Therapeutic Skin Care

While we welcome those in search of the perfect facial, we also believe that skin care goes way beyond this basic treatment. In fact, we refer to our services at our Wayne NJ facility as “Therapeutic Skin Care” because we want to find the root causes of your problem skin, and then suggest a plan of action that will keep your skin in balance going forward. We are big believers in home care: i.e. taking good care of your skin between visits, through changes in your diet, habits, and the application of the correct products.

As a skin care professional, lead esthetician Isabel Viveros Ciampi aims to make an impact on her clients’ lives by personalizing and adding new dimensions to routine treatments. Isabel’s faithful clientele rave about her willingness to listen, her eagerness to share her knowledge and her interest in helping them look their best.

Isabel’s specialty areas are the treatment of acne and rosacea, which are always followed up with a detoxifying Lymphatic Drainage massage. Since she is also a licensed massage therapist with years of experience, this phase of the treatment is especially delightful!

Isabel’s skin care credentials

Isabel obtained a University level skin care degree in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 2001, complementing years of skin-care related study in specialized institutes over the course of the 1990s. Her University degree in skin care included classroom training from dermatologists, kinesiologists, cosmetic chemists, microbiologists, and other physicians, followed by internships in the dermatology units of local Buenos Aires hospitals.

Upon relocation to the US in 2003, she enrolled in the Atelier Esthétique Institute of Esthetics in Manhattan in order to familiarize herself with accepted American methods. Since then, she has attended advanced training classes in the International Dermal Institute in Manhattan, the Circadia Institute of Advanced Aesthetics, and the Advanced Aesthetics Training Institute among many others.

We begin with a thorough consultation and evaluation, during which time it may become evident that a particular makeup ingredient, habit or health issue is behind a skin reaction or disorder. We may recommend that you stop using a certain product for a time to see if it’s causing the reaction. You should not be shy about asking Isabel to clear up doubts you may have about your at-home cleansing and make-up routine.

As opposed to salons and spas that sell just one line of products, we carefully select the most effective products from the top international brands, providing us with a range of alternatives to work with. You will also not be put in the uncomfortable position of being offered additional products and services in the middle of your facial! We want the entire process to be as relaxing as possible.
