Thought about having a PCA Chemical Peel Facial – but not sure? Have some questions? Wondering about the prices? Read on for everything you need to know about our PCA Chemical 28 Peel Facials. estheticians help you decide. How much down time will I have after a chemical peel? One of the biggest differences between a PCA peel and a medical grade peel that you might have in a doctor's office, has to do with “down time.” With most of our chemical peels you will have little to no down time. At most, you may experience very mild redness and some minor peeling and flaking for 3 to 5 days. Will chemical peels remove sun damage? The sun is the leading cause of fine lines and wrinkles, and these can be prevented with a healthy skincare regimen. Chemical peels remove the layer of skin that is affected by sun damage to leave behind a fresh and smooth layer. Ask Margaret... What about age spots? Age spots can be difficult to hide under makeup, but chemical peels can help reduce pigmentation and even out your skin tone. Will a chemical peel help my acne? If you're suffering from acne, a chemical peel can be a valuable part of your treatment program. I hate my fine lines! Will a chemical peel help get rid of them? Chemical peels help greatly to reduce the appearance of fine lines around the eyes and mouth. How long does a chemical peel take? The entire peel process takes about 20 minutes. You will be in and out of the spa in less than a half hour. Is it painful? No, you may feel heat, tingling, or prickling sensations. The deeper the peel you have the more activity you may feel. How much do they cost? The prices vary somewhat depending on exactly which formula is used and how many “layers” are applied. Generally most peels cost $160 per treatment when purchased individually. However, since most peel treatments are most effective when completed in a series of six peels with each peel spaced six weeks apart, Incentives developed a peel package to make getting your peels even easier and more affordable. When purchased in a package of 6 each peel is discounted $20 a piece – that's a savings of $120 for the series and in addition you receive a FREE post peel kit at your first appointment. The total package is payable in full at $840 or can be paid in four monthly installments of $210. Convinced? Stop by or call today to book your appointment. Still not sure?

Good question! The weather outside may be frightful but your skin doesn't have to be!! For many people winter brings unbearable dryness and redness to exposed skin. Cold winds and indoor heat cause irritation and dehydration to the skin causing fine lines to look Margaret Rose-Duffy their worst! Here are five recommendations that will keep your skin moist and healthy through the winter months. 1) Switch from a gel cleanser to a creamy cleanser in cooler weather. Eminence has several wonderful milky cleansers that deliver clean, soft, and well hydrated skin. 2) Consider switching to a more emollient moisturizer and apply twice a day. 3) Add some serums to you routine. They have smaller molecules than moisturizers and penetrate deeper than your moisturizer will. In winter I especially love the Herbal Recovery Oil by Eminence. It leaves your skin hydrated and feeling dewy! 4) Keep applying sunscreen! Winter sun is just as damaging for your skin as summer sun and glare off snow can increase damage. 5) Use humidifiers in your home. Humidifiers put moisture into the air to help prevent your skin from drying out. I especially recommend them at night while you are sleeping. 6) Monthly facials will gently remove dry dead skin cells that clog pores and stop products from penetrating. Soothing and moisturizing treatments by eminence will deliver hydration back to your skin to keep you looking youthful and glowing during those long winter months. If you would like to discuss a winter routine for your skin and receive a complimentary skin analysis along with a thorough cleansing and moisturizing with an esthetician just give us a call at 8933490. At this time we can also make product recommendations that are just right for you. Heidi Manzo is the Manager of Incentives organic Spa & Salon.
