Complexion

Conveniently located to serve the areas of Santa Monica and Los Angeles

Most women want to be freed from the burden of having to wear makeup every day to conceal their skin. Men want to feel confident in their skin as well. Everyone wants a clear complexion. Over time, as a result of sun and other environmental damage, as well as changes in our hormones and the aging process, there is a change in the complexion of our skin. There are brown spots, red spots, tanned spots and broken blood vessels. Additionally, over time there could be a growth of various spots on the skin that are unattractive, if not malignant.

About Skin Tone and Skin Type

Your skin tone and skin type both play an important role in how your complexion looks and feels. The whole complexion is made up of your natural color, and the combined qualities of your skin texture, and the level of hydration your skin maintains. External factors such as sun exposure and the use of harsh chemicals can negatively affect your general appearance, while good skincare habits help you look fresh faced with radiant skin.

Fair Skin

Those with fair skin or a lighter complexion may show redness or signs of irritation more easily. Those with fair tones are more prone to sensitive reactions and need protection from excess sun exposure. Choosing gentle products without harsh chemicals and prioritizing hydration can improve your general appearance while preventing premature aging. With proper care, a light complexion can maintain a smooth texture and a youthful glow.

Dark complexion

A dark complexion tends to be more resilient to sun exposure and often ages more gracefully thanks to its natural melanin. However, this skin tone can still show uneven texture or symptoms such as dryness if hydration is neglected. We recommend products designed to support the body’s natural balance and avoid harsh chemicals.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How does Fraxel help improve skin clarity?

    Fraxel works by creating controlled micro-columns of energy in the skin with fractional laser technology, which stimulates collagen production and accelerates cell turnover. This process helps fade sun damage, dark spots, and fine lines, leading to more even skin tone by building new collagen.

  • What skin concerns can chemical peels address?

    Chemical peels use exfoliating solutions to remove damaged outer layers of skin, improving acne, pigmentation, dullness, and uneven texture. Depending on the depth, they can also soften fine lines and help unclog pores for smoother, clearer skin.

  • Can Fraxel and chemical peels be combined?

    Some patients benefit from combining the two treatments. Typically, they are done at different times to avoid irritation, with chemical peels maintaining or enhancing the results of a Fraxel session.

  • How many sessions are needed for visible results?

    Fraxel usually requires three to five treatments spaced weeks apart for optimal improvement, while chemical peels vary depending on type. Light peels may be repeated monthly, while deeper peels are done less frequently.

  • Is there downtime with Fraxel or chemical peels?

    Fraxel involves a few days of redness, swelling, and peeling, while downtime from chemical peels depends on their strength (light peels may have minimal flaking, deeper peels may have more noticeable peeling).

  • Who is a good candidate for Fraxel or chemical peels?

    Most healthy adults seeking clearer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin are candidates. However, those with very sensitive skin, certain medical conditions, or recent sun exposure should be evaluated by a provider before treatment.

  • How do results differ between Fraxel and chemical peels?

    Fraxel penetrates deeper into the skin, making it more effective for long-term collagen remodeling, fine lines, and deeper pigmentation. Chemical peels are ideal for surface-level issues, such as acne, uneven texture, and mild discoloration. Deeper depths can be used as well for wrinkle reduction or acne scars.
