Chemical Peels

A chemical peel is a cosmetic beauty treatment that can rejuvenate the skin of the face and other parts of the body and act as an anti-aging solution. As a result of chemical peels, skin irregularities in texture, such as fine lines, and color, such as sun-damaged spots, can be corrected.

Chemical peels are classified as light (or superficial), medium, and deep and differ in strength based on the acids used in their application. Sheperd Integrative Dermatology offers different chemical peels according to your individual needs and goals.

DiamondGlow™

The DiamondGlow™ treatment uses microdermabrasion, a technique used to gently remove the outer layer of skin, known as stratum corneum. As our skin cells turn over, we accumulate excessive dead skin, which leaves our skin dull and lackluster, making skincare products less effective and less absorbable. Essentially, this layer of skin provides a barrier between the skin and the elements. A healthy, glowing complexion is maintained by exfoliating and buffing away the skin with DiamondGlow™.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an injectable cosmetic treatment performed with a client's own blood. Among the components of plasma are stem cells and growth-enhancing platelets. The body naturally produces collagen and elastin when injected back into the skin, so it provides overall skin rejuvenation.
How is PRP obtained?

The first step is to draw a small sample of your blood. The plasma is then separated from the other blood particles in a centrifuge for approximately five minutes. Lastly, platelet-rich plasma is injected back into the treatment area, stimulating collagen and elastin production. The PRP procedure can restore hair and rejuvenate the skin around the eyes, face, cheeks, hands, décolletage, and neck.

Vivace

The Vivace laser combines microneedling, radiofrequency (RF), and LED light therapy. The Vivace laser treatment represents the next generation of skin rejuvenation. With Vivace laser treatment, fine lines, wrinkles, and other blemishes are diminished, and sagging skin is firmed and lifted for a more youthful appearance.

Results are seen quickly because of RF technology's ability to speed up collagen production. LED light therapy is used in conjunction with RF treatment to reduce redness and accelerate healing. With gold-tipped microneedles, the skin is more susceptible to nutrient serums. The treatments are said to be virtually painless, and due to the accelerated results, patients should be able to go out in public the next day.
