Oxygen Treatment $80
The Oxygen Facial helps rejuvenate skin that appears sallow, irritated or tired due to toxins, allegens, smoking, aging, pollutants and poor diet. Acne sufferers also benefit from this treatment. Often recommended between peel treatments to soothe skin and reduce redness, this facial is great before special events. For optimal results, a series of 6 is recommended. 45 minutes.

PCA Peel $90
Light-to-medium depth peel formulas proven to effectively exfoliate, bleach and inhibit pigment production. These peels help repair and reduce breakouts, control oil, soften lines and provide a more even, smooth skin texture. For optimal results, a series of 6 is highly recommended. 45 minutes.

Acne Peel Treatment $85
This treatment is the best choice for acne sufferers. Comprised of 35% salicylic acid, this peel facilitates ease in extractions and helps prevent sebum blockage. Gentle extractions are done, while salicylic acid penetrates the pores and gently unclogs them. For optimal results, a series of 6 is highly recommended. 60 minutes.

Rosacea Peel Treatment $85
This treatment is the best choice for irritated/active rosacea. The Rosacea Peel exfoliating treatment will smooth the surface of the skin, help kill bacteria and reduce redness with little or no stinging. A combination of Vitamin C and Pumpkin products will hydrate and nourish the skin while reducing redness and irritation. This treatment can be performed at monthly intervals and for optimal results, a series of 6 is highly recommended. 45 minutes.

Sensi Peel® Exfoliating Treatment $90
Formulated for sensitive skin types, L-lactic acid and trichloroacetic acid (TCA) is used in addition to plant-derived progesterone precursors, which leave skin feeling plump and hydrated. L-ascorbic acid strengthens and brightens while L-arbutin, kojic and azelaic acids help treat hyperpigmentation and sun damage. Kojic and azelaic acids also provide anti-acne and antibacterial properties. For optimal results, a series of 6 is highly recommended. 45 minutes.

LED (Fees Vary by Treatment)
LED light therapy is gentle, painless, safe, noninvasive and nonabrasive. BLUE light comforts and soothes skin, and has anti-sensitive functions.

PREVAGE® MD [1% Idebenone] anti-aging treatment is the most powerful antioxidant available in a skin care product today. PREVAGE® MD protects your skin from environmental stressors which cause skin aging including UV light, air pollution, ozone, and cigarette smoke.
The antioxidative power of PREVAGE® MD anti-aging treatment has been shown to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as skin roughness and dryness, and to even skin tone to restore youthful-looking skin.

VIVITÉ™ skin care formulations are based on exclusive GLX Technology™, a unique fusion of the clinically demonstrated benefits of glycolic compound and natural antioxidants.

The glycolic compound in GLX Technology™ is one of the most effective exfoliants available. Of all the alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), glycolics have the smallest molecules for greater skin penetration. Further, in this skin care line, it is partially neutralized, so patients get a high delivery of effective product with minimal irritation, as well as duration so extended that skin receives a secondary glycolic effect.

GLX Technology™ also contains natural antioxidants that protect epidermal cells from the harmful effects of environmental stressors. Without protection from topical antioxidants, free radicals attack and prematurely age the skin.
Fused together, the glycolic compound and natural antioxidants in
GLX Technology™ promote the production of hyaluronic acid, collagen, and epidermal growth factor in the skin. All of these are essential to the integrity and health of skin.

Dedicated to this improving skin health, SkinCeuticals provides quality products backed by science. At Sunset Cosmetic Surgery, we carry the following SkinCeuticals lines:

SkinCeuticals Cleanse and Tone Products
SkinCeuticals cleansers and toners include a variety of active ingredients such as hydroxy acids, botanical extracts, and cleansing agents to lift impurities and oils, gently exfoliate dead skin cells, and balance pH levels. These products leave the skin feeling fresh and clean without increased dryness or oiliness.

SkinCeuticals Eye Balm
This rich, corrective emollient treatment is specifically formulated to counter the three prime signs of aging— moisture loss, collagen breakdown, and free radical damage. A natural anti-inflammatory is added to reduce the appearance of under-eye puffiness, while a soothing agent derived from the chamomile plant calms irritated skin. Benefits include:
- Helps correct age-related damage around the eye area
- Improves appearance of the skin around the eyes
- Stimulates collagen & hyaluronate production to firm skin
- Supports replacement of lipids in dry skin
- Protects against free-radical attack
- Relieves the appearance of under-eye puffiness
- Calms irritated skin with alpha bisabolol
- Formulated for dry, mature skin around the eye area

SkinCeuticals Sunscreen Products
These sunscreens provide true broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection and contain Z-Cote, transparent zinc oxide, which protects skin from the damaging UVA rays which cause premature signs of aging. Unlike the pasty white zinc oxide sunscreens of the past, SkinCeuticals sunscreens are cosmetically elegant and all-encapsulated, which means increased protection using fewer sunscreen ingredients, reducing the chances of irritation.

SkinCeuticals Antioxidants
Antioxidants can help prevent photoaging and the onset of more serious skin conditions. Topical antioxidants can provide up to 8xs the skin’s natural protection from UV damage. Sunscreens are also an important part of the prevention equasion, but cannot do it alone. Antioxidants protect your skin from the sun in ways that sunscreens can’t. When used together, antioxidants and sunscreens provide almost complete photoprotection - preventing photoaging, the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and overall skin health.

SkinCeuticals Moisturizers
SkinCeuticals moisturizers are carefully formulated with multi-functional ingredients that nourish, protect, and/or exfoliate as they hydrate and restore elasticity. Our moisturizers are designed to maximize ingredient synergies and provide optimal benefits to the skin.
