Facials in Albany
For our health and well being, proper skin care is as important as good nutrition and exercise. With that in mind, the aesthetic team at the Plastic Surgery Group, serving people in Albany, Schenectady and Saratoga, has developed an aesthetic program that offers the most advanced skin care treatments and a variety of makeup techniques. Seeing an esthetician before and after any cosmetic or surgical procedure will enhance post operative results.
During your initial visit, one of our licensed aestheticians will perform a thorough analysis of your skin. They will work with you to develop the best treatment regimen for your personal skin care needs. This can include both professional treatments and home care products.
Skin Care Therapies
Chemical Peel - An accelerated form of exfoliation perfected to improve the quality and appearance of skin. This treatment can reduce the appearance of fine lines, acne scarring, discoloration and precancerous lesions. The aestheticians have available to them several different types of peeling agents that are customized to fit individual needs. For optimal results, packages are available.
Power Peel (Micro-dermabrasion) - With the aid of micro-crystals, this form of exfoliation improves skin texture and appearance while stimulating collagen production. Acne scars, age spots and fine lines can become less obvious and skin will feel softer, smoother and more youthful looking. For optimal results, packages are available.
Micro-Dual Peeling - A technique that includes micro-dermabrasion followed by the application of AHAs, salicylic acid or Jessner's solutions. Multiple treatments are comparable to a deeper TCA peel, without the extended downtime. Packages are available.
Clarifying Facial - This clinical treatment for mild to moderate acne helps the skin heal and function more normally. Deep cleansing enzymes, extractions of impurities, and a customized mask are used to purify the pores.
Hydrating Facial - Revive even the most dry and dehydrated complexions with this long-lasting facial that super-hydrates dull looking skin to restore color, vibrancy and suppleness.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage - This healing therapy is designed to promote the normal healthy functioning of the lymphatic system in the face and neck. We recommend the treatment's rejuvenating properties before and after cosmetic surgery and laser resurfacing to maintain healthy skin and to minimize fluid retention, acne, and rosacea.
Laser Hair Reduction - Repeated treatments can result in a permanent reduction in the amount of re-growth of visible hair. Find out more about laser hair removal in Albany at the Plastic Surgery Center.
