About Skin Remedy MD

At Skin Remedy MD, you benefit from the education and training of the aesthetic staff, under the guidance of Dr. Charles Slack. Our aesthetic treatments compliment the surgical procedures offered by Dr. Slack so that we can create a truly customized plan for each patient. Looking better or maintaining your look longer is a continuum, with different treatments needed at different stages of life. Quality, medically proven, skin care is the beginning of that continuum, with surgery reserved for the later stages. Between these two, Botox, fillers, collagen stimulators and skin resurfacing all have a role. Our mission is to collaborate with our clients to create a quality, medically appropriate plan that will meet their goals as well as to provide them with the knowledge, understanding, and confidence to continue that care for a lifetime.

Our Treatments

HydraFacialĀ®

The HydraFacial MD treatment includes cleansing, exfoliating, and hydrating, with the added benefits of Vortex infusion of antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid into the skin. This treatment is fully customizable, based on your skincare needs and concerns. It delivers instant results, with visibly refined skin, a uniform complexion, and a hydrated glow.

Why we love the HydraFacialĀ®:

Itā€™s the perfect lunch time procedure, with no downtime! You can resume your active lifestyle immediately after.

Itā€™s for everyone, including those with the most sensitive skin. It addresses skin texture, uneven skin tone, skin firmness, elasticity, oily and congested skin, and enlarged pores. It can also help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles through hydration.

The HydraFacial is beneficial to long-term skincare by providing deep cleansing and exfoliating that helps our skin to function optimally. It also allows the products we use to penetrate the skin more efficiently and thus be more effective, providing essential hydration, which not only makes the skin look healthy and more vibrant. The skin becomes more resilient to environmental aggressors and free radicals that age the skin. Hydration is essential to maintaining this barrier that keeps your skin happy, healthy, and more hydrated over time, resulting in a more youthful appearance.

Customized solutions can be added for brightening, calming, hydrating, firming, restoring, smoothing and refining your skin. Clients may opt to add eye or lip treatments, LED light therapy, and lymphatic drainage depending on their needs.

How does it work?

HydraFacialĀ® uses a unique, patented Vortex-Fusion delivery system. Every facial includes:

Vortex-Exfoliationā„¢ ā€“ to remove dead skin cells

Vortex-Peelā„¢ ā€“ a glycolic and salicylic acid peel

Vortex-Extractionā„¢ ā€“ painless suction to clear the pores

Vortex-Fusionā„¢ ā€“ to nourish and protect the skin

While you will see immediate improvement in your skinā€™s appearance after a single session, youā€™ll see the most improvement and longest-lasting benefits after about six monthly sessions. After that, occasional maintenance sessions will help keep your skin glowing.

 


 

Average Procedure Time: 45 minutes

Skinbetter Science AlphaRet Professional Peel System 30

The AlphaRet chemical peel by Skinbetter Science uses a proprietary blend of Alpha and Beta-Hydroxy acids, in combination with a patented retinoid to improve the overall skin tone, texture, clarity and brightness for patients. It is safe for all skin types and tones, but most appropriate for those with mild skin imperfections and photodamage.

While you will see noticeable improvements after one peel, youā€™ll see the most improvement if done in a series of three treatments, 4 weeks apart. We then recommend maintenance peels to help keep your skin clear, bright and smooth.

Venus TriBellaā„¢

3-in-1 Total Facial Treatment

TriBella 3-in-1 total facial treatment combines the power of three non-surgical procedures into one complete skin renewal treatment, resulting in smoother, tighter, healthier looking skin. This high-intensity non-invasive solution gives highly visible results faster and in fewer treatments.

TriBella combines photofacial (Venus Versa), micro-needling (Venus Viva) , and radio frequency treatments (Venus Freeze) into one treatment sessionā€” making it the most comprehensive and effective answer for complete skin renewal.

Venus VivaĀ® (Skin Resurfacing)

The Venus Viva is an advanced, non-invasive treatment that improves skin texture by delivering energy deep into the skin, using tiny electrode pins to create micro-dermal wounds with minimal impact to the epidermis. As the skin heals, it naturally boosts collagen and elastin production for skin renewal.

This treatment smooths out uneven skin texture, scars, rosacea, enlarged pores, stretch marks, and other skin textural conditions.

This procedure is safe for all skin types, regardless of age or color and offers rapid recovery. You may experience mild redness after treatment, but you can return to your normal activities immediately after treatment. You can start wearing make-up again the next day.

Results can be seen after only one treatment, but 3-4 treatments are recommended for optimal results. Treatments are typically done a month apart. Maintenance treatments two or three times a year are beneficial.

Venus VersaĀ® (IPL Treatment)

Venus VersaĀ® is a safe Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment that reverses the signs of premature aging due to sun exposure. The procedure delivers a precise wavelength of light that penetrates into the deeper layers of skin. This allows it to target the exact depth necessary to address your specific skin concerns. The light restores and rejuvenates sun-damaged skin at the molecular level. It even stimulates production of elastin and collagen so improvement continues for weeks after treatment.

This treatment corrects discoloration, fades age spots, reduces sun damage, removes small blood vessels and improves skin tone.

Treatments last 15-20 minutes and are virtually pain-free due to a unique cooling mechanism on the machine. After the treatment is complete, patients can immediately return to normal activities, with redness or blotchiness lasting for up to 1-2 hours after the treatment. Because the treatment covers a larger area, fewer treatments are needed to achieve optimal results. The severity of sun damage present determines the number of treatments needed, but 3-4 treatments is customary, typically performed three weeks apart.

The Venus FreezeĀ® Skin Tightening

Freeze Time, Reverse Aging

Time can slowly take its toll on just about any part of the body. From laugh lines to sagging triceps to cellulite, these signs of aging creep up over time.

The Venus FreezeĀ® softens facial lines; firms loose skin and fat pockets on the face, arms, and around the bra strap; contours the abdomen; and lifts the buttocks. These desirable results come from a non-invasive treatment that uses radio frequency and pulsed electromagnetic fields to tighten collagen fibers as well as increases collagen production within the skin, yielding tighter, firmer skin.

Three TriBella treatments are recommended for optimal results, with 4-5 weeks in between treatments. Optimal results are visible approximately three months after the last treatment. For maintenance, we recommend one treatment every six months.

Alternatively, Venus Viva, Venus Freeze and Venus Versa treatments are offered individually to best suit your needs.

VI Peels

VI Peels produce quick results for softer, younger looking skin through non-invasive methods. Chemical peels can help soften textured skin, improve dull skin, and add moisture to the skin. VI Peels are also fantastic for UV induced pigmentation, sun damageā€” which are some of the most common signs of aging, as well as melasma, that is otherwise very difficult to treat.

For those with acne, VI Peels help to balance oil production in the skin, fade post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and reduce acne scarring.

VI Peels also help create new collagen and elastin, resulting in some reduction in fine lines, and some slight lifting & tightening as well.

VI Peels involve applying a chemical solution to the skin, and because of the phenol in the formula, this is virtually painless. On day three, you start peeling, which can last up to 10 days, with days 3-5 being the most intense. After the skin loosens and falls away, it allows the new skin to appear from beneath. We send you home with an aftercare kit, which is included in the price of the peel, and includes everything you need for the next 7-10 days. You will see a dramatic difference in skin color, texture, and tone. The skin feels softer, smoother, and has a healthy glow to it.

Every skin type and skin tone can benefit from a VI peel.
