A List of Facial Services

Intense Pulsed Light

Intense Pulsed Light Therapy (IPL) removes sun and age spots from your face, arms, chest, and neck. While some lasers are better suited to improving the appearance by resurfacing the skin, IPL targets pigment below the skin surface to reverse signs of aging and sun damage without the downtime of laser resurfacing. Intense Pulsed Light Therapy also reduces redness caused by rosacea.

Photo Facials

Treatment of Wrinkles and Redness, Management of Large Pores and Skin Texture, Laser Genesis skin therapy is an innovative, technologically advanced way to promote vibrant and healthy looking skin in men and women. By gently heating the upper dermis well below your skin's surface, Laser Genesis stimulates collagen regrowth. Additional heat is generated in dilated capillaries to reduce redness. You will see a more even, healthy complexion as large pores are reduced in size, and minor imperfections are diminished.

Birken Medical Aesthetics will be premiering its newest fractionated Pearl Laser Facial soon. Much like the Fraxel Laser Facial, the Fractionated Pearl Facial will improve skin texture, remove pigment, tighten skin and smooth wrinkles.

Titan™

Titan™ is a non-invasive method of tightening the skin and reducing fine lines and wrinkles. A medical professional applies the device to the skin, delivering infrared energy that heats the collagen as the skin surface is cooled. This causes the skin to lift and tighten. The skin will continue to tighten over the next couple of months. Results may last up to two years.

Pearl™

Pearl™ provides the optimal balance between cosmetic benefit and patient downtime. Pearl™ produces younger looking skin through facial resurfacing. During treatment, a portion of the epidermis is removed. There is simultaneous thermal injury to all or part of the remaining epidermis. This creates a natural protective dressing on the skin to minimize downtime during the restorative process.
