Chemical Peels don't have to be scary and in fact, they can produce some amazing results. Success lies in planning and preparing your skin for the treatments, and how you take care of your skin afterwards. We can talk about this before, during, and after your peels so you feel confident and aren't left wondering what you should do after you leave the studio. If you've met me before, you know I will make sure your questions are answered, and that you feel confident leaving with instructions on how to care for your skin! Peels can address and help improve signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation (darkening/discoloration of the skin), sun damage, acne, scarring, improve tone and texture issues, and more. Learning more about what you would like to focus on will help me determine the best course of action to take with your treatment plan.

It is important for us to discuss your skin goals, your skin health, and your timeline, which is why scheduling an advanced services consultation is requested. It is also important that your skin is prepared for a peel. By scheduling a consultation, I can make sure your skin is ready to receive the service and that you have supportive pre and post care products available to help prepare and restore your skin.

For best results, a series of 6 peels* is recommended. They can be a combination of formulas and are generally scheduled anywhere from 2-6 weeks apart depending on the formula.

A mini series of 3 superficial peels* can also produce some great results. These superficial peels are done every 2 weeks and some can even be scheduled with other modalities to enhance results. An example of an advanced modality that pairs well with a superficial peel is dermaplaning or microcurrent (depending on formula).

*When you book a series of 6 chemical peels (of any combination), you will receive one complimentary Post Peel Facial as the 7th appointment 4 weeks after your last peel. The 7th appointment facial (valued at $125) provides your skin with a healthy "tune-up" and offers the opportunity to make sure you are confident about your home care program and have the best supportive skincare products to maximize long-term results. To help with this, you will also receive a 10% discount on the purchase of any retail products.

Chemical peels are offered in different strengths and are designed to target different skin concerns. A peel solution is applied to the face or neck to remove the skin’s top layers to increase cell turnover rate. Depending on the skin condition, peels can be beneficial for improving the appearance of hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, texture issues, acne, scarring, photo-damage, rosacea and other signs of aging skin. Each chemical peel is selected for optimum results to help reveal fresher, younger looking skin. Some are stronger than others. Some have visible peeling, some do not. We will discuss which will be the best for for you. Often times in a series of peels, we may do more than one kind too!

Peels are advanced treatments that are NOT performed in a facial format. You'll lay on top of the treatment table and not under the covers as you might when you have a facial service)

TREATMENT IS PERFORMED PER PROTOCOL DESIGNED BY PEEL MANUFACTURER: Basic cleanse, degreasing prep solution, peel formula, moisturizing SPF, lip conditioner. 

*Any series of 6 Peels includes a bonus 7th Post-Treatment Facial to help support your results 4 weeks after your last peel.

If this is your first peel, it is recommended for you to schedule a consultation to allow us to discuss your goals, talk about your current skincare routine, and make sure we have a plan to prepare your skin to receive the solution before your first peel appointment.

There are several different peel formulas and strength levels available to target specific issues. Some are more superficial and may not cause shedding, and others are more advanced and may require some downtime as the skin sheds and regenerates:

Superficial Peels: These peels are great entry-level peels that require little to no downtime and are even more effective when booked as a series. They may be booked without a consultation and the peel type will be determined at the appointment. If you would like to schedule a consultation beforehand, we can make sure you're using products that will help prepare your skin. If you are not a good peel candidate, an alternate treatment will be offered. Just to be safe, please be sure to check out the "pre/post" treatment instructions prior to your appointment to make sure you do not have any health contraindications. 

5 SUPERFICIAL (LEVEL 1) PEEL FORMULAS ARE AVAILABLE TO ADDRESS THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:

• ORMEDIC LIFT: UNBALANCED, SENSITIVE OR DULL SKIN, (PEEL #1)

There is also a Glycolic Peel from Hylunia Skincare that is designed in a facial format which is great combination. This treatment helps to address lower grade breakouts and acne, as well as helps with removing blackheads and whiteheads from the skin. In addition, it can help to reduce the appearance of pore size and improve tone and texture of the skin. If performed as a series, it can also help also help reduce acne scaring. Depending on how long the solution is left on the skin will determine the peel's intensity and outcome as far as whether your skin will become a little flaky, or if you might actually experience some peeling.

Medium Peels: A complimentary consultation or Facetime call is required prior to booking a medium depth peel to determine whether your skin is ready for the service, if your home skincare plan is supporting the preparation of the upcoming treatments, and if you are a good candidate for these medium depth peels that do produce shedding and may require some downtime after the treatment.

THE PERFECTION PEEL AND THE THREE "FORTE FORMULAS" ARE ONLY AVAILALBLE AFTER A SERIES OF 3 SUPERFICIAL PEELS HAVE BEEN PERFORMED. THIS ENSURES YOUR SKIN HAS BEEN SAFELY PREPARED TO RECEIVE THE STRONGER FORMULAS.

Forte formula is for more extensive sundamage, hyperpigmentation, and aging skin. This formula will be the last peel in a series of 6.

Chemical Peels are an advanced esthetic treatment.

You will receive a hardcopy of any recommended post-care instructions at the time the service is performed.

Microcurrent: also known as "the lunchtime facelift" tightens and smooths the facial muscles and connective tissues by increasing cellular activity. There are 43 facial and 26 muscles in the neck that naturally lose their tone and firmness through aging. Microcurrent therapy treatment utilizes a low-grade electrical current to “train” all those muscles. It contours, tones, firms and lifts the muscles and the skin. The result is a healthier complexion that can help promote a more youthful look. Microcurrent facial contours, tones, firms and lifts the muscles and the skin, giving you a healthier complexion. The microcurrent encourages the production of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) which leads to the creation and stimulation of structural proteins like elastin and collagen. Collagen is the main protein that your body uses to build muscle which is why this treatment is like a workout for your face.This causes a release of natural skin enhancement chemicals at a cellular level. As a result, damaged skin starts to repair and the production of collagen is stimulated. It has been shown to reduce wrinkles, especially around the forehead, brows, cheeks, temples, nasolabial folds, and neck. Microcurrent is a great treatment to do prior to an event to give your skin a boost of extra tone and when paired with a facial, it can make skin look youthful and radiant. This treatment produces optimal results when performed in a series.

Microneedling is an advanced clinical treatment. A consultation is strongly recommended as there are pre-treatment instructions that must be followed for your safety and skin health. I have received an advanced certification to perform this clinical-focused treatment service and am strict about this policy.

Microneedling is also known as collagen induction therapy (CIT). It is performed with a pen-like device that is used to create tiny micro-injuries on the outermost layer of the skin to induce the production of collagen and elastin which in turn helps heal and to reduce the visibility of fine lines, wrinkles, lax or sagging skin, and scarring, as well as diminish hyperpigmentation (like sun damage). Skin tone and texture become improved and firmer, scar tissue is broken up and new skin is regenerated to reveal fresh, healthy, and younger looking skin. It is a game changer AND when performed as a series, microneedling is a buildable treatment that can help keep your collagen production activated beyond your appointment with proper maintenance and home care.

PLEASE ARRIVE WITH A CLEAN FACE TO MAXIMIZE YOUR APPOINTMENT TIME. THIS IS A CLINICAL ADVANCED TREATMENT - IT IS NOT A FACIAL. THIS TREATMENT REQUIRES TIME FOR THE TOPICAL NUMBING PRODUCT TO TAKE EFFECT PRIOR TO BEGINNING THE ACTUAL TREATMENT.

*IF YOU ARE ALLERGIC TO LIDOCANE, WE WILL BE UNABLE TO USE THE NUMBING CREAM.*

At your consultation, we may provide you with a topical numbing cream to apply in advance so you are ready for the service when you arrive. There is an option to Add-on 20 minutes of Red LED before or after your treatment. Doing LED before the treatment while you are waiting for the numbing product to work can help activate and boost the cells to prepare your skin for the collagen induction therapy. Adding LED after your service helps speed cellular repair and recovery.

Results may be noticed after one session, however, depending on your skin condition and goals, it may be recommended to schedule a series of 3-6 sessions four weeks apart to remodel the collagen and produce the best results.

A complimentary consultation is required and can be booked online, or you can contact Melissa directly at 206.715.6303. For existing clients who have received a facial or other treatment within the past 2 months, an in-person consultation may not be required, and a phone call or facetime conversation may suffice. Please visit www.okyskinandwax.com "pre/post" tab to ensure you do not have any restricting contraindications.

Radio Frequency Skin Tightening: Also called RF Therapy, is a safe, non-surgical, and effective FDA approved treatment for nearly all skin types. The treatment involves using energy waves to heat skin to a bearable 104.7 degrees Fahrenheit (38-40 degrees Celsius to stimulate collagen and elastin synthesis. The temperature is safely monitored with a digital thermometer. Research has found that RF therapy can be effective at treating mild to moderate signs of aging such as wrinkles and lax skin around the neck, jawline and around the nose and mouth area. Depending on how advanced the aging is in the area to be treated, this energy-based bio-stimulative treatment generally requires a series of sessions 2 times per week for the first month in order to produce the best results for many clients. Thereafter, a monthly maintenance session will help maintain the results. It is recommended to schedule a complimentary consultation to discuss your skin goals and realistic expectations from the treatments.

The RF Skin Tightening session focuses on your choice of the facial or neck area. Facial areas include: forehead, cheeks, nasal labial folds, or jowl area. Neck area includes directly under the chin, sides of neck and excludes thyroid and tracheal area.

Turn back time by tightening and toning the face or neck area without needles or surgery. This treatment provides two powerful, non-invasive advanced modalities that work together to tone and tighten the face or neck area of your choice. This advanced service can produce some visible results after one session if you are looking to boost your skin before an event or party (for short term results), but is really designed to be a buildable treatment when implemented on a schedule of 2 times per week for 4 weeks (to one month commitment) to produce longer term results that can be maintained on a monthly basis after a series. Although it is a time commitment coming to the studio for treatments during the first month, after the skin is trained and maintained, it provides long term benefits that are a great natural alternative to more invasive services or procedures like botox, fillers, and other anti-aging services that may require downtime or surgery. Please note that for some clients with more advanced signs of aging or loose/lax skin may require more sessions to achieve optimal results prior to the maintenance sessions. If that is the case, we will work with you to provide the most realistic treatment plan possible. 

Microcurrent a painless treatment that uses electric microcurrent waves to tighten, tone, and smooth the facial muscles and connective tissues by increasing cellular activity. This relaxing treatment has been shown to visibly reduce wrinkles, especially around the forehead and temples and lift the brows. It is also known as the “lunchtime facelift”. This is one of Melissa's favorite advanced treatments because there are 3 different ways we can perform this service and it can really life and wake up the facial muscles - like Botox without the needles!

Radio Frequency Skin Tightening uses energy in the form of heat to tighten the underlying skin structure and contour the face to create firm, toned and youthful looking skin. During the treatment, the RF machine will heat skin to a bearable 104.7 degrees Fahrenheit (38-40 degrees Celsius). This treatment boosts collagen and elastin synthesis, which is what makes radiofrequency especially suitable for targeting loose skin around the neck and chin, as well as wrinkles and lines that develop between the nose and mouth.

These modalities performed as a team, build dynamic anti-aging benefits; especially when performed in a series and with regular "workouts" for your facial muscles and skin. They work cumulatively, so you will see a difference over the long-term if you continue with maintenance treatments. Additionally, a single session is also an excellent treatment option to do at least 3 days prior to an event to give your skin a youthful boost. NOTE: some clients with advanced signs of aging or more lax skin may require more sessions to achieve optimal results.
