Vitalize Your Skin with Vitalize Peel

Try one of our favorite Peels!
Vitalize Peel from Skin Medica uses key ingredients like alpha-hydroxy acid, resorcinol, and lactic acid that gently peels away superficial layers of the skin to treat conditions like hyper-pigmentation caused by the sun or acne. Improvement in skin tone, texture, collagen production as well as lessening of fine lines will also be apparent.
The Vitalize Peel is gentle enough to use every 4 weeks and we recommend 4 to 5 peels for the most dramatic results. This is also a great treatment for acne prone skin. The result will be a clearer, healthier, and glowing youthful appearance. Peeling may last 3 to 5 days for this strong but gentle peel that takes about 20 minutes to perform. If you are planning any laser treatments add on a Vitalize peel to maximize the effects or use it as a maintenance treatment to maintain collagen production after any laser treatment series.
Vitalize peels are $175 each or $700 for a package of 5 treatments.

Laser Hair Removal Questions Answered

Are you considering Laser Hair removal but just can’t decide due to your unanswered questions? Well, let’s clear up these questions and help you understand what hair removal with AFT (Advanced Fluorescence Technology) Pulsed Light is really all about. The Harmony Laser by Alma Lasers uses pulsed light which damages the hair follicles putting a stop to hair growth. You will see a reduction in the hair growth after one or two treatments; however we recommend hair removal packages of 6 treatments to obtain optimal results. If you are satisfied with your hair reduction after 4 treatments, you can save the other two for touch up treatments 6 months to a year later. No laser on the market today can guarantee 100% hair removal due to hormonal changes causing random hair growth, however our goal at Malana is 80% hair reduction which is truly incredible. During each treatment here at Malana, our nurse performs double passing to each area which means she treats the area twice in order to ensure no hair follicles have been missed. Hair removal is done every 6 weeks because hair follicles go through periods of dormancy and growth. As AFT pulsed light only affects hair follicles that are actively producing hair at the time of treatment, resting follicles must enter the growth phase before they can be actively treated, this is why treatment every 6 weeks is essential for optimal results. Next, you may ask does the treatment hurt? The treatment actually feels like little rubber bands snapping. We do offer topical anesthetic prior to treatment which decreases any discomfort if so desired. The great thing about the Harmony laser is that pulsed light with AFT treats unwanted hair with quick and safe bursts of light. This amazing hair removal laser involves no downtime so you can continue your regular activities immediately after treatment. The darker the hair and the lighter the skin in the area of desired removal, the more effective the treatment will be.
Best of all, this non-invasive approach yields permanent hair reduction and long-term hair removal anywhere on the body. Just like any of our other spa treatments, financing is available. With summer here, it’s the time to start your hair removal so you can be ready for those summer clothes and swimsuits and not have to worry about shaving and waxing.
