Because we believe that beauty is more than skin-deep, we go beyond traditional superficial methods used by many salons. Instead, we base our facials on the health-oriented dual principles of detoxification and nourishment. Our clients go out into the world with a radiant glow on their faces, thanks to our unique facial regeneration treatments that actually cleanse, tone and nourish the skin. We help our clients understand how to care for their skin themselves so it remains as supple and radiant at home as when they leave our spa. Each of our facials begins with a facial steam.

Facial Regeneration

La Casa's signature facial includes cleansing, toning, exfoliation, masque & moisturizing finish. We begin with the application of warmed, herbally drenched towels to open facial pores. We then take you through a series of steps in which tissue cleansing takes place. Our algae & seaweed masque works to re-mineralize your skin for cellular repair & rejuvenation, improving elasticity and firming your skin. This is followed by re-mineralization in which essential nutrients are replenished with a healthy “drink” of our nutrient-rich algae wash.

Anti-Aging Facial

The 3 magic bullets of face care: Ester C dramatically rebuilds collagen & elastin. Alpha lipoic acid has powerful anti-aging properties & is 400 times stronger than Vitamins E & C combined! Remodels collagen & creates blood flow to the skin. DMAE stimulates muscles to contract & tighten. Keeps your face firm & contoured.

Facial Acupuncture (for anti-aging)

Facial Acupuncture is an ancient treatment that uses principles of acupuncture. It promotes anti-aging in the face and neck. Sterile needles are inserted into acupuncture points in the face as well as into strategic points in the body and the ear to bring whole-body systemic balance.

Our facial acupuncture includes massage techniques of lymphatic drainage.

Questions about acupuncture at La Casa:

Does acupuncture really work?

Yes. Acupuncture is used successfully on dogs, cats, horses and other animals who have no sense of expectation. A positive attitude never hurts, but is not necessary.

How many treatments will you need?

This depends on the response of your body; everyone is different. But in our experience with facial acupuncture, you will see noticeable, lasting results after 8-10 sessions.

Is there pain?

The needles we use are so thin that there is usually no pain. In the case that there is pain, it is minimal and only upon insertion of the needles. Once the needles are in place, there is never pain.

Do’s and don’ts for the day of the treatment:

• Don’t eat an unusually large meal
• Don’t consume alcohol, engage in sexual activity or over-exercise for 6 hours before or after treatment
• Do plan to relax after treatment
• Do pay attention to your responses to treatment and discuss with the acupuncturist at your next appointment
