DERMAL BRIGHTENING

Certain exfoliating treatments are “Stand-out” stars for the multitude of benefits a single treatment can offer. As with any exfoliation, the main goal is to assist our bodies natural process of sloughing-off the top-most layer of skin from your face or area of concern, our epidermal layer.

What is Dermal Brightening?

Dermal Brightening is a precise, highly effective form of superficial exfoliation that reverses the signs of aging by removing the dry micro-layer of skin. Vellus hair (peach fuzz) is also removed during the treatment. The immediate result is fresh, bright skin that has a smoother look and feel. Dermal Brightening also boosts the absorption rate of your skin care products. In our treatments, Dermal Brightening is the first stage of several of our custom facials depending on your skin type and tolerance for advanced treatments.

Kaarina Towey

I have been scared of facials my whole life, because I always break out. I was recommended Essential Spa after hearing amazing things about Steffanie and her work. You leave her spa with a start-up kit that lets you begin your transformation into using tried and tested products that are backed by science and not once did I break out using them. It’s been 4 months since I’ve been using Steffanie’s products and now only use a mineral tinted sunscreen as my daily “foundation”. My skin is so happy and I can’t wait to see what the next few months bring. I am over the moon that I discovered her studio and I highly recommend her!

Response from the owner: Thank you Kaarina, I am so glad your happy with your skin and your new products!💞
