeup can be applied immediately.
Peels
We have over 40 variations of peels to address each individual client’s needs. We do not believe in a one-peel-fits-all approach. Our peels are advanced solutions combining exfoliating acids, tyrosinase inhibitors and skin strengthening agents to provide maximum benefits with minimal discomfort and little to no downtime. The synergistic effect of their ingredients provides corrective and nutritive benefits while exfoliating the surface of the skin to help minimize fine lines and wrinkles and even skin tone. When carefully selected our peels will help you achieve healthy, beautiful results.
Enhanced Jessner’s Peels—Soften the depth of surface lines around the eyes and nasolabial folds, help clear acne, smooth skin texture and even skin tone.
Blended TCA Peels—These solutions are exceptional for the treatment of acne, hyperpigmentation, aging skin, fine lines and wrinkles.
Salicylic Acid Treatments—The keratolytic action of these treatments help to smooth surface texture, clear blocked follicles and reduce breakouts.
Retinol Treatments—These treatments create mild occlusion to enhance absorption of the vitamins, antioxidants and rich actives into the skin for maximum benefits.
Peel Alternatives—Treatments designed to keep skin free of pollutants and toxins, leading to a brighter and clearer complexion, especially in acne-prone skin.
Melanage Peel—A Retinoid and hydroquinone mask for the treatment of hyperpigmentation, pigmented blemishes and melasma. It is a superficial peel designed to improve the texture and tone of the skin. The mask is applied in office and removed at home 4-8 hours later. Includes home care products for follow-up.
Melanage MiniPeel—Same as Melanage peel, with less peeling and redness, with the mask being removed 2 hours after application. A series of 4-6 treatments, every 2-3 weeks is recommended.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)
Also known as Photo Facials – IPL treatments use light energy for photorejuvenation. As the skin ages and is exposed to the elements of nature, it suffers from degradation and imperfections. Using IPL, short pulses of light selectively target and coagulate chromophores in the epidermis and papillary dermis. Oxy-hemoglobin in vascular lesions and melanin in pigmented lesions are coagulated. The coagulated cells are eliminated by a natural process and replaced by new cells. For fine lines and wrinkles, IPL selectively inflicts micro thermal trauma in the dermal-epidermal junction. The trauma triggers a wound-healing process and new collagen remodels under an undamaged outer layer. IPL treatments result in clearer, younger looking skin.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound utilizes low-frequency sound waves to enhance the absorption of active ingredients in the skin, increase the development of collagen and elastin, promote cellular repair, hydrate the skin and kill bacteria. Ultrasound also creates friction and increases local heat, which increases the activity of skin cells. By doing this, production of collagen and elastin increases, toning the skin. Increased temperature also stimulates blood flow to the area, bringing with it more oxygen and nutrients for healing. Another benefit of increased blood flow is an increased lymph flow, removing toxins and waste . Ultrasound is safe for all skin tones and types. It is a great treatment for aging, acne and rosacea. Ultrasound can be enhanced by combining it will microdermabrasion or peels.
Combination Therapies
There are many combinations of treatments that work well for all skin conditions. Let us put together a skin care program designed for your specific needs.
