Available Advanced Modalities & Technology for Result-Driven Facials
Hydrodermabrasion
A gentle, next-generation microdermabrasion that combines exfoliation with deep hydration. Using a specialized device, this hydrofacial removes dead skin cells while infusing targeted serums tailored to your skin’s needs. Leaves skin noticeably smoother and brighter after just one session.
Cold Therapy
An ideal finishing touch for abrasive or extraction-heavy treatments, cold therapy soothes irritated skin by reducing redness and swelling. Using a flat handpiece, it cools the skin's surface, constricting blood vessels and minimizing inflammation.
Microdermabrasion
A non-invasive exfoliation treatment using a diamond-tipped wand to gently remove dead skin cells, leaving the skin smoother and more radiant. Ideal for addressing dullness, uneven tone, and early signs of aging. Suitable for most skin types and perfect for physical exfoliation on areas like the back and arms.
Ultrasound infusion
Also known as sonophoresis, this non-invasive technique uses ultrasound waves to enhance the absorption of topical skincare products. By creating tiny, temporary openings in the skin's outer layer, ultrasound infusion allows active ingredients to penetrate deeper. It boosts the effectiveness of serums and moisturizers while stimulating blood circulation, promoting lymphatic drainage, reducing puffiness, and aiding in skin rejuvenation.
Chemical Peels
A chemical peel is a skin treatment that applies a chemical solution to remove the outer layers of skin, promoting cell regeneration for a smoother, brighter appearance. Suitable for any part of the body, chemical peels come in three types based on their depth. They effectively improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, treat acne and scars, and correct uneven skin tone. Recovery and potential side effects vary depending on the depth of the peel used.
Microcurrent
Microcurrent therapy is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that uses low-level electrical currents to stimulate the muscles, skin, and deeper layers of the face or body. By mimicking the body’s natural bioelectric currents, this therapy offers a range of benefits. Often referred to as "facial toning" or "non-surgical facelifts," microcurrent therapy is a painless and safe procedure commonly used to combat signs of aging, fine lines, and wrinkles. For optimal results, consistent use is recommended.
LED Light Therapy
A non-invasive treatment that utilizes various wavelengths of light to target specific skin concerns. LED (Light Emitting Diode) therapy converts light energy into cellular energy, offering distinct benefits based on color. It enhances skin tone, texture, and overall appearance, making it suitable for both professional settings and at-home use. Safe and painless, this therapy also provides a calming effect, making it beneficial for conditions like Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
High Frequency
High-frequency devices emit a gentle, oscillating electrical current that generates thermal or heat effects on the skin. This non-invasive and painless treatment has many applications, from killing P. acnes bacteria and reducing inflammation to stimulating circulation, decreasing puffiness, and promoting skin rejuvenation by supporting cell turnover.

“Francesca's space is so luxurious. I love the lighting, the decor, the smell. It feels good to be there. She knows what she's talking about, especially when it comes to skincare ingredients/formulations and serves as a wonderful educational resource for whatever you have going on. She has really helped me find skincare that works for my skin now, as it has changed over the last year and I am dealing with a new condition. Huge help! She even sent me home with samples of her own proprietary skincare, which is fantastic stuff! Her beta glucan serum is the best I've ever tried. A little goes a long way and it has healed my depleted skin barrier and my lip, which has had this unsightly scar on it for the longest time. I'm now trying her retinoid serum and its lovely. Effective without drying my skin.”
