Lookin' Good
There are few more satisfying holiday-party experiences than when someone you haven't seen for a while gives you the, "Ooooh - you're lookin' good!" nod of approval. Even better - when you peek in the mirror and say it to yourself.

Lookin' Smooth with the Erbium Laser
Minimal downtime - and great improvement of mild to moderate wrinkles and pigmentation? Sign us up. The Erbium laser is the perfect fit for the younger patient starting to see fine lines and discoloration to the older patient who has more wrinkles, texture issues and sun damage. It can also target specific trouble spots, like around the mouth and eyes. Gentle and safe, it's often used on the neck, chest, hands and face with minimal risk.

Lookin' Fresh with the Facial Flush
Facial manual lymphatic drainage - like the one you'll experience in the new Facial Flush treatment - is a relaxing, non-invasive experience designed to improve circulation, refresh the appearance of the skin and skin tone, release toxins and remove water retention from the face. Manual lymphatic drainage is an essential anti-aging aid since it contributes to the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles. Our internal filtration device, the lymphatic system, is a major part of the immune system - its main job is to filter blood and dispose of toxic waste. To maintain exceptional internal and external health, it is important to make sure we have a healthy lymph system that can remove as many toxins as possible.

No more Stubble Trouble
Just when you thought you could go a day or two (Week or two?) without shaving your underarms, Little Black Dress season arrives. Be shadow, stubble and irritation free by booking your wax sesh asap. You'll be smooth and fresh from Thanksgiving to New Year's, no razor burn necessary. "For best results both before and after your waxing session, exfoliate the area gently with your cleanser of choice and a cloth or body poof," says Heather Nelson of WAX by Heather Nelson.

Shorten Downtime with Dermaka
Developed by a renowned surgeon, Dermaka is an all-natural plant-based cream enriched with vitamins that can be used on all types of skin disorders and is a lifesaver after you've had a minimally-invasive procedure like phlebectomy, sclerotherapy, chemical and laser peels. Dermaka aids in reducing swelling and bruising; supports healthy skin rejuvenation; and helps decrease inflammation and redness, minimizing bruising and inflammatory responses of the skin in the post-operative period.
