There are many signs of aging we overlook until it happens to us, including sagging knees. However, skin laxity in this area isn’t inherently a sign of getting older—in fact, it’s also known as “model’s knee” in very slender patients thanks to the phenomenon happening in so many models due strictly to low body fat. For years, the only option for sagging knees seemed to be a knee lift, but New Beauty now recommends Emsculpt...
If you have the lingering signs of acne—hyperpigmentation, light scarring, and shallow pits—you understandably want to get rid of them for good. But which is better, microneedling or a chemical peel? Both are available at Parson Skin Center and we can help match you with the right choice for you during a consultation. However, a recent study published in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology might sway you. Researchers found that microneedling is better...
A small, recent study has been making headlines because it is excellent clickbait—it reports that in a group of 45 volunteers, those who got their COVID booster and routine Botox experienced Botox results that “might be less effective” than normal. Botox is a mainstay of medical day spas like Parson Skin Center, and we want to stress that getting Botox is no reason to not get your COVID booster if that is your preference. However, there...
“My lower abs are super defined” says Pia Velasco, who shared her journey with Emsculpt in a recent InStyle article. There’s a reason it’s one of the top non-invasive treatments at Parson Skin Center—and it’s the perfect complement to a healthy, active lifestyle. Like a lot of people, Velasco had spent years doing hundreds of crunches with little to no results. She has also been an athlete her entire life, so she knew what she...
A nurse in Australia, Tarryn Gapic, recently shared with the Daily Mail how she used Morpheus8 microneedling to cure herself after struggling with acne for years. This innovative form of microneedling, which pairs traditional microneedling with the delivery of radiofrequency (RF) energy, quickly became one of the most requested treatments at Parson Skin Center. It takes microneedling to the next level, creating a hybrid treatment that gives patients a double whammy of therapy. According to...
Sculptra, a type of collagen induction injectable, just made a News24 list of the hottest procedures for 2023—and at Parson Skin Center we couldn’t agree more. Unlike hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, the most popular and common type of dermal filler, Sculptra is a collagen bio-stimulator that tells your body to produce more of its own collagen. Collagen is the building block for plump, youthful skin but we make less of it naturally as we get...
Laser skin rejuvenation and microneedling as individual treatments are already powerful—but what if you combined them? There are many lasers to choose from at Parson Skin Center, and the best one to pair with microneedling is ResurFX. It’s designed to address scars, fine lines, and sun damage with minimal downtime. The most common side effects are redness and light peeling that can last up to one week, but when it comes to lasers the most...
Why settle for one treatment when you can get two at the same time? That’s what Morpheus8 offers, the revolutionary skin tightening treatment that celebs like Kim Kardashian and Jessica Simpson can’t get enough of. Now available at Parson Skin Center, even though Morpheus8 is often called a skin tightening treatment, it does so much more. Kim Kardashian shared her experience on Instagram in 2022, calling it a “game changer” while Simpson calls it her...

If you have acne scarring, you don’t have to live with it forever. One of the best treatments for acne scarring is a chemical peel, and at Parson Skin Center we offer an array of chemical peels suitable for your personal skin tone and type. One major contraindication of all peels is open lesions, which means no current breakouts that have open heads. However, if you’re simply looking to clear up acne scarring—or the myriad...
