Does your skin look as young as you feel?

When you look at your face in the mirror, are you starting to notice:

• Fine lines?
• Sun damage, age spots or uneven skin tone?
• Dull skin color and texture?
• Dry, rough skin?
• Broken capillaries and spider veins?

Clinical skin care can help make your skin look years younger. At SUBTLchanges®, we offer a full line of skin care products and procedures to refresh and rejuvenate your skin. You'll see a noticeable difference—and so will everyone else.

Thinking about injectable treatments?

If you're considering facial fillers such as Radiesse, JUVÉDERM® or BOTOX® Cosmetic, clinical skin care can enhance the results of your non-surgical facial treatments.

And if you are planning—or have had—a facelift, clinical skin care is an important aspect of achieving and maintaining the younger-looking face you desire.

Pharmaceutical-grade skin care products
make the difference

Healthy, radiant skin begins with meticulous skin care. At SUBTLchanges®, we will carefully customize a skin care regimen for you with pharmaceutical-grade products to cleanse, exfoliate and moisturize your skin.

These three lines of products reduce fine lines and wrinkles, smooth your skin and protect it from the elements:

• Obagi
• Biomedic
• LaRouche Posay

These pharmaceutical-grade skin care products go beyond what even the finest department store products do by improving your skin's health on a cellular level. We also have a full line of Jane Iredale cosmetics and other selected specialty products.

Whatever your skin care challenges—from acne and rosacea to sun-damaged, aging skin—we at SUBTLchanges® can design a treatment program especially for you.

Professional skin treatments revitalize, refresh, renew

SUBTLchanges®, located right across the hall from Dr. Rappaport's office, offers an array of in-office treatments in a spa-like, relaxing atmosphere. "We call it a quiet space in a busy place," says Dr. Rappaport.

Medical microdermabrasion gently resurfaces your skin

Bothered by rough or uneven skin texture? Medical microdermabrasion is a rapid method of exfoliation designed to reduce fine lines, refine pores and lighten red and brown spots and scars.

This safe, gentle resurfacing therapy uses tiny particles to abrade and rub off the top layer of skin. Then it vacuums off the particles of dead skin, stimulating the production of new cells and skin-firming collagen.

A medical microdermabrasion treatment also includes a customized facial masque and massage. We recommend a series of six to eight treatments to ensure the best long-term results.

Chemical peels revitalize skin in one session

Troubled by fine lines and wrinkles, mild scarring, acne, skin discoloration or pre-cancerous skin growths? Chemical peels can treat skin on the face, chest, hands, arms or legs.

Chemical peels help remove dead skin cells while stimulating the growth of new, healthy skin cells. We will recommend the appropriate strength of chemical peel for you, based on your individual needs.

The strength of the chemical peel will determine the degree of recovery time. If you have minimal skin damage, you may require a light chemical peeling process involving minor skin irritation that normally clears up in two or three days. You may choose a full-face peel, or simply treat specific problem areas.

TCA peels offer deeper rejuvenation

Trichloric acid, or TCA, peels go beyond the superficial layers of the skin. Due to the intensity of this treatment, which uses 30% trichloric acid, you may experience redness and peeling for up to a week and should avoid sun exposure during that time. You will notice a more healthy, radiant complexion within two weeks after a TCA peel.

Obagi blue peels reveal younger-looking skin

Want to tighten your skin and improve fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin color, shallow acne scars, sun damage and freckling? An Obagi blue peel is a slow-acting, innovative solution to restoring healthy skin that enables greater control of the peeling process and its depth.

This process removes dead skin cells and stimulates the production of new, healthy skin cells. Obagi blue peels can be used on the face, neck, chest, hands, arms and legs.

Medical facials target skin care concerns

Our medical facials use a combination of physician-strength products, aromatherapy, deep cleansing and micro-exfoliation. We will recommend the one best for you:

• High-performance facial
• Acne power facial
• Damage control dual-peeling facial

Dermaplaning removes excess ‘peach fuzz’
from the face

Even if you don't have embarrassing dark facial hair, excess “peach fuzz”—known clinically as vellus hair—can trap oil and dirt and lead to other skin problems. Dermaplaning is a gentle exfoliation method that removes this fine vellus hair, along with dirt, oil and dead skin cells.

Dermaplaning is:

• Quick
• Non-invasive
• Painless

Best of all, there's no downtime. After dermaplaning, your facial cleanser, as well as other facial products and treatments, will work better because they can penetrate the skin more easily. And your skin will feel softer and smoother.
