Our Treatment

Skin Resurfacing

Acne Scar Reduction, Fine Lines & Wrinkle Reduction, Highly Beneficial for Enlarged Pores & Sagging Skin.

What is Skin Resurfacing?

At Skin Society, our Venus Viva Fractional Skin Resurfacing treatment infuses the power of laser microchannels and radiofrequency technology to naturally stimulate collagen, exfoliate the outermost layers of your skin and strengthen elastin, resulting in a lifted, tightened and smooth appearance in as little as one session. This treatment is beneficial for all skin types and concerns, including, but not limited to sagging skin, wrinkles, enlarged pores and acne scars.

PROCESS

If it’s your first visit with us, we will begin by conducting a consultation and skin assessment to ensure we have chosen the most suitable treatment for your skin type, skin concerns, and overall goals.

CLEANSE

We ensure your skin is completely dirt-free by removing any debris with a gentle witch hazel solution.

NUMBING CREAM

We want you to be as comfortable as possible throughout the duration of your treatment at Skin Society Bar. By applying a topical numbing cream, we can guarantee that you feel as comfortable throughout your procedure as possible.

DEGREASE

Once the skin is completely numb, your medical skincare therapist removes the numbing cream before beginning your laser fractional skin resurfacing treatment.

TREATMENT

The desired area can be treated in one session, whether it be your face or body.

AFTER TREATMENT

After your treatment is completed, your skin will be visibly red and slightly swollen. This is normal and indicates the treatment was performed properly.

PREPARATION

To prepare for your Fractional Skin Resurfacing treatment, ensure that you follow the steps and precautions below

Discontinue the use of topical retin-A products for 1 week prior to treatment.

Discontinue the use of auto-immune therapies or products for 12 hours prior to treatment

No aspirin or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory products for at least ten days prior to procedure

No prolonged sun exposure or sun burns in the treatment area 2 weeks prior to treatment

Skin should be make-up free on the day of treatment

POST TREATMENT

Your skin will appear pink for 1-2 days, resembling a mild-moderate sunburn. By day 3, your skin will feel dry and flaky. It is imperative that you do not pick or peel your skin and allow the natural shedding process to take place. Any rough and dry skin will flake off between day 3-7 after your treatment, resulting in a smooth, luminous, lifted tightened appearance. Your post-treatment care is the key to optimal and long-lasting results.
To ensure you get the most of your treatment, follow the steps below:

Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 7 – 10 days after treatment.

Absolutely no tanning beds throughout the duration of your treatment series

Apply broad spectrum UVA/UVB, chemical free sunscreen with SPF 30+, daily

No vigorous exercising or strenuous activity for at least 48 hours following the treatment

Do not apply make up on the same day of treatment

Avoid use of steam baths, saunas or swimming pools at least 48 hours following the treatment

Only use post-procedure skincare products prescribed by the practitioner to soothe, calm, and protect the skin until it is fully recovered and ready for normal skincare

No harsh exfoliants, or products containing AHA/BHAs, retinoids, or acidic products with pH level less than 4.5 or greater than 7 for at least 14 days aftertreatment
