chemical peel

Have you ever wanted a chemical peel, but aren’t quite sure of what to expect? Or maybe you’re afraid due to some horror story a friend told you? There is no need to worry!

I use PCA chemical peels in my treatment room. PCA chemical peels are superficial, meaning they exfoliate the outer layer of the skin, leaving you with a soft, bright complexion. If you’re a new client, I have you come in for a facial prior to the chemical peel. I’ll provide a skin analysis, talk skincare goals, home care recommendations, etc. My goal is to ensure you’re a good candidate for a chemical peel. I am PCA peel advanced certified and have experience with chemical peels for the past 2.5 years.

Fall is just around the corner……I know, I don’t want to accept it either! So why not go into fall with a glowing complexion? I’m offering 2 Fall scented facials at Sova Skin Solutions. The first facial is the toasted coconut coffee facial. This facial will satisfy any coffee lover! The toasted coconut coffee facial includes a gentle exfoliation,  using a coconut/papaya enzyme that dissolves dead skin, leaving you with glowing, healthy skin! The coffee and caffeine in the arabica coffee mask are antioxidants to protect and stimulate the skin.  Coffee and Happybelle-PE are the active ingredients which stimulate microcirculation for a flushing of toxins from the skin. Happybelle-PE leave the skin relaxed and happy! This yummy facial is good for those with dry, normal and even those with sensitive skin.

Hello you beautiful people, I’m so excited to be bringing in an additional skincare line.

I made the decision for my clients, to offer them a gentle, yet effective line that offers affordable home care. SkinScriptRX is a professional grade line that is not tested on animals, paraben free, fruit based and ideal for treating all skin types. Their products are created to address skin concerns, while improving the skin’s appearance. Skin Script’s philosophy is based on the idea of progressive rather then aggressive treatments. They have a great variety of home care, like the  Pomegranate Antioxidant cleanser for those with dry, sensitive, or rosacea. One of my personal faves (it smells amazing). Or the Acai Berry Moisturizer…. meant for dry/normal, sensitive or mature skin.

I’ve had a few people approach me and ask my opinion on the “at home” dermaplaning tool. And because I am so passionate about the industry, and love dermaplaning, I thought I’d write a little blog to clarify. These tools seem to be trending and are being advertised as dermaplaning. The tinkle razor is in fact what it says, a razor. That’s all. And unfortunately people are being led to believe that it’s actually dermaplaning. It only removes surface hair.

What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is the removal of the outermost layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz). It is also highly effective in minimizing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and acne scarring, while leaving skin smooth, supple and vibrant. It creates the perfect smooth canvas for makeup application too! This blank canvas allows products and serums to penetrate deeper into the skin, showing great results.

Dermaplaning is performed with the use of a specialized sterile surgical instrument. After the skin is prepped, the Esthetician holds the skin taut, and gently scrapes the skin with the blade held at a 45 degree angle. An enzyme mask, as well as serum, moisturizer and SPF is applied after the dermaplaning. Read more
