Skin Wellness Treatments

Microdermabrasion and dermaplaning can help reveal fresher, smoother-looking skin while improving the appearance of uneven texture and tone. Depending on your individual skin concerns, benefits may include a brighter complexion, smoother texture, reduced appearance of fine lines and superficial scarring, improved skin softness, and better absorption of skincare products.

Microdermabrasion may also support collagen renewal, helping improve the skin’s structural support and making certain depressions and irregularities less noticeable over time. The treatments are well tolerated and can be performed without significant downtime.

White Onyx uses the DermaFrac® C system for microdermabrasion. This wand-like device glides gently across the skin using specialized applicator tips and vacuum suction to exfoliate and remove dead skin cells and surface tissue. The system is designed to provide effective exfoliation while maintaining patient comfort, and its disposable components help support a sterile treatment environment.

Microdermabrasion can also be paired with microneedling as a comprehensive hybrid treatment. Dermaplaning uses a specialized blade to gently remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair from the skin’s surface. Because these treatments are non-invasive, they generally require little to no downtime, allowing you to return to your normal activities without significant interruption.

Microneedling can help the skin look smoother, firmer, more refined, and more evenly textured. It may improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture, pigmentation, laxity, and signs of sun damage.

Because microneedling works by stimulating the body’s own collagen and elastin production, improvements develop progressively rather than relying solely on an immediate surface-level effect. Some patients notice an initial improvement in the look and feel of their skin soon after treatment, with results continuing to develop as new collagen and elastin are produced.

White Onyx uses the DermaFrac® C system, a wand-like microneedling device that combines vacuum suction, specialized applicator tips, and dozens of fine micro-needles. The system allows the provider to treat the skin precisely and gently while supporting patient comfort.

The controlled microchannels created during treatment stimulate the skin’s natural healing process. White Onyx can also use targeted serums with the treatment. These serums are applied to the microchannels created during microneedling, allowing them to penetrate more deeply into the skin and complement the treatment.

Microneedling results can continue to develop for months as the skin produces new collagen and elastin. How long results last varies based on your age, skin condition, lifestyle, sun exposure, skincare routine, and the concern being treated.

White Onyx Functional & Aesthetic Medicine works closely with our patients from across the Gardner, MA, area to maximize and sustain the results of microneedling treatment. We can advise on everything from “touch-ups” to skincare products to avoid future or further sun damage. If your skin is “mature” and heavily damaged, it may be necessary to schedule maintenance treatments three to four times a year.

Chemical peels can help improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and brown spots, redness, acne breakouts, dullness, and uneven or rough skin texture. By removing damaged surface cells and encouraging new cell growth, chemical peels can leave the complexion looking brighter, smoother, more even, and refreshed.

Depending on the formulation and depth of treatment, some peels are designed as light, minimal-downtime treatments, while stronger peels can create more dramatic changes and require additional recovery time.

A customized chemical solution is applied to the skin to encourage the shedding of old and damaged surface cells and stimulate the skin’s natural renewal process. As those cells are removed, newer skin can come to the surface, improving qualities such as tone, softness, texture, and overall radiance.

White Onyx uses PCA Skin® professional peels, which contain blends of acids formulated to address a wide range of concerns. Because PCA Skin offers options ranging from very mild to more intensive treatments, your provider can select an approach based on your skin type and specific goals. Some lighter peels affect primarily the outermost layers of skin and require little to no downtime, while stronger treatments penetrate more deeply and may require additional recovery.

Depending on the facial you receive, treatment may help improve hydration, congestion, dullness, uneven texture, acne, and visible signs of aging. Facials can support a cleaner, smoother, softer, and more luminous complexion while providing targeted care based on your current skin needs.

Regular professional facials can also serve as part of an ongoing skincare routine, helping maintain healthy-looking skin between more intensive treatments.

Each facial follows a different combination of steps based on the treatment selected and your skin’s needs. Depending on the facial, treatment may include cleansing, exfoliation, steam, extractions, resurfacing masks, cooling or rejuvenating masks, and targeted skincare products.

The goal is to provide the right level of exfoliation, cleansing, hydration, and support for your skin rather than simply performing the same treatment every time.
