Facials

Create a healthy and glowing complexion with a professional facial that can help reduce signs of aging, sun damage, and uneven textures and tones.

WHAT IS A FACIAL?

Following a consistent at-home skin care routine can help keep your skin looking and feeling good, but every now and then, you may want a little more help with a medical-grade facial. Customized to meet the needs and concerns of your complexion, we suggest regular professional facials for our community to keep their skin radiant and healthy. After a thorough consultation to assess visible and hidden damage, the appropriate medical-grade products and techniques will be chosen to rejuvenate your complexion. To further refresh and pamper your skin, enhance your facial by getting a complementary procedure, such as a chemical peel. Make your appointment for a professional facial at Refined Body + Wellness Oasis to elevate the beauty and health of your complexion.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM MY FACIAL?

Facials are often created to correct signs of aging (wrinkles, fine lines, dryness), improve damaged skin from the sun (dark spots, rough texture, and uneven tone), deep cleanse for acne and clogged pores, and brighten sallow and dull skin. Following a consultation at our upscale Pine Bluff, AR office, we’ll have you settle in a treatment room as your facial is performed. Your facial will be personalized; however, most will start with a deep cleansing to remove dirt, oil, and makeup. After cleaning your skin, steam is safely used to open clogged pores so blackheads and whiteheads can be extracted. This is usually followed by a type of exfoliation, either done by hand or with an add-on service (like a chemical peel). A mask or serum may be massaged into the skin for deep nourishment. To end the treatment, an SPF moisturizer selected for your skin type will be applied to protect from UV damage after the facial. Following your treatment, you may have mild irritation and redness, but this should fade throughout the day. Many patients will see clear improvements in the look and feel of their skin right after their treatment. We suggest regular follow-up appointments at Refined Body + Wellness Oasis to maintain your best results!

Sugar Waxing

Sugar waxing is the process of using a sugar paste (water, sugar, and citric acid) to remove hair from the body, leaving the skin smooth and soft.

WHAT IS SUGAR WAXING?

At Refined Body + Wellness Oasis of Pine Bluff, we practice the process of sugar waxing. This treatment is based on the ancient body hair removal process called “sugaring” that Egyptians used thousands of years ago to beautify their skin. This natural process uses a warm sugar paste containing sugar, water, and citric acid to remove unwanted hair from the body — in fact, it’s so natural, you could eat the solution, although we wouldn’t recommend it. The benefit of sugar waxing, other than being natural, is that it is warmed to your body temperature so there is no risk of burning and less swelling. The paste is also water-soluble, meaning it sticks only to dead skin cells rather than live cells; this is important because it means that rather than making the skin red, swollen, and irritated by removing live cells from the skin, sugar waxing will leave your skin feeling soft and smooth! For more information on this incredible procedure, contact our office today!

WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM SUGAR WAXING?

Your sugar waxing treatment will begin with one of our talented team members creating the sugar paste for your hair removal. The solution — a combination of water, sugar, and citric acid — is created, then warmed to body temperature. The paste is taken out of the pot and placed on your skin where the hair is to be removed. After the sugar paste, which looks like a honey solution, is applied to the skin, it will be pulled off and hair is removed. This process will be repeated until the session is complete. Because there is no re-dipping into the sugar pot, this is a more sanitary process than typical waxing. Even more, since the sugar content is so high, bacteria cannot grow in the pot, making it a safe hair-removal solution. Sugar waxing removes hair that is in the first phase of growth, the anagen phase. During this process, the bulb is also removed, which leads to less hair growth over time with repeat treatments (about 3 – 4). You should experience far less pain than a traditional waxing session, a relatively quick session of around 30 minutes, and wonderful results that leave your skin feeling soft and smooth.

A SUGARY SOLUTION FOR HAIR REMOVAL

While necessary in some points of view, waxing is often a painful process that can take a lot of time and typically leaves your skin swollen, red, and irritated afterward. Sugar waxing, however, is a process that has been around for thousands of years and is not only more sanitary but involves far less pain and even exfoliates your skin in the process, leaving it soft and smooth. For more information on sugar waxing, contact Refined Body + Wellness Oasis to schedule an appointment.

Chemical Peel

WHAT ARE CHEMICAL PEELS?

If you have visible problems on your skin, such as scaly patches, flaky skin, fine lines, sun spots, and more, you may greatly benefit from a chemical peel! To provide your ideal results from chemical peel treatments, Refined Body + Wellness Oasis provides you with numerous choices. Your individualized chemical peel will reveal healthier, smoother skin. At our office, we offer chemical peel treatments that decrease skin irregularities, including fine lines, wrinkles, scars, rough patches, hyperpigmentation issues, and more. Chemical peels remove damaged and dead skin cells, causing the top layer of skin to peel off to reveal a clearer, smoother complexion. Chemical peels at our office are a noninvasive technique to help you have a bright and glowing complexion on the face and neck.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM MY CHEMICAL PEEL?

Before your chemical peel, we will have a private consultation to discuss your chemical peel options. We offer a varying degree of chemical peels, from light peels to deep peels. The difference between these peels is the strength of the peel used, as well as the recovery period. On the day of your procedure at Refined Body + Wellness Oasis, we will have you relax in one of our comfortable procedure rooms while we administer your peel. We will ensure your skin is cleansed prior to applying the customized solution to your face and/or neck. We will spread the solution onto your skin and allow it to set for an appropriate length of time. Next, we will wash the peel off your face and put on a neutralizing agent. You are encouraged to bring a light sunscreen and a hat to wear outside after your treatment to avoid sun exposure. Depending on the level of the chemical peel you choose, you can expect your skin to peel and itch, from a few days to a couple of weeks. Someone from the team will explain how to treat your face after your procedure. Please remember that no matter how much your skin itches after your chemical peel, it’s not good to pull the skin off, as you may create scarring to your skin.

SILKY-SMOOTH SKIN STARTS HERE

If you’re looking to refresh, rejuvenate, and brighten your skin, Refined Body + Wellness Oasis can help you choose the ideal chemical peel to help you meet your goals. After your chemical peel, your freshly revived skin will respond by looking healthy and smooth. Contact our office to make an appointment for your skin assessment today for a personalized chemical peel.

Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a facial rejuvenation treatment that leaves your skin radiant and smooth after removing dead skin cells, scar tissue, and debris.

WHAT IS DERMAPLANING?

When skin rejuvenation treatments, such as facials and chemical peels, are not helping you attain the results you desire, but you aren’t interested in lasers and more invasive procedures, you may be a candidate for dermaplaning. Dermaplaning is a cutting-edge cosmetic procedure and facial rejuvenation treatment that smooths your skin by stripping away dead skin cells and fine facial hair for a radiant, youthful look. Also known as derma blading, this procedure is completed with a careful scraping technique with a facial blade. Our talented team is pleased to offer this popular, noninvasive skin treatment at [s1] Refined Body + Wellness Oasis. For more information or to schedule a consultation, give our office a call today.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM DERMAPLANING?

You may benefit from dermaplaning if you:

  • Want something other than chemical peels and facials
  • Do not have rosacea
  • Have fine facial hair
  • Don’t have sensitive skin
  • Have an uneven skin tone

Completed in our office as an outpatient procedure, dermaplaning is a safe and effective skin rejuvenation procedure. After cleaning the skin, your treatment will begin with a careful scraping of your skin’s surface with an exfoliating blade. The technician will make several passes over different parts of your skin similar to that of shaving, removing dead skin cells, scar tissue, and other debris until your face has been evenly treated. The amount of time needed will depend on the areas of your face being addressed. Following your dermaplaning session, you can expect your face to be red for a few days. It is common for some peeling to occur as your skin heals; however, it is important not to scratch or peel any skin off as this could cause scarring. Additionally, you should avoid prolonged exposure to the sun over the following weeks as your skin will be sensitive. You should start to notice results rather quickly since dermaplaning produces softer, smoother skin right away.

Microneedling

Microneedling is a noninvasive treatment that helps remedy skin issues, such as rough texture and low elasticity, as well as reduce scarring and more.

WHAT IS MICRONEEDLING? (Coming Soon)

If home skin treatments aren’t effective, but you don’t want surgery, nonsurgical skin rejuvenation treatments, such as microneedling, at Refined Body + Wellness Oasis may be just what you need. Our dedicated team is pleased to offer microneedling (collagen induction therapy) at our Arkansas office. It’s possible you could benefit from microneedling treatments if you experience light or mild skin problems, like rough skin texture or low elasticity, or if you’d like to minimize the appearance of pores, stretch marks, and/or scars. Microneedling uses many fine-gauge needles to safely and effectively create micro-injuries in the needed areas of your skin, which prompts the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin and increases the health and appearance of your complexion. Schedule a consultation at Refined Body + Wellness Oasis to hear more about the benefits of microneedling and ways to customize your treatment for your needs and goals.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM MY MICRONEEDLING TREATMENT?

Your microneedling treatment will be done in a private treatment room with numbing cream or local anesthesia if requested, but most patients experience mild pain and discomfort. You can expect your session to take between 30 – 60 minutes. The skin being treated will be cleansed before one of our skilled team members evenly passes our state-of-the-art microneedling hand piece over your treatment areas. After the microneedling is complete, a serum with a vitamin infusion may be applied so the nutrients can penetrate deeper into the skin. A moisturizer selected for your particular skin type will be massaged in along with sunscreen since the treated skin will be sensitive after the treatment. You may develop some redness and swelling, but this should fade in about a day. It could take 1 – 2 months to see visible improvements in your skin as it takes time for the collagen and elastin supplies to increase. Follow-up sessions every 4 – 6 weeks are suggested at our office for the best outcomes and long-term skin benefits.

HEALTHY AND GLOWING SKIN

Enhance the health and appearance of your skin with microneedling therapy at Refined Body + Wellness Oasis. This nonsurgical procedure can create dramatic results for the health and appearance of your skin. Microneedling boosts your natural collagen production for firmer, smoother skin.

NonSurgical Skin Tightening (RF; VelaShape & Emsculpt)

WHAT IS NONSURGICAL SKIN TIGHTENING?

Procedure during our younger years, we benefited from a copious reserve of collagen and elastin that makes our skin smooth and firm. As we age, this essential storage of nutrients is likely to deplete, causing our skin to lose volume. This results in lines, wrinkles, and droopy skin. When you want to boost the firmness of your skin without surgery, then you might think about nonsurgical skin tightening at Refined Body + Wellness Oasis. With the use of Venus Legacy and advanced radiofrequency (RF) technology, noninvasive skin tightening works to stimulate the natural generation of elastin and collagen so you can have more taut, healthier skin. Our incredible staff in Chicago, IL is pleased to offer nonsurgical skin tightening for those who want to rejuvenate and enhance their skin with long-lasting, noninvasive procedures.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM NONSURGICAL SKIN TIGHTENING?

Nonsurgical skin tightening sessions can be carried out for many parts of the body and face, including the abs, submental area, upper arms, and thighs to create a slimmer, toned, and fit appearance. We’ll begin your treatment by cleaning the areas of your skin to be treated. We may administer a topical numbing cream to soothe your skin during your procedure; however, most patients say that any minor pain is fast and manageable. From there, we will evenly pass the device over your skin multiple times for comprehensive results. This method helps prompt your own natural generation of collagen and elastin, which creates long-lasting supple and firm skin. Your session should last between 30 – 90 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Once we’re finished, you can get back to your everyday routine. Your treated areas may appear pink or inflamed, and your skin may feel uncomfortable following your procedure. However, any discomfort should resolve within a few days. Because the production of collagen and elastin can take time, you can expect to see your best results in the few months following your treatment. Outcomes following nonsurgical skin tightening generally last for a long time.

TRIM AND TONED

In the event that your goal is to keep your skin firm and tight, book an appointment at Refined Body + Wellness Oasis to hear more about nonsurgical skin tightening, a great noninvasive procedure that requires minimal recovery time and provides excellent results.
