Bring Spa Wellness Home

Spa and Wellness Solutions available in the convenience of your home and at a time convenient for YOU

High end spa treatments are safe, effective and yield visible results, although many do require sessions 2 to 3 times a week, and/or ongoing maintenance once results are achieved.  Many clients just do not have that kind of free time. 

Perhaps you want to look your best for that upcoming party or swimsuit vacation and have no time to come in for sessions or need to do some of them from home.

As a busy mom myself, I realize how hard it is to make appointments to take care of yourself.  These treatments can be done at home, when the kids are napping or have gone to bed for the night or when you are finally home from work and the day’s activities.  Many can be done while you are watching TV or doing your nightly emails!

Enhance your current sessions with an advanced home care routine, whether it would be for pain relief, surgery recovery, detoxification, slimming, cellulite, and/or skin firming, there is a solution for you. 

With advancements in technology, many previously “Spa Professional Only” treatments are now available for the home user.  These treatments are safe, easy, effective and require minimal time.  

You receive a custom treatment plan, all products and materials, along with a guide of protocols and procedures to follow.  If purchasing equipment, full training and procedure manual provided.  Follow up consultation is always available as well.   Some treatments do require in office visits (i.e. pre and post surgery) while others can be done on your own with a simple consultation to ensure you are getting the right equipment and products needed. 

I am constantly on the lookout for the latest advancements in technology and body products and utilize as many natural, organic and “green” products as possible.  You even save gas by not coming to the salon as often!
 
Please check my online store for detailed information about the following product summaries for equipment and supplies:

Handheld Ultrasound

Ultrasound massage reaches into the skin. Ideal for delivering a massage to larger areas: upper arms, thighs, waist, hips, and calves. Pulsed ultrasound (not continuous emission) delivers the energy more gently.

Handheld units emit ultrasound waves at a frequency of a million vibrations per second (1 MHz). Ultrasound reaches deep layers, warms and stimulates cell activity, for a glowing, firmer, more youthful beauty.  It improves the absorption of moisture & nutrients from cosmetic products, providing a gentle exfoliation to improve the skin’s appearance, tone and elasticity.

Thermal effects are excellent for pain relief, alleviating and softening scar tissue while improving lymph flow, accelerating healing and topical product penetration.

Phonophoresis: which is the use of ultrasound to drive medications or topical products into the skin. The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery recently stated: "New skin care product formulations, used in conjunction with ultrasound, will allow for deeper penetration of topically applied rejuvenating agents into the skin, resulting in significantly improved aesthetic results." This is accomplished by the combined mechanical piston like effect of ultrasound and the altering of cell permeability. This process does not alter the chemical composition of the topical and is pleasant for the patient.

Ultrasound stimulus is non-invasive and very safe to administer. The product will almost evaporate into the skin after the head of the Ultrasound tool is lightly rubbed onto the skin. As well as assisting with penetrating product into the skin surface, Ultrasound has been proven to assault cellulite nodules and adipose cells, that due to the mechanical-thermal effect of ultrasound, are dissolved and therefore easily expelled by the organism.  The perfect combination of ultrasound's continuous current is what enables the skin to increase it's elasticity. This procedure is used for 10 to 15 minutes.

LED Light

Heliotherapy (light exposure) has known benefits for the skin, with impacts on such things as vitamins, enzymes, and skin elasticity and firmness.

Microcurrent

Bi-Polar Interferential:
This stimulus provides a much needed increase in blood and lymph circulation. The Interferential current works with the client's body to stimulate the abdomen, thigh and buttock muscles. It also promotes cell rejuvenation and helps tone and tighten the skin. Unhealthy and damaged skin cells begin to resonate at the same healing rate as healthy, young cells. A client can expect a 40% or more increase in levels of collagen and elastin due to this stimulus. Each skin cell vibrates, expels toxins, re-establishes a potassium-sodium exchange and re-oxygenates allowing the skin to be cleansed and moisturized. Finally, the muscle stimulation increases the metabolic rate and improves circulation, which in turn reduces cellulite build-up while detoxifying the body. This stimulus is given in a 10-15 minute intervals.

Microcurrent:
Mixed microcurrents act as a detoxifying flush to the body's lymphatic system removing unwanted wastes as well as offering other benefits to the client. The feather-like electrical current causes healthy electrical charges at the cellular level, which increases cellular activity. This enhanced cellular activity causes a 500% increase in ATP production, the bodies own chemical energy. It also causes cells to dump old stored toxins into the bloodstream, which may have been accumulating for years; these toxins will eventually be processed by the liver and removed from the body by its own elimination system. 10 -15 minutes of Microcurrent releases as many toxins as 2 hours of deep tissue massage. Due to the strong detoxification, there can be side effects like nausea or fatigue. It is recommended that clients drink large amounts of water following the body treatment. The clients will notice that their skin becomes finer textured and regains a fresh, healthy glow once the treatment has ended.


We have found that the combination of advanced product formulations along with proper body treatment applications offer our clients the best results in the shortest amount of time. Benefits include:

  • Break down and reduce cellulite as well as tighten the skin.
