Goodbye Winter, Hello Spring!

08 April 2019

Now that spring is underway, it’s time for “spring cleaning mode” to officially kick in. Well… our “spring” cleaning may have come a little early this year while Tribeca MedSpa was being renovated, but what has spring cleaning looked like for you? Is it decluttering your office? Cleaning out your closet? Purging through your child’s old toys? While cleaning all those spaces definitely makes us feel accomplished, let’s admit it… it’s easy to neglect the one thing we carry with us every single day. Our skin!!!

Whether you’re a skincare fanatic or just dipping your toes, the turn of the season is one of the most important times of year to check in with your skin. The transition from winter to spring can be a shock to the skin, causing dryness, dullness or irritation. The harsh winter may have taken a toll on your complexion and now is the perfect time to revive your springtime glow.

Tribeca MedSpa’s Dry Skin Repair treatment is the perfect restorative fix. It starts with dermaplaning, to manually exfoliate dead skin cells, revealing a layer of fresh, healthy new ones. This first step leaves your skin soft and bright, allowing for cosmeceuticals to penetrate and renew the skin more effectively. Next, we treat the skin with a light chemical exfoliation to revive the skin from within, revealing a healthy, vibrant appearance. Lastly, the treatment includes a biocellulose mask to soothe the skin and intensely hydrate. This cooling mask leaves your skin dewy with an immediate glow.

One of Tribeca MedSpa’s most popular treatments is the Laser Retexturizing Treatment, which combines dermaplaning with laser genesis to instantly transform dry, dull skin. The treatment begins with dermaplaning to mechanically exfoliate dead skin cells, revealing a brighter, smoother complexion. Then, the newly revealed cells are treated with laser genesis to stimulate collagen production, refine pores, diffuse redness and even skin tone. With no downtime, this treatment reveals a vibrant complexion and immediate, natural glow.

Prevent Premature Aging

05 October 2018

First and foremost, we all know how important it is to treat your skin right. Forget all the products with harsh chemicals and ingredients that just end up clogging your pores, or even dehydrating your skin. At Tribeca MedSpa, we emphasize the importance of a customized skin regimen, tailored to what your skin needs; after all, no two skin types are the same.

There are many skin treatments that help maintain skin’s youthfulness, health and glow. One of the most popular treatments among both men and women is our Laser Retexturizing Treatment. This treatment combines a deep exfoliation with a rejuvenating laser session. The most common methods of exfoliation are dermaplaning and vibradermabrasion, both which remove any dead, dry skin cells. This exfoliation is followed by Laser Genesis, which eliminates fine lines and wrinkles, large pores and uneven skin tone. This laser stimulates collagen production, promoting vibrancy and combating premature aging. The combination of treatments makes a perfect pair since the exfoliation allows the laser to penetrate deep into the layers of the skin, revealing a rejuvenated, healthy appearance and texture.

Using the right products can do wonders to prevent signs of premature aging such as wrinkles, sun damage and a dry, dull complexion as well. Lately we have been loving LifeLine Skincare to combat signs of aging. LifeLine uses a unique combination of concentrated peptides and growth factors derived from non-embryonic stem-cells to create products that will reveal a brighter complexion, while minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. LifeLine’s products also prevent dehydration while promoting firmness and tightness of the skin. Check out LifeLine’s Day Serum, Night Serum, Eye Cream, Neck Cream and Exfoliator here.

Lastly, there are many precautions to take at home to fight the signs of premature aging. Click here to read about how the foods you eat can affect your skin and aging process- we all know, you are what you eat!

The Importance of Your Skin Being Ready for Summer

01 May 2018

Now that summer is around the corner, we can only imagine the list of things on your to-do list: fish out the bathing suits, flips flops and sunhats, pick up some sunscreen, plan the next family beach day, or a trip to the water park for the kids… but there’s one more thing to add to that checklist… taking care of your skin. Even if you can’t find the time for regular facials, or a strict skincare regimen is overwhelming, the turn of the season is the most important time to show your skin some extra love. The change in the weather can be abrupt, especially here in New York City. Your skin needs some TLC and we’ve got just the trick.

Getting rid of all the dead skin cells and build up from the past months is one of the most effective ways to prep your skin for the upcoming season. The Laser Retexturizing treatment is a favorite among both men and women, and combines exfoliation with a rejuvenating laser treatment to stimulate collagen production and reveal a smoother and brighter complexion immediately. You’ll reap the benefits of this treatment all summer long!

One form of exfoliation, excellent on its own or paired in the Laser Retexturizing treatment is Dermaplaning. Dermaplaning gently removes the outer most layers of dead skins using a 10 gauge scalpel. This painless treatment removes peach fuzz, allowing your products to sink into your skin or makeup application to appear flawless. Dermaplaning’s effects are immediate and include brighter, smoother skin. Even better, this treatment is safe for women who are pregnant or nursing!

Another great treatment for the turn of the season is a Glycolic Peel. As we age, our skin cell turnover naturally slows down, which can lead to a dull, dry appearance. Peels stimulate that cell turnover, restoring the radiant and vibrant appearance of youthful skin.

If you’re looking to revamp your skincare routine or add something to your beach bag arsenal, here are a few summer-time favorites that allow you to treat your skin at home or on the go.

Rose Water is an essential product all year long, but even more so during the summer. This mist is hands-down the most versatile product, and is perfect for daily pick-me ups on hot summer days. Try keeping yours in the refrigerator for a refreshing and cooling spray. Rose Water is known for its calming properties, and is excellent for reducing redness and irritation from the hot, sticky weather. Rose Water also soothes, which makes it the perfect toner if you accidentally get sunburn.  At Tribeca MedSpa, we love to carry Rose Water with us to wipe our skin down in between sunscreen applications, or to hydrate after a swim… Chlorine and salt water can be harsh!

Another must-have is SkinCeuticals’ Phyto Corrective Masque. This cooling gel is packed with concentrated botanical extracts, great to soothe aggravated skin or to hydrate and restore. This masque alleviates discomfort while reducing redness, making it the perfect masque post-sun exposure or after swimming in chlorine and salt water.

Vitamin C is an essential product for all year long, but can be especially useful during the summertime. SkinCeutical’s CE Ferulic works on a molecular level to protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays and other environmental damage. CE Ferulic’s unique formulation also soothes the skin, and is perfect to help heal sunburn.

Of course, we can’t forget about sunscreen, so read about some of our favorites here and protect your skin from those harmful rays. You’ll thank us later.
