About Facial Treatments

Minimally invasive procedures such as facials are some of the most popular aesthetic treatments for reversing the effects of age or improving skin quality. In 2020, specialists performed approximately 15.6 million cosmetic procedures, and 90% of them were minimally invasive. (1) Facials can also help your skin heal from sun exposure. Approximately 18% of general practice consultations are for skin-related diseases, (2) and sun exposure can increase your risk of developing diseases such as cancer. Daily environmental stressors can result in fine lines and wrinkles if not addressed with the proper tools. Regular facial treatments can help you care for your skin properly and minimize the effects of environmental elements.

With professional facial treatments, you also reduce the risk of damaging your skin by using improper tools or products. Our team can recommend products for your skin type and unique needs. Shopping for cosmetics and navigating skincare ingredients can be confusing. Our team will provide personalized recommendations so you can focus on maintaining your natural glow.

Dermaplane Facial

If you are looking for a solution to acne scars, blemishes, or peach fuzz, a Dermaplane Facial will refresh your skin. During this treatment, our team will remove dead skin cells with manual exfoliation techniques for a brighter appearance.

Benefits

Dermaplane Facials are a natural way to achieve a healthy glow and reveal healthy new skin because they accelerate your body’s natural cell turnover process. Dermaplaning is an effective remedy for:

  • Acne Scars
  • Scaly Skin Patches
  • Peach Fuzz
  • Sun Exposure
  • Dry Skin
  • Fine Lines

How it Works

During a Dermaplane Facial, our team will use a topical numbing solution on your face and scrape away excess skin with a delicate tool. You may feel some tugging or slight pressure on your skin, but it will not be painful. After we are finished removing the dead skin cells, we will use an ointment or serum to relieve any temporary redness or irritation. The amount of time a Dermaplane Facial takes will depend on the size of the area you would like to treat.

Hydrafacial

A Hydrafacial resurfaces and hydrates your skin for a plump and youthful look. If you have blemishes or are struggling to maintain proper moisture, this treatment can restore your skin within an hour. A Hydrafacial treatment begins with microdermabrasion to purify your skin and remove excess skin cells. Hydradermabrasion clears away debris by targeting the skin with aqua exfoliating tips. This treatment increases cell turnover so you can enjoy renewed skin for a younger appearance. We will also apply oxygen to hydrate your skin and help you achieve a natural radiance.

Benefits

A Hydrafacial is a multifunctional treatment that helps your skin recover from environmental elements. This comprehensive procedure focuses on providing intense hydration, restoring the skin’s natural moisture balance, and promoting cell turnover to stimulate collagen production. With gentle exfoliation techniques, deep cleansing, and specialized hydrating serums and masks, this facial treatment nourishes, plumps, and moisturizes the skin, resulting in a more refreshed and youthful appearance.

ZO Stimulator Peel

A ZO Stimulator Peel is an enzyme treatment that brightens your skin by removing dead skin cells. If you are struggling with clogged pores, it may be the result of excess oil. The ZO Stimulator Peel revives your skin by removing oil and moisturizing your skin to reduce the appearance of fine lines. The treatment clarifies your skin with water-soluble (AHA) and oil-soluble (BHA) acids. The powerful cleansing duo removes buildup to reveal your radiant skin underneath.

ZO 3-Step Peel

The ZO 3-Step Peel is an effective treatment for restoring your skin if you are experiencing fine lines and wrinkles. After a 3-Step Peel, you will see a noticeable reduction in wrinkles and a more radiant complexion.

ZO Brightening Sheet Mask

A ZO Brightening Sheet Mask will reduce excess skin cells to unleash your radiant glow and help you look your best. If you have been struggling with dry skin that cannot rehydrate, this treatment will lock in moisture. The pre-cut sheets are easy to apply and designed for maximum coverage.

For an intense glow, a 24K Gold Facial will restore your youthful appearance and leave you with a smooth, plump look. Gold is one of the best treatments for inflamed skin. This diverse and customizable facial can restore your complexion. If you have inflammation from acne, we can use this facial to depuff your skin to enhance your natural beauty.

Antioxidant & Stimulant Facial

Antioxidants are useful for fighting skin-damaging free radicals and helping you maintain your overall skin health. We use goji extract, quinoa seeds, and seaweed extract to reinforce your skin barrier with free-radical fighting agents and help you maintain your youthful appearance. We also stimulate cell production and treat signs of aging immediately to prevent long-lasting fine lines or the formation of wrinkles.

Detoxifying & Moisturizing Facial

A Detoxifying and Moisturizing Facial is a treatment that uses manual exfoliation to remove dead skin cells to refresh your youthful appearance and help you achieve that time-defying glow.

Corresponding Procedures

Injectables

Dermal fillers consist of various substances, including hyaluronic acid, that are injected into the skin to restore volume, enhance facial contours, and reduce the signs of aging. These non-surgical facial enhancements have gained immense popularity in recent years due to their ability to provide natural-looking results with minimal downtime. Popular ranges include Juvederm and Restylane.

Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a noninvasive treatment that helps you remove unwanted hair. Unwanted hair under the arms, on the legs, or on the bikini line can be a source of dissatisfaction and self-consciousness for many individuals. Laser hair removal offers a solution to this problem by utilizing advanced laser technology to target hair follicles and inhibit hair growth.
