We’re diving into this world of treatments to help you level up your beauty game. CHEMICAL PEELS If you’re ready for a skin transformation, a chemical peel is your new BFF. Charleston’s humid climate can lead to some skin woes, but chemical peels are here to rescue you. They whisk away sun damage, uneven tones and pesky clogged pores, leaving behind a glowing complexion. Renee Puckett, owner and injector at Anew You Aesthetics and Med Spa, commented, “Chemical peels are one of my favorite procedures — good for the face and body. You get painless, effective results for sun damage, hyperpigmentation, acne, fine lines, wrinkles and more.” Imagine a fresh start for your skin, like a breezy afternoon at the beach. Light and medium peels are quick and require minimal downtime, perfect for Charleston ladies always on the move. MICRODERMABRASION Microdermabrasion is like a gentle, playful dance for your skin. It’s the secret to smoother, more youthfullooking skin without any drama. Using a special device, it gently exfoliates the skin’s top layer, revealing the healthier skin hiding beneath. In Charleston, microdermabrasion is as common as sweet tea on a porch swing. It’s quick, painless and requires no downtime. MEDICAL-GRADE SKINCARE It’s important to not forget about the magic potions that are medical-grade skincare products. They’re like the little black dresses of your beauty routine — timeless and essential. Charleston’s savvy beauty enthusiasts know that great skin starts with the right products, and medicalgrade skincare delivers the goods. From luxurious serums that hydrate like summer rain to powerhouse creams that defy time itself, these products are your secret weapon for maintaining your radiant glow between treatments. Samantha Katz, owner of SkinGlow Collective, noted, “The sooner you incorporate medical grade products, the greater your return will be on your investment. It is never too early to begin caring for your skin. Please, always wear a mineral SPF of 30 or greater; it is the number one way to prevent premature aging and skin cancer.” LASER TREATMENTS Also turning heads in Charleston, are a plethora of laser treatments such as BBL Hero, Moxi and Halo.
