The 1228Protocol™
Our Signature offering!
Developed by Dr. Joni Collins, DMS, PA-C, CAC, The 1228 Protocol™ helps turn back the hands of time to give you the skin of your youthful dreams.
Your skin is a miracle, rejuvenating itself every 28 days when you’re in your 20’s.
As we age, that rejuvenation cycle slows down, leaving our skin looking drab and dull.
The 1228 Protocol™ combines specific treatments, spaced approximately 28 days apart, that remind your skin of its youthful cycles and re-trains cell turnover rates. By alternating these treatments, ( one procedure every 28 days for 12 months) your skin is energized and refreshed each and every month, while you enjoy soothing sessions that leave you glowing from day one.

Our skin naturally exfoliates every 28 days until our 35th birthday when it slows down dramatically. This is the reason that when we wake up on our 35th birthday we notice our skin looks dull, blotchy, and our lines are starting to show. This is an indicator to start chemical exfoliation to get you back on that monthly schedule. Monthly chemical peels will literally melt the years away.
1228 Chemical Peels
Today’s peels can be used the day of a special event for a pre-event glow, in a series of peels for a more progressive approach to rejuvenation or as a part of our trademarked The 1228 Protocol™.
Chemical exfoliation is a safe and effective way to rapidly exfoliate your skin to reveal healthy, glowing skin and encourage new collagen and a smoother, brighter complexion.
Our Preferred PeelWe love Physician’s Care Alliance (PCA) brand peels, specifically the Sensi-Peel. While other skincare lines may burn or blister the skin, PCA skin peels use natural ingredients like lactic acid and citric acid, coupled with botanicals to help feed, lighten and brighten your complexion with ZERO downtime.
If you are someone who is hesitant to try and medical aesthetics procedures, our peels are a great place to start. Get ready for less brown spots, refined pores, tighter, brighter and firmer skin! Regular treatments will transform your skin back to the more youthful version of YOU.
Collagen Induction Therapy
with Microneedling
WE AGE EVERY DAY.
At the age of 25 we start to lose 1/2 teaspoon of volume in our faces a year. At the age of 35 our skin cell cycle slows down from 28 days in our twenties to 45-60 days, resulting in a drab dull and tired look.
With the 1228 Protocol TM, we prep the skin 28 days prior to microneedling ,with a self neutralizing peel, Our three depth hypochlorus protocol accelerates the skin turn over reducing hyperpigmentation and histamine response. We simply do not move around dead skin., we aerate the skin and encourage new skin cell turn over. By decreasing bacteria, pollution, biofilm and congestion we increase the production of both collagen and elastin, resulting in younger, shiny, and firm skin.
By month four of the Protocol ( week sixteen aka The Sweet XVI) we notice tightening of the jawline, a reduction of fine lines and wrinkles. and increased glow.
To understand the basis of this treatment, you need to first understand how instrumental collagen and elastin are to the health and appearance of your skin.
Collagen is a protein which is necessary for keeping skin, bones, and muscles healthy. Without ample supply, skin becomes dry, wrinkly, and tired looking.
Elastin is another protein which is a pliable connective tissue makes up one of the outermost layers of the skin called the dermis. Elastin allows the skin to “snap back into place” after the contracting and stretching which occur on a day-to-day basis.
A micro-needling treatment is performed with an electric utensil with a disposable tip containing small needles which move up and down to various depths. Different depths are used on different areas of the face to achieve optimal results. We apply topical numbing cream to assure clients have the best experience, plus there’s no downtime for recovery - perfect for a lunchtime refresh.
Not all needling devices are created equal.
We use the SkinPen by Bellus Medical, a true state-of-the-art anti-aging device that repairs and improves sun damage, scars, stretch marks and hyperpigmentation. Because it has 12 surgical grade microneedles that simultaneously develop tiny microchannels in the skin, SkinPen increases collagen and skin cell turnover. The overall result is an appearance of more youthful skin, plus a decrease in fine lines and acne scarring.
SkinPen differs from generic micro-needling because its patented needle technology does not drag the skin - which can be why certain micro-needling procedures are associated with a longer recovery. Basic micro-needling is a fantastic procedure but usually only treats one depth of the layers of the skin. At 1228, we utilize needles that penetrate three layers of skin, providing even better results.
We also offer Cosmopen. . This medical grade tool is also a microneedling system however it offers additional perks not only for the patient but also for the driver of the device. We recommend the Cosmopen for patients with sensitivities, petite facial features, and thin foreheads. With its adjustable speed, depth, and rate, the Cosmopen can fit gently into any nook or cranny. We also recommend this device for providers with arthritis because you can hold the device wit ease ( just as if you were holding a pen).
Gotta Have PRF
Looking to improve volume, reduce hyperpigmentation, or add extra bounce to your skin?!
Read more here on Platelet Rich Fibrin.
With our Tier 2, 3, and 4 of the 1228 Protocol, we offer L-PRF. On our a-la cart menu, PRF is available also as a stand alone service for pain management, orthopedic concerns, and can be used instead of a hyaluronic filler.
PRF does NOT burn like PRP. PRF creates a scaffold or lifting effect. PRF assists with skin tone, texture, pigment, and volume. WE recommend optimizing your microvascular health with REVASCA, prior to starting PRF.
