Many people love the way a skin treatment makes them feel, but many people also don’t realize that the hour spent in the treatment room is far more beneficial to your skin’s health than you thought. Our mission at The Spa is to provide an atmosphere that merges treatment and indulgence. We will make you feel your most relaxed all while giving you a great treatment benefit that will help you incorporate wellness into your everyday life.
Step 1: Cleanse Routine
Our cleansing step is a 2 part routine, beginning with Dermalogica’s unqiue PreCleanse that attracts all surface debris and excess sebum for a thorough first cleanse that creates an ideal palette for your 2nd cleanse which uses one of our many cleanser options that is suited exactly for your skin. By cleansing twice, we are ensuring that the first cleanse is removing all dirt and debris and the 2nd cleanse is cleansing the skin, driving potent ingredients to the source to treat your skin concerns and prep your skin for the rest of our treatment.
Step 2: Exfoliate
Our exfoliation uses a mild chemical based professional exfoliant that is suited for your skin’s needs. Using a chemical based exfoliant yields professional results that cannot be achieved at home and we prefer it because it works in a more progressive way. Rather than just removing dulling skin cells with force, chemical based exfoliation encourages healthy cell renewal and improves your skin’s natural exfoliation process. By doing so, you will immediately notice brighter, smoother and healthier looking skin. Exfoliation is the most important step in our skin treatments not just because it improves the appearance of your skin but because it allows our remaining professional treatment products to penetrate deeper, giving you a more personalized and results driven treatment.
Step 3: Massage
The massage aspect of a skin treatment is by far the most enjoyed, however our massage routine does more than just promote a deep sense of relaxation. Using potent additives to continue to treat the skin, our routine begins at the décolleté to release any tension in the upper chest muscles and neck; these areas are where most people harbor their stress and muscles tend to be overworked and tight. Despite our lifestyle, facial muscles never get a break and this can cause a lot of tension, especially around the mouth and cheekbones. Many people notice the uncomfort but cannot define the source. Our facial massage incorporates a variety of modalities and pressure to help stimulate blood flow in the muscles as well as the skin to help alleviate pressure and tension in the facial muscles. By stimulating blood flow to the skin, you are encouraging the flow of healing lymph and promoting cell rejuvenation which helps tone and revitalize dull skin. Massage also encourages the release of toxins which can contribute to muscle tension and stress. Many sinus sufferers benefit from our pressure point facial massage because it helps release sinus pressure and congestion. The additives we use also contain wonderful aromatherapy benefits which helps bring the mind into balance and awaken the senses. Combining all of these aspects and your facial massage becomes a crucial part of your skin treatment. Skin is rejuvenated and toned, muscle tension is released and your mind is brought back into harmony with your body.
Step 4: Masque
Many times, treatment masques get overlooked during home care regimes. However, the masque portion of a routine is crucial. We have a variety of different professional masques to suit any skin concern or condition and our routine is a 2 part system, beginning with the direct application of a highly concentrated serum that is penetrated into the skin by the masque, creating an intense treatment to help fight a multitude of concerns. All of our treatment masques help hydrate and refresh the skin as well as bring the skin back to its ideal pH and temperature. Most importantly, our masque system helps deliver high quality professional ingredients that will maintain active in your skin and continue to work long after you’ve left the treatment room, helping to create success in your skin health goals. During the masque, a wonderful hand and arm massage is performed, releasing more tension and stress.
Step 5: Treat, Tone and Protect
Every skin treatment ends with this step, ensuring that when you leave the room your skin feels nourished, revitalized and healthy. Based on your skin analysis and treatment, we will finalize with the application of result focused treatment products that will work in conjunction with the treatment that was just provided to continue to give you powerful results. We never forget to treat the eye and lip area and will end the treatment with a skin specific moisturizer and SPF protection. You will be amazed at the way your skin looks and feels!
