We all have that “one” skincare issue we overly critique ourselves about … maybe it’s insecurity about wrinkles or sunspots. Maybe you’ve let an acne breakout keep you from outings with friends, gatherings with family. Perhaps you’re just feeling like your skin isn’t as firm and healthy as it once was. Thankfully, there’s a solution—in fact, it’s just over off Branch Hill-Guinea.

Heather Buckles, esthetician at Embody SKIN Care & Medical Spa, is well-versed on the positive effects of combining light procedures with skincare product routines—a duo that’s not only a unique approach to healthy skin, but also a healthy lifestyle.  

Want to reassess your own skin regimen? Heather reveals three common skin problems that clients often need help with—and how Embody treatments and products work to rejuvenate and renew those target areas.

Challenge #1: Sagging, loose or wrinkled skin on the face and neck

1. Recommended service: Radio Frequency Microneedling. This is very different than Skin Pen Microneedling because it stimulates the skin’s natural repair process and production of collagen and elastin.

2. Recommended product complement: SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5 Gel. This hyaluronic acid-based serum replenishes moisture and restores radiance for a smoother complexion.

Challenge #2: Acne or skin prone to breakouts

1. Recommended service: Chemical peels and microdermabrasion.

2. Recommended product complement: SkinCeuticals Glycolic 10 Overnight Cream. This nighttime cream delivers a 10 percent glycolic acid value to promote cellular turnover for healthy, glowing skin.

Challenge #3: Discoloration and sun damage

1. Recommended service: Clear and Brilliant.

2. Recommended product complement: SkinCeuticals Phyto Corrective Masque. A leave-on, rinse-off or overnight calming botanical face mask that hydrates skin and soothes sensitivity. 

MORE TO KNOW: Certified in dermaplaning (gently scraping away the top layer of skin), chemical peels (a solution applied to skin to remove damaged outer layers), microdermabrasion (where an instrument gently sands skin) and microcurrents (when low-grade currents are used to contour, firm and tone muscles and skin), Heather says she loves these treatments because they produce immediate results. All improve the overall appearance, tone and texture of your skin—leaving it rejuvenated, healthier and smoother.
