Southern Skin and Wellness is located directly in the heart of the New Orleans CBD.
Our licensed medical aestheticians work under the direction of Dr. Lindley and Kathryn, RN, our clinical manager. That means your aesthetician is not working alone: treatment plans are reviewed, and anything that needs a physician gets one in the same building rather than a referral elsewhere.
Dr. Lindley and Kathryn also select every medical-grade skincare line we carry, together. We offer Hydrafacial®, chemical peels, individualized medical-grade facials and dermaplaning — and if what is bothering you needs a medical treatment rather than an aesthetician service, we will tell you that instead of selling you a facial.
Before we recommend anything, we photograph and measure your skin.
Most consultations are a conversation and a look in good lighting. Ours starts with VISIA® imaging — a standardized capture measuring eight things at once, several of which you cannot see in a mirror: spots and brown spots; UV spots, sun damage sitting below the surface years before it shows; red areas and inflammation; wrinkles; texture; pores; and porphyrins, associated with acne.
The images guide which treatments your aesthetician recommends, and give us a baseline to compare against at follow-up.
Hydrafacial® is a three-step facial — cleansing and exfoliation, extractions, hydration — performed with a device rather than by hand. A wand cleanses and exfoliates the top layers of skin, and vacuum suction clears the pores, which most patients find more comfortable than manual extractions.
It then delivers boosters and serums selected for your skin. It can be performed on the face, body and scalp, and our Hydrafacial®-trained estheticians tailor the treatment to your concerns.
The standard treatment, used to address pore size, pigmentation, redness, dark spots, fine lines, hydration and congestion. Most patients see a visible improvement in brightness the same day; the changes to tone and texture build over a series.
The same three-step process applied elsewhere — neck and décolleté, thighs, back, hands and arms — for skin that rarely gets the attention the face does.
Designed for the two most delicate areas of the face. The Perk Lip treatment exfoliates and hydrates the lips. The Perk Eye treatment targets the eye area to support skin renewal and brightness.
The scalp Hydrafacial®, also known as Hydrafacial® Keravive, cleanses, exfoliates and hydrates the scalp, clearing build-up, flakes and excess oil. It is intended to improve scalp condition, which supports the environment hair grows in.
Hydradermabrasion: A gentle deep exfoliation that leaves the skin brighter. Effects build over a series of sessions.
Hydrafacial® has three experiences patients may choose from: Platinum, Deluxe, & Signature. Each experience contains a combination of the services listed.
Sculpt, cleanse, extract, nourish, hydrate, and rejuvenate. For patients who want a complete skin health reset.
Cleanse, extract, nourish, hydrate, and rejuvenate. For patients seeking solutions to specific skin concerns.
Cleanse, extract, nourish, and hydrate. For patients with low-maintenance, problem-free skin.
We can add boosters to your treatment to address your skin concerns and enhance your results. The available boosters are:
Chemical peels use acids applied at controlled strength to exfoliate one or more layers of the skin, prompting the surface to renew. Our medical-grade peels are used to address sun damage, fine lines, enlarged pores, uneven tone and dullness.
Peel strength is matched to your skin and your tolerance for downtime, which is why they are selected at consultation rather than ordered from a list. A series usually produces more than a single treatment, and peels are often combined with facials. Results vary between patients.
We offer medical-grade facials combining cleansing, exfoliation, hydration and protection, using products from Epicutis®, SkinCeuticals®, SkinMedica® and Skinbetter®, among others. Each facial is built around your skin rather than a fixed protocol, and is aimed at skin health, tone and texture.
Patients can add services to a treatment. Our additional services include:
Dermaplaning physically exfoliates the skin. The aesthetician uses a surgical blade to remove dead surface cells and fine vellus hair, leaving the surface smooth and improving how well products absorb and how makeup sits. Most patients find it comfortable. It can be performed on its own or added to another treatment.
In addition to laser hair reduction treatments, we offer waxing services to remove unwanted hair from many areas of the body. Popular areas of treatment include:
