LED LIGHT PHOTO REJUVENATION SYSTEM

Light Wave™ Photo Skin Rejuvenation System

Pulsated high-spectrum light treatments for dramatic results. Light Wave products are FDA 510-K listed. Light Wave is LED pulsed light containing visible red (660nm) and infrared (940nm).

These unique treatments utilize the amazing benefits of Light Therapy to restore the skin's natural cellular activity. The skin is repaired from within and the benefits are there for all to see! These treatments promote collagen production, increases oxygenation, and kills bacteria on contact. Treatments are for all skin types and conditions.

Reduce and Improve:

• Anti-aging • Hyper pigmentation • Acne • Enlarged pores • Rosacea/dilated capillaries • Firming of the skin • Sun damaged skin • Skin elasticity • Cellulite 

 The Light Wave photo rejuvenation treatment works synergistically with the Novitá Spa Facial Essentials,  Alpha and Beta Para Medical Peel, and the Miracle Skin Microdermabrasion Treatment.

Photo-therapy has been used world wide to assist in treating a number of medical conditions. It is the proper combination of energy output, type of light wavelength and absorption of energy in the cell that assists in skin rejuvenation and anti-aging.

Light waves penetrate the epidermis and positively charge the mitochondria in the skin cell.

The activities caused by phototherapy increase vascularity in the formation of new capillaries as well as help to replace damaged ones. Certain wavelengths of light also stimulate the production of collagen. The chemical compound ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is a major carrier of energy in cells and its release allows for a faster acceptance of nutrients in cells and the removal of toxins when stimulated by phototherapy. Increases in lymphatic function also occur with the application of phototherapy.

Originally developed by NASA to improve wound healing and tissue growth in space, the Photo Therapy light is perfect for skincare application!

This deep exfoliation will minimize the appearance of fine dry lines, hyper pigmentation, and acne while stimulating collagen and elastin production.

 Add this treatment to any of our facials.


Paramedical Peels

Novitá Spa Paramedical Peels

This gentle, light to medium range peel will immediately improve the color, tone and texture of your skin and minimize pore size. It will stimulate, firm and tighten your skin while dry fine lines as well as stimulate collagen and elastin production. The Alpha Beta Peel also has dramatic results for acne, hyper pigmentation and Rosacea. This is a rapid exfoliation your skin will love.

 Age Defying Eye Treatments

For best results, a series of six treatments are recommended.

Cleansing Facial

This is a half-hour mini-facial designed to give you a brief respite from your hectic day. Using professional skincare products, we will cleanse, tone and moisturize your skin.

Exfoliating Facial

This deep pore/ deep cleansing facial is a necessary step in improving tired congested skin. With the use of AHA technology, we gently soften dead skin cell build-up and stimulate your skin’s natural self-cleansing ability. This hour long facial improves your skin’s appearance, normalizes oil production and frees the skin from follicular debris (Blackheads and whiteheads).

 Essential Oil Massage Facial

This facial specifically activates the skin’s natural regenerative process. A deep penetrating massage helps to penetrate necessary fatty acids, vitamins, minerals and essential oils. Each Aroma science Essential Oil is specially blended to infuse the skin with hydration and vitality. A very relaxing hour your skin and senses will love!

Ultimate Balancing Facial

Experience the most comprehensive facial we offer! Utilizing AHA technology, Aroma science Essential Oils, and deep penetrating massage, this intensive treatment is customized to balance your skin’s natural functions. Pamper yourself in quiet comfort as we relax your skin and energize your spirit!

Active Skin Facial Treatment

The first facial to address the causes of acne, bacteria, oils and clogged pores. With an effective blend of active anti-acne ingredients and natural plant extracts, we will normalize oil and clear up blackheads and whiteheads. A special shiatsu massage technique will calm and relax skin without aggravating an acne condition.


 Another part of every facial treatment is the machine that I use.

There are seven functions and I will describe each one-

"© Bora Ucak | Dreamstime.com"First is the steamer, or vaporizer, which is considered the most important electric apparatus in the field of esthetics. The benefits of the lukewarm vapor mist on the skin are many. This is always the first step in all my treatments. The stream mist softens dead surface cells to enable them to be sloughed off during massage or the brushing procedure. The warm humid mist aids in the opening of the pores, resulting in a deeper cleansing. The vapor penetrates deep into the follicles to soften deposits of oils, blackheads makeup and dirt so that this debris can be removed with ease. The action of this vapor also eliminates toxins, improves cell metabolism and increases blood circulation.

The frimator, or peeling function. This includes brushes, specialized sponges or a plaster "brush" ( much like a stone) used on the skin’s surface to further remove dead skin cells and debris. This also aids in smoothing the skin’s surface.

Vacuum and spray. The suction is performed with a small glass tube attached to the vacuum, which is helpful in deep pore cleansing of the skin. I use this after massaging into the skin a specialized essential oil that penetrates and attracts oils, dead skin cells and other impurities deeply imbedded within the pores.

After which the spray (atomizer) of toner or freshener is used to flush out the pores, cooling and soothing your skin, restoring the skins natural acid mantle.

The Wood lamp is used to help analyze skin conditions. It is a specialized lamp that illuminates different substances within the skin’s different layers. I can best determine the proper treatment of various skin conditions utilizing this lamp.

My illuminating magnifying lamp is also used to visualize the surface of your skin, detecting tiny imperfections that need attention.

The Ionosmiter, which is Galvanic current, has two important functions during your facial. One is to soften grease and sebum deposits for easy removal. The second function is to introduce treatment products into the skin. There is a positive and a negative pole to this current and each produces a different affect on the skin. Such as closing the follicles, decreasing redness, preventing inflammation, to stimulate circulation, among others.

Telsa Current or my high frequency is thermal (heat producing) and germicidal. The electrodes are made of glass and I use this current to stimulate circulation, increase glandular activity, increase metabolism, to aid in elimination and absorption (the skins natural cleansing process), and the use of the current aids in deeper penetration of treatment products into the skin.

I feel very much that a facial without this wonderful machine would be lacking. As you can see, it accomplishes so much more than just a wash and masque applied! Your skin really deserves a "treat"ment!

*A machine-less skincare treatment can always be given, of course, if you prefer!

Non-Invasive Skincare is Hot Topic at Gina’s Designs

Beginning full skincare treatments in the full service salon in 1995, Gina’s Designs has always held the thought that skin should be treated gently, but in a way that would prove to be helpful, accomplishing the task of normalizing the skin and helping it to do what it does naturally, being the skin’s self-cleansing capabilities, “cueing” the skin to regenerate new skin cells or the task of either calming or stimulating the skin to help it to reach it’s “Natural Balance”. This is the goal that Gina’s Designs sets for each client.

Just as every person is different, so is skincare for each individual. Gina has chosen several skincare applications that have proven to do what needs to be done without “assaulting” the skin. One is the Microdermabrasion Treatment which is unlike the once popular machines that literally “sand blasted” the skin to achieve smoothing of the skin by “sloughing” off the dead skin cells, consequently putting  the skin into the action of new skin cell regeneration. She uses a Microdermabrasion Crème that accomplishes this goal without damage to the skin or a long period of normalizing (several days to several weeks). This treatment can be combined with the natural alpha and beta/Vitamin C chemical peels for optimum results. The peel she chose to use on her clients is pharmaceutical grade, yet buffered to avoid the “sting” and to avoid any irritating redness afterwards as in some glycolic acids. Gina also offers a newer technology in the “Enzyme Peel” that is non-irritating therefore appropriate for sensitive skin types such as those with Rocesea or acne.

The newest treatment added to the menu is “Phototherapy”. Phototherapy is the scientific application of light, to specific points of the body to activate or produce particular physiological results. The activities caused by phototherapy increase vascularity in the formation of new capillaries as well as help to replace damaged ones. Certain wavelengths of light also stimulate the production of collagen. The chemical compound ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is a major carrier of energy in cells and its release allows for a faster acceptance of nutrients in cells and the removal of toxins when stimulated by phototherapy. Increases in lymphatic function also occur with the application of phototherapy. As a result, existing skin cells function more like younger cells.

The LightWave™ Skin Rejuvenation System consists of an energy-emitting probe that emits a combination of infrared and red visible high intensity pulsed energy. This diode design is referred to as a "cluster" diode design and incorporates all the healing properties that both types of lights have to offer.  It allows therapeutic light waves to penetrate the epidermal layer of the skin enabling increased circulation, which assist in the elimination of toxins resulting in a more healthy and beautiful glow to the skin. Also reducing aging, hyper pigmentation, acne, enlarged pores, Rosacea, or dilated capillaries, and sun damaged skin and improving the skin’s elasticity and firmness.

The noninvasive approach offered is especially effective for treating signs of photo aging without the inflammatory response and other complications of laser resurfacing. The biggest advantage to photo-rejuvenation treatments, as opposed to laser resurfacing, is that there is no downtime after the procedure (which lasts 20 to 30 minutes).

Originally developed by NASA to improve wound healing and tissue growth in space, this science is perfect for skincare applications. Clients can add this service to any of the facial treatments available at Gina’s Designs.

The Light Wave photo rejuvenation treatment works synergistically with the Novitá Spa Alpha-Beta Para Medical Peel, and the Miracle Skin Microdermabrasion Treatments. Gina’s Designs offers all of these non-invasive skincare services to her clients. This particular three-step facial treatment has become very popular in the salon because of the non-invasive type of skin treatment and immediate results seen.

In keeping with the natural progression of Gina’s Designs’ philosophy of taking gentle care of clients, she is again offering the Spa Pedicure services along with the natural nail manicures. The relaxing, tension and stress relieving massage for feet, hand and face & décolleté has been very much requested by her salon’s current clients.

Nudesse Nufree Facial Hair Removal

This is a liquid organic product, warmed to body temperature. It adheres to the hair, not to your skin. Nudesse will epilate the entire hair bulb, therefore discouraging new growth over a period of time. We recommend the use of Finipil crème at home to also help discourage new hair growth, Finipil Professional Post Epilation Treatment Antibacterial and Antimicrobial. Use after all types of hair removal after cleansing or bathing on treated areas. Use after electrical hair removal to reduce heat, swelling or reddening of follicle area. Finipil produces instant cooling and keeps the hair follicle area clean. Cleanses sebaceous oil and is non-comedogenic. Helps to slow the growth of hair that has been epilated, giving you a longer period of time in between hair removal services than "waxing", which only removes the root area.
