Skin Health & Rejuvenation

HYDRAFACIAL

  • The best of the best!
    One of our most popular services at Lush Beauty Studio, the Hydrafacial is a multi-step facial treatment that will leave your skin feeling nourished and rejuvenated. This patented device uses tips that act as a vacuum to open pores and remove dead skin cells & impurities, while infusing the skin with essential nutrients like antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid.

    Each treatment is customized to your skin's specific needs and can help with a variety of skin concerns. It helps clear congested pores, smooth fine lines + wrinkles, and hydrate + plump the skin. The result is radiant, hydrated skin with no downtime.

    We offer 3 different Hydrafacial treatment options, so you can choose the best one to fit your needs.
    Please see below for the descriptions of these options.

    Our most popular option to achieve the ultimate glow up!

  • YES!
    The Hydrafacial treatment is designed for ALL skin types. Even the most sensitive skin can easily tolerate the Hydrafacial treatment. Our providers at Lush Beauty Studio will evaluate your specific skin concerns and customize the treatment for your unique needs.

  • The Hydrafacial is one of Lush Beauty Studio's most tried and true treatments. The spiral design of the Hydrafacial Tips, used in conjunction with the Hydrafacial proprietary vacuum technology and serums, creates a vortex effect to easily dislodge and remove impurities while simultaneously delivering hydrating skin solutions. The sensation has been compared to the light feeling of a cat’s tongue against the skin as the Hydrafacial works its magic. It delivers long-term skin health and offers instant, noticeable results with no downtime or irritation.

  • There is absolutely no pain or downtime involved with this treatment. The Hydrafacial is a quick, easy, no-downtime treatment that will get you back to your normal routine in no time - but with the glowiest skin of your life! You can resume your typical daily activities, put makeup on, etc. immediately after treatment if needed.

  • Results are immediately noticeable following treatment and will continue to get even better over the next few days. Many clients report seeing visible skin refinement and an even, radiant skin tone after just one treatment. These results and hydration may last 5 to 7 days, sometimes longer, and are especially great before special events.

    Typically, one treatment every 4-6 weeks is advised to keep skin glowing and improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and congested skin. Continued Hydrafacial treatments are highly recommended to maintain skin health results.

  • Hydrafacial Perks are the perfect addition to both our Signature and Deluxe Hydrafacial. These perks use a patented roller-flex technology to suction out dirt, oil, and dead skin cells. Add one or both perks to your treatment to gently cleanse and hydrate the most delicate parts of the face - the eyes and lips. Patients will receive a take-home perk product to enhance treatment and extend results.

    The Lip Perk is a revitalizing treatment that exfoliates, hydrates, and lightly plumps your lips.

    The Eye Perk is a refreshing treatment that leaves the delicate eye area firm, toned, and hydrated.

DERMAPLANE

  • Dermaplaning is a great treatment to reveal and smoother, brighter complexion for those with dull, lifeless skin by removing peach fuzz, dead skin cells, and bacteria that builds upon the skin’s surface. It is recommended for all skin types - especially those with fine lines, dry, and dull skin. If you have active acne or acne prone skin, we recommend waiting until breakouts are clear so bacteria does not spread across the face.

    Dermaplaning:

    • Softens rough skin

    • Leaves skin looking and feeling smooth

    • Brightens skin tone

    • Improves superficial hyperpigmentation

    • Helps improve the appearance of mild scars

    • Softens the appearance of fine lines + wrinkles

    • Helps skincare products penetrate the skin easier and perform more effectively

    • Helps makeup apply more evenly and smoothly

    Additionally, dermaplaning pairs well with and allows many other treatments to penetrate the skin and work more efficiently.

  • A dermaplane treatment can be added on to many other treatments to enhance efficacy. At Lush Beauty Studio, we often recommend adding a dermplane to:

    • Hydrafacial

    • Microneedling

    • Chemical Peel

    • Wrinkle Relaxers

    • Some Laser Treatments

    By removing any vellus hair and dead skin cells, any treatment results following a dermaplane will be enhanced.

  • There is no downtime with dermaplaning. Some light redness may be seen, but not always. Typically, most patients can return to their daily activities immediately following treatment without anyone knowing.

  • Dermaplaning will NOT cause your hair to grow back darker or thicker. Rest assured, this is a common myth that has been debunked many times. When hair starts to grow back, it might feel different as it was cut straight across; however, it’s actually the same texture as before treatment and grows at the same speed. If you choose to stop getting dermaplane treatments, your hair will simply return to the same state it was prior to any treatment.

  • The smooth, glowing skin you experience after a dermaplane treatment can last up to 4 weeks. Your skin is constantly regenerating, so we recommend scheduling a dermaplane appointment every 4 to 6 weeks to maintain results.

  • The rise in popularity of dermaplaning - whether done professionally or at home - is no secret. The biggest difference is that DIY dermaplane razors at home will not give you the same results or outcome as a professional treatment. Over-the-counter dermaplane razors may remove unwanted peach fuzz, but they won’t get to the same exfoliation level as a professional dermaplane service.

    The main concern with at-home dermaplane treatments is improper use and skin health. It’s important to make sure you have the proper skincare products to apply after dermaplaning so your skin health stays intact. The overuse of at-home dermaplaning can also lead to over-exfoliation, which then leads to breakouts and a compromised skin barrier.

    Professional Dermaplaning exfoliates the epidermis, while removing peach fuzz, with a surgical blade. If you have excess hair, receiving a dermaplaning treatment will likely be more effective than shaving at home. Professional dermaplaning removes dirt and oil buildup in your hair follicles and also provides much better exfoliation, which leads to a smoother and brighter complexion.

SKINPEN MICRONEEDLING

  • SkinPen works by creating a series of hundreds of microscopic channels into the dermis to stimulate the skin’s natural production of new collagen and elastin, helping skin to look and feel healthier.

  • After skin is cleansed, a topical numbing cream will be applied for approximately 15-20 minutes prior to treatment for maximum comfort. Clients typically describe a slight vibrating sensation from the microneedling device. Immediately following treatment, your skin will feel like you have a moderate sunburn and may feel warmer and tighter than usual. This is completely normal and will usually subside within 2-4 hours, with mostly full recovery in 24 hours.

  • Microneedling is most commonly done on the face, but it can also be done on the neck, legs, stomach, or any other areas you notice damaged or aging skin.

  • The total healing time for SkinPen microneedling depends on each individual. Most patients will have redness and some slight swelling, similar to moderate sunburn, for about 24 hours following treatment. Some patients may also experience mild peeling or flaking as well in the days following treatment.

  • The natural repair process of your own skin will continue to progress over the course of several weeks. More severe skin issues, such as deep acne scars that have occurred over an extensive period of time, won’t disappear immediately. You may not see the final result for up to three months following your final session.

    The number of treatments required will be based upon your individual goals and the overall health of your skin. We typically recommend starting with a series of 3 SkinPen treatments, each spaced about a month apart, for best results. After the series, we can re-evaluate to see if additional treatments would be recommended.

    Individual results will vary.

  • A platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment involves drawing blood from the arm just like a standard blood draw at the doctor’s office. This blood sample is then placed into a centrifuge, which separates the plasma from the red and white blood cells. Plasma contains a high concentration of stem cells, platelets, and growth factors to help stimulate collagen and elastin production.

    PRP can be applied to the skin following a microneedling treatment. We can also microneedle the PRP directly into the skin. When PRP is used along with microneedling, it essentially supercharges the microneedling benefits for optimal skin rejuvenation.

  • Adding PRP to microneedling can address a multitude of skin concerns, such as:

    • Acne scars

    • Fine lines and wrinkles

    • Sun spots

    • Discoloration

    • Age spots

    • Uneven skin tone

    PRP therapy made its mark in orthopedic circles, helping patients overcome soft-tissue injuries more quickly by increasing healing resources. We use this same technique for your skin, helping your connective tissue rebuild and renew itself. With PRP therapy, we isolate your platelets, which contain powerful growth factors, and redirect them into your skin where they go to work on repairs and structural support.

    One of the most impressive benefits of microneedling with PRP is that we’re able to deliver results that last. Because we’re tapping your body’s own resources to rebuild from the inside out, your skin benefits from long-term, natural-looking results.

VI CHEMICAL PEELS

  • The VI Peel treatment itself is a relatively quick process. At your appointment, the skin will be cleansed and the VI Peel will be applied. You may experience slight warmness and/or tingling in the beginning, but this should quickly subside. Besides that, VI Peel treatments are virtually painless!

    Immediately after the peel, skin will look quite orange and glowy. This will need to be left on the skin for 4 hours post treatment, so it’s important to plan accordingly. After 4 hours, you will rinse off the peel and follow up with the provided instructions.

  • Retinoic Acid is a powerhouse acid that inhibits melanin production and increases cell turnover. Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) targets signs of aging by exfoliating the skin and boosting collagen production. Salicylic Acid prevents inflammation by killing bacteria, suppressing sebum production, and cleansing the pores. Phenol is the secret weapon that numbs the skin and allows for a painless application. Finally, Ascorbic Acid is a powerful antioxidant that protects against free radicals, evens skin tone, and helps prevent future skin damage.

    These blended peels are superior to single-acid peels as they have the ability to not only address your primary concern, but will simultaneously address any secondary skin issues as well.

  • Lush Beauty Studio carries a variety of VI Peel options that are targeted toward different skin concerns. At your appointment, we will assess your skin and help determine which VI Peel option is best for you!

  • Yes! All of our VI Peel treatments are safe and effective for ALL skin tones. Inclusivity is central to the VI Peel brand and mission, and all Vitality Institute products are created with skin of color in mind.

  • Everyone’s skin is different, so the number of peels needed for desired results varies from person to person, and from skin condition to skin condition. While just a single peel will achieve significant skin rejuvenation, such as less pigment, smoother skin texture, and brighter, more glowy skin overall, a series of at least 3 peels is generally recommended for optimal results.

  • Purging or mild breakouts after a VI Peel is completely normal! This type of acne purging can happen after any exfoliating treatment, as the treatment increases cellular turnover, not only lifting dead skin cells but also allowing for any congestion that is trapped beneath the skin to come to the surface. It's important to remember that your acne may seem to get worse before getting better, and you may need multiple VI Peel treatments to resolve your acne. Purging of the skin will reduce with subsequent peels as congested pores become cleared.

  • While everyone is a little bit different, your skin may look smooth, tight, and radiant the first day or two following the VI Peel treatment. In general, you will start peeling on or around day two or three and can expect to peel for about three or four days afterward. Depending on the condition of the skin, some may peel for more or fewer days.

    It is also possible that you may not experience much or any peeling at all. Please note that even if you don’t see any peeling with the naked eye, the VI Peel is still working for you and exfoliating at a cellular level to brighten and improve the skin’s appearance.

  • POST-TREATMENT

    • No makeup or skincare products may be applied within the first 4 hours of treatment.

    • Refrain from exercise for at least 72 hours after treatment to prevent any blistering in the skin or Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH). If you are prone to pigment or melasma, it’s suggested to refrain from exercise for the entire peeling process so as to not induce heat or inflammation in the skin that can lead to further damage.

    • Be sure to follow the instructions on the pamphlet provided after the VI Peel.

    • DO NOT pull on the skin that is shedding. If necessary, it is recommended to use a clean, small cuticle scissor to trim the exfoliating skin. You can also wash the face very gently to help remove the hanging skin but be sure to not rub excessively.

    • If washing the face multiple times a day, be sure to add moisture back to the skin by applying the provided Post Treatment Repair Cream and use the VI Dermal SPF 50+ to protect the skin during and after the exfoliation process.
