- Find out more about the treatment you want or determine the right treatment for your needs.
- Make a treatment plan that could include additional appointments or complementary skin care products.
- Learn more about what makes Alazzo Med Spa a skin care destination.

Skin Care Treatments
HydraFacial
Let’s start with our least-invasive treatment: the HydraFacial.
This in-office facial typically takes 30 minutes and has 3 simple yet essential steps that leave skin clean, hydrated, and refreshed:
- Step 1: Cleansing and gentle exfoliation reveals a new layer of smooth, healthy skin.
- Step 2: Your provider will use the wand to gently vacuum your pores to remove debris and infuse your skin with hydrating moisturizers.
- Step 3: Your skin care professional will apply generous layers of peptides and antioxidants to your skin to encourage skin renewal.
Improve Your Results
Want to take your HydraFacial a few steps further? Consider upgrading to receive extra services. Choose from any of the following levels to fit your needs:
- Signature: Our standard HydraFacial, which includes all 3 steps.
- Deluxe: Includes all 3 steps plus a booster of your choice and 15 minutes under the red or blue light.
- Platinum: Includes everything from the Deluxe option with lymphatic drainage at the beginning of your session to help slim and contour the jaw.
You can expect to see your HydraFacial results for 30 days post-treatment.
Chemical Peels
Next up, chemical peels! Our chemical peels can help erase skin damage and reveal a new layer of smooth, healthy, clearer skin.
At Alazzo, we offer different chemical peels to address specific skin concerns. During your consultation with one of our skin care experts, we’ll determine the type of chemical peel that can give you the best results. Our team is skilled at selecting the right combination of ingredients to provide unmatched results for skin care in Frederick.
Chemical Peel Treatment and Recovery
You won’t experience any pain during your chemical peel, and although chemical peels don’t require a lot of downtime, you’ll need to give your skin some TLC after this treatment. We’ll provide cleansing and moisturizer recommendations to help you heal and remind you to stay out of the sun and use SPF. All clients will also receive detailed post-care instructions after their treatment. Your results will vary by peel type.
Microneedling
Our clients have seen amazing results with microneedling. Our practice uses the Collagen P.I.N. (Percutaneous Induction Needling) device to deliver thousands of tiny punctures to the skin to promote collagen and elastin production. We use microneedling to treat:
- Acne
- Scarring
- Enlarged pores
- Stretch marks
- Poor skin texture
Improve Your Results
Sometimes, our providers suggest adding regenerative techniques with stem cells to improve results. The following are the reasons we choose to use stem cells to help advance your skin care in Frederick:
- Stem cells have versatility: We have observed that stem cells produce better results for different body areas.
- This treatment gets results: We have seen our patients’ outstanding results, and clinical studies have recorded results, too.
Microneedling Treatment and Recovery
Although you can have just one microneedling treatment, we find that most clients see the best results after a series of 4 treatments. We’ll control any discomfort you may feel during the treatment by applying numbing cream before we start.
Most patients experience facial redness for approximately 12 to 48 hours after treatment. We also ask patients not to apply any products for 12 hours following their appointment. As always, we’ll provide detailed post-treatment care instructions for you to take home. Results of this treatment option for skin care in Frederick typically last 9 to 12 months.
IPL Facial
At Alazzo, we use the Ellipse IPL (intense pulsed light) facial to get reliable results without the increased downtime that other photofacials require. This facial works by using a narrow band of light that’s administered in fast pulses. It can help treat photodamaged skin and can reverse early signs of aging; it can also treat the following conditions:
- Sun damage
- Age spots
- Rosacea
- Melasma
- And more
IPL Treatment and Recovery
We typically perform a series of 3 to 5 photofacials; each treatment takes about an hour. If you’re treating a larger area, your treatment time may be longer. While this procedure isn’t painful, it does warm the skin. Also, you may feel light snapping when the treated area absorbs the pulsed light. Our providers will work with you during your treatment to make sure you feel comfortable.
To help you recover, we may recommend placing a cold compress on the treatment area to reduce skin warmth. You can expect your skin to have a pink glow after your facial, and you will need to wear SPF 35 sunscreen for protection from the sun. Results typically last 9 to 12 months.
Fraxel Laser
If you’re seeking a laser treatment with minimal downtime, consider scheduling a consultation to find out more about our Fraxel lasers! Your Alazzo provider will either use the Fraxel 1550 or the Fraxel 1940 during your appointment. Both of these lasers are non-ablative, meaning they warm deeper layers of skin to create collagen without warming surface layers.
We can use the Fraxel laser to:
- Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
- Diminish pore size
- Give skin a youthful appearance
- Treat acne and surgical scars
- Treat striae
Fraxel Laser Treatment and Recovery
One treatment takes 1.5 hours (a numbing agent is applied for 45 minutes, and the treatment typically lasts 30 to 45 minutes). We typically recommend 2 to 3 sessions to get the best results. Your skin will appear pink and feel warm immediately following the treatment.
To aid recovery, you can apply a cold compress if your skin is warm to the touch. We also recommend using SPF 35 to protect your skin. After a few days, your skin will feel textured and rough; some swelling, tightness, and skin flaking may follow. After you’ve fully recovered, you can expect results to last for 9 to 12 months.
Plasma IQ Fibroblast
And finally, let’s discuss Plasma Fibroblast. This unique skin-firming treatment uses high- and low-energy microbeams to ionize gas particles in the air and create small microinjuries to stimulate collagen production. PlasmaIQ is ideal for treating sagging skin, scars, stretch marks, and fine lines and wrinkles.
Plasma IQ Treatment and Recovery
A single Plasma IQ session typically takes 30 minutes to complete, and we suggest 1 to 2 sessions to get the best results. During your treatment, we’ll apply a numbing cream to ensure you remain comfortable during your appointment.
After your appointment, we’ll send you home with detailed post-treatment instructions, but you can expect to experience scabbing in the treatment area. Don’t pick the scabs off; let them heal naturally. We will provide product recommendations to help the healing process, including a reminder to wear SPF once one full day has passed. People generally see results for 2 to 3 years.
