Microneedling vs Microchanneling
Microneedling is an invasive procedure used to treat and improve conditions like acne scarring, fine lines and wrinkles, skin texture, pore size, stretch marks, and pigmentation. These micro-needles create tiny micro-injuries in the dermis that stimulate tissue regeneration, also known as collagen induction therapy.
Our process: We start with a double cleanse, followed by light microdermabrasion to fully exfoliate the top layer of dead skin and debris. We then apply a professional numbing cream so there is minimal to no discomfort. The process of microneedling is quick, it takes approximately 10-15 minutes. We finish with an application of our company’s proven recovery oil - a critical part of protecting and restoring your newly damaged skin and ZINC sunscreen. You’ll receive a small care package of post-treatment skincare to take home with you! We highly suggest you purchase Glymed's POST RECOVER KIT to help aid in the healing process after the first 72 hours. CLICK HERE!
*Disclaimer, your skin will be sensitive, and red and you must stay out of the sun/no sweat for at least 72 hours post-treatment. This is crucial for your skin’s ability to naturally repair itself. This treatment can be done every 3-4 weeks, depending on how well your skin adapts and heals! A minimum of THREE sessions is suggested for optimal results since your skin takes about 90 days to fully cycle.
Microchanneling is less invasive than traditional microneedling. We use the same type of device, but do not "puncture" as deeply.
Our process: We start with a double cleanse, followed by light microdermabrasion to exfoliate the top layer of dead skin and debris. We then select a targeted serum depending on your skin’s needs with professional hyaluronic acid liberally to your skin. Using the nano-needles, we then create microscopic openings in your skin, allowing for the serums to penetrate even deeper!! There is no numbing cream and no major downtime with this service. This is a perfect introductory advanced service for those who want to see transformative results! You can do this service every 2 weeks.
We've attached PRE and POST Care PDFs below for you to view, understand, and agree to before your appointment.
We highly suggest starting our PRE-TREATMENT Skincare Regmine at least 3 weeks before your Microneedling or Microchanneling appointment. We sell pharmaceutical-grade skincare from Glymed! CLICK HERE to shop.
Chemical peels
About Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are a fantastic form of advanced esthetics! At Skin Society Hawaii we offer a wide variety of low to medium-grade peels from GlymedPlus.
Chemical peels are cosmetic treatments that involve using certain types of acids or enzymes to aggressively 'eat away' at the glue that holds your skin cells together, which in turn chemically exfoliates the skin. The acid/enzyme removes a uniform amount of damaged skin cells across the treatment area, resulting in your skin's immune system 'reset'. This is the owners FAVORITE treatment to perform and receive. PS: You will PEEL!
We perform chemical peels to reduce the appearance of:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne
- Enlarged pores
- Scarring
- Redness/Rosacea
