Upland, CA – Dr. Sandra Lee says that women often don’t need to spend a fortune to have beautiful, glowing skin. She has developed a simple 2-step process that can improve skin texture and tone in an easy lunchtime procedure.

Dr. Lee says her “Lunchtime Buff & Shine” skin rejuvenation is a big hit with patients who want to improve their skin texture and tone, but don’t want or need more invasive procedures. “I came up with the name “Lunchtime Buff & Shine” because the skin looks so good after a treatment, and it can be done in just minutes,” she says.

Dr. Lee describes the process as she treats her patient “Krysti”: “I begin by performing ‘micro-blading’, in which I use a blade to exfoliate the skin and to remove the tiny ‘vellus’ hairs which are present on everyone’s face,” says Dr. Lee. As the blade is drawn across the skin, the tiny hairs, or “peach fuzz” collect together like a fine cotton ball. Dr. Lee says that patients are often surprised to see how many of these tiny hairs are present on the face.

“Micro-blading makes the skin feel fabulous’’ says Dr. Lee.

Removal of the vellus hair prepares the face for step 2 of the Lunchtime Buff & Shine; a light treatment with the MiXto micro-fractional CO2 laser at a very low setting, which has little discomfort and little or no downtime. “This will greatly improve the texture and tone of the skin and will also trigger collagen formation over time,” says Dr. Lee.

The MiXto laser treats just 5% of the skin at a time, providing a gentle, gradual improvement in the skin, according to Dr. Lee. She recommends a series of about 5 treatments for most people, with each session taking about 15 minutes and spaced a few weeks apart. “It’s a great way to do ‘beauty maintenance’ for your face,” she says. “The goal is to restore and rejuvenate the face while retaining the person’s natural look, all with minimal or no downtime.”
