Ageless Aesthetics MediSpa offers basic facials shown here and Specialty Facials on our Specialty Facial Page. Facials are the foundation of healthy skin and maintenance to other corrective treatments we offer. Having monthly facials especially starting in our mid 30's will keep our surface exfoliated which stimulates epidermal cellular turnover. Notice how a young child had glowing and skin that looks so translucent, this is due to the high cellular turnover when we are younger. As we age our epidermal cellular turnover moves from a 28 day cycle to about a 45 day turnover cycle. This is why as we age our skin starts looking dull, flat, and lacks hydration.
We offer several options for our basic facial menu. You should know that all our facials are customized with professional grade products to target your areas of concern and offer the most regenerative service available in a facial.
This is our most customizable facial, designed with you in mind from deep cleansing to stimulating antioxidants. The custom facial varies in products used during the facial to deliver what your skin needs most. Your experience will begin with a deep steam cleansing, an exfoliation with either microdermabrasion, dermaplaning or enzymes, followed by extractions with our high frequency extraction device to remove any blocked pores or black heads, a customized mask atop antioxidants and peptides. Our LumaLight offers red, yellow and blue LED light therapy which assists in the penetration of the mask or light acid. If you are on the oily side you a light corrective lactic, salicylic or glycolic acid would be the choice, followed by moisture, ceramides and choice of sunscreens. Every facial includes a hand hydration treatment with warming mitts for maximum penetration. The Classic Custom Facial treatment time is 50 minutes.
Our signature Snowball facial was the original treatment developed approximately in 2000 and is now commonly known as MicroPeel. The treatment consists of a deep steam cleanse, followed by dermaplaning or microdermabrasion to properly exfoliate the surface of the skin so we can achieve maximum absorption for antioxidants, peptides, phytonutrients, and corrective products used in our facials. Dermaplaning is achieved by using a small blunt tip surgical blade to scrape away the dead skin cells, smooth the texture and also remove the vellus hair leaving the skin baby smooth. Microdermabrasion utilized a device that blows fine quartz crystals against the skin to gently exfoliate while the vacuum component removes the dead skin cells and crystals. After the exfoliation component of the facial, extractions will be performed with our high frequency extraction device to remove any blocked pores and blackheads. Now that your are cleansed and prepped your skin is ready to receive either a corrective layer of lactic acid, glycolic, or salicylic if you are in need of further correction or the antioxidants and peptides will drench your skin followed by a mask of choice to further penetrate the greatness your skin has just received. The LumaLight offers several options for LED light therapy and assists in penetrating the mask. The finishing touches will be moisture and ceramides and the application of the "cryotherapy" aka snowball, which is made from CO2 and prepared to sweep the skin to lock in the active products applied. The cryotherapy is followed by your choice of sunscreen. Every facial includes a hand hydration treatment with warming mitts for maximum penetration. The Snowball Facial treatment time is 50 minutes.
An Acne Facial is more than just a facial, it is an acne treatment. Our goal is to calm down the acne and clear the pores to receive the very effective ingredients we use during our acne facials. This facial included a steam cleansing followed by either an enzyme mask, dermaplaning or microdermabrasion. Dermaplaning is achieved by using a small blunt tip surgical blade to scrape away the dead skin cells, smooth the texture and also remove the vellus hair leaving the skin baby smooth. Microdermabrasion utilized a device that blows fine quartz crystals against the skin to gently exfoliate while the vacuum component removes the dead skin cells and crystals. At times acneic skin can be sensitive and if so we offer a wonderful exfoliating mask that will assist in removing surface dead skin cells. The most important component of this facial is the extractions with the bt Micro high frequency extractor. It is crucial to clear blocked pores and blackheads which can trap the acne bacteria in the skin. We then will use salicylic acid to sanitize and assist in drying up any pustules or breakouts. A mask of choice, either clay or bamboo ash are wonderful choices that penetrate when used in combination with the LumaLight which offer LED light to assist in calming down the sebaceous glands.

Our backs are most often neglected. Some of the largest pores on our bodies are on our backs.

Oxygen and especially medical grade oxygen when used in combination with 97 vitamins, minerals and herbs creates a wonderful healing experience for the skin. We recommend this facial when our patients have recently had a laser treatment or deep chemical peel with one of our nurse laser technicians. It takes time for skin to heal but when you receive an oxygen facial, your healing time is much quicker. Oxygen improves the skin's elasticity and suppleness by strengthening the collagen and elastin fibers in the skin. The Oxygen Facial can be used for comfort, relaxation and healing of the skin. Because of the nutrients, vitamins and antioxidants used during this relaxing facial, there are many healing factors involved that allow the skin to feel refreshed and rejuvenated.
