The Signature Facial (75 min)
The Signature Facial is a fully tailored combination of modalities and techniques based upon your skin needs. We offer a range of professional exfoliants, ultrasonic exfoliation, extractions, lifting and sculpting facial massage, hand, arm and scalp massage, LED light therapy, alginate masks, and cryotherapy. The esthetician will choose what is best based on your skin's needs.  For added microcurrent technology, please book the 'Sculptural Facial' as we need need extra time for best results. Please refrain from using retinol or exfoliants 5 days prior.

The Sculptural Facial (90 min)
The sculptural facial uses microcurrent modalities and sculptural face lifting massage techniques to work out your facial muscles, tightening the skin and stimulating collagen production. This treatment includes all of our foundational services included in the Signature facial, and leaves clients feeling smoother, sculpted and glowing. Modalities may include oxygen infusion, the alginate mask or cryotherapy. Hydration is key before and after treatment for best results. Please refrain from any retinol or exfoliants 4-5 days prior to treatment. If pregnant, we will opt out of microcurrent and focus on massage and pregnancy safe modalties.

The Buccal (75 min)
Only working with the facial muscles from inside and outside can give this great result: Facial muscle tone, lymphatic drainage, TMJ release, and most importantly emotional release, because where there is tension, there is restriction. 

The Buccal is solely dedicated to the art of facial massage for the entirety of the treatment, focusing on the muscles in face, scalp, neck and décolletage. Our techniques greatly improve blood circulation, increases the microcirculation in the subcutaneous adipose tissue, normalises cellular respiration, and activates metabolism and tissue nourishment. Additionally to tightening and strengthening of the face, the procedure can normalize the client's psycho-emotional state including chronic fatigue syndrome. The inner blocks and clamps are removed, so stress and anxiety can melt away.

This treatment is completed with whichever modality the esthetician deems is necessary: Alginate mask, cryro therapy or oxygen infusion.

The Treatment (120 min)
This two hour treatment is a combination of all of our specialties and different modalities in one session. We combine sculptural face lifting massage, buccal massage, manual lymphatic drainage, microcurrent technology, a professional exfoliation, extractions, LED light therapy and oxygen or cryotherapy for the ultimate, restorative treatment that will leave you radiating. Our techniques greatly improve blood circulation, increases the microcirculation in the subcutaneous adipose tissue, normalises cellular respiration, and activates metabolism and tissue nourishment. Additionally to tightening and strengthening of the face, the procedure can normalize the client's psycho-emotional state including chronic fatigue syndrome.

The esthetician will choose the modalities that best suits your skins needs at the time of service. Please note: We often work our massage into the scalp as it is just as important as the face, neck and décolleté. Therefore, oil will get in your hair unless you request otherwise.

The Monastery Facial (75 min)
The Monastery treatment is a sensorial experience, powered by the purest and most potent plant-based actives, and cutting-edge science, Monastery nurtures effortless beauty tailored to return skin to its most radiant state. This facial is instantly-transformative, combining Monastery's signature enzyme mask, ancient gua sha techniques, facial, scalp and arm massage as well as detailed extractions for visibly luminous skin. This is the ultimate nourishment for a calmer nervous system.

Custom Peel + CO2Lift Carboxy Gel Mask (60 min)
The glass skin duo! We carefully curate a collection of innovative treatment peels that target a variety of skin concerns. Generally, peels dissolve bonds between cells and carefully remove the top layer of skin, revealing a glowing smooth layer underneath. While exfoliating the skins surface, peels also stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, without the peeling downtime. Please note, some clients may experience some light flaking a few days post peel depending on various factors.

We love pairing chemical peels with the CO2 Lift Carboxy Gel Mask for good reason - accelerated healing time. The CO2 Lift acts as a topical "hyperbaric oxygen chamber" for the skin, delivering a rush of carbon dioxide to the application site. Carboxytherapy is the use of carbon dioxide (CO2) to regenerate skin, and increases skin hydration by 117%. When the gas is delivered through the gel to skin, the body responds by rushing oxygen rich blood to the tissue, leading to an induction of new collagen, tissue regeneration, and increased oxygenation and microcirculation. 

Being on recommended home-care is essential for best results.

Dermalift (60 min)
The treatment begins with a double cleanse followed by dermaplaning, which resurfaces the skin with a small surgical blade, removing any vellus hair leaving the skin silky smooth. We then apply the carboxy gel therapy which improves radiance immediately after application by conditioning skin with intense hydration and boosting moisture retention. An immediate glass skin treatment and perfect before big events.

Microcurrent Facial Contouring (60 min)
Microcurrent is delivered using strokes at various frequencies and waveforms to increase Adenosine Triphosphate (cellular energy. Microcurrent technology stimulates fibroblasts for collagen and elastin synthesis, reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles, improving the appearance of muscle tone, increasing the effects of circulation, and promoting the effects of lymphatic drainage. The combination of benefits results in an overall improvement to the look and healthy appearance of the skin. For optimal results, it is recommended that clients stay hydrated by increasing their water intake before their microcurrent treatment. For best results, book a microcurrent treatment 1-2x weekly for 6-8 weeks.

Micro-channeling Collagen Induction Therapy (90 min)
Collagen induction therapy utilizes cytokines and human stem cell derived growth factors to regenerate collagen and elastin, leaving the skin plumper, and glowing without the downtime of classic microneedling. By breaking down old tissue, Microchanneling triggers the production of new elastin and collagen for healthier skin, as well as plumper and smoother texture. This treatment effectively and powerfully stops the early signs of aging as well as preventing new wrinkles from forming when done regularly. 4–6 sessions are recommended, performed 4 weeks apart. Downtime typically consists of mild redness for 24 hours or less. 

*This treatment is for existing clients only. Cannot be nursing or pregnant. Must be off accutane for 1 year. Please stop all use of exfoliants and retinol (Vitamin A) 5 days prior. It is recommended to use Vitamin A that can be tolerated daily for optimal results in between sessions, as it will give you 150% better results.
