MedSpa Skin Care for Essex Fells, NJ

The weeks between appointments

A facial, a laser session or a round of microneedling takes an hour or less. Your skin then spends the following weeks rebuilding, renewing or simply coping with whatever you put on it, and that stretch decides a good share of the result. At Montville MedSpa & Pain Center an office treatment is planned together with what you do at home, so the two pull in the same direction.

A routine built for your skin

Licensed medical esthetician Shannon Glinsky builds home routines from medical-grade lines, ZO Skin Health, SkinCeuticals and SkinMedica among them, chosen for your skin rather than taken off a shelf. Kristen Marucci, who has more than twenty years as a skincare specialist, starts every plan by analysing your skin type. Nurse practitioner Amy Natalicchio, one of the practice’s injectors, is versed in several skin care lines as well and designs regimens around each patient’s needs. After microneedling, your practitioner gives you a tailored regimen to follow while the skin recovers.

What each treatment asks of you afterwards

• HydraFacial: nothing to wait out. It cleanses, exfoliates, extracts and hydrates with no downtime, and regular sessions keep the benefit going; the practice’s own blog makes the case for a monthly visit.
• Microneedling and Vivace RF microneedling: redness rather like a mild sunburn that fades within hours to a couple of days, then gentle cleansing, moisturizer and careful sun protection while new collagen forms. A course is usually three to six sessions spaced four to six weeks apart.
• BroadBand Light (BBL): beforehand you may be asked to avoid strong sun and pause certain products; afterwards, sunscreen and gentle skin care.
• MOXI: most people are back to their routine within three to five days, with tone and texture improving over the weeks that follow.
• The pumpkin peel facial: no makeup for six hours, no scrubs for three days, and sun and heat kept to a minimum for up to two.

The one step that never changes

Sun protection runs through all of it. The practice’s guidance for its non-surgical lifting treatments is a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every day, because sun exposure can undo work that took months to build.

Under one physician

Laser and PRP treatments are overseen by the practice’s founder, Dr. Donna D’Alessio, MD, and the estheticians work alongside her injector team, so Botox and fillers can be slotted into the same plan.
