As our social calendars are filling up, it is time to think about getting our skin presentable! We asked Dr. Norris at Nicole Norris MD Medical Spa what her favorite event procedures are to get skin glowing for social events. She not only answered all our questions but also revealed a new three-month membership that they recently rolled out that they have named the Red Carpet Skin Trio!

What are your 3 favorite event treatments to get skin glowing?

“We always like to combine treatments on the face to get the best results. The more time we have prior to an event the better one can expect to look as well. A customized medium to deep chemical peel can give amazing results but needs to be done 2-3 months prior to the event so the body has time to stimulate the most collagen and elastin and clear sun damage.

Another chemical treatment that does not cause peeling but does lift the skin, shrink pores, and stimulate collagen called Biorevitalization is also wildly successful in our office. With one Biorevitalization treatment you, can see an immediate difference in your skin and the unique part of this procedure is that we can include the neck and décolleté in addition to the face.

Lastly, HydraFacial MD is a part of everyone’s plan who wants to look their best for an event. Our HydraFacial machines deliver components of a facial but are also one of our most sought-after anti-aging procedures.”
 

Tell us more about chemical peels.

“In a doctor’s office, we can customize chemical peels to your skin type and provide more than just superficial exfoliation. We mix acids in order to get the skin glowing with the least amount of downtime and the most change in the skin’s dermis. A chemical peel in our office is most often a medium or deep peel depending on your skin type and the health of your skin. We provide post-procedure products with our peels so that patients typically only have micro-peeling and not skin sheeting. Depending on the type of peel, we ask our patients to plan for 3-5 days of erasure shaving like dryness post peel. Your skin takes 3-6 months to realize the full benefit of a chemical peel so the more time we have prior to an event the better.”

How do Biorevitalization treatments work?

“These European treatments utilize a powerful chemical peel but work from the inside out to soften lines, tighten skin and improve texture and pores. Patients often choose for us to apply this treatment to not only their face, but also their neck and décolleté. Immediately after the procedure, patients notice improvement to their skin and so we offer this as an event treatment. However, Biorevitalization results get better over time and are amplified by stacking the treatments four to five times a month for those who are inclined.

What are the elements of HydraFacial?

“HydraFacial in a doctor’s office is not just a facial. It also is an anti-aging procedure that stimulates collagen, improves skin laxity, and lightens brown spots. The first step is Hydradermabrasion which is safe for all skin types and conditions. This step provides significant anti-aging benefits. The next step is a superficial chemical peel for exfoliation. In step 3 we utilize the HydraFacial vacuum to clean out all your pores. The HydraFacial also has a pressurized system that we use to push Hydrating products into the skin which is utilized in step 4. In step 5, we use red or blue light therapy to calm inflammation or provide an antibacterial effect in break-out prone skin. There is no downtime with HydraFacial, and it is best done just before an event combined with dermaplaning. HydraFacial, like all of these procedures, produces a great result with one treatment but results are amplified with a series of treatments. New to our practice is a three-month Red Carpet Skin Trio membership which includes one each of the afore-mentioned procedures. It is a fantastic way to get your skin ready for an event or just to indulge in three medical-grade skin care procedures!”
