March Madness: Medspa Edition

March Madness isn’t just for basketball — it’s also the perfect time to visit Integrated Dermatology of Tidewater and give your dull, winter skin the full court press to reveal fresher, more youthful looking skin.

Our final-four picks feature some of our most popular anti-aging and skincare treatments. Each contender brings its own strengths, but which one will YOU be rooting for?

Let’s break down the competition and see which treatment takes home the title of Tidewater’s 2025 Glow Up MVP!

Meet the Contenders:

Pick #1: HydraFacial vs Dehydrated, Dull Skin

Our first pick features HydraFacial, a powerhouse treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates in one seamless play. Going head-to-head with dull, dehydrated skin, HydraFacial’s vortex technology dominates the court, delivering instant glow and long-lasting hydration. This treatment doesn’t just work on the surface—it penetrates deep to infuse the skin with nourishing serums that promote long-term brightness and rejuvenation. With no downtime and immediate results, it’s a strong competitor right out of the gate!

Pick #2: VI Peel vs. Uneven Skin Tone

Next up, VI Peel takes on hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and uneven skin texture. This chemical peel is a serious contender, targeting discoloration and boosting collagen production to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion. VI Peel works from within by accelerating cellular turnover, shedding damaged skin layers to uncover a fresher, healthier glow. With a few days of downtime, this pick takes a little patience, but its "3-pointer-at-the-buzzer-glow" is worth the wait!

Pick #3: Aerolase Neo Laser Skin Resurfacing vs. Fine Lines & Sun Damage

A skin resurfacing giant, Aerolase Neo Laser Skin Resurfacing towers over sun damage, wrinkles, and uneven texture. Using advanced laser technology, this treatment smooths fine lines, fades pigmentation, and stimulates collagen for long-term skin rejuvenation. Unlike topical solutions, laser resurfacing penetrates the deeper layers of skin to rebuild collagen from within, improving elasticity and skin tone over time. It’s an aggressive yet strategic player, perfect for those looking to make a lasting impact on their skin’s appearance.

Pick #4: Genius RF Microneedling vs. Loose Skin & Scarring

Our final competitor, Genius RF Microneedling, takes on lax skin, acne scars, and fine lines with a game-changing approach. This advanced RF (radiofrequency) microneedling treatment delivers heat energy deep into the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production at the cellular level. It tightens, smooths, and refines the skin’s texture while reducing signs of aging. Unlike traditional microneedling, Genius RF amplifies results by reaching the deeper dermal layers, making it a powerhouse player for those wanting to strengthen and firm their skin from the inside out.

And the Ultimate Buzzer-Buster - Combination Treatments

While each of our four featured treatments have their own unique strengths, YOU can be a real winner with a customized combination of treatments based on your skin goals.
