This treatment begins with a Silk Peel Dermal infusion treatment followed by an application of a concentrated protein bio-serum. The dual combination of this treatment rejuvenates dull & dehydrated skin, stimulates collagen and softens lines and wrinkles. During the treatment our Esthetician will massage the initial serum application into the skin and the remaining vials will be sent home with the patient to complete at home over a 7 day period. Your skin will feel plump, hydrated and youthful. Results typically last for weeks after treatment.

Oxygen Facials

The oxygen facial is rapidly becoming recognized as a skin care essential. At our La Jolla office in San Diego, our esthetician provides this treatment to generate new skin cells and promote the production of collagen and elastin. Oxygen facials also act as a bactericide (for acne), reduce inflammation, hydrate, and nourish while soothing and pampering the skin.  The treatment uses medical grade oxygen to infuse hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, and vitamins deep into the skin.  The patient can see an immediate reduction of lines and the restoration of volume and fullness to the skin. Oxygen facials are also routinely recommended to help soothe the skin and speed up recovery after laser treatments.

Chemical Peels – Glycolic, Vitalize, Jessner’s and Beta Lift

We offer a wide range of Chemical Peels for all skin types and conditions. Helping to dissolve away the dead skin cells, they leave behind more balanced and refined skin. Depending on the strength, some peels will result in at least a small amount of downtime, during which the dead skin will visibly flake and peel off. Following this stage, the “new” skin will appear smoother and more even in texture and tone. These peels will help with acne, acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, and blotchy, uneven pigmentation, as well as stimulate new cell growth.

Peels Offered by Jennifer Familo:

  • Glycolic
  • Vitalize (Jessner’s & Retin A)
  • Jessner’s (mixture of mild natural acids)
  • Beta Lift (salicylic acid)

BLU-U® – Blue Light Acne Therapy

Blue light acne therapy (BLU-U®) is an FDA-approved procedure for the treatment of patients with mild to moderate acne, and can be used on the entire range of skin colors and types and colors. BLU-U® is an effective, non-invasive, pain-free treatment for acne that works by destroying the bacterias that cause it. Treatments are simple, safe, and comfortable – you simply sit with your face close to the BLU-U® light for a short amount of time, one to two times weekly for four to six weeks. After a few weeks, the BLU-U® light can control your acne or clear it up for one or more years without the use of medication or drugs.

Acne Treatment

For acne prone skin types, a great way to clear-up and help prevent breakouts is the Acne Facial. Our Medical Esthetician, Jennifer Familo, will treat you to a gentle steam, deep cleanse and exfoliating scrub, preparing your pores for the actual treatment. Next she will perform extractions of blackheads and hard-to-treat milia, followed by a customized treatment mask. Lastly, a moisturizer and sun protection will be applied. Your skin may be mildly sensitive post-treatment, but this will subside.

Our European Facial is customized by our Licensed Medical Esthetician for your specific skin type and condition to help you achieve your unique skin care goals.

The European Facial cleans and exfoliates while using a gentle steam to purify and nourish the skin. In addition, each facial includes a relaxing massage to the neck, chest and shoulders, an individualized treatment mask, moisturizer, and sun protection.
