• Hydrates and/or detoxifies
• Increases circulation and stimulates the skin
• Slows down premature aging
• Prevents wrinkles before they occur
• Minimizes fine lines and wrinkles

A facial is ideal for anyone - Women, Men and Teens.

In most cases you should not have a reaction to a facial. It is possible that an allergic reaction may occur if a product is used that contains an ingredient that you may be allergic to. Sometimes you may develop an allergy to an ingredient that you have been using for a while. This happens very rarely. Please inform your aesthetician of all possible allergies you may have so that we can make your experience the best possible.

If you should experience a reaction after a facial, depending on how severe it is, you may want to take an OTC allergy medication to reduce symptoms. It is important to notify your aesthetician as soon as possible if you experience any negative reactions. If necessary, your aesthetician can take a look at your skin and give you further instruction as well as try to identify allergens. It is extremely important that your aesthetician knows about this, so that when you come in for your next facial, those products can be avoided.

Unfortunately, massaging the hands and feet are not in the Estheticians scope of practice regulated by the California State Board of Cosmetology, therefore we are not able to perform this service. We understand that other spas and facial places operate beyond the scope but we perform services within our guidelines.

Usually after a Microdermabrasion your skin looks and feels fresh. A slight tingling and redness may occur but usually goes away within a few hours. During the first 24 hours your skin might feel dry and tight. Some flaking may occur after the treatment. Be sure to use quality moisturizer and lots of sunscreen.

A reaction similar to a sunburn occurs following the procedure. Peeling usually involves redness, followed by scaling that ends within 7-10 days. This procedure may be repeated at one to four week intervals until desired clinical effect is achieved.

Microdermabrasion done by a professional is more intense than any at home kit. Because your actually blasting the dead skin away as opposed to rubbing it off. You also benefit from the vacuum of a machine which stimulates the collagen production. If you are not professionally trained in microdermabrasion, you are more likely to cause damage to the skin such as scarring, broken capillaries and scratches. We do not recommend performing at home microdermabrasion. There are better and safe exfoliating options for at home use. Just ask us!

A chemical peel is an accelerated form of exfoliation or skin renewal that is induced by the use of a chemical agent (i.e., AHAs, trichloroacetic acid [TCA], phenol acid, etc.). Usually a chemical peel has about a week of peeling.

Your comfort level will depend on the strength and depth of the peel. Many patients experience stinging, burning or slight discomfort with the chemical peeling agents. We will give you a fan to use to minimize the stinging.

Alpha-hydroxy acids are nontoxic substances derived from various sources, including citrus fruits, apples, sugar cane and sour milk. AHAs affect both the epidermis and dermis, causing cells to shed more quickly and certain layers to thicken. The two most common AHAs are glycolic and lactic acids.

AHAs are water-soluble and are thought to stimulate skin renewal by speeding up exfoliation of the top layer of the skin (epidermis) as well as stimulate collagen production in the dermis. BHAs are lipid (oil) soluble and therefore have been shown to be effective in the treatment of acne.

AHAs are considered light or superficial peels. They are used in concentrations of 20%-70% by a physician or under a physician’s supervision. The objective of a glycolic acid peel is to speed up the natural skin renewal process, not to wound the skin. Medium depth peels use a stronger chemical agent, typically a 10%-30% concentration trichloroacetic acid (TCA), to create a deeper wound to the skin than light, superficial peels. The medium depth peel is generally used to treat patients with moderate photo aging. The healing period is approximately one week to 10 days.

A TCA (trichloro acetic acid) is a medium strength peel and is highly effective in treating fine lines, discoloration, rough texture and uneven skin tone. It will improve superficial discoloration, such as age spots. It may improve blotches and can sometimes improve dark circles under your eyes.

There will be little discomfort following the procedure. Your face will initially appear red. Within a few days, your superficial layers of skin will turn dark, become stiff, and resemble leather. They will then crack, flake, and peel. Flaking is usually complete in four to seven days. Once your old skin has sloughed, your new skin will be bright and flushed. Once your skin has finished peeling, you may begin wearing makeup. You will physically be able to return to work immediately, but your appearance may preclude this. Most are able to comfortably return to public within seven days. You should resume skin care within two weeks of your procedure. Your flushed appearance will fade slowly over several weeks.

the benefits of LED light therapy are manifold. They include treating acne, regulating natural oil production, stimulating collagen and elastin and minimizing redness and wrinkles. Certain wavelengths have even been shown to reduce dark spots and uneven skin tone.

Blue light is generally used to kill the bacteria that causes acne, providing an effective treatment for blackheads and whiteheads, whereas wavelengths of red light are normally used to speed up healing and stimulate collagen production, simultaneously shrinking enlarged pores and tightening the skin. Our LED light panel can combine different colors to help with multiple issues.

We usually incorporate LED in any of our facials to give you the most benefits. The actual LED treatment takes 10 minutes.

The Rezenerate Wand is a professional grade, state-of-the-art precision cosmetic tool featuring nano-technology designed to address fine lines and wrinkles, blemishes, as well as acne scarring and pigmentation.  Our Rezenerate Facial is great for those who want fast results that require little to no downtime.

In a matter of 15 to 20 minutes of service with the Rezenerate wand, the Rezenerate Chip will create millions of microscopic channels in the top most layers of the stratum corneum, thereby making it ultra-absorbent for product and extremely receptive to the active ingredients in our custom blended serums.

When the skin is conditioned, topically applied serums will absorb 7 to 10 times more effectively than unconditioned skin into the epidermis and travel to the problem areas. Product efficacy will be boosted substantially and results will be greatly accelerated.

The Rezenerate Chip has an array of 49 microscopic pyramids etched into it. Each pyramid has a diameter of one third that of a human hair, the tip of the pyramid is 1/10,000 the diameter of a human hair.

Days 0 to 2- an instant reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, the skin will be tighter, firmer and plumper and for the following 48 hours the skin will look radiant and years younger.

Days 3 to 5- the skin may feel dry as the top most layer of skin experiences a gentle delayed micro peel, as a new layer of skin forms below.

Days 5 to 7- your skin may experience a tighter, more evenly toned and textured layer of skin that comes to the surface.

The Rezenerate facial is non-invasive and causes no pain or discomfort, even on thin bone covered areas like the bridge of the nose, the forehead, and around the eyes. Yes, we can go around the eye to tackle those fine lines and dark circles

Yes! Microdermabrasion works great with the Rezenerate facial.

No, since fillers and Botox are injected deep into the dermis, the Rezenerate system will not adversely affect your injections.

Aqua Fusion (hydro facial) differs from microdermabrasion because it employs a water solution rather than microcrystals. Microdermabrasion is a deeper exfoliation process. Aqua Fusion is a gentler treatment, the device sprays a supersonic jet of water droplets, which peels away the top layer of the skin. Both procedures also boost collagen production, which has an anti-aging effect on the skin. Both treatments are highly customizable.
