HydraFacial
Cleanse, extract, hydrate, in under an hour, with nothing to hide afterwards. The maintenance facial.
The treatments / Skin
bright and light and tight.
It’s BLT. Bright and light and tight… So BLT should stand for brighten, light and tighten.
You can do things to exfoliate your skin or get facials, but you can’t make your skin regenerate.
And moisture is what makes skin pretty. And moisture is what we lose in our skin with time and age and hormones and all those great horrible things.
A closer look
Skin.
The details.
I don’t recommend anything I haven’t put in my own face first.
So the skin is the largest organ in the body. People order skin care from all over. People have gotten mercury toxicity from it and died from their skin care.
The PRX peel
The no-peel peel: a TCA peel that works under the skin, tightens and brightens without the burn, the fans or the four days of shedding.
SkinPen® Precision microneedling
Controlled micro-injury that makes skin heal itself, with growth factors driven in while the channels are open.
Dermaplane
The peach fuzz and the dead layer, gone. Makeup goes on like it did in your twenties.
Aquagold
Twenty tiny gold needles that stamp a custom cocktail — hyaluronic acid, a whisper of tox, vitamins — just under the surface. Glass skin for an event, with no downtime. Also the way I put PDRN or PRP in when SkinPen is more than the day allows.
SkinPen with PRP
Your own blood, spun to its growth factors and driven in while the channels are open. The version of microneedling that heals fastest and does the most.
The peels
PRX for no downtime; the Perfect Derma peel when you want real peeling and real change in a week; extractions when the pores need clearing first — they hurt, and they work.
Facials, LED and the scalp
The For You Facial is built for the skin in the chair that day, with extractions and the mask it needs. Omnilux LED after anything, for the calm and the glow. The Hair Infusion is microneedling for the scalp: better circulation to the follicle, stronger hair in a few sessions.
Nitrous
Laughing gas, for anything here that stings. You breathe it yourself and you drive yourself home. Ask for it.
Medical skin care
Obagi, Alastin, EltaMD, PCA, (plated)™, the Omnilux masks, Upneeq — and my own Petro Products line — on my own counter and in the shop. Nothing is sold here that I do not use.
A few questions.
The things people ask.
Does the PRX peel actually peel?
No. It tingles, it is done in minutes, and there is no visible peeling for most women — some flake lightly for a day or two. The old blue peel gave the same acid four days of shedding; this gives the result without it.
So to be able to use 30% TCA and not peel but get those effects is amazing.
What is the downtime for SkinPen?
A day or two of pink. Most women are back to makeup the next morning. It is one of the easiest things you can do for real change in the skin, and summer is not a reason to wait.
And you don’t have to wait. I mean, summer is a great time. It’s just an easier time.
Facial or laser?
Facials maintain; they cannot make skin regenerate. When the problem is texture, spots or looseness, the answer is usually a laser or a peel, with facials in between. You do not have to choose — they work together.
And I don’t think you have to choose… I think you just have to try different modalities to get to the same thing.
What is Aquagold?
A stamp of twenty gold needles, finer than a hair, that delivers a custom mix a fraction of a millimeter into the skin — hyaluronic acid, a little tox, vitamins, PRP or PDRN if you want them. Twenty minutes, no downtime, the glow lasts a few weeks. The one to book before the wedding.
Does LED light really do anything?
The right one does. It is anti-inflammatory, and inflammation is under most of what ages skin: acne, redness, the dullness. Come and have a treatment after anything here and see.
There’s really not many things that don’t benefit from LED light. There are lots of imitations that are useless, but the correct one can make a big difference.
Which skin care should I use?
Fewer things, chosen for your skin, from a place that knows what is in the bottle. Skin is the largest organ in the body; what you put on it matters. Bring what you use now and we will sort it: kept, or retired.
