About Skin Care
As you age, collagen–a protein that helps your skin maintain its structure and elasticity–naturally declines, resulting in fine lines and wrinkles that affect your appearance. Your lifestyle can also impact the appearance of your skin. Nutrition, diet, sun exposure, and smoking can all affect the appearance of the skin and cause accelerated aging. (1)
Due to the natural aging processes, unwanted fine lines and wrinkles appear and often worsen over time. (2) Skincare treatments can address these changes for smoother, more radiant skin. Our team can improve your skin’s collagen levels to reduce mild laxity, fine lines, and wrinkles for a more youthful appearance.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels use a special solution to exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin. The treatment can improve the appearance of blemishes, fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and acne. Some chemical peels can also address fine lines and wrinkles. Chemical peels come in different strengths to address different skin concerns, depending on your needs:
- Light: We can administer a light peel to resurface your skin barrier, reducing the appearance of acne scars and discoloration from sun damage for a smoother, more even complexion.
- Medium: With a slightly stronger peel, we can address fine lines, wrinkles, discoloration, and roughness to improve skin texture.
- Strong: A deeper peel can address sun damage, acne scarring, and skin conditions such as melasma.
We can select the best peel for your skin based on the condition of your skin and your aesthetic goals.

Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion exfoliates the skin with tiny, pressurized crystals. Aging, sun damage, acne scars, and discoloration can dull your skin; with microdermabrasion, Dr. Andan can remove impurities and debris from the upper layer of the skin for a softer, smoother appearance. We offer three kinds of microdermabrasion:
- Crystal: We can gently exfoliate the skin with small aluminum oxide crystals.
- Diamond: A specialized device with a diamond-coated tip exfoliates the skin to refresh its appearance and remove dead skin cells.
- Hydro-Derm: This device uses an abrasive tip and vacuum technology to administer pressurized crystals. It removes impurities while infusing a moisturizing serum into the skin for powerful hydration.
Although a single treatment can improve the appearance of your skin, a series can address deeper pigmentation, fine lines, and/or melasma.

Micro-Infusion Microneedling Therapy
Micro-infusion microneedling therapy stimulates collagen production with tiny needles that deliver nutrients to the skin to reduce signs of aging, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and dark under-eye circles. The needles penetrate the skin barrier, creating micro-wounds that are not visible to the naked eye.
A micro-infusion is a personalized cocktail of ingredients that can include Botox, hyaluronic acid, and vitamins to renew your skin. The needles deliver it just below the skin barrier to refresh your appearance. Botox relaxes key facial muscles to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a more youthful-looking complexion. With regular treatments, it can also prevent wrinkles from worsening.
How it Works
The treatment starts with a gentle cleanser, followed by a serum, LED light therapy, and moisturizing masks. The needles deliver the serum into the deeper layer of the skin at a depth of 0.25 to 3 mm to stimulate collagen production. Afterward, you can return to most of your normal activities, but you must avoid sun exposure to prevent skin damage that could affect your results.
Customizable Facials
We offer several customized facials to enhance your complexion and address specific concerns. Our treatments are appropriate for sensitive skin, and we can create a personalized plan based on your skin’s condition and unique needs.
Anti-Aging Lift And Peel Facial
An Anti-Aging Lift and Peel Facial can improve the tone and texture of your skin with a combination of specialized treatments for reducing signs of aging. We can nourish and balance the skin on your neck, décolletage, and hands with customizable masks that target hyperpigmentation and acne. Our uplifting massages and peptide-infused serums can restore your skin’s protein (collagen) levels to help it repair itself from sun damage.
We can also resurface your skin with enzymes and chemical peels to improve its tone and texture for a brighter, more even appearance. Our NuFace muscle stimulation treatments can tone your muscles for a firmer complexion as well.
Signature Deep Cleansing Facial
Our Signature Deep Cleansing Facial can remove impurities from the skin with extractions and accelerate skin cell turnover with firming masks that provide lasting hydration. We can cleanse the pores and increase your skin’s collagen levels for a firmer, more youthful-looking appearance.
We can also apply gentle ultrasound technology to deliver serum to the deeper layers of the skin and remove impurities with enzymes to help your skin renew itself. We can reduce inflammation with a gentle skin-balancing serum to address redness for a more even, radiant complexion.
Imperial Facial
An Imperial Facial refreshes your skin with a relaxing massage that balances the mind and body. During the treatment, we can renew your skin with microdermabrasion to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. We can also administer LED light therapy using carefully customized settings to eliminate bacteria.
Our nutrient-rich masks for the décolletage, neck, and arms hydrate and calm the skin, while our uplifting massages promote lymphatic drainage to help detoxify your body and remove impurities. We can also help our powerful serums penetrate the deeper layers of the skin with ultrasonic pulses of energy (needleless mesotherapy), while our state-of-the-art oxygen infusion provides a powerful glow.
During an Imperial Facial, there are several different types of massage we can perform to balance the body and mind:
