What aesthetics services are available?

Along with treatments for acne, eczema, and other skin issues, the Heart Healthy Family Practice team offers a suite of aesthetic services to tackle cosmetic concerns like fine lines and wrinkles.

Your skin is unique, and the team tailors your treatment to meet your needs and aesthetic goals. Two of the most popular aesthetic services they offer are Lutronic Genius® microneedling and Skinceuticals products.

How does Genius microneedling work?

Genius microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy and tiny needles to stimulate collagen and elastin production. The device creates thousands of microscopic punctures on the surface of your skin, which triggers your body's natural healing response.

The high-tech device controls needle insertion depth and delivers a precise amount of RF energy to heat the deeper layers of your skin. By combining microneedling with RF energy, Genius can tighten your skin, minimize fine lines, improve skin texture, and rejuvenate your complexion.

What are the benefits of Genius microneedling?

Genius microneedling is safe and effective for all skin types and highly customizable. The device comes equipped with treatment settings and needle tips for a variety of applications.

The Heart Healthy Family Practice team offers three levels of service: the platinum hydrafacial, the deluxe hydrafacial, and the signature hydrafacial. Along with facials, microneedling can rejuvenate skin on various areas of your body, including your:

• Neck and décolleté
• Hands
• Arms
• Back
• Buttocks
• Legs

The device provides real-time feedback to your provider during treatment, so they can make precise adjustments and maximize your results. Side effects are generally mild and may include redness or bruising that disappears within a few days.

How can Skinceuticals enhance my aesthetics treatment?

The Heart Healthy Family Practice team offers Skinceuticals, a line of medical-grade skin care products to enhance your skin’s health and appearance.

A consistent skincare regimen is a great way to keep your skin looking its best at every age — and the team specializes in creating personalized Skinceuticals recommendations that address your specific skin concerns.

Skinceuticals products are formulated with high-quality ingredients clinically proven to improve your skin's texture, tone, and hydration. In addition to these everyday benefits, the products complement various aesthetic treatments, like microneedling, by promoting healing and extending your results.
