Types of Services Offered

Medical spa services Pacific Beach offer a variety of services, including cosmetic injectables, such as dermal fillers, chemical peels, Microdermabrasion, hair restoration, dermaplaning, and laser treatments.

• Dermal Fillers – Dermal fillers are a type of soft injectable gel consisting of stabilized, non-animal hyaluronic acid. This type of material is perfect for adding volume, plumping up skin, and reducing the appearance of lines and folds. Results last from 6 to 9 months and give natural looking results that do not affect facial expressions. Some examples of dermal fillers can also include Botox.

• Chemical Peels – Chemical peels consist of a variety of acids that address the upper and middle layer of skin to achieve revitalized skin. Chemical peels often improve the appearance of skin, minimize signs of aging, brighten skin tone, and reduce hyperpigmentation. Chemical peels are recommended for clients with skin imperfections, acne, oily skin, red stretch marks, and Folliculitis barbae. A minimum of 4 sessions are required, with a recovery time of 1 to 2 days.

• Microdermabrasion – Microdermabrasion is considered a minimally invasive medical procedure. It is often used to renew overall skin tone and texture. Microdermabrasion is considered safe for all skin types and tones. It is believed to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, sun damage, age spots, fine lines, acne scars, melisma, enlarged pores, and stretch marks.

• Hair Restoration– Hair restoration services include plasma treatments that restore the look and feel of hair after hair thinning and hair loss. This treatment provides increased blood flow to the hair follicles, which improves hair thickness and hair quality. One example of plasma treatment is Autologous Platelet Rich plasma (A-PRP), which exploits the regenerative potential contained in platelets, inducing tissue repair and new tissue generation.

• Dermaplaning – Dermaplaningis a quick and easy treatment, often requiring only 30 minutes to complete. Dermaplaning removes dirt, oil, blackheads, and dead skin cells using a medical blade. Dermaplaning reveals brighter and more even skin. Treatment can be repeated every 2 to 4 weeks, if needed. Recovery time is minimal, with slight redness to be expected the following day.

• Laser Treatments – Laser treatments can be broken down into several categories. For example, IPL or Intnesed Puled Light therapy can be used for hair removal, skin rejuvenation, collagen stimulation, vascular and pigmented lesions, acne, skin toning, anti aging efforts, psoriasis, and stretch marks.

For laser hair removal, one session is recommended every 20 to 30 days. An average of 6 to 8 sessions is often required, depending on the severity of the issues, and skin and hair type. An average of 6 sessions is required for most people to see optimal results, while many individuals see results in as little as one session.

For laser facials, the amount of treatments is similar as well, with one treatment every 30 to 60 days, and an average of 6 to 8 sessions required. In particular, this time frame is recommended for skin brightening and toning. For laser facials specifically targeting acne, one to 10 sessions is required, with one session every 7 to 14 days. It is recommended to wait no longer than 14 days between sessions for optimal results. For skin resurfacing laser facials, 3 to 7 sessions are required, with one session every 30 days. Skin resurfacing improves skin texture, reduces dark spots, stimulates collagen production, and reduces the visibility of scars.

Laser tattoo removal is also available at many medical spas. 6 to 15 sessions are recommended, depending on type and size of tattoo.
