DISCOVER THE BEST PERSONALIZED SKIN CARE in Vermont

03/01/2024 05:45PM ● By MERYL SIEGMAN

In last year’s Spring issue, we spotlighted Cheeks Luxury Skin Clinic , which stands out for the highly personalized skin care services it offers. Owners Gena Boyden and Anna Gilcris explained in depth how their bespoke Elite Concierge Service makes them truly unique by tailoring products and services specifically to each client. At the time, Gena said, “We found a niche in the beauty industry as concierge estheticians. In addition to the boutique experience we provide, our facial treatments are as curated and customized as possible for every individual.”

Opened during the pandemic and now celebrating its fifth year, Cheeks continues to thrive as Gena and Anna pursue their goal of helping clients achieve healthy, beautiful skin at any age. Its Advanced Face Treatment is a customized facial based on the client’s skin type and what they hope to achieve. It utilizes the many different resources the clinic has to offer.

THE LATEST IN ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
Among the clinic’s resources are microcurrents, LED light therapy, oxygen infusion therapy, cryotherapy, and ultrasound. After performing an in-depth skin analysis on the client’s first visit, the estheticians choose from this menu based on each customer’s unique skin condition.

In the past year, the clinic has continued to grow. With the hiring of a new esthetician, it now offers eye treatments—lash lifts and tints, and brow shaping and tinting—that help make eyes look more youthful. Cheeks also purchased two new game-changing machines that make it a must-visit practice for the best non-surgical skin care around.

 EMFACE, EXCLUSIVELY AT CHEEKS

Emface, a revolutionary needle-free, non-invasive, non-surgical facelift, utilizes innovative technology to tighten, lift, and tone muscles and skin simultaneously, providing fast and effective results. It is FDA-approved, and there is no downtime needed after treatment. It is particularly attractive to people who have an aversion to needles or are turned off by the high cost of surgery.

Emface uses two forms of energy: cutting- edge radiofrequency, which warms tissues and helps stimulate collagen and elastin production, the building blocks of younger- looking skin, and electromagnetic energy, which targets the facial muscles, restoring and elevating facial tissues by selectively contracting muscles. As Anna explains, “It stimulates the elevator muscles in the face— the ones that make us smile. It’s pain- and needle-free. Together, these two technologies address all the major causes of the facial aging process.”

Emface is administered in four 20-minute treatments, seven to 14 days apart, although Cheeks throws in an additional session for free in order to help clients get the most out of their treatment. Optimal results are seen within 10 to 12 weeks and last for a year, and after that, require only annual maintenance.

EXION TREATMENT COMPLEMENTS EMFACE
This ground-breaking treatment is a hyaluronic acid stimulator that doesn’t use needles. “Although we are a luxury skin clinic with a focus on healthy skin, we also offer the services of a med spa,” Gena says. EXION Radio Frequency Microneedling, another treatment, uses synchronized radiofrequency and guided ultrasound to generate thermal stress, which increases blood circulation and stimulates fibroblasts within the deep layers of the dermis. It’s ideal for clients who suffer from sun damage, stretch marks, or acne scars. Gena advocates its use as a complement to the Emface treatment. “Together,” she says, “they create amazing results, including increasing volume, hydration, and elasticity of the skin.” When researching the best new technology to invest in, Gena and Anna spoke with a number of plastic surgeons around the country. They quoted one doctor in particular as saying, “[These treatments] really work. I hope I never have to cut into another face.”

Gena and Anna invite you to try out their latest additions with an introductory offer that is packed with added value. Gena concludes, “While there are still surgical options for dealing with aging skin, we believe that this new technology reflects a current trend in skin care. This is where the skin industry is going.”
