Nothing better than a fresh wax🌷 

Yesterday we had the opportunity to complete a body wax! 

Hard or soft wax can be used when demonstrating an underarm wax. To achieve the baby soft feeling, I used a gentle soft wax which worked wonders for a quick hair removal fix! 

P.S. We have weekly specials here at Nova! Every Wednesday at Nova Academy is Waxy Wednesday! Pop in to get 50% off any wax service✨
Another day of doing some of my favorite services as an Esthetician student! 

✨What is an Ultra Sonic skin scrubber?✨

Ultrasonic is a skincare device that uses high-frequency ultrasonic vibrations to cleanse and exfoliate the skin. The ultrasonic vibrations create pressure waves that help to dislodge dirt, oil, makeup, and other impurities from the skins surface. This device also has an infusion mode to assist in penetration of skincare products. 

✨ What is Microneedling? ✨

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a cosmetic procedure used to improve the appearance of the skin. Microneedling uses a device that creates tiny punctures in the skin to create a controlled wound response which stimulates the bodies natural wound healing process. Microneedling if great for fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores, stretch marks, scarring, hair loss, uneven skin tone, you name it!! 
Do you see why this is one of my favorite services?
