A silicone cup will be used for cupping therapy, to help promote blood flow and to help detoxify your body of lactic acid, and a body sculpting tool will be used on problem areas.

WHAT IS BODY LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE MASSAGE ?

The Lymphatic Drainage Massage is an excellent addition to your wellness routine, whether you’re looking to detoxify your body, prepare for, or recover from a surgical procedure. This specialized massage targets your lymphatic system—a sophisticated network of vessels and nodes that plays a crucial role in filtering debris and purifying lymph fluid before it re-enters your circulatory system.

During the lymphatic massage, the therapist uses a series of gentle, rhythmic movements, including gliding, stretching, and light pressure. These techniques are designed to encourage the natural flow of lymph fluid, helping to eliminate toxins, reduce swelling, and enhance overall fluid balance. The massage is known for its soothing, light touch, making it a relaxing experience that effectively supports detoxification.

By stimulating the lymphatic system, the massage can help alleviate congestion, improve immune function, and enhance your body’s ability to remove waste products. It is particularly beneficial for those with conditions such as fluid retention, chronic fatigue, or inflammation, and can be a supportive therapy for post-surgical recovery.

Incorporating the Lymphatic Drainage Massage into your routine not only aids in detoxification but also promotes a profound sense of relaxation and well-being. Whether you use it as a monthly treatment or as part of your pre- or post-surgery care plan, it offers a gentle yet effective way to support your body’s natural healing processes and overall health.

WHAT IS BROW LAMINATION AND TINT

Brow lamination is a new, innovative beauty treatment that has continued to grow in popularity, recreating the trending look of thick, bushy brows. Brow lamination is great for those who love a ‘brushed-up’ look but can’t seem to tame their brow hair due to it being too straight or fine.

WHAT DOES THE BROW LAMINATION PROCESS INVOLVE?

Consultation: Your brow expert will perform a full consultation with you, with brow mapping to discover your perfect brow style. 

Step one: After cleansing the brows, your tech will place brows in an upward position using Brow Fix to ensure all Brow Lamination solutions target the brow from the root to the tip. This solution holds the brows in place throughout the treatment.

Step two: Brow Style is applied to the brows. This cream creates a chemical process that breaks down the bonds in each hair, allowing them to be manipulated into a new shape. Solution is left on the brows for a predetermined time depending on the condition of the hair.

Step three: Brow Set is applied the brows. This solution sets the hair in its new position. Solution is left on the brows for a predetermined time depending on the condition of the hair.

Step four: Optional Tinting. Brows can be tinted to add colour to the brows and to enhance the results of the treatment. 

Step five: All traces of the products above are removed from the brows, then Brow Nourish (a specially developed brow serum with keratin) is applied to the brows to hydrate and condition the hair.

Step six: The brows are brushed into their desired position – this position is adjustable depending on the look you would like to achieve. Brows can be brushed up or brushed into a more natural shape. 

IS BROW LAMINATION WORTH IT?  

Brow lamination is a safe treatment which can give you naturally fuller looking eyebrows after just one treatment. It’s a more affordable option compared to other brow treatments such as Microblading and has immediate results that last. It’s a treatment to consider if you’d like a new look that can be easily maintained.

Not only this, but it’s currently very on trend – so now’s the right time to get your brows laminated if you wanted to give this new look a try!

Brow Lamination Aftercare

While brow lamination and aftercare are pretty straightforward, there are a few things to remember post-treatment so you can have the best results.

No Water or Sweating

For 24 hours post brow lamination, stay away from water. That means no shower, no washing your face. So skip the workout that day and avoid any activity where you’ll get hot and sweaty. You must give the chemicals time to set on your hair for the process to work properly.

No Rubbing

Pretty self-explanatory but basically, leave your brow area alone for 24 hours after your lamination process. Just let them work their magic and keep your fingers off your face!

No Makeup On the Brows

While you can undoubtedly wear makeup on your face, avoid any product on your brows. This is to prevent that whole rubbing thing and the need to wash your face. I personally just don’t wear makeup for that entire 24-hour period to set myself up for success.

Brush Your Brows

Once you’ve hit the 24-hour mark, you are good to go with your “normal” routine of showering and makeup. But remember that your brows need to be maintained. They don’t just stay up for 8 weeks, you have to brush them to keep the fluff. Invest in a few CLEAN spoolies to brush them up in the morning when you wake up and keep them with you throughout the day.

If You Get Your Brows Tined…

Let me stress, that if you get a tint on your brows afterward…I’d avoid doing anything in public for that 24-hour holding period. Until you can wash your face, the semi-permanent hair color can be super dark! It’s a bit intense as you can see from the “Final Results”. But once you can wash your face you’ll be good to go!

WHAT IS EYELASH LIFT AND COLOR

One way to think of a lash lift is like a perm for your eyelashes. Unlike a lash extension, a lash lift simply alters the shape and color of your natural lashes. “In most people, lashes grow out, rather than up. However, upward growing lashes will give a more cosmetically pleasing appearance,”

The treatment involves “boosting and lifting each individual lash, before tinting them for thicker, darker, longer looking lashes,”.

What happens during a lash lift?

When you walk into your first lash lift, you can expect to lie down on a bed (like the kind you’d get a wax on). But, unlike a wax, you won’t actually be able to see anything, or use your eyes for the duration of your appointment. It’s not painful, but it can be uncomfortable. Your eyes may tear a bit, but fortunately that won’t negatively impact the process.

The appointment itself boils down to four key steps:

  1. First, silicone pads are placed on the (closed) eyelids. Your lashes are then lifted and a serum is applied to them. “This first serum is used to break down the protein in the lashes. The lashes are molded onto the shield, so it breaks down the lash to take shape,”.
  2. Next, a keratin-infused fixing serum is applied, which “begins the process of restoring the lashes and conditioning them.” The tint is applied and the silicone pads are removed.
  3. Then, a coat of pure keratin is applied to the lashes, which provides an extra layer of protein to strengthen and condition.
  4. Finally, a protein treatment is applied to the lash lift. “This is a thick coat of protein that lasts on the lashes for up to four weeks, giving extra length and thickness to the lash,”

How do you maintain a lash lift?

The first 48 hours after a lash lift are the most crucial to maintaining those gorgeous results, and it’s required that you avoid water (and mascara), heavy exercising (or anything that would make you sweat a lot), or showering—at least in any way that will expose your lashes to the water.

After 48 hours, brush the lashes out every morning and evening before applying a lash serum, like coconut or castor oil, which is probably already in your pantry.

Will a lash lift damage my lashes?

Lash lifts will not damage your lashes if done properly. Getting your lashes lifted usually motivates you to grow longer lashes and take better care of them naturally.

WHAT IS DERMAPLANING AND EXTRACTION

Dermaplaning is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure for your skin. It uses a special instrument to shave away the uppermost layers of your skin.

Dermaplaning can help reduce the appearance of acne scars or other skin imperfections by revealing newer, undamaged skin. It can make your skin look younger; though, it doesn’t stop the aging process. Some people also get dermaplaning for hair removal. This is only a temporary fix because your hair will grow back.

Most people get the procedure on their face, but you can do it anywhere on your body.

Dermaplaning vs. dermabrasion vs. microdermabrasion: What’s the difference?

Dermaplaning, dermabrasion and microdermabrasion are all skin resurfacing procedures. Each procedure uses different tools and takes off different amounts of skin. Dermaplaning uses a scalpel (knife) or razor to remove skin. Dermabrasion is a surgical procedure. Microdermabrasion is a nonsurgical procedure that uses an exfoliating blade to sand away your skin to smooth it and remove the appearance of scars.

Who gets dermaplaning?

You may consider dermaplaning if you have skin concerns such as:

  • Acne scars.
  • Actinic keratosis (scaly skin patches that can lead to skin cancer).
  • Dull or dry skin.
  • Peach fuzz (light, soft hair on your face).
  • Skin damaged by sun exposure.
  • Fine lines (wrinkles).

Who shouldn’t have dermaplaning?

Some people with preexisting skin concerns shouldn’t have dermaplaning. Before getting this procedure, talk to your Beautician if you have:

  • An active case of acne.
  • Cold sore outbreaks.
  • Eczema.
  • Moles, freckles, skin tags or other skin growths.
  • Psoriasis.
  • Skin burns, such as those from radiation therapy.
  • Skin rashes (contact dermatitis).

What are the risks of dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is generally considered a safe cosmetic procedure. However, it does carry the following risks:

  • Infection.
  • Scarring such as keloid or hypertrophic (raised) scars.
  • Skin discoloration (skin that turns lighter or darker than the surrounding skin).

EXTRACTION

Facial skin extractions play a crucial role in maintaining healthy, clear skin. Our skin is constantly exposed to various pollutants, bacteria, and dead skin cells. Over time, these impurities can accumulate and clog our pores, leading to the formation of blackheads, whiteheads, and other blemishes.

Extractions help to remove these blockages, allowing the skin to breathe and preventing further breakouts. By clearing out the pores, extractions promote a smoother complexion and improve the effectiveness of other skincare products.

How Facial Extractions Work

Facial extractions involve the manual removal of impurities from the skin, such as blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples. There are several methods of extractions, each with its own benefits and considerations. Let’s take a closer look at the most common techniques:

  1. Manual Extractions: This method involves using specialized tools, such as comedone extractors, to gently press and release the contents of clogged pores. It requires precision and a delicate touch to avoid damaging the skin.
  2. Chemical Extractions: Chemical peels or exfoliants can be used to dissolve the debris and dead skin cells that clog the pores. These products contain ingredients such as alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs) that promote exfoliation and skin renewal.
  3. Vacuum Extractions: This technique utilizes a suction device to remove impurities from the skin. The vacuum creates a gentle pressure that dislodges the debris, leaving the pores clear.

Each method has its pros and cons, and the choice depends on factors such as skin type, severity of the blemishes, and personal preference. It’s essential to consult with a skincare professional or dermatologist to determine the most suitable extraction method for your skin.

Aftercare tips for facial skin extractions

After undergoing facial extractions, it’s crucial to provide proper care to your skin to minimize any potential side effects and promote healing. Here are some aftercare tips to follow:

  1. Avoid Touching Your Face: Resist the temptation to touch or pick at the extracted areas. This can introduce bacteria and increase the risk of infection or scarring.
  2. Cleanse and Moisturize: Use a gentle cleanser to cleanse your skin and remove any residual debris. Follow up with a lightweight moisturizer to hydrate and nourish the skin.
  3. Protect Your Skin: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. This step is crucial as your skin may be more sensitive after extractions.

By following these aftercare tips, you can help your skin recover and maintain the benefits of the extraction procedure. Now, let’s explore the common types of skin blemishes that can be treated with extractions.

Common types of skin blemishes that can be treated with extractions

Facial extractions are particularly effective in treating various types of skin blemishes. Here are some common issues that can be addressed through extractions:

  1. Blackheads: These small, dark spots occur when oil and dead skin cells clog the pores and oxidize. Manual extractions or chemical exfoliants can effectively remove blackheads and prevent their recurrence.
  2. Whiteheads: Whiteheads, also known as closed comedones, are small, flesh-colored bumps that occur when a pore is clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Manual extractions can gently remove whiteheads without causing damage to the surrounding skin.
  3. Pimples: Pimples, or acne lesions, are inflamed and infected pores. While extractions can help remove the contents of a pimple, it’s important to exercise caution to prevent further inflammation or scarring.
  4. Milia: Milia are small, white, hard bumps that often occur around the eyes or on the cheeks. These are caused by trapped keratin under the skin’s surface. Manual extractions can effectively remove milia, but it’s important to have a professional perform this procedure to avoid injury to the delicate eye area.

By understanding the specific types of blemishes that can be treated with extractions, you can target your skincare routine more effectively and achieve clearer, healthier skin.

Potential risks and precautions of facial skin extractions

While facial extractions can be highly effective in treating skin blemishes, it’s important to be aware of the potential risks and take necessary precautions. Here are some considerations to keep in mind:

  1. Skin Sensitivity: Individuals with sensitive skin may be more prone to irritation and redness after extractions. It’s important to communicate any concerns or sensitivities to your skincare professional.
  2. Infection: If the extraction tools or the skin are not properly sanitized, there is a risk of introducing bacteria and causing infection. Ensure that all tools are clean and sterile before performing extractions.
  3. Scarring: Excessive force or improper technique during extractions can lead to scarring or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It’s crucial to exercise caution and seek professional help if you’re unsure of the proper technique.
  4. Post-Extraction Breakouts: In some cases, extractions can cause a temporary increase in breakouts as the skin adjusts. This is known as purging and usually subsides within a few days. However, if the breakouts persist or worsen, it’s advisable to consult with a skincare professional.

By understanding and mitigating these potential risks, you can ensure a safe and effective extraction procedure. Now, let’s address some frequently asked questions about facial skin extractions.

Frequently asked questions about facial skin extractions

  1. Are facial extractions painful?
    Facial extractions can cause mild discomfort, especially in sensitive areas. However, a skilled professional will minimize any pain or discomfort during the procedure.
  2. How often should I get facial extractions?
    The frequency of facial extractions depends on your skin type and specific concerns. Generally, it’s recommended to have extractions performed by a professional every 4-6 weeks.
  3. Can I perform extractions at home?
    While it’s possible to perform extractions at home, it’s advisable to seek professional help, especially if you’re unsure of the proper technique or have sensitive skin.
  4. Can extractions help with acne scars?
    Facial extractions primarily target active blemishes and do not directly treat acne scars. However, by minimizing breakouts and promoting skin renewal, extractions can indirectly improve the appearance of acne scars over time.
  5. Can extractions be done on all skin types?
    Extractions can be performed on most skin types, but it’s important to consider individual factors such as skin sensitivity and any underlying skin conditions. Consulting with a skincare professional is crucial to determine the suitability of extractions for your skin.

WHAT IS LED LIGHT THERAPY

LED (light-emitting diode) light therapy treats various skin conditions and concerns, such as acne, fine lines and psoriasis. It comes in different types, including red light LED therapy and blue light LED therapy, which are sometimes used in combination.

What is LED light therapy?

LED (light-emitting diode) light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that enters the skin’s layers to improve the skin.

In the 1990s, NASA began studying LED’s effects in promoting wound healing in astronauts by helping cells and tissues grow.

Today, dermatologists and estheticians commonly use LED light therapy to treat a range of skin issues. Skin specialists often use LED light therapy together with other treatments, such as creams, ointments and facials, to give you the best results.

You can also buy an array of at-home devices that use LED light therapy, including LED masks.

Are there different kinds of LED light therapy?

LED light therapy uses various wavelengths that correspond to different visible colors. Each color penetrates the skin at different depths.

  • Blue light affects the uppermost layer of your skin.
  • Yellow light penetrates deeper.
  • Red light travels further into your skin.
  • Near-infrared light penetrates deepest.

Different LED colors do different things. For example, experts believe:

  • Red LED light therapy may reduce inflammation and stimulate the production of collagen, a protein responsible for younger-looking skin that diminishes with age.
  • Blue LED light therapy may destroy acne-causing bacteria (P. acnes).

During treatment, skin specialists may use a combination of lights to treat your specific issue. At-home devices may also combine colors.

Does LED light therapy actually work?

Research suggests that LED light therapy can help reduce and improve some skin conditions and issues. To see improvement in your skin, though, you need to have regular treatments.

In-office LED light therapy uses more powerful strengths than at-home devices, which makes it more effective. With LED masks and other portable devices, you likely won’t see dramatic anti-aging or acne-reducing results. You might experience subtle improvements in your skin’s appearance, though.

How long does it take for LED light therapy to work?

To see significant benefits, you typically need to have a series of in-office treatments. You may need a treatment each week for about a month. Then you might need maintenance treatments every month or every few months.

Some at-home devices may also require a substantial time commitment. You might need to use your device twice a day for 30 to 60 minutes for four to five weeks. Other devices take just a few minutes a day.

What happens during in-office LED light therapy?

After putting on your goggles, lie on your back as your healthcare provider places the LED light therapy device above your face. Lie still during the entire treatment as the device works. The treatment usually lasts about 20 minutes.

LED light therapy is a non-invasive, painless treatment. During treatment, you might feel some warmth but no discomfort.

What does LED light therapy do?

LED light therapy helps treat a variety of skin concerns and conditions, including:

  • Eczema.
  • Hair loss.
  • Mild to moderate acne.
  • Psoriasis.
  • Rough, scaly, precancerous spots on the skin (actinic keratosis).
  • Rosacea.
  • Sun damage.
  • Wounds.
  • Wrinkles.

WHAT IS RF (Radio Frequency)

Radio frequency (RF) skin tightening is a nonsurgical skin treatment to firm sagging skin. The procedure can give you a more youthful appearance.

How does radio frequency skin tightening work?

Radio frequency devices use safe levels of low-frequency electromagnetic waves to generate heat. This heat penetrates deep into your skin’s layers. There, it stimulates new skin cell production (regeneration). The treatment also stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. These proteins give skin cells more strength and flexibility. As a result, sagging skin regains its firm shape and feel which can smooth wrinkles, tighten the skin and delay skin aging.

How long does radio frequency skin tightening take to work?

It takes time for your skin to produce new skin cells, collagen and elastin. You should see changes to your skin tone and appearance within two to six months. To get the desired results, your provider may recommend another treatment. Some people need two to six treatments.

Risks / Benefits

What are the benefits of radio frequency skin tightening?

Radio frequency skin tightening can give you the results of a facelift (rhytidectomy) without the need for surgery. Other benefits include:

  • Gradual, natural-looking skin changes.
  • Fast, relatively painless procedure.
  • Less expensive and invasive than cosmetic surgeries.
  • No peeling skin or scarring.
  • Speedy recovery with no missed work or activities.

What are the risks of radio frequency skin tightening?

Radio frequency skin tightening is a relatively safe procedure. You may have some mild redness and swelling (edema) after the procedure. These side effects should go away within 24 hours.

In rare instances, extreme heat from radio frequency treatments can cause burns

Who gets radio frequency (RF) skin tightening?

People who don’t want the extra expense, pain or recovery time of cosmetic surgeries may choose radio frequency skin tightening. The procedure:

  • Improves skin tone, texture and firmness.
  • Minimizes the appearance of sun damage.
  • Provides a more youthful appearance.
  • Reduces the effects of aging skin like wrinkles, fine lines and saggy skin.

What does radio frequency (RF) skin tightening treat?

Healthcare providers use radio frequency skin tightening treatments for:

  • Body contouring.
  • Face, neck, arms and hands.
  • Vaginal rejuvenation.

WHAT IS A HYDRAFACIAL? HOW IT WORKS AND BENEFITS

It’s like a spa day for your face, where your pores get to party with a vacuum cleaner, a hydrating superhero, and a bunch of antioxidant buddies. It’s skincare with a side of sass and a dollop of hydration, leaving your skin feeling fresher than a cucumber wearing a face mask at a day spa. The world of beauty treatment is ever-evolving, and smooth, bright, and youthful skin is something all desire. Gone are the days when one would spend fortunes on facial creams, serums, or essences to get beautiful and flawless skin. Some adapt a regular skincare routine or go for monthly chemical peels and facials to make their skin appear perfect and beautiful. But such common facial treatments can burn your pocket, and visiting the spa can be taxation in your busy schedule.

Each session of HydraFacial involves four steps, each step designed to perform specific action using the patented device that resembles a large rolling cart with hoses and a wand with detachable heads. Unlike the traditional skin treatments, whose results vary on the skin’s condition, the HydraFacial provides even and consistent results on all skin types.

The HydraFacial treatment can last between 30_60 minutes, and the beautician would perform the following steps:

Exfoliation and Cleansing

The first step of HydraFacial is cleaning the facial skin and exfoliating the dead cells. The aesthetician uses the patented HydraFacial wand to gently clean and exfoliates the facial skin to remove the dirt and sebum while opening the skin pores. The normal facewash cannot remove the dirt and sebum that accumulates around the skin pores causing blackheads.

Chemical Peel

During the second step, your beautician would change the tip of the wand of the patented device to deliver a chemical peel. The purpose of the chemical peel is to loosen the debris accumulated deep inside the skin pores. Unlike other chemical peels that leave your skin with redness and irritations, the HydraFacial chemical peel is delicate and made from a mixture of glycolic acid and salicylic, both being non-toxic.

Extraction

The third step of HydraFacial is extracting the deep pore debris, dead skin cells, and blackheads for the skin pores. The aesthetician uses a strong yet painless vortex vacuum suction with the HydraFacial device.

Hydrating Serum

Dentists in Petaluma also perform HydraFacial, and the last step involves the application of a soothing hydrating and antioxidative serum on the facial skin that also contains peptides and nutrients. The final step is done to make the skin detoxify and feel rejuvenated.

Once the four basic steps of HydraFacial are completed, the aesthetician can provide additional procedures as fills or light therapy to augment the HydraFacial. The process is very gentle to let you add up more treatments in your visit to the beautician.

What Should You Expect from a HydraFacial?

One of the most significant advantages of HydraFacial is that the treatment has zero downtime. You may walk out of the spa instantly after undergoing HydraFacial feeling fresh and cleansed. HydraFacial can get rid of wrinkles and remove dead skins.

To start with, you would need about 2 to 4 HydraFacial in a month for 3 months. The frequency reduces to one HydraFacial per month once you have established better facial skin health. HydraFacial works evenly on all skin types and provides consistent results. Unlike traditional facial spas, HydraFacial provides instant results, and you can experience the bright results immediately.

The Hydrafacial is a treatment that is suitable for all skin tones and requires no downtime. “Many patients report seeing visible skin refinement and an even, radiant skin tone after just one treatment,”

WHAT IS LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE TREATMENT AND BENEFITS

Lymphatic drainage is not only good for your overall health, but it can also benefit your skin too. Lymphatic therapy uses facial massage with facial tools or machines to make your face less puffy. It improves blood circulation, giving skin a healthy, radiant glow.

The treatment drains lymphatic fluid on the face and body. The lymphatic fluid contains waste and toxins that can make your skin look dull and puffy. The massage detoxifies the skin, which can help prevent inflammation and redness. This is suitable for oily and acne-prone skin.

Lymphatic drainage massage is a form of gentle massage that encourages the drainage of lymph nodes and the movement of lymph fluids around the body. It can help relieve symptoms of lymphedema.

The fluid in the lymphatic system helps remove waste and toxins from body tissues. Some health conditions can cause lymph fluid to build up.

Lymphatic drainage massages may benefit people with lymphedema, fibromyalgia, or other conditions.

Lymphatic massage aims to improve the flow of lymph fluid, which should reduce swelling. Massaging an area without swelling will make space for fluid to flow to those parts from more congested areas.

There are two types of lymphatic drainage:

  • Manual: A qualified therapist will perform manual lymphatic drainage.
  • Simple: Simple lymphatic drainage is a technique a person can use at home.

Anyone planning on learning simple lymphatic drainage should learn how to do it from a specialist. It is essential to know which area to massage and how much pressure to use.

Who can benefit?

Lymphatic massages can benefit people who have a buildup of lymphatic fluid. This may occur due to trusted Source:

  • cancer and cancer treatments that involve the removal of lymph nodes
  • filariasis, which is an infestation of the lymph nodes by a parasite carried by mosquitoes
  • some types of vascular surgery, such as vein stripping
  • burn scar excision
  • lipectomy, a type of surgery to remove fat from the body
  • infection or trauma in the lymphatic system
  • a buildup of fluid due to deep vein thrombosis
  • health conditions that affect blood flow to the extremities

Lymphatic buildup affects around 1 in 5 females after treatment for breast cancer.

According to a 2021 reviewTrusted Source, manual lymph drainage may also improve the quality of life in people with fibromyalgia.

People can perform most of these exercises either standing, sitting, or lying down, as long as they are comfortable.

Keep the following tips in mind during a lymphatic massage:

  • These massage movements should affect only the skin, so use gentle pressure and do not press hard enough to feel the muscles.
  • Keep the hands relaxed.
  • Do not massage areas with swelling or infection.
  • Do not massage areas of the body that have undergone treatment for cancer.
  • Drink extra fluids, ideally 2–4 glasses of water, after each massage to help flush the body.
  • During the massage, there should be no pain or skin reddening.
  • Do not use lotions or other products, only the hands.
