Chemical peels use a chemical solution to improve and smooth the texture of the facial skin by removing its damaged outer layers. Chemical peels are used on the face to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles caused from factors such as age, sun damage, and smoking. They are also effective at evening out the skin's imperfections and helping to fade brown spots. Peels can also be used on the face, back, and decollate areas to assist in clearing acne and blemishes. Peels loosen dead cells from the skin's surface, providing a smoother texture and a radiant, healthy glow. We customize the strength and type of peels to suit your specialized skin care needs. Many of our peels are conducted by licensed medical aestheticians and technicians under the supervision of M. Christine Lee, M.D.  Physician-strength peels are performed by Dr. Lee.

Microdermabrasion utilizes a hand-held instrument that emits very fine crystals to polish the surface of the skin. It suctions away both the upper most layer of skin and the crystals to reveal a layer of fresh invigorated skin. There is minimal discomfort and virtually no recuperation period. Microdermabrasion improves dull or uneven skin color, relieves clogged pores/blackheads, refines the appearance of fine lines and large pores, and softens roughness or thickened patches of dead skin. After one treatment, the results are visible on any skin type and color with evident improvements in both skin texture and appearance. Improvements will continue with subsequent treatments. Typically, 5 – 12 treatments are recommended to achieve maximum results. Our patients report that after Microdermabrasion therapy, their skin appears dewy fresh, smoother and more youthful. This procedure is typically performed on the face, however, it is also effective on the back and decollate areas to help reduce the effects of acne and sun damage. We customize our treatments to your skin type, and after consultation, we can combine Microdermabrasion with a light chemical glycolic acid peel or a multitude of light devices or lasers to increase the rejuvenating effects.

The JetPeel utilizes a hand-held instrument that emits very fine but intense spray of water onto the surface of the skin. It hydrates the skin while providing a deep cleaning. There is minimal discomfort and virtually no recuperation period. The JetPeel can be combined with different solutions to help drive different products into the skin.

VELASMOOTH and CELLULITE/BODY CONTOURING

Dr. Lee was the first doctor in the U.S. to work with this device, pioneered the technique, and conducted the FDA clinical trials. The Velasmooth uses a combination of radiofrequency energy with mechanical massage and infrared laser energy to help smooth and tighten the skin, improving the appearance of cellulite. It is also commonly used to improve skin tone and tightening after liposuction.
