  • M Signature Facial
    Our signature facial is gentle enough for the most sensitive skin! Your esthetician will perform a detailed skin analysis, followed by an enzyme mask and steam, light extractions, relaxing décolleté massage, and a skin mask customized to your skin’s unique needs. A final protective moisturizer leaves your skin looking refreshed and rejuvenated.​
  • H2O Phytomer Facial
    Perfect for dehydrated and sensitive skin. This relaxing facial includes a self-heating mud masque for your back to put your tense muscles at ease, followed by massage, gentle yet effective exfoliation, and the Phytomer Tensing soothing masque. The result is profound, moisturized, satiny soft skin radiating with vitality.
  • Skin Refresher-Vitamin C
    Skinceuticals Vitamin C Firming Masque exfoliates the skin and protects cells from free-radical damage while tightening, detoxifying, and restoring a firm, youthful, radiant complexion.
  • SkinMedica Illuminize Peel
    The SkinMedica® Illuminize Peel® helps provide vibrant, radiant-looking skin with minimal downtime. Appropriate for treating mild skin imperfections, this peel brightens the overall appearance of skin and helps to create a more uniform complexion. After just one peel, the skin will appear more radiant. Since this peel is superficial, patients should not expect to experience peeling after treatment, and there is no expected downtime.
  • Teen Facial
    An excellent induction facial for any teen to skincare. Your esthetician will cleanse your skin, perform a detailed skin analysis, and light extractions. Your skin will then be nourished by a skin mask customized to your unique needs.
  • Deep Pore Cleansing Treatment
    Are you struggling with acne? Do you need many extractions? Then this is the facial for you. After cleansing and analyzing your skin, your esthetician will choose an enzyme or light peel to chemically exfoliate your skin. This prepares your skin for the next step, DiamondGlow. After deep cleansing, a facial massage is performed under steam to prepare for extractions. Celluma light therapy will then be applied to your face to help calm your skin and kill acne-causing bacteria. You will leave with smoother, cleaner, and healthier skin.


A gentle facial massage activates manual lymph drainage of the fluid buildup in the face and surrounding areas. This light lymphatic facial massage helps to
improve circulation, promote lymphatic flow to remove excess fluid, and push toxins and waste from the lymph nodes.


The benefits of working with the lymphatic system include aiding your body’s detoxification process, helping put it into its parasympathetic state (rest and repair), and helping to depuff by ridding excess water retention.



RADIANT RESULTS THAT LAST.

Just 1 DiamondGlow® session enhances clarity and luminosity. You’ll love your instantly dewy, brighter skin, infused with nourishing SkinMedica® Pro-Infusion Serums. But even better, you’ll see continued improvement with each treatment.

THE DIFFERENCE IS IN THE DIAMOND.

The six DiamondGlow® diamond tips allow your Esthetician to customize your treatment to suit your skin. Each tip is specifically designed for maximum efficacy and exfoliation for specific skin concerns.

What happens during a DiamondGlow treatment?

This facial combines exfoliation, extraction, and infusion—three key facial steps. That includes buffing away old, dead skin cells; removing dirt and oil from pores, and applying a potent serum that can now more easily penetrate the skin. There are six diamond tips, to allow the treatment to be customized to suit your skin. That same handpiece simultaneously uses pneumatic force (aka vacuum suction) to clear away old cells and other debris from within pores, eliminating blackheads.

As your surface skin is buffed away and your pores are cleared, the handpiece delivers the serum into your newly open pores.

Which DiamondGlow serum should you choose?

Topical skin-care serums are known for their ability to deliver powerful active ingredients to the skin, to effect targeted change. Each of the SkinMedica Pro-Infusion serums used during a DiamondGlow treatment is formulated to treat specific conditions. 

You’ll have these serum options: 

  • SkinMedica – Pore Clarifying- Powerfully draws out impurities to fight blemishes and blackheads, promoting clearer skin.  This is an ideal serum for acne-prone skin.
  • SkinMedica – HA Hyaluronic Acid- Infuses dry skin with hyaluronic acid to deeply rehydrate the skin, instantly plump it, and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
  • SkinMedica – Skin Brightening- Patented Lumixyl peptides target discoloration and brighten, improving the appearance of uneven pigmentation. 
  • SkinMedica – Vitamin C- Evens out skin tone, boosts collagen production, and acts as an antioxidant to rejuvenate and reduce cellular damage.
  • SkinMedica – TNS Advanced+  A patented Tissue Nutrient Solution blend of antioxidants, proteins, and amino acids, to target coarse wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin while enhancing tone and texture.

Together you and your Esthetician can choose a serum that best suits your skin goals and concerns. 

What can I expect after a DiamondGlow treatment?

You’ll see increased radiance and suppleness immediately after each DiamondGlow facial. Pores will be unclogged, so your skin should feel clean and look clearer. Your skin will be smoother and have a beautiful glow to match.

How often is a DiamondGlow treatment recommended?

We recommend 1-2 treatments per month to see continued improvement and glowing results. Your Esthetician will determine your personalized treatment plan.



What is Microdermabrasion? 

Microdermabrasion treatments use a minimally abrasive instrument to gently exfoliate your skin, removing the thicker, uneven outer layer and revealing healthier, more radiant skin underneath. This type of skin rejuvenation helps minimize light scarring, discoloration, sun damage, and stretch marks.

  • Microdermabrasion
    Achieve a luminous glow through a carefully controlled buffing and smoothing procedure that helps minimize enlarged pores and decrease the appearance of discoloration and fine lines. A quick and easy method of rejuvenating and brightening skin that the effects of aging and sun exposure have dulled. Successive treatments can transform skin to reveal a younger, revitalized you.
  • Microdermabrasion with peel
    Achieve a luminous glow through a SkinMedica peel chosen by your esthetician combined with a carefully controlled buffing and smoothing procedure that helps minimize enlarged pores and decrease the appearance of discoloration and fine lines. It is a quick and easy method of rejuvenating and brightening skin, and the effects of aging and sun exposure have dulled. Successive treatments can transform skin to reveal a younger, revitalized you.
  • Microdermabrasion for the back
    This treatment is for those who want to show off their smooth and glowing back. Back Microdermabrasion can help to improve the appearance of sun-damaged skin, blemishes, and some types of acne and acne scars. Microdermabrasion removes dead surface skin cells and initiates cellular turnover, resulting in improved skin tone, fewer breakouts, refined skin pores, diminished appearance of scars, and a healthy glow.
  • Bikini Microdermabrasion
    Achieve that perfect smooth bikini line! This procedure will quickly help to heal ingrown hairs and improve the appearance of dark spots and scarring post-hair removal.


What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a minimally invasive cosmetic resurfacing skin procedure to give a smoother, radiant, and flawless complexion.  A specialized blade removes the top layer of the skin.  Add this treatment before any facial to see optimal results for a polished and perfect appearance.  The results are incredible looking years younger!

 

  • softer, smoother skin
  • brighter-looking appearance
  • smoother foundation for makeup
  • a light exfoliation
  • peach-fuzz removal

Does Vellous hair grow back after Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is most commonly known for removing that unsightly fine layer of hair, but it doesn’t trigger thicker or darker hair regrowth.

           Post-procedure:

           Twelve to twenty-four hours are recommended before applying makeup.  

           Avoid manual exfoliants for three to five days.



What is the Celluma Light Therapy?

The Celluma light therapy is an anti-aging LED red and blue light therapy to promote collagen and combat acne, inflammation, under-eye wrinkles, and those pesky fine lines for healthy glowing skin. LED light therapy treatments are non-invasive, painless, and require no downtime. This treatment is for all skin types, and clients can return to regular activity immediately after the treatment. 

Low-level-light therapy or photobiomodulation is based on Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology and is the application of light energy to the body for therapeutic benefits. It promotes a natural photobiochemical reaction similar to the process of plant photosynthesis. The energy delivered by the LEDs has been shown to enhance cellular metabolism, accelerate repair and replenish damaged skin cells, and stimulate the production of collagen — the foundation of healthy, smooth skin. Research has shown that LED light therapy may help smooth skin texture, improve skin firmness and resilience, increase lymphatic system activity, restore skin’s natural cellular activity, and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and superficial hyperpigmentation.
