At the SKN Holistic Rejuvenation Clinic we unite eastern medicine with western technology by incorporating LED into all of our Facials and Acupuncture treatments. This helps to heal the skin after extractions, reduces redness in clients with rosacea, aides in product penetration and general healing and rejuvenation of the skin.
We also incorporate the blue light for all acne facials to help dry up the excess oil in the skin and prevent potential breakouts.
To give you a little information about LED, what it is, how it works and why it is beneficial for your skin I thought I would write a little blurb. Read more…

For example, if you were to pluck out a hair and see a bulb on the end, that is a hair that is currently in the active stage of growth. The rest of the hairs are in the resting phase or they are getting ready to shed. Read more…

Exfoliating is a very important step in skin care and all too often skipped. It is the key to healthy, fresh and polished skin. As we age the cell turnover rate slows down and our skin loses that reflective glow. Our goal with exfoliation is to remove the dead cells from the skin surface.
