Out of this world facials

13 Oct

The new high tech skincare trend of LED facial masks and devices can be seen everywhere from YouTube to Instagram…it’s especially popular with celebrities and celebrity estheticians. Why? LLLT (low level light therapy) is the new cutting edge anti-aging regimen.

What is LLLT and how was it developed? Well, it’s a bit of an “out of this world” story 🤣…Sources indicate that NASA first harnessed light-emitting diode (LED) power to enable plants to grow on the space shuttle in zero gravity. Later, NASA scientists utilized LED therapy to accelerate the wound healing for astronauts. (Read more here The Facial That Came From Outer Space)

What does LED therapy do for the skin? Essentially, various wavelengths of light penetrate to different depths of the skin. We view these various wavelengths as different colors. The most commonly used wavelengths utilized for benefitting the skin are red and blue. Red stimulates fibroblasts in the skin to produce collagen and speeds heeling/repair (diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles). Blue kills bacteria that causes acne. Additionally, some of the best factors regarding LED treatments are that they are painless and non-invasive with no downtime.

At Rox Skin Studio, LLC, I have previously utilized LED therapy in a variety of treatments and seen the results first hand. I’m excited to share that I have recently added a Celluma® PRO light panel to the treatment room. This panel allows me to treat the entire face at one time, and also allows me some additional LLLT treatment options. Here’s some inspiring before and after photos utilizing the Celluma® PRO.

  • Celluma® PRO for Acne
  • Celluma® PRO for Anti-Aging

Be sure to ask about how LLLT and Celluma® PRO could benefit your skin, and I’d be happy to share options for incorporating this amazing tool into your treatments.

See you Soon! – Roxanna

Summertime brings the excitement of travel and experiencing new things! With Rhonda Allison’s Skincation Summer Series you can experience the wonders of travel without ever leaving home! This is a series of 3 – 45 minute express facials designed to help exfoliate nourish and restore summer-depleted skin. Ideally, start treatments in June by tantalizing the senses with a tropical bouquet of Maui. In July, it’s off to the exotic flower essence of Tahiti.

Men Need Facial Treatments, Too

22 Feb
Rox Skin Studio best spa plano facial warm towelHad a new gentleman client in the studio recently…so here’s a good article (from Men’s Health of course…don’t just take my word for it) illustrating why it’s good for men to get facials, too.

“In fact, probably more than the ladies, guys need facials, thanks to their coarser skin, larger pores, and increased chance of sun damage. ”

It may be intimidating for guys that have never had a facial before…but trust me – booking the appointment is the toughest part. I’ve had several men clients get their their first treatment here…and they’ve quickly learned to LOVE their skin care appointments.  Book a Men’s Facial online.

Get Glowing – Featured Product – Cherry Jubilee Enzyme

08 Feb

Featured in our February special Sweetheart Facial  (book online) is the decadent and delicious smelling Cherry Jubilee Enzyme.

Cherry Jubilee is a potent antioxidant rejuvenator. Every client “oohs and aaahs” over the delicious cherry aroma. Better yet, clients enjoy the healthy glow the cherry enzymes impart on the skin.  Clients say skin is instantly smoother, softer, and feels plumper.  The primary benefit of this enzyme is the natural polyphenols (flavanoids) that are incredibly rich in antioxidants. This formula contains potent pro-youth value that mimics the strength of lactic acid and helps provide gentle exfoliation, giving skin a radiant glow and a younger, more healthy-looking appearance.

How to help skin look younger – Featured Product – Growth Factor Serum

20 Jan

What happens to the skin as it ages?

Well, what we really notice first and foremost is the desquamation process (shedding of dead skin cells) slows down. Consequently, our skin doesn’t retain moisture as well, and can appear rough, uneven and lacking the radiance of youth. Also, as the skin ages- we start to see the formation of lines and wrinkles as well as loss of firmness/tone due to the breakdown and slowdown of production of collagen and elastin in the dermis (middle layer of the skin).

So, what can we do to help skin look younger?

My top recommendations:
1) Protect (always wear sunscreen…did I say always?!)
2) Exfoliate (regular at home exfoliation and/or professional facial treatments help facilitate the removal of dead surface cells)
3) Nourish (moisturizer and growth factor serums hydrate and strengthen skin)

Speaking of nourish…Are you familiar with EGF (epidermal growth factor) as a skin care ingredient? Epidermal Growth Factor increases cell renewal after any exfoliation and assists the skin in wound healing. It is an excellent home care maintenance product in that it nourishes and provides support that slows down the aging of the skin. By topically providing the skin with this essential nutrient, the skin experiences a healthier outcome.


If you have questions about how to incorporate a Growth Factor serum into your routine, please ask. I’m happy to help!
