This is the Ultimate Anti-ageing Treatment. IT consists of a combination of three techniques. Customized for your looking younger needs.

It may include any of the following; Microcurrent Technology, LED, Microphototherapy, Microdermabrasion, Ultrasonic Spatula or Dermafile Treatment.
Shaving your face is a fine way to get rid of unwanted hair for a very short period of time, but it has some serious drawbacks. For starters, it often leaves short hairs behind known as stubble. The results don't last long so you'll be shaving again in a day or two. Your skin may react poorly causing shave bumps.
If you're searching for a solution for those unwanted scars, unsightly acne, or just unusually dry skin, then a chemical peel may be just what the doctor ordered. Chemical peels are treatments applied to the face and sometimes the neck. The peels penetrate deep into the skin and provide exfoliating properties.
Diamond microdermabrasion has recently taken the lead as one of the most popular cosmetic treatments in the country. It is a new variation of the more classical crystal microdermabrasion, but with several significant benefits. If you suffer from light scarring, discoloration, age spots, wrinkles, sagging, or fine lines, then you are an eligible candidate for diamond microdermabrasion.

Ellen will make your skin look and feel amazing!! She is professional, caring, knowledgeable, and makes the experience comfortable and easy. She is creative (Arctic Cranberry Microdermabrasion Treatment!!) and is always adding new equipment and services to her repertoire. If you're looking for glowing skin and want an honest, experienced esthetician, then you must try Ellen at Skin Essentials.

I saw all the good reviews and decided to go there for chemical peeling of my sun/aging spots, after a week the only peeling I got was a small piece of skin on my nose, (I could've gotten that from standing in the sun for couple of hours) it was a waist of my time and money. When I told her that I did not peel you think she would've offered a complimentary do over or a discounted rate for another treatment, but I guess not. She might be good with other treatments but not chemical peeling in my opinion. I would never go back there again.

As i sit here beautifully shedding skin from one of Ellen's amazing peels, I thought it was time to finally update my review. Ellen is one of the most talented estheticians you will find - through the years that i have stayed with her, i can see that she is so knowledgeable on skincare and is sure to stay up to date on the newest technology/skin care break throughs. She genuinely loves her clients - from always testing out new products on herself before ever using on her clients to consistently checking in on her clients after treatment to even remembering upcoming important days you have

Ellen is a very knowledgeable professional with very modern technologies in hand. She is very consistent on reading my skin and developing just the treatment for that day. Whether the focus is acne scars, aging, dryness, I always leave with much improved skin texture. The quality of my skin has improved dramatically since seeing Ellen, she is the best professional in the area in my experience.

Ellen is so knowlegable and professional at what she does! She keeps herself educated and up on all the newest trendsand has such a sweet personality. I had the wonerful opportunity to try out Ellen's new LED service. I guess I should also note that I am also an esthetician but only practice permanent cosemetics so I know the difference! I truly felt an improved tightness in my skin for days after the treatment. I will do a series as she recommended to acheive optimal results. I am so excitied to have someone I trust to send my clients to. I highly reccommend you try her services and see

What can I say... Ellen is a miracle worker!! Not only is she extremely knowledgeable and skilled in her field; she identifies and costumes her treatments to fit your needs which to me that was something I have been looking for a while. Most importantly and my very favorite part she is Gem and very compassionate (I LOVE HER). I have been going to Ellen for a little over a month and my skin looks a million times better, I had very bad acne scars, sun damage and uneven skin, although we have a way to go... every time I see my friends now they always compliment my skin. I'm an extremely picky

When it came time for me to find a new esthetician, I turned here to yelp, and found 5 star Ellen.
The reviews are true, she is fantastic! She knows skin, she understands the connection between diet and complexion, she has an arsenal of skin perfecting devices and products, and best of all she is down to earth and easy to love.
I have acnegenic skin and a stressful lifestyle. Ellen has customized my treatments to address the scarring, the breakouts, and the uneven skin tone. My skin looks better and better each day. I can actually leave the house confidently with no make up, and I never
