Client Education Portal
Herbology & Pelotherapy
Pelotherapy is the application of a variety of mineral clays as a therapeutic treatment for the skin. The clays are selected according to mineral potential, and are then blended with herbs, essential oils and hydrosols to offer a highly customized application in dermatherapy. The selection of the clay and additives are based on the skin’s individual presentation, and the specific activity of the botanical and herbal constituents.
Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is the therapeutic use of essential oils that are by products of plant metabolism. Essential oils are stored in cells of the plant and are considered the “life force” of the plant or flower. Essential oils contain many vital phyto nutrients and therapeutic components that are responsible for giving each essential oil its own specific activity or function. Essential oils are used in dermatherapy within all aspects of care, and are the cornerstone of holistic skin care.
Acupressure
Acupressure therapy dates back thousands of years and is deeply rooted in Chinese medicine philosophies using Qi (a vital energy) as points to stimulate balance and healing. In similarity, acupressure points correspond with many of the key meridians used in acupuncture. The Chinese microsystem points for the face are engaged through acupressure and may offer benefits such as stress reduction, aid in circulation and lymph drainage, reduction of edema & pain infiltrates, and triggering facial motor nerve points. Acupressure is used in dermatherapy as standard of care for the majority of skin conditions. Kinetic Cupping Therapy
Baguanfa or face cupping is a modern term used for suction cup therapy. Cupping therapy has been used for thousands of years and is said to have originated in China. Cupping is a type of “reverse massage “ that relies on the aspects of negative pressure for its application. Facial cupping uses small cups and a nutritive skin oil to vacuum lift the face. Cupping can be used to help increase blood circulation to the head and neck, drain congested lymph, reduce edema, soften the appearance of wrinkles, , and enhance the application of topical products. Gemstone & Jade Therapy
Jade rolling therapy utilizes a cool jade instrument that is applied with acupressure and other manual techniques to encourage lymphatic drainage. Lymphatic drainage will assist in the reduction of interstitial fluid retention and edema, help to improve microcirculation, facilitate the removal of waste product in the tissue, and improves cell metabolism. Gemstone therapy is used in dermatherapy as a thermodynamic application – using various types of stones in alternating warm and cold applications to aid in circulation, reduce inflammation, soothe, calm and tone the skin. Lymphatic Drainage
The lymphatic system is one of the most important components of the immune system. In dermatherapy, lymphatic drainage is considered a primary indicator for the assessment of stagnant and congestive skin conditions. Poor lymph activity is directly attributed to puffiness and dark circles under the eyes, swelling of the face, and distention. Lymph drainage will facilitate waste transport and encourage revitalization of cells by oxygen and balance through healthy blood flow. A well functioning lymphatic system will contribute to the tone, color, clarity and vitality of the skin. LED Diode and Chromatherapy
LED is an innovative light therapy that provides stimulus to the skin on a cellular level. LED wavelengths of light encourage cellular activity, collagen synthesis, increase circulation, lymphatic activity, and boost the development of ATP in cells that process nutrients and aid in removing waste. DNA replication is also stimulated to remove damaged cells and replace with new. Combining Led with Microdermabrasion is an excellent treatment for both surface and sub level rejuvenation. LED assists in the treatment of hyperpigmentation, rosacea, eczema and scar revision. Jet Clear ® Saline Exfoliation
The Jet Clear treatment is an air – jet propelled device that utilizes saline water to effectively deep cleanse the skin and “pressure wash” the epidermis. The treatment is designed for all skin types and will improve the appearance, surface hydration and texture of the skin. Jet Clear is highly effective for acne, skin texture improvement, hydration, non-chemical exfoliation and overall skin refining. Fusion Microdermabrasion - Organic, Traditional & Crystal free
A highly popular skin resurfacing technology featuring traditional aluminum oxide crystal. Microdermabrasion offers a non- chemical approach to exfoliation with a multitude of benefits: skin refining, micro lymphatic drainage & collagen synthesis. Microdermabrasion creates a healthy state of skin and allows for a deeper penetration of perfecting products when applied following the resurfacing. Organic crystals may be substituted for traditional crystal and are made from plant and vegetable materials with phyto nutrients and minerals. Zinc, copper, iron, soy, corn, sunflower, pine & spruce gently polish and refine. A safe & effective treatment for sensitive skin, it offers all of the benefits with a kinder, gentler approach. Crystal free microdermabrasion uses a stainless steel tip encrusted with diamond faceted steel particles and a negative pressure suction that can exfoliate at different strengths depending on the “grit” size of the steel tip and the suction setting. This type of microdermabrasion is recommended for skin with vascular conditions, sensitive skin types, acne and scarring – and is an excellent pre treatment for the infusion of corrective skin serums. Dermatude ® Meta Therapy
Meta Therapy employs the use of a unique pen device and a single use micro point tip that creates micro channels into the outer layer of the skin. Dermatude subjectable serums are then delivered through the tiny excoriations to aid in skin refinement. Meta Therapy activates regeneration of the skin via its natural repair mechanism as a result of the tiny perforations from the micro channeling. Unlike dermal rolling and other devices that feature deep needle penetration – Meta Therapy creates a stimulation and regeneration of a less invasive nature, and is excellent for devitalized, sun damaged, and distended skin conditions. Cavitation & Sonophoresis
Ultrasonic cavitation skin cleansing uses a spatula shaped device and a special blend herbal infused water to remove surface debris and gently but deeply cleanse the skin. Ultrasonic cleansing is an alternative to microdermabrasion, and is suitable for all skin – including sensitive skin types. Sonophoresis is an ultrasound-assisted technique and device designed for the infusion and delivery of botanicals, nutrients and cosmeceutical serums into the skin following any exfoliation procedure. Benefits of cavitation and sonophoresis include: increased circulation & cell metabolism, reduction of edema, renovation and contracture of scar tissue, improved lymphatic flow, and the promoted preparation of skin tissue. Orthomolecular Ionization – Mesoporation
Mesoporation is a non-invasive delivery system based on iontophoresis (delivery of water based products) to the skin. Mesoporation infuses active mineral and vitamin infusions, peptides and nutraceuticals and is particularly effective following microdermabrasion or other exfoliation treatment. It is highly beneficial for sun damaged, devitalized and oxygen deprived skin. Orthomolecular Ionization – Microcurrent
Microcurrent works by utilizing unique electrical waveforms transmitted through probes and a gel medium used on the skin. Microcurrent has an affinity with the naturally occurring biological current of the body, providing a multitude of benefits in both beauty and health. Microcurrent has the capacity to work internally on the muscle fibers and the combination of different frequency variations allows microcurrent to exhibit great results in tissue enhancement and repair. The frequency variation in the current can be concentrated on specific tissues and adapted to the individual needs of each client. Micro current produces a proliferation of cells by the fibroblasts secretion of proteins such as collagen, and works on the nerve and muscle cells to increase the tonicity of the fine facial muscles. Micro current speeds up the rate at which the body produces its own muscle protein ATP (adenosine triphosphate) this enables collagen fibers to reduce the aging effects on muscle. Micro current has a regenerative effect increasing the local metabolism of the skin and muscle tissue resulting in a corrective and preventative anti aging treatment. Radio Frequency
Radio frequency aids in the general revitalization of the skin tissue through thermal radiofrequency emissions of energy to firm the skin. An electrode is applied to the skin along with a conducting gel to deliver deep treatement with targeted radio waves. Alternating stimulus of a cold roller application creates an additional therapeutic action on skin firming and a revitalized appearance. Benefits of radio frequency include instigation of cellular function, stimulation of collagen, and aid in the improvement of sun-damaged skin, facial aging lines, and skin firming. Dermaplanning
Dermaplaning, or epidermal leveling, is a type of manual exfoliation performed with a rounded edge blade that is used to scrape the skin and remove dead cells and vellus hair. The procedure is painless, non-chemical, and may be performed on all skin types in need of deeper exfoliation.
Dermaplaning will assist in the clarity of the skin for those with oily skin tendencies and excessive facial hair by removing debris. For anti-aging and sun-damaged skin, dermaplaning instigates cellular turnover, and aides in the penetration of perfecting products. The results are immediately visible as the skin is smooth, exfoliated and refined. Dermaplaning should be performed approximately every four weeks in conjunction with the skin’s normal cell rejuvenation cycle.
