skin treatment

Our Skin Treatment service is meticulously designed to address a variety of skin concerns, including dullness, aging, acne, and dehydration.

The treatment performed includes a multi-step process: beginning with a thorough skin analysis, followed by deep cleansing, exfoliation, and targeted treatment serums or masks. The treatment often concludes with a calming moisturizer to hydrate and protect the skin.

Before

Prior to the treatment, the skin may appear dull, tired, or uneven, with visible concerns such as dry patches, fine lines, blemishes, or an overall lack of radiance.

After

The complexion typically looks brighter, clearer, and more even-toned. Hydrated skin diminishes the appearance of fine lines while any redness or blemishes are soothed, leading to a smoother and more youthful appearance.

lash lift

A Lash Lift service offers a semi-permanent curling treatment that enhances the appearance of your natural eyelashes, creating a more open and youthful eye look. Unlike lash extensions, a lash lift adjusts the shape and color of your natural lashes.

This service enhances the natural lashes without the need for extensions, providing a more natural and low-upkeep alternative to obtaining fuller-looking eyelashes.

Before

Clients typically seek a lash lift because their natural lashes may lack curvature, making them appear shorter and less visible even when they are of decent length and volume. The natural eye shape may seem less defined, and clients often rely on daily curling and mascara applications.

After

Our clients are left with beautifully curled lashes that open up the eye area and add length to the appearance of each lash. A lash lift can last anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks, depending on the individual's lash growth cycle and aftercare.

lashes & brows

Our Brow and Lash Tint service is designed to enhance the natural beauty and definition of your eyebrows and eyelashes. The treatment involves applying a semi-permanent dye to your brows and lashes, tailored to match your desired color intensity and complement your natural skin tone and hair color.

Before

Many clients come in with eyebrows and eyelashes that may appear lighter in color, less defined, or thinner than desired. This natural appearance can make the facial features seem less pronounced and can also mean more time spent on daily makeup routines to enhance these areas artificially.

After

Post-treatment, clients notice an immediate transformation in their brows and lashes. Eyebrows appear fuller, more defined, and better shaped, framing the face beautifully without the need for eyebrow pencils or powders.

Before

Before undergoing the IPL for Dry Eye & Photo Facial treatment, our clients often struggle with visible age spots, sun damage, and an uneven skin tone. Daily efforts to conceal these concerns with cosmetics and skincare products may provide temporary relief, but a more long-term solution is desired.

After

Following the IPL for Dry Eye & Photo Facial sessions, our clients are delighted to discover remarkable improvements in their skin's appearance. The once-prominent age spots have visibly reduced, contributing to a more even and radiant complexion. Not only has the treatment improved their skin tone, but it has also left their skin smoother and rejuvenated.

pre/AFTER care tips

Following these pre and post-treatment care instructions can significantly enhance the benefits of your skin treatment service and help maintain your results for a longer duration.

IPL for Dry Eye & photo facial

  • IPL feels like a warm rubber band hitting the face. It is well tolerated and dissipates very quickly.

  • For 2 Weeks: Avoid sun exposure and do not tan at all (this includes self-tanner)

    For 3 Days: Avoid exposing the treatment area to excessive heat or friction (e.g. hot tubs, saunas, heavy exercise, etc.) This includes abrasive facial cleansers, exfoliants, masks, and/or peels.

    Do not use any retinol products (or products containing tretinoin)

    Discontinue use of photosensitizing medications, including doxycycline and minocycline.

    Daily: Be sure to apply sunscreen (SPF 50)

    Day Of Treatment: Arrive with a clean, makeup-free face. Contacts are fine to wear.

  • Continue to follow the preparation chart listed above.

    You may experience mild eye redness or discomfort.

    These symptoms may persist for about a week or so, as your oil glands begin replacing their natural oils.

    You may have a mild sunburn (burning) sensation following the treatment. This should subside within a few hours.

    Your skin will be fragile for 2-3 days, so you may notice redness and/or slight swelling. This is normal and should not persist.

    Excessively hot water should be avoided during this time.

    Pigmented areas may begin to flake after a few days; crusting or blistering is uncommon yet not serious.

    Do not pick these spots once they become dry, instead, we recommend a gentle facial cleanser; but be sure to avoid rubbing or agitating the skin.

    Sunspots and age spots will darken with the IPL treatments before they begin to respond and resolve. This is expected and a normal part of the IPL process.

Radio Frequency (RF)

  • Radiofrequency feels like a hot stone massage around your eyes. This treatment is both effective and soothing.

  • For 2 Weeks: Avoid sun exposure and do not tan at all (this includes self-tanner).

    For 3 Days: Avoid exposing the treatment area to excessive heat or friction (e.g., hot tubs, saunas, heavy exercise, etc.). This includes abrasive facial cleansers, exfoliants, masks, and/or peels.

    Do not use any retinol products (or products containing tretinoin).

    Discontinue use of photosensitizing medications, including doxycycline and minocycline.

    Daily: Be sure to apply sunscreen (SPF 50).

    Day Of Treatment: Arrive with a clean, makeup-free face. Contacts are fine to wear.

  • Continue to follow the preparation chart listed above.

    Ears may feel “clogged” and/or “jaw tightness”: Some patients may experience this when having full face treatment performed.

    Erythema, or General Tissue Redness/Irritation: This is very common and may present for few hours after treatment

    “Achy” or “Sore” Feeling on Treatment Area: This can last between 24-48 hours (about 2 days)

    You can expect full results in up to 8–12 weeks (about 3 months) to appear.

    Some patients show results after the first treatment, and other patients take a little while longer. With the formation of new cells, and stimulated collagen production, healing looks different for everyone.
