Step up your skincare regime with our Intensive Renewal Copper Peptide Peel. Designed for those familiar with peels or needing deeper rejuvenation, this phase introduces a more concentrated blend of copper peptides to aggressively target the signs of aging, such as deep wrinkles and significant sun damage. This intense treatment penetrates deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production, enhance elasticity, and deliver a profound transformation with more dramatic results.
 session
Experience personalized skin rejuvenation with our Custom TCA Peel. Tailored to your unique skin type, this treatment uses buffered TCA (trichloroacetic acid) in varying strengths to deeply exfoliate and refresh your complexion.
Ideal for addressing fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and other skin imperfections, our peel promotes a smoother, more even-toned appearance.

This comprehensive treatment begins with ultrasonic preparation, enhancing the skin's receptivity to the subsequent mild AHA peel that deeply cleanses the dermis. A soothing enzymatic mint mask follows, providing a cooling and refreshing sensation. The session culminates with our MyoLight (microcurrent) therapy, combined with LED lights to visibly lift and firm the face. Targeted serums and moisturizers are meticulously applied to detoxify and nourish the skin, leaving you with a rejuvenated, vibrant complexion. Perfect for anyone looking to achieve a firmer, more youthful appearance.
 session
Brighten and refine your complexion with our Glycolic Refresh Peel. This mild exfoliant targets the outermost layer of skin, gently loosening the tightly packed dead cells bonded to the surface. Ideal for removing rough or dry patches, evening out skin tone, and revitalizing a dull, dehydrated complexion, this peel leaves your skin youthfully refreshed and glowing. Perfect for those seeking a gentle, yet effective, skin renewal treatment.
Please arrive 10-15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment time. Starting your service on time allows you the full relaxing experience you deserve. If you are late, we may need to shorten your treatment to accommodate for the next scheduled appointment.
We require 24 hour notice to cancel or reschedule any appointment for both members and nonmembers. We reserve the right to charge for the full service without proper notice. Please do not email any cancellations. Call the Hospitality Desk at 512-580-5775.
To hold a reservation for any service, you must provide a valid credit card. Your credit card will hold your time with the practitioners or service so that another booking is not put in its place. This applies even if you intend to pay with a gift certificate. Alive and Well will not charge your card unless you fail to arrive for your appointment or do not cancel within the appropriate period of time.
Most guests leave with glowing skin! However, facials often include extractions, so some redness may occur right after the facial. Discuss with your esthetician any concerns you may have about your appearance immediately after treatment.
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.
