Peels, Microneedling, and Topical Boosters in Setauket, New York
with Growth Factor Technology
At NectarineMD, we believe radiant skin begins with regeneration—not abrasion. All of our peels and skin boosters rejuvenate the skin and cause little to no peeling, yet they all even out skin tone, improve surface texture, and increase elasticity by targeting cellular changes. These treatments are appropriate for all skin types, and are great event-ready glow-ups.
We offer medical-grade chemical peels using the latest technology, including the advanced FactorFive RDS no-peel solution and topical skin boosters such as VAMP by Prollennium with salmon DNA, FactorFive Exofecta Exosomes with human growth factors, and the FactorFive Post Treatment Serum. These treatments gently resurface the skin, even out tone, and restore youthful vitality—all with minimal downtime.
Unlike traditional peels that rely solely on acids to exfoliate, the FactorFive RDS “No-Peel” Peel utilizes a combination of TCA and bioidentical stem cell-derived growth factors to stimulate collagen and elastin naturally and even out skin tone, enhancing your results without peeling or irritation and eliminating the need for downtime. It’s an ideal option for sensitive skin, early signs of aging, and patients seeking a gentle yet powerful way to glow.
Results are immediately visible, and the glow can last several weeks to months, making this a great event-ready refresh! Stacked treatments 1-4 weeks apart affect lasting results that can then be supported by quarterly treatments, also making this a great maintenance regimen to glow all year long.
Topical skin boosters like VAMP use biosimilar salmon DNA and FactorFive Exofecta Exosomes, and the FactorFive Post Treatment Serum uses bioidentical growth factors to gently plump and regenerate the skin for immediate glowing results that last for weeks to months and require zero downtime. We recommend combining these with Microneedling for the best results.
Chemical Peel & Topical Booster
Treatment Options
A chemical peel is a skin rejuvenation treatment that uses a specialized solution to exfoliate dead skin cells, boost cell turnover, and reveal smoother, brighter skin. The FactorFive Renew Dermal Solution (RDS) peel is unique because it contains 2 key active ingredients. The first 2 layers are trichloracetic acid (TCA), followed by neutralizing water, and last, we apply a layer of Renew Dermal Solution, which is loaded with human-derived growth factors that stimulate collagen, elastin, and neovascularization.
FactorFive active serums contain proteins and cytokines that are secreted from ethically derived human adipose-derived adult stem cells (ADSCs). These growth factors are infused in FactorFive serums, including RDS, to awaken aging skin cells by communicating with your cells to stimulate increased collagen and elastin production.
You will see an immediate glass skin effect, and more improvement over the next several weeks.
Our medical-grade chemical peels at NectarineMD go beyond typical spa offerings. We use highly curated formulations designed to penetrate deeply into the dermis. This process is engineered to stimulate your body’s natural production of collagen, elastin, and growth factors, while also delivering exogenous growth factors for an added boost.
We prioritize effectiveness and strength while minimizing downtime. While you may not see significant surface peeling, you can expect bright, glowing skin immediately and last for several weeks after the treatment is complete.
Stacking treatments means combining a series of the same or different treatments. A singular peel will get you glowing, but panning a series of 3 FactorFive RDS peels 1-2 weeks apart will affect transformational change, and is best maintained by doing a peel quarterly for ongoing support and glow. Combining it with other topical skin boosters and lasers can also be transformational. Dr Adams and our certified aesthetician, Kerrin, will tailor a treatment plan to fulfill your treatment goals.
Topical skin boosters are applied to the skin and have active ingredients that improve and regenerate skin without acids. Because there is little to no irritation of the skin barrier, these topicals work best when combined with microneedling with or without RF, or stacked with a chemical peel. Topical skin boosters result in an immediate glow that lasts weeks to months with no downtime, perfect for all skin shades and sensitivities, and can be done any time of year.
At NectarineMD, we offer several types of topical skin boosters: VAMP, FactorFive Exofecta Exosomes, and FactorFive Post Treatment Serum. Each has its own mechanism of action to accomplish the same end result — brighter, plumper, glowing skin. Dr. Adams and our certified aesthetician, Kerrin, will tailor a treatment plan to target concerns.
Adding FactorFive Post Treatment Serum, like the RDS serum, enhances any procedure that disrupts the skin’s barrier, either mechanically or chemically. This allows the product to penetrate the superficial dermis and stimulate cells to produce collagen and elastin, and rejuvenates the skin by chemical signaling, making this a great add-on treatment.
Exosomes are tiny membrane-filled sacs that transfer their contents to a cell to act as messengers and allow cells to communicate. Exofecta exosomes contain human growth factors derived from ADSCs, plus hyaluronic acid and copper peptide to deliver these little action-packed sacs right to your cells to optimize absorption and deliver powerful results. This sterile solution is best delivered into the skin with microneedling or as a post-treatment enhancement..
VAMP contains vitamins, amino acids, minerals, and polydeoxyribonucleotides (PDRN) derived from salmon DNA, which is 95% biosimilar to human DNA. When combined with microneedling or other skin surface disruptors like lasers, VAMP can penetrate the skin to revitalize and regenerate tissue.
Safe for all skin types and addressing a variety of skin concerns, we are proud to offer this powerful yet gentle combination. We start by cleansing the face and then microneedling a combination of VAMP and FactorFive Post Treatment Serum. This is a great way to get a quick refresh, brighten skin, plump and rejuvenate, all on a lunch hour with no downtime and at a great value.
Perfect aftercare for any treatment that breaks the skin’s natural barrier. This 7-day post-treatment kit contains a gentle cleanser and 5 mini growth factor-packed products:
- Anti-Aging Cream
- Growth Factor Facial Mask
- Nourishing Silk
- Post Treatment Serum
- Regenerative Serum
This kit will help soothe, restore, and rejuvenate skin and reduce redness and irritation for optimal recovery. Full-size bottles are also available to keep your glow going long beyond 7 days.
