Regular facial treatments promote the overall health, youthfulness and longevity of the skin. While not all facial treatments are the same, we custom design each one based on your skin type as well as your skin’s current condition.

Read more below about  our basic steps and the benefit you’ll receive.

A relaxing, stress-free procedure:

• Facial & décolleté massage that firms facial muscles, is detoxifying and a tremendous stress reliever!
• After your skin is refreshed by exfoliation, blood circulation is elevated by massage, ready to absorb all the benefits of our vitamin rich, all natural fruit based mask ingredients, that firms, hydrates and beautifies skin!
• The last and most important step after we determine your skin condition, is to discuss and recommend what products you should use on a daily basis in order to maintain the lasting health of your skin!

The period of time between facials is determined by skin type, age, your environment, and what you hope to achieve. The general recommendation is to have a professional facial about every three to four weeks. That’s how long it takes your skin to move through the full life cycle of skin cell growth and exfoliation. A facial helps that process along. The treatment will keep your skin clean, clear, and toned. Having one every three to four weeks helps you maintain that beautiful glow all month long.

Viruses such as colds, cold sores, warts, bacterial infections such as impetigo, boils, conjunctivitis, styes, fungal infections such as ringworm, blepharitis, undiagnosed lumps or swelling, broken bones, known sensitivity or allergy to products. Eczema, psoriasis, cold sores, fresh bruising, open sores, bleeding, tooth abscess, broken jaw or other facial bone, facial cancer, head lice, recently consumed alcohol, under the influence of drugs, unstable blood pressure, recent head injury, recent neck injury, fever, contagious disease, and/or recent scarring.

After your facial, we’ll recommend home care products that keep your skin healthy, and educate you how to use them!

YES!

A good facial (and facial massage) can help smooth fine lines and promote collagen production, which is the building block of the skin (to prevent premature aging, wrinkles, and sagging).

Help even skin tone and lighten dark spots. Dark spots age our skin appearance visibly.

With the use of exfoliation, massage, and the penetration of nutrients and antioxidants, facials also fight to reverse aging. We will all age, but we can do it more slowly with glowing, firm, and hydrated skin.

There’s no age limit on getting a facial. Generally, the time to start getting professional facials is when the skin is starting to change—when blackheads, bumps and breakouts start to appear. For some, that may be 11 and others it might be later.

After a client’s first waxing, the results can last 3 to 6 weeks depending on the individual’s hair re-growth rate. In most cases, hair growth is minimal during the first week or two and noticeably increases in the third and fourth week.

It differs by person and pain tolerance. The skin will be less sensitive if waxing is done every 4 weeks. Over time, with regular waxing, the hair follicle will have less and less of a grip on the hair to be pulled and the hairs will come out more easily. Another reason to wax frequently is that you may even experience less hair growth over time.

There are certain medications and products that should not be taken or used if you plan to have a waxing treatment soon. Topical exfoliants used on the area to be waxed such as Retin-A, Renova, and hydroquinone, oral acne medications such as Accutane, blood-thinning medications, and topical/oral cortisone make the skin more sensitive and increase the likelihood of irritation or other complications. Please check with your doctor if you are unsure whether you should be waxed while on or using a medication.

Waxing reduces hair growth when performed every four weeks. While shaving crops the hair at the skin’s surface, waxing pulls it out by the root, so it grows back softer, finer, and thinner. Waxing is great for those who are tired of the hassle of shaving several times per week. The more you wax, the less hair grows back.

Please do not shave between waxing appointments! It disrupts the hair growth cycle resulting in more hair at your next appointment.

• Preferable to not exercise for 24-48 hours after waxing as it may cause an infection of the hair follicles in some people.
• DON’T go swimming in the pool or ocean, and it’s best to not submerge freshly waxed skin in water for 24-48 hours.
• Preferable to not drink alcohol prior to your waxing service. May cause excessive bleeding.
• DON’T expose newly waxed skin to the sun, hot tubs, sauna, suntan booths, or extreme heat for 24- 48 hours.
• DON’T apply heavily perfumed or thick lotions/butters to freshly waxed skin. May clog hair follicles.
• DON’T use products containing alcohol in the bikini area. May cause ingrown hair or irritate skin.
• DON’T exfoliate your skin for 1 week prior to waxing. The process of waxing exfoliates the skin.
• Wait for 6 months after Accutane treatment, laser resurfacing, or a chemical peel to begin waxing.

Having radiant skin every day isn’t always easy, and even the healthiest lifestyle and skincare regimen can leave you with a dull or ruddy complexion.

Chemical peels are some of the simplest and most effective treatments for achieving that radiant glow, and are one of the oldest cosmetic procedures performed around the world. Not only can you expect smooth and clear skin with these treatments, but chemical peels can also help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

If you’re looking for a dramatic “lift” to your appearance without expensive surgery, chemical peels could be the secret to getting that youthful look.

• Reduction of blotchy patches: Skin blotches can create a dull complexion, and typically do not clear up on their own. A chemical peel can penetrate deep enough to remove the layer of darker skin to even out your skin tone.
• Reducing the appearance of sun damage: The sun is the leading cause of fine lines and wrinkles, and these can be prevented with a healthy skincare regimen. Chemical peels remove the layer of skin that may be affected by sun damage to leave behind a fresh and smooth layer.
• Acne management: If you’re suffering from acne, a chemical peel may be a valuable part of your treatment program. Lighter peels such as AHAs and glycolic acid peels are more appropriate for sensitive and acne-prone skin, and can help clear up inflammation and even acne scars after a few months of treatment.
• Lightening of the skin: The change of seasons, poor diet, or even a lack of rest can leave you with a dull and ruddy complexion. Mild chemical peels made with natural lighteners even your skin tone, leave your skin lighter and brighter.
• Low downtime: Mild gentle peels has no or just you a few days with little noticeable peeling on the skin.
• Smoother skin:. Revealing a fresh layer of skin means you’ll have a smooth and youthful appearance and improved skin texture.
• Reduce age spots: Age spots can be difficult to hide under makeup, but chemical peels can help reduce pigmentation and even out your skin tone.
• Fast and simple procedures: The process of applying the chemical peel solution and letting it set rarely takes no longer than 30 minutes.
• Improved collagen growth: Glycolic acid peels in particular will help with collagen production; collagen is a building block of skin tissue that creates a strong and supple skin surface.
• Better skin quality: Removing dead skin cells regularly will freshen up the skin and leave it silky smooth; chemical peels help remove dead skin cells and will even out the skin tone to leave you with a fresh and youthful glow.

As you go through your process of achieving clear skin on your face and/or body, you will want to come in for treatments every two weeks to achieve the best results. Treatments are for:

● exfoliating the skin so that home care product can penetrate the pore more easily; or,
● hydrating the skin so that the skin is receptive to your home-care regimen
● extracting existing acne impactions

Each acne treatment is specifically focused on what the skin needs at the time of treatment. Sometimes the skin will need more hydration, other times it will need more anti-bacterial and/or anti-inflammatory action.
