The Ultimate Facial
The Ultimate Facial is a corrective facial that includes a deep cleansing and three of our most popular services combined together: microcurrent treatment, microdermabrasion, and customized light therapy.
Microcurrent is a noninvasive skin toning treatment that targets antiaging, promotes collagen and elastin production, and increases blood flow.
DiamondGlow Microdermabrasion is a noninvasive skin resurfacing treatment that exfoliates, extracts, and infuses the skin with deep hydration.
Photo Light Therapy is a light-based skin treatment that targets concerns by utilizing different colors, or wavelengths, of light, each with unique and specific healing properties.
This treatment is customized to your unique skin condition and concerns, leaving the skin glowing and rejuvenated. Approximately 120 minutes.
DiamondGlow Facial
The DiamondGlow Facial uses noninvasive microdermabrasion resurfacing that leaves the skin radiant and healthy-looking. Its benefits include smoothing rough skin, targeting acne, and softening fine lines and wrinkles. It can also reduce the appearance of scars, dark spots, pigmentation, and pores to boost overall skin rejuvenation.
This water-based microdermabrasion treatment exfoliates, extracts, and infuses the skin with deep hydration. This service includes skin analysis, the DiamondGlow treatment, a hydrating mask, and custom product choices.
Book this treatment as a stand-alone treatment series or schedule it between your laser resurfacing treatments to speed up cell turnover and reveal radiant new skin. Approximately 60 minutes.
Microcurrent Treatment Facial
The Microcurrent Treatment Facial is a noninvasive treatment that gently tones and smooths the muscles and connective tissues in the face and neck by increasing cellular activity using low levels of safe, painless electrical impulses for lasting, lifted results.
Benefits include anti-aging, skin-toning, promoting collagen and elastin production, and increased blood flow. This service also includes a mask and hand massage.
Book this treatment as a stand-alone service or add it to one of our many other facials for a monthly self-care treat. Approximately 60 minutes.
Photo Light Treatment Facial
The Photo Light Treatment Facial includes a customized facial service combined with LED Light Therapy. This light-based skin treatment uses different wavelengths of light to target concerns and is effective for skin rejuvenation.
Each color of LED light is produced at a different wavelength and penetrates the upper layers of the skin, stimulating the skin’s natural ability to produce collagen and elastin by stimulating cellular function. Each color has unique healing properties and has different therapeutic applications for various skin concerns. Approximately 60 minutes.
This service can be added to many of the other facials we offer.
European Back Facial
The European Back Facial is a body treatment that targets back acne, congestion, and pigmentation or for those who want to focus on overall skin maintenance. Each service is custom-tailored to each person’s unique skin conditions on their back.
This body treatment includes skin analysis, deep pore exfoliation, extractions (if needed), high-frequency or galvanic current, and custom product choices. Approximately 60 minutes.
Glycolic Acid Peel
The Glycolic Acid Peel is great for those concerned with anti-aging, hyperpigmentation, and acne. An alpha-hydroxy acid exfoliates the skin and promotes new skin cell growth. This service includes the face, neck, and décolleté areas.
A glycolic acid penetrates into deeper levels of the skin, stimulating cell turnover, softening fine lines, evening skin tone, and promoting a rosy glow. This service also includes a noninvasive microcurrent treatment that gently tones the face for lasting lifted results. Approximately 60 minutes.
Salicylic Acid Peel
The Salicylic Acid Peel uses a beta-hydroxy acid to cut through oil, reduce bacteria, and decrease inflammation in problematic skin, resulting in a clear, oil-free complexion.
This peel is especially helpful for dealing with skin congestion or active acne. It can also be used to address overall skin tone and texture, deeper wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and a loss of elasticity. Because of the exfoliant used in this service, only the face is included in this peel. Approximately 60 minutes.
Lactic Acid Peel
The Lactic Acid Peel is also known as the “red carpet” peel because it leaves your skin glowing, rejuvenated, and ready to show off.
Lactic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid that gently exfoliates while enabling the skin to produce lipids that hold skin cells together, strengthening the skin barrier. This service includes the face, neck, and décolleté areas. Approximately 60 minutes.
The school offers additional advanced chemical peel services, which are listed on page 10 in the Medical Spa Treatments section of this menu.
Dermaplaning Services
Dermaplaning is a targeted manual exfoliation of the face that uses a surgical-grade sterile blade to remove unwanted hair and dead skin cells from the top layer of the epidermis and improves the skin’s overall appearance and texture.
This treatment includes a double cleanse, exfoliation using a sterile surgical blade, a mask, and custom product choices. This treatment leaves the skin soft and smooth with the added benefit of removing peach fuzz. Approximately 60 minutes.
Lash & Brow Tinting
Lash & Brow Tinting is the process of applying a semi-permanent dye to enhance, shape, and define your brows and lashes. The result is a more accentuated and darker appearance that can last up to four weeks.
This treatment uses a gentle vegetable dye to enhance and highlight facial features. It can make lashes appear longer by giving a uniform color to the hairs, which can be lighter at the base and tip, for a more dramatic makeup-free look.
These treatments can be booked separately but are often combined and each can take approximately 20-30 minutes.
Lash Lifting
Lash lifting is essentially giving a perm to your eyelashes. It works by softening the lashes so they can be molded into a new shape and then strengthened to hold that shape. It does not actually add volume or length, but it can create the illusion of both from the curling applied to the lashes during the procedure. Approximately 20-30 minutes.
Brow Lamination
Brow Lamination is a non-invasive conditioning treatment to tame and shape unruly brow hairs while providing moisture and nourishment. This treatment straightens hairs that grow downward for a more uniform look. It can help brows look fluffier and fuller while still looking natural, even when you go makeup free. Approximately 20-30 minutes.
Facual & Body Waxing Services
Waxing is a popular hair removal technique for any area of the face and body. Soft, warm wax is applied and then gently removed, leaving skin completely smooth, glowing, and stubble-free for weeks.
Both hard and soft wax can be used, depending on the area being treated and the hair being removed. Treatment times vary.
Professional Skincare Product Lines
The school uses a variety of professional-level skincare products to complement the facials and other services offered to our clients.
Each brand and product line has been selected for its quality, reputation for achieving results, and rigorous science-based testing. We carry cruelty-free products for all skin types and conditions.
We sell a variety of these products in our school lobby and on our website directly to our clients. Please speak with your student esthetician or our clinic coordinator for recommendations on products that can best help you achieve your skincare goals at home.

Non-Ablative Laser Resurfacing
Non-Ablative Laser Resurfacing treats fine lines, wrinkles, scarring, pigmentation, and textural changes by stimulating collagen and elastin production in the skin using the body’s natural wound-healing process.
This service, also known as fractional laser resurfacing, is a versatile option that can provide a wide range of treatments, depending on desired results. As you recover from this service, you will notice new tissue growth in the treated areas, producing healthier skin that’s more even in color and texture.
Photo-Rejuvenation & Dyschromia Reduction
(IPL)
Photo-Rejuvenation & Dyschromia Reduction, often called “IPL,” is a lightbased skin therapy that targets pigmentation from sun damage and redness for overall skin rejuvenation. It is performed using Intense Pulsed Light (IPL).
The spectrum of light used during this service is lower and has a more gentle level of LED lights than other skin-regenerating services. Photorejuvenation best describes an all-over improvement in skin tone, pigmentation (including redness and irritation), and texture. It produces even-toned skin with a glowing and calm complexion.
Dyschromia reduction is different than photo-rejuvenation. Instead of focusing on multiple treatment areas, dyschromia reduction is solely used to treat pigmentary issues. These conditions include irritation and redness, angiomas, couperose skin, telangiectasia, rosacea, sun damage, sun spots, and bacterial acne.
Microneedling
Microneedling utilizes the body’s natural wound-healing process to create new collagen and elastin in the skin and restructure scar tissue. Micro-punctures induce the skin’s natural healing process to stimulate collagen growth and retexturing.
Microneedling can be done superficially or more aggressively, depending on the skin condition it addresses. This treatment is great for improving fine lines and wrinkles. Results from this treatment can rival mild laser resurfacing without the lengthy downtime associated with that service category.
Microneedling also helps treat pigmentary conditions such as hyperpigmentation, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and melasma. This service is also recommended to treat scarring from injuries, acne, surgery, stretch marks, and to aid with mild to moderate skin tightening.
Although the face, neck, and decollete are popular areas to receive both types of microneedling treatments, this service can also be performed on other parts of the body, such as the arms, legs, hands, stomach, and torso.
Radio Frequency Microneedling
Radio Frequency Microneedling combines two powerful services. Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. When combined with radio frequency energy, the heat generated further amplifies the collagen-inducing effects of the skin, triggering the skin’s natural healing process to stimulate collagen and elastin production. It also provides both skin tightening and retexturing.
Radio frequency microneedling is suitable for addressing a wide range of skin conditions including wrinkles, fine lines, sagging skin, acne scars, and uneven texture. This versatility makes it a valuable option for individuals with multiple skin concerns.
Laser and IPL services, including laser hair removal, require the client to follow pre-appointment instructions carefully. Avoiding sun exposure is one example of these instructions. Please speak with our clinic coordinator if you have any questions prior to booking this type of treatment.
Prescription-level numbing cream can be ordered for regular microneedling services and must be ordered for radio frequency microneedling. It takes approximately one week to receive this numbing cream, so please schedule your appointment accordingly.
Fractional RF Resurfacing
Fractional RF Resurfacing uses non-ablative fractional resurfacing to treat fine lines, wrinkles, scarring, and textural concerns. Simultaneously, noninvasive radio frequency energy heats the targeted areas of the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production and promoting tissue remodeling.
This process helps tighten the skin, improve elasticity, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and other imperfections.
Radio Frequency Skin Tightening
Radio Frequency Skin Tightening is designed to rejuvenate and tighten skin to improve its appearance and firmness. Radio frequency skin tightening uses heat generated by noninvasive radio frequency waves to stimulate collagen and elastin production in the skin. The heating effect in the dermal skin layers leads to connective tissue remodeling, which tightens the skin.
This service can be performed independently or in combination with Radio Frequency Body Contouring.
Radio Frequency Body Contouring
Radio Frequency Body Contouring can improve the look of cellulite by smoothing dimples and shrinking the volume of fat inside their cells. Combined with suction, radio frequency heats the tissue to increase blood flow, stimulate fibroblast production in the skin, and shrink the fat inside their cells.
Radio frequency body contouring works by inducing heat into the skin and adipose tissue, increasing blood flow, and stimulating fibroblast production. The heating effect in the dermal skin layers leads to connective tissue remodeling, which tightens the skin. In addition, heating the adipose tissue causes the adipocytes, or fat cells, to sweat and shrink in volume, which can reduce the size of localized fat pockets on the body.
A once weekly session performed over a six week time-period are recommended for most clients to receive optimal results from this treatment.
Laser Hair Removal
Laser Hair Removal is a semi-permanent solution for removing unwanted hair on the face and body. Pulsed light delivers energy into the hair follicle, damaging the cells that produce hair and inhibiting or delaying future hair growth.
The energy from the pulsed light is attracted to the melanin in the hair follicle. Because of this, coarse dark black or brown hair on fairer skin will typically have the best results. The treatment of red, white, gray, and blond hairs is usually not advised due to the lack of pigment in the hair.
Laser Tattoo Removal
Laser Tattoo Removal uses a non-ablative laser to permanently lighten or in best cases, fully remove unwanted tattoos. Tracing a targeted laser beam over the tattoo breaks up the large ink particles into much smaller pieces that the skin’s immune system can then carry away.
Complete removal of a tattoo is not always achievable, and the process can take up to a year or longer, depending on the size, age, and colors of the tattoo. These factors will be evaluated and discussed during the initial consultation for this service.
Advanced Chemical Peels
The Jessner’s Chemical Peel combines multiple acids into one treatment. It contains a combination of 14% Resorcinol, 14% Lactic, and 14% Salicylic Acid to target acne, fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and to improve overall skin tone and texture.
The MandeliClear Chemical Peel is an alpha-hydroxy peel that is great for lightening melasma, addressing acne scarring, and treating postinflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
The DermaFrost Chemical Peel has advanced strength exfoliation that targets problems found deeper in the skin. Salicylic acid, at 25%, is a beta-hydroxy acid that is antibacterial and anti-inflammatory and cuts through oil in the skin. This peel is beneficial for dealing with active acne, overall skin tone and texture, deeper wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and a loss of elasticity.
