Facials are a great option for anyone that wants a clear, balanced complexion. They provide deep cleansing with the mixture of professional grade products, technology, and the knowledge of a professional esthetician who understands skin conditions and anatomy. Facials can maintain the health of skin, address and correct certain skin conditions, and improve the overall appearance and texture of your skin.

Facials are available to both men and women of any age and those that need to combat specific skin issues. However, there are some conditions that can prevent the performance of some or all facial services. They include:

Extractions are the removal of impurities and impacted pores – specifically, blackheads, whiteheads, milia (hardened “sesame seed” like whiteheads), and sebaceous filaments (pores blocked by oil produced in the skin). Removal of these impacts allow reduced pore size while allowing them to “breathe”.

Our estheticians are trained and licensed to properly identify various skin types, conditions, and the proper approach to each. Based on your intake form, consultation, and a thorough skin analysis she will be able to suggest the best approach to reaching your skin care goals.

Chemical peels are a type of exfoliation treatment.

Chemical peels remove dead skin cells resulting in:

• Improved skin texture
• Increased skin cell turnover
• Reduced fine lines and wrinkles
• Reduction or removal of dark spots (sun damage and hyper-pigmentation)
• Stimulation of elastin and collagen (substances that make your skin firm and toned)
• Smoother softer skin

Chemical peels remove layers of skin which will temporarily make your skin more sensitive to sun exposure. As a result, it is necessary to wear at least an SPF 30 for protection and avoid the sun while receiving chemical peel treatments.

Due to chemical peels exfoliating it is not unusual to experience actual flaking and peeling. This will subside within a few days.

To experience the most amazing results from your peel please avoid waxing, depilatory creams or any other exfoliating product or procedure that may cause dryness or irritation for 5 days before. If you want to peel over the weekend we recommend scheduling your appointment on Wednesday.

3 days before your peel please avoid products and/or procedures:

• Retin-A, Renova, Differin, Tazorac, Tretinoin
• Any products containing retinol, AHA or BHA, or benzoyl peroxide
• Any exfoliating products or procedures that may be drying to the area’s to be treated

Chemical peels can be performed in individual treatment or in a series of treatments to see more significant results. Some chemical peels are gentle enough to receive treatments every 2 to 3 weeks while others are safer to receive every 4 to 6 weeks. We will discuss a treatment planned designed specifically for you and your skin care goals.

Usually your wax will last between 3–6 weeks but everyone’s rate of regrowth is different so results will vary for everyone. Hair will begin to grow back softer and thinner following your first visit. TIP: Don’t wait till it fully grows back. If the hair is long enough to pull then its time for your next visit.

Yes, you can still wax but you may experience more skin sensitivity due to the hormonal changes your body is going through. We will try to make you as comfortable as possible during the service. We recommend checking with your OB/GYN during the last two months of pregnancy.

Wait at least 24–48 hours between waxing and tanning because your skin may be more sensitive and you’re more likely to experience sunburn.

We always say that if you can grab the hair then so can the wax.

Sure, just be aware that the area is more sensitive and you may experience more discomfort than usual. We ask that you apply new tampon prior to your appointment.

It is important that we know any medications that you are taking and/or any skin products that you are using. This can ensure a safe and successful waxing experience. If you are taking or have taken any of these medications within the past three months, we need to talk. Please contact before scheduling an appointment some medications may cause the skin to thin or to be extra sensitive to waxing. 

Thin, sensitive skin can lift with the wax. If you are currently using any of the following products, they can cause the skin to be overly sensitive. 

Please inform me prior to your appointment. Other Acne medications not listed above Alpha Hydroxy Acids (Glycolic, Lactic) Topical Retinol Salicylic Acid Exfoliants/Laser Peels/Microdermabrasion Remember, it’s important that you inform or update you consent form on what medications you may be taking so we can provide you with a safe waxing experience.
