At Aesthetic Specialists we offer a variety of products perfect for use as under eye treatment. We love these products and the best news is that these products are available to you right off of our shelf so that you can start your journey to better skin care today!

ZO Skin Health Growth Factor Eye Serum

Growth factors can be applied anywhere you notice a loss of the quality of your skin due to environmental factors and/or aging. Powered by clinically proven ZO Growth Factor technology, Growth Factor Eye Serum was developed to improve the appearance of expression lines, creasing and hollowness while plumping the skin around the lower eye for a visibly revived look. The cooling applicator soothes the skin and re-invigorates the tired looking eye. If used repeatedly, the plumping effect of Growth Factor Eye Serum re-establishes a more youthful lower eye contour. Who doesn’t want a more youthful looking eye, right? A few more benefits of ZO Growth Factor Eye Serum are that it visibly improves the appearance of volume. When it comes to skin and aging, volume means everything because it establishes a full and youthful look. Without volume, the eye looks dull and tired. Adding Growth Factor Serum into your daily routine will add plumpness, restore hydration and improve volume.

 SkinCeuticals A.G.E. Eye Complex

This silky eye cream for dry to normal skin types, is an advanced anti-wrinkle product and is the one for you if you want to particularly target the aging and severely wrinkled eye. A.G.E Eye Complex offers instant and long-lasting anti-aging benefits to the eye area minimizing “crows feet” and restoring dry damaged skin to a more healthy appearance. The result from repeated use is utterly amazing. Optical diffusers instantly reduce the appearance of dark circles and capillaries while peptides work over the course of time to improve dark circles and puffiness.  A.G.E. Eye Complex contains blueberry extract and Matrixyl 3000 that nourishes while simultaneously boosting elasticity and skin thickness. The product is dye and alcohol free, making it the perfect complement to restore the aging eye to youth.

Alastin Restorative Eye Treatment

This state-of-the-art product is designed to reduce the appearance of dark circles as well as puffy eyes while smoothing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in the eye area. The skin beneath the eyes is thin and very vascular. As we age, our skin loses elasticity and after years of wrinkling as we talk, smile, and wince, the skin finds it more difficult to “bounce back”. Finally, the wrinkles, creases, and fine lines that we work so hard to avoid begin to set in. The solutions to this the Alastin Restorative Eye Treatment because it promotes a more even skin tone and works to clear out damaged elastin and collagen giving your skin the ammunition that it needs to “bounce back.” Thus, it eliminates those lines, “crow’s feet” and wrinkles, while encouraging the production of new, healthy elastin and collagen. There is no doubt that when the eyes appear youthful and radiant, the overall appearance of the face looks more beautiful. Alastin Restorative Eye Treatment is a great product for those seeking better eye contour or looking to improve elasticity and fine lines in the eye area.

Do you love the sun? Chances are the answer is a yes to that question. If you do, then do not hold back! Go for a run outside, take your kids to baseball practice, or plan a backyard picnic – just do not forget to take care of your skin. It is extremely easy to throw caution to the wind and take in all the warmth of the rays of the sun. This is a big mistake without protecting your skin with medical grade sunscreen! Show your skin some love and visit or call Aesthetic Specialists and find out about EltaMD® sunscreen products.

Do you have acne prone skin? Do you or have you suffered from acne flare ups in the past? Are you unhappy with the overall texture of your skin? Would you like to find an answer to your problem skin? This blog will explore a relatively new treatment that will improve the overall texture of normal to acne prone skin. Acne is a frustrating and complicated skin condition, and because of this it is often misunderstood. Acne is unsightly and can cause scarring with flare ups that have occurred over and over again. Some acne scars are superficial, but in many situations one can end up with a “pitted” texture to the skin. In this blog we will discover a treatment for acneic skin that has scarred over time. This treatment can be the answer to problem skin that is the result of prolonged acne.

SkinPen micro-needling is a skin rejuvenation procedure that helps improve your skin by stimulating its natural ability to produce collagen and repair itself. The SkinPen device is a micro-needling tool that uses small needles to create hundreds to thousands of “micro” skin punctures per second. This puncturing of the skin stimulates the skin’s natural healing process – causing inflammation, proliferation, and then remodeling – but without causing scar tissue formation, making it a very ideal treatment for acneic skin. In response to these micro-injuries, your body produces collagen and elastin to heal the wound naturally. Best of all, many clients see results after just one or two treatment sessions. 

With SkinPen microneedling, you can improve your appearance and step out with confidence! SkinPen is the first FDA (Food and Drug Administration) cleared device and is clinically proven to improve the appearance of wrinkles of the face, neck, and to improve acne scarring in patients ages 22 and older. In as few as three minimally invasive treatments spaced one-month apart, SkinPen effectively remodels the underlying tissues while keeping the overall structure of the skin intact. 

How should I prepare for SkinPen Microneedling?

Avoid sun exposure/burns twenty-four (24) hours prior to treatment. Discontinue use of retinoids twelve (12) hours prior to treatment. You should not have had a breakout of active cold sores, or open lesions. If this occurs, your microneedling treatment should be rescheduled. As a reminder it is always important to come to your SkinPen microneedling appointments with clean skin.

What is it best to avoid after treatment?

After SkinPen treatment it is best to avoid exercise and sun exposure for 72 hours. It is also best to forego other facial aesthetic treatments for one month following SkinPen. See your aesthetician for a one month follow up visit to check your progress and book the next treatment. Many clients are surprised to find out that they will need to wait at least 48 to 72 hours to apply make up products to the skin. This temporary ban on makeup even applies to a tinted moisturizer or tinted sunscreen. SkinPen treatments can safely be repeated every 4-6 weeks.

At Aesthetic Specialists our clients love SkinPen and many recommend it to their friends and family.  Studies have shown that 90% of SkinPen clients enjoy their results so much they recommend the treatment wholeheartedly. Don’t wait! Get started loving SkinPen today! Call (817)-912-1200 or visit Aesthetic Specialists and see for yourself what SkinPen is all about!
