Glycolic Acid is one of the most popular natural skin peeling treatments to restore youthful glow while firming and toning the skin. Glycolic produces minimal visible peeling which is why it is often called the “lunchtime peel”. We offer a range of glycolic acid peel strengths suitable for the first timer up to the professional. Silva MD is an authorized provider of ZO (Zein Obagi MD) products that includes a medical grade stimulator peel.

Glycolic acid peels are recommended to shrink pores and improve the overall look of skin on your face and neck. Made up of a derivative of sugar cane, glycolic acid peels are a medium-grade form of chemical peel, meaning that they target the epidermis of your skin rather than penetrating down to the deeper layers.

Salicylic Acid chemical peels work to reduce bacteria, inflammation and excessive sebum from deep within the pore that can otherwise proliferate and create a rough, blotchy appearance. The multifaceted Salicylic chemical peel gently addresses many of the systemic root causes of acne blemishes. Aside from Salicylic Acid’s appetite for acne, its function as an anti-fungal agent can also provide substantial relief to those suffering from chronic yeast overgrowth (Candida). Salicylic Acid peels also provide marked improvements in skin tone, texture and clarity.

Salicylic Acid is a beta hydroxy acid and is the only oil soluble acid used in skin care. This makes it particularly suited to acne prone skin and oily skin types. Salicylic Acid helps dissolve dirt, sebum and debris in your pores that cause blackheads, enlarged pores and acne breakouts. It also helps reduce oil production and provides gentle exfoliation.

Medical Grade peels are excellent treatments for aging skin, melasma, fine lines, large pores, sun damage, uneven texture and dull skin. Silva MD is an authorized provider of the ZO (Zein Obagi MD) 3 Step peel which utilizes a blend of exfoliants including lactic acid, salicylic acid, tea and retinol.

Perfect 10 Intermediate Peel is recommended for Fitzpatrick I (pale), II (fair), III (darker white skin) and for sensitive, normal and tolerant skin. Perfect 10 Universal Peel is for all skin types including Fitzpatrick IV (light brown skin), V (brown skin], VI (dark brown or black skin) and ideal for sensitive skin. This treatment is integrated with all trans retinol complex, propriety acid blend and antioxidants. These advanced peels improve dull uneven skin tone and texture, fine lines, large pores and discoloration. Dr. Melinda Silva has experience treating darker and ethnic skin types. 

The PRP facial is done by a Registered Nurse or Doctor combining PRP (platelet rich plasma) and microneedling.

The benefits of using PRP (from your blood) is to use your body’s own cells to stimulate new tissue and healthier skin with less risk of allergic reaction. The PRP contains growth factors which are beneficial for healing injuries. The PRP helps damaged aging skin to produce new collagen and elastin for a healthier and more youthful skin. Your skin will be rejuvenated with smoother, clearer and glowing complexion!
