We offer a 60- and 90-minute facial that consists of your traditional facial components: cleansing, toning, extractions, exfoliation, massage (face/neck/décolleté/shoulders) and

  • Cleansing: for the removal of impurities trapped in the pores. A customized cleanser is massaged over the face, neck & décolleté then removed with a warm towel and/or damp sponges.
  • Toning: To add hydration or additional detoxification to the pores. Depending on the formula of the toner will depend on how it may be used; applied to the skin with a cotton pad or misted on from an atomizer bottle.
  • Extractions: the removal of impurities from the pores. Extracting a milia (whitehead) or a comedone (blackhead) from a pore to clear any bacteria causing the eruption.
  • Massage: A customized massage over the décolleté, shoulders, neck and face for 12-15 mins. Boosting relaxation and stress relief.

Masque: a masque is layered onto the décolleté, neck & face for a suggested amount of time, depending on the type of masque and the guests skin type. Masque’s are beneficial in a facial as well as at home. They can add extra hydration into the skin, calm redness/irritation or draw excess oils out of clogged pores.

Our 90 minute Renova facial will have an added dermaplane or microdermabrasion into the treatment.

Why dermaplane?

Dermaplane uses a rounded blade to glide over the skin for the removal of vellus hair ,also known as peach fuzz. Along with giving the skin an exfoliation of dead surface cells. Leaving the skin glowing!

Why microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion uses a light suction/vaccum with a diamond tipped wand to remove dead surface cells. Leaving a softer texture to the skin and a brighter glow.

A guest may also choose to add additional massage on to their facial if they want a foot to knee massage or would like to incorporate massage into their HydraFacial.

HydraFacial is another type of facial we offer for dehydrated skin using hyaluronic acid and customized boosters to brighten and rehydrate the skin. The HydraFacial treatment also includes a dermaplane or microdermabrasion.

If you are not sure which treatment is best for you, any of these facials are for all skin types, however you should schedule a complimentary VISIA Skin Analysis prior to or with your facial. The VISIA camera allows us to see any signs of aging that you can not see to the naked eye and helps best determine which treatment you may need to start with.

You Are Not Alone: Urinary Incontinence Happens to 1 in 3 Women.

You Are Not Alone: Urinary Incontinence Happens to 1 in 3 Women.

In a recent article for Women’s Health, Georgie Lane-Godfrey takes a candid look at incontinence and asks the question: Could urinary incontinence actually be easily cured? One of the non-surgical options explored is Emsella, a treatment we offer our clients here at Renova. Here’s an excerpt from the article:

So after the birth of my daughter left me with post-partum bladder prolapse, and, subsequently, urinary incontinence, I felt overwhelmingly alone. None of my friends with children had ever mentioned this being an issue, and yet here I was, having to dehydrate myself before leaving the house, always carrying spare underwear and changing soaked pads multiple times a day.

It was only when one friend came over with her baby to visit and went to the loo three times before heading home again that I began to wonder. Eventually, she confided that she also never travels anywhere without a completely empty bladder – the risk is just too high.

Look, we’ve been friends for over 10 years. We’ve shared countless secrets and frequently discussed our sex lives in detail. And yet, the shame surrounding urinary incontinence is so great, she didn’t feel she could tell me about this all-too-common problem.

In fact, it’s estimated that a staggering one in three women in the UK are affected by urinary incontinence. But the reality is that this figure could be even higher, since research shows that women are unlikely to report problems due to embarrassment.

Let’s get salty – all things Salt Therapy

Let’s get salty – all things Salt Therapy

Salt therapy, also known as halotherapy, is a natural therapy that involves inhaling salt particles in a controlled environment. The therapy is based on the idea that salt can have a positive effect on respiratory and skin conditions, as well as overall wellness.

Salt therapy is typically done in a salt cave or a salt room. These rooms are designed to mimic the microclimate of natural salt caves and are filled with salt particles that are dispersed into the air. During a salt therapy session, you’ll sit or lie down in the salt room and breathe in the salty air for a period of time.

One of the main benefits of salt therapy is that it can help to improve respiratory conditions such as asthma, allergies, and bronchitis. The salt particles can help to clear the airways, reduce inflammation, and promote easier breathing. Salt therapy can also help to improve skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. The salt particles can help to reduce inflammation and moisturize the skin.

Salt therapy is also believed to have a positive effect on overall wellness. It can help to reduce stress and improve mood, as well as boost the immune system. It’s also said to improve the quality of sleep, boost energy levels and improve athletic performance.
