years of of reading skin. Corrective facials, dermaplaning & microchanneling in Greenwood, Indiana

A spa facial is built around relaxation, and there is nothing wrong with that. A corrective facial is built around a diagnosis. It starts with an honest read on what your skin is actually doing right now — not what it did last year — and the products, exfoliation, and technique are chosen from there. You leave with a plan, not just a glow.

Dermaplaning uses a sterile surgical blade held at an angle to lift away dead surface cells and the fine vellus hair most people call peach fuzz. It does not hurt. Most clients describe it as a light scraping sensation, and many find it relaxing. There is no downtime — makeup goes on smoother immediately afterward, which is why it is popular before events.

At TLC it is usually paired with a full corrective facial as the Gold Star Dermaplane Facial Combo.

No. This is the single most common worry, and it comes from a myth about shaving that has been around for a century. Dermaplaning removes vellus hair at the surface; it does nothing to the follicle beneath, which is what determines how thick or dark a hair is. It grows back exactly as it was. The blunt cut edge can feel slightly different for a few days, which is where the myth comes from.

Procell creates thousands of microscopic channels in the skin. That does two things at once: it prompts your body's own healing response, and it opens a path for professional growth-factor serums to reach the depth where they actually do something.

It can be directed at the face and neck for fine lines, acne scarring, pigmentation, enlarged pores, and texture; at the body for scars and stretch marks; or at the scalp to support fuller-looking hair. Downtime is minimal, and it works as a series rather than a single visit.

Yes, but tell me before we start. Retinoids, tretinoin, and prescription acne treatments thin the surface of the skin and raise sensitivity, so I adjust how much exfoliation I do and how strong the products are. Handled properly, a facial supports that medical treatment by keeping pores clear and calming inflammation. Handled without knowing, it can leave you raw. If you are working with a dermatologist, I work around their protocol.

Yes, and it is the part of this work I know best. Falling estrogen changes skin measurably — it holds less water, produces less oil, loses firmness faster, and often turns reactive or breaks out in ways it never did before. Routines that worked for years stop working, and it feels like the skin belongs to someone else.

The starting point is usually the Menopause Consultation: a focused sit-down to map what is actually happening and build a plan around it, rather than guessing product by product.

For general maintenance, every four to six weeks tracks with the skin's own turnover cycle. Corrective work aimed at a specific concern — scarring, pigmentation, texture — usually runs as a shorter series of closer-spaced visits, then settles into maintenance. We decide together at your first appointment; there is no package you have to commit to up front.

Almost everyone starts with the My TLC Facial. We talk first — what your skin has been doing, what you have tried, what is frustrating you — and then I work. Every appointment is one-to-one, start to finish. You leave with clean, calm skin and a plan you understand, including what to do at home, which usually costs less than what you were doing before.

Because a price list on a website goes stale the moment anything changes, and there is nothing more frustrating than arriving expecting one number and hearing another. Current pricing and availability live on the booking page, which is always accurate.

The My TLC Facial, without much question. It is the appointment where I get to know your skin rather than assume things about it — what you have been using, what has changed, what is actually bothering you — and the treatment is built around what I find that day. It also tells us both whether you would do better with regular facials or with something corrective. Starting anywhere else means guessing, and guessing on someone else's skin is how people end up irritated and discouraged.

The My TLC Facial is diagnostic and adjustable — it suits any skin type, including reactive skin, because I set the intensity as I go. The Gold Star Dermaplane Facial combines dermaplaning with a chemical peel, so it is two forms of exfoliation in one appointment, and it is meant for skin I already know. If I have not treated you before, I will ask you to start with the My TLC Facial. That is not caution for its own sake — I have no way to predict how your barrier responds until I have worked on it once.

Procell works by prompting your own healing response, and that process is gradual — collagen does not remodel in an afternoon. In practice that means four to six appointments a few weeks apart, with improvement that accumulates rather than arriving all at once. You are not signing a contract and you can stop whenever you want. I am simply telling you the truth about what produces a result, because one session of a series treatment is mostly a preview.

It may be. It uses the same microchanneling on the scalp, along with professional serums, to support a healthier environment for the hair you have. It suits people noticing thinning or a change in density who want to be proactive, and like the skin version it works as a series, slowly. What I will not do is promise regrowth. Hair loss has many causes — thyroid, iron, medication, genetics — and if what I am seeing suggests a medical cause, I will say so and tell you to have it looked at.
