Signature European Facials

Signature European Facials are 50 minute facials that achieve various outcomes based on the needs of the spa guest.  Spa guests can choose from the following facials in this category:

BIOELEMENTS CUSTOM BLEND FACIAL
There’s no facial more personalized to your needs than this. Each step is a fusion of science, natural botanicals, aromatherapist oils and luxurious techniques customized with clinical strength ingredients uniquely designed to deliver results. The first step begins with an individualized SkinReading® to determine your concerns and skin goals, followed by invigorating cleansing, exfoliation and skin sedation, a custom blended aromatherapeutic facial massage, plus a power treatment and mask targeted to your concerns.

ULTIMATE DETOX FACIAL
Press “refresh” on your skin with this instant rescue facial anytime you’re in need of a deep detox. We’ll start with a one-on-one SkinReading® to assess your individual needs, then customize your treatment right from the start. A deep-down cleanse and exfoliation to help purge impurities will be followed by a detoxing mask to filter out skin-stressing toxins with vitamin C and activated coconut charcoal.

CALMING FACIAL
Gentle massage techniques are paired with the clinical rednessreducing, skin-calming ingredients in Bioelements award-winning Calmitude® products to help even the most delicate, upset, and
sensitive skin rebalance and renew. Relieving redness as it comforts, this complete treatment is the ultimate oasis for stressed, irritated skin. Ideal for skin in need of nourishment post-op.

DEPIGMENTING AND BRIGHTENING FACIAL
Make evening out skin tone and fading dark spots a priority with this high-tech facial that features more-than-max levels of skin brighteners with proven results. It starts with a thorough skin cleansing followed by an exfoliation treatment custom blended just for you. Next, a clinical-strength LightPlex® GigaWatt Dark Spot Corrector is penetrated deep into skin where dark spots are formed. To finish, you’ll experience an activated charcoal mask to penetrate the active ingredients. It’s the perfect treatment to help you attain even-toned, brighter skin.

FIRM AND LIFT FACIAL
A one-of-a-kind treatment designed to lift and sculpt the look of sagging, aging skin. A SkinReading® consultation will evaluate your most urgent concerns, followed by deep cleansing and exfoliation to prepare your skin for clinical ingredients. We’ll intensify the treatment with an application of our powerfully active Bioelements Flaxx-C Firming Mask, designed to lift, tighten and firm the feel of skin. You’ll see and feel the renewing benefits immediately, as poor elasticity, dullness and lines improve.

CHINESE HERBOLOGY FACIAL
A one-of-a kind, dual-action retexturizing facial to deliver both physical and chemical exfoliation with Bioelements cult-favorite Chinese Herbology. You’ll experience a complete exfoliating facial featuring these ancient herbal granules to first sweep away dulling cells, then melt into skin, releasing natural AHAs. You’ll emerge with skin that’s smoother, brighter and completely revitalized.

ACNE CLEARING FACIAL
An absolute must whether you have stubborn chronic acne, hormonally induced breakouts or simply clogged pores and blackheads. This treatment begins with a personal SkinReading®, followed by deep pore cleansing and exfoliation to target any breakouts, and a salicylic acid medicated power treatment and sulfur Amino Mask with enzymes, AHA’s, antioxidants, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory ingredients. Make this effective treatment a part of your continuing fight against acne.

BIOELEMENTS FACIAL FOR MEN
A customized treatment designed to keep your skin looking its very best. It begins with a Bioelements SkinReading, followed by a deep cleansing and exfoliation to target any breakouts, blackheads and ingrown hairs.

You’ll emerge looking and feeling like a million.

Chemical Resurfacing Facial

Spa Greenville NC

Spa guests can choose from the following 50 minute chemical peels and advanced enzyme treatments to dramatically aid in achieving the spa guest’s specific skin care goals:

BIOELEMENTS ULTRA-DETOX CHEMICAL PEEL
The skin you want is under the skin you see. Reveal it with our powerful, non-surgical acid-hybrid peel. You’ll undo years of visible damage and premature age signs – without the redness, flaking, or
actual “peeling” of the skin from a traditional peel. Our advanced peel technology removes the uppermost layers of the skin at a microscopic level, to immediately tighten, unclog pores, improve lines and leave skin with a younger, velvety-smooth texture. Plus, you’ll benefit from detoxifying activated charcoal to draw out aging impurities. Best results achieved with a series of treatments – your student esthetician will choose from two different glycolic acid levels to meet your skin’s needs each time.

POWERFUL SURFACE PEEL
Your skin’s introduction to a peel begins here. Potent but gentle lactic acid, plus exfoliating pumpkin fruit acids and stimulating pomegranate zero in on premature age signs, with zero recovery
downtime. Ideal for inflamed breakout-prone skin, surface wrinkles, and even post-acne dark spots. You’ll see an increase in hydration, as skin emerges visibly clearer, brighter and less lined. Achieve the best results with a series of treatments.

BIOELEMENTS ENZYME EXFOLIATION TREATMENT
Dramatically aid the removal of aging dead cells, awaken dull skin and target pores with this active enzyme treatment that’s ideal for all skin types – even sensitive. Your esthetician will choose the enzyme or peel for your skin’s exact needs, formulated with active ingredients including papain, papaya and pineapple enzymes, and stimulating cinnamon. See noticeably improved skin that’s smoother, energized, and radiant.

Microdermabrasion & Facial

Microdermabrasion Greenvillle NC

Microdermabrasion is one of the 3 most popular dermatology treatments in the US. Spa guests receive a Signature European Facial in addition to a microdermabrasion treatment.

Microdermabrasion removes dead, flaking skin and stimilates the production of new skin cells and collagen. Alexander Paul Institute utilized medical grade crystals which are much more effective and safe than diamonds used in many budget microdermabrasion units. Microdermabrasion is ideal for:

• Minimizing Fine Lines and Wrinkles
• Treating Hyper-pigmentation
• Minimizing the Appearance of Acne Scars, Chicken Pox Scars, or Other Scars
• Minimizing the Appearance of Stretch Marks

The result is a more toned, revitalized body.

Add-Ons to Facial Services

GALVANIC TREATMENT
The Galvanic Treatment uses a mild electric current to stimulate, refresh, and rejuvenate the skin.  It allows beneficial skin care products used in the facial to penetrate the deeper layers of skin for enhanced benefit. Referred to as a “non-surgical facelift”, adding a galvanic treatment to a facial smooths fine lines and wrinkles, tightens muscles, and increases blood circulation to nourish the skin cells.  This is recommended for individuals with very oily skin and acne.

HIGH FREQUENCY TREATMENT
The high frequency treatment uses high frequency current to gently stimulate the skin, inclrease blood flow, and aid in product penetration into the skin. High Frequency treatments can be especially valuable to spa guests that need deeper penetration of skin care products, that are sensitive to facial massage, that have post-operative skin or recent scar tissue, and that have loose or flaccid skin.
