A standard facial runs 50 minutes and begins with an evaluation of the skin. Two personalized cleansing rounds follow, and exfoliation and extractions are added when the skin calls for them. For a longer plan, the Facial Rejuvenation Series is a 75-minute treatment built for each client across 10 visits. Smokers and people with sun damage may be advised to book additional sessions. The series can incorporate one specialty modality, and each extra modality costs more. Paying for all 10 sessions up front reduces the total. Afterward, maintenance facials every four to eight weeks are recommended. Microcurrent cannot be scheduled within three months of Botox.
Electrolysis consultations are free and come with no obligation. Sterile, disposable probes are used for each treatment. The practice offers thermolysis, galvanic and blend methods of permanent hair removal. The business states that electrolysis is the only FDA-approved method of permanent hair removal.
Acupuncture uses fine needles placed along energy points, and non-needle options such as moxibustion, cupping and auricular acupressure are also available. The practice uses acupuncture for concerns including back and neck pain, headaches, insomnia, stress, digestive issues and skin conditions. The business states that most health concerns can be positively supported with acupuncture. The weight loss program is a 12-week individualized plan built on Oriental Medicine, lifestyle changes and metabolic typing, and it may include a 21-day detox and purification program, nutritional counseling, herbs and tinctures, hypnotherapy and a customized exercise plan.
