A Skin Care Affair with Laura

Peels

New skin cells are formed in the basal layer, the lowest layer of the Epidermis. These new cells gradually push their way to the top to form the strateum corneum and eventually shed off. We lose 30,000-40,000 skin cells every hour and almost a million cells everyday. It takes 28 days for the new cells to reach the top, which means the skin you have a month from today will be completely new compared to the skin you have today.

As we mature our skin cells regeneration deteriorates, and the rate of cell renewal slows down. Removing the dead skin allows the fresh new cells to be revealed improving the appearance of the skin. Exfoliation also increases blood circulation, brings more oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells, removes dead skin cells from the surface helping to keep the pores from becoming clogged, and improves skin tone by removing pigmented surface cells (sun damage).

Types of Peels

Pumpkin Peel and Microdermabrasion Treatment $60 (30 Min.)

This treatment was a hit when I offered this service for a Groupon. It was $29 for one treatment and $59 for 3. Awesome deal!! I currently run this special for $79 for 3 treatments.

This can be done on your lunch hour. You can resume normal activities and also put makeup on after. The Microdermabrasion exfoliates the superficial dead layer of skin while smoothing out the texture and evening out your skin tone. The sundamage wont be as noticable, the dark scars from a breakout or acne diminish. Your fine lines and wrinkles won't be as deep.

Adding the Pumpkin Peel to this treatment kicks it up a notch. The pumpkin peel has glycolic and salicylic acid in it which does the same thing as the Micro except the natural pumpkin has over 200 nutrients, minerals and vitamins that nourish your skin. Your skin looks really good after just one treatment but actually looks even better by 3. I normally sell this in a package of 6. You definately need 6 to get the best results. Do them every 2 weeks 6 times.

This is one of my favorite treatments!

Signature Facelift  $125 

This treatment is for all types of skin! You are a great candidate if you have: Rosacea, you're pregnant, sensitive, fine lines and wrinkles or dry and dehydrated. This is also called a lunchtime peel.

The gentle and cooling blend of botanicals and vitamin C will refresh and rejuvinate your tired and ageing skin. They call it a "Facelift" because it tones and tightens your skin as well. If you have a special occassion planned, this is the one to get before hand. The Signature Facelift eats away at the dead surface cells while allowing the product to penetrate into the deeper layers to plump up that collagen, tighten the elastin while evening out your skin tone. Your skin will be brighter, smoother, rejuvinated, pores refined and inflammation reduced. Your skin will be fully nourished. Ultimate hydration will instantly quench your skin and be one of the final benefits! There is no downtime.

*6 treatments every 2 weeks is recommended
