Glow Skin Treatments/Facials

When will I see results?

The day of your treatment, you will get a glimpse into the results you can expect in a few months, but that is only from the actual fluid that is injected and will go away within about 24 hours. Your first time receiving Sculptra, you will typically require three (3) treatments spaced a few weeks apart. You will begin to see results within a few months.

How long do the results last?

Here’s the great news: since it’s your own body’s collagen, your results are forever! But since we lose about 1% of collagen per year, you should be getting one (1) treatment yearly just to keep up with Mother Nature.

In what body areas can I get it?

Just about anywhere! Yay! But the face is most popular…

Frequently Asked Questions

What is PRX-T33?

They are calling PRT-T33 a biovitalizer. I like to call it a “non-peel” peel. They have been using it in Europe for years and it finally just came to the U.S. (thanks, FDA!). PRX-T33 is a terrible name for a lovely treatment that helps restore collagen and elastin, thereby improving skin tone, laxity and the appearance of scars and “crepe-y” skin. And best of all, it doesn’t make you more sensitive to the sun and is safe for all skin types!

What should I expect?

PRX-T33 is massaged into the skin with four (4) pounds of pressure, which actually feels somewhat pleasant. It is massaged into the dermis (past the epidermis), so, unlike peels, it rarely flakes or peels. (Notably, it can be combined with microneedling, in which case, the recovery will be that of the microneedling recovery.)

When will I see results?

It tightens and firms after even the first treatment. Most clients notice “glowing”, healthy skin for the week following treatment. Get ready for the compliments!

How long do the results last?

The results will last longer after each treatment until they become more permanent (usually after the fourth (4th) treatment). Body areas may require a few more treatments.

In what body areas can I get it?

PRX-T33 can be used in any body area you desire an improvement in skin texture and laxity. Clients having their faces treated as well as neck, décolleté, arms and stretch-marked abdomens, to name a few. It can also be used in targeted treatments for depressed scars and stretch marks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are chemical peels?

Chemical peels are a kind of like a chemical exfoliation/abrasion. These peels cause all the old, icky skin cells that cause discoloration, acne, scars and fine lines to slough (or peel) off and regrow new, baby-fresh cells on your face. So it will be as soft, silky and smooth as a baby’s you-know-what. Most spa-goers will require 3-4 treatments.

What should I expect?

You will have an agent applied to your skin at the spa. It will be left on for a few minutes and you may feel slight tingling. Some peels will need to be neutralized with a second agent and some won’t. Like anything, depending on the patient, the strength of the peel, the post-procedure hydration and the phase of the moon, everyone will have different amounts of peeling and some people may not notice any peeling at all.

When will I see results?

This depends on the type of peel. You will usually have peeling and flaking of the skin for about three days to one week, after which time you will begin to see the new, fresh skin begin to regenerate.

How long do the results last?

Results are quite varied and depend upon the patient, how many times you have had it done and what we are treating. You can expect results to last anywhere from two months to two years. The more you baby your skin, the longer your results will last.

In what body areas can I get it?

Face, neck, décolleté, back and buttocks are the most common areas.

When will I see results?

Clients will often notice a “glow” within a few days. But you will want to do three sessions spaced approximately one month apart. You can expect the appearance of new collagen in about three month’s time.

How long do the results last?

Since your body is creating collagen and elastin, the results are permanent. But most people like to do annual or even quarterly treatments to keep that Gilded glow!

In what body areas can I get it?

Face, neck, décolleté.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is microneedling?

Microneedling is something wonderful that sounds terrible. It is the creation of lots of tiny, little needle-sticks (yes, you will be numbed up) all over the face. When the body heals, it brings to the surface lots of cytokines and growth factors, which create more collagen and elastin (the factors of youth!). It can help reduce fine lines, wrinkles, skin laxity, acne, pore size, dark spots and scars. As such, it usually helps to increase happiness! We will add in serum based upon your skin concerns. The micropunctures in the skin also create the perfect opportunity for skincare products to penetrate and exert their effects.

What should I expect?

Your will be numbed up by one of two different methods. You may feel a slight pinch or pressure as the procedure is performed. You will be red with some slight bleeding afterward for 1-3 days, but there is otherwise little downtime.

In what body areas can I get it?

While the face is the most common and popular, it can be done anywhere on the body where collagen needs a boost!

When will I see results?

Patience, my dear. You will not see immediate results; it will take 4-6 weeks. And the best results come after a few treatments. Some people will have some peeling and flaking of the skin (but not usually as much as with a deep chemical peel).

How long do the results last?

Results are quite varied and depend on the patient and how many times you have had it done and with which serums. You can expect results to last anywhere from six weeks to two years.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is it?

Dermaplaning is a method of exfoliation that removes the top layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz). With the removal of dead skin cells, products are more readily absorbed into the skin and new skin cells are allowed to develop. This evens out skin tone, rejuvenates the complexion, and diminishes fine lines and wrinkles!

What should I expect?

The Dermaplaning Facial is dermaplaning plus all Prickly Pear Facial treatments. Some redness is expected following dermaplaning. We recommend you avoid direct sun exposure for a few days post-treatment.

When should I see results?

Clients will notice a smooth complexion and diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles immediately after the treatment. Clients with fair/sensitive skin may experience some tightness and redness, which generally diminishes by the next day.

How long do the results last?

Results are cumulative, meaning your skin will continue to improve after each treatment. The vellus hair will return thinner than before.

In what body areas can I get it?

Face and chin areas are dermaplaned. Eyebrow shaping is also an option. Face, neck, and décolleté are all included in the facial treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is it?

The Dermaplane PRO Facial is a cleansing facial that also includes dermaplaning followed by a custom chemical peel. Dermaplaning removes the dead skin cells allowing the peel to absorb deeply into the skin. This iconic dermaplaning/peel duo works to give you brighter and tighter results that will leave your skin glowing, renewed, and rejuvenated!

What should I expect?

The Dermaplane PRO Facial includes all elements of the Dermaplaning Facial plus a medium-strength chemical peel. Slight tingling is expected with peel application, but should diminish within minutes. We prefer you leave the products on overnight to allow full absorption into the skin. Everyone experiences different results when it comes to peeling and some clients will not peel at all. You must always avoid sun exposure following a chemical peel.

When should I see results?

Most clients will immediately notice a bright and smooth complexion. You may experience an “ugly duckling” phase after a few days with some peeling and/or tightness. Not to worry: this will not last long and you will begin to see the rejuvenation of new skin cells soon!

How long do the results last?

Results vary with skin type, age, and skincare routine. Results are cumulative; you will notice more improvement after each treatment. The more treatments you receive and the better care for your skin, the longer the results will last!
