Skin Rejuvenation in Santa Barbara, CA
Do you feel like your skin looks tired, uneven, or less firm than it used to? It happens to everyone at some point. Sun exposure, aging, and lifestyle all affect skin texture and elasticity over time. Today’s skin rejuvenation treatments can help improve your overall skin quality, giving your complexion the support it needs to look healthier.
At Aesthetics Montecito in Santa Barbara, California, skin rejuvenation treatments are customized and carefully planned. Led by Jeanette Baer, P.A-C, with support from an experienced clinical team, every approach stays focused on what works best for your skin and your long-term goals.
BBL HEROic (Sciton)
BBL HEROic is an advanced light-based treatment that targets sun damage, pigmentation, redness, and other visible signs of aging. It uses BroadBand Light (BBL) to stimulate skin renewal and improve overall tone and clarity. It’s ideal for treating uneven skin, age spots, freckles, redness, and dullness across the face, chest, hands, and body.
How the Treatment Works
Using fast, high-intensity pulses of light, BBL HEROic delivers energy into the skin to break up unwanted pigment and stimulate collagen. The device’s speed and precision allow for larger areas to be treated quickly, making it more efficient than traditional IPL systems. It also features advanced cooling for a more comfortable experience.
Results and Recovery
BBL HEROic typically requires little to no downtime. Some redness may appear temporarily, and pigmented spots may darken briefly before fading. Most patients see a brighter, more even complexion after one session, with optimal results developing over a series of treatments.
MOXI
MOXI is a non-ablative fractional laser treatment designed to refresh and strengthen skin with minimal downtime. It’s commonly used to treat early sun damage, dull tone, rough texture, and uneven pigmentation. MOXI is ideal for younger patients or those looking to maintain skin quality as part of a long-term skincare plan.
How the Treatment Works
MOXI delivers gentle laser energy into the skin, creating controlled micro-injuries that trigger collagen production and skin renewal. The device treats the superficial layers, making it safe for a wide range of skin tones and types. It’s often combined with BBL HEROic for enhanced results.
Treatment and Results
MOXI requires minimal recovery time. Most patients experience mild redness and roughness for a few days post-treatment. With a series of treatments, skin appears smoother, brighter, and more even in tone. It’s a great entry point for laser rejuvenation or for ongoing skin maintenance.
Morpheus 8
Morpheus8 is a fractional radiofrequency treatment that targets deeper layers of the skin and underlying tissue to improve firmness, texture, and overall skin quality. It’s commonly used to address laxity, crepey skin, fine lines, acne scarring, and uneven texture on both the face and body.
How the Treatment Works
The device combines microneedling with RF energy, delivering controlled heat at customizable depths. This process stimulates collagen and elastin while remodeling tissue beneath the skin’s surface. Treatment depth and intensity are adjusted based on the area being treated and your goals.
Results and Recovery
Most patients benefit from a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart. Mild redness and swelling are common for a few days, but downtime is minimal compared to surgical options. Results continue to improve over several months as collagen production increases.
Lumecca
Lumecca is an advanced IPL treatment designed to reduce visible sun damage, redness, and pigmentation. It effectively treats age spots, freckles, rosacea, broken capillaries, and uneven skin tone on areas like the face, neck, chest, and hands.
Treatment Experience
Lumecca delivers high-powered light pulses while a sapphire cooling tip keeps the skin comfortable. Sessions are quick and well tolerated, with minimal downtime required for most patients.
Expected Results
Many patients notice brighter, clearer skin after one treatment, though a series provides more noticeable improvement. Pigmented spots may darken briefly before fading, revealing a more even complexion over time.
Facials
Medical facials at Aesthetics Montecito are tailored to your skin’s condition and goals. Treatments are performed by Bibi Barraza, M.L.E., using professional-grade products selected for performance and skin health.
What Facials Address
Facials can help with dryness, congestion, sensitivity, dullness, and uneven texture. They also support ongoing skin maintenance and enhance the results of other rejuvenation treatments.
Ongoing Skin Support
Regular facials help maintain balance, hydration, and clarity while allowing your provider to monitor changes in your skin and adjust care as needed.
Forma Face
Forma Face is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment for the face and neck. Using advanced radiofrequency energy, Forma gently heats the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production, improving firmness, texture, and overall skin tone.
This comfortable, warming treatment smooths fine lines and addresses mild to moderate skin laxity—without needles, downtime, or discomfort.
How the Treatment Works
Forma Face delivers controlled radiofrequency energy to the skin, maintaining an optimal temperature that activates the body’s natural collagen response. This heat stimulates collagen remodeling and gradual skin tightening over time.
The treatment is continuously monitored for safety and comfort, creating a relaxing, spa-like experience while targeting areas such as the cheeks, jawline, and neck.
Results & Recovery
Many patients notice an immediate improvement in skin tightness, with continued results developing over the weeks following treatment. A series of treatments is typically recommended for best results.
There is no downtime. Patients may experience mild redness, which usually resolves within a few hours, and can return to normal activities immediately.
Skin Smooth by Sciton
Skin Smooth by Sciton is a non-invasive laser treatment that improves skin texture, tone, and clarity. Using advanced light and laser technology, it gently resurfaces the skin while stimulating collagen for a smoother, refreshed appearance.
This comfortable treatment addresses early signs of aging, uneven texture, and dull skin with minimal discomfort and no downtime.
How the Treatment Works
Skin Smooth delivers precise light and laser energy to the upper layers of the skin, promoting cellular turnover and collagen stimulation. This helps refine pores, soften fine lines, and improve overall skin smoothness. Treatments are customized based on skin type and concerns.
Results & Recovery
Patients often notice brighter, smoother skin shortly after treatment, with continued improvement over time. Multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal results.
There is little to no downtime. Mild redness or warmth may occur and typically resolves within a few hours.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels improve tone, texture, acne, pigmentation, and early signs of aging by exfoliating damaged surface layers of skin. They help soften fine lines and refine rough or uneven areas.
Peel Depth Options
Lighter peels offer minimal downtime and are ideal for maintenance, while medium-depth peels address deeper concerns with a short recovery period. Your provider selects the depth based on your skin type and goals.
Results Over Time
Peels can be performed as standalone treatments or part of a series. With proper aftercare, skin appears smoother, clearer, and more balanced as new cells replace damaged ones.
VI Peels
The VI Peel is a medical-grade peel designed to treat multiple concerns at once, including acne, pigmentation, melasma, and uneven texture. It’s safe for a wide range of skin tones.
Treatment and Downtime
The peel is applied in-office and followed by a structured peeling process over several days. Most patients experience light to moderate peeling with manageable downtime.
Visible Improvement
Skin typically looks brighter, clearer, and smoother within a week. A series may be recommended for more stubborn concerns like acne scarring or discoloration.
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma)
Microneedling creates microchannels in the skin to stimulate collagen production. When paired with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), the skin receives growth factors that support healing and renewal.
Skin and Hair Benefits
This treatment improves acne scars, pore size, texture, and hydration. PRP is also used for hair restoration by injecting it into the scalp to support follicle health and circulation.
Treatment Plan
Results build gradually, with most patients benefiting from multiple sessions. Downtime is minimal, with mild redness typically resolving within a few days.
Exosomes
Exosomes are signaling molecules that support cell communication and repair. They deliver growth factors and proteins that help improve skin regeneration and recovery.
How They’re Used
Exosomes are commonly applied after microneedling or energy-based treatments to enhance results and reduce recovery time. They work with your body’s natural processes rather than forcing change.
Skin Improvements
Patients often notice improved texture, tone, hydration, and overall skin vitality. Exosomes are an advanced option for patients seeking added support from their rejuvenation treatments.
