What to Look for in Your Skincare and Why Sleekskin Has It Covered

May 27, 2025 by debbiedavis

Choosing the right skincare shouldn’t feel like guessing in the dark. With so many products on the market, it can be hard to know what your skin actually needs and which ingredients are just buzzwords.

At Sleekskin® Aesthetics, every product we carry is intentionally formulated with results in mind, backed by both science and experience. So what should you really look for in your skincare? Let’s break it down.

Hydration + Barrier Support: Your Skin’s First Priority

According to dermatologists (and Debbie), it all starts with hydration. If your skin isn’t properly hydrated, nothing else will function at its best. Hydration helps prevent irritation, slows visible aging, and supports that dewy, plump look we all love. At Sleekskin®, our aim is not just hydration but in nourishing the skin barrier. Our Cranberry Quench Cream is perfect for this, formulated with niacinamide (Vitamin B3) and hyaluronic acid, both proven to soothe inflammation and deeply hydrate. Niacinamide is also a quiet powerhouse for calming redness and strengthening the skin barrier over time. Our Advanced Cleansing Apricot Cream is another match made in hydration heaven thanks to its ability to cleanse without stripping the skin or disrupting its natural pH. This product is also full of great clean ingredients that can be used as a mask as well! Truly a game-changer in so many ways!

Antioxidants: Daily Protection from Aging and Stress

Think of antioxidants as your skin’s daily defense squad. They neutralize environmental stressors like sun, pollution, and even blue light. This helps prevent premature aging while brightening and revitalizing the skin. Our Brilliance Antioxidant Serum delivers a potent dose of vitamin C paired with vitamin E for enhanced absorption, using the most stable form of vitamin C, to brighten and revitalize the skin daily. It’s a favorite for those looking to maintain glow while staying protected.

Peptides + Growth Factors: Repair, Rebuild, Rejuvenate

Peptides are short chains of amino acids; basically, the building blocks of collagen and elastin. They’re essential if your goals include smoothing fine lines, increasing elasticity, and firming the skin. At Sleekskin®, we integrate peptides into several formulas because they work. Factor 10 Cream delivers bio-sourced growth factors and peptides to:

  • Visibly improves tone and texture
  • Adds a boost of nourishment while calming and firming stressed skin
  • Provides anti-aging benefits with a blend of peptides and antioxidants to support collagen and defend against environmental damage

Beyond peptides, Sleekskin® has been ahead of the curve on emerging skin science, especially in the field of epigenetics, where the environment and stress can influence gene expression and skin aging. A decade ago, we launched formulas with ingredients designed to “switch on youthful gene expression patterns” and support DNA repair. Our Telomere Intensive Moisturizer, Stem Cell Activation Serum, and Factor 10 Cream were inspired by this new frontier in skincare, working to extend the lifespan of skin cells and encourage optimal cellular behavior.

Gentle Exfoliation: Clear Skin Without Compromising It

Healthy exfoliation clears away buildup and reveals brighter, more even skin. But overdoing it can backfire. That’s why Sleekskin offers exfoliants that work—without overstripping. Our Hibiscus Microderm Scrub gives just enough polish to smooth skin texture and promote circulation, while remaining gentle enough for weekly use. For deeper exfoliation, we recommend the Oxygen Refresh Facial, with the addition of microdermabrasion or dermaplane to sweep away dullness and boost clarity.

The Finishing Touch: Don’t Skip the Beauty Oil

As your last step, a high-quality beauty oil seals in all the goodness from your skincare routine—hydration, antioxidants, and active ingredients. It creates a breathable barrier that helps prevent moisture loss while giving your skin a soft, radiant finish. Think of it as your skin’s protective topcoat: it locks everything in while delivering its own nourishing benefits.

Skip the Fillers and choose Ingredients That Do Something

You won’t find unnecessary fillers, harsh alcohols, or synthetic fragrances in Sleekskin® products. Instead, we focus on well-studied ingredients like niacinamide, peptides, plant-based stem cells, and growth factors, all chosen for their ability to support skin function, not just surface appearance.

Bottom Line? Skincare Should Work With Your Skin, Not Against It. Whether your skin is sensitive, aging, sun-stressed, or somewhere in between, there’s no need to chase trends. With Sleekskin®, you get formulas that do what they say, and a guide (Debbie!) who knows how to personalize a routine that gets results.

Let’s Talk Pores: How to Minimize Them (For Real)

April 30, 2025 by debbiedavis

Let’s get one thing straight… everyone has pores. They’re a completely normal (and necessary!) part of your skin’s structure. But if you’ve ever caught a glimpse of your reflection and felt like your pores were shouting at you, you’re not alone.

The good news? While you can’t shrink pores permanently, you can reduce their appearance with the right knowledge, habits, and products. Here’s everything you need to know about why pores look bigger and what to do about it.


First, What Are Pores?

Pores are small openings in your skin that allow oil, sweat, and toxins to exit the body. Each one contains a hair follicle and a sebaceous (oil) gland. Pores are most noticeable on the nose, cheeks, forehead, and chin aka, the T-zone.

Pore size is mostly determined by genetics, but they can appear larger due to:

  • Excess oil production
  • Build-up of dead skin cells
  • Sun damage
  • Loss of skin elasticity due to aging

Why Do My Pores Look So Big?

If your pores are looking more visible than usual, there are a few likely culprits:

1. Clogged pores: When oil, dead skin, and debris get trapped inside, pores stretch to accommodate the buildup. This makes them look wider and more noticeable.
2. Loss of collagen: As we age, collagen and elastin break down, and the skin becomes less firm. This causes the surrounding pore walls to sag, making pores appear larger.
3. Overactive oil glands: People with oily or combination skin tend to have more visible pores, especially if the oil mixes with dead skin and oxidizes into blackheads.
4. Sun exposure: UV damage thickens the skin and breaks down support structures like collagen, which worsens the appearance of enlarged pores.


So, What Can You Do About It?

Here’s the part you’ve been waiting for: how to actually minimize the look of large pores the Sleekskin® way.

1. Exfoliate Regularly

Dead skin cells = clogged pores. The right exfoliation routine keeps skin fresh, smooth, and ready to glow.

We recommend the Hibiscus Microderm Scrub, a gentle yet effective exfoliant that buffs away dullness and clears debris without stripping the skin.

2. Incorporate Retinol

Retinol increases cell turnover and boosts collagen, both key in refining skin texture and tightening the appearance of pores over time.

Start with our Retinol Radiance Serum, which delivers visible results without the usual dryness or irritation.

3. Don’t Skip Nighttime Treatments

Night is when your skin does its deepest healing. Using the right exfoliating and hydrating products before bed helps unclog pores and smooth skin while you sleep.

Our go-to? The Overnight Facial Exfoliant, which combines exfoliation and nourishment for smoother, more refined skin by morning.


Bonus Tips: Keep That Glow Going

  • Always remove makeup before bed
  • Use SPF daily to prevent further collagen loss and sun damage
  • Hydrate properly (yes, oily skin needs moisturizer too!)
  • Consider regular professional treatments, like LED light therapy or gentle peels, to support your at-home routine

The Bottom Line

While there’s no such thing as “poreless” skin, there is such a thing as healthy, radiant skin with pores that don’t steal the spotlight. With the right care, consistency, and a few targeted Sleekskin® favorites, you’ll be well on your way to smoother skin and that naturally refined glow.

All about the skin-improving Jet Plasma

July 5, 2023 by debbiedavis

JET PLASMA

Sleekskin® Aesthetics is proud to offer JET Plasma,  a revolutionary new treatment that has NO downtime, no visible trauma to the skin, no pain, and no need to numb the skin! 

Diminish wrinkles and fine lines, decrease hyperpigmentation, and improve acne and acne scarring, all without any brown carbon dots that traditional Plasma Fibroblast Skin Tightening leaves behind! 

The JET Plasma procedure takes approximately 20-30 minutes and can be immediately followed by 15 min LED red light treatment for best results. Clients experience results that continue to improve for 6-8 weeks after treatment.

What is a JET Plasma Anti Aging Skin Treatment?

JET Plasma is a revolutionary new technology! It remodels and repairs the skin from the inside out and is used to treat many different skin conditions. Not to be confused with Plasma Fibroblast, a different treatment, which is still very desired and relevant, Jet Plasma has additional benefits that make it extremely effective for every skin type, safely treating conditions that  Plasma Fibroblast can not.

How does JET Plasma work? 

Plasma is generated when the atmospheric gas between the plasma pen tip and the skin is ionized creating a small electrical arc, similar to a tiny lightening bolt, which is used to treat the problem areas without unwanted damage to the surrounding tissues.

While other treatments claim to be JET Plasma, (such as plasma shower or plasma stamping) they can only minimally effect the epidermis, while JET Plasma penetrates to the deeper dermal layers, where the real work happens. This is where your fibroblast cells begin producing collagen. JET Plasma increases the absorption rate of products applied to the skin following the treatment, allowing them to penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin.

Remember, products matter greatly at this time, which is why I use only the best medical-grade serums  and moisturizers available for purchase from Sleekskin® Aesthetics . This treatment produces an immediately visible skin-tightening effect while also dramatically improving fine lines and wrinkles over the long term. JET penetrates the dermal layer, to remodel the skin from the inside out. The regeneration of collagen continues for 6-8 weeks post-treatment, and additional reduction of laxity of the skin surface, and improvement in the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, acne, hyperpigmentation, and scars takes place during this time. 

Benefits of JET Plasma Tighten Skin Treatment

  • Tightens aged skin
  • It kills germs and bacteria
  • Increases the skin absorption rate
  • Stimulates the generation of collagen
  • Increases circulation
  • Effective Acne treatment
  • Reduces hyperpigmentation
  • Shrinks pores
  • Has no downtime
  • Painless
  • Simple aftercare
  • No avoidance of sun or activity

Jet Plasma has NO DOWNTIME, does not leave dots on the skin, no numbing is required and no pain is felt during the procedure. It is even safe for teenagers.

Traditional and highly effective Plasma Fibroblast treatment does come with some considerations including the recovery time (“dots” on the face) and a small risk of hyperpigmentation. Patients should stay out of the sun and skip the gym for a week. 

If these provisions sound like they may be difficult for you, a series of JET Plasma treatments that are proven to tighten the skin, shrink pores, improve laxity, promote high levels of collagen regeneration, treat hyperpigmentation, and treat acne, and may be for you!

JET Plasma Aftercare

Aftercare for Jet Plasma is simple. Do not apply anything , including make up to the skin for 12 hours, anddo not exercise, sauna, or steam. The skin may have some mild redness and feel tight.

What Happens During A Treatment?

You may feel some heat from the jet plasma device energy – but it is very minimal. This energy causes lax skin to contract, resulting in the production of collagen and elastin, as well as a general rejuvenating effect. The constriction of the skin can be seen with the naked eye right away as the cell membranes tighten as a result of a series of physiological events. 

JET Plasma treatments do not include cutting, injecting, numbing, burning, or removing skin or tissue. One treatment generally consists of the entire face, but Jet Plasma can also be used on most parts of the body. 

The majority of JET Plasma treatments last for 20-30 minutes. We utilize the most advanced plasma technology.

What Results Can Be Expected?

A series of treatments is always recommended for the best results. JET Plasma is also highly effective at diminishing hyperpigmentation by suppressing melanin produced in the deepest layer of the epidermis. 

Acne treatment with JET Plasma is highly successful, especially when paired with our medical-grade skin care products, and is safe for teenagers. 

Tightening and Improvement of Symptoms

You may see tightening and improvement of symptoms following your first session, but a package of at least 3 or more is recommended. Consultation is required to discuss your desired outcome and the best treatment for your needs. 

Like Plasma Fibroblast, improvements in the skin may be seen for up to 8-12 weeks post-procedure as your body is stimulated to begin to produce collagen.

How long the effect of the treatment lasts depends on the number of treatments and your personal aging process. You’ll continue to age as you normally would and your skin will continue to extend and relax as part of the natural aging process. Every individual is unique. Typically, treatment results may last between 2-5 years.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do jet plasma nonsurgical facial treatments compare to surgical facial treatments?

A: Jet plasma treatments are a much less invasive and are a more affordable option than surgery. Jet plasma treatments use plasma energy to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which improves the appearance of the skin by restoring its elasticity and firmness.

Surgical facial treatments, such as face lifts, can be expensive and may involve downtime for recovery. Jet plasma treatments are completed in a single session with no downtime required.

Q: What type of treatment is done with the Jet plasma device?

A: A jet plasma pen is considered a type of cold plasma. It uses a gas, such as helium, argon, nitrogen, or air, to create a jet of plasma that is ejected from the pen tip.

Cold plasma has become an increasingly popular treatment for skin conditions such as aging skin, sun damage, scars, and stretch marks. It is also being used in medical procedures such as liposuction and vein treatments.

What is Milia and How Do I Get Rid of It?!

June 5, 2023 by debbiedavis

Have you noticed little white bumps on your face that won’t go away, no matter how much you scrub your skin? These bumps might be milia, a common skin condition that occurs when dead skin cells become trapped beneath the surface of your skin.

Milia is often mistaken for acne, but unlike acne, milia won’t go away easily and cannot be popped. The bumps are usually small, white or yellow in color, and can appear anywhere on the face, including the eyelids, cheeks, and forehead. Although milia is more common in babies and young children, it can happen to anyone, regardless of age.

So, what causes milia? 

There are a few different factors that can contribute to its development. First, milia can be caused by clogged pores due to an overproduction of sebum. This can happen when your skin produces too much oil, which can also contribute to acne breakouts. Excess oil from skincare products can also be to blame. Second, milia can be caused by damage to the skin, such as sunburn or injury that results in blisters. Lastly, dry skin can be the cause for these pesky white bumps that you can’t get rid of. 

While milia is generally harmless and doesn’t pose a major health risk, it can be unsightly and bothersome. Fortunately, there are ways to get rid of it.

So how do you get rid of it? 

The BioRePeel from Sleekskin® Aesthetics is an excellent way to treat the skin and rid the pores of milia-causing debris. Additionally, professionally done extractions could  remove ones that have already formed without causing scarring or further damage to the skin. Another option is to use topical treatments, such as the Sleekskin® Retinol Radiance or Sleekskin® Overnight Facial Exfoliant, to help slough off dead skin cells and promote cell turnover.

If you want to prevent milia from developing in the first place, there are a few things you can do. The first is to avoid using heavy or oily skincare products that can clog pores. Instead, trust a professional (such as Sleekskin®) to determine what products are best for your skin type. 

In conclusion, milia is a common skin condition that can be frustrating to deal with, but it is treatable. If you’re struggling with milia, don’t suffer anymore. Instead, schedule your appointment with Sleekskin® today, and remember prevention is key, so take good care of your skin to keep it healthy and glowing.
