facials

Facials

Facials are one of the most requested services and most relaxing. The skin is cleansed, removing all make-up; then toned replacing the PH level. Followed by a skin analysis. Next a manual exfoliant is used to help remove the top layer of dead skin cells, followed by warm steam which expands the pores preparing the skin for a deep pore cleanse. Immediately following the massage will begin. facials There are five basic massage movements: effleurage, Petrisage, tapotent, friction and vibration. We begin at the décolleté, working up the neck onto the face area, the massage cream is removed and depending on the skin type a mask is applied and allowed to dry. The mask is then removed with very warm steam towels. The face is then toned once again, followed by moisturizing and/or sun protection if needed.

Fraction or Skin Rejuvenation

Laser's are the newest greatest treatment for many skin conditions. Fractional is a minimally invasive treatment that decreases the appearance of wrinkles and acne scarring. A fractional treatment also may result in a more even skin tone and texture, reducing the pore size. Fractional's produce a beam of energy reaching as deep as the dermis helping skin to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, this will help to even out hyperpigmentation and hypopigmention (a must have for anyone wanting beautiful smooth skin).

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is used to achieve exfoliation or resurfacing of the epidermis (top later of skin) increasing circulation, stimulates nerve endings, smoothes fine lines and wrinkles, as well as reducing hyperpigmentation and superficial scarring.

 

 

Microcurrent

Microcurrent

Microcurrent is often referred to as a "non-surgical face lift". Microcurrent delivers gentle electrical frequencies that mimic the skin’s own electrical signals. Stimulating the musculature and accelerating natural cell processes of the skin.

 

Chemical Peels

Chemical Peels

Chemical Peels is the use of chemical solutions to exfoliate the surface of the skin. Promote cell turnover and induce desquamation (shedding or peeling) of the stratum corneum. Only phototherapy referring to the medicinal use of plants is used.
