Medical Grade Skin Care Products
Dr. Merriman’s aesthetician will work with you to determine which products will be most effective for your specific needs and concerns. A consistent skin care routine can enhance and help to maintain the effectiveness of any surgical or non invasive procedure you may have chosen for yourself. These medical-grade products are clinically proven and carry increased strengths that cannot be found in department stores.
Celluma Light Therapy
Celluma is a comprehensive, low-level light therapy device that is specifically designed for pain management and skincare. In the same way that plants can convert chlorophyll to sunlight, this FDA-approved therapy uses high intensity light emitting diodes (LEDs) at specific wavelengths of light, which in turn trigger a natural response of repairing and replenishing of cells in human skin. In other words, the LED light source from a Celluma therapy gives compromised skin cells added energy, so the cells’ performance is enhanced.
Research about Celluma has shown that this unique therapy can help with a variety of issues, and Celluma is proven to help:
- Kill acne bacteria
- Decrease inflammation
- Increase circulation
- Accelerate tissue repair
- Improve skin clarity, texture, and tone
- Ease muscle and joint pain, stiffness, spasm, and arthritis
Unlike other devices on the market that claim to use light energy to promote healing, Celluma is an all-in-one system that offers convenient solutions to help you manage your skin health, treat specific conditions, and accommodate different parts of the body.
ProCell Microneedling
Microneedling with growth factor serums by ProCell! Microneedling has become one of the most sought-after procedures in the country in the last few years. Come in and see what all the talk is about! Microneedling creates tiny perforations in the skin which initiate a natural healing response. These perforations cause a healing cascade that produces new collagen and elastin resulting in firmer, healthier skin. We combine this with our all-new microneedling solutions that are specifically formulated to trigger the collagen-producing cells in your body to go into overdrive and create permanent new healthy skin!
ProCell Microneedling tips were designed so there would be no risk of back flow of fluids causing cross contamination which has been a problem with the other “pen style” microneedling machines. ProCell larger sized tips also allow for a tapping, rather than a dragging, motion which creates a nice vertical pattern of micro-channels in the skin.
Dragging a pen across the skin is the only way smaller tips can treat larger areas more quickly, but it creates a “cat scratch” effect that has been nicely demonstrated in clay models. In the last few years, microneedling has made a huge splash because of how effective it is and how quickly it works. With as few as two treatments, microneedling has been shown to improve the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, acne scars, age-spots/sun spots, and stretch marks. It can also help increase the effectiveness of topical hair growth serums.
The Perfect Derma Peel
Unlike other facial peels, The Perfect Derma Peel is a non-invasive, almost-painless treatment that has only 2 to 4 days of peeling associated with its application. This unique treatment combines powerful and effective ingredients together with acids that deliver serious results after a single treatment.
The Perfect Derma Peel promises:
- Lifting of fine lines and wrinkles
- Reduction in hyperpigmentation (including Melasma)
- Minimal burning is associated with the application of the treatment
- Can be used on all skin types, and for all ethnicities
- Rejuvenation of tired skin
- Requires no preconditioning prior to treatment
The Perfect Derma Peel takes approximately 15 minutes to apply, and the amount of peeling that results from the treatment is primarily on the epidermis layer on the skin. Peeling typically begins on day 3 post-treatment and is over by day 7. Results from The Perfect Derma Peel last for up to 6 months, and most people find that 2-4 treatments per year helps sustain desired results.
Products We Offer:

Lumenis M22 IPL Photorejuvenation
Lumenis is a pioneer in aesthetic medicine and established the first Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology specifically to treat conditions related to skin damage caused by the sun. M22™ is a Modular Aesthetic Laser Multi-Application Platform; a device used in treatment of over 30 skin conditions and hair removal. Physicians around the world use this device to treat a vast variety of patients and conditions, all with excellent outcomes.
Photorejuvenation (also called a photofacial) uses light in an IPL technology that heals skin from within by absorbing melanin and oxyhemoglobin. This process encourages skin to heal itself through controlled direct impact on your skin cells. A Photorejuvenation procedure may be for you if you want to:
- Manage a variety of skin conditions
- Reduce the appearance of sun spots, fine lines and wrinkles, and age spots
- Reduce pores and acne spots
- Treat skin conditions connected to the effects of aging
- Tackle redness and other signs of rosacea
This non-invasive, life-changing technology makes the skin on your face look more youthful, with little downtime and fast, effective results!
Lumenis M22 ResurFX
The Lumenis ResurFX is another function of the Lumenis M22™ device that uses a laser to achieve its results. Unlike other devices, the ResurFX is optimized for patient comfort as well as effectiveness, and is a non-ablative device. This means that the ResurFX stimulates the skin to develop collagen production without harming or ablating any of the skin it comes into contact with.
ResurFX may be for you if you want to:
- Treat age and/or sun spots
- Minimize fine lines and wrinkles
- Eliminate stretch marks
- Manage your skin tone, hyperpigmentation or discoloration
- Decrease scars from acne
- Tighten loose skin
ResurFX procedures require a single pass over the skin while using a topical anesthetic, and recovery time is short. While some redness or minor, sunburn-like irritation may occur, these effects typically subside after a few days. Many people find that 3-4 treatments spaced one month apart is enough to get them to the skin of their dreams, and your technician will work with you to determine the best plan for you and your skin’s needs!
