  • What is microdermabrasion?

    Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive skincare procedure that uses a machine to exfoliate and remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells. This can improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and promote the growth of new, more youthful skin. It's often used to address issues like uneven skin tone, sun damage, and mild scarring. We offer 3 microdermabrasion packages at Icon Salons which include Express, Hydrate & Enzyme.

  • What is a chemical peel?

    A chemical peel is a cosmetic procedure that involves applying a chemical solution to the skin to exfoliate the outer layers. This process encourages the shedding of damaged or dead skin cells, promoting the growth of new, smoother skin. Chemical peels can address various skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven pigmentation, depending on the type and strength of the peel used. We offer 3 chemical peel packages at Icon Salons which include Enzyme, Brightening & Ageless.

  • What is dermaplaning?

    Dermaplaning is a cosmetic procedure that involves using a sterile surgical scalpel to gently scrape away the top layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the face. This process aims to reveal smoother, brighter skin and can enhance the effectiveness of skincare products. Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliation technique often used for skin rejuvenation. We offer 3 microdermabrasion packages at Icon Salons which include express, hydrate & enzyme.

  • What is skin needling?

    Skin needling, also known as micro needling or collagen induction therapy, is a cosmetic procedure that involves using a device with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body's natural healing response, promoting collagen and elastin production. Skin needling is used to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and scars, and enhance overall skin appearance. This procedure does come with a small amount of discomfort but numbing cream can be used if necessary.
