Summer Skin Saviors
Have the BBQ’s, pool time, golf, tennis, hikes, and all the other wonderful outdoor activities left your skin looking dull and weathered? It’s no secret that our skin needs a little rejuvenation after all of the fun in the sun! As summer comes to an end, it’s not too early to map out your game plan. Be sure to schedule an appointment for a customized plan. 
Must Have Products:

Antioxidants: If you are looking to turn back the clock, antioxidants like vitamins C and A neutralize free radical damage and actually stimulate cellular regeneration.



If you are new to using a retinol, start with The Essentials Reset & Rewind Retinol Cream

More advanced with retinols? Try one of our RX strength creams. Consult with your Aesthetician during your next visit to see which is best for you.
Must Have Treatments:

IPL – A Photofacial treatment is a series of gentle intense pulsed light (IPL) treatments developed to improve the appearance of sun damaged and aged skin, as well as reduce redness and flushing, resulting in more youthful-looking skin.

Advanced Chemical Peel – A medium depth peel is recommended twice each year and requires a 5-7-day recovery time.


IPL a.k.a PhotoFacial and chemical peels are two of the best procedures to reverse sun damage. Because sun exposure is not allowed after treatments, we recommend these in the Fall and winter months. Often times we need to pre-treat the skin, so be sure to schedule a 30 minute evaluation and get your customized game plan on your calendar!

Wellness Article


Your brain is a garden, the greatest garden you could ever grow. It needs fertilizer, irrigation, pest control, and the weeds (toxic thoughts) need to be replaced with positive ones. The brain is most affected by what you eat.

2 cups blackberries
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
3 kiwi fruit, peeled & sliced
1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest

1 cup cranberries 
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 empty watermelon shell
