Skin Texture & Dullness
Smooth, refined, lit-from-within.
"My skin looks tired" is one of the most common consult-day statements we hear — and it's rarely one thing. Dehydration, dead-cell buildup, missing exfoliation, and underlying collagen loss all contribute. We untangle it.

How we actually fix it.
For a quick, event-ready reset we lean on dermaplaning, a gentle enzymatic facial, or a light chemical peel. For lasting improvement we add microneedling (texture), SkinVive (hydration), or a medium-depth peel depending on the skin. Most patients on a regular schedule land on a monthly signature facial plus one deeper treatment every few months.
What we reach for.
01Mermaid Facial
Signature multi-step facial
Our signature multi-step facial combining exfoliation, extractions, serums, and LED for an immediate, photoshoot-ready glow.
Why Our signature multi-step facial — exfoliation, extractions, serums, LED. A house favorite.
02Dermaplaning
Gentle physical exfoliation
A gentle physical exfoliation that removes dead skin and vellus hair ('peach fuzz') for an immediately smooth, luminous, makeup-ready finish.
Why Physical exfoliation for immediately smoother, makeup-ready skin.
03Chemical Peels
SkinMedica & VI Peel
Customizable medical-grade chemical peels for brightening, acne control, and pigment correction. We carry two lines: SkinMedica's three escalating depths for gradual, tailored resurfacing, and the VI Peel Precision Plus — a medium-depth peel purpose-built for stubborn pigment, melasma, and sun damage.
Why Resets the surface — brightens dull skin and smooths texture.
04SkinPen Microneedling
FDA-cleared microneedling
The only FDA-cleared microneedling device. Ideal for acne scars, fine lines, and overall texture improvement — with or without PRF.
Why Rebuilds collagen for lasting texture improvement.
05SkinVive Skin Booster
Intradermal hydration
Intradermal hyaluronic-acid microdroplets that improve cheek hydration, skin smoothness, and that coveted 'lit-from-within' glow — for up to six months.
Why Intradermal hyaluronic acid for deep hydration and glow.
06Radiesse
Hyperdilute calcium hydroxylapatite
Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), heavily diluted so it spreads across larger areas and works as a biostimulator rather than a volumizer — waking up your own collagen and elastin to firm and smooth the skin. We use it most for the neck, the décolletage (FDA-approved in 2026), the hands, and non-surgical body tightening.
Why Hyperdilute calcium hydroxylapatite improves crepey texture and skin quality on the neck, chest, hands, and body over a few months.
07Sculptra
Poly-L-lactic acid biostimulator
An FDA-approved poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) biostimulator that prompts your body to rebuild its own collagen over several months — restoring soft volume and improving skin quality across the face, and (off-label) the décolletage, hands, and body. The result looks like your own skin, because it is.
Why Collagen biostimulator that gradually refines crepey, lax-textured skin on the face and body.
