SJ ESTHETIC

SJ Esthetic operates from Suite 3 on the first floor at 282 Grand Ave in Englewood. The menu covers facial and skin treatments, laser services, microneedling and a scalp program aimed at hair growth.

Treatments are planned around each client's needs. The business uses medical-grade skincare products. Laser hair removal can be booked for small areas such as the face, underarms, hands and bikini line, medium areas such as the full face and underarms, or large areas such as the legs, back and chest, and the business says these plans suit any skin type, complexion or body part.

The HydraFacial combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration and antioxidant protection in one non-invasive session that typically runs 30 to 45 minutes with no downtime. IPL photofacial uses intense pulsed light for sun damage, age spots and rosacea and is described as quick and relatively painless. Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment meant to stimulate collagen and support skin texture, fine lines and the absorption of skincare products.

Keravive is a three-step scalp treatment: a deep cleanse, a stimulation step and a maintenance step that includes a take-home spray containing the same peptide complex applied during the session. It can be repeated as often as once a month, and the business recommends a package of three or more sessions about a month apart. It is designed to address low scalp hydration, clogged follicles, buildup, poor circulation, dryness, itching, flaking and inflammation. The business says some clients notice changes in scalp health and hair growth after the first treatment, though timing varies.

The business is open Wednesday and Thursday from 9:30 am to 5:00 pm, Friday from 9:30 am to 5:30 pm and Saturday from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm. It describes its service as unparalleled with real results, its technology as cutting-edge, and itself as the best choice for beauty treatment needs; these are its own claims. The setting is meant to feel comforting.

Treatments are customized to each client's needs, with laser plans personalized to the individual.
