 Prepare your skin before the summer heat arrives or before that special occasion — especially for you brides — with a three treatment package. Receive two corrective facials customized to your skin type and either an IPL photo facial, progressive peel or dermaplane treatment.
When we are born, our skin is new and hasn't been subjected to the sun and pollutants. When you take a picture of a baby, their skin reflects the light and they look beautiful and glowing. As we get older and are subjected to the sun and pollutants, we stop reflecting and absorbing light — that is what gives us that dull and grayish looking skin. When we take pictures, we no longer get that bright glow.
Start today turning the clock back by getting rid of build up, dead skin cells and hyperpigmentation.
Get your skin drinking more nutrients and bring that glow back!

IPL — Scientifically proven "pulsed light" technology to rejuvenate the skin. Decreasing redness, brown spots and fine lines while shrinking pores. Also, treats medical conditions such as rosaceae, telangiectasias and melasma. IPL can be applied to any part of the body. (learn more >)
LightSheer (Laser Hair Removal) — LightSheer treatments are safe, non-evasive, long-term solutions to unwanted hair on all body parts and any skin type. Say "goodbye" to messy creams and temporary solutions! In an hour or less, you will begin to have smoother, sleeker skin. You can even resume your regular activities immediately following treatment. It's that easy! (learn more >)
Microdermabrasion — The revolutionary way to re-texturize your skin, add luminosity and clear out those pores. Microdermabrasion introduces small "crystals" delivered under pressure to slough off dead cells and stimulate new cell growth.
 Peels — This treatment is an excellent deep cleanser. It dissolves oil by penetrating and cleaning out clogged pores. It diminishes blackheads and pimples. It also prevents new skin blemishes from forming. The skin will immediately feel smoother, softer, and appear more evenly pigmented.
Restylane — Restylane is made in Sweden, a nation known for health, nature and beauty. Since 1996, more than a million people have been successfully treated in more than 60 countries worldwide. It is a safe and natural cosmetic dermal filler that restores volume and fullness to the skin wrinkles and folds. Restylane is also different than traditional collagen because it delivers a longer-lasting effect with virtually no risk of animal-based disease transmission or allergic reaction.
Dermaplane — Dermaplaning is a completely pain free, non-evasive treatment. After a deep cleanse a tool called a Dermatome is used to gently remove the dead skin cell layer on the entire face, even under the eyes, revealing the fresh skin underneath, and removing all of the "peach fuzz" and other unwanted hair — making your skin as smooth as glass with no downtime!

How does it work?
Selective Photothermolysis
Selectively delivering light (photo) that converts to heat (thermo), which results in the destruction (lysis) of our target, which is the pigment in the hair.

How many treatments are needed?
Average of 4-6 treatments due to the hair growth cycle. Hair grows in the following 3 stages.
We can only permanently disable the hair follicle when the hair is actively growing since that is the only time which the hair follicle is actually in contact with the bulb, which is the source of hair growth.

| What should I expect from treatment to treatment?

Treatment 1
All hair falls out – 80% will return over 6-10 weeks.
Treatment 2
All hair falls out – 60% will return after 6-10 weeks.
Treatment 3
All hair falls out – 40% will return after 6-10 weeks

What is IPL?
IPL = Intense Pulsed Light
Visible and near infra-red light, 500-1200 nm
- Efficacious
- Flexible
- Safe
How IPL Works
Selective Photothermolysis
- Selective
Specially selected wavelengths of light penetrate the skin, reaching the target (hemoglobin, melanin) with minimal epidermal/dermal absorption
- Photothermo
The light is converted to heat in the target
- Lysis
Heat coagulates the proteins in the target and is conducted to the cells around, causing mechanical damage; clearance by immune system cells
- Specially selected wavelengths of light penetrate the skin
- Target (hemoglobin, melanin) absorbs the light with minimal epidermal/dermal absorption
- Light is converted to heat, destroying the vessel or lesion
- Damaged tissue is removed by the body
What IPL Can Do
Type I Skin Treatments Using Photorejuvenation
- Erythema/Flushing
- Rosacea symptoms
- Telangiectasia
- Hyperpigmentation
- Melasma
- Photoaging
Pigmentary Conditions
Why treat pigmentary conditions?
- 75% of the US population between the ages of 35 and 65 have some type of treatable pigmented lesion.

| IPL vs. Laser |
|
|
|
|
|
| Laser |
|
IPL |
- Single wavelength targets single peak of melanin and hemoglobin's absorption spectra to destroy target
- Wavelength cannot be adjusted for individualized treatment
|
|
- Multiple wavelengths target multiple peaks of melanin and hemoglobin's absorption spectra to destroy target
- Wavelengths can be optimized to individuals' skin types and conditions, using filters
- Minimal ocular hazard
- No down-time, nonablative procedure with minimal side-effects
