Acne Clearing System

Proderma’s Acne Clearing System offers a comprehensive protocol that will clear your acne condition in just 4-12 weeks.  The duration of each individual will vary depending on each case and it’s severity.

Our clinical proprietary of products are user friendly, pleasantly aromatic that deliver quick results which are then combined with short therapeutic weekly treatments that are slowly modified after each visit.  This not only rapidly clears the complexion, but will also increase the post wound healing left from the trauma of the acne.  As the acne is slowly extinguished, the inflammation and blemishes diminsh bringing it to a complete arrest. Once this has been achieved the complexion is clear and you are finished.   A peronalized home care maintenance program will be outlined that should be closely adhered to in order to maintain a control.

In addition, we provide an optimal level of care until you are completely clear. Education is provided in understanding the disease and it’s risk factors along with tools and support that are necessary in maintaining your new complexion.

Each visit is carefully documented along with careful instructions both verbal and written so it will be followed with accuracy.  An email is then sent after each visit with an update of progress and any questions you may have.

We Provide Treatment for Your Acne Scars!

Acne sufferers will be pleased to know that we offer a treatment system designed to aid in the healing of their scarring. The duration and cost of each client’s treatment program will depend on the severity and areas needing addressing.

Our radio-frequency microneedle machine works by using microneedles to safely deliver fractional radio-frequency energy to specific locations into the dermis, a deeper skin layer. This energy kickstarts the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin, and as the collagen is released and goes to work, it restructures the skin layers resulting in healthier, younger looking skin.

RF microneedle treatments are safe and effective on all skin types and treatments can be performed on other parts of the body as well.

Benefits of RF microneedle treatments include:

  • reduction of acne scars
  • tightening of the skin
  • improved skin tone and texture
  • reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

Each treatment session will last about 45 minutes. It is important to note that the results are not immediate, but will appear gradually over time. A recommended 4-6 treatments are needed to produce optimal results. As the treatment is minimally invasive, there is no downtime. The client can expect to experience a sunburn feeling and redness that should last just a day or two.

While each individual’s results may vary, results will last up to a year after the most recent RF microneedling treatment.

Take care to avoid any skin treatments at least a week prior to your RF treatment. This includes waxing, peeling, laser, and any other types of skin resurfacing. If you plan on being exposed to the sun both before and after treatments, make sure you apply sunscreen.

Avoid vigorous workouts, sauna/pool use, and makeup until any redness and swelling has gone away. Avoid hot water and showers for a day. Do not scrub, scratch, or rub the treated area until the skin is healed.

Clients who are interested in receiving treatments for their post acne scarring or for the anti-aging benefits are encouraged to schedule a complimentary consultation to discuss program details.

Pacific Coast Cosmetic

In 1999, Dr. Heinrich founded Pacific Coast Cosmetic & Laser Medical Center, Inc. in order to provide high quality Facial Aesthetic Procedures to individuals who desire to improve their appearance.

Concentrating on the complex anatomy, physiology, pathology, bio-chemistry and bacteriology of all the structures of the head and neck, provides Dr. Heinrich a strong focus on the anatomical area being treated.

OC Sugaring

OC Sugaring

OC Sugaring

South Orange County’s Boutique Hair Removal and Massage Studio

One of the oldest forms of hair removal, sugaring was first practiced by the ancient Egyptians. A 100% all natural process that both nourishes and smooths the skin while gently and thoroughly removing unwanted hair, sugaring is a better alternative to waxing and other forms of hair removal.

The Ancient Art of Sugaring

Dating back to 1450 B.C, hair removal was of extreme importance. It was associated with royalty. Hair on the body was seen as a sign of poverty and uncleanliness. Ancient civilizations such as Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Greece placed a high value on aesthetic practices.

Mesopotamian Kings requested only clean and hairless women in their presence. Early hieroglyphics in Egypt depict women removing body hair in order to be able to serve their pharaoh. All women of royalty in the Turkish Empire, as well as women in the harem were expected to be hairless and considered the removal of body hair an art.

Cleopatra, well known for her beauty, also used sugaring as her method for hair removal.

Benefits to the Sugaring Method

  • All natural
  • Bio degradable
  • Organic
  • Water soluble
  • Sanitary
  • Good for the skin
  • Slower regrowth
  • Less in-grown hairs
  • Doesn’t tear skin
  • Only removes dead skin cells
  • Less painful
  • Luke warm…so won’t burn skin

Karie Mattson is licensed and certified in Massage Therapy, Esthetics and Sugaring Hair Removal. She has been in this growing industry since 2000 and has developed a real passion for sugaring hair removal technique. OC Sugaring is one of the few outfits in Orange County specializing in this practice.

Karie is kind hearted and compassionate and has always enjoyed helping others. Living in Hawaii enhanced her appreciation of natural beauty. The products she uses reflect her desire to promote beauty through the most natural and organic means possible. Pampering others is at the core of her personal philosophy.

Karie is licensed and certified in Massage therapy, esthetics, and sugaring hair removal, she has been in this growing industry since 2000. She has developed a passion for sugaring hair removal and is one of the few people in Orange County who specialize in this ancient practice.

She is excited to offer a unique way of hair removal that is all natural, biodegradable, water soluble, and all around better for the skin as opposed to traditional waxing methods.
