PROFESSIONAL THERAPEUTIC SKIN CARE 
 by Isabel Viveros Ciampi (biography available below)
 
 
WELLNESS FACIAL: (40 minutes) The perfect facial if you’ve never had the chance of experiencing a facial before…the ideal way to start! This introductory facial will leave your skin cleansed, smooth and hydrated. You will leave very relaxed and glowing! (Extractions of impurities not included.) $60.
 
 
ISABEL’S SIGNATURE FACIAL: (90 minutes) This customized treatment begins with deep steam cleansing and exfoliation to remove dead skin cells and improve skin tone and texture. Extractions are performed to remove impurities, followed by custom facial massage techniques consistent with your skin type to stimulate blood circulation, detoxify or calm and diffuse redness. While your chosen mask is rebalancing your skin, be pampered by a relaxing neck, shoulder, arm and hand massage that is certain to ease your mind and spirit. A finishing application of the appropriate moisturizer follows. $125.
 
 
FACIAL JUST FOR HIM: (90 Minutes) This treatment, customized for a gentleman’s specific needs, is designed for results-oriented men seeking professional skin care that works. We combined full relaxation with deep cleansing, followed by an exfoliating enzyme mask and extractions if necessary. As the mask is soothing irritated  skin from daily shaving and exposure to environmental pollution, experience a relaxing and therapeutic neck, shoulder, head, arm and hand massage that is sure will remove all your aches and pains. Finally, an eye contour or lip treatment and a lotion is applied to your skin, leaving you glowing and ready to face the world again. $140.
 
 
DELUXE INTENSIVE FACIAL TREATMENT: (110 minutes) This ultimate facial is specifically prescribed to pamper, and to suit any concern or skin condition you may have. This advanced treatment takes facials beyond cleansing, toning and moisturizing: It is focused on improving skin conditions such as acne, rosacea, mature/aging skin, and dehydrated or overly sensitive and irritated skin. The treatment includes a thorough analysis and face mappingsm of your skin to determine why your skin got to where it is. Key ingredients at our disposal in the correction phase are serums, ampoules, specialty masks, hydration with Dr. Lucas spray, specialty eye treatments and an MLD massage to detoxify and calm your skin. As the mask is taking effect, experience a relaxing upper body massage (neck, shoulder, arms and hands) aimed at releasing and easing all the tension that causes the facial muscles to tighten and look tired or fatigued. At last, the right moisturizer, and an eye and lip treatment is applied. After this facial you’ll look 10 years younger! $175.

Biography
 
Since the mid-1990s, Isabel Viveros Ciampi has built up an impressive educational resume, having completed training in institutes both in Argentina and the US, while also attending dozens of specialized study programs throughout the Americas.

 

In Argentina, her University degree in skin care included classroom training from dermatologists, kinesiologists, cosmetic chemists and microbiologists as well as internships in the dermatology units of local Buenos Aires hospitals. Upon relocation to the US in 2003, she became a New York-state licensed esthetician following her training at the Atelier Esthétique Institute of Esthetics in Manhattan.

 

In the massage therapy field, she received extensive training in manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) massage from the Vodder Institute of Argentina (supervised by the Virginia Cool School of France), and studied other modalities of massage as well.

 

In addition, through her studies at the Institute of Therapeutic Massage in New Jersey, Isabel is a Certified Massage Therapist in New Jersey and is a Licensed Massage Therapist in the state of New York. She has Reiki II certification, has studied reflexology, medical and pregnancy massage, and has also been a makeup artist for the last 13 years. At present, she is studying to become a certified personal trainer.

 

Despite having all these studies behind her, Isabel still strives to stay current and is a frequent attendee of conferences covering the latest techniques in the field of esthetics.

 

As a skin care professional, Isabel aims to make an impact on her clients’ lives by personalizing and adding new dimensions to treatments that many others consider routine: in other words, she has a passion for treating people and not just for faces.

 

For example, with facials, Isabel begins with an initial no-cost skin-care consultation and evaluation, during which time it may become evident that a particular makeup ingredient, habit or health issue is behind a skin reaction or disorder. This is especially true in one of Isabel’s specialty areas, the treatment of acne. Facials are always followed up with a deep, soothing, unrushed massage that includes the face, neck, décolleté, arms and hands.

 

Isabel’s faithful clientele have responded favorably to her willingness to listen, her eagerness to share her knowledge, and her interest in working with clients to improve their skin conditions. She has an extensive library of medical journals, and queries from clients one week are usually responded to with copies of articles the next.

 
We welcome all of our clients to inquire about a complimentary skin care consultation with Isabel during one of your future visits to our Wellness Center.
 
 
What clients have been saying:
 
“During the time Isabel has been my primary skin care provider and since starting a treatment program with her, not only has the condition of my skin dramatically improved, but Isabel has also taken great care to teach me proper skin care techniques.”
--Victoria Yanakos, 2006
 
“Isabel is amazing! I felt extremely relaxed and the skin on my face has changed dramatically. I have been getting my facials with Isabel for a year now and wouldn't trust my face with anyone else.”
-- Citysearch review, 2006
 
“Isabel’s facial was probably the best I have ever had. She had magic hands and gave me advice on how to treat my skin that no one has ever done. She knows her stuff!”
-- Citysearch review, 2004
