About

Skin Care by Sylvia is a studio at 2901 Ocean Park Blvd, Suite 207, in Santa Monica, owned by Sylvia Shapiro, who works as the esthetician and electrologist. The studio is open Monday to Friday, 10 am to 5 pm, and can be reached at (310) 979-4800. Services include electrolysis hair removal, facial treatments, sugaring and waxing, lash and brow treatment, men's services and a free skin analysis.

Facials are built around concerns including acne, rosacea and anti-aging. Every facial includes a neck, shoulder or hand massage, a skin analysis and home care recommendations, and can be adjusted to the client. The menu runs from a Teen Therapeutic Facial at $125 and an Organic Soothing Facial at $150 (without extractions) to a Deep Cleanse for acne from $165 with extractions, an Osmosis Medical Facial at $195, and a Microcurrent Facial at $225 that uses the Edge Systems Ultrasonic Skin System. A 35-minute Lunch Time Facial is $105, a 60 to 75 minute Facial Infusion is $195, and a 35-minute microdermabrasion can be added to another facial for $115. CO2 Therapy and Oxygen Therapy are $45 each, either added to a facial or booked alone, and an Eye Treatment Mask with microcurrent is $25. The studio sells home care products for use between visits.

Electrolysis at the studio uses the Blend Method, which pairs galvanic and thermolysis currents and is chiefly applied to the face and delicate areas. Flash, also called high frequency electrolysis, covers larger body zones such as underarms, arms, legs and the bikini line, and for these pricing is quoted by phone. Appointments run 15 to 60 minutes, and how many are needed depends on hair volume, placement, thickness and growth phase. Standard rates are $95 for 30 minutes, $125 for 45 minutes and $140 for an hour, with the first visit including a free consultation. According to the studio, the American Medical Association regards electrolysis as the sole hair removal option it endorses, and the FDA has granted it approval. Permanent removal in a treated spot takes repeat sessions, the studio notes.

Sugaring and waxing uses a paste of sugar, water and lemon juice, applied against the direction of hair growth and removed along it. The studio says sugaring is typically gentler on the skin than traditional waxing and is said to be less painful. It can be used on all areas of the body and is suitable for all skin types. Separate price lists cover women's and men's face, body, arms and legs, with areas priced individually and some listed from a starting price.

Treatments are customized and combine facial work with home care, with the aim of supporting overall skin health, beauty and well-being. The studio says its methods deliver results naturally, without surgery.
