BENEFITS:

oxygen is life: it creates microcirculation to the skin, triggers collagen production, increases wound healing, regeneration of cells, the induced oxygen also fights acne by killing bacteria. after all this excitement to the skin, we cool down with a cryo snow mask! get it while it's icy hot!

ACTION:

the bubbles: is applying a CO2 gel mask to the skin, resulting in your body producing more oxygen to counter the CO2.  carrying oxygenated blood to the skin initiates positive cellular functions.

the sensation is a spicy "stingle", that quickly dissipates. think of the carbonation when you drink sparkly water or soda! cryo mask contains hyaluronic acid (h2o magnet) and the cold temperature reduces any redness or internal heat. arbutin lightens pigmenation, while collagen keeps skin supple.

ACTION:

contains a gentle peel, that exfoliates but also feeds the skin with amino acids. the fau-tox are the peptides and sodium DNA. peptides fight aging by signaling the body to relax those lines and induce collagen. DNA triggers tissue regeneration and wound healing. vitamin B reduces pigmentation and improves impaired skin barrier.

Included in all facials

BENEFITS:

collagen synthesis, wound healing, blood circulation, reduces inflammation, redness and scarring. reduces wrinkles & lines, kills bacteria, and tightens & firms skin. increases cellular turnover. originally discovered by NASA, red light therapy has robust clinical studies proven to provide immediate and long term effects.

ACTION:

applying proven wavelengths (660nm red) of light to tissue for therapeutic effects. much like plants take in sunlight for energy, the light (photons) are absorbed by the mitochondria (powerhouse) of the cells.
this stimulates energy (ATP) to power cellular functions: repair, regeneration, restoration. no pain and no sun damage. great for all skin types, including sensitive & rosacea.
