WHAT IS THE FIRST STEP?
The First Step is our introductory treatment that is customized based on your specific skin concerns. This complimentary service allows you to experience what SKN BAR RX has to offer and includes dermaplaning or a renewal peel. Dermaplaning is an exfoliating technique using a rounded surgical blade to physically remove dry dead skin and vellus hair, while the renewal peel is a PHA (poly-hydroxy acids) peel, which is a newly discovered form of chemical exfoliation.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT DURING THE FIRST STEP?
When you arrive, you are offered a choice of the SKN BAR RX signature water (mint, lime and cucumber infusion) or a variety of other teas or espresso drinks.
After enjoying our refreshments, you will receive a tour of our space and learn about the various skin care products and services that we offer, and which options are the best for you. We will also take photos of your skin using an Observ 520x camera (pictured), which will show your skin under different lighting conditions allowing us to see the various layers of your skin and its conditions.
After your skin analysis, we will move into the treatment portion of your visit. During this step, based on your skin analysis, the aesthetician assisting you will treat you with dermaplaning or the renewal peel.

After your First Step treatment, your skin will be smoother and softer, and your skin will have an even tone and texture. You will find that your skin care products will have better penetration, and makeup applies easier.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THE RENEWAL PEEL?
Have you been looking for a peel best for all skin types, especially sensitive? A peel that requires no down time and no pre or post procedure skincare adjustments? This is what our Renewal Peel can do for you.
This Ultraceuticals peel is a chemical exfoliation and essential to dissolve dead skin cells that may be leading to clogged pores, dull complexion and dehydrated looking skin. Some of the most common types of chemical exfoliation include AHA’s (alpha-hydroxy acids), BHA’s (beta-hydroxy acids) and PHA’s (poly-hydroxy acids), which are a newly discovered form of chemical exfoliation. PHA’s can be more universally tolerated and has many benefits such as minimal to no irritation or downtime. The PHA’s also help to strengthen the barrier function of the skin, because of humectant and antioxidant properties. This is a lighter peel that is more user friendly and therefore great for a more dry and sensitive skin type.
As a result, the Renewal peel effectively cleans and exfoliates the skin, leaving the skin feeling supple, instantly smoothed skin texture, and leaves the skin feeling rejuvenated and brighter. Directly after, skin is more luminous and glowing, and patients see an instant reduction in the appearance of their fine lines and wrinkles.
