Our surgeons recommend aesthetic treatments following facial surgery. A post-op lymphatic drainage massage (Vodder method) can encourage the reduction of swelling for faster healing. A facial provides a relaxing and luxurious experience that not only enhances the look of your skin by correcting skin problems but accelerates the post-surgical healing process, improving circulation and soothing nerves.

Whether you want to brighten, lighten, deep cleanse pores, calm Rosacea, or experience age-defying facial treatments that will truly change your skin, a consultation with Twila will get you started.
