Let's talk skin

Aesthetics

According to Milady Esthetics, the exhaustive textbook on the practice, Esthetics is “a branch of anatomical science that deals with the overall health and well-being of the skin, the largest organ of the human body.”

About Us

We have two estheticians at our practice, Lauren Edmonds and Katie Compston. Both practice holistic esthetics, meaning that they learn how to treat a patients’ whole health, advising them on their skincare, nutritional and emotional needs.

As a practice, we take a holistic look at esthetics, and consider the patient’s skin and body as a whole. Using this approach, we look at product ingredients with you, go through your lifestyle, and address skincare products that could be used to help heal or maintain skin conditions. We recommend routine skin treatments to help with your overall skin health and microbiome, and will refer out to our Functional Medicine providers and other specialists if further assistance is needed, especially in treatment of severe inflammatory skin conditions.

How it works

1.

We do a brief consultation, review your skincare history, and decide which products/custom treatments are right for you. 

2.

We pick from our skincare line, Laurel, and use whichever products we think will suit your skin. What makes Laurel different? The line uses only 100% organic, raw, unrefined plant materials that guarantee freshness and efficacy. Simply the cleanest luxury skincare out there.

3.

After treatment, we recommend home care products, give samples, and recommend a return treatment schedule that works for you. 

4.

We typically see results in 2-3 months time from treatments and using products, but prepare to be extremely relaxed in all of your appointments. 

Skin Health Consultation:

Looking to get started on your skincare journey but not sure where to start? Don’t stress, we can help you every step of the way. Our licensed Facial Specialist will go through your skin type, skin needs, and current routine to help you get the most accurate skin care regimen for your needs.

Feel free to bring a list of products you already have, take a picture of them and the ingredients, or even bring them with you and we will happily analyze them with you.

Or better yet, book a New Patient Facial Treatment so that our esthetician can both feel your skin and see how it reacts to get the most accurate recommendations for your skin needs.

Feel free to call if you have any further questions about what our consultation involves.

New Patient Whole Plant Facial Treatment:

*Available with Katie, only.*

We believe in nurturing skin health, and in your first appointment with us, we aim to give you all of the tools to maintain it. For your fist appointment, we will spend roughly 25 minutes going over your current routine, and current skincare goals with Katie, who will then use that information to create a custom facial based on your individual skin needs.

Your facial will be comprised of: deep cleansing, exfoliation, steam and extractions*, custom mask, and skincare applications,

Your esthetician will recommend any additional add ons, like dermaplane, but this time will also all for any sampling and after-care recommendations.

60 Minute whole Plant Facial Treatment

We begin your 60 minute treatment with a 5 minute follow up consultation, and then by gentle cleansing, centering, and prepping the skin for exfoliation. We then use steam* and enzymes*, masks, and proper skin care product application to soothe the skin. Your treatment may also include extractions, as needed, but you will leave with glowing, happy, healthy skin. We use Laurel Skin for our Facial Treatments, which is a whole plant, small batch line from California.

This appointment time does not allow for any add ons, such as dermaplane, lip exfoliation, or brow tweezing. Please use the 75 Minute Whole Plant Facial Treatment option to book a dermaplane as part of your facial.

*We may not steam and use enzymes, only as your skin tolerates it.

75 Minute Whole Plant Facial Treatment

This is the ultimate Facial Treatment for the person wanting both the 60 Minute Facial Treatment and a single add on, like a dermaplane or brow tweeze.

This facial features all of the other calming, nurturing steps as the 60 minute facial (5 minute follow up consultation, and then gentle cleansing, centering, and prepping the skin for exfoliation.) We then oil dermaplane, typically with jojoba oil as the skin recognizes it the easiest, and follow with mask for your skin type.

Extractions will also be performed as needed, and then proper skin care product application to soothe the skin. You will leave with happy, glowing skin.

90 Minute Whole Plant Facial Treatment

We begin your 90 Minute Whole Plant Facial Treatment with a 5 minute follow up consultation, as we do our other Facial Treatments, and then by gentle cleansing, centering, and prepping the skin for exfoliation.

With this time, you can add on a dermaplane, brow tweeze, or any other 2 add on treatments. We may use steam* and enzymes*, masks, and proper skin care product application to soothe the skin.

Your treatment may also include extractions, as needed, but you will leave with glowing, happy, healthy skin. We use Laurel Skin for our Facial Treatments, which is a whole plant, small batch line from California.

This is the top tier of Facial Treatments, and is a favorite of our patients.

40 Minute Standalone Treatment Only

This is the ultimate Facial Treatment for the person on the go wanting either manual exfoliation or extractions only.

We will manually exfoliate via dermaplaning, which is the removal of superficial dead skin and vellus hair (peach fuzz).

This facial features a 5 minute follow up consultation, and then gentle cleansing, centering, and prepping the skin for exfoliation or extractions. We then oil dermaplane, typically with jojoba oil as the skin recognizes it the easiest, and follow with products best suited for your skin.

If we are extracting, we steam the skin and prep is for extractions. No masking or massaging are performed in this treatment. You will leave with happy, healthy, exfoliated or extracted skin.

We recommend dermaplane and extraction treatments once a month for regular skin maintenance.
