Medspa

There are many benefits of Tetra CO2 treatments for patients who want to renew their skin and refresh their appearance. Benefits include the following:

• Improved radiance and skin quality
• Lifted, tighter skin
• Effective on the face and sensitive areas such as the neck & décolleté
• Smaller pore size 
• Smoother skin texture
• Versatile and customizable for any patient

We are pleased to bring this advanced fractional CO2 laser treatment to the Charlotte, NC area. If you’re interested in this treatment, you may be an excellent candidate. Those who seek out this treatment want to target the following conditions:

• Fine lines
• Wrinkles
• Deep lines
• Scarring
• Crow’s feet
• Lax skin
• Acne scars
• Dark spots
• Sunspots

Both Tetra CO2 and CoolPeel treatments are performed with the same highly versatile laser. However, the treatments are different.

Tetra fractional CO2 laser skin resurfacing is just one of the many excellent options available at Beck Aesthetic Surgery. Additional procedures that we offer for skin rejuvenation include:

• HydraFacial: Our array of HydraFacial® treatments includes exfoliation, extraction, and skin-boosting nutrients.
• CoolPeel: CoolPeel® is a mode of the Tetra CO2 laser that addresses the surface of the skin, and is an innovative way to safely and comfortably deliver the benefits of a traditional CO2 resurfacing treatment with less downtime.
• Virtue RF microneedling: This is the newest generation of radiofrequency microneedling.
  
• Chemical peels: Chemical peels can instantly brighten dull skin, improve skin texture, and smooth lines and creases.
• ZO 3-Step peel: This ZO® Skin Health peel is a three-step process that exfoliates, stimulates collagen, and soothes the skin.
• ZO Controlled Depth peel: Our ZO Controlled Depth peel treats severe laxity, texture damage, and advanced melasma. This treatment is administered by our board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Beck.

CoolPeel uses fractional CO2 laser to safely remove a very fine top-layer of skin, while producing controlled micro-wounds that stimulate the production of elastin and collagen—two natural growth factors your skin needs for extended health and youthfulness.  CoolPeel is a non-invasive facial treatment that leads to a vastly improved appearance of your skin, helping to refine, restore and brighten the complexion of dull or lackluster skin. Unlike other harsh peels, CoolPeel does this while not damaging or compromising the natural functions and beauty of the skin.  CoolPeel can be done on a large variety of skin types in order to correct many of the most common skin conditions including acne, hyperpigmentation, sun-damage, rosacea, and inflammation.

Yes, it’s called Cool for a very good reason. CoolPeel can only be done using one particular laser, and it’s the latest and most advanced CO2 laser on the market (the SmartXide Tetra from global aesthetic technology leader, DEKA.) This is the only CO2 laser that can control its output well enough to deliver the high amount of energy in very short pulses — a combination that makes impressive superficial skin resurfacing possible without the lingering heat that would otherwise damage your skin. The absence of unnecessary heat is why it’s called Cool, and is how you get the immediate aesthetic effect with minimal downtime.

• Eliminates fine lines
• Reduces wrinkles
• Minimizes sun damage and pore size
• Improve skin texture
• Requires little to no downtime
• Safely resurfaces your skin
• Improves the appearance of aged and sun-damaged skin
• Tightens loose skin and minimizes stretch marks
• Minimizes scars and softens acne scars

We will start with a numbing cream for comfort. We will pass the laser over the skin, where it treats the skin at a rapid rate. This rapid application prevents damage to other surrounding areas, significantly decreasing downtime while achieving outstanding results. 

Every person is unique and has their own skin concerns and their own aesthetic goals for their skin. In general, we recommend 3-6 laser treatments performed 4-6 weeks apart. After each treatment session, you will notice marked improvements in your complexion and the radiance of your skin.

CoolPeel treatments require little to no downtime. Expect mild redness for 24 to 48 hours, similar to a natural sunburn. This redness is typically uniform enough to look natural and doesn’t prevent people from comfortably returning immediately to their personal and professional activities. Your skin will also feel dry, so remaining hydrated is important.

Unlike other laser resurfacing treatments, CoolPeel will not cause heavy scabbing or peeling. For a day or two, your skin will be red, as if you have a sunburn. As your skin heals, it will feel dry and scaly. It’s important to keep it hydrated during this time.

You will notice a new glow and vitality in your skin after 3-4 days. Your pores appear smaller, winkles fade, and blemishes are reduced, leaving your skin glowing and refreshed.

Both CoolPeel and Tetra CO2 treatments are performed using the same advanced, versatile laser. However, the treatments are performed differently.

Our painless laser hair reduction in Charlotte, NC is a fast and virtually painless procedure that destroys hair follicles at their roots, preventing them from continuing to grow hair. This means your skin is smooth, soft, and ready to go for the long term. At the Beck Aesthetic Surgery medspa, we utilize the Motus AY, a cutting-edge proprietary laser device and the new laser of choice for hair reduction.

Laser hair reduction utilizes a scientifically designed laser to target and heat the hair follicles in the skin, which renders them unable to produce hair. Laser hair reduction can be done anywhere on the body, targeting:

• Leg hair
• Facial hair
• Back hair
• Arm hair
• Underarm hair
• Upper lip hair
• Neck and beard hair
• The bikini area
• Hair on the fingers and toes

• Treatments are virtually pain-free
• Fewer and shorter treatment sessions are required
• Great for all skin types and ethnicities
• Reduces 50-90% of hair
• Achieves faster results

Manufactured by Europe’s top aesthetic laser manufacturer, the Motus AY overcomes limitations that previous lasers had that prevented the quick, successful removal of fine or light hair. Using Moveo technology and a handpiece that delivers faster, more efficient energy, the Motus AY makes it possible even for patients with darker skin to benefit from laser hair reduction virtually painlessly and without side effects. 

Laser hair reduction begins with an assessment of your skin type and hair color to determine which type of laser will be most effective and the number of treatments you will need. We generally recommend starting with six treatments, but more may be necessary. 

When laser hair reduction first became available, it was only suitable for those with fair skin and dark hair because the laser would only target dark pigment. With today’s advances in science, virtually painless laser hair reduction in Charlotte, NC, is effective on a wider range of hair colors. However, laser hair reduction is not effective on white, gray, blonde or red hair. 

An Aesthetician at Beck Aesthetic Surgery in NC introduces the Motus AY for Laser Hair Reduction

You will notice less hair after the first laser hair reduction treatment. Once the full series of treatments are complete and all the hairs in the area have been treated by the laser during their growth phase, you will be able to enjoy your final results–a significant reduction of unwanted hair and the prevention of future hair growth. 

During the healing process after your treatments, protect your vulnerable skin from direct sub and use high SPF sunscreen. Do not pluck, tweeze or shave the treated area during the healing phase.

We are excited to offer this convenient treatment to the Charlotte, NC area. The Motus AY is safe and effective for light and dark skin types. If you want to be free of unwanted hair, you are a likely candidate for our advanced laser hair reduction treatment. To determine if you’re a candidate and which type of treatment is best for your needs, please schedule a consultation with us in order for us to decide on the right laser for your needs.

Ideal candidates should meet the following requirements:

• Do not have rashes, skin outbreaks or infections in the treatment area
• Are not pregnant
• Have not recently tanned (tanning bed or sun)
• Have hair dark enough to be detected by the laser

BBL HERO represents the next generation of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), which safely and effectively treats skin concerns such as acne, hyperpigmentation, freckles, redness, age spots, and more. BBL HERO goes beyond the traditional BBL technology and creates incredible results at four times the speed with twice the cooling ability and three times the power. What does this mean? Your treatment will be faster, the results will be more significant, and the experience will be more comfortable.

BBL HERO utilizes IPL to heat the layers of your skin. This causes the skin to tighten and constrict, which reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and triggers the production of collagen and elastin to rejuvenate the skin. The light energy is absorbed by pigmented areas, which are then destroyed so that they can be naturally cleared away by the body. 

BBL HERO, also called BBL HERO BODY, treatments provide a large number of benefits and can be used performed anywhere on the body. BBL is such a popular treatment because of its many benefits, which include the following:

• Short, simple treatment
• Downtime is minimal
• Reverses sun damage
• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
• Reduces redness, including rosacea and fine veins
• Increases the production of collagen
• Provides a more even skin tone and texture
• Reduces discoloration and pigmentation concerns
• Rejuvenated, more youthful-looking skin
• Treats the face and any part of the body

Immediately after your treatment, any pigmented spots or lesions will get darker. This is a sign that the BBL light reached the targeted part of your skin successfully. The darkness will fade, and your skin will fully heal within one to two weeks.

Downtime is minimal after BBL. Your skin may be sensitive, and it’s important to protect it from direct sun. Many patients feel comfortable resuming their usual routine and activities within a day after their treatment. When you are outside, even out of the direct sun, use sunscreen liberally.

At Beck Aesthetic Surgery & Med Spa, our team includes an experienced, highly trained team of medical aestheticians under the supervision of Dr. Beck, a board-certified plastic surgeon. Dr. Beck personally oversees every patient’s treatment plan toward beautiful, healthy skin. We treat you with a fully personalized, individual approach, combining medical expertise with a boutique spa experience to provide rejuvenating treatments with the most state-of-the-art, advanced lasers and skin treatment devices on the market. Call us today to set up a free consultation and learn more about Sciton BBL Hero! BroadBand Light (BBL) sets new standards in treating skin conditions associated with aging, active lifestyles, and sun damage.

BBL and IPL are similar rejuvenation treatments, but there are key differences. IPL (Intense Pulsed Light Therapy) uses high-intensity light to achieve firmer, younger-looking skin with a more radiant tone and smooth skin texture. IPL therapy heats the upper layers of the skin to stimulate the body to produce new collagen, resulting in a natural, youthful glow.

BBL (BroadBand Light Therapy) is the next generation of IPL. BBL is a safer and more effective treatment for repairing sun damage, reversing the signs of age, and renewing and refreshing the complexion. With BBL, treatments can be customized and controlled, allowing treatment for a broader range of skin concerns, all without downtime. BBL represents the safest, most effective form of IPL rejuvenation.

Forever Young BBL Hero treatments help achieve beautiful, luminous skin, reducing the signs of age. Forever Young BBL uses multiple passes at a lower energy level. Forever Young BBL uses lower energy for the first 200 pulses to work on the skin's genetic expression and cellular regenerative abilities. The significant boost in collagen production helps restructure and rebuild the skin from the inside out, keeping you looking “Forever Young.”

Harnessing the remarkable abilities of Broadband Light™, Forever Clear BBL kick-starts your body’s healing system to fight acne, oily skin, and large pores.

Forever Clear BBL effectively reduces inflammation, kills acne-causing bacteria, and creates cell regeneration to repair acne lesions. The result is skin that is clearer, refreshed, and more healthy. Nearly any teenager or adult who experiences acne, oily skin, or enlarged pores is an excellent candidate for Forever Clear BBL.

This advanced treatment utilizes three levels of light energy — blue, yellow, and infrared — to deliver healthier skin. 

BLUE: Destroys the bacteria that causes acne, killing it from deep inside the pores

YELLOW: Gets rid of skin redness by reducing inflammation

INFRARED: Stimulates the body’s organic healing process, regenerating cells and repairing acne lesions

Some patients have slight redness of the skin where the laser passed for the remainder of the day, but makeup should easily hide any pink skin. For the next couple of days after your treatment, your skin may feel dry because the oil is decreasing. In more rare cases, patients have temporarily experienced tingling, swelling, tenderness, irritation, and/or darkened patches on the skin. If you’re concerned about any of these side effects, please bring them up during your consultation with us.

Treatments with the Forever Clear BBL laser are comfortable and convenient. Before your treatment begins, your skin will be cleaned, and we will give you eye shields to keep your eyes safe from the laser flashes.

As the handheld instrument goes over your skin, quick bursts of light will be emitted into your skin. This feels like a light, warm prickling on top of the dermis. When the treatment is complete, you can return to your regular day. 

This will depend on your aesthetic concerns, goals, and the severity of your condition. During your consultation with us, we will let you know how many treatments you will need. We typically recommend a series of six treatments performed two weeks apart, with follow-up treatments every three to six months.

Although technically, any area of the body can be treated with Forever Clear BBL to resolve skin concerns, the most commonly addressed are the face, neck, back, and chest. 

The Beck Aesthetic Surgery medspa in Charlotte, NC is proud to offer one of the most advanced, effective, and painless laser facials available: the Motus AY laser facial. This laser is manufactured by Europe’s leading aesthetic systems manufacturer, DEKA, and is the first high-speed alexandrite laser that is equally beneficial for both light and dark skin types. 

One of the greatest advantages of the Motus AY laser facial is that it’s equally effective on light and dark skin types. Most traditional lasers are effective when darkly-pigmented hair follicles are set against minimally-pigmented or light skin because the laser focuses on the difference in contrast, with the pigment in the hair follicles absorbing the laser energy and effectively destroying the hair. However, individuals with less contrast between their skin and hair — or those with darker skin types — have had to settle for less effective treatments. Motus AY overcomes that limitation.

The Motus AY laser facial device is based on proprietary Moveo technology. The Moveo handheld device gradually heats the vital regions of the hair with small back-and-forth movements, delivering just enough heat to affect the hair follicles without burning surrounding skin tissues. As the cool sapphire tip of the device moves back and forth, it destroys the hair follicles, pigmented lesions, vascular lesions, superficial leg veins, and other such cosmetic anomalies.

Laser facial treatments with the Motus AY are incredibly effective. We will cleanse your skin and provide eye protection before the procedure begins. The handheld device moves quickly across the skin, delivering laser pulses as it goes. The Moveo technology used by Motus AY completely eliminates the discomfort associated with traditional laser treatments. Even though the Motus AY procedure involves delivering thermal energy to your skin and hair follicles, it does so gradually to eliminate the “rubber-band” effect caused by most laser treatments. You may even feel a slight cooling sensation because of the sapphire tip of the device.

With traditional laser treatments, about five sessions are needed for optimal results, followed by regular maintenance sessions. However, the Motus AY laser facial is far more effective and requires only three to six sessions to see optimal results.

One of the biggest breakthrough advantages of the Motus AY laser facial is that it’s equally safe and effective for light and dark skin tones. If you’re in the Charlotte, NC area and you’re interested in learning more about this advanced technology, an in-person consultation with our team will determine if a laser facial or another treatment will be best for you.

In general, those who make the best candidates for a Motus AY laser facial are those who:

• Have excess facial hair, pigmented or vascular lesions, or small visible veins
• Need a quick and efficient treatment that requires no downtime

Healthy, clear, vibrant skin is the key to looking your youngest. That’s why we’re so excited to bring you the very best non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatments. Our team of professionals will listen closely to your aesthetic concerns and goals to determine the ideal plan for your specific skin.

The Tetra CO2 (carbon dioxide) laser is one of the most advanced CO2 lasers available, and is excellent for targeting a wide variety of skin issues such at once. By creating tiny injuries within the skin, the Tetra CO2 addresses drooping skin, acne scars, deep lines and wrinkles, loose skin, uneven tone and texture, sun damage, dark circles, crow’s feet, scarring, and more. This technology is minimally invasive, customizable, requires little downtime, and is safe and efficient.

An advanced ablative laser treatment, CoolPeel provides the same exceptional benefits of a traditional CO2 laser — only without the discomfort and downtime they typically require. You can expect less reduced redness, peeling, and flaking of the skin with this technology which is an ideal option for fine lines, wrinkles, large pores, sun damage, dark spots, acne scars, skin texture, and more.

At the Beck Aesthetic Surgery medspa, we utilize the newest generation of radiofrequency microneedling, VirtueRF. This technology delivers more power, control, and customization than any other RF microneedling device available. VirtueRF is also more comfortable than previous devices with a noticeable difference in how the needles feel. It’s an ideal option both for patients who want to prevent skin issues as well as those who already need correction.

So named because of its ability to make the skin cells act “younger”, Forever Young BBL is the only technology of its kind. This treatment effectively rejuvenates skin molecules that are associated with aging by addressing deep tissues at the molecular level. This procedure is a great choice for those who want to improve the appearance of wrinkles, lines, sun damage, sagging, blood vessels, pigmentation, uneven texture, and more. 

Going above and beyond other lasers, the BBL HERO delivers better speed, more power, and a superior cooling feature — making it one of the most efficient BBL treatments available. The sophisticated handheld instrument makes movement more fluid, which is more comfortable, and the technology can target a broad range of skin concerns, including vascular lesions, pigmentation, and sun damage.

Our Motus AY alexandrite laser allows us to offer effective laser facial treatments to address pigmentation, veins, and more. Manufactured by DEKA, Europe’s leading aesthetic systems manufacturer, the Motus AY is extremely advanced and effective. It has made a name for itself because of its technology which allows for pain-free treatments, as well as its ability to work for both dark and light skin. 

The highly popular HydraFacial combines deep exfoliation and pore extraction along with skin-nourishing infusions to achieve glowing, radiant skin that is healthy and more youthful. The non-invasive, state-of-the-art treatment is very powerful, yet gentle enough to be used on sensitive skin. Our medspa in Charlotte, NC offers different versions of the HydraFacial including our Signature HydraFacial, the Deluxe, the Platinum, and HydraFacial Plus. 

Derived from your very own blood, PRFM produces enhanced healing and regeneration for facial rejuvenation. Growth factors, which are like our body’s own “ambulance”, can be used to speed up healing after a surgical enhancement, revitalizes and enhances the skin when used with skin rejuvenation treatments such as laser therapy, and reduces the appearance of scars and wrinkles.

Customizable for different areas of concern, chemical peels come in three different levels of aggressiveness: AHA, phenol, and TCA. They work by removing the upper damaged layer of skin to uncover healthy skin underneath, and can address everything from poor skin texture to scarring to sun damage to oiliness. During your consultation, we will go over your problem areas and goals to evaluate which level of chemical peel is right for you. 

At the Beck Aesthetic Surgery medspa, our professional aestheticians can determine exactly the right facial for your needs. Cosmetic and clinical facials include therapeutic ingredients and are personalized by utilizing steam, enzymes, oxygen, extractions, and dermaplaning to improve the appearance of your skin based on its condition. The result is a refreshed radiance, as well as healthier skin inside and out. 

ZO® Skin Health is an excellent line of cleansers, creams, scrubs, and sunscreens that utilize the latest advancements in skincare technology to target a broad range of skin issues and chronic dermal conditions. AnteAGE® products offer the most natural and effective skincare line to help you reclaim younger-looking skin by stem and growth factor cytokines taken from human bone marrow. We are excited to offer both these lines of medical-grade skincare at our Charlotte, NC medspa. 

Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the use of a device with fine needles to create tiny, controlled injuries on the skin's surface. This process stimulates the skin's natural healing response, promoting collagen and elastin production. The resulting improved skin texture and tone make microneedling in Charlotte, NC, effective for addressing issues like fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and overall skin rejuvenation.

We provide Exceed Microneedling from Candela, a device that offers enhanced versatility in treating facial wrinkles, scars, or other concerns. Each treatment achieves dramatic results with minimal downtime.

Microneedling has many advantages for patients who want to address a wide range of skin concerns, from scars and hyperpigmentation to wrinkles and fine lines. Benefits include the following:

• A fast procedure that is completed in under an hour
• Safe for all skin tones
• Improves the appearance of scars
• Improves skin tone and texture
• Focused treatments
• Long-term benefits: healthier, clearer, more youthful skin
• Tighter, more youthful skin
• Minimal downtime
• Relatively painless treatment
• Addresses sun damage, enlarged pores, hyperpigmentation, and other concerns
• Our Candela™ Exceed™ means faster recovery than with other microneedling systems

We’re very excited to offer microneedling in Charlotte, NC. Although the Candela Exceed system is safe for all skin types, there are some restrictions. Those who are not candidates for microneedling include individuals who:

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding
• Have active acne, open sores, a current skin infection, or skin cancer in the area
• Have a bleeding disorder or wound healing problems
• Have used Accutane® or medications that include isotretinoin in the last six months

Microneedling is one of the most effective non-surgical skin rejuvenation methods available. Your treatment plan can be focused on specific areas, such as under the eyes, scarred areas, crow’s feet, or the neck. The following concerns are commonly addressed:

• Uneven skin tone and texture
• Skin laxity
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Dull skin
• Acne
• Stretch marks
• Hyperpigmentation
• Melasma
• Scars (acne and other)
• Sun damage
• Large pores

In a recent clinical study, microneedling with the Candela Exceed system had the following proven benefits:

• 100% of subjects demonstrated a marked improvement in skin laxity and texture
• 85 to 90% of subjects showed significant improvement in the appearance of deep folds, crow’s feet, and frown lines
• 83% reported a visible improvement in the appearance of large pores

Treatment sessions with the Candela Exceed system take only an hour to complete. Before the procedure begins, your skin will be cleansed and a numbing cream will be applied. Once your skin is numb, the cream will be removed and the procedure will begin. The handheld microneedling device will pass over your skin multiple times, creating tiny punctures into the dermis. You’ll feel it, but the numbing cream will help. The majority of patients find microneedling to be very tolerable. No heat is applied during the treatment, with almost no risk of hyperpigmentation. We recommend a series of microneedling treatments to build on your new collagen and get the best results.

We standardly combine our microneedling treatments with AnteAGE brightening solution to enhance and elevate our patients’ results. This unique approach achieves more dramatic results, utilizing the AnteAGE stem and growth factor cytokines derived from human bone marrow. 

When combined with AnteAGE technology, microneedling is the most natural and powerful way to revitalize the skin, achieving radiant, luminous results. 

AnteAGE Brightening Solution is designed to enhance and maximize microneedling results using a powerful combination of rejuvenating growth factors and cytokines, Tranexamic Acid, and other melanin synthesis blocking factors. 

This brightening formula was designed to address eight pigmentation pathways to effectively correct uneven skin tone and discoloration at the cellular level, and promote a naturally brighter, more refreshed complexion.

Microneedling in Charlotte, NC can be performed alone, or you can add PFRM to speed up natural healing and recovery time, trigger cell regeneration, and enhance results. PRFM is unique and elevates the microneedling treatment. A combination of PFRM and microneedling is among the most effective non-surgical anti-aging procedures available. 

PRFM is derived differently than PRP. Like PRP (platelet-rich plasma), PRFM (platelet-rich fibrin matrix) is taken from your own blood. Your plasma contains platelets that are rich in growth factors. With PRF, the plasma is separated from the blood in a slower centrifuge than it is during PRP separation. This protects the platelets from damage and allows some of the white blood cells and stem cells to remain in the treatment substance. This is why PRFM contains more healing factors.

These growth factors repair and regenerate skin tissue and help with the production of collagen and elastin. When used in concert with microneedling, PFRM helps the skin become even healthier, firmer, tighter, and more youthful. 

Your blood will be drawn, then placed into a centrifuge (spinning machine) to purify and separate the PFRM. This will then be applied to your skin during microneedling for enhanced results. The application of PRFM accelerates the skin-regenerating effect, softens fine lines and wrinkles, improves pore size, enhances skin texture, and triggers higher levels of collagen and elastin production.

Although there are no physical restrictions after a microneeding treatment, your skin will be inflamed afterward. It will be pink and perhaps scratchy-looking for one to two days, and you may also experience pinpoint bleeding for an hour or so. Avoid using anything on your skin for the rest of the day in order to get the best benefits from microneedling. 

You will see smoother, more radiant skin within days after your procedure. The increased collagen and elastin that is triggered during treatment develops over time, continuing to regenerate for four to six weeks following your treatment. This new collagen looks better and better when it’s built upon, which is why multiple treatments are recommended.

With a number of proprietary handpieces and technologies, including “Robotic Precision Delivery” and an exclusive post-treatment protocol, the results of VirtueRF are unparalleled. The 36 gold-coated needles of the Smart RF device for VirtueRF are precisely depth-calibrated and deliver a pain-free burst of healthy RF energy to bolster and stimulate the body’s natural healing process.  VirtueRF is the world’s most innovative and advanced RF microneedling platform. This nonsurgical, minimally invasive technology offers some of the most efficient and effective skin toning treatments to our patients. Its multiple settings and handsets allow us to provide personalized skin toning treatments for every patient. Skin tightening, wrinkle reduction and hyperpigmentation treatments are all possible with VirtueRF.

At Beck Aesthetic Surgery, microneedling is combined with AnteAGE brightening solution as a standard treatment to improve and enhance results. This unique approach elevates the microneedling results and achieves more dramatic improvements.

AnteAGE products utilize stem and growth factor cytokines that are derived from human bone marrow. With AnteAGE technology, microneedling has tapped into the most natural and powerful way to revitalize and restore skin, achieving luminous, brilliant results. 

AnteAGE Brightening Solution was formulated to be used in combination with microneedling treatments to maximize results. AnteAGE Brightening Solution contains powerful rejuvenating growth factors and cytokines, Tranexamic Acid, and other melanin synthesis blocking factors. 

This brightening microneedling treatment was formulated to attack eight different pigmentation pathways. This is how it effectively corrects uneven skin tone and encourages a naturally brighter, more refreshed complexion while targeting discoloration at the cellular level.

For patients who would like to enhance their results, PFRM (platelet-rich fibrin matrix) can be included with Virtue RF microneedling to enhance results. PRFM is a unique treatment that can speed up natural healing and cell regeneration, improve recovery time, and elevate the microneedling treatment. A combination of PFRM and microneedling is among the most effective non-surgical anti-aging procedures available. 

Like PRP (platelet-rich plasma), PRFM is derived from your own blood. The plasma in the blood contains platelets that are rich in growth factors. When separating PRFM from the blood, the process is done using a slower centrifuge speed than is used to separate PRP. This slower process protects the platelets from damage and allows white blood cells and stem cells to remain. The result is richer healing factors contained in PRFM, which more effectively repair and regenerate skin tissue and boost collagen and elastin.
 
Combined with microneedling, PFRM achieves healthier, firmer, more beautiful and youthful skin, softening fine lines and wrinkles, reducing pore size, and improving skin texture and tone.

VirtueRF Microneedling treats a range of common skin concerns and conditions, including:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Large pores
• Skin laxity and sagging skin
• Uneven skin textures
• Pigmentation spots
• Acne scars and other scars

Our expert aestheticians start by cleansing your skin and then applying a topical anesthetic, making the procedure comfortable and virtually pain-free. The microneedling handset is then used to create the controlled micro-punctures. As they puncture the surface they also deliver the radiofrequency energy into your dermis to trigger collagen production, tighten your skin, and release an infusion of growth factors. This procedure is repeated for all treatment areas.

Following treatment, you’ll be able to resume your daily activities within 24 hours. Your skin will likely appear pinkish for up to two days. You’ll see immediate results that only get better, with an additional gradual improvement unveiling the best look and feel within a few weeks. Your skin continues to improve for several months, while collagen and elastin production continue. Your results can last as long as 5 years, though you will likely benefit from occasional maintenance treatments.

VirtueRF Microneedling is an ideal treatment option for patients looking to reverse the signs of aging and sun damage: parched and sagging skin, skin laxity, wrinkles, pigmentation issues and more. VirtueRF is nonsurgical, minimally invasive and extremely safe. Men and women alike of all ages are good candidates.

The patented HydraFacial technology is powerful, yet gentle enough to be used with even the most sensitive skin. This non-invasive, state-of-the-art treatment removes dirt, dead skin cells, oil, debris, makeup, and other impurities while simultaneously hydrating and nourishing the dermis. The final result is glowing, radiant skin and enhanced self-confidence — all with no downtime or discomfort.

HydraFacial treatments cleanse, extract, and deeply hydrate the skin using boosting serums, peptides, antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, and boosters that infuse medical-grade serums into the skin.

The HydraFacial is a customized procedure that delivers deep hydration and special nutrients for targeted skin concerns. The initial step focuses on exfoliation. This removes dull, dead skin cells and other debris. The next step is a gentle peel that achieves deep hydration. This step also releases deeply embedded residue from the pores. The final step clears away newly released debris and other particles from the pores using gentle suction.

• Refreshing, relaxing, and revitalizing
• Customizable to address your specific skin issues

The exact cost of your HydraFacial will depend on the specific treatment you choose. We offer several tiers to address varying levels of skin damage. While the cost of a HydraFacial is typically between $200 and $400, this isn’t much compared to the average amount of money that individuals typically spend on over-the-counter creams, serums, and lotions that don’t achieve anywhere close to the benefits of a HydraFacial. This treatment is an investment into your skin and its long-term vitality. When you visit us for your consultation at our Charlotte, NC clinic, we can discuss the exact costs of your HydraFacial.

One of the best things about the HydraFacial is that it’s a great option for nearly anyone who is unhappy with the appearance of their skin. The HydraFacial can address a wide variety of skin issues including enlarged pores, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles and lines, and uneven skin texture. It’s gentle and relaxing, so it can even be used on patients with sensitive skin. However, If you have an active skin rash or a sunburn, you may need to wait before undergoing a HydraFacial. The best way to determine if a HydraFacial is right for your needs is to schedule an appointment with our team in Charlotte, NC today.

A chemical peel can be instrumental in removing dirt, debris, oil, and makeup from the skin. The topmost layer of dead skin cells is peeled away, revealing a fresher, more revitalized complexion underneath. Chemical peels leave the skin softer, healthier, and more inviting, boosting your self-image so you feel less self-conscious in social situations.

PCA peel: PCA peels are a type of chemical peel formulated by the manufacturer PCA Skin. A PCA peel effectively addresses a range of skin concerns at once.

The PCA peel is a modified version of the Jessner peel, which is a milder type of peel. Jessner peels are generally ideal for patients with darker skin tones. PCA peels blend the Jessner peel with a TCA peel, which is a middle-strength peel, to target mid-to-deep layers of the skin, achieving combined yet refined results from both the Jessner and TCA peel ingredients. A PCA peel is used to improve skin tone and texture, reduce scarring, minimize pores, and reduce wrinkles and other signs of age.

Each PCA peel is completely customized for each client. A cocktail of boosters is added to address your specific skin concerns. PCA peels are ideal for all ages and ethnicities and can be customized to effectively treat any type of skin concern or issue. Everyone can benefit from PCA peels.

cosmelan® peel: cosmelan® is more than a chemical peel. The cosmelan® peel method removes hyperpigmentation while regulating the overproduction of pigmentation to prevent the reappearance of spots and flaws. The cosmelan® peel is the gold standard for treating stubborn pigmentation and melasma.

Including four powerful phases, the cosmelan® chemical peel targets the surface and deeper layers of the skin to address the problem while simultaneously addressing the origin.

SkinCeuticals Peels: We provide the Smart TCA Peel from SkinCeuticals to dramatically reduce wrinkles and fine lines, reduce the size of pores, tighten the skin, and reduce hyperpigmentation. 

The TCA Smart Peel is a blend of 15% Trichloroacetic Acid with 3% Glycolic Acid. This blend is ideal for all skin types and most skin tones I-IV on the Fitzpatrick Scale. The Smart TCA Peel treatment includes a Restorative Masque that soothes the skin immediately after the peel.

The TCA Smart Peel improves all types of skin, including dry, normal, oily, and combination skin. This peel targets blotchiness, discoloration, wrinkles and fine lines, and other concerns.

Before your chemical peel treatment, we will perform a physical evaluation and review of your medical history. It’s important that you disclose any medications or previous treatments. We may recommend several creams, gels, or lotions to use prior to your chemical peel that can help prepare the skin for exfoliation. You may also need to take antiviral medications if you have a history of cold sores.

Before your chemical peel begins, we will cleanse your skin to prepare it for treatment. We will then apply the peel directly to your skin, and as it begins to dry, you may experience some tingling or burning. This is normal and means that the peel is doing its job, but do let us know if you’re too uncomfortable. Once the peel has been on your skin for the right amount of time, we will remove it and begin infusing your skin with topical products to enhance your results. 

Almost anyone is an ideal candidate for a chemical peel. We have a peel for every ethnicity, skin type, and skin condition.

Your candidacy will be reviewed in depth during your private consultation for a chemical peel in Charlotte, NC, but in general, those who make good candidates for a chemical peel are those who are looking for an anti-aging treatment that can address hyperpigmentation, melasma, acne, PIH, uneven skin texture, large pores, fine lines and wrinkles, vertical lip lines, and other signs of age, you may be a great candidate.

Generally, ideal candidates for a chemical peel:

• Aren’t achieving the results they seek with over-the-counter skincare products
• Want to prolong the results of other skin rejuvenation procedures
• Do not have a history of abnormal skin scarring
• Skin color is I-IV on the Fitzpatrick Scale  

The recovery time for your treatment will depend on the depth of your chemical peel. With a light peel you can return to normal activities right away, whereas a cosmelan® peel will require prolonged healing. After all peels, you’ll need to avoid sun exposure until the redness in your complexion has faded — and going forward, you’ll need to use sunscreen to help preserve and protect your results. 

A chemical peel can shed years of sun damage and aging, helping you to feel more confident in how you look. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Joel Beck is a sought-after authority when it comes to any cosmetic procedure thanks to his skill, artistry, and exceptional attention to detail.

You will start with a consultation with our skin experts–medical aestheticians with advanced training to analyze and treat your skin. They will examine your skin and determine which of our advanced medical facials is best suited for your needs and skincare goals. 

They will design a custom facial to treat your specific needs and help you achieve beautiful, healthy skin. They may also recommend other treatments to complement your medical facial, such as laser resurfacing or injectable treatments.

Renuvion, or J-Plasma, is a minimally invasive procedure that can be performed under local anesthesia. During the treatment, a small incision is made in the skin, and a thin wand is inserted beneath the surface. The wand then delivers precise energy to the treatment area, causing the skin to contract and tighten. The helium gas cools the skin, minimizing discomfort and reducing the risk of burns.

Renuvion delivers a controlled burst of energy to the skin using a small wand-like device. This energy causes the collagen fibers in the skin to contract, tightening the skin and reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

The procedure is minimally invasive and can be performed under local anesthesia. Recovery time is typically short, with most patients able to return to their normal activities within a few days.

There are many benefits to using Renuvion for facial rejuvenation. Here are just a few:

• Tightens loose skin: Renuvion can help tighten loose skin on the face, neck, and jowls, giving you a more youthful appearance.
• Reduces wrinkles and fine lines: By stimulating collagen production, Renuvion can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
• Minimal downtime: Unlike more invasive procedures, Renuvion requires little downtime, with most patients able to return to normal activities within a few days.
• Long-lasting results: The results of Renuvion can last for several years, making it a cost-effective option for facial rejuvenation.

It's important to note that Renuvion is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Your results may vary, and treatment should not be seen as a replacement for healthy habits such as a balanced diet and regular exercise.

Renuvion is ideal for people with mild to moderate skin laxities, such as loose, sagging skin on your face, neck, or jowls. However, you may need a more extensive procedure like a facelift or fat transfer if you have severe skin laxity or significant facial volume loss.

Some other candidacy factors include the following:

• While Renuvion can be performed on people of all ages, it is most effective for people in their 30s to 60s. This is because younger people have more elastic skin that can bounce back more easily, and older people may have more severe skin laxity that requires a more extensive procedure.
• It is essential to be in good overall health before undergoing Renuvion. This means you should be a non-smoker, have no severe medical conditions, and be at a stable weight.
• You should be committed to maintaining your results. While the procedure can tighten and lift the skin, it is not a miracle cure for aging. After the procedure, you may still have some fine lines and wrinkles, and your results will not last forever. However, if you take good care of your skin after the procedure, you can enjoy a more youthful appearance for many years.

Before the procedure, we will administer local anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment. You may feel some pressure or mild discomfort, but it should not be painful. We may also provide medication to help you relax during the procedure.

During the Renuvion procedure, we’ll use a small wand-like device to deliver a combination of helium gas and radiofrequency energy to the treatment area. This energy causes the skin to contract, resulting in a tighter, more youthful appearance. The treatment usually takes between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the treatment area.

Afterward, you may experience some swelling and bruising in the treatment area. This is normal and should subside within a few days. You may also experience mild discomfort, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.

To ensure optimal results:

• Avoid strenuous activity and excessive sun exposure for at least a week after the procedure
• Avoid wearing makeup or applying any skincare products to the treatment area for the first few days after the treatment
• Follow our aftercare instructions carefully, which may include applying a special cream or ointment to the treatment area and using cold compresses to reduce swelling
• Attend all follow-up appointments and communicate any concerns or questions you may have.

Renuvion provides a promising option for those looking to improve the appearance of their skin without the need for invasive surgery.

Hydrafacial add-ons: Neck and decollete treatments reduce the appearance of wrinkles, promote maximum hydration, gently exfoliate, detoxify, reduce inflammation, infuse the skin with strong antioxidants, and achieve a refreshed, beautiful appearance. 

There is no downtime after HydraFacial treatments. Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds for several days. During this time, do not take Retin-A or acne medications or apply exfoliants to your skin. However, you can apply makeup the day after your treatment.

HydraFacial results typically last a few weeks to a month. To maintain their results and youthful glow, most patients schedule monthly HydraFacial treatments.

People who want to address the following concerns are generally excellent candidates for a HydraFacial:

• Uneven skin texture
• Sun damage
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Blackheads 
• Blemishes
• Oily skin
• Hyperpigmentation
• Redness and inflammation

Our custom clinical facial treatments effectively address skin concerns ranging from dull, dry skin to acne and inflammation. Our medical aestheticians individualize each facial to achieve dramatic results with medical-grade products and cutting-edge therapeutic ingredients. Our facials utilize a customized combination of steam, enzymes, peptides, antioxidants, extraction, and dermaplaning to correct skin flaws and achieve radiant clarity.

LED (or Light Emitting Diode) Therapy is available in different wavelengths as an added benefit during your HydraFacial treatment, to treat a variety of skin problems. Blue light is particularly effective at zapping bacteria, which causes breakouts and blemishes for a brighter complexion. Red light is beneficial for anti-aging, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin to smooth lines and wrinkles, improve uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation, and firm aging skin that is beginning to lose its elasticity. LED light therapy can enhance the skin-beautifying benefits of our other treatments.

Right now, you have layers of dead skin cells sitting on the surface of your skin. These cells contribute to the visible signs of aging, including lines and creases, dull skin tone, uneven texture, hyperpigmentation, or blemishes. Dermaplaning is a method of physical exfoliation that is performed using a specialized scalpel. The tool is held at a 45-degree angle to the surface of your skin to gently slough away layers of dead skin cells and vellus hair revealing baby-soft skin underneath. Once the dead skin cells have been swept away, your skincare products become more effective, makeup can be applied more smoothly, and your skin is left with a healthy, fresh glow.

We standardly combine our microneedling treatments with AnteAGE brightening solution to enhance and elevate our patients’ results. This unique approach achieves more dramatic results, utilizing the AnteAGE stem and growth factor cytokines derived from human bone marrow. 

When combined with AnteAGE technology, microneedling is the most natural and powerful way to revitalize the skin, achieving radiant, luminous results. 

AnteAGE Brightening Solution is designed to enhance and maximize microneedling results using a powerful combination of rejuvenating growth factors and cytokines, Tranexamic Acid, and other melanin synthesis blocking factors.

This brightening formula was designed to address eight pigmentation pathways to effectively correct uneven skin tone and discoloration at the cellular level, and promote a naturally brighter, more refreshed complexion.

Recovery from a customized Hydrafacial or our custom clinical facial will vary depending on what therapy was performed on your skin. The majority of our facial treatments have little to no recovery time. After your treatment, ensure you apply a moisturizer with sunscreen to protect your skin from the sun’s damaging ultraviolet rays. If you have had a chemical peel, you will experience peeling as the skin sheds in the days following your treatment, which subsides within a week.
