Oxygenating & Detoxifying Facials
Oxygen Trio
$ 105
Time: 45 min. This is an antioxidant therapy to correct and prevent free radical damage as oxidative and environmental stress to the skin is one of the more significant contributors to the aging process. This treatment helps stimulate respiration and circulation within the skin. It helps promote healing and rejuvenates sluggish, stressed skin depleted by toxins, pollutants, allergens, improper diet and solar damage. Acneic conditions also benefit greatly.
Detox Treatment
$ 105
Time: 45 min. This treatment is an excellent choice for detoxifying all skin types. Its active blend of lactic, glycolic and salicylic acids effectively penetrates pores to dissolve impactions and blackheads, kill bacteria, reduce inflammation and remove excess cell debris to leave the skin hydrated, purified and clear. With its strong antibacterial and antioxidant action, this treatment is a gentle, deep pore cleanser.
MICRONEEDLING
PDRN, Multipeptides, HA
$ 350-799
Microneedling helps reduce the signs of aging, improve the appearance of acne scars and rejuvenate aging skin. In one study of 60 patients with acne scarring, three microneedling treatments resulted in a 31 percent improvement in skin texture, with no discoloration of the skin. Microneedling was effective for all skin types. Is appropriate for all skin types. The Dr.Pen microneedling device creates hundreds of tiny micro-channels in the skin with minimal damage to the epidermis. Dr.Pen disrupts the junctions between the skin cells, temporarily disrupting the skin’s barrier function. This brief, mechanical disruption does not cause the melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) in the epidermis to react by increasing pigment production and darkening the skin in a process called hyperpigmentation. Therefore, Dr.Pen can be used on all skin types, including darker skin that is more susceptible to hyperpigmentation. Can be used on many body parts. The Dr.Pen needle depth adjusts from .25 mm up to 2 mm, allowing the provider to tailor the treatments to the patient’s particular skin thickness as well as his or her needs. Dr.Pen’s variable needle depth makes it more versatile than traditional rollers, and it can be used efficiently on many parts of the body. Has minimal risk of infections or scarring. Dr.Pen doesn’t remove or damage the epidermis and doesn’t trigger the inflammatory pathway, meaning infections and scarring are unlikely.
Retinol Exfoliating Skin Treatments
Ultra Peel® II
$ 110

It is a cream mask containing natural phytohormones which plump, hydrate and moisturize aging skin. The retinol (vitamin A) content helps increase cell turnover to keep skin looking fresh, while vitamin C strengthens the skin by helping to increase the skin’s collagen and elastin network. Ultra Peel® II works well on all skin types and conditions.
Esthetique Peel™
$ 110
Time: 30 min. Esthetique Peel™ is an excellent choice for smoothing, firming and brightening all skin types even extra-sensitive skin, including rosacea.

Micropeel
$ 150

This treatment involves a two-step process; first microdermabrasion buffs away the dull outer layer, second a chemical peel is immediately applied to absorb deeper into the dermis. Rapidly promotes cell renewal resulting in the diminishing of wrinkles. Increases collagen formation for tighter, supple skin and lightening of hyperpigmentation to even out skin tone. Leaves your skin radiant and glowing!
Most Commonly Asked Questions
How much downtime is expected with a peel?
There is no downtime whatsoever with Physician’s Choice™ chemical peels. You can actually receive a peel on your lunch hour and return to work.
When will I start ``peeling``, for how long and how much?
Everyone’s experience will be different. However, on an average, you will see flaking by day two or three following the treatment. It is possible to see flaking for up to five or six days. With all Physician’s Choice™ peels, only light to medium exfoliation will be experienced.
How irritating is a peel?
PCA peels are only slightly irritating. You may experience mild burning or stinging, which is transient.
What is the difference between the PCA Peel® versus the Ultra Peel™
The Ultra Peel™ is less sensitizing than the PCA Peel® due to the complexity of the formula. The PCA Peel® has more of a drying effect and the Ultra Peel™ has a more moisturizing effect. The PCA Peel® formulas have more instant lightening ability, whereas, the Ultra Peel™ lightening process is more gradual.
Why would Ultra Peel™ II be applied, and when?
Ultra Peel™ II will ensure more flaking and peeling post-treatment. It can be applied after any Physician’s Choice™ treatment or it can be very mild treatment used alone.
What peels can be used on someone who frequently works out?
Someone who frequently works out can have any peel but must wait 48 hours after the treatment to exercise. If you don’t want to wait, the Non-Burning Facial Peel is a great choice. This treatment uses our Ultra Peel™ II which is an acid-free, time-released retinol cream. It has a delayed flaking action that creates no irritation or downtime and leaves the skin glowing and hydrated.
My skin is very thin. Why would I want to peel? Wouldn’t that make my skin thinner?
If your skin is dry and thin, often there is a buildup of dead cells that actually keep your home care products from penetrating. Having an Ultra Peel™ treatment will remove the surface buildup, hydrate the skin and give it a more plump, “thicker” appearance. The use of Vitamin C products in the treatment, as well as in your home care program, will help to build the collagen in your skin, thus making it stronger and more durable.
Can someone use Retin-A® or Accutane® have any Physician’s Choice™ treatments?
We generally recommend that Retin-A® use is stopped five days prior to a peel and five days post treatment because of potential irritation and uneven peel penetration. Accutane® users tend to have very dry and sensitive skin and need to be treated only with peels that are appropriate for their skin type. We have found that the Physician’s Choice™ peel solutions are Accutane® friendly. However, your skin care specialist should always be made aware of any Retin-A® or Accutane® use.
