Our Favorite HydraFacial Finishing Touches

One of the most popular treatments on our aesthetic side is the HydraFacial, which uses a patented Vortex-Fusion system to deliver deep penetration of active ingredients, such as glycolic and salicylic acids, as well as antioxidants and HA (Hyaluronic Acid)-rich serums, into the layers of the epidermis (skin). What makes our HydraFacial so amazing and versatile, is that our aesthetician, Griffin Churchwell, offers with it a complimentary Skin Care Consultation so she can customize a treatment plan to address each of your unique needs and more. At the Plastic Surgery Center of Nashville, we offer a wide variety of HydraFacial add-ons, finishing touches, and high-quality serums so that each HydraFacial is as unique as you are. The customization options are nearly endless and can be fit to care for every skin type and age group.

Not only will she work to ensure your in-office procedure gets the results you want, but you will also leave with careful instructions on how best to maintain to your skin’s healthiest incarnation because a HydraFacial works best when you support it at home with an intentional and informed skincare regimen. 

Treat yourself to our full range of services and see just what a glamorous transformation really means. We’ve compiled some of our favorite additions to go alongside the groundbreaking Hydrafacial. Read on to learn more. 

Perk!

You may have seen the headlines about Perk!, the world’s first hybrid facial to offer not only an in-office exfoliating treatment but take-home products to enhance your skin benefits, anywhere you want. This breakthrough product gives you the power of a cosmetic spa in the palm of your hand. Perk! works beautifully as an add-on with the  HydraFacial for relaxing and lasting results.

You will see immediate results and long-lasting benefits. Take the facial with you wherever you go and find that special pampered feeling in your daily life. After receiving your treatment at our office, you get the same product in a vial that lasts for an additional 30 days of treatments!

Perk! offers a suite of three targeted treatments that cater to your specific needs. If you are in the mood to boost your lips, replenish your eyes, or give your skin an instant glow–Perk! has your back. 

Perk! Lip Treatment

Your lips will be moisturized, smoothed and perfectly primed with this direct express product. You can go out assured you have that extra special pout and plumpness. The Lip Revitalizing Serum uses key ingredients such as peppermint oil and peony extract to gently exfoliate, hydrate, and lightly plump your lips. Just apply the Perk! lip treatment day or night whenever you need a hydration boost. 

Perk! Eye Treatment

Formulated especially for the delicate eye area, Perk! eye treatment awakens the skin around the eyes! Utilizing targeted and energizing green tea extract and citric acid, this quick service uses a multi-peptide blend to gently brighten, tone and firm the outer eye area while maintaining hydration.

Latisse

Latisse is one of our all-time favorite facial finishing touches. This groundbreaking treatment has been steadily growing in popularity since it hit the market in 2008. 

What exactly is it? Well, Latisse is the only FDA approved take-home eyelash enhancer available today. It is an amazingly powerful and clinically proven product, and a single eyedropper’s worth goes a very long way. Originally formulated for the medical field, patients using what was then called Bimatoprost found that they were across the board seeing longer, more lush lashes over a series of months. 

This high-end product has many competitors, but none who offer both FDA-approval and show results in clinical trials. Latisse extends the growth of your lashes and number of hairs, producing thicker, darker, dramatic lashes without a drop of mascara. 

Most patients begin to see results after using Latisse in as little as 4-5 weeks. If you choose to stop Latisse for any reason your lashes will gradually return to their normal state. 

What Results Can I Expect?

After 16 weeks, clinical study participants experienced these results: 

 

  • Eyelash length increased by 25 percent
  • Thickness and fullness increased by 106 percent
  • Eyelash darkness increased by 18 percent

 

To see full growth and thickening results, we recommend using Latisse for at least 8-10 weeks. 

Sciton laser 

The Sciton Laser is a groundbreaking aesthetic technological innovation that can be used for a number of varying procedures to top off your facial. These include:

A MicroLaser Peel

By scanning the MicroLaserPeel applicator over the desired treatment area, a thin layer of damaged skin is gradually removed to improve your face’s overall texture and provide a more youthful appearance.

As the skin heals, fresh young cells grow to resurface the treated areas, resulting in healthier-looking skin. Often with the added bonus of reducing wrinkles and improving your skin’s color evenness from tired to vibrant. 

The Sciton Laser’s precision of depth allows it to deliver superior results all in the comfort of our office. Beyond choosing a MicroLaser peel, the procedure can be even further customized to your skin type, desired outcomes, and any specific trouble areas. The MicroLaser Peel is effective in treating:

 

  • Mild wrinkles
  • Sun damage (e.g., freckles)
  • Skin texture and skin tone

 

And it only takes a single treatment! Though, if you love the results and want more? We are happy to schedule a regimen of regular peels to fit your needs. 

Does It Hurt?

One of the best parts of a MicroLaser Peel is that it causes little pain and no deep penetration into the skin. On shallow settings, most patients are fine without anesthetic. However, if you want a deeper peel, a topical numbing cream is typically used to ease any discomfort. 

Afterward, your aesthetician will give you instructions on how to care for your skin. Most importantly being that you will experience heightened UV sensitivity and should avoid direct sun exposure until healing is complete. 

BBL- BroadBand Light

The BroadBand Light, or BBL, module adds extra versatility to the results the Sciton Laser can provide. 

Through utilizing a broad range of wavelengths, the BBL treatment allows targeted treatments for many skin conditions and even hair removal.

The BBL uses CoolComfort technology to ensure your comfort and relaxation, and has been proven to work well treating:

 

  • Acne
  • Freckles and age spots
  • Vascular Lesions, such as cherry angiomas, telangiectasias, and rosacea
  • Deeper Lesions / Darker Skin Types
  • Hair Removal

 

ProFractional Therapy

The Sciton Laser ProFractional Therapy uses similar customizable and highly successful technologies, all while leaving surrounding skin intact to promote rapid recovery. A great option for people looking to see dramatic results with a quick turn around. 

Unlike its sibling treatments, which use full-field resurfacing to remove the entire surface area of a treatment site, ProFractional has a unique narrow-diameter approach that can target small areas. This technique covers a fraction of the surface area and initiates the body’s natural healing response, all while leaving surround skin intact and able to aid even faster recovery. 

ProFractional Therapy offers unparalleled patient comfort, very short healing times, and tunable results that can range from subtle to dramatic depending on your comfort level, experience, and goals. 

This procedure also plays well with others and works great alongside a MicroLaser Peel. In tandem, these procedures remove superficial irregularities and then stimulate collagen remodeling through deep, targeted removal of problem areas.

SkinTyte

SkinTyte works to provide safe and effective treatments tailored to all skin types. There is absolutely no downtime, and you can return to your regular activities immediately.

Utilizing advanced infrared light technology, alongside patient-tailored filters, SkinTyte deeply heats dermal collagen while continuously protecting the treated skin. Sapphire contact cooling technology provides you with safety and comfort. The energy is delivered in rapid, gentle pulses to promote the appearance of firmer tissue.
