What is The Mermaid Facial? Let’s break it down…

The Mermaid Facial originated in Italy - and is a Biostimulating Facial.  We are one of the FIRST clinics in Maine to offer The Mermaid Facial! This facial does it all! It treats the face, lips, and the eyes. The Mermaid Facial consists of 5 of Promoitalia’s BEST products to give you the best full face results! This facial is going viral and is touted by celebrities such as Jennifer Aniston and Kim Kardashian.

What does it do?

It provides a radiant boost in less than 60 minutes by combining the best bio-stimulating ingredients on the market for comprehensive skin regeneration and immediate, long-lasting results.

How does it work?

We use a stamping technique (similar technique that we use in microchanneling) to create channels in the skin. We then infuse those open channels with a cocktail of biostimulators. These biostimulators activate the body’s cells, triggering the production of collagen and elastin fibers, which are the vital components of healthy, youthful-looking skin. This process, known as neocollagenesis, is essential for maintaining skin health and elasticity. The result is improved skin elasticity and reduced fine lines & wrinkles.

How is the facial performed?

Application of the Mermaid Facial is through mesotherapy. Mesotherapy is a special micro-stamping technique, where fine, tiny needles penetrate the top surface (or epidermis) of your skin in a unique method that delivers the serum directly into the skin layers. The action of ‘pricking’ the skin's barrier induces a controlled wound-response. When your skin’s barrier is compromised - in an effort to defend the skin's barrier, your body rushes to the site to heal with collagen and elastin.

The components of the facial

Light Eyes Treatment - This “Non-surgical Bleph in a bottle” is our all-natural micronutrient serum. Specifically made for the eyes, Light Eyes is microstamped on the brow line, upper eyelid and below the eye - providing immediate improvement in dark circles, puffiness, creepiness, fine lines, and subtle volume loss.

Lips (Bacio) - using a special serum just for the lips consisting of Hyaluronic Acid + B12, Bacio can be microstamped to just the lip area - or depending - can be applied to the perioral area to help with dimpling in the chin, the marionette lines around the mouth, and fine lines above the lips actually helping with structure. Bacio is your all natural non-filler alternative specifically designed for super hydration, definition, subtle volume, AND brightened pigment without altering structure. For those of you who want the appearance of lip filler without the toxins!

The Face - a speciality cocktail of three serums are applied and microstamped into the face. The first ingredient (Nucleoskin) provides key benefits such as skin tightening, hydration, plumping, brightening, and healthy cell regeneration. The second ingredient (Rich-PL) provides hydration and skin rejuvenation, and is a bio-stimulator responsible for collagen and elastin production. The third ingredient (Fixer | Skin Tox) moisturizes, tones, brightens, & hydrates. This skin booster is the natural anti-wrinkle & texture repairing alternative to neurotoxins without impairing any muscular function!

What are the ingredients of the Biostimulators?

Biostimulators come in different types, including calcium hydroxylapatite, poly-L-lactic acid, and polycaprolactone.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • NO! It’s complicated…

    Salmon sperm DNA, more accurately called "polynucleotides" or “PDRN”, are tiny fragments of DNA extracted from salmon sperm. The amazing benefits in skincare treatments is simply because the structure of salmon DNA closely resembles human DNA. This amazing finding over 20 years ago has allowed PDRN to effectively stimulate collagen production, improve skin elasticity, and promote tissue repair when injected into the skin, essentially acting as a cellular messenger to rejuvenate the skin cells; this is why it's often considered an anti-aging treatment. 

  • SKIN BOOSTERS are the #2 “Most Requested Aesthetic Treatment” behind neurotoxin (Botox, Xeomin, Dysport, Jeuveau) treatments. 

    Skin Boosters are more than popular in the aesthetic world! These are products based on un-crosslinked HA with micronutrients that can reduce not only the causes of skin aging but also its effects by deeply stimulating the skin to recreate firmness, hydration, elasticity, and brightness for targeted skin areas and concerns. Like our Radiesse and Sculptra friends, skin boosters are often referred to as “physiological Biostimulators” because of their role in restoring specific cellular functions, improving overall skin quality.

How can I prepare for my appointment?

One Week Prior:

  • Avoid blood thinning (over-the-counter) medications such as aspirin, Motrin, ibuprofen, and Aleve.

  • PLEASE consult with your provider about your PRESCRIBED blood thinning medications prior to your appointment.

  • Avoid supplements, including St. John’s Wort, Gingko biloba, primrose oil, garlic, ginseng, and Vitamin E.


2 Days Prior:

  • Avoid topical products such as Tretinoin (Retin-A), Retinol, Retinoids, Glycolic Acid, or any “anti-aging” products.

  • Avoid treatments such as waxing, bleaching, tweezing, or using hair removal cream on the area to be treated.

  • You may start taking over-the-counter Arnica tablets found at your local pharmacy. Start at least two days prior to the procedure, following the medication instructions. 

  • Avoid alcohol at least 48 hours prior to your appointment


General Recommendations

  • If you have a history of facial cold sores, there is a risk that the treatment can contribute to another active cold sore/s. Please let your doctor prescribe an antiviral medication, such as valacyclovir (Valtrex®), to start taking a few days before the procedure.

  • If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it’s a NOPE.

  • Avoid if you suspect that you have an allergy to any ingredients 

  • If you are being treated for an active infection, PLEASE stay home until you finish your antibiotics and/or antiviral prescription.

  • Clear your schedule of any major events for at least 2-3 days or so after your treatment. You may still have some swelling and redness, especially if treated around the eyes and lips.

What happens when I am there for my treatment?

We will always conduct a thorough consultation with you prior to any procedure to make treatment recommendations to meet your cosmetic needs, review your medical and past cosmetic history, discuss treatment options, expected recovery, longevity of results, and go over any risks involved with the procedure. Prior to any cosmetic treatments, it is required to fill out any required medical history and consent forms. It is also standard to take before and after photos for your medical chart. If unable to do any of these, then we will not be able to treat you. 

If we have decided that this treatment is the best option for you, we will prepare your skin by cleansing the treatment areas. The treatment is fairly quick, taking anywhere from 10-25 minutes to complete.

Once the treatment is completed, you will have some redness that will minimize with the application of our CO2 Pro Lift mask.

We will then go over expectations for healing (if any), post care instructions, and make recommendations for any additional treatment appointments or follow ups. 

What happens after my treatment?

Don’t expect to see any results when leaving the office. Typically, it can take days to weeks after your 3rd recommended session for your best results! However, clients have noticed great results after just ONE TREATMENT!

For the most part, recovery after is fairly simple. Many people resume their usual activities within 24 hours.

You might notice that there is some redness in the treated areas which is expected after any treatment. Please speak with your provider of what to use for skincare following your treatment.
