The Blizzard Peel is the lightest laser skin peel offered by Soulstis Med Spa. Blizzard Peels are ideal for people with skin that is in good overall condition, or for those that want some benefit of a peel but don't have the luxury of downtime that deeper peels require. Blizzard Peels bring brighter, tighter, smoother skin to patients. These peels also allow for better penetration of skincare ingredients.
What to expect: No anesthesia is required, instead cold air is blown onto the treatment area to minimize discomfort. The procedure is easily tolerated by most patients, although some experience warmth in certain spots. The procedure lasts approximately 15 minutes. Typically, skin peels lightly all over within a week and additional moisturizer is recommended.
For best results: No significant downtime is required. Patients may experience redness 24 to 48 hours following the procedure. For best results, maintenance of one peel every three to four months is advised. For patients looking for dramatic changes in their skin without the recovery time, a series of 7-10 peels performed every 3 weeks can give similar results to a moderate level peel.
A photodynamic laser therapy treatment for moderate to severe cystic acne, sun damage or precancerous skin lesions on the face and scalp called actinic karatosis. Levulan® also tightens pores and improves wrinkles, skin texture and pigmentation.
What to expect: Minimal initial redness following treatment.
For best results: 1 – 2 treatments.
A collagen stimulating procedure done using the nationally acclaimed SCITON™Profile laser. The procedure utilizes a broadband of light energy to deeply heat dermal collagen. This process promotes partial denaturation and contraction of collagen. The heat also initiates the body’s natural healing process, which creates a renewed collagen foundation leading to increased skin firmness. The most common procedure area is the face and neck, but SkinTyte™ can also be performed on the arms, thighs, buttocks and belly for younger, smoother looking skin.
What to expect: The SkinTyte™ light energy is delivered in a sequence of rapid, gentle pulses. Treatment time depends on treatment area and you may experience initial redness following the treatment. There is no downtime required, so you can resume regular activities immediately following the treatment. You can also apply makeup and sunscreen after each session. Minimal recovery is required.
For best results: Full results often take up to four months as the collagen foundation of your skin is rebuilt and strengthened. 2 – 3 treatments are recommended.
An epidermal laser peel that removes and resurfaces the outermost layers of the skin for wrinkle reduction, actinic keratosis, sun or precancerous spots and pigment issues.
What to expect: Recovery ranges 2 – 3 days for 10 micron peel up to 7 days for a 30 micron peel.
For best results: 3 treatments.
A resurfacing procedure that tightens skin and treats sun and age spots, improves uneven pigmentation and improves wrinkles, stretch marks, and acne scars with minimal downtime and dramatic results. The ProFractional™ laser treatment is designed to target specific portions of damaged tissue, creating microscopic “wounds” within the targeted areas. As the “wounds” heal, damaged skin cells are replaced with new collagen and healthy tissue.
What to expect: Depending on the depth, recovery takes 1 – 2 days.
For best results: Full results may take 4 – 6 months as collagen is produced.
Laser hair reduction reduces excess or unwanted hair on all skin types without damaging the delicate pores and structures of the skin. Thicker, dark hair transforms into finer vellous hair as it responds to the laser. The procedure is done using a small hand piece which produces a gentle beam of light that passes through the skin to the hair follicle where it is absorbed. The laser energy is transformed into heat, which changes the hair follicle leaving the surrounding skin unaffected. The number of treatments required depends on your skin color, hair color, hair coarseness, and location of hair.
What to expect: Comfort level depends on the treatment area, but most patients experience minimal discomfort. Ice is frequently applied prior to some treatments to help with discomfort and analgesics may also be recommended. Healing time depends on the treatment, but typically no recovery time is required. Your skin may have a pink or red color that will resolve over time and patients are advised to avoid direct sun exposure on the treatment area. Some patients are more resistant to long term hair reduction and will need a higher number of initial treatments frequently to maintain treatments. Patients should expect to need on average one maintenance hair reduction treatment per year for best long term results. Rarely are patients completely resistant to laser treatments; however males frequently fall into this category.
For best results: Between 6-8 treatments may be needed depending on the area.
Eliminates or improves the appearance of vascular lesions to reticular leg and facial veins. The laser produces intense, gentle bursts of light that selectively destroy the blood vessels of the veins without damaging the surrounding tissue. While healing, new collagen is formed in deep layers of the skin and the blood vessels clot due to the effect of the laser light energy. Over several months, the veins gradually diminish.
What to expect: Typically no recovery time is required.
For best results: Several treatments may be needed depending on the area.
Improve red scars and recent surgical scars by using a high-energy light to remove the top layer of the skin.
What to expect: Minimal to no downtime.
For best results: Several treatments may be needed to achieve desired results.

What to expect: Minimal to no downtime.
For best results: Several treatments may be needed to achieve desired results.
