• LED Light Therapy: LED stands for light-emitting diode. NASA originally developed LED lights for plant growth experiments in space. LEDs have shown promising results in wound healing and human tissue growth. Different wavelengths of light in LED lights, including blue and red, penetrate the skin at different depths. This penetration may trigger biological processes that help the skin rejuvenate and heal.

• Microcurrent: Microcurrent facial toning sends safe, painless impulses to the muscles in the face to help overly tightened muscles relax, helping to restore them back almost to their original shape. The results? The appearance of a lifted, firmed, toned and more youthful appearance. Microcurrents also improve circulation to skin tissue which stimulates the production of collagen for improved texture and the softening fine lines.

• Advanced Exfoliation: A cosmetic procedure removing epidermal skin cells through manual, mechanical, or chemical means.

• Peels: If your skin is showing signs go aging, is blemish-prone or is a rough or uneven in texture, regular peels may make a profound difference. While traditional chemical peels are based on the destruction of skin cells, the peels offered by The Skin Lounge support the natural processes of healthy skin and to stimulate fibroblasts in the dermis to increase collagen production and helping to improve the appearance of aging and sun-damaged skin. The winter months are an ideal time to treat your skin to one of our peels.

• Microdermabrasion: Microdermabrasion treatments  use a mildly abrasive instrument to gently “sand” the skin, removing the thicker, uneven outer layer. It also exfoliates and stimulates the production of collagen—which declines as we age, resulting in looser, uneven skin. This treatment can improve age spots and blackheads, hyperpigmentation (patches of darkened skin), fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, acne and the scars resulting from acne.

• Microcurrent: A microcurrent facial is an advanced facial toning system that introduces a gentle, pulsating electrical current to the muscles of the face, resulting in increased tone. Multiple sessions are suggested for optimal results.

• High Frequency Zit Zap: An electrode-tipped wand emits argon gas along with an electrical current to generate oxygen, kill bacteria and calm inflamed skin—effectively eliminating painful acne spots and zits.

• Dermaplaning: Also called microplaning or blading, dermaplaning uses an exfoliating blade to skim dead skin cells and hair from the skin of the face. Dermaplaning aims to provide a smoother, more youthful and radiant face. It is suggested for those with acne scars, dull skin, dry skin, sun-damaged skin, fine wrinkles

• Facial Reflexology: When the ancient practice of reflexology is applied to the face, muscles relax, the production of collagen and elastin is stimulated, and toxins are eliminated leaving you calm and relaxed, and your skin glowing!
