What is hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation is a skin condition where cells produce more melanin in certain areas, causing uneven pigmentation. This can be from sun exposure, hormones or medications.
Common Types of Hyperpigmentation:
✨Melasma, Chloasma or Pregnancy Mask: Skin discoloration caused by hormones
✨Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation: Darkening of skin caused by trauma to the tissue
✨Freckles: Characterized by clusters of melanocytes (pigment cells)
✨Age Spots, Solar Lentigo or Liver Spots: Dark spots caused by sun exposure or aging
If you have concerns about hyperpigmentation, DM to schedule a consultation.

✨3 Tips for Healthier Skin✨

Want more radiant skin but not sure where to start? Here are three tips:
1. Wash your face morning and night — This removes the bacteria, dirt and pollutants you encounter during the day and the toxins your body gets rid of at night.
2. Keep your skin hydrated — Your skin cells need moisture to function properly and keep your skin healthy and young-looking.
3. Wear SPF every day — Protecting your skin from UV rays helps you avoid skin cancer and signs of aging.

🌻Skin Barrier Health🌙

What is the skin barrier?

Your skin is made up of different layers. The top layer is called the skin barrier or stratum corneum, and it’s what keeps you alive! It’s made up of tough skin cells called corneocytes which form a “brick wall” to protect your body from bacteria, toxins and viruses. The skin barrier also keeps water in your body, so you stay hydrated. Kind of important, isn’t it? That’s why protecting your skin barrier is essential to maintaining healthy, radiant skin.

What can damage your skin barrier?🦠

Your skin barrier protects you from harmful bacteria and toxins and keeps your body hydrated. However, many things can damage your skin barrier, leaving you vulnerable to infection, itchiness and other skin problems.

Here are some things to watch out for:
• Extreme humid or dry environments
• Allergens, irritants and pollutants
• Harsh chemicals
• Too much sun exposure
• Over-exfoliating or over-washing

2023 Goals will be better skin.
Did you know that your skin is the largest organ in your body? It's time to start taking better care of it. Book a Hydrafacial today and lets get you on the right track!

It's so much easier than you think. Just start with the basics:
1- A good gentle cleanser for morning and night
2-Moisturizer for morning and night
3- SPF is a must every single morning, even if its cloudy outside.
4 - Facials every 4 weeks

One of the many reasons I love is because they have actual scientific proof that it works!

The new study, published in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology (JCAD), found Hydrafacial clarifying treatments improved acne skin concerns in 100% of study participants.

Twenty subjects with mild-to-moderate acne, ranging in age from 19 to 48 and across Fitzpatrick skin types, participated in the study. They received a clarifying Hydrafacial treatment with blue LED light from a trained esthetician every two weeks during a 12-week period, for a total of six treatments.

Here are the results:

🌸 100% positive response: There was a significant improvement in acne severity, with 100% of participants finding they had clearer, healthier, and more radiant skin.
🌺 Clear and clean: Study participants reported fewer acne lesions and reduced inflammation and said their skin looked and felt cleaner.
🌻 Boost of confidence: Participants reported a significant boost in confidence in their appearance, growing from 40% feeling more confident after their first treatment to 100% after their final treatment.
