New from Dr. Murad:

Murad Professional

This 2 hour exclusive skin treatment begins with an in-depth analysis of your complexion, any health issues you have, especially around the immune system, allergies and sensitivies and to prioritize your goals for health skin!

This facial treatment partners with Dr. Murad's brand new 4 step daily regimen of home care products that is a scientific-based skincare system designed to stimulate the skin’s own immune system. It features new Immuno-Skin Complex™ - a revolutionary sequence of bio-peptides formulated to help strengthen skin immunity, improve moisture at the cellular level and stimulate dermal matrix remodeling. While there are many products on the market that promise to help the visible signs of aging, few address the actual cause. Through intensive research, Dr. Murad determined that water loss from cells and connective tissue is one of the main causes of aging.

Dr. Murad’s latest discovery links aging to a decrease in skin immunity. As the largest organ in the body, the skin serves as a crucial part of your immune system. It is common knowledge that germs and bacteria act as aggressors that lead to colds and other illnesses. Now, new research has uncovered a similar phenomenon in regard to skin.

As we age, there is a decrease in the effectiveness of our immune system to fight aggressors like pollution, sun exposure, poor nutrition and cultural stress, and these external factors can weaken the skin function even further.

This ultimately leads to both cellular and connective tissue breakdown translating to fine lines, wrinkles, discolorations, dullness and sagging that happens to aging skin.

Through advances in biotechnology, Murad Research Labs discovered a proprietary bio-peptide called Immuno-Skin Complex™, which triggers the body’s defense mechanism against aggressors. Cellular activity and immunity is strengthened and as a result, your skin acts young again.

Anti-Inflammatory Treatment

   Excessive skin redness is often accompanied by sensitivity, flushing, heat and overall tightness. Skin that suffers from Rosacea-like redness is influenced by outside factors called "triggers". These "triggers" determine when redness occurs and/or how severe the symptoms are. To reduce the severity or occurrences of these triggers, fragile skin requires vital nutrients that will help strengthen cell function, reduce inflammation, and avoid irritation.

What is most important to help reduce and control the redness and associated concerns is to provide skin with agents that will help to calm and soothe current symptoms and treat and prevent future occurrences.

Melasma Reduction Program 

for the treatment of hormonal hyperpigmentation

     A series of professional visits with our aesthetician to have melanin exfoliating, blocking and deflecting agents applied to the affected areas of your complexion (face and body) and home care products suited to your condition, skin type and any health issues.  With a wide range of professional solutions to work with, she can find the right program to achieve the results with little irritation.   Fees will be determined at first visit when your aesthetician presents recommendations based on consultation.  

   The 2 hour Melasma Face Treatment with Consultation is $200.00 and begins with an in-depth evaluation and discussion about melasma.  The facial portion of your first visit is to chemically signal your epidermis with new messages about how it responds to heat, sun and fluorescent lighting.  Then she'll exfoliate, which  may involve the use of either microdermabrasion, organic skin peeling agents or ultra sound;  specialty masks depending on the  degree of pigmentation and health issues.  Every facial will include extractions, hydration, calming ingredients, collagen stimulating antioxidants and protective treatments to send you back out into the environment.  Follow up sessions will cost between $105 and $200 depending on areas she will work on for you and  the technology or products she will use.

   Each clients programs are designed for best results in a timely manner.  Know that we have not found a quick fix for this mysterious and complicated skin condition, so come with your patience!  Home-care products will be selected depending on the aesthetician's evaluation and results of patch-testing ingredients for response and absorbency.

The Ultra Sonic Skin Rejuvenation

    The ultimate way to get your skin really clean!  In addition our Ultra Sonic Facial machine procedure will lighten age spots and acne scars.  It's painless and relaxing!   Some complexions are just too sensitive or reactive to use chemical peels, microdermabrasion or extractions so Ultra Sonic is for you if this describes your skin!   No crystals, no scrubbing, no steaming... sound waves! With a micro low vibration of 20,000 times per seconds(1 MHz) , the ultrasonic scrubbing stage stimulate the tissues and improves the permeability of cell membranes. Then, after deep cleaning the skin, we change the modulation to 1 million times per second to improve the efficiency of product absorption and activity for the anti-aging, toning or healing aspect of your treatment.  During the treatment, the generation of frictional heat is helpful to accelerate blood circulation, muscle relaxation and decompose the sebum and any toxins stored away in the layers of skin. Equipped with three treatment heads for easy access of targeted area, this exquisite facial treatment results in...
• Firmer skin, reduction in facial lines, wrinkles and crows feet
• Reduces puffiness and discoloration around the eyes
• Stimulates blood and lymph circulation
• Regeneration of skin cells which improves healing, tone and color
• Reduction of  age spots, freckles and acne marks
• Facilitates the absorption of skin care products
• Ultrasonic waves can dissolve local fats, releasing blackheads
• Diminishes  expression and stress lines


1 hour facial treatment is $150.00 for face and neck

Face, neck and décolletage is $195.00 and 1.5 hour

Keys to Great Eyebrows

   Eyebrow shaping will  vary with each individual - in shape, size, length, and color. A person’s face shape, cheekbones, and nose all effect the outcome of their brow shape. What I always try to achieve is a very well groomed natural arch that will enhance all of your features and soften your look.  If you (or previous cosmetician) have been too aggressive, I may only do a little work your first visit and make you go a few weeks without tweezers until I have something to work with.  It'll be worth it!  

Lash Perms 

   Get a semi-permanent, uniform and waterproof curl for straight, short or wildly curved lashes.  This is great for those women sick and tired of using a lash curler every morning (and damaging their lashes). Men, this treatment can look very natural so if you want more information, phone us for a consultation: (503)310-4649. 

   Perms last up to 90 days.  Top it off with a lash tint and you can reduce the number of times you need to apply mascara!   Takes about 1 very restful hour for the session as you simply lay with your eyes closed and relax to soothing music.  Joy-Marie has been applying these perms for over 15 years.  The cost for perm alone is $55.  With lash tint afterwards, $75.  Get your brows waxed and tinted the same visit: $100 package, savings of over $25.
