We treat follicular congestion and textural photodamage through sterile mechanical clearing, measured acid resurfacing, and dual-wavelength laser parameters. Every protocol specifies active percentages, pass counts, recovery windows, and exact session pricing before intake begins.
We never bill through opaque service packages. Your clinical investment is governed entirely by active area, depth of peeling, optical pass count, and required post-procedure barrier masks.
Treating the neck and upper clavicle requires doubled active chemical volumes and additional laser handpiece grid sweeps. Laser passes on the thin neck epidermis require reduced fluence and increased cooling passes to avoid thermal stacking.
A single enzyme pass requires 45 minutes of contact and barrier soothing. A triple-layer modified Jessner or 20% TCA application demands localized frosting neutralization, ice roller containment, and home recovery kits.
Targeting isolated vascular spider veins via Aerolase 1064nm takes 30 to 45 minutes. Combining Sciton BBL photofacial passes with Sciton Halo hybrid fractional passes requires 80 minutes, topical tetracaine-lidocaine occlusion, and cryo-chilling.

Clinical aesthetics is healthcare delivery, not pampering. Treatments are performed directly by Casey Finch, Licensed Esthetician and Laser Specialist (LE/LI), operating under verified North Carolina state board licensing and ASCP clinical standards.
"We discard all single-use lancets and blades in rigid biohazard containers. Stainless instruments undergo ultrasonic enzymatic clearing followed by 270-degree autoclave sterilization. If an active cystic lesion is inflamed, we will not perform aggressive mechanical scrubbing."— Casey Finch, LE/LI, Founder • SkinLuxes Charlotte
We follow strict four-stage clinical sequencing. No unvetted chemical acids are applied to compromised dermal barriers, and no laser energy is delivered without verified fitzpatrick phototyping.
We inspect skin under 5500K dermatological exam lighting and cross-polarized imaging. We measure lipid barrier integrity, erythema patterns, sebaceous density, and identify contraindications including Accutane history, active HSV, or fresh sunburn.
Gentle desquamation through enzyme or ultrasonic cavitation emulsifies hardened sebum in follicular infundibula. Hot steam is avoided on rosacea-prone skin to prevent permanent capillary telangiectasia.
We execute the assigned clinical procedure: manual lancet extraction under sterile magnification, multi-pass PCA chemical peel with timed frosting observation, or Aerolase 1064nm collimated laser pulses with continuous sapphire contact cooling.
Application of cooling biocellulose masks, pure medical-grade hyaluronic acid, copper tripeptides, and physical zinc oxide SPF 50+. We document home maintenance protocols and give you direct aftercare contact details.
We prioritize predictable tissue healing over selling treatments. If your skin condition makes a protocol unsafe, we decline service and recommend medical dermatology.
We do not perform medium chemical peels, deep dermaplaning, or fractional laser resurfacing on anyone who has taken oral isotretinoin within the past 180 days due to impaired re-epithelialization and atypical scarring risks. Gentle hydration only.
Clients presenting with active open herpes simplex lesions, impetigo, or severe inflamed cystic nodular acne will not receive abrasive mechanical extraction or scalpel dermaplaning. We redirect to topical anti-inflammatory protocols and 415nm LED light.
SkinLuxes is a clinical dermal workstation. We do not burn perfumed essential oils, play ambient spa music, or offer head massages. Our entire focus is follicular clearing, acid depth accuracy, laser safety, and aseptic dermal restoration.
