The Halo Effect : Before and After

The trick to aging gracefully is to enjoy it . Living life to the fullest and feeling each experience with your heart and soul . My journey into the medical esthetic profession started out as a personal quest to “ fix or undo ” some of the damage that I had done to my skin in my 20 ' s . It wasn ' t until my early 30 ' s that I really started to notice the damage I had done over a decade , along with the other obvious signs of aging like the fine lines and wrinkles and loss of elasticity in my skin . I started researching and exploring treatment options and fell in love with the science of the skin . Medical esthetics has been my passion and profession for almost a decade now , and I have learned many things and grown with the ever evolving treatments , products , and modalities that help to enhance the health and beauty of the skin .

The heat absorbed by the targeted areas coagulates that tissue and it flakes off over a period of several days to two weeks . The cosmetic results are amazing , and we love the way it looks , but it also is a proactive way to combat any sun damaged tissue in the skin that may become a health issue in the future . What a great organic way to restore health and beauty to the skin ! It is a treatment that is effective for all areas of the body .
Skin Firming
Skin Firming utilizes infrared energy to deeply heat soft tissue while protecting the entire treated area with a sapphire cooling system . Targeted heating to this soft tissue causes a process that initiates the body ' s natural healing process , which is collagen production , resulting in firmer
