There are many aspects of woman’s health, from internal medicine, emotional well-being, nutrition, even skin health and appearance. The Rittenhouse Women’s Wellness Center, strives to address a number of issues for overall health and wellness. Many internal hormonal issues that women deal with throughout different stages in life, like PCOS or Menopause, affect the physical appearance as well. These issues can cause excessive hair growth on the face, dry and/or oily skin conditions, or melasma. DermaCenter Medical Spa, is a vital part of the Rittenhouse Women’s Wellness Center, and has treatments and services to minimize the effect of certain physical issues for women living with these conditions.

Excessive hair growth, especially in the facial area, is often seen on females struggling with PCOS. Our Aestheticians can perform laser hair reduction treatments that will inhibit growth making the hair that does come in lighter, finer and less abundant leaving the skin feeling and looking much smoother.

Other treatment options include Chemical Peels, Microdermabrasion and Micro Planning which can help combat dry/oily skin as well as hyperpigmentation. All three of these treatments are a form of exfoliation of varying degrees.  Microdermabrasion is a physical and superficial form of exfoliation that lightly buffs the surface of the skin allowing the dead skin cells that collect on the surface to be removed without causing any physical damage to the outer layer of skin.  Chemical Peels use a chemical form of exfoliation which allows the exfoliation to get to the deeper layers of skin, pushing out any damage that may have been cause by hormonal issues or sun damage.  Micro Planning uses a combination of both but also removes the hair off the surface of the skin allowing for better makeup application and a smoother feel to the touch.The DermaCenter also has a wide range of products that can be customized to individual’s needs.
