RADIANT RESULTS THAT LAST.
DiamondGlow®
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 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.
We recommend 1-2 treatments per month to see continued improvement and glowing results. Your Esthetician will determine your personalized treatment plan.
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.
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.
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.
MORE THEN SKIN DEEP.
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.
What is Dermaplaning?
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.
Waxing
Banishes undesirable hair from virtually anywhere on the body for smooth, touchable skin with our unique and high-quality wax. Formulated to provide more adherences to the hairs and less traction on the skin for less painful yet effective wax. For best results, hair should be at least ¼’ in length. Sun exposure is not recommended after waxing services. Discontinue prescription and OTC retinol 5-7 days before any facial waxing. Accutane patients cannot wax. Prices are subject to change based on special requests.
Lash & Brow
Enhance your natural beauty with our lash and brow tinting, lifting, and lamination services. Tinting adds rich, lasting color to brows and lashes, giving them a bold, defined look. Brow lamination tames unruly hairs, creating a sleek, full, and polished appearance, while lash lifting gives your natural lashes a stunning, eye-opening curl. Together, these treatments deliver a low-maintenance, high-impact look that keeps you feeling fresh and flawless every day.

Lash Tinting
Eyelash color boost designed specifically to make your lashes appear thicker and darker and is especially recommended with the lash lift for an instant “glamour ready.”
Brow Tinting
Brow color boost will give you the appearance of thicker brows. For those who want to enhance and define the finer and lighter hairs of their existing brows is an ideal option.
Brow Lamination
Designed to straighten your eyebrow hairs so they are all in the same desired direction. The results are a more defined-looking natural brow. It will last anywhere between four to six weeks.

Contoured Shaded Brows is an advanced semi-permanent makeup technique meticulously designed to enhance the natural structure of the eyebrows by creating depth and dimension. This sophisticated method involves the precise deposition of pigment in a gradient pattern, seamlessly transitioning from a soft, lighter hue at the inner brow to a richer, more defined shade toward the tail.
The result is a flawlessly blended, powdered effect that exudes elegance and refinement, reminiscent of expertly applied brow makeup. This technique is ideal for individuals seeking to elevate their brows with added fullness, symmetry, and definition, delivering a polished, long-lasting enhancement that harmoniously complements facial features.
Lash Line
Lash line enhancement is a semi-permanent makeup technique in which pigment is delicately implanted along the lash line. This enhances the natural appearance of the eyes by creating a fuller, darker lash base without the look of traditional eyeliner. It gives the eyes a subtle, natural definition.
