Why should I choose Skin Pro Lori?

With more than 26 years of experience, I believe every client deserves an honest assessment of their skin—not a sales pitch. I take the time to understand your concerns, explain your options, and recommend treatments that are truly appropriate for your goals. Sometimes that means recommending a treatment, and sometimes it means telling you a treatment isn’t the right fit.


What makes Skin Pro Lori different?

I specialize in science-guided, collagen-building treatments designed to improve skin health over time. Rather than chasing trends, I focus on treatments with proven technology that encourage your skin to naturally produce healthier collagen.


Do you offer consultations?

Yes. Every new client begins with a consultation so we can discuss your concerns, evaluate your skin, and develop a personalized treatment plan. The consultation fee is applied toward your treatment if you move forward.


Where are you located?

Skin Pro Lori is conveniently located in the SouthPark area of Charlotte, North Carolina.


About HIFU

What is HIFU?

HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a non-invasive treatment that stimulates collagen deep within the skin. Unlike treatments that only work on the surface, HIFU reaches the structural support layer beneath the skin to help naturally lift and tighten over time.


What concerns does HIFU treat?

HIFU can improve:

  • Loose skin
  • Jowls
  • Jawline definition
  • Double chin
  • Neck laxity
  • Fine lines
  • Sagging cheeks
  • Eyebrows
  • Eyelids
  • Upper lip lines
  • Marionette lines
  • Nasolabial folds

Does HIFU replace a facelift?

No. HIFU cannot duplicate surgical results. However, many people choose HIFU because they want a natural, non-invasive option that encourages collagen production without surgery or downtime.


How soon will I see results?

Some people notice mild tightening immediately after treatment. Most improvement occurs gradually over the next two to six months as new collagen develops.


How long do HIFU results last?

Results vary from person to person, but many clients enjoy results for approximately 12 months or longer. Maintenance treatments help preserve collagen production.


Does HIFU hurt?

Most clients describe the treatment as very tolerable. You may feel brief warmth or tingling as the ultrasound energy is delivered. Sensitive areas can be more noticeable, but treatments are customized for your comfort.


Is there any downtime?

No. Most clients return to normal activities immediately after treatment. Mild redness or tenderness may occur but typically resolves quickly.


How many HIFU treatments will I need?

Many clients achieve excellent results with one treatment followed by a personalized maintenance plan. Some clients benefit from additional collagen-building treatments depending on their goals.


Why is your HIFU different?

Not all HIFU devices are the same. Skin Pro Lori uses the DualHi+ system, an advanced Korean-made HIFU device designed to deliver precise, consistent energy while allowing treatment of delicate areas such as the eyelids.


About Microchanneling

What is ProCell Microchanneling?

ProCell Microchanneling creates tiny channels in the skin that stimulate collagen production while improving skin texture, acne scars, fine lines, and overall skin quality.


What skin concerns does Microchanneling treat?

  • Acne scars
  • Fine lines
  • Wrinkles
  • Uneven texture
  • Enlarged pores
  • Sun damage
  • Stretch marks

Does Microchanneling hurt?

Most clients experience only mild discomfort. A topical numbing cream is used to maximize comfort.


Is there downtime after Microchanneling?

You may experience redness similar to a mild sunburn for a day or two. Most people return to normal activities quickly.


About Skin Care

Do I need professional skin care products?

Professional products contain higher-quality ingredients and active concentrations than many over-the-counter products. A customized routine helps maximize your treatment results.


Which products do you carry?

Skin Pro Lori offers Corium Corrective 360 professional skincare products selected to support healthy skin, collagen production, hydration, pigmentation concerns, rosacea, acne, and healthy aging.


General Questions

Can I combine treatments?

Absolutely. Many clients receive customized treatment plans that combine HIFU, Microchanneling, LED Light Therapy, dermaplaning, and professional skincare to achieve the best long-term results.


How do I know which treatment is right for me?

That’s exactly what your consultation is for. Every person’s skin is different. I’ll evaluate your concerns, explain your options, and recommend the treatments that make the most sense for your goals.


Do you work with men?

Yes. Skin Pro Lori welcomes both women and men who are looking for natural, non-invasive treatments to improve skin quality and confidence.

What is HIFU Treatment?

HIFU (High-intensity Focused Ultrasound) treatment is a non-invasive, non-surgical, safe treatment for face lifting, wrinkle reductions, double chins and body sculpting. It uses focused ultrasound energy to target different layers of the skin just below the surface. During the treatment, high-frequency ultrasound beams are emitted to the target tissue sites, causing the tissue to heat up rapidly and experience cellular damage. This damage initiates the cells’ healing process, stimulates the production of new collagen and results in tighter, firmer skin. While this may seem counterintuitive, the beams are focused only on the targeted tissue sites below the skin’s surface. Therefore, no damage is caused to the upper layers of the skin and no downtime is required. Since HIFU energy can reach as far as the fat layer of the body, it is also a highly effective treatment to remove unwanted fat and tighten body skin. In short, it is the perfect solution to premature aging.
