Skin Type & Skin Care

Skin Type

Do you know your skin type? Do you have a skin type that doesn’t fit neatly into the skincare descriptions found on product labels?

Are you dry yet break out easily?
Are you oily yet sensitive?

Do you find the number of skincare products to be completely overwhelming?

You aren’t alone!

Millions of dollars are spent on skincare products that end up in the trash because they didn’t work for a particular skin type. Wouldn’t it be great to find products tested explicitly for your type, once and for all?

We have your solution.

BellaLisse partners with Skin Type Solutions, a specialty company built upon the patented skin type system founded by dermatologist Dr. Leslie Baumann. By utilizing her rigorously tested questionnaire and classification system, you will gain insight into your skin type’s specific qualities. This awareness will help you focus on products specifically suited to your type.

No more guessing. No more wasted products!

Medical Facials

What is a BellaLisse facial?

You may have heard of facials, but perhaps you have never had one, and you’re not sure how you can benefit?

There are different levels of facials, depending on the environment in which it is delivered (a day spa versus a medical environment) and the level of training of the provider.

In the general sense, a classic spa facial is essentially a complete skincare package in one session, including:

facial skin evaluation & consultation
facial cleansing & toning
exfoliation
extractions, if needed
serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen, if indicated

Will facials correct skin problems like wrinkles or hyperpigmentation?

Facials deeply cleanse the skin and can help with specific problems like mild acne or dryness. They are relaxing and will likely leave your skin feeling healthy, pampered, and glowing.

However, they cannot correct more severe issues such as texture and hyperpigmentation. These issues may require more intense treatments, such as a chemical peel or microneedling.

What is a medical-level facial?

Medical-level facials are performed in a medical environment and incorporate medical-grade products and tools. These treatments are designed to affect skin at a deeper level and can be tailored to your specific concerns. Medical level facials can include dermaplaning, chemical peels, microneedling and light therapy.

Dermaplaning

What is dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a painless procedure that removes the top layer of dead skin cells and fine facial hair. The procedure can augment the absorption of skin products and prime skin for a chemical peel. There is no downtime following the procedure, although sensitive types may experience minor redness or puffiness.

Dermaplaning may be performed as often as every 3-4 weeks.

Light Therapy

How can light therapy help me?

LightStim ProPanel red light therapy is FDA-cleared to treat wrinkles on the entire face. The four wavelengths of 630 light red, 660 deep red, 605 amber, and 855 infrared work together simultaneously to target multiple areas of concern. Red light therapy works synergistically with other treatments to:

help calm, soothe and restore skin’s balance
improve local blood flow and oxygenation
diminish fine lines and wrinkles
accelerate recovery following facial treatments

Treatments can be performed as stand-alone, pre-peel, or post-procedure.

Blue light therapy is FDA cleared to treat mild to moderate acne by destroying acne-causing bacteria. The integrated red lights help soothe and calm the skin. In our clinic, blue light therapy is delivered by a professional hand-held device, either as a stand-alone service or as a post-treatment.

Hand-held devices are also available for convenient home use.
