Treatments by concern
Find the right treatment for your skin
Not sure which service you need? Start with what you would like to change. These are the treatments we most often recommend for each concern, and your skin assessment will confirm the best fit.
Fine lines & loss of firmness
As collagen slows, skin can lose its snap and fine lines become more visible. Treatments that stimulate collagen and support cell turnover help skin look firmer and smoother over time.
XERF · Anti-aging facials · Elite+ rejuvenation
Acne & congestion
Breakouts and clogged pores respond best to deep cleansing, gentle exfoliation and bacteria control that balances oil without stripping or irritating the skin.
Acne Clarifying Facial · Teen Clear Skin Facial · HydraFacial
Dullness & dehydration
Tired, dry or stressed skin needs exfoliation and deep hydration to restore radiance. These treatments deliver an immediate glow that builds with regular visits.
HydraFacial · Oxygen Facial · Vitamin C Facial
Unwanted hair
For lasting results, laser hair removal gradually reduces growth on the face and body. Waxing is a fast, effective option between sessions or for smaller areas.

Pigment, veins & uneven tone
Sun spots, visible veins and blotchy tone can be targeted directly with laser, then maintained with brightening facials and a consistent home-care routine.

Sparse brows & lashes
Whether you want fuller brows or lashes that look done without mascara, semi-permanent options save you time every morning and look natural.

Signature treatment
XERF skin tightening
XERF is a non-invasive radiofrequency treatment that delivers controlled heat energy into the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate new collagen and elastin. Over the following weeks, skin becomes visibly firmer and smoother, with no surgery and no downtime.
It is a popular choice for the face, jawline and neck, and for clients who want to look refreshed without injectables or recovery time. We recommend a consultation first so we can assess your skin and plan the right number of sessions.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question that is not answered here? Text us or call (845) 802-3485.
Which treatment is right for my skin?
It depends on your skin type, concerns and goals. Every appointment includes a professional skin assessment, and your esthetician will recommend the most effective option before you begin.
Do I need a consultation before booking?
We recommend a consultation for any laser, XERF or new skincare treatment so we can assess your skin first. Facials, waxing and brow services can usually be booked directly.
How often should I get a facial?
Most clients benefit from a facial every four to six weeks, depending on their skin, lifestyle and treatment goals.
What is the difference between a facial and a HydraFacial?
Our facials are customized protocols chosen for your skin. A HydraFacial uses patented technology to cleanse, exfoliate, extract and infuse hydrating serums in a single, efficient session.
Is laser hair removal safe for darker skin tones?
Yes. Our Elite+ platform combines Alexandrite and Nd:YAG wavelengths, which allows us to treat all Fitzpatrick skin types safely and effectively.
Is there downtime after XERF skin tightening?
No. XERF is non-invasive, with no surgery or needles, and most clients return to their normal day right after treatment.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking a week or more ahead. Same-day appointments are occasionally available, so text us or call (845) 802-3485 to check.
Do you offer gift cards?
Yes. Gift cards are available and make a thoughtful gift for birthdays, holidays and special occasions.
