Facial Add-ons
Facial add-ons are enhancements to a facial treatment that can target specific skin concerns or provide extra benefits. An indulgence of sorts! At Well & Being for Women we offer a variety of add-on services including: high concentration serums, masks, and LED light therapy.
Serums
At Well & Being for Women we recommend adding a serum to enhance facial treatments by targeting specific skin concerns and boosting hydration, texture, and overall appearance. In addition to our more customary serums, which are included with all of our facial treatments, we offer highly concentrated serums for an more enhanced facial outcome. Mesotherapy will be used to apply and infusion skin tissue to allow for maximum absorption of serums.
Types of serums:
- Hyaluronic acid: intense hydration and plumps the skin.
- Vitamin C: brightens the skin and reduces the appearance of dark spots.
- Retinol: reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
- Peptides: stimulate collagen production and improve skin firmness.
Duration: adding a serum will extend a facial treatment by 10-15 minutes
