“Reiki facials! Reiki goes to the cause of anything that needs help from the inside out. I do the ‘nuts and bolts’ work, as in I use organic skin care products, do relaxing massage and acupressure moves, whatever is desired or indicated externally for my clients—microderm, LED, ultrasonic, fruit enzyme peels, etc. And at the same time, I am also sending clients for Reiki. Talk about rejuvenation! Reiki brings about true transformation on the physical, spiritual, mental and emotional levels.”

“Hands down, it is our 50-minute ‘Turning Back The Hands of Time Facial.’ This facial gives my clients’ skin a second chance. This unique treatment not only utilizes an oxygen machine, but also incorporates multiple innovative products throughout the service. A microdermabrasion cream-based exfoliant, ultra-rich replenishing Co-enzyme Q10-based massage cream and a powerful seaweed-based lifting mask simply restore skin integrity, leaving my clients’ skin smoother and more radiant.”

“My clients rave about the Intraceutical Rejuvenating Facials that I offer. They truly rejuvenate clients’ skin to a time when they were 15 years younger.”

“I don’t think there’s one single best treatment for all people. Individual analysis of the client and his/her skin tells us which treatment to use. The best treatment is that which will give the individual client the best results, taking into account the client’s issues, interests and budget. However, the best, most effective anti-aging treatment is home care that supports professional treatments.”

“G.M. Collin’s Collagene 90-II Clinical Treatment is absolutely the best! It targets fine lines and wrinkles, dehydration, minimizes pores and so much more. It’s excellent for fatigued, mature skin. We’ve seen immediate and long-lasting results, even after just one facial.”

Harmony Falls Day Spa, Mt. Zion, Illinois
“The most effective anti-aging treatment I offer is the DNA Health Institute Cryo-Stem Treatment. It works with the skin at a cellular level to help repair damage and gives an immediately visible improvement that clients love.”
Virginia Trujillo
La Bonne Vie Day Spa, Scottsdale, Arizona
“We offer chemical peels as our main treatment for anti-aging. In addition, a home care regime must become second nature because what they do after they leave the office is so important to ongoing results. After a peel session or two and a good home care routine, we also recommend the LED/photorejuvenation series, as it helps keep everything in check.”
Kathy Dailey
Rosewood Healthcare & Wellness Spa, Wesley Chapel, Florida
“The best anti-aging treatment we offer is a facial with microderm using Monarch products. I think this line is superior for its use of peptides and botanicals, without using any kind of artificial preservative or color.”
Barbra Archibeque
Back by Demand, Riverside, California
“Face Value clients love purchasing a series package of microdermabrasion treatments alternating with customized chemical peels to accelerate their results. With the series purchase, they receive a complimentary 11-piece Intensive Anti-Aging Trial System to maintain and create positive skin changes at home.”

Face Value, Mountain View, California
