What are some alternatives to Botox and injectables?

There are many ways to lift, tighten and firm the skin using holistic skincare modalities. While these modalities do not get the same results as fillers and freezers, they do have long-lasting benefits that have minimal-to-no risk, are affordable, and highly effective for most every skin type.

Gua Sha facial sculpting and massage, LED light therapy and Microchanneling (a gold-star game changer for the skin!) are all our favorites.

Does microchanneling require downtime?

After a treatment, you may experience slight redness and sun sensitivity for 24 hours. Within 48 hours, you can resume your usual skincare and outdoor activities/exercise. Book your Complimentary Consultation to learn how Microchanneling can rejuvenate your skin!

Do you offer anti-aging facials?

We believe in aging healthfully versus attempting to reverse all aging. Our services increase skin health and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, loose and sagging skin, and scarring. Start with our b theory Custom Facial to boost your skin’s overall health and radiance, then let us curate a custom treatment plan, including an at-home routine, that will help you achieve your skincare goals.

How often should I be getting facials?

We get asked this all of the time. The short answer is every 4 to 6 weeks. That timing is based on the skin’s cellular turn-over of fresh cells every 28 plus days. That number increases with age, hence the 4 to 6 weeks. If that seems like too much, we recommend seeing our clients at a minimum of quarterly – refreshing the skin with the changing season. Ideally, we’d take this opportunity to update your daily skincare routine to meet the needs of your skin adjusting to those seasonal changes.

How often should I be getting a Gua Sha facial?

If you want to see the beautiful results Gua Sha can offer, then we need a commitment to more visits initially before we settle into the 4-to-6 week schedule. We recommend coming in for a professional treatment either weekly or every other week for five treatments then adjusting to facials on the monthly or every six week schedule. Keeping up with some key Gua Sha techniques at home with your own tool is a cinch (and very relaxing at the end of a long day) with our online tutorial. We recommend working with your Gua Sha tool at home at least 3 days a week to keep your skin hydrated, toned and vibrant. Our b Theory Custom Facial is the perfect introduction to the sculpting and toning benefits of this ancient skincare practice.

What ingredients help brighten melasma and dark spots/pigmentation?

There are a lot of products available to help lighten dark spots and reduce areas of pigmentation caused by conditions such as melasma. Our first go to is a potent Vitamin C serum used daily. Vitamin C brightens, tightens and tones the skin. We carry Glow C+ Serum by Green Envee. It is a brightening powerhouse with 20% active Vitamin C and Ferulic acid, a potent antioxidant which boosts the benefits of Vitamin C as it also helps to lighten pigmentation.

Glycolic acid is another of our favorite ingredients for helping with pigmentation, especially melasma. Kick start the brightening process with a b Theory Custom Facial, which includes a botanical glycolic and/or lactic peel, then treat at home weekly with a potent glycolic mask. We highly recommend the Pumpkin Glycolic Peel 3% masque from Green Envee for weekly home use. This masque also reduces the appearance of fine lines as it stimulates cell renewal.
