About

The business says it has 25 years of industry experience and describes its products and services as medical grade and FDA approved. Visits are by appointment only, and each client's plan is shaped around their anti-aging and beauty goals, beginning with a complimentary consultation. The Minneapolis location occupies a newly remodeled historic building in Uptown, where guests can stop at the Star Bar for healthy drinks and snacks. Booking is available by phone, by text at 612.627.9999, or by email.

VERSA intense pulsed light acne treatment is one of the signature offerings. It takes 15 to 20 minutes, uses red and blue light with or without Levulan photodynamic therapy, and is usually started as eight weekly sessions followed by touch-ups every one to six months. Photofacials for hyperpigmentation use the IPL 515 filter on a Sciton IPLS system with built-in cooling, and different filters are never stacked on the same area in one session. Clients are asked to avoid tanning for three to four weeks beforehand, or 14 days if they use self-tanner. The business notes that IPL photofacials are not recommended for dark ethnic skin because of the risk of scarring and hyperpigmentation.

The dermatology menu includes Cryo Pen, which uses a nitrous oxide cryotherapy tip on warts, skin tags and other benign lesions, including those on the face and around the eyes. Mole and wart removal, Skin Classic high-frequency treatments that work on the surface layer of skin, and office consultations complete the category. Body contouring includes Zerona, a cold laser treatment with no heat, needles or anesthesia, used mainly on the waist, hips and thighs in sessions of about 40 minutes. A series of at least six, every other day, is recommended. Zerona is not recommended during pregnancy, while breastfeeding, or for clients with a pacemaker, and it is considered elective and is not covered by insurance.

Chemical peels include the Modified Jessner, Triplex Acid, AlphaBeta 17% and TCA 15% options, each offered as a recommended series, with a topical retinoic acid application included.

Payment in full is due when services are rendered. Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice are subject to a fee, and all sales of products and services are final.

Treatments are tailored to each client's goals in a private, concierge-style setting, and the business says its focus is on natural, non-invasive methods.
