Masks, steam baths, and facial massage may be incorporated into our acne treatments. Products may be used to reduce surface skin, remove dead cells, soothe, or hydrate. We can also recommend products for at-home use, such as cleansers and moisturizers that won’t aggravate your acne. Extractions can also be done when little or no inflammation is present.

truSculpt® 3D from Cutera is a non-surgical procedure that targets areas resistant to diet and exercise such as cellulite. It is ideal for patients that live a healthy, active lifestyle but still struggle to tone particular areas.
The treatment delivers doses of therapeutic heat to the area, showing firming and smoothing over time. Typically two-four treatments over a time period of four to six weeks is recommended for optimal results.
Discomfort is uncommon during treatment and clients can return to normal activity immediately following the procedure.
Extraction services are available to cleanse compacted or clogged pores, usually as part of a facial.
Treatment begins with a complete facial cleansing. Then a specially formulated liquid or cream is applied with steam to soften the skin, and make extraction easier. After this, gentle pressure will be applied to the effected pores.
Once the extractions have been completed, antiseptic or antibacterial products are applied to the skin to return it to its normal pH levels and decrease the odds of further breakouts.
Because home extractions can spread bacteria or damage pores, it is best to let your esthetician perform the procedure, and to avoid picking or popping pores on your own.

Because chemical peels can increase skin sensitivity to sunlight, you are encouraged to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher when venturing outdoors after a procedure.

This serves as an illusion, making your eyes truly pop and creating what appears to be darker, more dense lashes.

This is a 2 step process that first consists of a limelight IPL photofacial and secondly the laser genesis treatment:
Limelight is an IPL fotofacial technique that works to reduce redness, the appearance of small veins, sun damage, and brown spots. This treatment works by using intense pulses of light to cause collagen and blood vessels under the skin to constrict.
Limelight is beneficial in treating areas of the face and neck. Each treatment time varies, but should take less than one hour. Patients usually require up to 3 treatments to reach desired results.
You may experience mild pinching or stinging sensations during treatment, but this usually does not require anesthesia.
The Laser Genesis treatment works to improve wrinkles and skin texture while reducing large pores and redness by utilizing photo technology to heat the upper dermis to stimulate collagen and dilate capillaries. You will find it a relaxing and therapeutic experience.
Because the results of Laser Genesis are subtle, you may need 4 to 6 treatments to achieve desired results. Most patients report experiencing no side effects, while some have complained of redness that disappears within hours of treatment.
