A new technology called HydraFacial is making a big splash in the skin care market. Jupiter Plastic Surgery Center is one of the first locations in the country to offer this non-irritating, serum-based skin resurfacing system.

With results comparable to more aggressive chemical peels and microdermabrasion - without the discomfort or downtime - clients are finding this new approach a refreshing and relaxing alternative.

"We are very impressed with this device," says Robin A. Sykes, M.D. of Jupiter Plastic Surgery Center at 2055 Military Trail. "The results are remarkable. It's a wonderful advance for skin care and we are very excited to be one of the first in Palm BeachCounty to offer these treatments."

The exceptional effectiveness of HydraFacial is due to its use of specially formulated serums in combination with a vacuum-based skin abrasion tip. It removes dead skin cells and impurities while bathing the healthy underlying skin with deep cleansing, extracting, exfoliating, and antioxidant serums. The proprietary serums are clinically formulated to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, congested pores, hyper-pigmentation and acne-prone skin.

The patented disposable HydroPeel tips have a multifaceted spiral construction. That increases the time the serums are in contact with the skin while also providing superior exfoliation by presenting multiple planning surfaces. The result is a cool, comfortable process that leaves the skin radiantly clean, refined, moist and polished. It is appropriate for most skin types including thin or aging skin, ethnic skin, and oily skin.

Jupiter Plastic Surgery Center offers many other facials and skin treatments and carries the products to complement them and maintain glowing, youthful skin. Dr. Robin Sykes is a board-certified plastic surgeon who has been practicing in the area for over twenty years.
