Benefits of Massage
Although a single massage will be enjoyable, the effects of massage are cumulative and a course of massage treatments will bring the most benefits. Regular massage can have the effect of strengthening and toning the entire body, and so help to prevent unnecessary strains and injuries that might otherwise occur due to excess tension and any resulting structural weaknesses. Massage can stimulate or calm the nervous system-depending upon what is required by the individual-and thus help reduce fatigue, leaving you with a feeling of replenished energy. At its best, massage has the potential to restore you physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Reflexology
Reflexology is a natural healing art based on the principle that there are reflexes in the hands and feet, which correspond to every part, gland and organ of the body. Through application of pressure on these reflexes, reflexology relieves tension, improves circulation and helps promote the natural function of the related area of the body.

Hair Removal

Sugaring


Sugaring is an ancient method of hair removal which contains raw cane sugar and lemon. All ingredients are 100% natural with no added chemicals, no animal testing and no harmful side effects caused by allergic reactions. It is water soluble and due to the citric acid in the lemon, it does not build up residue on the skin, thus preventing the formation of ingrown hairs. The anti-bacterial properties of the sugar make it safe to use and does not cause skin irritation.

Regular use of sugar will see the hair grown in softer and finer while slowing down the growth. Sugaring weakens the root making it easier to remove the hair with each treatment. Most people find that sugaring is less painful than waxing.

Créme Wax
Our crème wax is the #1 selling professional hair removal wax in the beauty industry, due to the qualities of its formulas. Our wax contains shea butter and is perfect for the most sensitive skin. Crème wax conditions the skin when applied and leaves the skin silky smooth.

Hard Wax
Our hard wax imported from France is extremely gentle and is removed without a strip. It is designed to encapsulate the hair in the wax. This advanced formula prevents ingrown hairs and prolongs the amount of time it takes for re-growth to occur.

Common Questions About Microdermabrasion

What is Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a scientific method, using fine, inert (micro) crystals to progressively abrade the skin’s surface. It is used for skin resurfacing and treating a range of skin abnormalities. This treatment is helping men and women experience remarkable improvements in their skin texture, regardless of skin colour.

With our microdermabrasion skin treatment program, you can see immediate improvements in your skin’s appearance. This unique approach removes dead and flaking skin cells and stimulates the production of fresh, young skin cells and collagen.

How Does Microdermabrasion Work and What Results Can I Expect?

Micro-crystals are vacuumed through a delicate hand piece, which is held at a precise angle to the skin, producing a skin- polishing peel. In as little as 30-40 minutes, this gentle abrasion technique efficiently produces satisfying results. Treatments are applied through a course of weekly sessions. Microdermabrasion enhances the skin’s condition by stimulating collagen production and does what no other available non-surgical treatment can do in combating the signs of aging skin. Most importantly, it is safe to use on all skin types and colours.

Age spots and fine wrinkles are reduced, pores are unclogged, acne is diminished, collagen is stimulated and a more uniform tone is evident. Most clients report that their skin is visibly softer, tighter, smoother and younger-looking, even right after the first treatment.

How Soon Will I See Results?
You will notice an immediate improvement after your first treatment. Your skin will have a fresh pink glow and smoother texture. Improvements continue throughout your treatment.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Although fantastic results are achieved with the first session, a minimum of six treatments is recommended for long-lasting results. These treatments are usually performed every two weeks. After the six sessions, you should receive treatments once a month to maintain your youthful-looking skin.

Who Should Consider Microdermabrasion?


Microdermabraion is right for all skin types and for anyone interested in minimizing the appearance of: scarring, fine lines, pigmentation problems, uneven skin tones, dull, lifeless and sun damaged skin. Microdermabrasion is not recommended to anyone who has taken the acne drug Accutane within the past six months because there is a risk of creating scar or injury in someone who has taken Accutane.

Following your microdermabrasion treatment your esthetician will apply sunscreen following the procedure. You can resume your daily activities immediately after your microdermabrasion treatment. It is recommended you avoid sun exposure on the treated area for at least 24 hours.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is the new “lunch time” approach to skin resurfacing. It stimulates the production of new skin cells and collagen. This highly effective treatment is used to reduce and gradually remove fine lines and wrinkles, enlarge pores, brown spots, dull or uneven skin tone and texture a hyper pigmentation.

You will have immediate results after just one treatment. A minimum of 6 treatments is recommended to achieve the best results. The treatments take between 35 and 45 minutes.
