Holistic Skin Care at Chill Space NYC

Holistic skincare is an approach to skin health that considers the entire person, focusing not only on the skin but also on factors such as diet, lifestyle, and emotional well-being. When our esthetician talks about holistic skincare, she refers to practices and treatments grounded in a philosophy of the interconnectivity between the skin and the rest of the body. Here's a deeper look into what holistic skincare involves when provided by a Chill Space esthetician:

• Individualized Care: A holistic esthetician will typically begin with a thorough assessment of your skin and your lifestyle habits, stress levels, and any other aspects of your life that can affect your skin health.

• Natural Ingredients: Holistic skincare is characterized by using natural and organic skincare products. Our Estheticians may use products containing essential oils, plant extracts, and botanicals that are thought to be gentler on the skin and better for overall health.

• Non-Invasive Techniques: Holistic skincare often emphasizes non-invasive treatments. This might include gentle facial massages that promote circulation, lymphatic drainage to support natural detoxification, or acupressure to balance the body's energy pathways.

• Mind and Body Connection: Holistic estheticians incorporate elements that address emotional well-being, such as aromatherapy or relaxation techniques. These techniques positively impact skin health by reducing stress and promoting a sense of calm.

• Educational Approach: Part of holistic skincare is educating clients on caring for their skin at home using natural products and how their lifestyle choices affect their skin. Our Esthetician may provide guidance on nutrition, hydration, sleep, and exercise as part of an integrated skincare routine.

• Preventative Focus: Our treatments focus on correcting skin issues and preventing problems before they start by maintaining overall health and well-being.

In essence, when an esthetician implements a holistic skincare approach, they are treating the skin as a reflection of the whole self, catering to the body's internal needs as well as external care, and aiming for sustainable and long-term skin health and beauty.

Facial Lymphatic Drainage Massage

Lymphatic drainage massage on the face is a gentle massaging technique designed to stimulate the circulation of lymph fluids around the face. The lymphatic system is a key part of the immune system, acting kind of like the body's internal drainage system; it helps to remove waste and toxins from the bodily tissues.

A lymphatic drainage facial massage uses light pressure and rhythmic circular movements to encourage the lymph fluids to move and drain out of the facial tissues. It can help reduce puffiness, encourage brighter complexion, and diminish swelling by guiding excess fluid towards the lymph nodes where it can be processed and removed from the body. It can also be a relaxation technique for those who want to alleviate stress or improve their skin condition.

Red Light Therapy

Red light therapy (RLT), also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), photobiomodulation (PBM), and light box therapy, is a treatment that uses specific wavelengths of red light to treat skin issues, such as wrinkles, scars, and persistent wounds, among other conditions.

When used for the face, red light therapy is intended to help enhance collagen production, which gives the skin its elasticity, reduces inflammation, and increases circulation. This can help with anti-aging efforts, as increased collagen may reduce fine lines and wrinkles. It's also used to treat acne and rosacea, as it can help reduce inflammation and boost skin healing.

What sets our Light Stim LED Red Light Pro panel apart from others is that there are 4 specific wavelengths including amber, light, dark and infrared. It is also know to help with post surgical recovery, reversing UV damage and will leave you with a natural, plump glow.

Cryofacials

Our cryofacial treatment involves applying cold temperatures to the face using a device that emits a controlled mist of compressed CO2, not nitrogen. The treatment is non-invasive and generally quick, often taking only about 10 minutes. The idea is that the cold temperature causes vasoconstriction (the narrowing of blood vessels), which can lead to various potential benefits:

• Reduction of Inflammation and Puffiness: The cold can reduce swelling and inflammation by slowing down blood flow to the area.

• Stimulation of Collagen Production: Cold temperatures are believed to boost collagen production in the deeper layers of skin, potentially reducing fine lines and wrinkles over time and promoting skin elasticity.

• Enhanced Circulation: Following vasoconstriction, the blood vessels then dilate, a process known as vasodilation. This can increase blood flow to the skin after the treatment, which might contribute to a glowing complexion.

• Pore Size Reduction: The cold exposure can lead to temporary tightening of the skin and a reduction in the appearance of pores.

• Reduction in Sebum Production: Cryofacials also help regulate oil production on the skin, which is beneficial for people with oily skin or acne.

• Soothing Effect: The treatment can be soothing to irritated or overheated skin, which is why it's sometimes used after more invasive skin procedures. Helps relieve chronic migraines, headaches, sinus pressure, and TMJ.

• Increase Endorphin Levels: The cooling procedure might also help in releasing endorphins, which can provide a feeling of well-being.
