- Lymphatic Draining
- LED Therapy Treatment
Lymphatic draining is a massage that stimulates the facial lymph nodes, giving the body’s natural detox process a boost. This relaxing massage uses gentle, yet effective brushing motions to reduce swelling in the eye and neck area, as well as the rest of the face. The lymphatic system consists of a large network of vessels and lymph nodes throughout the body. It is intrinsically linked to your immune system and helps in the removal of waste products from body tissue. The lymphatic system’s function is dependent on the pressure of the blood system. Because of this, your lymph nodes’ ability to eliminate toxins is dependent on the effectiveness of your circulatory system.
Dermaplaning is a safe, non-invasive professional exfoliation treatment that removes vellus hair known as “peach fuzz” and the superficial layer of dead skin. The peach fuzz on our face tends to collect dirt and excess oil in the follicle and sits on the skin’s surface that, over time, may cause blackheads or invade your pores. Regular removal is an excellent anti-aging/anti-blemish treatment as it keeps pores free of excess oil while preventing premature wrinkles.
The ZO Stimulator Peel is the perfect “lunchtime” peel because it is usually done in 30 minutes and results in zero downtime. The Stimulator Peel exfoliates the skin and stimulates the growth of new collagen and elastin using a combination of citric, lactic, and salicylic acid, plus potent concentrations of other active ingredients. This is an ideal treatment for melasma, sun damage, fine lines, uneven texture, large pores, dull skin, acne, and wrinkles. Best of all, it is suitable for all skin types.
LED therapy, also known as light-emitting diode therapy, is a non-invasive skin treatment that utilizes various wavelengths of light to target specific skin concerns. These wavelengths penetrate the skin at different depths, stimulating cellular activity and promoting healing processes.
LED therapy has several benefits for the skin, including
- Reduced Acne: Blue light targets the bacteria that cause acne, reducing inflammation and preventing breakouts.
- Improved Skin Texture: Red light stimulates collagen production, which helps to improve skin elasticity, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and promote a smoother complexion.
- Accelerated Healing: LED therapy can speed up the skin’s natural healing processes, making it beneficial for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, wounds, and scars.
- Anti-inflammatory Effects: Various wavelengths of light have anti-inflammatory properties, calming sensitive skin and reducing redness associated with conditions like rosacea or eczema.
