Microchanneling is a collagen induction therapy that creates thousands of tiny channels in the skin using ultra-fine needles. This process triggers your body's natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production. The treatment helps improve fine lines, acne scars, skin texture, and overall skin tone. It's less invasive than traditional microneedling with faster healing times.

Most clients see optimal results with 3-6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The exact number depends on your specific skin concerns and goals. Many clients notice improvement after just one treatment, with continued enhancement over the following months as collagen production increases. During your consultation, we'll create a personalized treatment plan based on your skin's needs.

Sugaring uses a natural paste made from sugar, lemon, and water that adheres only to hair and dead skin cells, not live skin. This makes it much gentler than traditional wax. The paste is applied at body temperature, reducing burn risk, and hair is removed in the natural direction of growth, minimizing breakage and ingrown hairs. It's also water-soluble, so cleanup is easy with just warm water.

Sugaring results typically last 4-6 weeks, often longer than traditional waxing. With regular treatments, many clients find their hair grows back finer and sparser over time. For best results, we recommend scheduling appointments every 4-6 weeks initially, then adjusting the frequency based on your individual hair growth patterns.

Magnetic permanent makeup removal uses advanced technology to safely lift pigments from the skin without laser or chemical peels. The process is gentler on surrounding tissue and works on all pigment colors, including those that are difficult to remove with traditional laser methods. The treatment gradually lightens the unwanted pigmentation over several sessions.

The magnetic removal process is significantly more comfortable than laser removal. Most clients describe the sensation as mild to moderate discomfort, similar to the original tattooing process. We use topical numbing cream to minimize any discomfort, and the treatment time is relatively short. Recovery is also faster with less swelling and irritation compared to laser methods.

Your consultation includes a thorough skin analysis, discussion of your concerns and goals, and a customized treatment plan. We'll review your medical history, current skincare routine, and any contraindications. You'll receive detailed information about recommended treatments, expected results, timeline, and aftercare. There's no pressure - we want you to feel completely informed and comfortable before proceeding.

Downtime varies by treatment. Microchanneling typically involves 24-48 hours of mild redness, similar to a sunburn. Sugaring has no downtime - you can return to normal activities immediately. Permanent makeup removal may involve slight swelling for 1-2 days. All treatments include detailed aftercare instructions to optimize healing and results.

Our aesthetic treatments are considered cosmetic and are typically not covered by insurance. However, we offer flexible payment plans and package deals to make treatments more accessible. We accept cash, credit cards, and offer financing options for larger treatment packages. During your consultation, we'll discuss all payment options available.

Pre-treatment instructions vary by service. Generally, avoid sun exposure, retinoids, and exfoliating treatments for several days before microchanneling. For sugaring, hair should be at least 1/4 inch long for best results. Avoid caffeine before all treatments to minimize sensitivity. We provide detailed pre-care instructions when you book your appointment to ensure optimal results.
