With an array of anti aging facials tailored to meet the unique needs of every skin type, we understand that choosing the perfect treatment can be a journey in itself.

 

Whether you're looking to revive your skin's youthful glow, diminish fine lines, or restore firmness and elasticity, our expert team is here to guide you through our carefully curated selection of treatments. Join us as we explore which anti aging facials are the ideal choice for you, ensuring your skin receives the personalized care it deserves.

 

HydraFacial

HydraFacials are incredibly popular and for good reason. For our HydraFacial in Asheville, we include three steps to cleanse, exfoliate and hydrate your skin. The first step is a peel that cleanses the skin and uncovers a new layer of skin.

 

From there we extract debris from the pores using a gentle and painless suction. The skin will then be nourished with moisturizers and then we saturate the surface of your skin with antioxidants and peptides for maximum glow.

 

A HydraFacial not only plumps and hydrates the skin, but they also can improve skin tone and texture, unclog pores, boost collagen production and brighten the overall appearance of your skin. We offer several levels of HydraFacial, and you also can add dermaplaning and an eye or lip perk to this facial for complete rejuvenation.

 

We offer several HydraFacial options, including our Signature 45-minute HydraFacial, and the Deluxe HydraFacial, which is a 60-minute treatment. Our deepest treatment is the Platinum HydraFacial, which takes about 75 minutes and provides an ultimate level of rejuvenation and relaxation.

 

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a popular non-invasive cosmetic procedure renowned for its anti-aging benefits. This gentle exfoliation technique utilizes a device to remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells from the epidermis.

 

By promoting the skin's natural rejuvenation process, microdermabrasion effectively minimizes the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and age spots, leading to smoother, healthier-looking skin.

 

Additionally, it enhances the skin's absorption of skincare products and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, further amplifying its youthful radiance. Suitable for most skin types, microdermabrasion offers a safe and effective way to achieve a refreshed and revitalized complexion with minimal downtime.

 

Microcurrent Facials

If you’ve been searching for a “microcurrent facial near me,” you aren’t alone. This facial is one of the most popular options at our Asheville spa. Microcurrent facials are a cutting-edge anti-aging treatment that harnesses low-level electrical currents to stimulate the muscles beneath the skin, essentially giving the face a "workout."

 

This non-invasive procedure promotes the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which drives the creation of collagen and elastin—key proteins responsible for maintaining skin's elasticity and firmness. As a result, microcurrent facials can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, enhance facial contours, and improve skin tone and texture, leading to a more youthful and revitalized complexion.

 

Beyond its anti-aging benefits, this facial is praised for its ability to improve circulation and encourage lymphatic drainage, contributing to a healthier, more glowing skin. With no downtime required, microcurrent facials are a popular choice for those seeking a natural method to rejuvenate and lift the skin.

 

CIT Nano Infusion

Collagen is a naturally occurring substance in our skin that helps hydrate the skin and provides elasticity. As we age, we produce less and less collagen leading to fine lines, wrinkles and crepey skin. CIT (Collagen Induction Therapy) nano infusion facials are a skincare treatment aimed at addressing specific skin concerns like wrinkling, fine lines, pigmentation, and scarring.

 

Unlike microneedling, which we do offer, but is more invasive, nano infusion facials are non-invasive and do not harm the skin in this way. The process involves the use of a device, often referred to as a Nano Pen, which contains tiny needles that vibrate at high frequencies. These needles create microscopic channels in the top layer of the skin, allowing for more efficient and effective absorption of skincare products.

 

This treatment is designed to deliver a blend of potent skincare ingredients—such as peptides, stem cells, growth factors, and hyaluronic acid—directly into the skin to target specific concerns.

 

These ingredients work together to promote skin health and address signs of aging, offering nearly instant results. Moreover, because the treatment encourages blood flow to the skin, it can also provide longer-lasting benefits beyond immediate surface-level improvements.

 

Nano infusion facials are celebrated for being painless and for not requiring any downtime, making them a convenient option for individuals seeking to enhance their skin's appearance without the discomfort or recovery period associated with more aggressive treatments​.

 

Oxygen Infusion Therapy

Oxygen Infusion Therapy facials are a popular skincare treatment designed to nourish and rejuvenate the skin by using a stream of pressurized oxygen to deliver a combination of hydrating agents, peptides, and antioxidants directly into the skin.

 

This treatment is known for its ability to improve skin cell turnover, boost collagen production, and provide anti-inflammatory benefits, which collectively contribute to a reduction in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging.

 

One of the key benefits of Oxygen Infusion Therapy is its ability to unclog pores, remove dirt and sebum, and reduce acne breakouts by killing bacteria. It also brightens the skin, giving it a glowing, radiant appearance.

 

The pressurized oxygen enhances the penetration of skincare ingredients, making them more effective. Additionally, oxygen facials are gentle and non-invasive, offering a soothing experience without the raw or sensitive skin that can result from more aggressive treatments like microdermabrasion or chemical peels.

 

Ultrasonic Skin Spatula

Ultrasonic Skin Spatula facials are a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that utilizes ultrasonic waves to gently exfoliate and cleanse the skin. This technology involves a hand-held device called a skin spatula that emits high-frequency vibrations. When moved across the skin's surface, these vibrations help to loosen and remove dead skin cells, debris, and excess oil from the pores.

 

These anti-aging facials provide a deep cleanse and exfoliate the facial skin. This not only promotes collagen production but also provides enhanced absorption of skin care products. This treatment also is safe for most skin types, even on sensitive skin. Because there are no harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing, this is a gentle facial option.

 

Facial Cupping

Facial cupping is a safe and gentle, non-invasive treatment derived from traditional Chinese medicine, adapted specifically for rejuvenating the skin. It involves using small, specially designed suction cups that are applied to the face

 

The suction created by these cups lifts the facial tissue, stimulating blood circulation and lymphatic drainage. This technique is markedly different from body cupping; facial cups are smaller, and the suction is gentler to ensure the delicate facial skin is not damaged.

 

Facial cupping can increase circulation in the facial skin, and this increased blood flow brings oxygen and nutrients to the skin, promoting cellular repair. As with many of our facials, cupping also stimulates collagen production. If you tend to have puffiness in your face, cupping can promote lymphatic drainage which reduces puffiness and swelling.

 

LED Light Therapy

LED light therapy facials are a non-invasive skin treatment that utilizes light-emitting diode (LED) technology to promote skin health and rejuvenation. This therapy employs different wavelengths of light to target various skin concerns, including signs of aging. The treatment is painless, requires no downtime, and is suitable for all skin types.

 

LED light therapy facials can offer a multitude of benefits for the skin, including:

∙      Reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

∙      Improving uneven skin tone and texture

∙      Diminishing the appearance of scars and age spots

∙      Reducing inflammation and redness

∙      Treating acne by targeting acne-causing bacteria

∙      Promoting circulation and skin rejuvenation

 

Because of its diverse benefits, LED light therapy is often incorporated into skincare routines as a standalone treatment or in conjunction with other facial treatments to enhance results. Its non-invasive nature and ability to address multiple skin concerns make it a popular choice for those looking to maintain healthy, youthful-looking skin without undergoing more aggressive procedures.

 

ProCell Microchanneling Therapy

This is a unique offering that is suitable for most skin types. This therapy can reduce fine lines and wrinkles and also reduce the appearance of scarring, including acne scars. We also use this to help reduce hyperpigmentation and to smooth skin texture.

 

ProCell is a type of microneedling procedure, and we use a device with tiny needles to create microchannels on the skin surface. This stimulates a healing response as well as collagen and elastin production.

 

One of the unique aspects of ProCell Microchanneling Therapy compared to traditional microneedling is the integration of stem cell-based serums applied during the treatment. These serums contain growth factors that further promote skin healing and regeneration, enhancing the treatment's effectiveness.

 

ProCell Microchanneling Therapy is minimally invasive, with little to no downtime required. It's suitable for all skin types and can be customized to address specific skin concerns and areas of the face and body. Patients often see improvements after just one session, although multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal results. As with many of our facials, we also can add on dermaplaning with this treatment.

 

Customized Facial Treatments

At Skin Spa Asheville, you can select a specific treatment or opt for a customized facial treatment. We offer 45-minute, 60-minute,  and 90-minute facial treatment packages designed to address your biggest skin concerns. For these we can include one or more of the following treatments:

●      Microdermabrasion

●      Microcurrent

●      CIT Nano Infusion

●      Enzyme Peels

●      High Frequency

●      Ultrasonic Skin Spatula

Dermaplane, why it's my favorite treatment.

When I started to offer dermaplaning in 2017, I was most excited about how this treatment removed the vellus hair (peach fuzz). I had plenty of experience with face wax to remove vellus hair, and I never liked how it irritated the skin. Even with the best wax products and no matter how gentle I was, it still caused minor discomfort for my clients during the service. Quickly dermaplane became my go-to treatment for almost every clients, regardless of the presence of vellus hair. Not only did this treatment offer the visible results you could see and feel right away, but it also had no downtown and was suitable for almost all my clients. It was a win-win treatment, and everyone benefited. Now we combine dermaplane with Hydrafacials, Procell Microchanlling, and Peels, and it is a game changer for that immediate result-driven goal we strive for in every service we offer at Skin Spa. I'm so excited that Pauline and Lana will offer dermaplaning and invite you to book with them to experience all the buzz around dermplaning! If you have any questions, email or text me info@skinspaasheville.com or 828-398-9713.

What Is A Lymphatic Drainage Massage…

…And Does It Really Improve Your Health? Experts Weigh In

Learn all about the hottest massage treatment everyone is talking about. Now available at Skin Spa Asheville!

From Women’s Health Magazine. BY CASSIE SHORTSLEEVE AND SARAH FELBIN

JUN 6, 2022

Lymphatic drainage massages are luxurious spa treatments that have long been a celeb favorite for their many supposed benefits. A-listers claim they can help flush toxins, amp up immunity, and nix water weight and bloating. So is there any truth to all the rumors swirling around?

First, let's break down what it is: "Lymphatic massage is massage that is specific for the lymphatic system," explains Karena Wu, PT, DPT, the owner and clinical director of ActiveCare Physical Therapy in New York City and Mumbai, India. The lymphatic network—made up of vessels and organs under your skin—is a crucial part of the immune system that works kind of like a garbage disposal (totally not gross!).

"It acts like a sanitation system for our body by getting rid of 'waste' that our body naturally produces, or other things that can invade our body, like bacteria," says Linda Koehler, PhD, an assistant professor of physical therapy and rehabilitation medicine at the University of Minnesota. "It's what protects us from getting an infection."
