INTEGRATIVE THERAPIES

The following treatments go beyond the deep clean and pampering that a simple facial can achieve. They integrate physiologic and energetic modalities to specifically target symptoms and conditions. Although they are grouped below for different purposes, they can be combined as needed to achieve optimum results. Multiple sessions are often required and buying a package of sessions is recommended to achieve the desired results. If you're not sure which modalities would best benefit you, please reach out via phone or email to ask any questions you may have.

Integrative Therapy for Barrier Repair
Barrier Repair Therapy is suitable for anyone who experiences symptoms related to the skin’s oil and water balance. This may include: Oily patches, enlarged pores, chapped skin, and dry (flakey) patches, alone or all at once in different areas of the face.

The Integrative Therapy for Barrier Repair focuses on supporting the skin’s lubrication and hydration function in order to repair and strengthen the skin’s natural Oil/Water Barrier. A typical session might include a customized herbal compress, our Integrity Biome Rehabilitation Mask or Facial Point Stimulation with the unique Golden Honey Mask. Blue, red and infrared phototherapy is applied as needed and the session is completed with gentle Fascia Lymphatic Manipulation.

What can you expect from Integrative Therapy for Barrier Repair?
After your first session, you can expect your skin to feel calm and moisturized, though slightly tight. This is necessary and desirable to reset your oil glands. Previous symptoms are usually relieved within 48 hours of the service. You will be given very specific directions, worksheets and (perhaps) videos to follow. You will find that in 3 weeks time, your skin will no longer feel oily in some places and dry in others.

Further sessions will show more immediate response and can completely resolve the issue,

Integrative Therapy for Biome Rehabilitation

The Integrative Therapy for Biome Rehabilitation focuses on supporting the skin as the body’s “first line of defense” in order to rehabilitate skin’s biome back to symbiosis while making the terrain inhospitable to the malicious micro-organisms that create skin dysbiosis (ACNE). A typical session might include a customized herbal compress, our Integrity Biome Rehabilitation Mask and Facial Point Stimulation. Blue light phototherapy is applied as needed and the session is completed with gentle Fascia Lymphatic Manipulation.

Who is Integrative Therapy for Biome Rehabilitation for?
Biome Rehabilitation is appropriate for anyone who is experiencing symptoms related to biome integrity. Symptoms include pimples with pus, uneven textured areas and large, inflamed, painful welts that tend towards infections.

What can I expect from Integrative Therapy for Biome Rehabilitation?
After your first session, you can expect your skin to feel calm and moisturized, though slightly tight. Previous symptoms, such as inflammation and pus are usually relieved within 48 hours of the service. You will be given very specific directions and worksheets. You will find that when you return in 2 weeks time, your skin will have less irritation and pus.

You can expect that it will take 16 weeks to completely rehabilitate the biome and get it to a place where it is protecting itself without regular Integrative Therapies. From there, we will reassess and will recommend moving to an Integrative Therapy to Reduce Redness (if necessary) or Integrative Therapy to Improve the Appearance of Old Scars(which, in cases of extreme symbiosis which has led to structural damage, may take another series targeted towards scars).

Integrative Therapy for Reducing Redness and Reactivity

What can I expect from Integrative Therapy for Reducing Redness and Reactivity?
After your first session, you can expect your skin to feel calm and moisturized, though slightly tight. Previous symptoms, such as inflammation and irritation are usually somewhat relieved within 48 hours of the service. You will be given very specific directions and worksheets to follow.

You can expect that it may take up to two months to get the skin to a place where it does not overreact to most exposures, although the reduction of overall redness is usually immediate. From there, we will reassess and either continue with this same therapy to lessen the appearance of distended capillaries (mostly those stubborn ones on the cheeks or around the nose) or move on to an Integrative Therapy to Improve the Appearance of Old Scars (if necessary)

What can I expect from Integrative Therapy to Improve the Appearance of Old Scars?
After your first session, you can expect your skin to feel active and moisturized, though slightly tight. The skin might feel a little hot or red that evening into the next day. This is expected and desirable, though it is perfectly OK if it isn’t noticeable. You will be given very specific directions and worksheets. You will find that it will take up to 2 weeks to see the full results of each service.

You can expect to see results in 2-3 weeks and further reduction in 2-4 months of regular sessions. From there, we can reassess and see if you need to continue with this same therapy or perhaps begin with Integrative Therapies to Maintain Radiance (at every age).
