“WHAT TREATMENT DO I NEED?” This question ranks as the most frequently asked!
Clients often feel confused by all the available options. Many also hesitate to commit to a treatment they don’t fully understand. Let’s take the mystery out of some of the services at the studio:
Our SkinPro Facial Treatment differs from a typical “spa” facial. This service addresses your main skincare concern. Most modalities are “covered” with this choice for treatment. All treatments include an exfoliation and a healing modality. These vary greatly for each client and sometimes for each visit. We don’t follow a cookie cutter, “read the protocol put on the creams, take off the creams” kind of place. Instead, we speak to you about what your concerns are and then develop a treatment plan for that day or perhaps the next several visits depending on what your needs and wants are for treatment.
Let’s give some highlights on what our different modalities are and why the are used:
Microdermabrasion: We use Microdermabrasion to revive dull skin and dry skin, while addressing pigmentation from the sun, acne scarring and congested skin (large pores). Most clients notice immediate improvement. You can include microdermabrasion as part of the SkinPro Facial Treatment.
Micro-Current: Micro-current stands out as one of our go-to tools. This modality builds collagen, create healing of the skin barrier, promote lymphatic draining, restore facial muscle shape, decrease bacteria on the skin, increase moisture and restore luminosity to the skin. We incorporate micro-current with our SkinPro Facial treatment as a tool but it is not the same as a full micro-current treatment. For sculpting the face and lifting the skin, we offer full micro-current treatments as an add-on or a standalone service. This is a fairly in-depth process so it is listed as an add on. But is is also a Facial Treatment or a stand alone for all micro-current. Many clients, and therapists alike, love this therapy.
Chemical Peels are exfoliants in skincare. These chemicals can sometimes be combinations or individually. We use: plant and fruit enzymes, AHA (alpha hydroxy acids) and BHA (beta hydroxy acids), TCA , Modified Jessner, and green peels (marine and plant ingredients) depending upon your goals for treatment. Not all chemical peels cause the skin to “peel,” but the process is designed to create exfoliation of the skin without a mechanical exfoliation. Chemical peels require conversation with us to best match the peel to the person. The biggest thing to consider when getting a peel is the real possibility that it may “peel” for several days. Do not choose a peel if you have an event in the next week or plan an extended sunny vacation within a week.
Cold Plasma or Magic Wand: We use this high frequency adjacent treatment as an energy modality to penetrate products into the skin, reduce redness, decrease bacteria and improve tone and texture. It varies in levels of energy, but is not painful. Though it produces an ozone-type smell which isn’t troubling but noticeable. Typically, this is an add on to therapies. And we use it in our Ultimate treatment along with micro-current and LED. Cold plasma is a new spin on an established technology so it is safe for most and has no downtime.
LED Therapy: Most clients love LED therapy, often calling it the “light nap” due to its relaxing effects. This FDA-approved treatment addresses aging skin, acne, and pain. Here, we use a Celluma panel that emits red, blue and infrared light during each treatment.
Herbal Harmony: This treatment offers an experience beyond a typical facial. This is because we only use products made in-house for this treatment. Which means they are all fresh and created based on the season and the needs of the client. As if fresh effective products aren’t enough, we also utilize advanced facial massage techniques and acupressure points during treatment. As a result, you can expect glowing skin that is less puffy thanks to manual lymphatic drainage as well as neck shoulder and decollate massage to return muscles and skin to it’s natural toned form. And if you really want the experience, add a scalp massage or foot massage to this treatment. Honestly, you can’t lose either way.
I hope this takes away some of the questions you may have about different skincare treatments. I love educating clients on what’s available and will happily discuss any questions you have. Most importantly, I listen closely to what you want to achieve, which is the best way to choose a treatment!
