The VI Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel and the salon's most popular treatment, according to the salon. It is described as working to reduce melanin production at the source while encouraging cell turnover, with the aim of a more even skin tone. The salon says results can be seen within seven days.

Facial treatments include dermaplaning with enzyme or lactic, which removes the top layer of dull, dead skin cells. Microdermabrasion uses a minimally abrasive instrument to take off the thicker outer layer of skin. The Signature Hydrafacial cleanses, exfoliates, extracts and hydrates the skin using serums with antioxidants, peptides and hyaluronic acid.

Beyond in-studio treatments, the practice offers personalized skincare programs focused on corrective care. An online shop sells skinbetter science products, which are described as dermatologist tested and free of parabens, fragrance, dyes and animal cruelty. The shop also carries Alastin, iS Clinical, Revision, Rhonda Allison, SkinBetter and Skin Ceutical products, including the C E FERULIC serum, which contains 15% vitamin C, 1% vitamin E and 0.5% ferulic acid. Online orders are usually processed within one to two business days, shipped within the US by USPS Priority Mail or UPS, and are not returnable at this time; damaged or defective orders can be reported by email with a photo for a prepaid return label.

Treatments are built around medically based corrective skincare, with personalized programs for each client.
