Advanced Facial Treatments
Anti-Aging Facial: Boosting and Tightening Treatment
This treatment is designed to address visible signs of aging by supporting collagen, improving hydration, and promoting overall firmness in the skin. The facial begins with a thorough cleansing process. If the client arrives wearing heavier makeup, a pre-cleanse with Vitamin Veil Cleanser is used to remove surface debris without disrupting the skin’s barrier. This is followed by Amandola Milk Cleanser, a cream-based formula suitable for mature or delicate skin. Its light exfoliating properties ensure an effective and gentle cleanse that prepares the skin for active ingredients used later in the treatment.
​
Once the skin is cleansed, a hydrating mist containing blueberry and white tea extracts is applied. This mist provides antioxidant support and helps counteract oxidative stress, a major contributor to premature aging. The treatment continues with a structured gua sha routine using Hyralox Facial Oil. This portion of the facial focuses on lymphatic drainage to reduce puffiness, improve circulation, and support a more lifted appearance. After the oil is removed with a warm towel, an additional application of hydrating mist restores balance and prepares the skin for the mask phase.
​
The first mask applied is the Firming Peptide Mask. This formulation targets the skin’s structural proteins and supports collagen and elastin production. Once the mask has set, it is gently softened and removed using the Lipid Replacing Cleansing Gel. This step ensures the skin remains nourished while removing the residual firmness from the peptide mask. The second mask, Snow Algae and Spirulina Cooling Mask, is then applied to calm inflammation, support repair, and deliver soothing relief. It is removed with a warm towel for client comfort.
​
A brightening mist containing licorice and bearberry extracts is then pressed into the skin. These ingredients help regulate pigment pathways, provide a more even skin tone, and offer an additional layer of hydration. A serum is selected based on the client’s skin sensitivity and anti-aging needs. The serum is fully pressed into the skin to promote maximum absorption. The eye area is then treated with Emergency Eye-Lift, an eye cream formulated to support hydration and reduce the appearance of fine lines around the eyes. An appropriate moisturizer is applied to reinforce the skin barrier and maintain hydration.
​
The treatment concludes with the application of Light Day Sunscreen Broad Spectrum. This final step provides essential protection, as the skin is more vulnerable to environmental exposure following professional treatment. Sunscreen ensures that the benefits of the facial are preserved and helps reduce future photoaging.
Acne Facial: Anti-Acne Treatment
This treatment is designed for patients experiencing oiliness, congestion, breakouts, and inflammation. The facial begins with a thorough double cleanse using a salicylic acid cleansing gel. Salicylic acid is an oil-soluble beta-hydroxy acid, allowing it to penetrate into the pores and dissolve excess sebum. The cleanser is massaged into the skin twice to ensure complete removal of surface debris and to prepare the pores for deeper treatment steps.
​
Steam is then applied for approximately ten minutes to help soften the skin and open the pores. The duration may be adjusted based on patient tolerance and how effectively the pores respond. Once the skin is properly prepped, extractions are performed as needed. A BT-Micro device is used on the nose to provide a gentle yet effective ultrasonic sebaceous cleansing, reducing congestion with minimal discomfort.
​
After extractions, the skin is toned with a White Willow and Juniper clearing mist. This formula supports hydration while also targeting excess oil and congestion. The mist is pressed into the skin until fully absorbed. The first mask, the Charcoal Milk Mask, is then applied in a breathable layer. This mask uses charcoal, clay, and mild acids to draw out impurities, absorb excess oil, and help prevent clogged pores without stripping the skin.
​
The mask is removed with a warm towel, and a second mask, the Snow Algae and Spirulina Cooling Mask, is applied. This step helps reduce inflammation, soothe the skin, and support recovery following the active ingredients used in the first mask. After an appropriate setting time, it is removed with a warm towel.
​
A second application of the White Willow and Juniper clearing mist is used to replenish hydration and continue targeting acne-prone areas. This prepares the skin for serum application. Serum 71 is then pressed into the skin. This serum reduces surface bacteria, calms inflammation, and contains a gentle AHA suitable for congestion, redness, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
​
Aqua Biotic Balancing Moisturizer follows. This lightweight water-based cream supports the skin’s microbiome, maintains a healthy pH, and reinforces the moisture barrier. It is suitable for acneic, congested, sensitive, and even mature skin types. A small amount is applied to restore moisture without contributing to oil buildup.
​
The treatment concludes with Light Day Sunscreen Broad Spectrum to protect the skin following a semi-invasive acne-focused procedure. Sunscreen is an essential final step to help prevent post-inflammatory pigment changes and maintain treatment results.
Original Facial: Relaxing Renewal Treatment
This facial is designed to support overall skin health through gentle exfoliation, hydration, massage, and customized masking. It is suitable for patients seeking relaxation while also improving skin texture, moisture levels, and general complexion balance. The treatment begins with a pre-cleanse using Vitamin Veil Cleanser when necessary. This step is used only if the patient arrives wearing a full face of makeup that needs thorough removal.
​
The primary cleanse is performed with the Lipid Replacing Cleansing Gel. This cleanser supports the skin’s natural lipid barrier, an important component of the renewal process. A double cleanse is performed if a pre-cleanse was not required. Once the skin is properly cleansed, a Blueberry and White Tea Hydrating Mist is applied and pressed gently into the skin. This mist provides hydration, antioxidant support, and soothing benefits.
​
A gentle physical exfoliation is then performed using the Micro-Exfoliating Honey Cleanser. This step removes superficial dead skin cells and helps prepare the skin for improved absorption of subsequent products. Steam is applied for five to ten minutes depending on the patient’s skin type. The purpose of steam is to soften the skin and open the pores for more effective cleansing.
​
The BT-Micro device is used next to perform an ultrasonic cleanse of the sebaceous glands on the nose, chin, and any other areas of congestion. For patients with dry, sensitive, or normal skin, Hyralox Facial Oil is used during this step to reduce friction and protect the skin. A facial and neck massage follows using a dedicated facial massage oil. The massage sequence covers the chest, neck, jawline, cheeks, temples, forehead, under-eye region, perioral area, and then returns to the neck and chest. The massage concludes with a gentle decompression pull at the head. For oily or acne-prone patients, the massage oil is replaced with the Vitamin Veil Cleanser to avoid excess occlusion.
​
All oil is then removed with a warm towel, and hydration is restored with another application of Blueberry and White Tea Hydrating Mist. A mask tailored to the patient’s needs is applied next. The mask is chosen based on the patient’s skin condition and treatment goals and is used according to its product directions. After the mask is removed with a hot towel, a second mask, the Marshmallow Whip Hydrating Mask, is applied. This formulation is used to rehydrate the skin and reduce any potential inflammation. It is also removed with a hot towel.
​
A Licorice and Bearberry Lightening Mist is then applied to provide natural brightening support while maintaining hydration and soothing the skin. Vitamin C Reversal Serum is pressed into the skin. This serum offers antioxidant protection and supports regeneration and immune defense within the skin. An appropriate moisturizer is selected based on the patient’s sensitivity level and applied to reinforce the skin barrier and maintain hydration.
​
The treatment is completed with Light Day Sunscreen Broad Spectrum to protect the skin, which is essential after any professional facial procedure.
Dermaplaning Facial
This treatment focuses on achieving smoother texture, improved product absorption, and enhanced radiance by removing superficial dead skin cells and vellus hair. The facial begins with a pre-cleanse using Vitamin Veil Cleanser when needed. This step ensures that makeup and surface debris are removed prior to the primary cleansing stage.
The second cleanse is performed with Amandola Milk Cleanser.
This cleanser removes excess oils and prepares the skin for dermaplaning. If a pre-cleanse was not required, the Amandola cleanser is applied twice to ensure a thorough double cleanse. Once the skin is clean, the face is degreased using 70 percent alcohol. This step is essential to prevent the blade from dragging against residual oils. Using gauze, the alcohol is applied across the entire face, and a fan is used to support patient comfort. The skin must be fully dry before moving forward.
For patients with dry or sensitive skin, a thin layer of Hyralox Facial Oil may be applied. This optional step helps reduce friction and minimizes irritation during the procedure. Dermaplaning is then performed using a sterile scalpel held at the appropriate angle. Through controlled movements, the blade removes vellus hair and accumulated dead skin, promoting improved penetration of topical products and supporting cell turnover.
​
Following dermaplaning, the skin is hydrated using Blueberry and White Tea Hydrating Mist. The mist is sprayed onto gauze and gently wiped across the face to avoid undue friction. A hydrating or calming mask is then applied, typically Marshmallow Whip Hydrating Mask or Snow Algae Cooling Mask, depending on the patient’s needs. This step restores moisture and helps reduce any post-procedure inflammation. The mask is removed with a warm towel.
​
A facial mist tailored to the patient’s skin type is applied to replenish hydration and support targeted concerns. Vitamin C Reversal Serum is then pressed into the skin. Applying topical vitamin C after physical exfoliation is beneficial because it supports antioxidant protection, brightening, and collagen activity, and many patients are deficient in this nutrient.
​
Aqua Biotic Balancing Moisturizer is applied to hydrate, soothe, and reinforce the skin barrier. Without the obstruction of vellus hair and dead skin, the moisturizer is able to penetrate more effectively. The treatment concludes with the application of Light Day Sunscreen Broad Spectrum to protect the skin, which is particularly important after dermaplaning due to increased sensitivity and barrier compromise.
Chemical Peel Treatment
This treatment is designed to improve skin texture, tone, congestion, and overall clarity through controlled chemical exfoliation. Chemical peels can be performed on the face or back, depending on the patient’s needs. The service begins with a pre-cleanse using Vitamin Veil Cleanser if the patient arrives wearing heavy makeup. This oil-based cleanser effectively removes debris without disrupting the barrier and ensures the skin is prepared for deeper cleansing.
​
A second cleanse is performed using a product appropriate for the type of peel being applied. For example, when performing a salicylic acid peel, a salicylic acid cleansing gel is recommended. This helps prepare the pores, gently breaks down excess sebum, and makes the peel process more comfortable for the patient. The cleansing step ensures that the chemical solution can penetrate evenly.
​
The skin is then degreased using alcohol applied with gauze. This step removes the natural oils that sit on the skin’s surface, allowing the peel to absorb uniformly and perform effectively. The provider uses a fan for patient comfort while the alcohol is applied. The skin must be completely dry before proceeding.
​
Protective measures are taken prior to applying the peel. A thin layer of petroleum jelly is placed around the eyes, lips, nostrils, and along the ears. These areas are more sensitive and are prone to trapping solution, which can lead to excessive penetration. To protect the eyes, damp gauze is placed over them for the duration of the peel.
​
The peel is then applied using a small brush. Application should take no longer than two minutes to ensure even coverage. A ten-minute timer is set, and the patient is monitored continuously for comfort and visible response. A fan is used to help manage stimulation or warmth that can occur during exfoliation. The specific peel used is selected based on the patient’s skin type, concerns, and treatment goals.
​
Neutralization and aftercare follow unless the peel is self-neutralizing. Most traditional chemical peels require the use of a pK Neutralizing Spray after the ten-minute activation period. Water is not used for neutralization. The patient must reach a pain level of zero before the service continues. Certain peels require special handling. Salicylic acid peels typically self-neutralize and should only be manually neutralized if absolutely necessary. MandeliClear Peel should not be neutralized, as it is formulated to remain active on the skin.
​
Moisturizer and SPF are applied once neutralization and comfort have been achieved. Sun protection is essential after any chemical peel due to increased sensitivity and barrier compromise.
Microneedling Treatment
This treatment is designed to improve skin texture, fine lines, scars, and overall tone through controlled micro-injury that stimulates the skin’s natural healing response. Microneedling with the MicroPen EVO promotes collagen and elastin activity and enhances the penetration of topical agents for more comprehensive results. The procedure begins with a cleanse using a Circadia cleanser appropriate for the patient’s skin type. This step ensures that all surface debris, oils, and environmental buildup are removed prior to treatment.
​
A topical 5 percent lidocaine numbing cream is applied to reduce discomfort during the procedure. The numbing agent is allowed to activate fully before removal. Once the skin is cleansed again and the anesthetic has taken effect, a thin layer of hyaluronic acid is applied to the treatment area. Hyaluronic acid acts as the glide medium or “slip” for the MicroPen EVO, allowing the device to move smoothly while maintaining proper needle depth and consistency.
​
The MicroPen EVO is then used to create controlled microchannels across the skin. Needle depth is adjusted based on the patient's skin type, treatment area, and clinical goals. The movement of the device is consistent and even, ensuring uniform coverage and optimal stimulation of the dermal remodeling process. The patient may experience prickling, pressure, or mild warmth throughout the session, all of which are normal responses.
​
Following the microneedling process, an FDA-approved post-procedure cooling mask is applied. This mask is specifically formulated for compromised skin and is safe for use on open microchannels. It provides immediate soothing, reduces post-treatment inflammation, and helps restore hydration. After the mask is removed, the skin may appear flushed or warm, which is expected and typically subsides within several hours.
​
No active products, exfoliants, or occlusive creams are applied after microneedling. The treatment concludes once the cooling mask has been removed, and patients are given strict post-care instructions to support proper healing and reduce the risk of complications. Sun protection is essential following microneedling, and patients are advised to avoid sun exposure and heat until the skin returns to baseline.
LED Light Therapy Add-On
LED light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to support cellular activity and target a range of skin concerns. This modality is commonly used as an adjunct to professional treatments due to its ability to enhance results, reduce inflammation, and promote overall skin health without downtime.
​
During the service, the appropriate wavelength is selected based on the patient’s skin condition and treatment goals. Red light is typically used to support collagen production, improve circulation, and assist with healing and recovery. Blue light is used for acne-prone skin due to its ability to reduce bacteria at the surface level. Combination wavelengths may be used for patients who present with multiple concerns.
​
The LED panel is positioned over the treatment area for a controlled exposure period. The patient remains comfortable throughout the session, as LED therapy does not produce heat or cause discomfort. The light energy is absorbed by the skin and converted into cellular energy, promoting repair processes and improving the skin’s overall function.
​
LED light therapy is safe for all skin types and can be added to facials, microneedling, chemical peels, dermaplaning, and acne-focused treatments. It enhances outcomes by supporting tissue healing, reducing redness, calming irritation, and improving treatment tolerance. This add-on is especially beneficial for patients seeking greater improvement in skin tone, recovery, or inflammatory conditions.
