Facials

Facials are deep skin treatments that hydrate, cleanse and rejuvenate the skin as well as minimize skin blemishes, dry flaky skin, acne scars, acne breakouts and soften wrinkles.

A facial involves a cleansing procedure, a massage, a steam and a face mask. Through this relaxing process, the dead outer layer of skin cells are removed, blood circulation is stimulated, lymphatic drainage is aided, and wrinkles are delayed.  Both blackheads and whiteheads are softened so they can be easily extracted. Lastly, a face mask tightens and tones the skin. The result is healthy luminous skin that was hiding just below the surface.

Benefits of Facials include:

  • Deep Cleansing – Because facials remove blackheads and whiteheads, your skin is less likely to break out due to clogged pores. With each facial, you should see clearer skin.
  • Circulation Boosting – The steaming process boosts blood circulation.
  • Toxin Elimination – The massage portion of the facial relaxes soothes and encourages lymph drainage, thus improving the natural ability of the skin to rid itself of toxins.
  • Collagen Stimulation – The massage also stimulates the body’s secretion of collagen and elastin to keep skin firm and elastic.

Chemical Peels

Peel Me Away…In our youth, skin works effectively and skin cells turn over and renew themselves naturally every 21 to 28 days. As we age, skin cell turnover slows down to renew every 40 days, which results in dull, tired looking skin. Chemical exfoliation in the form of a glycolic peel dissolves dead, flaky skin cells, promotes collagen production, and builds elasticity. These peels are great in that if skin is continually exfoliated, it’s forced to create new cells – at a rate it did before the 28 day cycle started to slow down. Your skin will be replaced by a new fresh layer and make your skin appear younger and tighter. Aestheticians at the Museum Spa and Laser Center will choose a peel that is right for your individual skin and needs. This is a wonderful treatment to address fine wrinkles, dryness, hyper-pigmentation and acne.

Diamond Microdermabrasion – 45 minutes – $100

When the diamond microdermabrasion tip makes contact with the skin it abrades against the top layer gently removing the dead skin cells. The microdermabrasion machine then vacuums the loose dead skin cells away from the face. Diamond and crystal microdermabrasion peel procedures are exactly the same in that the treatment provider passes the wand over each area of your skin to expose the healthier luminous skin beneath; your aesthetician will determine which procedure is best for your skin type.  A light enzyme peel, masque and hand treatment is included.

Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning helps to “refinish” the skin’s top layers through a method of controlled surgical scraping. The treatment removes the dead cellular layer on the skin, resulting in a smoother, brighter appearance.

The face is cleansed and a sterile dermaplaning blade is prepared. The blade will scrape off the dead skin, as well as the vellus hair (peach fuzz). Once the aesthetician has finished dermaplaning, a carbon dioxide ball is gently swiped across the skin. This provides a cooling effect, and will reduce any swelling that may have occurred. A chemical peel is applied that will impart upon the skin a nice glow, as well as provide skin hydration.

Unlike most exfoliating peel procedures, Dermaplaning uses no chemicals. However, the use of alpha hydroxyl acids may also be used for a deeper exfoliation. This treatment is known as a Micropeel. At only 45 minutes per session, it can be done during a “lunch break”.

The more often you do it, the better your skin will look, smooth skin is immediately apparent.  There is no downtime with this treatment. One will notice that his/her skin feels softer, looks brighter, and absorbs product faster. Women will notice that makeup is applied more evenly.
