Is laser hair removal safe and effective?
Laser hair removal is generally safe and effective for most skin types and areas of the body. It works by targeting hair follicles with concentrated light energy to inhibit future hair growth.
What are the benefits of chemical peels?
Chemical peels can improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, treat acne and acne scars, and even out skin tone by removing dead skin cells and stimulating collagen production.
What is the difference between dry and dehydrated skin?
Dry vs dehydrated skin is a common subject of confusion for a lot of people. Dry skin is a skin type, which lacks proper levels of oil. It will often have an uneven tone, small pores, feel itchy and have a flaky appearance. To soothe dry skin, include emollients, ceramides, mineral oils and squalane. Dehydrated skin on the other hand, is a skin condition that lacks proper levels of hydration. It will have a dull appearance and feel tight. One way to tell if you’re lacking water? Press upward on your cheek, and if fine lines appear, increase your hydration. Ingredients you should be including in your skincare routine are hyaluronic acid, glycerin, antioxidants.
What skincare products should everyone use?
At Skinns cosmetics we truly believe that absolutely everyone should be using and can benefit from incorporating three specific products into their daily routine. These three products are a Vitamin C serum (of no less than 10% L-ascorbic acid), a Retinol product, and a quality broad-spectrum sunscreen.
If I have sensitive skin, can I still use a retinol product?
Retinol (or Vitamin A) is a well-loved ingredient due to its ability to speed skin cell turnover and boost collagen production. While sensitive skin can use a retinol product, it can lead to flakiness and the feeling of dryness in the skin. To counter this, it is suggested to incorporate a hyaluronic acid and proper moisturizer into your routine. The percentage of retinol as well as the frequency of application weekly should be adjusted to suit your skin type. If you are still finding the usage harsh, consult with your skincare professional for alternative options that are best suited for your skin type.
Are there procedures to help diminish the appearance of stretch marks?
At Skinns Cosmetics, we often suggest a micro-needling series to reduce the appearance of stretch marks. Typically, people assume micro-needling is for facial treatments only, but it can actually be performed on any area of the body. This collagen induction therapy treatment uses sterile surgical grade needles which are used to create controlled injury at various depths of the skin. This injury causes a cell healing response from the body, which helps to repair the scarred tissue. Typically to see optimal results, a 5-6 treatment series spaced 6-8 weeks between individual treatments is recommended to reduce stretch mark appearance.
How can I tell my skin type?
Typically, you should always receive a thorough skin analysis from a professional to assess skin type and any existing conditions, but there are some key factors when trying to determine this yourself at home. Think about how your skin feels when you wake up in the morning. If it’s generally tight and flaky, it’s likely to be dry. Oily skin usually has larger pores and looks shiny and glossy all over. Combination skin will usually have an oily T-zone with large pores, while the rest of the face is dry and the pores are smaller. Lastly, normal skin feels overall even and balanced. Understanding your skin type or any existing conditions is such a critical part of achieving balanced skin! Determining this allows for proper skincare product choice and treatment planning moving forward.
What method payments are available?
We gladly accept all major credit cards, including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover, as well as cash for your convenience.
Do you take payment before or after treatments?
All payments must be made in full prior to receiving treatment.
Will you provide a payment receipt for my billing?
Certainly, we will provide a detailed payment receipt for your billing records upon completion of your transaction.
How much should i pay for my treatment?
Due to the varying costs associated with different services and body areas, we offer complimentary consultations to provide you with a personalized pricing plan.
How do I schedule an appointment?
You can schedule an appointment by calling our clinic, booking online through our website, or visiting us in person. Our team will be happy to assist you in finding a convenient time.
Is there parking available at your clinic?
Yes, we offer ample parking space for our clients. Our clinic is easily accessible and has convenient parking facilities to ensure a hassle-free visit.
Can I see before-and-after photos of past clients?
Certainly. We have a portfolio of before-and-after photos showcasing the results of our treatments. You can view these during your consultation or on our website.
What should I expect during my first visit?
During your first visit, you will receive a comprehensive skin assessment, discuss your skincare goals, and receive personalized treatment recommendations. Our team will ensure you feel comfortable and informed throughout the process.
What treatments can be performed with Cynosure technology?
Cynosure technology allows us to offer a wide range of treatments, including laser hair removal, skin resurfacing, wrinkle reduction, acne scar treatment, pigmentation correction, and vascular lesion removal.
