In the world of skincare, the quest for achieving radiant, flawless skin has paved the way for innovative techniques and treatments, two of which have gained significant traction: microchanneling and microneedling. These two procedures are often mentioned interchangeably, leading to confusion among skincare enthusiasts. To shed light on this topic, let’s delve into the nuances and benefits of each method, empowering you to make informed decisions and unlock the potential of rejuvenated, glowing skin.

Understanding Microchanneling

Microchanneling is a cutting-edge skincare technique designed to promote collagen production, enhance skin texture, and address various skin concerns, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone. This transformative procedure leverages the use of a specialized device equipped with tiny, pyramid-shaped, silicone tips, which create microscopic channels in the skin. The depth and size of these channels are carefully calibrated to stimulate the skin’s natural healing process, allowing for optimal product penetration. At Sleekskin® We offering the Rezenerate Nanofacial but this treatment can be delivered in a variety of methods.

The Benefits of Microchanneling

One of the key advantages of microchanneling lies in its ability to deliver skincare products directly into the skin’s deeper layers, maximizing their efficacy and facilitating improved absorption. This process, known as “infusion therapy,” enables potent serums and growth factors to penetrate the skin, enhancing their impact on cellular rejuvenation and regeneration.

Moreover, microchanneling promotes the production of new collagen and elastin, contributing to firmer, more youthful-looking skin. Its precision and controlled nature make it suitable for individuals seeking targeted solutions for specific skin concerns, with minimal discomfort and downtime.

Navigating Microneedling In contrast,

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, involves using a device with fine needles to create controlled punctures in the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural wound-healing response. Although there are definitely benefits to this treatment, it can be accompanied by discomfort and often requires some sort of numbing due to the depth of the wound. Down time is also to be expected.

While microchanneling excels in its precision and targeted product delivery, microneedling has its time and place, although a much more invasive treatment. Ultimately, the decision between microchanneling and microneedling hinges upon understanding your skin’s specific needs, consulting with a skincare professional, and determining the most suitable treatment to achieve your desired outcomes. Additionally, considering factors such as skin sensitivity, downtime, and long-term results will guide you in selecting the ideal procedure aligned with your skincare aspirations.

Sleekskin® Aesthetics is happy to help you navigate the skincare treatment best for your skin so don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment or consultation with Sleekskin® Aesthetics to treat your skin to what is best for your needs!

For so long, we have seen anti-aging articles and ads all over the place and while there is nothing wrong with taking care of your skin, it is safe to say that we are moving into the pro-aging era. 

What is pro-aging?

Pro-aging is a beautiful movement taking place that embraces proactively caring for skin as it matures rather than shamefully trying to stop this natural part of life. This by no means that you have to throw your traditional “anti-aging” skincare products like retinol to the wayside. It simply means viewing the changes that occur to our skin in a more positive light by looking at ways to support a healthy aging process. 

How can you be pro-aging?

Pro-aging, in general, is just about working with your skin, instead of fighting what is naturally occurring. It is much more about restructuring habits as well as utilizing products and treatments that improve the skin’s overall health. So what sorts of changes are we referring to? 

Lifestyle: Factors like sleep, hydration and diet can make all the difference in how our skin ages.

• Making sure we are getting at least 7 hours of sleep so that our cells have an adequate amount of time to turnover. 
• Staying hydrated because thirsty skin can result in the appearance of deepened fine lines and wrinkles. 
• Eating enough fruits and vegetables so that your skin has the nutrients it needs to be healthy and glowing. 

These are all ways our lifestyle can support pro-aging. 

Peptides: Using products such as Sleekskin®’s Rapid Restoration Serum and Stem Cell Reactivation Serum are both ways to: 

• Reduce inflammation
• Improve hydration levels
• Increase collagen production

To lovingly support our skin through the aging process. 

Most importantly though…. 

Embrace your skin: The pro-aging process is all about embracing the skin you’re in. This can look different for everyone of course. Perhaps you opt for monthly facials with Sleekskin® to nurture your skin instead of routine botox appointments. It could also mean replacing your negative self-talk in the mirror with performing a little “self-care” on the skin with a lovely beauty regimen filled with products utilizing healthy ingredients for this skin.
Whatever route you take to get in on this pro-aging movement, Sleekskin® Is here to help you every step of the way. Whether that means, treating you to a monthly facial or supplying you with the most effective products to love on your skin, we’ve got you covered!

As the crisp autumn air settles in, it’s time to transition your skincare routine and embrace the beauty of fall. At Sleekskin®, we’re passionate about helping you achieve a radiant complexion all year round. That’s why we’ve put together some essential fall skincare tips to keep your skin healthy, hydrated, and glowing throughout the season.

1. Hydration is Key: The cooler temperatures and indoor heating can deplete moisture from your skin. Offset dryness by using a nourishing moisturizer, rich in hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid or ceramides. Our Telomere Intensive Moisturizer is perfect for this! In addition to getting your moisture topically, be sure you don’t forget to drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from within.

2. Exfoliate Gently: Fall is the perfect time to slough off Summer’s accumulated dead skin cells. Opt for a gentle exfoliator like our Overnight Facial Exfoliant, enriched with natural ingredients like apple and cucumber. Gentle exfoliation will reveal a smoother, more radiant complexion without stripping away essential oils.

3. Protect your Eyes: Just because the harsh Summer rays are no more does not mean that your eye care should fade along with the heat. Routine application of an eye serum like Sleekskin®’s Vibrant Eye Serum is necessary to help you maintain an overall youthful appearance year-round.

4. Boost your Vitamin C: To avoid experiencing dull skin this Fall, vitamin C can be imperative. A product like Brilliance Antioxidant Serum can help your skin maintain a bright glow while promoting an all-around even skin complexion.

5. Trust in The Power of a Quality Mask: Once to twice a week, carving out the time for a good mask or scrub can make all the difference. Our personal favorite for this time of year is our Hibiscus Microderm Scrub. This scrub is perfect for promoting elastin, keeping your skin supple and dewy even as the air becomes drier.

6. Don’t Forget Your Lips: The delicate skin on your lips requires extra care during fall. Keep them kissably soft with a nourishing lip balm. This will help prevent chapped lips and keep them smooth all season long.

It is no secret that staying hydrated is one of the most defining steps to ensuring beautiful, glowing skin. In fact, when your skin is dehydrated it can have less than desirable effects such as:

• Lacking elasticity
• Dull tone 
• Being more prone to breakouts
• More visible fine lines and wrinkles 

Which is why maintaining proper hydration is so important.

But what is the most optimal way to hydrate? 

I am glad you asked 😉 Recently I began looking more into the best ways to hydrate our body and thus our skin. What I found, thanks to Dr. Lesley Ike, is certainly worth sharing. 

For starters, many of us are drinking too much water in a single sitting. Have you ever felt like you were chugging water all day long only to still feel thirsty? The reason is our kidney can only hold 4-5 ounces of water at a time to filter through our system. A good rule of thumb is to drink 4 ounces of water every thirty minutes. This will save you a few trips to the bathroom while still keeping you hydrated. 

In addition to when you drink, WHAT you drink can play a huge role in your hydration as well. When we drink water by itself, we flush our body of important electrolytes. Electrolytes are a key component in helping our body maintain homeostasis and keeping all of the body properly hydrated. A great way to ensure that your body is being replenished in electrolytes along with water with each swig is as simple as adding a pinch of himalayan salt to your water. If salty water on its own isn’t for you, you can try pickle juice. That’s right! Drinking pickle juice is a great way to make sure your body has plenty of vital electrolytes to keep your body and skin hydrated.  

Along with the salt, another great additive for your drinking water is fruit. Aside from adding a splash of flavor, adding both fruit and vegetables to your water is a great source of phytochemicals. This can help you not only stay hydrated but also help protect your DNA from damage which in turn can help keep your skin appearing youthful for longer. 
Bottom line, there are so many small adjustments to how we drink water that can positively impact our ability to hydrate and ultimately maintain the skin complexion that we desire.
