- Facial TreatmentI discovered The Skin Studio by accident after my previous aesthetician, Joan, moved away. I was desolate, for in seven years Joan had transformed my sun-damaged skin from 'blah' to beautiful. One day early last summer while shopping on Piedmont Avenue, I wandered into The Skin Studio, a vine-covered bower in a tranquil courtyard. I decided to try one facial treatment. I have now been a devoted client for a year. In that time, my skin has improved tremendously. Their monthly facials have further refined my skin tone, minimized by pores, and kept my 45+ year-old complexion glowing. People I meet always underestimate my age by at least a decade. I attribute this entirely to their treatments, and their insistence upon daily sunscreen. They use first-rate products. It is conveniently located, and it is always easy to find parking. My husband, (also a monthly client), and I would not go anywhere else for facials.
- Acne FacialBy reexamining our client population the assumption that acne mainly affects mostly adolescent males has been challenged. Studies have shown that in the 1990s, the incident of acne increased in adult women well into their 20s, 30s and even 40s. The majority of the Skin Studio’s client population are females over age 20, 90% suffer from mild to severe acne. Hormonal changes, pregnancy, oral contraceptives, and family history are among the many aggravating factors, which influence the development of acne. Studies have shown that stress is the most common aggravating cause in 75% of adult women. Increases in hormone levels caused by chronic stress subsequently lead to an increase in inflammatory nodules. Picking the acne lesions seems to increase when under stress, increasing the spread of bacterial infections. Cosmetics are less problematic today as more noncomedogenic products are now available. However, certain hair sprays, conditioners and moisturizers contain ingredients that may cause problems to acne suffers. Acne therapy usually involves ice compresses to decrease inflammation, Alpha and Beta - hydroxy acids, enzymes and vitamin A. These products kill bacteria, and are also follicular irritant sloughing out the impacted cells from the pores. We also address hyperpigmentation related to acne scarring. Our clients dietary habits are also assessed. Facials are required along with compliance of a home program and a commitment to follow instructions.With this we have been quite successful in controlling acne problems.

- Chemical PeelChemical peeling is basically an accelerated form of exfoliation induced by use of a chemical caulerant agent. The depth of the peel is determined by the clients’ condition.
- Glycolic PeelPeels and laser resurfacing are used to treat different depths of facial wrinkles. Some peels such as light glycolic peels provide light exfoliation, which can treat fine lines, smooth out skin tone and make skin feel softer. Deeper peels simply treat deeper wrinkles and are good for people who do not yet need laser resurfacing. However, the deepest wrinkles generally require skin resurfacing with a CO2 laser. You should be aware that the recovery time increases with the depth of the treatment.
- Chiropractic Injury Treatment10. May I claim the cost of laser hair reduction as a tax-deductible medical expense? Generally you cannot include medical expenses paid for cosmetic surgery. This includes procedures such as face lifts, hair transplants, hair reduction, and liposuction. These expenses can be included if they are necessary to improve a deformity related to a congenital abnormality, a personal injury resulting from an accident or trauma, or a disfiguring disease. If you have questions about this, you should consult your certified public accountant.
- Permanent MakeupWhen I was a teenager I had great eyebrows, and as I tweezed and shaved over the years they never grew back to the full thickness or the darker color. So, in 1997 I read an ad on permanent makeup in the Montclarion Newspaper. I called and made an appointment for a consultation and service. The service was explained and I was told that I was perfect for the procedure and if there were any mistakes they could always be corrected. Well, there were mistakes, and they were corrected and corrected until my eyebrows looked like someone had drawn heavy black brows with a permanent marker.
