Catered Skincare Treatment
Customized Facial: Completely tailored to your specific skincare needs - from anti-aging to acne to stress relief. Each client is given a consultation and skin analysis to define your skincare goals and create a treatment program to help you achieve those goals. Head, neck and shoulder massage included. 60 Minutes: $80
Microdermabrasion Facial: Our customized facial with a microdermabrasion exfoliation. During microdermabrasion, your esthetician uses vaccum suction from a diamond tip hand piece to exfoliate the surface of the skin. Your skin is cleared of blackheads, dead skin cells, excess oil and other debris. A light enzyme treatment is then applied to encourage new skin cell growth. A massage for the face, scalp, neck and shoulders is included followed by a mask specifically blended for your skin type and condition. 60 Minutes: $100
Dermaplaning: Dermaplaning is a gentle exfoliation that removes the top layer of dead skin and vellus hair (peach fuzz). Your skin will feel incredibly smooth. Your skincare products will absorb better and your makeup will appear more flawless. Your skin will be cleansed, dermaplaned, a light AHA enzyme will be applied and finish with appropriate serums and sun protection. Great exfoliation choice for clients with sensitive skin and pregnant clients who are contraindicated from other forms of exfoliation. 30 Minutes: $50; or add me to a Customized Facial or Hydro Glo Deluxe for just $25!

Microneedling with Radio Frequency: Microneedling is a form of controlled trauma, which utilizes sterile one-time use surgical steel, fine point micro/ nano needles to create tiny micro- conduits in the epidermis. These micro/ nano needles work at varying lengths, in order to create a false trauma healing response and to provide micro channels for irrigation of safe and healthy targeted ingredients. Microneedling encourages the production of collagen, the strengthening of elastin and the dermal infrastructure. The result of this is the filling out of depressed skin texture such as wrinkles, acne scars and dilated pores. In addition, microneedling will help alleviate and lighten hyperpigmentation. This treatment includes a double cleanse, numbing cream for 20 minutes, application of serums and microneedling oil, radio frequency massage for increased product absorption and skin tightening, hydrating serum and super sooth cream.
You will be given super sooth cream to take home. It must be applied 2x per day for 5 days. After the initial 12 hours, SPF must be applied for 7 days. A hydrating serum under the soothing cream is highly recommended. Both SPF and a hydrating serum are available for purchase.
Microneedling can be performed every 2 weeks. Generally, most texture issues can be resolved in a series of 3. Heavier texture may require 5-8 treatments. Sometimes more sessions may be required depending upon depth of wrinkles and/or acne scaring. 60 Minutes: $195 or 3 for $525
