Facials

What you should know before getting a facial?

We recommend not getting a facial close to a big event—plan for at least a week in advance
Please make sure you are not using heavy medication such as Retin-A, benzoyl peroxide or other heavy peels.
Avoid direct sunlight after getting a peel for 2 to 3 days. Also avoid sweating on the day following your appointment.
We start all Glycolic Peels around 35%. We also offer TCA chemical peels but they are only offered to existing clients who are familiar with their skin and home skincare routines.
If this is your first facial with us and you can’t decide which facial is best for you then you can choose the one that best describes your skin concerns and we can adjust it if needed.

How soon should I get a facial before a wedding or big event?

We recommend getting a facial at least 7-10 days prior to the event.

How does the Microdermabrasion treatment work?

Microdermabrasion facial works in two ways:

By gently exfoliating or removing the outside layers of the skin; and
Using the vacuum to help stimulate microcirculation, improving skin texture and elasticity.

Is There Any Downtime After a Treatment?

Microdermabrasion facials are a safe and gentle procedure with no downtime. You will need to protect your skin with moisturizer and sunblock for 48 hours after the treatment.

Are there any side effects?

One may experience a slight tingling, and the skin may feel tighter afterwards. Skin may appear slightly flushed--this generally fades in 12-24 hours. You may experience peeling or flaking—this is a sign of the cell renewal process being stimulated.

Is it safe?

Yes; Microdermabrasion can be performed on most skin types and tones, as well as on reactive, sensitive skin.

Waxing

What are the benefits of waxing?

Waxing thins and reduces hair growth when you receive regular wax treatments every four weeks. Waxing pulls the hair out by the root. After the wax, the hair grows back finer, softer and thinner.

How should I prepare for a waxing service?

To prepare for any type of waxing, the hair should be at least 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch for best results. If you have hair that is coarse, it should be closer to 1/2-inch for the first few wax treatments.There are certain medications and products that should not be taken or used prior to your service including; Retin-A, Renova, hydroquinone, Accutane, blood-thinning medications, and topical/oral cortisone.

What is Microcurrent?

icrocurrent is a low level of electrical current that mirrors the body's own natural current. The intended result of microcurrent facial therapy is to aid in the battle of anti-aging by diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improving the texture and appearance of the skin, re-educating and toning facial muscles, and reducing the overall visual appearance of aging.

How does it work?

Facial toning is achieved through muscle re-education, working a muscle from its origin and insertion inward to shorten slackened muscles (such as in the cheeks or forehead), and working from the belly outward to lengthen contracted muscles (such as the muscles that pull the corners of the mouth downward). Microcurrent also offers specific iontophoresis which allows superior penetration of serums into the skin.

What type of skin can benefit from Microcurrent?

Microcurrent therapy aids in reducing the signs of aging of all skin types.

How soon will I see some improvement?

Although a remarkable difference is seen after the first treatment, the benefits of microcurrent are cumulative, and as such, microcurrent treatments are typically performed in a series to gain maximum anti-aging results.

Is microcurrent for everyone?

While most people can benefit by the application of microcurrent, there are some absolute contraindications; it cannot be performed on persons with epilepsy, pacemaker, pregnant women, or anyone with active cancer.
