DePiano Skin: December 2015

BRAND NEW FOR 2016

Ever feel like you just need something NEW? You know, a desire for that “I’m so in love with this” feeling that you get when you treat yourself to a new dress or a great new pair of shoes or anything that gives you that Honeymoon feeling. Sometimes we want to change up or improve what we see in the mirror every morning. There’s a reason why the makeover segments on TV shows are some of the most watched: we all want to stay current, look our best, and upgrade how we look.

That’s been happening for me oh, probably for the last 6 months but I really couldn’t put my finger on what it was I wanted to upgrade. Then, after attending a skin-care conference, as I frequently do, and being inspired by peers in my industry, I realized what I wanted to make better. DePiano’s Signature Skin Treatment has been my most popular treatment for so long and it works wonders. After attending that particular event, however, I realized that I could inject even more beauty power to that treatment and incorporate the best of the hot new treatments. I sat down, took a look at my “formula” for the Signature Treatment, and created what I believe is not only the best value for money, and ultimate rejuvenation, but what is also an educating experience for clients.

I’m so excited about this that I wasn’t able to wait till 2016 to unveil it, so here is the skinny on my new, upgraded DePiano Signature Treatment.

DePiano’s newest skin pampering is a two and half hour commitment for a fully personalized, detailed and focused skin regeneration. The first part of our time together is the most important. I call it my Skin Forensics because there is an art to my process, but it is also a science. We work together to learn about your skin from inside out. What foods do you eat? What is your current skincare regime? What environmental stressors are you exposed to? Based on this discovery process, I customize your session to obtain maximum results from our time together as well as for your ongoing care at home.

Next, I get down to business to make this treatment truly a skin upgrade. After the face has been cleansed, exfoliated and extracted, I begin my customized work, using only the best products on the market, carefully chosen to make YOU the best YOU and bring your skin back to life. These are products that I use personally and have researched over more than 20 years as a skin care expert.

An important step in my process includes a micro-needling procedure (hot right now!) that helps bring circulation and blood flow to the skin, allowing penetration by peptides. I also utilize a Stem Cell Transdermal Delivery System. This uses oxygen rich ingredients along with the peptides to get deeper into the skin for a cleaner result without leaving redness. Your skin becomes plump and glowing.

What I do next depends on YOUR skin. Remember, each DePiano Signature Skin Treatment is a custom experience based upon YOUR skin and what’s going on with your life and how your skin is reacting NOW. No two treatments are alike, but will include techniques from the following;

PhotoGen Skin Rejuvenation – treatment of hyper-pigmentation reduces redness, decrease pore size along with reducing fine lines and wrinkles all while leaving your skin firmer and with a natural glow.

Dermaplaning - removes the peach fuzz and dead skin cells to allow better product penetration – your skin will breath in a new freshness.

Micro Needling – the most talked about new treatment of 2015 is microneedling. This is a minimally invasive skin-rejuvenation procedure that involves the use of a device that contains fine needles. The procedure prompts the body to respond through the creation of new collagen and elastin fibers. In response to the stimulus, the skin plumps and thickens, reducing the appearance of scars, fine lines and wrinkles. It is even effective on scar damage from severe acne and even chicken pox scars.

LED Light Therapy - uses four clinically proven wavelengths of UV-free LED lights that claims to boost collagen production and treat existing acne. Specific wavelengths of blue light target the strain of bacteria that plays a pivotal role in causing acne for many people. The light causes the development of oxygen radicals that kill P. acnes bacteria without damaging healthy skin.

The Pretty Up – One thing I know most people think about before going to get a facial or even a quick eyebrow clean up is – will I be all blotchy and red when I walk out of there? I’d better bring my cap and my big dark glasses! Well, here’s where my decades of experience really kick in. I pride myself on making sure you walk away feeling relaxes and lovely with a brow tidy up and a healthy application of a great sunscreen to protect and nurture your fresh new skin, but without the red blotches. You know those fancy apps that allow you to choose a filter to hide flaws and make your skin appear perfect? Well, you will be hash tagging “no filter” on your next selfie – your skin will be camera ready!
