Healthy skin rarely just happens on its own. Most of us reach a point where home care is not quite enough and a little professional help starts to make sense. That is where skin treatments step in. They do not have to feel harsh or dramatic. Done thoughtfully, they simply help your skin look more like itself on its best days.
At Vive Aesthetics, we like to match each person with a treatment that fits their skin, their goals, and their comfort level. Some people want a gentle reset. Others want to go a bit deeper and really target texture, fine lines, or old breakouts. The treatments below all work in different ways, yet they share one goal. Healthier skin that feels smoother, brighter, and more confident to live in.
Chemical Peels
A chemical peel can be as light or as transformative as you need it to be. Picture it as a guided exfoliation. Instead of scrubbing at the surface, a carefully chosen solution encourages the top, tired layers of skin to shed so fresher skin can come forward.
We often see chemical peels help with dull tone, mild pigment, and that uneven texture that makeup never fully covers. Some clients notice a new clarity after just one session. Others build results slowly over a series of gentle peels. There might be a few days of light flaking or dryness. Then, almost suddenly, the skin starts to look a little cleaner and less weighed down.
PRX Derm Perfexion
PRX Derm Perfexion is different from what most people imagine when they think of a peel. There is no heavy peeling and no long hiding at home, which surprises a lot of first time patients. It is applied in layers during a treatment that feels more like a firm massage than a traditional peel.
The goal is to stimulate the deeper layers of the skin while keeping the surface intact. Many people notice a tighter, more lifted look over time, along with improved texture. I have seen clients look in the mirror after a series and pause for a second, as if they are still deciding whether the change is real. It usually is. It is just subtle enough to feel like you, only a little more refreshed.
SkinPen Microneedling
SkinPen Microneedling: Rejuvenate Your Skin with Precision and Care. That is the simplest way to say it. This treatment uses very fine needles to create controlled micro channels in the skin. The body reads that as a signal to repair. Fresh collagen and elastin begin to form. Over a series of sessions, skin can look smoother, a bit firmer, and more even.
We often recommend SkinPen for fine lines, acne scarring, and overall texture. There may be some temporary pinkness after the appointment, something like a mild sun experience, and then the gradual improvements begin. It is not an overnight change, and maybe that is part of why it feels so natural. Your own skin is doing the work. We are just guiding the process.
Whether you are curious about chemical peels, PRX Derm Perfexion, SkinPen, or a mix tailored just for you, the first step is a simple conversation. You tell us what you see in the mirror and what you hope to see instead. Together, we decide which skin treatment fits that picture and helps you move toward it, one visit at a time.
