Renova’s facials are unique because of our customization. Each aesthetician will customize the facial to the needs of the guest. 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.

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.

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.

Emsella, one of the many technologies we use here at Renova, was recently featured in an article by Tatiana Bido for New Beauty.
Here’s a quick excerpt:
As an aesthetic editor who gets to research the latest cosmetic treatments, I’m in the unique position to be able to try today’s most effective technologies for tightening, toning and treating the body as soon as they hit the market. What I’ve learned from getting to test-drive various nonsurgical contouring treatments is that “perfecting” anything on my body in my 40s is a stretch.
I’ve also learned that these noninvasive options take patience and are good for treating small target areas of pinchable fat and for moderate tightening and toning, so having realistic expectations is key. Most noninvasive treatments require multiple sessions and continued maintenance to keep results longterm, but I’ve also found they’re very effective for taking care of small bothersome concerns.

by Renova Aesthetics | Feb 10, 2023 | Botox
Botox, or botulinum toxin, is a well-known cosmetic treatment that can temporarily smooth out wrinkles and fine lines on the face. But did you know that its origins date back to the late 1800s?
It all started with a Belgian microbiologist named Emile van Ermengem, who discovered the neurotoxin produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. In the early 1900s, it was found to have the ability to cause muscle paralysis. Fast forward to the 1940s, and botulinum toxin was being used to treat strabismus (crossed eyes) in children.
It wasn’t until the 1980s that botulinum toxin received its first FDA approval for the treatment of blepharospasm, a disorder that causes excessive blinking and eyelid spasms. And it wasn’t until the late 1990s and early 2000s that the cosmetic use of botulinum toxin really took off.
It was a husband-and-wife team of Canadian ophthalmologists, Dr. Jean Carruthers and Dr. Alastair Carruthers, who discovered that injecting small amounts of botulinum toxin into the forehead could temporarily smooth out wrinkles and frown lines. They first published their findings in the Canadian Journal of Ophthalmology in 1992. And in 2002, the FDA approved the use of Botox for the treatment of wrinkles between the eyebrows, also known as “glabellar lines.”
Since then, the use of botulinum toxin has become increasingly popular in medical spas in the United States for the treatment of wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of aging on the face. Medical spas, also known as medispas, offer medical treatments like Botox injections alongside traditional spa services like facials and massages. And botulinum toxin is also used to treat a variety of medical conditions, such as chronic migraines, excessive sweating, and muscle spasms.
But it’s important to remember that botulinum toxin should only be administered by trained and certified medical professionals in a medical setting. The procedure is relatively safe, but complications can occur, such as infection or an allergic reaction. So, if you’re thinking about getting Botox, be sure to consult a qualified professional before undergoing any treatment.

Renova has offered Emsculpt (and Emsculpt NEO) to our Indianapolis customers since we first opened our doors, and it is helping a lot of our customers reveal the most beautiful version of themselves. We found this great review of Emsculpt at InStyle by Pia Velasco, and thought we should share it with you – here’s a quick excerpt:
If you’ve grown up crunching abs to no avail, you may relate. I’ve been an athlete my whole life, but no matter how many hours I put in the gym or how many marathons I run, my lower abs always remained hidden under a layer of stubborn (yet cute) fat. It was never something that kept me up at night — after all, all bodies are beautiful and I’m very proud of mine — but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t sometimes wish my abs would show.
But hey, that’s genetics! Sometimes, no matter how balanced of a diet you eat or how long you can hold a plank, your body won’t change that much. Obviously it’s not the end of the world, but if you do want to get those visible results, in-office treatments can get you there.
Namely, Emsculpt — and it’s so easy to do, too. Unlike other treatments which may leave you very sore or require down time, with Emsculpt you’re in and out. Plus, each session gets easier to tolerate as you get used to the heat and contractions.

by Renova Aesthetics | Feb 5, 2023 | emface
One of the treatments available here at Renova is Emface, and we are really excited about what it can do for our clients. The treatment was recently featured in Harper’s Bazaar – here’s a quick excerpt of the article, by Sable Yong:
I’ll admit it: I’m a person who thinks about her own face quite a bit. I like my face and I very much enjoy embellishing and optimizing it, as my ever-evolving billboard of self-expression and connection. As I’m now squarely in my mid-to-late 30s, I find myself thinking about my face in ways I never have before. Namely, how it’s changing with age.
My winged liner technique is suddenly no longer geometrically suited for my eye shape. I’ve become acquainted with the term (and presence of) “nasolabial folds,” those frowny valleys that extend from your nose to the corners of your mouth. It’s not visually alarming so much as it is a reminder of the passage of time, but it’s still something new to get used to. I’ve tried creams, I’ve tried gua sha, but I wondered, is there something beyond lotion and a jade roller I could be doing?
