THRIVE GLOSSARY

THRIVE GLOSSARY

Instead of confusing menus and terminology that can’t be pronounced - we simplify the medical skin maintenance space by taking the reins for you and creating sustainable skincare and maintenance plans. Below is our THRIVE Glossary to educate and empower you.

  • Refers to treatments that remove and/or damages the first visible layer of skin. This will be noticeable to those that see you and heal with in 3-7 days. These injuries need to be well cared for as they heal. But upon healing, they stimulate significant collagen and skin restoration. Ideal for aged skin.

  • Our boost experience is designed for a quick pick me up before your enhanced treatments, or just the boost you need throughout your treatment regimen and skin health.  By providing a mask, peel or targeted treatments tailored for you, this treatment will be perfectly curated for your needs. No sense in trying to figure out what you need, we will do that for you!

  • In regard to the skin, it is a protein that provides structure, strength, and elasticity. It is what keeps your skin from sagging and gives it a plump and youthful appearance. It's been said that after the age of 25, you lose 1% of collagen a year.

  • This is the middle layer of skin sitting in between the top (epidermis) and the lower subcutaneous tissue. Within this layer lies connective tissue, blood vessels, nerves, hair follicles and glands. This layer provides structure and support, regulates body temperature and provides oil production.  

  • With the use of a high quality professional blade, we remove not only the fine peach fuzz on your face, but also the top layer of dead skin cells. With this layer removed, the performance of the products is increased as well as the radiance in your skin. There is no pain or downtime, but the results are addicting!

  • For skin, elastin is a protein that gives skin elasticity and bounce. It allows for the skin to stretch and return back to its original shape. It also allows that luminous bounce that youthful skin radiates with.

  • An ablative resurfacing treatment using radio frequency to create micro injuries to the epidermis and dermis to generate the healing process which increase collagen production and tightening of the skin.

  • This is the top and first layer of your skin that is visible. It is the most basic and is made up of a sheet of cells. These cells are continually being replaced and regenerated. This layer is sensitive to touch and environmental effects.

  • Dermaplaning experience followed with a customized mask.

  • Our recommended first step for all new guests. A full face assessment and education, followed by a curated facial.

  • We use a concentrated beam of light that is attracted to the pigment in your hair follicle. That light is then converted into heat which causes damage to the follicle and weakens it. This damage makes it difficult for the hair to grow back.  4-8 treatments are needed to catch the rapidly growing hairs at just the perfect time in its growth cycle.

  • Is the loss of firmness and elasticity which causes the skin to sag which creates wrinkles and fine lines. This occurs because the body slows down and eventually stops naturally creating collagen and elastin. Aging, genetics, sun exposure, weight loss and poor lifestyle choices can also cause this.

  • Is the best way to take a nap, and let the light do the work. With the use of several different modes from LED to Red light, your provider can pair this with many treatments to enhance healing and many skin conditions. Acne, Eczema, psoriasis, rosacea and fine lines and wrinkles are amongst a few of the conditions light therapy can help with.  

  • This common skin condition causes brown, gray-brown, or blue-gray patches on the face. This can be due to sun exposure, heat or hormonal changes. Our PURE LIFT treatments are incredibly effective for this condition.

  • A handheld device with tiny needles is used to puncture the skin to help stimulate collagen and elastin production. When the controlled micro skin injuries begin to heal, dermal remodeling occurs helping to improve many skin conditions such as fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, stretch marks, and acne scars. This treatment is amazing paired with many other enhancements that your provider will customize for you to maximize your results.

  • A micro solution delivered by a small needle into muscles and nervous system to alter their structure, movement or function.

  • A device penetrates safes levels of electromagnetic waves that heat up the skin to cause micro injuries to the dermis layer of skin. This creates the stimulation of collagen and elastin production to repair and restore the areas of treatment. No affects are visibly seen to the first layer of the skin.

  • This chronic facial skin condition usually appears with red patches and sometimes bumps. Over time, the skin can also thicken and enlarge, often on the nose. Our PURE LIFT treatments are incredibly effective for this condition.

  • Spots on the skin that are often shades of browns. Also known as sun spots, age spots and/or freckles.
