Hair & Skin Esthetics

Effective hair removal and wrinkle reduction can require a series of appointments to achieve lasting affects. Essence MedSpa customizes services for specific skin types and areas of the body, therefore the times vary per application. An experienced clinician will do a pretreatment medical evaluation with an informed consent release prior to any medical procedure, to include pre- and post-treatment guidelines. Our trained esthetician will recommend your best hair removal strategy.

BOTOX®
Botox® is a simple, minimally invasive procedure that the FDA has approved as being highly effective in smoothing out deep seeded wrinkles and diminishing laugh lines or frown lines commonly found between the eyebrows, forehead or between the eyes. In about 5 days, wrinkles that made you look angry or tired are virtually erased for 3 to 6 months! After cleansing, a topical numbing agent is applied on the skin. Botox is administered as a series localized injections that amount to nothing more than a fleeting minor discomfort that is often described as an insect bite. There is no downtime and you can immediately return to your regular routine.

RESTYLANE®
This natural injection filler supplements a body's existing hydrating system by adding it to wrinkles which would ease if "plumped." Restylane has an immediate softening effect on defined a line which can reduce moderate facial wrinkles and folds around the nose and mouth. Restylane is also used for lip enhancement. Recovery time is minimal and benefits last twice as long as previously used collagen.

IPL (Intense Pulse Light) Hair Removal
IPL photo therapy is used to even out skin tones, diminish broken capillaries, eliminate sun damage spots, treat rocasea, and remove unwanted hair. Benefits abound and recovery time is minimal. Multiple treatments are required for best results and can be scheduled 3 to 4 weeks apart. Annual touch ups will insure continued hair-free areas.

Laser Hair Removal
This hair removal technology safely reduces unwanted body hair without damaging delicate pores and skin structure. A gentle light beam uses heat energy to extinguish the viability of the hair follicle. Since hair grows in three-stage cycles, anticipate repeat visits. This treatment is excellent for removal of hair on the back, underarms, chin, bikini line, and legs.

Laser Vein Treatment
Light technology is a newly developed solution to reduce unflattering surface veins and extra facial pigmentation due to sunspots or aging. An initial consultation will forecast the number of treatments required to achieve your desired result. There is no "down" time; the treatment is virtually pain free and your reward is clearer, smoother skin.

Waxing (20-60 minutes depending on treatment, series is recommended)
From eyebrow sculpting to clean bikini lines, Essence estheticians use a precisely warmed European wax enriched with soothing emollients to calm and protect delicate skin. Wax converts will tell you that any hair that returns is softer and progressively less dense with repeat treatments. All equipment is kept sterile; estheticians will wear disposable rubber gloves during waxing and dipsticks are never reused.
