Your Guide to Personalized Complexion Treatments at Philosophy MD

Skin plays a vital role in our overall well-being and is a reflection of inner vitality. Innately, there’s a natural biological attraction to healthy, radiant skin, as it often serves as a visible cue of our underlying health. 

Investing in complexion treatments can take you a long way towards achieving vibrant and healthy skin, whether or not you are considering or also having cosmetic injectables. Let’s explore some of the treatments that can help you rejuvenate, heal, and empower your skin, so you can feel like your most vibrant self, inside and out.

 

Nurture your skin with a Personalized Complexion Program

 

Your skin tells a story and speaks volumes about your overall health. Whether you’re trying to combat flushing, sun damage, scarring, or fine lines, we offer a comprehensive range of complexion services to address your unique skin goals. 

From microneedling and Intense Pulsed Light Therapy (IPL) to Clear + Brilliant®, Laser Genesis, peels, and facials, we offer a variety of solutions to enhance your skin’s tone, texture, and vitality. These treatments not only increase collagen production and reduce fine lines but also improve the health, texture, and tone of your skin.

 

Clear + Brilliant®: Ignite your skin’s potential

 

Clear + Brilliant® stands as a beacon of hope for those seeking to reverse the early signs of photoaging. This innovative treatment utilizes fractionated laser technology to combat fine lines, pigmentation issues, and textural irregularities. What sets Clear + Brilliant® apart is its ability to treat stubborn conditions like melasma, offering a safe and effective solution for all skin types.

Clinical studies have proven Clear + Brilliant®: 

  • Prevents and corrects fine lines and wrinkles, promoting youthful and vibrant skin. 
  • Addresses various pigmentation concerns to achieve an even and radiant skin tone. 
  • Elevates skin tone and texture, giving it a rejuvenated and healthy appearance. 
  • Reduces the visibility of pores, contributing to an overall smoother complexion. 

Microneedling: Aerate your complexion

 

A timeless technique in skincare, microneedling promotes controlled skin healing through superficial channels, stimulating collagen production while improving texture and scarring. This minimally invasive procedure triggers your skin’s natural rejuvenation process by creating micro-channels with tiny needles. 

The result? Immediate improvements are often noticed after even the first session, with continued enhancement over the following weeks. For optimal results, we recommend 3 to 6 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, or more for certain types of scarring.

 

Laser Genesis: A cosmic reset for your skin

 

The latest addition to our complexion repertoire, Laser Genesis, is set to make waves in our world of cosmetic treatments. This cutting-edge technology offers a gentle and revolutionary approach to skin rejuvenation. Laser Genesis is an innovative treatment that gently heats the dermis to incite cellular regeneration and collagen synthesis, and combat acne and blemishes. It is ideal as a standalone treatment for prevention, or as an enhancement to any other services for boosted cellular renewal and stimulation.

Whether you’re addressing rosiness or fine lines, Laser Genesis offers a bespoke solution tailored to your needs, preferences, and lifestyle. Patients benefit from short series or ongoing treatments–your treatment plan will be unique to your goals, desired pace, budget and lifestyle. 

 

IPL: Renew your skin from within

 

IPL harnesses the power of intense wavelengths of light to address a myriad of skin concerns and is a popular treatment for both women and men. This non-invasive treatment targets red and brown irregularities and stimulates collagen synthesis for a smoother, healthier complexion. It addresses issues including: rosacea, hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and fine lines. 

The transformative potential of IPL can be applied to the face, hands, neck, chest, and body. However, this therapy is not recommended if you are pregnant, on blood thinners, have taken Accutane in the last 6 months, have a severe case of acne, or if you currently have tanned or sunburned skin. IPL is not recommended during summer months in Victoria, BC, or within 6-8 weeks of a sunny holiday. IPL is not suitable for patients with melasma, and darker skin types should review treatment options with our team of experts to ensure candidacy.

 

Peels: unveil your best complexion yet

 

Chemical peels gently remove the top layers of dull skin, revealing a smoother, clearer, more youthful complexion with minimal downtime. These medical-grade exfoliation treatments can address a variety of concerns, from fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, melasma, pores, acne, scarring, and more. We offer a range of light to medium depth peels for tailored outcomes in convenient, cost-effective appointments.
