Talk to your esti about the perfect combo for you. Every skin type needs a custom, fine tuned, routine. Thankfully, your esti can help!

Ask your esti how to prepare for treatments and what downtime might look like for you! Each treatment has a different length and requirement of downtime but the listed above are usually best practices!

Happy healing!

We all love our BBL’s and Microneedling a, and MOXI’s but sometimes you need just a good glow for a party/reunion/wedding etc… try these above! You’ll love the brightening glow you get and you’ll love not having the downtime!

This is a big one for your esti’s!!

1. Allowing us to document for our Instagram TRULY is the best way you help us market our expertise. We need champs like you to allow for others to see how treatments are performed or to show that they can handle the service too. People get scared and need to see someone similar to their skin type/color/concern to know if they can or should get a treatment

2. Google reviews are always such a great way to spread the word to the public. They’re so appreciated and utilized.

3. Referring your friends is my favorite way to get new clients because the vibe is already right lol! I love meeting people that my people bring me. Like “oh your so-and-so’s friend?! I’ve GOT YOU!” So fun!

4. Prebooking. It’s more for you than us. We book out like crazy and our machines book out even faster because they’re being shared by other esties. Prebooking LOCKS in your appointment and your service so you get the machine and the time you want rather than scrambling for a super late or early super far out. Not ideal for you or your goals to have to push things out.

5. See the same esti. This one might be the most important for us for a number of reasons. If you see a random esti every appointment you’re likely not getting the results you want because every esti has a VERY different method to their madness. That and when you see someone, build that connection and trust, we’ll take better care of you, understand your skin more, and honestly probabaly give you free upgrades or even services (when we can obvi) because we appreciate your continued loyalty.




03/29/2024

Fun fact about BBL is it’s a “Pre-juvenation” treatment! Meaning it’s a preventative aging treatment among so many other fun benefits with NO DOWNTIME!


03/09/2024

If you’re considering doing resurfacing treatments, your skin needs to be prepped for the intensity. This means you need to be off of any antibiotics for 2 weeks prior, no retinol for a week prior, and to have hydrated, protected, and neutral skin to receive the service (ie no sunburns/spray tan or overly exfoliated skin with sensitivity)

Your esti will also often prescribe you a melanocyte suppressant or a tyrosinase inhibitor and spf to prep your skin even more so ( VERY VERY GOOD IDEA FOR pigmentation concerns).

Post care is always mandatory for your safety. If you go home and take a hot shower/tan/use active cleansers/ unsafe skincare then we will NOT treat your skin because it Absolutly will lead issues with your skin. Your esti will prescribe a very gentle and protective post care routine for you to ensure a safe and glowing healing process!

Skin is weird. Sometimes we can fix something simple in one session, sometimes it’s a “forever” type of treatment but knowing you have options is such a great feeling if you’re feeling frustrated or self conscious. And we love seen you thrive so let’s get you to your goals!

WHEN to Hydrafacial?!

I love strategically utilizing a Hydrafacial treatment a few days before something resurfacing! Hydrafacial hydrates the tissue and plumps the cells to create a better target for services like MOXI and Clear and Brilliant that target the water in your skin. When you Hydrafacial before services like MOXI and clear and brilliant (and even Microneedling/BBL/a laser genesis) you get so much more out of both treatments which leads to your skin getting even better end results. Try it out

Why not just do them same day?
You can BUT if I were paying for both, I’d want to experience both to its fullest comfort and potential and when we combine services with others, they are a condensed version the the treatment. They’re still great, just fast and likely on a prenummed face

Broad-spectrum protection (protects against UVA and UVB rays) SPF 30 or higher!!! Protect your skin and your glow! The sun is responsible for so much of aging AND as an aesthetician that loves doing treatments like chemical and peels, microneedling, and Moxi and BBL’s, I will not treat your skin with you pretreating your skin with consistant use of broad spectrum SPF first.

has a tinted and non tinted option that I LOVE :
✨tinted: tone smart
✨non-tinted: sunbetter



12/19/2023

We love MENDS! If you’ve had a Moxi, you’ve seen/felt this. MENDS are temporary part of the resurfacing that comes from. Keeping your skin moisturized helps to safely slough them off and ensures reveal a healthy glow. Dont pick, scratch or try to shave them off. They’ll do their thing!






My fav post Moxi products:
gentle foaming cleanser
alto
trio
sunbetter

✨Taking it ~way~back to aesthetic school✨

The skin performs six primary functions which include, protection, absorption, excretion, secretion, regulation and sensation. The skin functions as our first line of defense against toxins, radiation and harmful pollutants.

Maintaining a healthy skin function is SO important. Over exfoliating, under exfoliating, using subpar SPF protection, hydration etc.. can really effect your skin health. Consult with your aesthetician on how to properly hydrate, protect, exfoliate, and maintain your skins proper functions.



12/09/2023

✨MOXI✨

My favorite form of CIT (collagen induction therapy)
Great for:
✨texture smoothing
✨all skin colors
✨PIE/H (post inflammatory erythema/hyperpigmentation
✨anti-aging
✨pigment lifting
✨skintone evening

Considered to be a PRE-juvination treatment for those considering something more targeted for anti-aging.



11/15/2023

Take 5 minutes to make your day better. Starting your day with a strategic and simplistic routine can set the tone for a fantastic (and glowy day). When your world@is chaotic, and you have work/errands/babies/etc…, sometimes doing something as simple as washing your face, putting a hydrating serum, and SPF on makes you feel fresh, bright and ready to take on the day.
✨Do it for you✨



11/01/2023

✨Mystro✨

This serum. Wow. Love it probabaly a little too much! Balancing your skins micro biome sets the tone for how your skin properly functions, absorbs and metabolizes other products.
People that consistently use Mystro see a significant improvement in the appearance of redness, skin texture, dullness, pore size and uneven pigmentation after 8 weeks of twice-daily use. Helps achieve glowing, healthier-looking skin.



10/18/2023

Ouch! A distressed barrier can happen for quite a few reasons:
✨over exfoliation
✨combining too many actives
✨new medications
✨sunburn/windburn/windchap
✨using too hot of water to cleanse
✨expired products (usually an oxidized vitamin C)
✨ contaminated makeup/skincare


Consult with your esti for a safe and balanced routine to heal your skin before you book services. A damaged barrier needs to be healed before treatments can be received.

In another life I swear I was a eucalyptus tree in Cambria, CA.

I took this photo mid hike and was thinking to myself how lucky I was to have sunscreen that didn’t burn my eyes to the point where I’m too blind to safely live out my forest nymph dreams haha! Thank you Sunbetter for always protecting my skin and my eyes!

Spooky season is my fav season! Also great for laser hair reduction! If you are self conscious about your body hair and want a quick wait to get rid of it come get lasered. Most common areas I treat:
-brazillian
-underarms
-lower legs
-abdomen/happy trail
-chin
-lip
-sideburns/sides of face
-navel/areolas



We all have hair we dont want SOMEWHERE and if you feel that, come get a few laser sessions to see how you feel. It’s worth it!

✨Skincare & Makeup✨

I’m late to the makeup game but having a blast with it! Who would have though blush and highlight would make for a fantastic glow?! (Probabaly quite a few people I know 🥴🤣)

Here’s a tip I’ve found really helps!
Sunbetter is obviously a great SPF, but it’s also a fantastic primer for your makeup! it’s a great way for your skin to stay hydrated and protected underneath your foundation!

Best practices after using makeup is to double cleanse:
gentle foaming cleanser is a great option to remove makeup
Followed by an active cleanser of choice, a hydrating serum, and a night cream.





09/12/2023

✨Healthy skin✨ is about protecting your skin from sun and environmental damage, keeping it clean (yes washing your face off at night and not sleeping in makeup), exfoliating, hydrating, using antioxidants.

Getting ✨perfect skin✨ is using corrective products, doing routine maintenance treatments , anti-aging products like retinols and collagen stimulators, and aggressive treatments while maintaining the healthy skin protocol

BOTH are great but start with healthy skin at the forefront is what makes for perfect skin in the long run!



09/10/2023

✨double cleanse✨

Why should you double cleanse?
✨your first cleanse acts as a makeup remover as well as getting the dirts, oils, smog, and “day” off your skin
✨your second cleanse acts as a more cleansing step to treat your skin once that first cleanse is done
✨you can use the same cleanser twice or two different cleansers

✨pro tip: use a foaming or gentle cleanser to remove the “day” off your face, then follow up with a more active cleanser to treat your skin
✨my fav cleanser to double cleanse with are gentle foaming cleanser and cleansing complex

✨make sure to thoroughly rinse your skin to remove all the cleanser before you start your next steps of toner, serums, and moisturizers/spf


09/05/2023

Can we all agree that we SPF is the best? UVA and UVB protection is a MUST for optimal skin health, protection, and results from treatments. It’s the secret to glowing skin and so easy to do!

✨the importance of post-care✨

The right post-care insures a SAFE and effective way of healing your skin after a treatment or procedure. It’s incredibly important to use products your aesthetician approves of in order to keep your skin protected and safe.

had a GREAT post-care system of these three products along with treatment boosting towelettes to enhance the treatment. They also have an app and a pamphlet that walks you through the entire system to give step by stem AM and PM instructions. 10/1 peel ✨

How do you ?
Mine always starts around my mouth and migrates out.

I love VIPEEL’s technology. They’re a medium depth peel and they act as a vaso constrictor so it helps combat deep redness in the skin as well as pigmentation, acne reduction, anti-aging, retexturing , the list goes on…

Not physically peeling the peel can be tough but if you remember to rehydrate your skin with the provided SPF or night cream, then That helps a lot.


Have you tried a ?
