KMS SIGNATURE FACIAL INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING:

A traditional European style facial; Facials are a series of treatments meant to improve the look, feel, and composition of skin on the face and neck. A European facial is a basic treatment meant to generally improve the look of skin. A European facial is often considered a great “introductory” facial, as it uses basic and uncomplicated steps to provide glowing, healthy skin.

Though salons and spas may offer slight variations, many European facials follow a basic pattern. First, the skin is cleansed to remove traces of makeup and topical buildup. This is often followed by an exfoliating scrub to remove dead skin and encourage cell turnover. Steam may also be used to help release dirt and oils from deep within the pores. Steam may be applied with warm towels or a steam generator placed over the face.

At this point in a European facial, the spa technician may perform extractions of blackheads or white heads. Extractions can be somewhat painful, and may also cause redness that lasts for several hours. Although extractions can help improve the appearance of the skin, some people find them uncomfortable and distracting from the relaxing overall effect of a facial. Most technicians will be happy to skip the extraction portion of a facial if asked.

Some European facials follow the cleansing and extraction with a facial mask customized to match skin type. The mask is typically left on for 10-15 minutes, and the spa technician may massage the neck, hands, or feet during this time. After the mask is removed, a toner and moisturizer will be applied to prevent excessive drying that can occur after deep cleansing.

A European facial typically takes between 60-90 minutes, although less expensive “mini-facials” are often available and last about 30 minutes. Be certain to inform the spa of any allergies before the treatment begins, so they can adjust treatment options. Spa technicians will often perform a skin analysis before a European facial to ensure that the products used will benefit the client’s skin type and tone.

After a European facial, skin should feel refreshed and hydrated. Some people may notice a healthier glow or more even skin tone that can last for days or even weeks.

Plus a Laser Genesis treatment;

Laser Genesis Skin Therapy uses advanced science to achieve vibrant, even skin tone and smooth texture in both men and women. Light penetrates deeply into the skin where collagen is manufactured, stimulating an increase of new collagen production. Unlike harsher methods, this is done without destroying the upper layers of skin (non-ablative). The Laser Genesis procedure safely, discretely and effectively treats scars, uneven textures, fine line wrinkles and large pores. The result is skin with smoother texture and a healthier appearance. The skin is gently warmed during this procedure, and daily activities may be resumed right away. This is truly a rejuvenating experience with no downtime.

How Laser Genesis works:

Genesis skin rejuvenation employs laser light targeted to the dermis, the deeper layer of the skin, where collagen is made. The laser heats the dermis causing new collagen production that continues over time. The result is more even skin tone, tighter pores and a smoother skin texture. Laser also targets the microvasculature (tiny vessels) beneath the skin surface, decreasing diffuse redness and ruddy complexions.

What Laser Genesis is used for:

Laser Genesis improves the skin’s overall appearance, particularly on face, neck and chest, decreasing fine line wrinkles and restoring even skin tones. Laser Genesis evens out acne scarring and is particularly effective in combination with other treatments such as chemical peels. Genesis can also be used to improve the appearance of other scars anywhere on the body. Genesis tightens pores and improves skin texture, smooths ruddy complexions and diffuses excessive facial redness, including that caused by rosacea.
