Reduce unwanted hair with laser hair removal in North Haven, CT. Treat the face, underarms, bikini, legs, back, and chest with long-term results. Laser Hair Removal Reduces unwanted hair for smooth skin with long-term results. Schedule Today Laser hair removal is a long-term solution for unwanted hair that uses targeted light energy to disable hair follicles, leaving skin smoother, softer, and virtually hair-free over a series of treatments. Long-term hair reduction + fewer ingrowns Best For Between 15–60 minutes (area-dependent) Treatment Time Face, underarms, bikini, legs, back, chest (most common) Areas Treated Typically a series; commonly spaced ~4–6 weeks apart Results Timeline What Is Laser Hair Removal and How Does It Work? Laser hair removal works by delivering concentrated light energy into the hair follicle, where it's absorbed by pigment and converted to heat. That heat damages the follicle enough to prevent future hair growth without harming the surrounding skin. Because hair grows in cycles and the laser only targets follicles in the active growth phase, a series of treatments is needed to catch every hair at the right time. Most clients see significant reduction after the first few sessions, with smoother, longer-lasting results building over the full treatment plan. Laser hair removal can be done almost anywhere on the body, including the face, underarms, arms, chest, back, stomach, bikini line, legs, and more. It's a great option for anyone tired of shaving, waxing, or plucking, and for those who deal with ingrown hairs or irritation from traditional hair removal methods. Modern lasers are safe and effective for a wide range of skin tones and hair types, though the treatment works best on hair with enough pigment for the laser to target. During your consultation, we'll look at your skin, hair, and goals to make sure it's the right fit and map out a plan for the areas you want treated. A typical appointment can take anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour depending on the size of the area. Smaller areas like the upper lip or underarms are quick, while larger areas like the legs or back take longer. The sensation is often described as a warm snap against the skin, similar to a rubber band. Our lasers have built in cooling to keep you comfortable, and most clients tolerate the treatment really well without any numbing needed. For the best results, most people need 6 to 8 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, though this varies based on the area being treated and your individual hair growth. Hormonal areas like the face and bikini line sometimes need a few extra sessions or occasional maintenance down the road. You'll start noticing less hair, slower regrowth, and finer texture after just a few appointments. There's very little downtime with laser hair removal. Some redness and mild swelling around the follicles is normal right after treatment and usually goes away within a few hours. You'll want to avoid sun exposure, hot showers, saunas, and intense workouts for 24 to 48 hours after each session, and sunscreen is a must between treatments since sun exposure can affect how well the laser works and increase the risk of irritation. Shaving is fine between appointments, but waxing, plucking, and threading should be avoided since they remove the follicle the laser needs to target. Laser hair removal isn't recommended if you're pregnant, have an active skin infection in the treatment area, or are using certain medications that increase light sensitivity. We'll go over your full health history during your consultation to make sure you're a good candidate and build a treatment plan that fits your goals. Book Your Appointment Patient Photos Treatment Information Side Effects Temporary redness, warmth, or mild swelling around follicles (“goosebump” look) can occur; occasional sensitivity.

Support thicker-looking hair with PRF Hair Restoration in North Haven, CT. Address thinning hair and shedding with regenerative scalp support. PRF Hair Restoration Uses your body’s growth factors to support thicker hair and reduce shedding over time. Schedule Today PRF Hair Restoration uses your body's own growth factors to stimulate dormant hair follicles, improve scalp health, and encourage thicker, fuller hair growth, all without medications, surgery, or downtime. Thinning hair + shedding support Best For Between 45 to 60 minutes Treatment Time Scalp (thinning areas/hairline/crown) Areas Treated Assessed after starting; best with a series Results Timeline What Is PRF Hair Restoration and How Does It Work? PRF stands for Platelet-Rich Fibrin, and it's one of the most effective natural treatments available for hair thinning and early hair loss. The process starts with a small blood draw, similar to what you'd have at a routine physical. We spin your blood in a specialized centrifuge to separate out a concentrated layer packed with platelets, white blood cells, stem cells, and fibrin. That fibrin piece is what sets PRF apart from the older PRP version. Because no anticoagulants are added, the growth factors are released slowly over days and weeks instead of all at once, which gives you a longer, more powerful healing and regenerative response. When PRF is injected into the scalp, those growth factors get to work waking up dormant hair follicles, improving blood flow to the area, and encouraging the follicles to produce thicker, healthier strands. It also helps extend the growth phase of your hair cycle, which is a big part of why hair starts looking fuller over time. PRF doesn't create new follicles, but it can revive the ones that are still there but underperforming, which makes it especially effective for people in the early to mid stages of hair thinning. PRF hair restoration is a great option for both men and women dealing with thinning hair, receding hairlines, widening parts, or overall loss of density. It's also helpful for clients who want to boost the results of other hair loss treatments like minoxidil or finasteride, or who aren't ready for a hair transplant. It can even be used after a transplant to support healing and improve the density of the newly placed grafts. During your consultation, we'll look at your scalp, talk through your history and goals, and figure out whether PRF is the right fit for you. A typical PRF hair appointment takes about an hour. We start with the blood draw, usually just one or two small vials depending on the area being treated. While your sample is spinning in the centrifuge, we'll cleanse your scalp and apply a topical numbing cream to keep you comfortable. Once the PRF is ready, it's injected into the scalp in the thinning or affected areas using a very fine needle. The injections are quick, and most clients find the treatment very tolerable, especially with numbing. Start to finish, the actual injection portion takes about 15 to 20 minutes. Downtime is minimal. You might have some mild tenderness, redness, or slight swelling on the scalp for 24 to 48 hours, similar to what you'd feel after a workout. Some clients notice a bit of tightness or a dull headache the first day that resolves quickly. You'll want to avoid washing your hair, using hair products, intense workouts, saunas, and alcohol for the first 24 hours, but after that you're back to your normal routine. Results from PRF are gradual and build over time. This is not a quick fix, it's a regenerative treatment, so patience pays off. Most clients notice reduced shedding within the first 4 to 6 weeks, followed by new baby hairs and thicker regrowth over the next 3 to 6 months. For the best results, we recommend a series of 3 to 4 sessions spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every 6 to 12 months to keep the results going. Consistency really matters here, and clients who complete the full series tend to see the most dramatic improvement. PRF hair restoration isn't a good fit if you have certain blood disorders, take blood thinners, are pregnant or breastfeeding, have an active scalp infection, or have certain autoimmune conditions. It also works best on follicles that are still active, so if you've had complete hair loss in an area for a long time, PRF may not be effective there. We'll go over your full health history and scalp condition during your consultation to make sure it's the right treatment for you and to build a plan tailored to your goals. Book Your Appointment Patient Photos Treatment Information Side Effects Scalp tenderness, tightness, swelling, or mild bruising; temporary headache is possible. Treatment Downtime Minimal. Some sensitivity for 24–48 hours. Treatment Aftercare Avoid washing hair for the timeframe your provider recommends, skip heat/sweat the day of treatment, and avoid harsh scalp products briefly. Enhancements A series is usually recommended; pair with a consistent at-home hair routine for best support. Suitable For Clients with thinning hair or shedding looking for regenerative scalp support; consult required to determine the cause of hair loss.

IV Therapy delivers custom vitamins, minerals, and hydration directly into your bloodstream for fast, effective absorption. Boost energy, immunity, recovery, and skin health with our tailored drips. IV Therapy Hydration + vitamins are delivered directly for fast replenishment and recovery. Schedule Today IV Therapy delivers a custom blend of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and hydration directly into your bloodstream, giving you faster, more complete absorption than anything you can take orally and a noticeable boost in energy, immunity, recovery, and overall wellness. Hydration support + wellness boosts Best For Between 30 to 60 minutes Treatment Time Arm/hand IV site (systemic benefits) Areas Treated Often felt same-day (an hour for many) Results Timeline What Is IV Therapy and How Does It Work? IV Therapy, short for intravenous therapy, is one of the most effective ways to flood your body with the nutrients and hydration it needs to function at its best. When you take vitamins or drink fluids orally, a big portion of what you consume gets filtered out through your digestive system, so only a small percentage actually makes it into your bloodstream. IV therapy completely bypasses that process by delivering everything straight into your veins through a small IV line, meaning your body absorbs nearly 100 percent of what's being infused. That's why a lot of clients feel a noticeable difference by the end of their session, whether it's more energy, clearer skin, less brain fog, or just feeling like themselves again after a rough week. We offer a range of IV drips formulated to target different goals. The Myers' Cocktail is our classic all-around drip, combining B vitamins, Vitamin C, magnesium, and calcium to support energy, immunity, and overall wellness. Our Hydration drip is a go to for dehydration, hangovers, travel recovery, or hot weather and combines fluids with electrolytes for quick rebound. The Immunity drip is loaded with high dose Vitamin C, zinc, and B vitamins to support your immune system, especially during cold and flu season or when you feel something coming on. Our Beauty drip typically features biotin, Vitamin C, and glutathione to support glowing skin, stronger hair, and healthier nails from within. The Recovery drip is great for athletes or anyone recovering from intense workouts, with amino acids, B vitamins, and electrolytes to rebuild and replenish. We also offer NAD+ drips for cellular repair, energy, mental clarity, and longevity, which have become increasingly popular for clients focused on anti-aging and brain health. Every drip can be customized based on your goals, symptoms, and what your body actually needs. IV Therapy is a great fit for almost anyone, but it's especially helpful if you're dealing with low energy, frequent illness, chronic fatigue, stress, jet lag, hangover, poor sleep, dehydration, recovery from a hard workout or illness, dull skin, brain fog, or nutrient deficiencies. It's also a favorite for clients prepping for big events, traveling frequently, training for athletic goals, going through a demanding season at work, or just wanting to feel proactively healthier. During your consultation we'll talk through how you're feeling, what your goals are, and your health history to recommend the right drip or combination. In some cases we may suggest bloodwork to make sure we're targeting the right nutrients for you. A typical IV Therapy appointment takes about 30 to 60 minutes depending on the drip you choose. You'll sit in a comfortable chair while a licensed provider places a small IV in your arm. Most clients describe the needle insertion as a quick pinch that lasts just a second. From there, the drip slowly flows into your bloodstream while you relax, read, scroll, or even take a nap. Some drips can be given as a quick IV push if you're short on time, which takes closer to 15 minutes. We can also add specific nutrients, vitamins, or anti-nausea and anti-inflammatory medications to customize your experience. Downtime is essentially zero. You might have some very mild soreness or a small bruise at the IV site that fades within a day or two. Some clients feel a cool sensation running up the arm during the drip, or a flushed feeling as the nutrients circulate, both of which are normal. NAD+ specifically can cause a mild flushing, pressure in the chest, or nausea during the infusion, which is why we always run it slowly over a longer period. Once your drip is done, you're free to go about your day, including exercise, work, or events. Results vary based on the drip and your individual body, but most clients feel a difference within a few hours to the next day. Hydration and Hangover drips often deliver near-immediate relief. Myers' Cocktail and Immunity drips tend to give a boost of energy and wellness that lasts several days to a week. Beauty drips show up as glowier skin over the following week or two with consistent sessions. NAD+ and Recovery drips build with consistency, and clients who do them regularly tend to see the most dramatic results over time. For most IV therapies, we recommend weekly or biweekly sessions to start, then shifting to monthly maintenance once you're feeling the benefits. IV Therapy pairs well with other wellness and aesthetic treatments like vitamin injections, peptides, GLP-1s, PRF, and skin treatments. It's a solid foundation for anyone wanting to invest in how they feel and function, not just how they look, and a lot of clients build it into their routine as a regular part of self care. IV Therapy isn't recommended if you're pregnant or breastfeeding without provider approval, have certain kidney or heart conditions, have a known allergy to any of the ingredients in the drip, or are on medications that could interact with high dose nutrients. We'll go through your full health history during your consultation, and in some cases we may recommend bloodwork first to make sure the drip we're giving is the right one for your body and goals. Book Your Appointment Patient Photos Treatment Information Side Effects Possible mild bruising, soreness, or a small bump at the IV site; occasionally lightheadedness or flushing. Treatment Downtime None. Most clients go right back to their day. Treatment Aftercare Hydrate, eat normally, and keep the IV site clean; avoid heavy lifting with that arm if it feels tender. Enhancements Come well-hydrated, avoid alcohol right before/after, and choose a blend aligned with your goals (energy, recovery, hydration). Suitable For Adults seeking hydration and wellness support; not ideal during illness, pregnancy, or for certain medical conditions. Review in consultation.

Hydrate and smooth the lips with Skinfill Bacio in North Haven, CT. This regenerative treatment supports softer, fuller-looking lips. Skinfill Bacio A regenerative biostimulator that boosts collagen for firmer, smoother-looking skin. Schedule Today Skinfill Bacio is an innovative lip booster treatment that uses hyaluronic acid and Vitamin B12 to deeply hydrate, revitalize, and subtly enhance the lips, giving you softer, plumper, more defined lips that still look like your own. Lip hydration + smoother lips Best For Between 15 to 30 minutes Treatment Time Lips (and fine lines around lips, as needed) Areas Treated Often best as a series of 3 treatments Results Timeline What Is Skinfill Bacio and How Does It Work? Skinfill Bacio is a lip treatment from Promoitalia, the same Italian aesthetics company behind the Mermaid Facial. It's often called an "internal lip gloss" because unlike traditional lip filler, it's not designed to add significant volume or change the shape of your lips. Instead, Skinfill Bacio works by delivering a powerful combination of non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid and Vitamin B12 into the lips and the area around them to deeply hydrate, restore lost moisture, and bio-restructure the tissue from within. The result is softer, smoother, healthier looking lips with a subtle, natural plumpness that actually looks like great lips instead of done lips. The science behind Skinfill Bacio is what makes it different. The hyaluronic acid in the formula is non-cross-linked, meaning it behaves differently than the HA in traditional fillers. Instead of staying put in one spot to create volume, it spreads through the tissue, binds water, and deeply hydrates the lips from the inside. The Vitamin B12 component supports cellular renewal, collagen production, and healing, while also improving microcirculation to give your lips a healthier color and glow. Together, the two ingredients work to strengthen the lip tissue, smooth out fine lines, and restore the natural fullness that gets lost with age, sun exposure, smoking, and everyday life. Skinfill Bacio is a great option for a lot of different clients. It's perfect if you want softer, more hydrated, naturally fuller lips without the look of traditional filler. It's also ideal for anyone dealing with perioral lines (those fine lines that form around the mouth), dry or chapped lips that never seem to fully heal, loss of lip definition, or faded lip color. It's commonly used on its own, before or alongside traditional filler to prep the tissue and extend filler longevity, or as a middle ground for clients who want a little something without committing to filler. It also pairs beautifully with the Mermaid Facial since they come from the same product line. A typical Skinfill Bacio appointment takes about 30 to 45 minutes. We start by cleansing the area and applying a topical numbing cream for about 15 to 20 minutes to keep you comfortable. The treatment can be delivered two ways, either through small, precise injections or using a lip stamping or microneedling technique that creates tiny channels to infuse the product evenly across the lips and perioral area. Both methods are very well tolerated, and most clients describe the sensation as mild prickling or tingling. It's quick, gentle, and doesn't come with the pressure or squeeze of traditional lip filler. Downtime is minimal. You may notice some mild swelling, redness, or tiny bumps at the injection points right after treatment, but these usually settle within a few hours to a day. Some light bruising can show up occasionally but fades quickly. Your lips might feel slightly tender for 24 hours, and we recommend avoiding hot drinks, spicy foods, lipstick, intense workouts, saunas, and alcohol for the first day or two. Try not to touch or massage the area so the product can distribute and absorb evenly. Results build gradually. You'll notice softer, more hydrated lips within a few days, and the real glow up shows up over the next 1 to 2 weeks as the hyaluronic acid integrates and the Vitamin B12 stimulates cellular renewal. Your lips will look plumper, smoother, and better defined, with fine perioral lines softening over time. For the best results, we recommend a series of 3 to 4 sessions spaced about 2 to 4 weeks apart. Once you've finished your initial series, maintenance treatments every 2 to 3 months keep your lips looking their best, though results from a full series can last up to 6 to 12 months depending on your skin and lifestyle. Skinfill Bacio isn't recommended if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, have an active cold sore or skin infection in the treatment area, have a known allergy to hyaluronic acid or Vitamin B12, or have certain autoimmune conditions. If you have a history of cold sores, let us know during your consultation so we can pre-treat with antiviral medication to prevent a flare. We'll go over your full health history and goals during your appointment to make sure it's the right fit and build a plan tailored to what you want to achieve. Book Your Appointment Patient Photos Treatment Information Side Effects Temporary tenderness, mild swelling, or redness in the lip area. Treatment Downtime Minimal. Most clients resume normal activities right away. Treatment Aftercare Avoid heavy lip friction, extreme heat, and intense workouts for 24 hours; keep lips hydrated. Enhancements Great before events.

Refresh dull, textured skin with PRF Skin Therapy in North Haven, CT. Boost collagen and improve tone, texture, and acne scarring. PRF Skin Therapy Uses your body’s platelets to support collagen production, improve tone, and texture with EZ Gel. Schedule Today PRF Skin Therapy uses your body's own platelets, stem cells, and growth factors to naturally rejuvenate your skin, stimulate new collagen, and restore a healthier, more refreshed appearance without fillers, chemicals, or synthetic ingredients. Dullness + fine lines + texture + acne scarring Best For Between 45 to 60 minutes Treatment Time Face (often neck/under-eye add-on) Areas Treated Peak collagen changes often 3 to 6 months Results Timeline What Is PRF Skin Therapy and How Does It Work? PRF stands for Platelet-Rich Fibrin, and it's the next generation of the original PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment. The process is simple but powerful. We start with a small blood draw, similar to what you'd have at a routine physical, and spin it in a specialized centrifuge. The centrifuge separates out a gold-colored, gel-like layer that's packed with platelets, white blood cells, stem cells, and fibrin. That fibrin piece is what sets PRF apart from PRP. It acts as the natural scaffolding your body uses to repair tissue, and because no anticoagulants are added to the process, the growth factors release slowly over days and weeks instead of all at once. That slow release is what gives you a longer, more effective healing response and better skin quality that keeps improving over time. PRF Skin Therapy can be used two different ways depending on what you want to address. It can be injected directly into areas like under-eye hollows, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and fine lines to add subtle volume and stimulate your body's own collagen production. Because the product comes from your own body, it integrates naturally without the risk of allergic reaction or rejection, and it's especially popular under the eyes where traditional fillers can be tricky. The second option is applying PRF topically during microneedling, sometimes called a vampire facial, where the growth factors absorb into the deeper layers of your skin through the micro-channels created by the microneedling device. This approach is incredible for overall skin quality, texture, tone, and glow. PRF Skin Therapy is a great option for a wide range of clients. It's especially effective for anyone who wants a natural approach to skin rejuvenation, who isn't ready for traditional filler, who's dealing with under-eye hollows or dark circles, who wants to soften fine lines, or who wants to get more out of their microneedling results. It's also a favorite for clients with sensitive skin or those who've had bad experiences with synthetic injectables. Because PRF works by signaling your own body to build new collagen and repair from within, the results look incredibly natural. You don't look "done," you just look like a better, fresher version of yourself. A typical PRF Skin Therapy appointment takes about an hour. We start with a quick consultation to confirm your goals, then do the blood draw, usually just one small vial. While the centrifuge processes your sample, we'll cleanse the treatment area and apply a topical numbing cream. The actual injection or microneedling portion takes 20 to 30 minutes, and most clients find it much more tolerable than they expected. You'll have your own PRF ready to use within about 15 minutes of the blood draw. Downtime is minimal. You can expect some redness, mild swelling, and possibly a little bruising at injection sites for 1 to 3 days. PRF injected under the eyes can sometimes create a puffiness that lasts a few days to a week as everything settles, which is actually a sign of the growth factors doing their work. Microneedling with PRF tends to leave the skin pink and slightly sensitive for 24 to 48 hours, similar to a mild sunburn, with some light flaking as your skin turns over. Makeup is fine the following day. We recommend avoiding intense workouts, heat, saunas, and alcohol for 24 to 48 hours, and skipping active skincare ingredients like retinol and acids for a few days while your skin heals. Because PRF works by signaling your body to build new collagen, results build gradually, which is also why they look so natural. You'll usually notice better glow and hydration within the first week. The bigger changes, firmer and smoother skin with improved tone and texture, come in over the next 4 to 12 weeks as new collagen forms. For the best results, we recommend a series of 3 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, followed by a maintenance session once or twice a year. Results typically last 12 to 18 months, and PRF pairs well with Botox, filler, and other skin treatments, so it can often be done in the same visit or spaced out by a few days. PRF Skin Therapy isn't a good fit if you have certain blood disorders, take blood thinners, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have an active skin infection in the area being treated. All of that will be reviewed during your consultation to make sure you're a good candidate and to build a plan tailored to your goals. Book Your Appointment Patient Photos Treatment Information Side Effects Temporary redness, swelling, bruising, or sensitivity; some clients feel warmth/tightness as skin begins repair. Treatment Downtime Low to moderate; depends on whether microneedling is included. Treatment Aftercare Keep skin clean and gentle, avoid active skincare briefly, skip heat/sweat for 24–48 hours, and wear SPF daily. Enhancements A series helps results build; pair with a consistent skincare routine and healthy hydration for best glow. Suitable For Clients seeking overall skin refresh (tone/texture/radiance) or targeted areas like under-eyes; consult required for best method.

Get smoother, brighter skin with dermaplaning in North Haven, CT. Remove peach fuzz and dead skin for an instant glow and better makeup application. Dermaplaning Gently removes peach fuzz and dead skin for a smoother, brighter complexion. Schedule Today Dermaplaning is a gentle, non-invasive exfoliating treatment that uses a sterile surgical blade to remove dead skin cells and soft, fine facial hair (peach fuzz), leaving your skin smoother, brighter, and instantly glowing. Dullness + rough texture + “peach fuzz” Best For Between 20 to 30 minutes Treatment Time Face (often cheeks, chin, upper lip, jawline) Areas Treated Immediate smoothness + glow Results Timeline What Is Dermaplaning and How Does It Work? Dermaplaning is one of the simplest and most effective treatments you can do to instantly refresh your skin. Using a sterile surgical blade held at a precise angle, your provider gently glides across the surface of your skin to sweep away built up dead skin cells and the fine vellus hair that sits on your face, commonly known as peach fuzz. That top layer of buildup is what makes skin look dull, rough, or flat, so once it's removed, what's underneath is smoother, brighter, and more radiant almost immediately. There's no chemicals, no heat, and no tools deeper than the surface. It's pure physical exfoliation. Dermaplaning is a great option for almost anyone who wants smoother, brighter skin with no downtime. It helps with dull skin, rough texture, fine lines, dry patches, and makeup that doesn't sit quite right because of peach fuzz. It's also a fantastic prep treatment before events since it leaves your skin looking incredibly fresh and helps foundation glide on flawlessly. A lot of clients add it to a facial or pair it with another treatment for maximum results. That said, dermaplaning isn't the right fit for active acne, cystic breakouts, or inflamed skin conditions like eczema or rosacea flare ups, since the blade can aggravate those areas. We'll go over your skin during your consultation to make sure it's a good fit. One of the most common questions we get is whether the hair grows back thicker or darker. It doesn't. The fine vellus hair that dermaplaning removes is genetically programmed to grow back the same way it was before, so you don't have to worry about waking up to stubble. The hair comes back soft and fine, just like it was, usually within 3 to 4 weeks. A typical dermaplaning appointment takes about 30 to 45 minutes. We start by thoroughly cleansing your skin, then gently glide the surgical blade across your face in short, precise strokes. There's no pain and no numbing needed. Most clients describe the sensation as a light scratching or tickling, and a lot of people find it genuinely relaxing. After the exfoliation, we'll follow up with a hydrating serum, moisturizer, and SPF to protect your freshly exposed skin. Dermaplaning has essentially zero downtime. Your skin might look slightly pink right after, but that usually fades within an hour or two. Because your skin has just been exfoliated, it's more sensitive to sun, heat, and active ingredients for the next 24 to 48 hours. Avoid direct sun exposure, hot showers, saunas, intense workouts, and products with retinol, acids, or strong actives for at least a day or two. Sunscreen is essential, both to protect your results and to prevent any post treatment sensitivity or pigmentation. One of the best parts of dermaplaning is that your skin becomes extra receptive to products right after. Without that layer of dead skin and fuzz sitting on top, serums, moisturizers, and treatments can absorb more deeply and work more effectively. That's why dermaplaning pairs so well with other treatments like facials, chemical peels, hydrating masks, or LED therapy. It's also a great add on before microneedling or laser treatments since it preps the skin for better product and energy penetration. Results are immediate. You'll walk out with noticeably smoother, brighter, softer skin, and makeup will look flawless if you choose to wear it afterward. The results typically last around 3 to 4 weeks, which lines up with your skin's natural cell turnover cycle, so most clients come in for dermaplaning once a month to keep that fresh, glowing finish going year round. Dermaplaning isn't recommended if you have active acne breakouts, cold sores, open wounds, sunburn, or certain skin conditions in the treatment area. We'll take a look at your skin during your appointment to make sure it's the right time for treatment, and if it's not, we'll recommend an alternative that works better for where your skin is right now. Book Your Appointment Patient Photos Treatment Information Side Effects Mild redness or sensitivity may occur; temporary dryness is possible. Treatment Downtime None. Most clients return to normal activities immediately. Treatment Aftercare Use gentle skincare for 24–48 hours, avoid harsh exfoliants/retinoids, and wear SPF daily.

Boost cheek hydration, smoothness, and glow with SkinVive Skin Booster in North Haven, CT at The Beauty Spot Medspa. SkinVive Skin Booster Hydrates from within to boost smoothness and glow with a natural, dewy look. Schedule Today SkinVive by Juvederm is an FDA-approved injectable skin booster that uses microdroplets of hyaluronic acid to deeply hydrate your skin from within, leaving your complexion smoother, plumper, and with a natural, dewy "glass skin" glow that lasts for months Cheek smoothness + hydration + glow Best For Between 30 to 45 minutes Treatment Time Cheeks + other common areas Areas Treated Lasts up to 6 months with optimal treatment Results Timeline What Is SkinVive and How Does It Work? SkinVive is the first and only FDA-approved hyaluronic acid microdroplet injectable in the United States, made by Juvederm. It's in a category of its own, often referred to as a "skin booster" or "injectable moisturizer" rather than a traditional filler. The key difference is that SkinVive isn't meant to add volume or change the shape of your face. Instead, it's delivered just beneath the surface of your skin in tiny microdroplets spread in a grid pattern, where the hyaluronic acid pulls in and holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water. The result is skin that looks and feels more hydrated, smoother, and more radiant from the inside out. SkinVive is a great option for anyone dealing with dry, dull, dehydrated skin, rough texture, crepey skin, or fine lines caused by dehydration. It works on all skin types and tones and is especially popular for the cheeks, but it can also be used on the neck, décolletage, hands, and other areas where you want that soft, lit from within glow. A lot of clients love it because it gives the skin a healthy, refreshed quality without changing anything about how they look. You still look like you, just with better skin. It's also a great complement to Botox and filler if you want a more complete plan. The way SkinVive works goes beyond surface hydration. The hyaluronic acid in the formula is cross-linked, which means it breaks down much more slowly than topical HA, and it actually increases aquaporin activity in your skin. Aquaporins are the proteins that move water between your skin cells, so boosting them helps your skin hold onto moisture better over time. SkinVive also signals your body to produce more of its own collagen and elastin, so you're strengthening the structure of your skin alongside the hydration boost. A typical SkinVive appointment takes about 20 to 30 minutes. We'll start by cleansing your skin and applying a topical numbing cream for 15 to 20 minutes to keep you comfortable. The product is injected with a very fine needle in a grid like pattern across the treatment area. Most clients describe it as a series of small pinches that are very tolerable. You'll likely see tiny bumps at each injection site right after, but those settle within a few hours, usually by the end of the day. Downtime is minimal. You might have some mild redness, swelling, or small bumps at the injection sites, which typically fade within a few hours. Occasionally there can be a little bruising that resolves in a few days. We recommend avoiding intense workouts, heat, saunas, and alcohol for 24 to 48 hours after treatment, and try not to touch or massage the area to let the product settle evenly. Makeup is fine the next day. Results from SkinVive are gradual but worth the wait. You might notice some immediate plumping and glow, but the real magic builds over the next 2 to 4 weeks as the product integrates with your skin and hydration levels rise. Your skin will feel softer, look smoother, and have a dewy, healthy finish. Results typically last around 6 months, sometimes up to 9 depending on your skin, lifestyle, and skincare routine. Many clients come back for maintenance treatments once or twice a year to keep that glow going. SkinVive isn't a good fit if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, have an active skin infection or inflammation in the treatment area, have a known allergy to hyaluronic acid or lidocaine, or have certain autoimmune conditions. We'll go over your full health history during your consultation to make sure it's a safe and effective option for you. Book Your Appointment Patient Photos Treatment Information Side Effects Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, bruising, or small bumps at injection sites. Treatment Downtime Minimal. Most clients return to normal activities immediately. Treatment Aftercare Avoid heat/exercise/alcohol for 24 hours and wear SPF daily; let any mild swelling settle naturally. Enhancement Tips Pair with a good skincare routine and plan 1–2 weeks before events for the smoothest finish.

Brighten and refine your skin with a SkinMedica Chemical Peel in North Haven, CT. Improve tone, texture, dullness, and fine lines. SkinMedica Chemical Peel Brightens and refines skin to improve tone, texture, and clarity. Schedule Today SkinMedica Chemical Peels are medical grade exfoliating treatments that gently remove the outermost layers of dulled, damaged skin to reveal brighter, smoother, more even-toned skin underneath while stimulating collagen production from within. Tone + texture + dullness + fine lines Best For Between 30 to 45 minutes Treatment Time Face (often neck/chest add-on) Areas Treated Facial peeling 2–5 days (peel-dependent) Results Timeline What Are SkinMedica Chemical Peels and How Do They Work? SkinMedica Chemical Peels are a professional strength line of peels designed to improve the overall texture, tone, and clarity of your skin with minimal downtime. They work by applying a carefully formulated solution of acids and active ingredients to the skin, which breaks down the bonds between dead, damaged skin cells and encourages them to shed. As that older, sun damaged surface layer sloughs off, fresh new skin is revealed underneath, and your body ramps up collagen and cell turnover in the process. The result is brighter, smoother, more radiant skin that looks and feels healthier from the inside out. SkinMedica offers three main peels, each designed for different skin types and goals. The Illuminize Peel is the most gentle option and is great for sensitive skin, first time peel clients, or anyone who wants a quick glow up with zero downtime. The Vitalize Peel is a medium strength peel that's ideal for mild to moderate concerns like fine lines, dullness, uneven tone, and early sun damage. It typically comes with 2 to 3 days of light flaking. The Rejuvenize Peel is the strongest of the three and is best for moderate to severe concerns like deeper pigmentation, melasma, acne scarring, and more noticeable sun damage. It can involve 5 to 7 days of more visible peeling, but the results are worth it. During your consultation we'll look at your skin, talk through your goals and concerns, and help you choose the right peel for where you are. These peels are effective for a wide range of skin concerns, including dullness, uneven skin tone, fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, age spots, melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, acne, acne scarring, large pores, and rough texture. They can be used on the face, and the Vitalize and Rejuvenize can also be used on the neck and chest. Because SkinMedica peels use formulations that include built-in anti-irritants and penetration enhancers, they deliver serious results with less irritation than many other medical grade peels on the market, and all three are safe for a wide range of skin tones when used appropriately. A typical SkinMedica Chemical Peel appointment takes about 30 to 45 minutes. We start by thoroughly cleansing and prepping your skin, then apply the peel solution in layers. You'll likely feel a mild tingling, warmth, or light stinging during application, which is completely normal and usually settles within a minute or two. We provide a handheld fan during treatment to keep you comfortable, and the whole active application only takes around 15 minutes. If your peel includes retinoic acid, you'll leave with a slight yellow tint on your skin that fades within a few hours. Downtime depends on which peel you choose. The Illuminize has essentially no downtime, just a little pinkness that fades in an hour or two. The Vitalize typically comes with mild flaking that starts on day 2 or 3 and resolves in about 5 days. The Rejuvenize involves more visible peeling that can last up to a week to 10 days. Your skin may feel tight, itchy, or look slightly red in the first day or two, similar to a mild sunburn. Do not pick or pull at flaking skin, let it come off naturally. Picking can cause irritation, uneven results, or even scarring. Aftercare is straightforward but important. Avoid direct sun, intense workouts, saunas, and sweating for at least 24 to 48 hours after your peel. Stick with a gentle, soap free cleanser and a hydrating moisturizer while your skin heals. Hold off on retinol, acids, benzoyl peroxide, exfoliants, and bleaching creams for at least 2 weeks or until peeling is fully complete. Sunscreen is absolutely non-negotiable. Wear a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every single day for at least a week after, and ideally always, since your skin will be more photosensitive during healing. Results are visible right away with the Illuminize and build over about a week with the Vitalize and Rejuvenize as your skin finishes turning over. For the best long-term results, we recommend a series of 3 to 6 peels spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart. Most clients come in every few months for maintenance peels once they've hit their initial goals. SkinMedica peels pair beautifully with other treatments in your skin plan, though you'll want to space them out properly, which we'll help you map out. SkinMedica Chemical Peels aren't recommended if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, have recently taken Accutane (typically within the last 6 to 12 months), have active cold sores, open wounds, sunburn, eczema or rosacea flares in the treatment area, or have a known allergy to aspirin or salicylates. We'll go through your full history during your consultation to make sure you're a good candidate and choose the peel that fits your skin best. Book Your Appointment Patient Photos Treatment Information Side Effects Tightness, dryness, redness, and visible flaking/peeling are common depending on peel strength. Treatment Downtime Ranges from minimal to moderate. Peeling often appears in the days after treatment. Treatment Aftercare Use gentle cleanser + moisturizer, avoid picking, avoid retinoids/acids until healed, and wear SPF daily. Enhancements Plan peels away from big events and follow a series for more noticeable tone/texture improvement. Suitable For Clients targeting dullness, uneven tone, fine lines, and texture; we’ll choose the safest peel level for your skin.

Improve texture, pores, fine lines, and acne scars with SkinPen Microneedling in North Haven, CT at The Beauty Spot Medspa. SkinPen Microneedling Stimulates collagen to improve texture, pores, fine lines, and acne scarring. Schedule Today SkinPen Microneedling is an FDA-cleared treatment that uses ultra-fine needles to create tiny micro-channels in the skin, kickstarting your body's natural healing process to build new collagen and reveal smoother, clearer, more radiant skin. Texture + pores + fine lines + acne scarring Best For Between 45 to 60 minutes Treatment Time Face, neck, chest (and targeted scars) Areas Treated Best as a series of three; 4-6 weeks apart Results Timeline What Is SkinPen Microneedling and How Does It Work? SkinPen is the first and only microneedling device cleared by the FDA, and it's backed by over 90 clinical studies for safety and results. The device uses 12 sterile needles to make hundreds of tiny, precise micro-channels in the surface of the skin. Your body reads those micro-channels as small injuries and jumps into repair mode, producing fresh collagen and elastin to rebuild the area. No chemicals, no heat, just your own skin doing what it already knows how to do, which is why it's considered one of the most natural ways to rejuvenate skin. SkinPen can treat a long list of concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, surgical scars, enlarged pores, stretch marks, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and overall dull or uneven texture. It works on the face, neck, chest, and even other areas of the body like the hands or stomach. Because it doesn't use heat or light energy, SkinPen is safe and effective for all skin types and tones, including clients who aren't good candidates for laser treatments. During your consultation we'll look at your skin, go over your goals, and put together a plan that makes sense for what you want to see. A typical SkinPen appointment takes about 45 minutes to an hour. We start by cleansing the skin and applying a topical numbing cream for about 30 minutes so you're comfortable during treatment. Once you're numb, we glide the SkinPen over the treatment area in a gentle stamping motion, and the adjustable needle depth lets us customize how deep we go based on the area and what we're treating. Most clients describe the sensation as a light buzzing with mild pressure. It's very well tolerated, and the treatment itself usually only takes 20 to 30 minutes. Downtime is minimal. Your skin will look pink and feel slightly tight or sensitive for 24 to 48 hours, kind of like a mild sunburn. Some light flaking or dryness can show up a few days later as your skin turns over. We recommend skipping makeup, workouts, saunas, and active skincare ingredients like retinol and acids for the first 24 to 48 hours. Avoid washing your face for at least 6 hours after treatment to let the micro-channels close, and wear a broad spectrum sunscreen daily since your skin will be more sensitive to UV exposure as it heals. One of the big advantages of SkinPen is that your skin is extra receptive to topical products right after treatment. That's why microneedling pairs so well with PRF (platelet-rich fibrin), where we apply your own growth factors during the treatment so they absorb into the deeper layers of skin through the micro-channels. It's sometimes called a vampire facial, and it boosts your results in a major way by supercharging the healing and collagen response. Results build gradually. You'll notice a glow and smoother texture within the first week, but the real changes show up over the next 4 to 6 weeks as new collagen forms. For the best results, most people need a series of 3 sessions spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart, and more intensive concerns like acne scars or stretch marks may need up to 6 sessions. Maintenance treatments once or twice a year keep your results going strong. SkinPen isn't recommended if you're pregnant, have an active skin infection, open wounds, or certain skin conditions in the treatment area. We'll go through your full health history during your consultation to make sure it's a good fit and build a plan tailored to your skin. Book Your Appointment Patient Photos Treatment Information Side Effects Redness, mild swelling, and a “sunburn” feel are common; dryness/flaking can follow. Treatment Downtime Low. Most redness improves in a few days, though some sensitivity can last up to a week. Treatment Aftercare Keep skincare simple (gentle cleanser + moisturizer), avoid actives/exfoliation briefly, and wear SPF daily once skin calms. Enhancement Tips Best in a series; avoid scheduling right before major events if you want zero redness. Suitable For Clients targeting texture, pores, fine lines, and acne scarring; consult required for active acne or certain skin conditions.
