Healthy skin looks good on you!

Microneedling isn’t just reserved for the face! You can treat anywhere on your body where you’re experiencing skin concerns. Set up your free consultation and let’s us come up with a treatment plan best suited for you

On top of everything else you need to do in the morning, moisturizing your skin can feel like another chore - so why do it? As it turns out, moisturizing doesn’t just feel great, it can help keep your skin clear, smooth, and wrinkle-free in the future. If you’re not convinced, take a look at the top 5 reasons you MUST moisturize your skin.

Moisturizing reduces the chances of skin problems - Using the right kind of moisturizer for your skin can help maintain its balance. If your skin tends to be oily, you should look for lotions instead of creams. If your skin tends to be dry, look for a cream.

Moisturizing can reduce the appearance of other blemishes - Freshly moisturized skin has a healthy sheen, which can even out any existing blemishes. Some have tint or self-tanner that can work with any skin tone.

Moisturizing helps your skin stay young - the face, ears, neck, and chest replace themselves more often than any other area on your skin. This daily loss of skin cells leaves these areas vulnerable to the dryness and the elements. Moisturizing can help give your sensitive skin the boost it needs to repair itself and stay healthy.

Moisturizing fights wrinkles -That plump, firm feeling in your face after moisturizing isn’t an illusion. People with properly moisturized skin accumulate wrinkles at just a fraction of the rate of those with dry skin.

It’s the perfect end to a hot shower - Let’s face it, a hot shower feels great and invigorating, but it strips the moisture right out of your skin. Taking just a minute to put on some moisturizer will make sure your skin isn’t only clean, but protected from the stresses of the day and feeling great.

Make sure you’re choosing a moisturizer that works for your skin. PCA skin has moisturizing products that work for any kind of skin, from dry to oily. If you already have a favorite moisturizer and want to boost it to the next level, add a few drops of the Hyaluronic Acid boosting serum - it pumps up your moisturizer to give you the ultimate hydration experience.

It’s that time of year again! Microneedling season is upon us, isn’t it time you started investing in your skin?

First things first, Microneedling is a medical procedure that should be done by a qualified Medical Professional.

Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that involves a pen with a disposable needle tip (yes disposable, because obviously one needle head per client treatment since we don’t want to be spreading any blood borne diseases) that stimulates the body’s natural healing process and healthy cell turn over. What the heck does this mean? Here’s some examples:
* Stimulates the collagen and elastin production
* Evens out skin tone
* Reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, sun spots, age spots, scars, stretch marks and the size of your pores.
* Over all visibly younger looking skin and total skin rejuvenation.

Did you know that our collagen starts to deplete around the age of 25? I know, read that again, cry a little and come back. But trust us, we look at our nieces and nephews with their perfect skin and no remaining lines after they laugh or glare or frown at us with serious envy. They really don’t know how lucky they are ;)

What to expect for your session:
* A degrease of the area (disinfecting the area with rubbing alcohol)
* Numbing cream. The numbing cream needs to sit on the area for 20-30 minutes before we start. This is a great opportunity to relax before your treatment.
* Thorough removal of numbing cream (again with rubbing alcohol)
* Then it’s go time! We go over the area with specific passes and then concentrate more directly on your concerning areas to ensure the best results possible.
* During we put medical grade hyaluronic acid onto the area and needle it into your skin. HA has many benefits; healthy cell turnover and recovery, adding moisture, reducing inflammation and redness, creates a fullness/plump appearance of the skin.

What exactly is maskne and why does it happen?

As the name suggests, maskne is a type of breakout that results from wearing a face mask. Maskne is acne formed in areas due to friction, pressure, stretching, rubbing or occlusion. Maskne is technically referred to as acne mechanica.

Overall, maskne—and often, acne mechanica in general—is triggered by pores being blocked by sweat, oil, and makeup. For masks in particular, while breathing for hours with the mask on, it creates humidity to form a breeding ground for acne. The friction of the mask can also block and clog pores, leading to the formation of comedones or blackheads.

How can you prevent and treat maskne?

Prevention is always your best bet. If you are wearing a cloth mask, wash it daily. If you are wearing a disposable mask, try to replace it as often as possible or allow it to air out in between uses. If you start developing maskne, first and foremost, be gentle—wash your face with a gentle cleanser, like PCAskin facial wash/facial wash oily to help unclog the pores. For hydration after washing, follow with our Hyaluronic acid boosting serum and don’t forget to seal that in with one of PCAskin moisturizers.

One of the biggest benefits of hand microneedling is that it enters the dermis layer without adversely affecting the outer protective layer of the epidermis. The microneedling punctures are superficial, and as such will close rapidly which means the body won’t lose much water, nor do you have to worry about infection. The skin of the hands which are dry or thin will become thick as new collagen is added. This means that the positive results that you’ll experience are long rather than short term, especially when compared to more traditional treatments such as dermabrasion and chemical peeling. This is because microneedling ingeniously harnesses the healing factor which the human body has naturally.

Microneedling does require a number of sessions, which range from three to nine depending on your skin condition. Each session is about 40 minutes in duration and typically spaced atleast 4 weeks apart. The reason for this is because it gives the body sufficient time to produce fresh collagen and elastin while also producing a fresh skin layer to replace the previous one.

Winter, with its whipping winds and heavy snowfall can take a toll on the face, causing it to become dry and cracked in just one trip outside.

Some general skincare tips include:

Apply sunscreen: Although winter days may be cloudy and gray, the sun can still reach the face with its powerful rays. Be sure to wear sunscreen before heading outdoors, with at least 30 SPF.

Moisturize after showering: Taking long hot showers in the winter may seem tempting, but they will increasingly dry out the skin over time. Try to limit the amount of time spent in the shower to 10 minutes and be sure to apply a moisturizer after drying off.

Although clients may take steps to care for their skin during this time, not everything can be prevented. If the skin begins to dry out, appears dull or causes you to look older than you are, a micro-needling treatment at theYOUeffect may be the answer.

Over the course of many winters, the skin will take a beating. In addition to the natural aging process, wrinkle formation, sagging and scarring can occur. Micro-needling can improve the appearance and feel of the skin over the course of three to six treatments. Micro-needling keeps the skin fresh and rejuvenated by boosting collagen growth.

Many people start microneedling treatments to fix existing skin issues, but the anti-aging impact is a benefit that shouldn’t be overlooked! As we age, our skin produces less collagen. Microneedling boosts collagen production and elastin for plumper and smoother skin. ⁠
