A facial is a professional cleansing, purifying, and beautifying treatment of the skin on the face and neck. Facials are the number one treatment performed by Estheticians, and a good way for me to get a good understanding of your skin prior to suggesting more aggressive treatments.

 For most people, facials can be scheduled every four weeks, although I may recommend a different schedule. There are many variations of facials based on different needs, as well as different lengths of time. A mini facial may be only 20–30 minutes in length, while a more luxurious version may be 75–90 minutes in length. 

Rosacea is a chronic skin disease that causes varying degrees of redness and swelling, primarily on the face, but also at times on the scalp, neck, ears, chest, and back. It is considered a vascular disorder (a disorder of the blood vessels).

Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical procedure that removes damaged outer layers of the skin. It strengthens the skin barrier, brightens and softens the skin, promotes collagen production, improves overall tone and texture.

 Dermaplaning is a gentle exfoliating treatment that can help to exfoliate your skin and remove unwanted peach fuzz. Your dermaplaning appointment will be scheduled when the skin is slightly less than normal to give you maximum benefit from the service. This procedure can be done on all people, regardless of age or skin type.

 The causes of acne are complex, but usually involve the overproduction of oil, an internal imbalance, the blockage of follicles that release the oil, and the growth of bacteria in those follicles. Acne is not only painful but can be very emotionally and psychologically challenging as well. We will find the right treatment for you!

Waxing removes hair from the root to stop it from growing back. Waxing can be performed on many parts of the body including eyebrows, the face, arms, legs and bikini area. Warm wax is applied to the skin then removed with a cloth strip in one quick motion.

When the layer of skin absorbs infrared light, the fibroblast cells that are responsible for the production of collagen proteins are stimulated. The increase in collagen production can make the skin look smoother, which can mitigate the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. LED also helps treat acne.
