ABOUT TREATMENTS

What is a Hydrafacial treatment?

A Hydrafacial is a medical-grade facial treatment that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and serum infusions into one procedure. Treatment uses vortex technology to remove dead skin cells, blackheads, whiteheads, sebum, dirt and debris from every single pore while simultaneously delivering critical nutrients and antioxidants to revive your skin barrier.

This treatment is for you if you’re experiencing recurring and persistent, moderate to severe active acne including blackheads, whiteheads, pustules and cystic breakouts. For you if you’ve tried everything with little to no success and you’ve absolutely had it.

Clinical deep cleanse, chemical exfoliation with a gentle peel and thorough extractions to decongest and treat inflammation. Multi-masking and cryotherapy to restore and rejuvenate, followed by various modalities based on your skin’s healing progression and barrier health, including high frequency, oxygen therapy and LED light therapy. Finally, appropriate dermal layering using clinical-grade, non-pore clogging skin care. 
During this appointment, you’ll also receive a customized at-home regimen Rx for your skin with guidance on what to use and when.

Microspears are liquid microneedles made from hydrolyzed sponges (spicules) coated with stem cells and amino acids. This treatment is clinically proven to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, treat active acne, soften skin texture, brighten and even skin tone resulting in dewy, healthy and glowing skin. And, requires no numbing, physical needles or downtime in order to achieve the same or better results as traditional microneedling. 
This treatment is appropriate for all skin tones, and for oily skin, acne-prone skin, aging skin; and for anyone experiencing pigmentation, melasma, sun damage, scars and texture. Not appropriate for skin experiencing active acne, open wounds, rashes, sunburns or rosacea, or for pregnant women or anyone using Accutane. Not appropriate for anyone with a nut allergy (macadamia).
