Before beginning facial treatments, it is important to evaluate the type of skin, and get a background on products used on the skin, as well as any medical conditions that may affect your treatment.  With that information, you Esthetician can recommend which treatment would best suit your skin and help you achieve your goals. 

A thorough consultation is also necessary before beginning your Electrolysis treatments.  It is important for the client to be aware of what the procedure entails, and the Electrologist must know of any medical or skin conditions that may affect the treatment.  Goals and expectations are discussed, as well as the particulars of the procedure, and recommendations for proper after care.

Note: We are available for seminars, classes, and homecare skincare parties.

Electrolysis

Electrolysis is the only scientifically proven method of permanent hair removal. Discovered by an Ophthalmologist in 1875, it has a long history, and no known dangerous side effects. A needle is inserted into the hair follicle, and a small amount of current is applied. The current cauterizes the papilla, which is the hair's blood supply, rendering the follicle incapable of producing a subsequent hair. The hair slides out effortlessly, and the next hair is treated. Electrolysis is appropriate for treating all types of hair, including fine and blonde hair. The charges for Electrolysis are based on the length of each session.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a physical exfoliating treatment. It utilizes equipment which sprays a fine mist of micro crystals onto the skin, and then vacuums them back up using suction. This suction action is useful in assisting with the production of collagen. The crystals leave the skin silky smooth to the touch. Indications for Microdermabrasion include the treatment of hyperpigmentation (dark spots or freckles), blackheads, fine lines and wrinkles and a dull sallow appearance to the skin. After a treatment, the skin is left with a beautiful healthy glow. Microdermabrasion is most effective when done in a series of 6 treatments every two weeks.
