Facials

Rosacea is a chronic sensitive skin condition involving inflammation, redness and itchiness of the cheeks, nose, chin and forehead. Surface dryness, dehydration and barrier dysfunction will worsen the symptoms of rosacea if not treated. Treatment is via dermatological anti-inflammatory medications and by facial treatments, photo facials.

Consultation is key to assessing the type of therapy.

Acne is a disorder of the skin marked by papules (pimples) closed and open comedones (blackheads) and or cysts. Mechanism is due to increased sebaceous(oil) activity and inflammation(redness) in the skin.
Acne is graded from 1 to 4, higher the number more complex skin condition.

The treatment starts with deep pore cleansing with an enzymes gel to help soften the sebum(oil) and keratinization within the follicular walls (pores)for gentle extractions while controlling the inflammation (redness) pigmentation( brown spots) scarring and dehydration, (lack of water) in the skin’s surface. Subsequently, serums are applied to calm and rehydrate the skin and manage the active oil glands.

The type and number of treatments will vary depending on the type/grade of acne and the age of the patient. Home care is a must to compliment the results of professional treatments.

Lymphatic fluid is a slow moving circulation system of vessels, lymph nodes and ducts. Lymph system delivers nutrients to the cells and carries away cellular waste and toxins. When the lymphatic system is traumatized by any type of surgery and or lifestyle it causes the system to get stagnant, which in turn causes swelling and puffiness in the tissue.

The lymphatic massage helps drain the tissue by a systematic manual massage of excess lymph edema (fluid) in to the drainage system, thus helping accelerate the body’s ability to repair itself and reduce swelling.

Cosmeceutical grade skincare products are formulated with higher active ingredients to help treat skin conditions at surface and deeper layers of the skin.

There are many factors that play a role in how the product penetrates into the skin.

First the active ingredients, all ingredients are not the same where and how they are grown and harvested determines the quality of the ingredients which is the foundation of any skincare line.

Second the molecular weight of the ingredient how big or small the size of the molecule is important. Smaller the size faster and deeper the active ingredient will penetrate into the skin.

Last but not least the delivery system which is the vehicle for how and where an active ingredient will penetrate. Many times one product will have different actives for varying skin conditions and concerns some ingredients work best at superficial levels to protect and hydrate the skin’s surface and others are delivered at deeper layers to target skin concerns and conditions to achieve the best results.

Skin consultation will help determine the best products for your needs and concerns.
