For patients who want to turn back the clock on aging without going under the knife, SKIN MD Medspa in Dearborn is offering a growing menu of non-surgical skin treatments.
Dr. James Bazzi, medical director at both SKIN MD Medspa in Dearborn and Northville Beauty Spa, says the goal is to give patients results tailored specifically to their needs - not a one-size-fits-all approach.
“We can specifically tailor it toward your skin needs,” Bazzi said. “I think that’s the best option when treating them and then knowing when to use them.”
Among the treatments offered is the AquaFirm facial device, which Bazzi describes as a step beyond a standard deep clean.
“AquaFirm is a facial device that gives you a deeper clean, but it also gives you a little bit more of a glow,” he said. “It has plant-delivered exosomes. So, while giving you a cleaning, it also gives you a little bit of a benefit by giving you more of a glow to your face.”
For patients seeking longer-lasting results, the spa offers laser therapy and microneedling. The Helix CO2 laser, Bazzi said, is one of the more versatile tools in the practice’s arsenal.
“CO2 is a laser device that can be used for many different skin treatments or conditions,” he said. “It can be anywhere from superficial concerns like pigment, or it could be for much deeper concerns like deep wrinkles.”
Bazzi acknowledged that some patients hesitate when they hear “CO2 laser,” associating it with older technology that required significant recovery time. He said the newer device allows clinicians to dial in the intensity based on each patient’s needs and tolerance.
Microneedling is another option, sometimes paired with radiofrequency for added effect. Bazzi explained the science behind it in straightforward terms.
“It creates little micro punctures in the skin, and that tells the skin to start repairing itself and to start creating healing,” he said. “When that creates healing, it starts to build collagen and makes our skin a little more firm.”
For new patients unsure where to begin, Bazzi recommends starting with a consultation — and ideally, a facial.
“I tell people to get into the esthetician’s chair, get a facial, get that cleaning so they can get a deeper look and really understand your skin,” he said.
The spa also offers chemical peels and medical-grade topicals for at-home use, and Bazzi noted that many treatments, including chemical peels, can be safely performed during summer months.
