What's
the best facial treatment for my skin?
Our aesthetician can make a recommendation at the time of your
treatment, after analyzing your skin, assessing its current conditions,
and finding out more about your needs and goals. We believe in
careful, sensitive treatments performed largely by hand in the
European tradition. Please inform us of any special conditions
requiring extra care. Our programs offer a more intensive treatment
option for specific short-term objectives.
Our
Dermal Analysis and home care consultations are available at no
charge. We can help you decide on the best skin care regimen,
and it doesn't have to mean tossing out everything,you're using
right now.
Deep
Cleansing Facials
For dry or aging skins, a facial moisturizes, lubricates, and
oxygenates. In troubled skins, a facial reduces oiliness, congestion
and blemishes. FaciaIs also firm lazy muscles, tighten pores,
erase tiny lines, eliminate black heads and whiteheads, speed
up sloughing off of dry, dead cells, refine texture of skin and
improve color.
At
Linda LaVelle's we will provide you with a carefully plotted home
care program to meet your skin's specific needs. Amazing results
have been achieved in one month with combined facials and at-home
consistent care.

Massage
benefits everyone - from the tiniest premature infant to the elderly
and those with all manner of conditions. "Preemies"
experience greater weight gain and shorter hospital stays; HIV
patients experience an increase in immune system function; depressed
patients experience a lift in mood; chronic pain sufferers experience
reduced pain; elders show less evidence of senility; and arthritics
gained increased mobility.
Dr.
Saul Schanberg, biological psychiatry specialist at Duke University
Medical Center, says, "We are hard-wired from birth to touch
and be touched for survival." Researchers have found that
something as simple as putting your hand on another's shoulder
reduces heart rate, lowers blood pressure and stimulates the brain
to release endorphins - the body's natural painkillers. In addition
to proven physiological benefits, touch therapies also induce
"a relaxation response" through changes in brain waves.
According to Michael Picard, massage therapist at Westglow Spa
in New York, "The body has forgotten what relaxation is ..."
