When it comes to non-invasive procedures, what’s best—a facial or a chemical peel? It completely depends on what you want to achieve, but for many people a chemical peel is best. We offer a variety of options at Parson Skin Center, but let’s talk about what this treatment entails. There are varying depths of peels, and a trend in recent years leans towards light or superficial peels. These peels are so light that, many times,...
Did you know “getting in shape” is one of the most popular New Year’s resolutions—and one of the quickest and easiest to ditch? If you’ve found yourself suddenly in swimsuit season but not in the shape you’d prefer, Emsculpt is available at Parson Skin Center. CultureMap just named it one of the top three non-invasive treatments of the year, and with good reason. Emsculpt tones and strengthens your muscles in a series of sessions without...
Are the latest treatments so advanced that the “end of injectables” is upon us? That’s what is suggested at CultureWhisper, thanks in large part to Morpheus8, but in reality Morpheus8 is just the latest (excellent) addition to a suite of tools and technologies that can help you achieve your skin goals. Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to tighten skin and address a myriad of concerns ranging from stretch marks to hyperpigmentation. It’s a...
Dermal fillers are usually associated with providing volume where you’ve always wanted it or restoring volume lost due to aging or weight loss. However, at Parson Skin Center, we have noticed an increase in younger patients opting for fillers as a preventative measure—also known as pre-juvenation. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons reports that 3.4 million dermal filler procedures are performed annually in the U.S. It is the second most popular minimally invasive procedure undertaken...
What does an oxygen dome facial do (besides make you look really futuristically awesome?). It quickly became one of the most-requested facials at Parson Skin Center and is beloved by celebrities like Madonna and Ashley Graham. The overall goals of an oxygen facial is to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, amp up blood circulation, and help with collagen production so that your skin looks younger, brighter, and healthier. Since the body needs oxygen, oxygen facials...
Dermal fillers and HA fillers are nearly synonymous, but did you know there are non-HA fillers? HA, or hyaluronic acid, naturally occurs in the body and draws water to the area. This means that a synthetic form of HA is ideal for fillers in just about every part of the body. HA fillers are a temporary way to make or restore volume, and they are one of the most popular injectables at Parson Skin Center....
Oops—did your New Year’s resolution to hit the gym get put on the back burner? Don’t worry. At Parson Skin Center, we have Emsculpt to help you quickly set a solid foundation for toning and sculpting muscles (or take your current fitness to the next level). Emsculpt does require a series of sessions spaced one month apart, usually 4 – 6 sessions depending on the target site, but if you start right now you’ll definitely...
Combination treatments typically yield the best results, and at Parson Skin Center we love to combine ResurFX with microneedling. ResurFX is the latest non-ablative, fractional laser from Lumenis, designed to help with discoloration, wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, and more. A non-ablative laser doesn’t “ablate” (ahem, destroy) skin cells. The fractional part means that it’s only targeting a fraction of the skin at a time. In other words, you can get gorgeous results with little...
Recently, a TikTok video went viral when a woman claimed she popped what she thought was a pimple after getting Botox—but it was actually a Botox bubble. Parson Skin Center has Botox as the most popular treatment (of course), which erases lines and wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause them. Botox has been a staple procedure for men and women alike for decades, and there are some common best practices and aftercare tips...
Celebrities are getting more and more candid with their beauty tools and tricks, with Eva Longoria recently highlighting Morpheus8 microneedling as one of her favorite tools for turning back the clock. It’s also one of the most-requested treatments at Parson Skin Center. Morpheus8 is a kind of advanced microneedling that became TikTok famous, and is suitable for the face, neck, and body. According to Longoria, after her son was born she was exercising and eating...
