Esthetician Services
What is an esthetician?
• Someone who is trained and knowledgeable about the skin, skin care treatments, and skin care products
• We have one, and her name is Susie.
What does she do?
• Microdermabrasions
• Ultrasonic pore cleansing
• Chemical peels
• Customized skin consultations
• Expert in skin care products that would be beneficial to you
What is a microdermabrasion?
• Is the application of high speed crystals against the face under suction
• Exfoliates or ‘sandblasts’ off the dead outer layer of skin
• Makes your skin shiny and more reflective of light
• Some patients come once a month for years
• Cost is $65
Can’t I do this at home?
• There are chemical exfoliates and devices you can use at phome
• They do not have the necessary vacuum to get into the deeper layers as a professional machine does
• A medical grade microdermabrasion result cannot be duplicated at home
What is an ultrasonic pore cleansing?
• A spatula is applied to the surface of the skin that is attached to an oscillating device
• This spatula oscillates at 28,000 rpm
• It goes just below the surface of the skin, oscillating out dead cells and bacteria from clogged pores and blackheads
• The fee is $45 and can be combined with the microdermabrasion
• Called a micro-scrub and we charge $99 for this combination
• Once you have had a micro-scrub, your face is mechanically clean as it can get
What kind of chemical peels do we use?
• We use rather mild chemical peels and do not do deep, surgical type peels
• Use chemicals such as glycolic acid to exfoliate the dead layer of skin
• Slightly deeper level than that achieved by the microdermabrasion
• Which is why they call it a peel, because you do have some peeling for 2-3 days
What kind of skin care products do we use?
• We use professional grade skin care products that contain the latest technology in the science of skin care
• They are bio-active substances that biochemically do something to improve the appearance of the skin vs. decorative cosmetics that just cover the skin
• The products we use are sold only to doctors
