We are different than other clinics and physician offices. What defines us is the three E’s….

Education- Our team is highly educated. Even if a practitioner joins us with industry experience they receive further training before seeing our clients. Additionally we always focus on continued education and training. We keep abreast of all market trends and know what works!

Excellence- We focus on delivering the exact results our clients want to see. We pride ourselves on our creative talent. We have excellence in every service we perform. Not all practitioners are creatively talented. Ours ARE!!! True you can purchase some services for less elsewhere, but you may not get the exact consistent result you want. As an example, have you ever purchased a lesser expensive make-up item or shampoo only to not see great results as the item you usually use? Our services of course are more than make-up or a shampoo, but it’s the same principle…you get what you pay for!

Exceptional Service- The service a client receives at any of our clinics is a WOW experience. We know and understand how important great service is. We want to build relationships with our clients! Our goal is to help them look and feel better and become our clients for life! This is the single most important thing to separate us from the rest. We value our clients! We want to create that relationship with them from day one. Our goal is for the client to have the most enjoyable fulfilling experience at our clinics.

Skin Emergencies: Acne

May 11th, 2010

“I woke up with a big red pimple!”

Acne has many causes, incl genetics, hormonal changes, overactive sebaceous glands and the buildup of dead skin cells.  A pimple forms when sebum becomes trapped in the hair follicle and mixes w/ dead skin cells.

At Home Treatment: For acne, follow a regular at-home skin regime with cleansing, treatment serums and hydration. For example, IS Clinical Cleansing Complex, Active Serum, and Moisturizing Complex.

At Calidora: We offer several in-clinic treatment options such as Urgent Blemish Control, laser light therapy, and customized acne treatments and extractions by our estheticians.  Visit one of our client care coordinators for a full skin analysis to find out which treatments are best for you.  Also, try pairing a series of laser treatments with a series of esthetic treatments along with your home-care skin plan for maximum results.

“I stayed out last night at a party and now my skin looks dull, drab and lifeless.”

The skin is responsible for eliminating almost 10% of the body’s toxins.  Exposure to smoke & alcohol deprives the skin of oxygen and much needed nutrients, making it dull, sallow and dehydrated and prone to premature aging.

At Home Treatment: Make sure to drink lots of water and try sleeping more! For skin rejuvenation IS Clinical’s Poly Vitamin Serum revitalizes, hydrates and provides anti-aging benefits by promoting cellular regeneration and improving compromised skin.   Also, Youth Complex provides rapid wrinkle reduction, anti-aging, antioxidant protection, smoothing and softening of the skin and a subtle glow.

At Calidora: At Calidora, in-clinic treatments include laser light therapy for facial rejuvenation (providing lasting collagen stimulation and a long term “glow” vs. temporary fixes) and Skin Deep treatments to restore the texture and tone of your skin helping you to feel brighter and refreshed. Also, try a facial with microderm/dermasweep or a light chemical peel.

“When I woke up this morning, my eyes were puffy and swollen. Even concealer won’t help!”

Because the fragile skin under the eye is thinner than the rest of the face, dark circles and puffiness appear more prominent when there is lack of sleep or increased stress.

At Home Treatment: Use products targeting the eyes area for at-home defense against puffiness and dark circles such as IS Clinical Eye Complex and IS Clinical Youth Eye Complex to brighten, tone, hydrate and lighten dark circles under the eyes.

Also you can try “Jen’s secret to puffy/swollen eyes”: Put two spoons in the freezer overnight, take them out in the morning and apply the back of one spoon to one eye and same to the other for a few minutes. Trust me I’ve tried this and it works wonders!

At Calidora: Calidora offers in-clinic treatments for eyes such as Titan Eyes to help stimulate collage contraction and growth.  We also offer Latisse for longer fuller lashes to further accentuate your eyes.  Try combining our various treatment options to obtain maximum treatment benefits for your eyes.
