Dreaming of the Perfect Beach Photo? Let's Prep Your Skin

We're just a few short months from the start of spring break and travel season. Let's break through the winter blues by getting our skin ready for our dream vacation! We sometimes conflate winter with being an easier season for treatments and that's simply not the truth. Winter brings its own concerns when caring for our skin - it's just easier to avoid the temptation of excess time in the sun. This lower risk of UV exposure makes winter an ideal time to treat pigment concerns.

But our first concern in the winter is dryness. All day we go back and forth from the frigid cold air, to the overly heated indoor air, and then we take the hottest showers available just to stay warm. All of which pull water out of our pores and leaves us drier! With this lack of water, our skin molecules constrict, damaging our skin barrier. Repairing that barrier with medical grade products and intentional hydration is the first step toward healthy, successful treatments.

With those preparations, we're ready to treat your skin before you begin jet setting around the world this spring.

Chemical Peels

Peels address any number of skin surface concerns. From fine lines and roughness to uneven pigmentation, there's something for everyone. Peels at The Confidence Bar range from gentle, with Sensi Peel, to medium depth with VI Peel.

Sensi Peel is a gentle chemical peel designed for all skin types, including the most sensitive skin. Sensi Peel is infused with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory ingredients that brighten your complexion. It promotes a healthy, radiant glow with very minimal downtime. Ideal for those seeking a balanced, rejuvenating treatment without irritation. With Sensi Peel we can control the depth of treatment as it strengthens skin, exfoliates, and provides a light refresh in 2-3 days.

VI Peel has a few formulas to specifically address your skin concerns. VI Peel Precision+Peptides lifts existing pigment and suppresses melanin production for a smoother complexion. It is ideal for melasma, UV damage, and is safe on all skin tones.

VI Peel Purify with Precision+Peptides erases scars and hyperpigmentation caused by acne breakouts. It is ideal for active acne, post-acne scarring, and oily congested skin. Your practitioner will help select the formula best suited to your skin type and needs.

MOXI & BBL HEROic

Have you noticed how so many members of our team have had a Glow Up over the past year? MOXI and BBL HEROic are to thank! We're all obsessed with seeing the gradual improvements to our skin tone and texture that we've achieved over this past year.

Laser and light therapies are a perfect combination with the low winter sun, allowing safe recovery time.

This targeted treatment blends the power of Broadband Light (BBL) and non-ablative laser (MOXI) to address visible signs of aging and improve skin clarity, texture, and tone. These treatments have minimal downtime with absolutely incredible results. The combo targets pigmentation and sun damage, stimulates collagen growth, and refines skin tone and texture for a radiant complexion. While they can be used separately, using them in combination will bring you the glowing skin of your dreams.

Microneedling

You didn't think we'd forget our favorite in this list, did you? Microneedling is the skin rejuvenation that makes everyone look their best. The device creates micro-injuries that promote cell turnover and lead to fresher, smoother, more even-looking skin. Microneedling is ideal for reducing the appearance of enlarged pores, refining rough skin, and evening out pigmentation such as sun damage or age spots.

Take your treatment to the next level by adding customized regenerative boost. Adding Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) isolates growth factors from your own blood to contribute regenerative healing properties. Adding Exosomes includes a nano-particle that promote tissue repair, collagen synthesis, and regeneration. Microneedling is good for every season, and every day - but especially in the winter when there is no excessive heat outdoors.
