Smooth fine lines and achieve an ageless look with injectables like Botox, Dysport, Juvederm and Restalyne.
Injectable treatments are fast and relatively painless, requiring little to no recovery time. They are also less expensive compared to traditional cosmetic surgery. The combination of no down time and minimal cost makes injectable treatments a great alternative to surgery for correcting the effects of aging.
Step One: Diamond dermabrasion for deep exfoliation.Â
Our wand has a wide range of diamond encrusted tips with ergonomics designs shaped to fit the face, eyes, lips and body. In the first step, the wand performs a deep, thorough exfoliation, resurfacing and polishing the skin with no downtime.Â
Step Two: Edema and lymphatic system cleansingÂ
Also called Negative Pressure Therapy, this next treatment stimulates lymphatic flow and remove toxins from the body. It also strengthens the functions of tissue, promotes blood circulation, and improves the appearance of cellulite on the neck area.Â
Step Three: High pressure oxygen sprayÂ
This tool delivers moisture-rich oxygen onto the deepest layer of the epidermis, activating cells, stimulating blood circulation, and increasing hydration. 95% pure oxygen is activated through a process called Pressure Swing Absorption, which kills surface bacteria.Â
Step Four: Biosonix ultrasoundÂ
In step four, the Biosonix uses full spectrum LED light and continuous 3MHz transducer ultrasound waves on the skin. This process creates the Piezoelectric Effect and penetrates the skin (approximately 3cm deep) to deliver vitamins and nutrients through the phonophoresis process.Â
Step Five: Myolight microcurrentÂ
Utilized with full spectrum LED light, the Myolight delivers low-level current that mimics the body’s natural current to provide instant toning and contouring deep below to the facial muscles. This also stimulates adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production, which drives the creation of structural collagen and elastin.Â
Step Six: LED Light Therapy with OxygenÂ
In the last step, OxyLight injects 95% pure, dry oxygen through the 12 nozzles on the full spectrum LED Light Panel. The Ionix Light Facials releases a gentle Negative Ion mist (pure, Negatively Ionized Oxygen) from one center-based nozzle while utilizing blue, yellow and red LED Light Therapy.Â
Each facial ranges from 60-90 minutes.Â
An Ionix Facial is a no-strings-attached experience! Feel free to book as many or as little sessions as you’d like.Â
The number of sessions needed for effective results with laser hair removal varies depending on factors such as hair color, skin type, and the area being treated. Typically, multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart are required to target hair follicles in different growth phases and achieve optimal results.
Ionix Facials are safe for everyone. If you’re concerned about a condition you have, call our office or talk with your physician. Â
Acupuncture is a type of traditional Chinese medicine that’s been around for about 2,500 years. It’s used to support wellness and improve overall mental and physical well-being. The acupuncturist places needles into specific points on the skin to help activate an energy in the body, called qi. According to traditional Chinese medicine, qi is the lifeforce energy in the body — it helps regulate and move things in the body to keep us well. Stress, environmental factors, lifestyle behaviors, and genetics are some of the things that can block qi in the body. The needles help to unblock or move qi to other areas in the body to help support wellness.
Acupuncture needles are solid, stainless steel needles that are usually not much larger than a strand of hair. Acupuncture needles are placed at a very shallow depth and go between tissues, making them less painful than a typical injection.
You might be more sensitive in certain areas, but acupuncture shouldn’t hurt. If you feel pain, tell your acupuncturist. They’ll adjust the needles or choose other points. Their goal is not to make you feel pain. They do a lot of work to position you properly and make sure you feel comfortable.
Indeed you can do acupuncture or massage while pregnant. It is safe and our practitioners are very well versed in how to treat pregnant women. Please let us know when you book a treatment if you are pregnant and how far along you are.
