Grape Seed Extract: Probably the most widely and longest studied botanical is the Vitis Vinifera. Provides anti-inflammatory properties, help prevent skin aging, savenge radical oxygen species and inhibit UV radiation-induced damage. Proanthocyanidins – a group of polyphenolic bioflavonoids found in grape seeds and their stem ells are responsible for its powerful antioxidant effect and its anti-tumor activity.
Growth Factors: A naturally occurring substance capable of stimulating celluar growth and proliferation. Medical studies indicate that Growth Factors are unparalleled in enhancing dynamic and rapid cell activity!
L-ascorbic acid: is a water-soluble antioxidant that is also highly susceptible to oxidation. Although water-based vitamin C topical products can be effective, their shelf life is typicaly not more than one year. This important melanogenesis-inhibiting, collagen-building anti-inflammatory vitamin is best delievered to the skin in an ahhydrous base.
Stem cells: The role of cutaneous stem cells is to replenish skin as it undergoes normal function and wound repair. The majority of these cells reside in the basal layer of the epidermis. When a stem cell divides, the daughter cells have the potential to either remin a stem cell, like the parent cell or to differentiate into cells with a more specialized function, known as progenitor clells.
The bulk of research has been focused on three rich sources: phtyo stems cells: grape, lilac and swiss apple.

My friend just recently got a series of treatments in your spa. Her skin looks wonderful! I am 50 now and think I am ready to target my wrinkles. I am kind of afraid of any chemical peels that would leave you looking like a burn victim, that is why I have not done any. Please respond.
Cathy: I don’t know why everyone thinks they are going to look like a burn victim?
Did you happen to see your friend when she was actually having the peel? My peels are progressive and not aggressive. We do several of them to equal a larger peel. Why don’t you come in and have a consultation with me and I will educate you on the process and then you can decide for yourself? Consultations involve: Before pictures — products to prep your skin ( not included in the price — patch test, mini treatment. $60 Call me at 462-2690 or schedule yourself a consultation right online on my website:) Look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Sharon Williams
