Beautifying Peninsula Women Since 1988!
Owner, Shelley Hancock
Owner, Shelley Hancock received her Esthetic license in 1988 and purchased her first skin care center in 1990. Throughout her career she has always worked closely with local plastic surgeons, wanting to stay up on the latest technologies in medical esthetics.

Although you will leave feeling relaxed, our facials are more about making changes and not neccessarliy a pampering experience.

Our Skin Care Treatments
Although heredity plays a part in the type of skin you have, you can improve the quality of your skin. The key to healthy skin is proper daily maintenance, sun protection and regular skin care treatments. I have designed a selection of facial programs that provide the latest and most effective procedures to improve the health of your skin.
I use a variety of skin care products in my facial treatments that have been selected for their superior quality and versatility. All of these products are available to purchase for your home use. A consultation is complimentary and highly recommended to determine which treatments are best suited to meet your needs. In the consultation we will go over prices once we determine the best combination of technologies to help you achieve vibrant healthy skin. Below is information about the equipment I use in my facial treatments. I tailor each treatment to the individuals skin care needs.

Technologies Used in Our Facial Treatments:
MicroPhototherapy is the most advanced technology that I offer. This treatment uses light and heat energy that is safe and effective for most skin types. It clears pigmented lesions and homogenizes skin tone by emitting gentle pulses of light and heat to create a mild thermal injury beneath the skin's surface leading to fiberblast production and new collagen formation. The heat opens the pores, enhancing absorption of specialty creams and lotions. I use this technology for anti-aging as well as acne clearance. This is my favorite treatment!! There is no down time involved with this treatment. In fact, you will leave looking so vibrant that you may want to make sure you have some place to go to show off your new look! You can do this treatment alone or combine it with other modalities (below) for even better and faster results!
The Star Treatment: Intracueticals Oxygen Infusion treatment is more than just a facial! Unlike other oxygen treatments that atomize or spray the skin, our Hyperbaric Oxygen System uses therapeutic oxygen under hyperbaric pressure to infuse a special serum of modified hyaluronic acid, essential vitamins, botanicals, antioxidants and amino peptides into the skin. The application of pressurized oxygen increases the absorption of the infusion which helps the skin retain hydration and moisture. We create a visible result that you can instantly see & feel. You'll walk away from your treatment with extremely hydrated and plumped up skin. We call this "The Star Treatment" because it is the treatment of choice for Hollywood stars such as Madonna, Eva Longoria, Katy Perry and Justin Timberlake, to name just a few. This treatment addresses a wide spectrum of skin conditions including: dry, dehydrated and prematurely aging skin, sensitive skin, sun damage, brown spots, fine lines and wrinkles and also, acne prone skin. It's a must try treatment!!!
LED Light Therapy is a safe and effective use of advanced light technology designed to diminish the visible appearance of fine lines, wrinkles on the face by promoting collagen firmness. Light therapy has been shown in worldwide research for over 40 years to develop powerful therapeutic benefits in living tissue and help alleviate the signs of aging, acne and sun damage. The LEDs are similar to those that illuminate your alarm clocks and VCR?s. Your skin will appear smoother, tighter and more radiant, showing continued gradual improvement with each treatment. There is absolutely no pain involved in this treatment and most clients see immediate results!
Microcurrent Facial Toning is a low cost painless alternative for those wishing the results of surgical cosmetic treatments. It is also called the lunch time face lift. It is the best alternative for women who wish to get back their youthful looks. Microcurrent has been in use for over 16 years and has recently gained popularity in the United States, especially among Hollywood celebrities. The benefits of the procedure include eliminating fine lines, creases, and wrinkles, restoring the glow of youthful skin, visibly firming, contouring and lifting the overall droop and it tightens sagging jowls, double chins, and fatty cheeks.
Microcurrent is low level current that mimics the body's natural electrical currents, triggering chemical reactions at a cellular level to enhance the production of natural collagen and elastin and provide circulatory benefits. The results are immediate firming, smoothing and re-hydration of the skin while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Clinicians can sculpt and contour the face and body with microcurrent. This procedure is preventative for younger clients and rejuvenating for mature clients. It is a non-invasive treatment that gives you the option for anti-aging without the recovery time and expense of surgery and other aggressive treatments.
The Perfect Appearance Dermafile is a skin polishing and resurfacing tool made of stainless steel and finely crushed genuine diamonds. This file will lightly polish the skin by hand, removing the top layer of dead skin cells, and leaving velvety smooth, fresh, rejuvenated skin. The technician has total control over the process, allowing varying levels of the epidermis to be safely removed.
The Ultrasonic Spatula is a two step treatment that causes the skin to receive product by first exfoliating and then deep penetration of nutrients, stimulating the skins natural collagen fibers to help re-build the tissues. Collagen fibers are what give the skin a plump look as seen in youthful skin. Elastin fibers give your face it's elasticity. Both the exfoliating and the product infusion help to stimulate and rebuild these fibers. We use the Spatula in every skincare treatment! BriteWhite Teeth Whitening is FDA cleared for use in salons and spas. It just makes sense...I work on your skin and you look vibrant and healthy. Why not have a smile to match? I use carbamide peroxide whitening gel with a cool blue LED light inserted inside the mouth. We are the first company to develop this method and to go through FDA clearance. I have been offering this treatment for over three years now and achieving great results. You need a vibrant smile to go along with your healthy skin!
