Facials are an excellent adjunct to our other treatments, or as a standalone rejuvenating therapy.
What is an aesthetic facial?
Through a process of cleansing, exfoliating, and nourishing the skin, aesthetic facials can produce immediate and dramatic improvements in the skins’ clarity, hydration, and health, and reduce pore size and superficial texture & tone irregularities. Perhaps most appealing is that the process is immensely pleasant and relaxing.
What is a facial peel?
A peel is often employed in a facial. It utilizes acids to produce a more substantive exfoliation.

After engaging in a consultation and a skin analysis our aestheticians are committed to providing facials customized to each guest’s individual skin type and specific to their objectives.

River Fundamental Facial
Fundamentals are vital. The RIVER FUNDAMENTAL FACIAL is appropriate for all skin types and is especially great for dry or sensitive skin due to its high content of essential fatty acids (EFA), anti-inflammatory action, and ability to hydrate the skin. Using oat milk as a key ingredient we reduce redness and sooth the skin. Glycerin and sodium hyaluronate dramatically improve hydration of the skin. We finish with a balancing anti-oxidant moisturizer, a weightless sunblock and a jojoba lip balm.

FAQ
A thorough skin analysis and consultation is important to determine a persons’ skin type and conditions to best select an appropriate treatment.
We provide a free optical facial analysis with any treatment to ensure you are receiving the best treatment for your skin.
The most commonly used skin typing scale is the Fitzpatrick Scale — which delineates six gradations based on skin pigmentation and tolerance to sun exposure.
The Lancer Ancestry Scale (LAS) utilizes a calculation based on the ethnicities of grandparents to identify persons with seemingly lower Fitzpartick Scale scores that may be at risk of treatments normally avoided in the darker skin types.
A facial is a treatment for cleansing and nourishing the skin — typically the face and neck. Chemical peels seek to exfoliate the cornified stratum layer of the epidermis.. Chemical peels increase the cell turnover, induce the skin to regenerate collagen, and provide a regenerated, healthier skin surface with greater skin tone homogeneity.
No. There are three types of chemical peels: (1) a superficial peel achieved with alpha-hydroxy acid or beta-hydroxy acid; (2) a medium depth peel utilizing trichloroacetic acid (TCS); and (3) a deep peel which uses higher concentrations of the above-mentioned acids.
It is strongly recommended to start with a hydrating peel because it will help determine the skins’ tolerance to the acids used.
4 to 6 peels, four weeks apart provide great results!
No. Chemical peels are not for everyone. A through consultation with skin analysis, medical history and medication use should be undertaken to determine if a chemical peel is safe. Accutane (isotretinoin) should not have been used for a least a year and there should be no history of skin cancer if considering this treatment.
Prices vary based on the length of treatment, the products being used, customizations and add-ons.
