so it's not easy staying out of the Sun
when you live here in Florida so we want
to help you maintain healthy skin
joining me now are Kim Lindsay and
Allison K Zion with Ponte Vedra plastic
surgery
thank you very much for being here -
appreciate it okay so first of all I
think that people get a little confused
sometimes Allison when they think about
going and getting something that helps
them specifically with their face and
their skin care how does what you offer
how is it different from what you might
find at a spa so as a medical
esthetician we are able to reach in the
dermal layer sits below the epidermis
when we accomplish this through medical
grade products and medical grade facial
treatments and some of the necessarily
things that that spas offer correct so
are there particular things then that we
all can do particularly as we age it is
tough staying out of this out of the Sun
when you live in Florida I'm constantly
cover my face putting sunscreen on B you
know I was at the water park with my
kids and you just get it just even if
it's just reflective so there are
certain things then that can kind of
minimize that or kind of take away some
of the some damage that we have yeah so
the most important thing is to wear
sunscreen to reapply is specially during
the summer months so there's a lot of
skin care treatments that we offer at
Ponte Vedra plastic surgery so it's
going to be based off this the concern
of the patient okay and so Kim do you
want to just show us is this
particularly associated with the hydro
facials that we use it's foliate and you
do a light chemical peel which is just a
glycolic and salicylic pill and and then
the end of it you just infuse it with
hyaluronic acid peptides and all the
skins all the things that the skin loves
so it's interesting we've got some
before and after pictures also Allison
that maybe you can kind of help move us
through before is on the left the after
it's on the right is this and this is
specifically really because you know you
think about you know treatment to your
face you're like oh they're gonna take
some laser it's going to be painful but
if this is just basically kind of creams
and a little bit of acid is there a lot
of downtime no so so this is actually a
very quick treatments 30 minutes it's
very deep cleaning I like to tell my
patients is like pressure washing the
skin so it's very deep cleaning it's
going to help with texture pore size
pigmentation
so we're using about five different
solutions into the skin it does come
with a light exfoliation but it there's
no downtime you're gonna have no
residual peeling at all and are these
then permanent or do you need to go back
let's say every three to four weeks and
have this same procedure so again it's
going to depend on the concern of the
patient and how often they need to come
back typically you want to come back
three to four weeks if we're trying to
correct something and then I would say
about six to eight weeks if you're in a
maintenance so is there some are there
any other things that people can do
other than the hydro facial as an
example yes you also kind of you know
reverse the test of time so to speak
with sun damage yep so we have an array
of services so we do numerous chemical
peels to help reverse the signs of aging
we have a new cryo corrective pen
there's clean brilliant laser we have
our skin pen so there's definitely a
numerous options that we do offer and
and do each of those the skin pen is the
example those kind of elevate perhaps
some downtime at all or they just really
focus on different things so they're all
going to focus on the same thing as far
as reversing the signs of aging and
pigmentation and pore size and texture
and fine lines but the downtime is going
to vary for per procedure so the skin
pan the clearing brilliant laser and the
Hydra facial have no downtime it's very
very minimal the appeals or you're gonna
get into some flaking some people
consider that a little downtime and what
price range would you say from the Hydra
facial to the others what's the range it
would start at 95 and it can go to 450
