Triple Crown Facial

IN SHEILA’S WORDS
    I entered the intimate spa environment of Joanna Vargas Skin Care full of excitement; I was eager to see how one Triple Crown Facial session would give me a naturally rejuvenated appearance—I’d never want the pain, downtime or “fake” look of more invasive procedures. The initial exfoliation felt like a gentle “vacuuming” of the skin—it left my face squeaky clean, which not only felt pleasant, but also prepared my face to maximize the Triple Crown Facial’s anti-aging results.
    The microcurrent came next. Though the notion of electricity coursing through my face was a little daunting, the experience was quite relaxing; I only felt a pleasant tingling sensation as the mild electrical current stimulated my facial muscles like a gym workout. As she worked on my face, Joanna explained that this type of microcurrent has been used medically for over 50 years and was especially useful in toning the skin and assisting with toxin removal.
    The final step, oxygenation, delivers nutrition deep into the facial tissues. I found the oxygenation to be incredibly invigorating; in fact, it reminded me of being in the Caribbean, standing under a waterfall surrounded by highly oxygenated, energized water and air.
After the treatment, my skin felt much younger—I didn’t want to touch it for fear that the “refreshed” sensation might fade. I enjoyed the skin moisture, tone and texture of a more youthful version of myself. I love that the Triple Crown Facial was so soothing, as opposed to the nerve-wracking nature of more invasive cosmetic procedures. The positive results of this facial were dramatic...I think it’s an amazing treatment that gives your skin a great look without going to the extreme of surgery.

Step 1
Diamond Peel Exfoliation uses a diamond fragment-tipped wand that gently sloughs off dead skin cells.
















Step 2
Microelectric Currents stimulate facial muscles,
which tones and detoxifies
the skin while smoothing away fine lines and wrinkles.















Step 3
Oxygenation uses the rejuvenating power of oxygen
and natural nutrition to nourish skin cells, resulting in a glowing,
vibrant visage.

    Plastic surgery is going out of fashion. People are realizing that there’s no quick fix; they have to take care of their own skin as naturally as possible. I believe that the future of skin care lies not in invasive procedures, but in organic products and energetic treatments like those used in the Triple Crown Facial.
    The first Triple Crown Facial step is the “Diamond Peel” exfoliation, which uses a diamond fragment-tipped wand that gently sloughs off dead skin cells. This step is especially good for sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles. The microcurrent that follows promotes lymphatic drainage, which eliminates excess water and facial puffiness; stimulates elastin production, which tightens skin; and tones facial muscles for especially visible results in the eyelid, neck and jawline areas. The final step infuses the skin with pure oxygen, green tea, hylaronic acid and serums of vitamins A, C and E. This hydrates and regenerates new skin cells while promoting elastin and collagen production, ultimately firming the skin, reducing lines and wrinkles, eliminating skin bacteria and stimulating skin metabolism.
    All of these steps add up to a glowing, dewy, tightening effect in the skin—which we need now more than ever. We live in a very polluted society. People are aging faster because of our toxic environment; organic living presents an anti-aging solution. Introducing skin to pure ingredients and using modern technology like microcurrent provides tissues with extra energy, restoring health and vitality. I also absolutely insist that my clients take vitamins. I say eat cleanly, eat healthfully and get the right nutrition...you’ll see better results, always.
