Who Should Get This: Everyone, for all skin types and conditions. We focus on evening out the texture and tone, deep exfoliation, and intensely nourishing the skin with over 200 vitamins, peptides, enzymes, and minerals to assist in rapid regeneration.
This is our basic signature facial consisting of 12 different treatments in one session, using a layering technique. The layering of the various technologies, all in one treatment, is unique and requires strategy and training. The method of layering all of the most important technologies currently used in skincare into one treatment is a more controlled and proactive approach to skincare which works by causing ‘controlled trauma’ to the skin, thereby forcing it to regenerate, causing old skin to be continually replaced by new skin. The treatment works by employing a carefully devised strategy using both mechanical and chemical exfoliating techniques and infusing the skin with more than 200 different vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and enzymes to target specific skin conditions and accelerate skin cell turnover. While the treatment is customized based on the client’s individual skin concerns, the following is a list of the technologies used and serves as a basic template:
2x AHA/BHA exfoliating cleanse
We start with a double cleanse with a mild exfoliant to remove dirt/debris/makeup and prep the skin for treatment. We follow this step with photos so that if you’re on our accelerated program, we are able to put together your Before/After photos to track your progress and make changes to your protocol as necessary.
2. Customized Peel
Our trained professionals will determine an individualized strategy based on optimizing your skin. If you’ve never had a peel before or have sensitivities to AHA/BHA peels, we will start off with a safe, low percentage and will work our way up to your optimal levels as we continue to treat your skin. This step allows the desmosomes within the skin’s cell structure (natural cell adhesions) to break apart allowing us to penetrate the layers of dry/dead skin. This is also a necessary step in order to prevent future breakouts after treatments by disinfecting the cells. We use natural AHA/BHA peels that are self-neutralizing.
3. Extractions
Our estheticians are highly trained in full face extractions - even cystic and hard-to-get under the skin milia in most cases, using the right tools necessary and without concerns of scarring. This is necessary in order to clear any blockages from the layers of skin to ensure adequate blood and nutrient flow.
4. Tone
The skin is now prepped and the pH is balanced to remove dry dead skin cells in the next steps.
5. Diamond Tome microdermabrasion
A method of mechanical exfoliation, microdermabrasion is a tool that removes dry dead skin cells by using a diamond tip wand for exfoliation that is attached to a vacuum pressure pump which continually sucks up the dry dead skin. The result is a gentle “sand-papering” effect on the skin which stimulates the skin cells to regenerate as it exfoliates.
6. Vitamins and minerals
We apply vitamins and minerals to feed the skin the nourishment it needs for the regeneration process to be optimal.
7. Enzymatic treatment
Digestive enzymes are used to penetrate deep into the layers and metabolize dead cells and stimulate new ones to replace them.
8. Hydrodermabrasion (Hydrafacial) customized serum infusion
Hydrodermabrasion is used for mild continued exfoliation and serum infusion directly into the pores using a high-pressured vacuum pump system.
9. Hyperbaric oxygen treatment
Oxygen is the life force of all cellular activity and facilitates the cell renewal process. Oxygen is also anti-bacterial and can kill the p.acnes and staph bacteria commonly associated with acne. We use human stem cell growth factors for maximum healing and regeneration process.
10. High Performance Retinol Treatment Mask
You’re sent home with a high performance treatment mask that will help calm and heal your skin, brighten any spots, and accelerate the cell renewal process. We request that you keep this on overnight ideally, or at least for 4 hours to ensure adequate penetration.
11. Gua Sha
A simple yet effective beauty tool used in ancient China, the gua sha effectively boosts circulation, lymphatic drainage, clears blockages, boosts product penetration, and ensures adequate blood and nutrient flow to the areas. It is one of the best investments you can make to your home regimen.
12. LED light therapy
Using visible lights for therapy at the right wavelength was a discovery made by NASA to help grow plants in space. The technology was later adapted into aesthetic skincare as it was realized that all the lights on the visible spectrum have tremendous healing and regenerative potential for the body and also skin cells.
A series of 6 treatments, done every 2 weeks, promises noticeable improvement in texture, tone, collagen production, and the diminishing of fine lines and wrinkles. After this series, a client is re-assessed and is put on a maintenance program. Changes in the skin are permanent but as we tell our clients, their skin is subject to the natural elements and changes within our bodies so a maintenance plan is recommended.
All series expire 12 months from date of purchase - unless an extension is approved in writing.
