From deep peel therapy to laser treatments, the Skin Institute has you covered.
DEEP PEEL THERAPY
THE OBAGI BLUE PEEL
The Obagi Blue Peel is a more aggressive chemical peel that can dramatically improve your complexion - reducing blemishes, acne scars, wrinkles, uneven pigmentation and sun damage. The Blue Peel is a deeper chemical peel so the results are more dramatic. But, as a result of the depth, it requires more recovery. Depending on the depth of procedure (one to four layers can be applied) healing time can be anywhere from five to ten days. Patients generally are given mild sedation prior to the Blue Peel. A consultation with physician and esthetician is a requirement prior to scheduling.
Treatment time is approximately
20-30 minutes per layer.FACIAL TREATMENT THERAPIES

LASER HAIR REDUCTION
The Altus Cool Glide Laser is an effective treatment for reducing hair on all parts of the body. Hair must be brown or black to be receptive to the Altus Cool Glide treatment. Prices for treatment vary depending on the area being treated. Please contact our office for a quote.
PERMANENT MAKEUP
Micropigmentation, commonly known as medical tattooing, is a revolutionary way to place or replace color in your skin. A safe and effective procedure, micropigmentation is performed by depositing pigment into your skin with a specially designed motorized instrument and a sterile needle or group of needles. Micropigmentation can be performed to enhance your eyes, eyebrows and lips. It can also be used to camouflage your scars, burns and vitilligo as well as to give your nipple-areola complex a more natural appearance following breast reconstruction surgery.
COLLAGEN INDUCTION THERAPY
Our newest procedure here at The Skin Institute, this treatment consists of rolling the skin with a device of microscopic needles to stimulate the skin's own collagen production. A series of 6 treatments is recommended and usually occur in 1-2 week intervals. This treatment reduces fine lines and the skin's overall appearance. It is also effective on treating acne scarring. Patients are numbed prior to treatments for a more comfortable experience. A consultation is required with an Esthetician prior to scheduling.
Treatment time is approximately 1 hour.
Additional numbing time may be needed.LIGHT PEEL THERAPIES
THE BIOMEDIC MICROPEEL
The MicroPeel or famous "lunch-time" peel is a threestep process that removes a micro-thin top layer of skin. The procedure is safe, effective and is accomplished in 15 - 20 minutes. Benefits include skin clarity, even skin tone, uniform color, and better texture and may reduce precancerous lesions. The MicroPeel can be performed on any skin type. Many patients utilize this treatment as a monthly power facial because it dramatically improves the feel of the skin with a quick, inexpensive treatment.
Treatment time is 15 minutes.SENSI PEEL TREATMENT
A treatment primarily for extremely sensitive, hard to treat skin including rosacea and ethnic skin types. The solution contains a blend of L-lactic acid and TCA. Plant derived progesterone leaves the skin feeling plump and hydrated. L-ascorbic acid strengthens and brightens the skin while L-arbutin and kojic acid help to treat excess pigmentation and sun damage. Kojic Acid and Azelaic Acid provide anti-acne and antibacterial properties to the solution.
OXYGENATING FACIAL TRIO
An antioxidant therapy to ameliorate free radical damage and fight aging. It stimulates respiration and circulation within the skin, promotes healing, and rejuvenates sluggish, tired skin due to toxins, pollutants, allergens, improper diet and solar damage. Acne conditions also benefit from the increase in oxygen into the epidermis. Ideal when performed in conjunction with another peel or prior to a special event.
ESTHETIQUE PEEL
An advanced formulation of L-ascorbic, L-lactic, and L-retinol with a host of polyphenols, antioxidants, vitamins and humectants. It smoothes, tightens and improves texture while correcting a variety of common skin concerns. Perfectly suited for extra sensitive skin including rosacea.
Treatment time is 30 minutes.
INTERMEDIATE PEEL THERAPIES
THE MICROPEEL PLUS
The MicroPeel Plus is an exceptional skin renewal treatment. It stimulates cell turnover through the application of salicylic acid in the form of microcrystals using MICROSPONGE technology. The treatment takes 15 minutes and will help smooth fine lines and even skin discoloration while simultaneously reducing the appearance of acne scars and environmental damage. The MicroPeel Plus does cause the skin to go through a "shedding" process three to four days after the procedure.
Treatment time is 15 minutes.
ULTRAPEEL and PCA PEEL
More aggressive exfoliative treatments for oilier, thicker resilient skin types. Will help treat acne, pigment disorders, aging and sun-damaged skin. Moderate to aggressive exfoliation will be experienced depending on the number of coats applied.
