Laser Hair Removal
Our laser hair removal uses Splendor X technology to target hair follicles precisely, offering long-lasting results for all skin types. Treatments address areas from small (unibrows) to full-body, with sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Ideal candidates experience reduced regrowth after 6-8 sessions, enjoying smoother skin without frequent shaving or waxing.
Spray Tanning
Custom spray tanning delivers a natural bronze glow using DHA solutions that develop over 8-12 hours. Our Classic and Quickie options cater to busy schedules, while CBD-infused formulas soothe sensitive skin. Proper aftercare ensures results last 7-12 days, with moisturizing and exfoliation tips provided to maintain even coverage.
Skin Care
Signature facials like the Sea Firm and Antioxidant Urban Defense treatments address hydration, brightening, and anti-aging. Using marine-based and vitamin-rich products, our estheticians tailor sessions to skin concerns, promoting rejuvenation and protection against environmental stressors for a radiant complexion.
Body Sculpting
Non-invasive body sculpting combines cavitation, radio frequency, and laser lipo to target stubborn fat and tighten skin. Treatments focus on areas like the abdomen and thighs, with sessions designed to enhance results through improved circulation and collagen production for a slimmer silhouette.
Chemical Peels
Single-session peels like glycolic and Jessners exfoliate dead skin cells, revealing brighter, smoother texture. These treatments address acne, hyperpigmentation, and fine lines, with post-care guidance to protect sensitive skin and maximize rejuvenation outcomes.
