Microneedling with Salient MD’s E-pen and using PCA Hyaluronic Acid (HA) boosting serum or Exosomes (additional cost):

Description of the Procedure and the Pen: The E-Pen is an Epidermal Micro-Exfoliation (EME) device used to create controlled micro-injury under the surface of the skin (in the dermis) in order to stimulate the body’s natural healing process to produce collagen.

The E-pen is unique in that it has twelve needles that are all 32 gauge (very tiny which improves comfort) and has a depth customization to allow us to penetrate skin at different depths up to 2mm.

The procedure is typically completed in 30-60 minutes. The treatment time can vary based on the required treatment and anatomical site being treated.

Indications:

• to improve skin brightness and glow by increasing the skin’s own hyaluronic acid production.

• to improve overall skin texture and tone

• to even out complexion

• to reduce appearance of acne scars

• to reduce appearance of age spots and sun spots

• to treat enlarged pores, black heads

• to reduce fine lines and wrinkles

• to reduce stretch marks

HA Boosting serum Contains :

1. HA and Sodium Hyaluronate (HA Sodium Salt){attracting and holding 1,000 times its weight in moisture within the skin. It provides smoothing and softening of the skin while reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and increasing moisture content in the upper skin layers)

2. Hydrolyzed HA( due to its small molecular size, it is able to penetrate through the skin to deliver deeper moisturization and significantly reduce deep wrinkles.)

3. + HA-Pro Complex™ ( PCA SKIN’s proprietary blend) works to stimulate the production of the skin’s own native HA. HA-Pro Complex™ delivers 24-hour moisturization through all levels of the skin, smoothing fine lines and wrinkles)

4. Ceramides (supports the renewal of the skin’s natural protective layer and forms an effective barrier against moisture loss; improves long-term moisturization and protects skin from external offenders.)

5. Niacinamide (a potent, yet calming antioxidant that delivers multiple important benefits to the skin. ) It helps to reduce water loss and improve barrier function. This is critical for healthy, bright skin. Additionally, it helps reduce redness, skin yellowing and promotes an even skin tone

Exosomes are being coined by World Aesthetic leaders as ‘the next generation PRP!”

Recommended for Skin Recovery, Brightening, & Skin Barrier Synthesis as well as for hair restoration:

• Post treatment care (after Sylfirm X RF Microneedling, E-pen microneedling, XEO laser, or Limelight IPL treatments) for improved skin rejuvenation, collagen and elastin production, better skin tone/texture and wound healing.

• Evidence suggests that exosomes can enhance the efficacy of other skin treatments, such as microneedling or laser therapy by providing additional growth factors and promoting tissue repair to optimize results of treatment, ie protect your investment, reduce downtime and reduce side effects like post inflammatory hyperpigmentation

• Inflamed skin or skin in need of soothing

• Thin & sensitive skin due to environmental causes or frequent procedure

• Dry Skin in need of strengthening the skin barrier- exosome treatment promotes Skin hydration and prevents moisture loss for a more youthful appearance

• Skin prone to pigmentation

• Skin in need of skin texture improvement

• Anti-aging benefits - collagen production (Exosome balm stimulates the production of collagen, a protein that gives our skin strength and elasticity. Increased collagen production can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and improve skin firmness

• Recovery of hair loss - exosome treatment contains molecules that can protect hair follicle stem cells from damage, which can help to promote hair regrowth. It has been clinically shown to help regenerate and regrow hair as a treatment for hair loss in both men and women in the earlier stages of hair loss.

• To understand exosome therapy, let's break it down step by step:

1. What are exosomes?

Exosomes are tiny particles naturally produced by cells. Think of them as tiny messengers that carry important information between cells. They contain proteins, lipids, growth factors and signaling molecules.

2. How do they work?

Exosomes are isolated from certain cells, typically stem cells, and formulated into a topical product like a serum. When applied to the skin, particularly after microneedling, the exosomes penetrate the dermis at the required depth to stimulate skin cells.

Exosomes promote skin rejuvenation, collagen and elastin production, and hydration. It's a safe and non-invasive option that enhances the overall appearance and health of the skin. Treatments do not require blood draw.

Exosome therapy is often added on to a microneedling session for additional aesthetic results and is also very effective in the treatment of hair restoration. Often also used post Laser treatments for advanced results and improved recovery.

A chemical peel is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the application of a chemical solution to the skin, causing the top layer of skin to peel off, revealing a smoother, rejuvenated complexion. The type of peel provided is customized based on an individual's skin type, concerns, and desired outcomes. Prior consultation with one of our qualified professionals is essential to determine the most suitable type and strength of chemical peel for each individual.

Purposes of a Chemical Peel:

1. Skin Renewal and Rejuvenation

Chemical peels are designed to help refresh and revitalize the skin by removing dead and damaged skin cells. This promotes the growth of new skin cells, resulting in a more youthful and radiant appearance.

2. Improved Skin Texture and Tone

Chemical peels can help address various skin concerns, including uneven skin tone, rough texture, and fine lines. By exfoliating the outer layer of skin, peels encourage a smoother and more even complexion.

3. Reduced Hyperpigmentation

Chemical peels can be effective in reducing hyperpigmentation, such as age spots, sunspots, and discoloration caused by acne scars. The peeling process helps to fade these dark spots, promoting a more uniform skin tone.

4. Acne Treatment

Chemical peels can aid in the treatment of acne and blemishes by unclogging pores, reducing excess oil production, and eliminating bacteria on the skin. Regular peels can lead to clearer, healthier skin.

5. Minimized Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Chemical peels can stimulate collagen production, which is crucial for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. This can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, providing a more youthful complexion.

6. Smoother Skin and Softened Scars

Chemical peels can help improve the texture of the skin, making it smoother and softer. Additionally, they can help reduce the visibility of certain scars, including acne scars and minor scarring.

7. Enhanced Absorption of Skincare Products

By removing the outer layer of dead skin cells, chemical peels allow skincare products to penetrate deeper into the skin, enhancing their effectiveness and promoting better results.

LATISSE® is the first and only prescription eyelash product in Canada to treat eyelash hypotrichosis, which is another name for having inadequate or not enough eyelashes.

The active ingredient in Latisse is: bimatoprost 0.03% topical eye solution. This is a synthetic version of a natural prostaglandin. Prostaglandins are substances found in the body that play a role in various physiological processes, including hair growth.

Latisse is clinically proven to grow longer, darker, fuller lashes in 8-12 weeks by extending the growth phase (anagen phase) of the eyelash hair cycle. This means that the individual eyelashes stay in the growth phase for a longer period, allowing them to grow longer, darker and become thicker.
