Out of this world facials

13 Oct

The new high tech skincare trend of LED facial masks and devices can be seen everywhere from YouTube to Instagram…it’s especially popular with celebrities and celebrity estheticians. Why? LLLT (low level light therapy) is the new cutting edge anti-aging regimen.

What is LLLT and how was it developed? Well, it’s a bit of an “out of this world” story 🤣…Sources indicate that NASA first harnessed light-emitting diode (LED) power to enable plants to grow on the space shuttle in zero gravity. Later, NASA scientists utilized LED therapy to accelerate the wound healing for astronauts. (Read more here The Facial That Came From Outer Space)

What does LED therapy do for the skin? Essentially, various wavelengths of light penetrate to different depths of the skin. We view these various wavelengths as different colors. The most commonly used wavelengths utilized for benefitting the skin are red and blue. Red stimulates fibroblasts in the skin to produce collagen and speeds heeling/repair (diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles). Blue kills bacteria that causes acne. Additionally, some of the best factors regarding LED treatments are that they are painless and non-invasive with no downtime.

At Rox Skin Studio, LLC, I have previously utilized LED therapy in a variety of treatments and seen the results first hand. I’m excited to share that I have recently added a Celluma® PRO light panel to the treatment room. This panel allows me to treat the entire face at one time, and also allows me some additional LLLT treatment options. Here’s some inspiring before and after photos utilizing the Celluma® PRO.

Celluma® PRO for Anti-Aging

Be sure to ask about how LLLT and Celluma® PRO could benefit your skin, and I’d be happy to share options for incorporating this amazing tool into your treatments.

Men Need Facial Treatments, Too

22 Feb

Rox Skin Studio best spa plano facial warm towel

Had a new gentleman client in the studio recently…so here’s a good article (from Men’s Health of course…don’t just take my word for it) illustrating why it’s good for men to get facials, too.

“In fact, probably more than the ladies, guys need facials, thanks to their coarser skin, larger pores, and increased chance of sun damage. ”

It may be intimidating for guys that have never had a facial before…but trust me – booking the appointment is the toughest part. I’ve had several men clients get their their first treatment here…and they’ve quickly learned to LOVE their skin care appointments. Book a Men’s Facial online.

How to help skin look younger – Featured Product – Growth Factor Serum

20 Jan

What happens to the skin as it ages?

Well, what we really notice first and foremost is the desquamation process (shedding of dead skin cells) slows down. Consequently, our skin doesn’t retain moisture as well, and can appear rough, uneven and lacking the radiance of youth. Also, as the skin ages- we start to see the formation of lines and wrinkles as well as loss of firmness/tone due to the breakdown and slowdown of production of collagen and elastin in the dermis (middle layer of the skin).

So, what can we do to help skin look younger?

My top recommendations:
1) Protect (always wear sunscreen…did I say always?!)
2) Exfoliate (regular at home exfoliation and/or professional facial treatments help facilitate the removal of dead surface cells)
3) Nourish (moisturizer and growth factor serums hydrate and strengthen skin)

Speaking of nourish…Are you familiar with EGF (epidermal growth factor) as a skin care ingredient? Epidermal Growth Factor increases cell renewal after any exfoliation and assists the skin in wound healing. It is an excellent home care maintenance product in that it nourishes and provides support that slows down the aging of the skin. By topically providing the skin with this essential nutrient, the skin experiences a healthier outcome.

If you have questions about how to incorporate a Growth Factor serum into your routine, please ask. I’m happy to help!

Functions of the Skin

14 Jan

Organic Facials in Plano, TX How well do you know skin?? Our skin is truly amazing. Did you know that the skin is the largest organ of the human body…and that other than the brain, it is the most complex? The skin and its many layers comprise what is called the integumentary system. There are 6 primary functions of the integumentary system:

-protection (shields internal tissues from external toxins, pollutants, bacteria and extreme temperatures)

-absorption (vitamins, oxygen, water, and other substances penetrate the skin through thousands of pores)

-secretion (sebum keeps skin soft and pliable)

-excretion (the skin is the body’s largest wast removal system – toxins and waste are released through sweat glands and pores)

-regulation (keeps body temperature where it’s supposed to be)

-sensation (skin contains millions of nerve endings to help us detect heat, cold, pain, pressure, etc.)

So, since our skin does so much for us…it only seems fair that we do our very best to take care of it.

This treatment is all about infusing the skin with cutting edge active ingredients that stimulate, repair and rejuvenate. These actives work to firm and tone the skin by triggering the cells to produce more collagen.

This is followed by the Purifying Lotion to tone and prepare the skin for the enzyme application – a customized blend of Cherry Jubilee Enzyme, Papaya Tangerine Enzyme and Mandelic Arginine Peel. This will stimulate cellular turnover, infuse the skin with antioxidants and provide hydration. Following the enzyme, the Hibiscus Peel is applied evenly then massaged into the skin to brighten, heal, hydrate, and further the cell regeneration. To repair and strengthen the skin, the ChronoPeptide A and Omega 6 EFA are massaged into the skin. Firming Apple Wine Peel can be layered over or mixed in with the mask blend of the Milk Mask and Grape Seed Parfait Mask to take this treatment to the next level. To finish, AGEless, Peptide 38, Drop of Essence Hydration Drops, and Sheer Tint Finisher are applied to leave skin absolutely glowing.
