The constant pursuit of vibrant, younger looking skin ... Does it ever end? Is there any hope?

The answers may be closer than you think – even as close as your own face.

Your esthetician can help uncover your own younger skin through careful exfoliation treatments. Our skin generates a new layer every 2-4 weeks. As we age or through sun damage this process slows down. As a result our skin becomes dull, lifeless, even grey looking. Fine lines, hyperpigmentation, pore size, and scarring from acne can result.

However, through numerous techniques of exfoliation your esthetician can improve the skin’s complexion by sloughing off the old layers and bringing the fresh layer up to the surface. The results can be amazing for acne, acne scarring, and hyperpigmentation. It can immediately improve the color, tone, and texture of your skin while minimizing dry fine lines as well as stimulate collagen and elastin production.

Over exfoliation can age the skin! How does one know when it is too much? Each person’s skin should be analyzed by their esthetician and a goal needs to be set. Once the result is achieved, a maintenance routine should be put in place.
