FAQs for the Esthetician

Our Esthetician often incorporates microcurrent into a follow-up facial, especially for non-invasive treatments like SWiCH™ that work with little downtime. The initial facial works deep within the skin’s layers to boost cellular energy (ATP production) and activate the natural repair mechanisms, without causing surface trauma. Microcurrent then acts like a “workout” for the face a few weeks later, toning facial muscles and boosting collagen and elastin production, which complements the internal rejuvenation process started by the initial treatment. 

The Oxygen Rx Treatment pairs very well and significantly enhances most facial treatments because of it’s gentle, nourishing, and detoxifying nature that complements treatments by boosting ingredient absorption, calming inflammation, fighting acne bacteria, and promoting healing. Oxygen treatments use pressurized oxygen to push serums deep into skin, boosting hydration, stimulating collagen, reducing fine lines, and creating an instant glow, making skin look plump, radiant, and revitalized, making it great for sensitive skin and pre-event pampering. Simply check your desired add-on(s) at the time of booking your appointment.

Rezenerate Nano-Infusion (nanotechnology) pairs exceptionally well with the The Viktoria DeAnn Anti-Aging Peptide Facial which includes red light therapy, as nano-sized ingredients enhance product penetration and delivery, while red light boosts cellular energy (ATP) and collagen, creating a synergistic effect that amplifies anti-aging and regenerative results by targeting skin at deeper levels than either method alone.

Free radicals cause oxidative stress that damage skin cells and speed up the aging process. They are unstable atoms or molecules generated by pollution, UV rays, tobacco smoke and other environmental toxins.

The Rezenerate Nanofacial™ also incorporates cold therapy and acupressure techniques which can further enhance the treatment. 

The Rezenerate wand creates microscopic channels in the skin’s outer layer, allowing high-quality serums and nutrients to penetrate more deeply and effectively than with traditional facials.

Nanotechnology in a broad concept is the study, manipulation, and application of materials and systems at the nanoscale, typically between 1 to 100 nanometers. 

Nanotechnology in skin care uses ultra-tiny particles (1-100 nanometers) to encapsulate active ingredients, such as ceramides, peptides, hyaluronic acid, retinoids, and others, allowing them to penetrate deeper into the skin for enhanced effectiveness, delivering ingredients like vitamins, antioxidants, and proteins where they’re needed most for real anti-aging and repair.

A non-surgical skin tightening treatment using a handheld device that combines Radio Frequency (RF) and infrared light to stimulate collagen, lift skin, and reduce wrinkles for a more toned, youthful appearance.

A massage technique in skincare using a smooth stone tool to gently massage the face and neck, encouraging the movement of stagnant lymphatic fluid. Dating back a thousand years, this technique is widely used today, not just in skincare, but in hospitals, the military, sports and more.

The galvanic current is a low-level, direct electrical current that creates a magnetic field to push water-soluble products (like serums) deep into the skin (Iontophoresis) or to help extract impurities (desincrustation).

Facial extractions are the deep-cleaning process of manually or mechanically removing blackheads, whiteheads, and other blockages (like dead skin, sebum) from clogged pores, performed by an esthetician to improve skin texture, clear congestion, and prevent acne, often using fingers with gauze or a steel comedone extractor tool. 

Microcurrent skincare uses low-level electrical currents to replicate the body’s natural signals, helping to stimulate facial muscles and skin cells. This promotes lifting, firming, and toning, giving your face an “electro-workout” to enhance cellular energy (ATP), collagen, and elastin for a youthful, sculpted appearance. Often referred to as a “non-surgical facelift,” this non-invasive treatment involves using handheld probes on the skin to deliver gentle impulses. These can help reduce fine lines, improve contours, and boost radiance, with minimal downtime.

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that play a critical role in the production of skin structural proteins such as collagen, elastin, and keratin, all of which are integral components of the skin matrix. These proteins are essential for enhancing the skin’s resilience, texture, and mechanical strength. Numerous studies indicate that while peptides can vary in composition and function, they universally exhibit significant skin-restorative properties, ranging from anti-inflammatory to firming actions.

Primarily a combination of Pyruvic Acid and Succinic Acid.

In simple terms, mitochondria are your cells’ power plants, converting food into usable energy (ATP) to fuel everything your body does, acting like tiny batteries that keep you alive, powering muscle movement, thinking, and growth, while also managing cell death and communicating with other cells,

Mitochondrial function in skincare means keeping skin cells’ “powerhouses” healthy to produce energy (ATP) for renewal, repair, and defense, preventing aging signs like wrinkles and dullness caused by energy decline and harmful free radicals (ROS), such as smoking, pollution, sun, processed foods, alcohol, and certain chemicals.

The SWiCH™ System stands out as a powerful leave-on solution, unlike typical acid-based treatments. Its active ingredient remains effective, delivering continuous repair and restoration for impressive results.

In skincare, controlled damage is a common philosophy behind methods that trigger the ability of the skin to heal itself when damaged. All of these methods produce some degree of tissue destruction, which incites the natural repair process within the skin. 

Custom serums (like peptides, antioxidants, or probiotics) are applied to address specific concerns (aging, hyperpigmentation, bacteria). Lipid complexes and moisturizers lock in hydration and repair the skin barrier.

Uneven skin tone, skin patches, dark spots, or sun damaged skin.

Specially formulated solution of chemical acid or blend of acids to exfoliate skin layers, targeting concerns like aging, acne, and pigmentation.

LightStim® LED Light Therapy is uses red or blue light (and other beneficial wavelengths like amber and infrared) for skin rejuvenation, collagen boosting, and reducing inflammation, stimulating natural healing and circulation, making it a key part of anti-aging and wellness treatments. As a combo treatment, wavelengths penetrate more effectively to boost cellular repair and collagen production. Simply check your desired add-on(s) at the time of booking your appointment.

The C2O2 component of the facial delivers pure oxygen and serums deep into the skin, stimulating collagen, speeding up cell turnover and dramatically improving circulation, and supporting the skin’s natural healing. Specifically, the CO2 signals red blood cells to release their oxygen to the skin tissue, which then boosts cellular metabolism, blood flow, and protein synthesis. This helps flush out waste, oil, and impurities from pores and supports the skin’s natural healing and collagen production. 

Known for drawing out toxins and excess oil from the skin, activated charcoal is used in many skincare treatments. It pulls dirt from deep within the pores, revealing cleaner, smoother skin, especially for those with oily or acne-prone skin.
