Get Glowing this Summer with Lisa's Top Picks!

With summer comes outdoor activities that can make you more sensitive to the sun when using certain products or procedures. Our talented aesthetician, Lisa Black, complied her favorite products for summer that allows you to continue with your skin care regimen throughout these sun-filled months.

1. Sunscreen (A MUST) - Obagi Sunshield SPF 50; provides great coverage with a light weight, non greasy feel. AND Obagi sunscreens carry the Skin Cancer Foundation Seal of Recommendation.

2. Laser Hair Removal - YES you can still have treatments to remove unwanted hair in the summer months! The areas best to treat in the summer because of less sun exposure would be the underarms. Treatments are quick and at an affordable price! Those daring for the Brazilian hair removal are excellent candidates as well.

3. Blemish free, smooth skin is always in season. Summer months are an excellent time for microdermabrasions and facials! Chemical peels and photofacials can make you photosensitive, so keep up your glowing complexion with a relaxing facial and exfoliate with a microderm treatment.

4. Dry skin doesn't just happen in the winter. Skinceuticals Hydrating B5 Gel provides enough moisture to get you through all 4 seasons. Not only is it good for your face, but provides excellent hydration to the hands, elbows, knees, and feet - or anywhere you have dry skin!

Move Over Makeup Mirror

Last month we introduced our Computerized Skin Analysis Imaging System. We have had such a great response to the technology! Our clients can't believe their eyes when they view their results. We are always happy when a session reveals healthy, glowing skin. But, when the results are not so pleasing, we are proud to be able to offer our clients a customized treatment plan to treat the areas of concern. We have a full repertoire of options to create a unique plan for each client. This imaging system allows us to track the progression of our clients during their treatment. We can make adjustments as necessary based on subsequent analysis sessions. It really takes the guess work out of prescribing a skin care and treatment regimen.

The Computerized Skin Analysis Imaging System can help identify a variety of conditions. Some are visible to the naked eye, while many have not made it to the surface yet. Being able to recognize these issues before early gives us the opportunity to treat our clients before the conditions become a problem! Just a few conditions revealed by the system include:
*Dehydration / Dry Skin
*Dead Skin
*Inflammation
*Oily skin
*Acne or bacteria
*pH imbalance
*Problems with circulation
*Sun damage
*Hyperpigmenation

If an area of concern is identified, our licensed aesthetician, Lisa Black, will work with you to prepare a targeted treatment plan. Options for treatment may include: (click on each option to learn more)
*Intense Pulsed Light Therapy
*Chemical Peels
*Facials
*Micropeel and Micropeel Plus
*Microdermabrasion
*Physician Directed Skin Care
*Laser Therapy

We also have our Medical Director, Dr George Lee, on site each day. He is available to confer with Lisa and assist in prescribing treatment for our clients.

Here are a few pictures of previous imaging sessions.

Introducing - The Skinceuticals Micropeel and Micropeel Plus Facial Treatments

We are pleased to announce that we are NOW OFFERING the Skinceuticals Micropeel and Micropeel Plus. These revolutionary exfoliation treatments reduce the signs of againg to reveal glowing, flawless skin. Cumberland Aesthetic Laser Center is currently the ONLY medical spa in Clarksville offering this innovative facial rejuvenation treatment from Skinceuticals. We can also track your progress towards healthy, beautiful skin using our Skin Analysis Imaging System!


Micropeel
The SkinCeuticals Micropeel is a three-step clinical procedure combining dermaplaning (physical exfoliation), chemical exfoliation, and cryogenic therapy to reduce signs of photoaging including fine lines, wrinkles, dullness, and visible skin imperfections in a series of 4-6 procedures.

Micropeels are a 3-step process to help to improve skin texture and radiance, firmer skin, diminish fine lines and wrinkles, lighten dark spots and even-out skin tone, reduce acne blemishes and help prevent future breakouts, and revitalize sensitive skin while decongesting pores.

First Step- Manual Exfoliation, Dermaplane
A manual exfoliation technique used to clear away dry, dead, superfluous skin layers. Dermaplaning immediately diminishes the appearance of dry fine lines that are evident on aging skin, increases the rate of absorption of skincare products, and provides a healthier more radiant appearance.

Second Step- Chemical Exfoliation
Whether you are looking for a light exfoliation, agressive exfoliation, or a treatment to control breakouts and improve texture, there is a Chemical exfoliation specifically for you!

Third Step- Cryogenic Therapy
Cryotherapy is an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial freezing procedure which increases the rate of cell turnover and leaves skin feeling cool and tight.

Benefits of the Micropeel
•Improves skin texture and radiance
•Helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles
•Supports healthy collagen levels for firmer skin

It's INSTANT GRATIFICATION without the downtime!! You can even reapply your makeup immediately following the treatment.

Micropeel Plus
The Micropeel Plus procedure is a unique one-step treatment of chemical exfoliation designed to reduce acne, keep problematic skin clear of breakouts, and help correct enviormental skin damage. Micropeel Plus 30 Solution is formulated with a combination of salicylic acid to refine pores and help reduce the apperance of acne and glycolic acid to aid in the improvement of rough texture, blotchiness, and uneven skin tone.

Benefits of the Micropeel Plus
•Reduces acne blemishes and helps prevent future breakouts
•Dissolves sebum and cellular debris in pores
•Encourages cell renewal
•Improves the appearance of skin discolorations

Introducing Advanced Skin Analysis Technology!

A professional skin consultation with a trained consultant is a necessity when investing in a treatment regimen. A thorough consultation involves removing all makeup, allowing the consultant to look at and touch the bare skin, and having a computerized skin analysis. We are now offering the DermaFlash Computerized Skin Analysis for our clients to assist in prescribing the correct skin care regimen. No longer do we have to guess what is below the surface of the skin. Our computerized skin analysis machine allows the consultant to look below the surface to not only see healthy skin but to also identify areas such as dehydration, oiliness, sun damage, inflammation, bacterial infection and a variety of other conditions. Using specialized light inside the DermaFlash unit, skin conditions are revealed as they are illuminated in different colors by the process of fluorescence. These colors are interpreted by our trained consultant and a treatment regimen can be created. Many of these issues have not come to the surface yet so they can be treated in advance! After beginning a prescribed treatment we are able to track your progress with subsequent skin analysis visits and make changes as necessary. You are choosing to make an investment in your skin health, don't leave it up to guesswork.

Skin care advice from a department store makeup counter or day spa is little more than a sales pitch, and retail stores cannot offer pharmaceutical-grade products that can effectively heal damaged skin. At Cumberland Aesthetic Laser Center, our aesthetician partners with our on-site physician, allowing us to use prescription strength treatments when necessary. Not only is your current skin health analyzed, but your overall medical history, including medication therapies, is reviewed and considered when creating a treatment plan. Using advanced products and treatments, she can help you improve your skin's texture, tone, and overall appearance.


Schedule your COMPLIMENTARY skin consultation today by calling 931-552-3292.

Our professional skin consultations with our aesthetician is COMPLIMENTARY. However, to reserve your appointment time, we do require an active credit card on file. We request a minimum cancellation notification of 24 hours prior to your scheduled consultation appointment.

Why Chose Our Laser/Light System?

We have invested in the most advanced Laser/Light technology available. Cumberland Aesthetic Laser Center exclusively uses the Palomar StarLux 500 laser/light platform. This advanced system allows us to offer you a wide range of therapies, including permanent hair removal, wrinkle reduction, removal of sun/age spots and facial veins, treatment of rosacea and facial redness, reduction of scars and striae, skin rejuvenation through photofacials, and fractionated skin resurfacing. This comprehensive system allows for results as good as the traditional CO2 laser with LESS DOWNTIME and LESS DISCOMFORT!

The intense pulsed light hair removal system makes permanent reduction in facial and body hair possible with less treatments and less discomfort than traditional procedures. In fact, Palomar was the first permanent hair reduction system to be approved by the FDA. Since then, Palomar lasers have been the industry standard that all others have been compared to. Lasers, although clinically effective, have skin limitations regarding skin color, hair color and hair thickness. Subsequent new technology developments from Palomar led to new, groundbreaking pulsed light technology that allows for permanent hair removal for clients of all skin types.

The fractional laser skin resurfacing treatments maximize aesthetic results with less downtime and less risk than other therapies. It's the smart approach to skin resurfacing that uses microbeams to create areas of treated tissue surrounded by untreated tissue, which provides faster healing and reduced side effects. Unlike traditional CO2 treatment, which is painful and requires extensive downtime, fractional ablative wrinkle treatment from Palomar uses pulses of laser light that deliver excellent long-term results in just one treatment performed by Dr. Lee.

For many people, looking great is a simple matter of a skin rejuvenation treatment for pigment and vessel clearance to reveal clearer, more attractive skin. Palomar has a treatment for pigment and vessel clearance that's fast, easy and well-tolerated. We can treat all areas of the body, hands, arms, legs, chest, and face!
