Rejuvenating (Anti-aging) Glycolic Acid Peels – $ 150.00
Glycolic acid is derived from sugar cane and, because of its smaller molecular size, effectively works to stimulate growth of new skin and collagen by penetrating the skin and decreasing the bonds that hold dead skin cells on the surface. This allows dead cells to be gradually removed, leaving behind a layer of healthy smooth skin. Glycolic acid also reduces the amount of surface skin oil, which aids in the removal of blackheads and other skin impurities and may help stimulate collagen production within the dermis, the layer of the skin located below the epidermis.

Salicylic Acid Peels for Acne – $ 150.00

** Can be done on face, back and chest

Salicylic Acid resides deep in the heart of Willow Bark and Sweet Birch trees and is a highly effective peeling agent and an excellent pore cleanser with anti-wrinkle and anti-acne properties. It works by gently removing old cells from the skin allowing it to be replaced with healthy skin; boosts collagen production and in turn balances oil production (less acne and blemishes); and lessens the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Salicylic Acid also has an anti-inflammatory effect. This acid is able to penetrate the oily material blocking pores and flush it out.

Results: Unlike Glycolic peels, which are gradual peels, using a Salicylic peel may cause visible peeling that can last up to 3 days.

Facials

A facial cleans, exfoliates and nourishes the skin to promote clear, well-hydrated skin. It is sometimes called a “deep-cleansing facial” or or “deep-pore cleansing” facial because of extractions.

The Basic Steps of a Facial

Cleansing: A facial begins with a cleansing with cotton pads or sponges and a product chosen for your skin type (normal, dry, oily, combination, sensitive, mature.)

Skin Analysis: The aesthetician covers your eyes and looks at your skin through a brightly lit magnifying lamp that reveal various skin conditions.

Exfoliation using a mechanical or chemical exfoliant: Mechanical exfoliation has a gritty texture and usually happens while a steam vapor is directed at your face.

Extraction of blackheads or whiteheads if you want it and need it: (It can cause broken capillaries and discoloration if done on sensitive skin, or done improperly.) People have different pain tolerance for extractions. They can be uncomfortable, especially on thin or ruddy skin.

Facial massage using classic strokes like effleurage to both relax you and stimulate your skin and facial muscles.

A facial mask targeted to your skin type (dry, oily, combination, sensitive, mature) and condition.

Application of toners and protective creams. Advice on home care.

Who Gives A Facial?

A professional facial should be given by a licensed aesthetician with special training in skin care.
