The Gel Peel Treatment is designed to minimize the appearance of surface lines, smooth out rough skin texture, aid in clearing acne, and help fade hyperpigmentation. The acids in these peels remove dead cells from the surface without irritating the skin. Safe and effective this in-office treatment minimizes patient down-time and is specifically developed for use with an at-home pre and- post treatment regime. For optimal results, a minimum of 6 sessions in conjunction with other procedures or treatments are recommended.

This Facial is designed to help calm and sooth acne/ rosacea skin. The Vitamin C Firming Masque will aid in reducing erythema caused by rosacea. The Phyto Corrective Gel acts as a hydrator, without leaving the skin oily, and its’ anti- bacterial/ anti-septic properties help heal and calm acneic skin.

This facial is perfect for the teenaged client experiencing “teen-like” acne. The combination of products helps to reduce oil without drying and gives the skin the hydration it needs. Botanicals in the Phyto Corrective Gel help to heal the acne, while the Clarifying Clay Masque draws out impurities and oils that can be harmful to the skin.

Acne is the most common skin problem in the United States, affecting not only teenagers, but up to 80 percent of people in their 20s and 30s*. This stubborn condition is typically treated with oral and topical medications, which can produce good results but often with undesirable side effects.

We offer an effective alternative acne treatment. Our systems deliver highly concentrated light pulses which attack acne on two fronts:

The result is fast resolution of current breakouts and a long remission time between treatments, without any drug-related side effects.

F.A.Q.'s

A: We use specialized handpieces which filter light from different parts of the spectrum. Each band of the spectrum has a wavelength that is ideal for different treatments, such as hair reduction, sunspot removal, or leg vein clearance. The handpiece filters light into a band of the spectrum to affect acne. It concentrates the light into individual pulses targeting acne-causing bacteria. Pulsed light systems and lasers are very similar, but our pulsed light systems use a much larger treatment window than most lasers. This spreads light over a wide area of skin and allows faster coverage of the skin and quicker treatments as a result.

A: Your treatment provider will move the handpiece over the skin, pulsing it all the while. Each pulse will sends beams of light through the skin. A flashing light, an audible tone and a mild sensation will tell you when the handpiece is being pulsed. This sensation produces little to no discomfort. You can expect a mild sunburn-like sensation, possibly accompanied by minor swelling. This usually lasts 2-24 hours and can be soothed. There may be an initial flare-up of acne, similar to the kind seen after a peel or the beginning of a new topical or oral acne medication. Some of the blemishes may appear redder. They will then fade after 2-3 weeks. A reduction in the number of lesions and the prevention of new lesions formation can be expected following your treatment course.

According to a 2008 survey by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, people in their 50s and 60s ranked youthful-looking skin as the number one feature they find attractive in others. Also, respondents in their 20s, 40s, 50s, and 60s, consider the appearance of the face essential.

Millions of women have stretch marks, which occur naturally as a result of puberty, pregnancy, hormonal changes and weight gain. This fact does little to alleviate the embarrassment that most women experience at the appearance of these unsightly striations on their skin.

Acne scars and surgical scars may cause emotional or physical pain and influence the quality of life. Surgical scar removal procedures are painful, invasive, and have a chance for complications.

At Body Beautiful, we use the Palomar’s Lux1540 Fractional Laser System. Palomar® invented and patented micro-fractional laser technology. We offer a non-invasive solution that delivers rapid, reliable treatment with little risk. Healing time is minimal; the infection risk eliminated; and there is little to no pain felt. This laser technology is the perfect choice for the treatment of wrinkles, acne and surgical scars, melasma, striae, undesirable textural irregularities, crow’s feet, blotchy skin and more, on almost any problem spot on the body - face, neck, chest, arms, legs.

The laser improves unsightly skin color and skin texture associated with stretch marks and wrinkles around the mouth and eyes (known as crow’s feet). This laser eliminates these conditions, leaving smoother, better looking skin. It is suitable for use on all skin types, making it the preferred method of scar removal for outstanding clinical outcomes.

Acne occurs when the pores become clogged with dead skin cells and excess sebum. This provides an ideal medium for bacteria to multiply – causing pimples and inflammation.

Acne generally begins in puberty but can last well into adulthood.

Pulses of filtered light are directed into the skin, where they destroy bacteria to clear current acne breakouts. The light pulses also slow down the production of sebum, which can get clogged in the pores – this prevents future acne breakouts.

Pulsed light systems are similiar to lasers but with a larger light beam than most lasers for wider coverage and faster, more comfortable treatments.

The Palomar Pulsed Light System attacks acne on two fronts:

Your skin may be slightly red after treatment. The acne blemishes shrink and become less noticeable, and then fade after approximately one week.

Palomar Pulsed Light Systems use a unique long pulsewidth that delivers energy to the skin over a relatively long period of time. This makes the pulses safer and more comfortable. You may experience a feeling similar to that of a rubber band being snapped on the skin, but most people do not report this sensation as painful.

You may experience temporary redness and a mild “sunburn”- like effect that may last a few hours to a few days.
