The Quartz Grounding Experience
What It Does
A custom full body experience designed by our in house Naturopathic Physician combining two programs. A gemstone infused heat therapy mat and audio-visual entertainment system. The purpose of the experience is to guide the user into a meditative state of deep relaxation, when in this deep state the brain-body goes into regenerative repair where serotonin, endorphins, and dopamine is released, providing a stress-break. It helps the body to recover from daily tension and stress faster, rejuvenate cells more intensely, promote better mood and pain management and have a faster recovery time from injury. Torqued tension accumulated in the fascia of your body, from day to day stress will loosen and allow for improved circulation and cellular communication. After you leave your session you should feel uplifted, energized and calm.
How It Works
The mat contains up to 21 layers that regulate the complex wellness-enhancing experience featuring Amethyst, Tourmaline, Obsidian, Jade and of course Quartz. The gemstones heat up to 70C and release infrared rays and negative ions that penetrate deep into your body’s core. While used in conjunction with Audio-Visual Entrainment (AVE) which is a technique that uses pulses of light and sound at specific frequencies to gently and safely guide the brain into various brainwave patterns. By altering your brainwave frequencies, you can normalize your mood, improve sleep patterns, sharpen your mind, and increase relaxation levels. There are also settings for Cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES) which applies pulsed, alternating microcurrent (<1000 μA) transcutaneously to the head via electrodes placed on the earlobes, mastoid processes, zygomatic arches, or the maxillo-occipital junction. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted approval in 1979 for CES for the treatment of insomnia, depression and anxiety. Controlled studies provide evidence that CES is effective for anxiety, headaches, fibromyalgia, smoking cessation, drug withdrawal symptoms, and (in some but not all studies) pain (see Bianco 1994; Klawansky et al. 1995; Kirsch 1996; DeFelice 1997; Gilula 2007; O’Connell et al. 2010 for review and meta-analyses).

Image Chemical Peels

The skin will be prepped in order to remove any excess oil, the peel is then applied and remains on the skin for a short time.

This means we ensure that the peel has stopped working completely. Extractions are performed if needed and appropriate skin care, including sunscreen, is applied.

SkinPen Microneedling
What It Does
Microneedling is a treatment that improves the texture of the skin by stimulating collagen production. This reduces the appearance of fine lines, crepiness, enlarged pores, acne scars and melasma.
These results are achieved by causing a controlled injury to the skin using the SkinPen Microneedling device, which triggers the skin’s healing response. This increased collagen production makes the skin look smoother, more refined and brighter. In combination with medical grade skincare, it also helps to lighten Melasma by breaking up the pigment in the dermis and epidermis.
To enhance the results of microneedling even further and to speed healing afterwards, PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma), Growth Factors or Hyaluronic Acid can be added to the treatment. The most common areas to have treated are the face and neck, however, areas of the body can be treated as well.
Benefits
- Overall improvement of skin texture
- Counteracts collagen breakdown
- Reduces appearance of acne scars, fine lines, pores, melasma
- Minimize stretch marks
What to Expect
During Treatment
The area(s) to be treated will be prepared by applying a topical numbing cream to ensure there is little to no discomfort felt during the treatment. The vibration of the SkinPen will be felt during the treatment and may even tickle the nose slightly! A small amount of blood may appear on the surface of the skin but will be cleansed off before the treatment is complete.
After Treatment
The skin will be red and slightly swollen immediately after your session and will resolve itself within 48 hours. Approximately 2 days after the treatment, you will experience shedding or peeling, this typically lasts for 2-4 days.

How It Works
PRP is full of growth factors and proteins which help to rejuvenate and heal the skin. Skin texture can also be improved by PRP due to its ability to increase collagen and elastin stimulation. PRP can be used as an alternative to fillers for clients who want a natural option that increases firmness, density, skin elasticity and helps to reduce hair thinning and loss. By using this growth factor of rich plasma and delivering it to the root of the hair follicles, we can stimulate hair growth and improve fullness.
Benefits
