A Jet Peel? Your skin has never felt so clean!

The confusion of a Jet Peel is easy to understand. The name alone seems to suggest a procedure that could peel a layer of your skin off in rapid time, very invasive. This couldn’t be further from the truth! No needles, no redness, no down time. The all-natural, virtually painless procedure combines oxygen and vitamin infused saline applied at a very fast speed. The treatment reaches the dermis laying unclogging pores, diminishing acne, scars, wrinkling or problems with pigmentation, dramatically improving the appearance and texture of your skin.  Jet Peel treatments are highly effective in wrinkle reduction, skin texture improvement, and overall skin rejuvenation. It is also very helpful with acne, removing blackheads and other comedone eruptions quickly and effortlessly without pain or discomfort.

 This unique procedure works simultaneously on five different levels at once:
* Deep Cleanses
* Exfoliates
* Hydrates
* Oxygenates
* Micro-circulates the treated area

How many Jet Peel treatments are needed?

Jet Peels are usually recommended in a series of treatment sessions. The actual number will be determined by your skin care professional depending on your individual needs. However, most people are recommended to receive a series of six, 7 to 10 days apart. Thereafter, maintenance treatments are performed as needed. Jet Peels can be combined with and enhance other treatments such as chemical peels and laser resurfacing.

How will I look and feel after the Jet Peel?

During the actual treatment your skin may become light pink or become slightly lighter in color depending on your skin type. Within 15 to 30 minutes after the treatment, your skin will return to its natural color so that you can immediately return to your normal activities. There is no discomfort  and your face will feel rejuvenated and fresh. The treatment is relaxing yet refreshing at the same time, a definite must!

 Is the Jet Peel safe?

Jet Peel is a simple and safe treatment. In fact, the fundamental basis of all cell growth and repair requires both oxygen and water. The Jet Peel delivers both of these in ample quantities deep within the skin in a supersonic infusion style technology.

There is nothing intimidating about this procedure unless you’re taken back by a sparkling clean face and a remarkably refreshed feeling! Once you experience your skin after a Jet Peel, you will be hooked.

What’s a Body Wrap?
*before and after pictures at the bottom

Did you know that 97% of Americans are mineral deficient? Think about that, 97%!  Unlike vitamins, your body cannot naturally reproduce minerals. Minerals are essential to maintaining a healthy lifestyle and metabolism, not to mention an optimal jean size! Minerals are great for memory and focus as well as energy and the regulation of mood elevations.

How does it work?

The body wrap releases toxins from the body through metabolic stimulation. An esthetician will place mineral soaked warm elastic bandages on your legs, working her way up, until you are completed wrapped. The minerals found in the beauty body wrap are magnesium, potassium, calcium, boron, copper, iron, oxygen, and hydrogen. In addition, there’s a large concentration of collagen to help lift and tone the skin. Collagen is essential for anyone who has lost weight, has had children or anyone wanting to combat aging, sagging skin. The solution also contains enzymes that break down both hard and soft tissue. Hard tissue is cellulite and stretch marks, while soft tissue is generally found around the lower abdomen and inner thighs.

You will stay wrapped for 30 minutes while the bandages and solution work to firm skin and reduce impurities in the body. During this time you have a few options. The spa has a luxury infrared sauna that induces relaxation and promotes sweating to help remove the effects of toxins. In addition, it burns up to 600 calories in 30 minutes, 20% of that sweat being toxins. You can also opt to keep moving while using the elliptical or vibration plate machines. The vibration plate machine, also known as the “jiggler”, burns up to 300 calories per 10 minutes!

As the wraps are removed, feel your improved skin tone. After the wraps are removed you will be measured to determine exactly how many inches were lost. At this point, indulge your weight loss and inch reduction. The typical loss we see at Deseret is between 6 and 20 inches!

The Detox 

Once your wrap is complete, you will most likely detox for the next 3 to 5 days. During this process expect to use the restroom frequently and wake up to sweaty pillows and bed sheets. Most clients feel a calm energy, very relaxed. Some clients reported having a great night sleep, while others said they feel a strong burst of energy for days. It’s important to avoid salt and alcohol during this time because it can slow down the detox process. Also, it’s wise to stay active during this time to keep the minerals moving throughout your circulatory system.

Is it permanent?

This is easily the most frequently asked question. The answer is simple, you should not gain the inches back as long as you do not over indulge in sugar, salt or alcohol, gain weight or change medications. Remember, body wraps alone won’t keep you slim. When used in conjunction with exercise and a good diet, wraps will keep you looking and feeling your best.
