Services
Brazilian Waxing
Our Brazilian waxing service removes all hair from the bikini area while maintaining a small strip for aesthetic balance. Using Black Coral hard wax and Nufree strip wax, we ensure minimal discomfort while achieving smooth results that last up to four weeks. This treatment promotes cleaner lines and longer-lasting hair removal compared to temporary methods.
Microdermabrasion
This non-invasive exfoliation treatment uses diamond-tip technology to remove dead skin cells and stimulate collagen production. The 60-minute session includes deep cleansing, microdermabrasion, customized mask, serum application, and SPF protection to improve skin texture and radiance. Ideal for addressing rough texture and uneven tone in most skin types.
LED Therapy
Our LightStim LED panel delivers therapeutic wavelengths that promote cellular repair and skin rejuvenation. This 25-minute treatment reduces inflammation, accelerates healing, and improves circulation without UV exposure. Combined with other facial treatments, it enhances results for acne-prone skin, aging concerns, and overall skin vitality through non-thermal light energy absorption.
Dermaplaning
This dual-action treatment removes dead skin cells and vellus hair while applying enzymatic exfoliation for immediate brightness. The 60-minute session includes hydrating serum and SPF application to protect newly revealed skin layers. Regular treatments improve product absorption and create smoother texture for makeup application and enhanced skincare effectiveness.
Lash Lift
Using Elleebana one-shot technology, this treatment permenantly curls natural lashes for an open-eyed appearance lasting eight weeks. Available with tinting options, the service darkens lashes for added definition without daily mascara use. The non-invasive procedure reshapes lashes at the root while maintaining natural growth cycles for consistent results between appointments.
