Ethnic Skin Care

African American Skin

When addressing African-American Skin it requires special precautions. Because of higher melanin production in skin type Fitzpatric 4 and 6 ethnic skin is very prone to Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH). When treating wrinkles, pigment and acne scars with Chemical Peels or other exfoliants we make sure that products that we us will not trigger more melanin production.

Before doing any type of exfoliations it is very important to pre-treat your skin at home with prescribed creams that will ensure healthy skin turnover and keep melanin under control.

After 2 weeks we schedule your first procedure. Customized peels in our include Vitalize Peel, Vi Peel o PCA Peel. Depending on your skin condition and what is your goal we recommend to do 2-3 treatments for optimal results.

Hispanic Skin

Hispanic skin often is affected with a condition called Melasma (hormon related hyperpigmentation in conjunction with sun damage). Long lasting post-cne scars, age spots are also common problems. Hispanic skin very well response to Obagi Protocol, Microdermabrasion and Cosmelan and Medium Strength Chemical Peels. Within 2 months of treatment patients see significant improvement in their appearance.

Asian Skin

Asian skin is very delicate and can be very sensitive. Acne scars and hyperpigmentation is the most common problem that we see in our office. Depending on the ethnic background - Middle East Asian Skin (India, Iran) or Far East Asian Skin (China, Vietnam, Philippines, Japan) we customize our treatments accordingly. Because that type of skin can be very sensitive we recommend IS Clinical White Lightning lightening skin care system in combination with PCA Ultra PeeI I and II or VI PEEL.
