Conditions We Address

These treatments can help with conditions such as:

  • Dull Complexion

    A dull complexion often results from dead skin cell buildup, dehydration, or environmental factors such as pollution and UV exposure.

  • Congested Pores and Blackheads

    BHA peels and other chemical peels are effective in clearing out clogged pores and reducing blackheads.

  • Aging

    Aging is a natural biological process, its effects on the skin—such as fine lines, wrinkles, loss of elasticity, dryness, and uneven skin tone—are often treated and managed within the realm of skincare. Many skincare products and treatments focus on addressing and minimizing these signs of aging to maintain a youthful and healthy appearance.

Good to know

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is skin protection the first step in any skincare routine?
Protection preserves the results of every other treatment you receive. Without daily defense against UV, pollution, and environmental stressors, corrective treatments work against ongoing damage. At IVONNE, we build your protective foundation first so that every subsequent treatment delivers lasting results.
What does medical-grade SPF do differently than drugstore sunscreen?
Medical-grade mineral SPF from Colorescience uses zinc oxide and titanium dioxide to physically block UV radiation rather than chemically absorbing it. These formulations offer broader protection, better stability, and lower irritation potential, making them suitable for post-procedure skin and daily wear.
How often should I have a maintenance Hydrafacial?
Most clients benefit from a maintenance Hydrafacial every four to six weeks. This schedule maintains the results of previous corrective work, keeps pores clear, and supports consistent skin hydration. Your IVONNE provider will recommend a frequency based on your treatment history and skin goals.
What is a skin barrier and why does it matter?
The skin barrier is the outermost layer of your skin that prevents moisture loss and blocks irritants, pollutants, and pathogens. When compromised by harsh products, environmental exposure, or treatments, skin becomes sensitive, dehydrated, and prone to breakouts. Protecting and repairing the barrier is central to the IVONNE approach.
When should I apply SPF after a corrective treatment?
SPF should be applied as part of your post-procedure protocol as soon as your provider advises. Healing skin is especially vulnerable to UV damage, which can cause hyperpigmentation and delay recovery. Mineral SPF like Colorescience is preferred because it sits on the skin surface rather than being absorbed.
What are antioxidants and why do they matter for skin?
Antioxidants neutralize free radicals, the unstable molecules generated by UV, pollution, and smoke that damage skin cells and accelerate aging. Vitamin C, niacinamide, and growth factors are key antioxidants used in IVONNE products from AlumierMD and AnteAGE to defend against environmental damage.
How does AnteAGE help prevent skin aging?
AnteAGE products use bone marrow stem cell-derived growth factors and cytokines that support the skin's natural repair processes. Used preventively, they help maintain collagen production, reduce inflammation, and protect against the cellular damage that leads to visible aging.
What is a post-procedure skincare protocol?
A post-procedure protocol is a structured aftercare regimen prescribed after corrective treatments like peels, lasers, or microneedling. It typically includes gentle cleansing, barrier repair products, growth factor serums such as AnteAGE, mineral SPF, and temporary avoidance of active ingredients until healing is complete.
