THE POWER OF RED LIGHT THERAPY !!

One of my favorite uses for red light is for post-procedure usage🔥

The before photo is a picture of my skin 24 hours after mirconeeedling, while the second picture was taken after a 15 minute red light therapy session using @omniluxled 🫶🏽

Not only is RLT amazing for anti-aging and cell renewal. It is incredible for decreasing your post-procedure inflammation by 50%.

Incredible for after treatments like microneedling, lasers and even injectables.

I highly recommend if you plan on leveling up your skincare this summer to include a red light mask ♥️

NOW AVAILABLE AT @experiencecaps !

How to properly cleanse after a Korean Lash Lift and Tint or Brow Lamination ✨

1️⃣ Submerge the compressed sponge in water … watch it triple in size

2️⃣ Add your cleanser (I’m using the @colorescience Barrier Pro 1 Step Cleanser)

3️⃣ Whip it into a soft foam for a gentle, effective cleanse

4️⃣ Apply with a fan brush if your extra like me, (hands work too) carefully avoiding lashes + brows

5️⃣ Use the sponge to wipe away makeup and sunscreen in a few swipes

Clean skin, zero water on lashes or brows, and best results guaranteed 🤍
I send these sponges home with my clients to get you through the first 48 hours safely.

My favorite service @experiencecaps is our First Skin Evaluation!

If you’re brand new and not yet established with a skin specialist, this is the perfect place to start. 💆🏾‍♂️

It’s a complimentary dermaplane facial where I get to really look at your skin, curate a customized routine, and map out a treatment plan to get you on track to your skin goals. 🌟

Even better you’ll receive a 20% off your first treatment with me 🫶🏽

📍 I’m at our Gahanna location — you can book this through the link in my bio!

Share this with someone in the Columbus area who’s looking for a new esthetician. This is the best way to get them started on their skin journey!

✨Brow transformation magic ✨
I did a hybrid tint and wax on my gorgeous client today! She’s a natural strawberry brunette, so I custom-blended shades to complement her hair and give that soft, powdered “penciled-in” look, no makeup needed! 💁🏻‍♀️

Her new tint will last 3–4 weeks with proper care and keeps the brows healthy, full, and beautifully defined.

Because when your brows are perfectly tinted… you wake up already put together. 😍

☀️ Reapplying your tinted SPF isn’t just for sunny days—it’s a daily must, even indoors! 🖥️✨ Blue light from screens, overhead lighting, and windows can still trigger premature aging, hyperpigmentation, and break down your results.

Your SPF is what protects your investments—all the facials, microneedling, and skincare you’ve committed to. Think of it as insurance for your glow and 💸

Who else keeps their SPF in their bag for reapplication? 🙋🏽‍♂️ DON’T LIE FRIENDS!

This “filter” really is insane , and it’s one I never skip.

Everyone always asks me what filter I use… and the truth is, the only filter I’m wearing is my UV FILTER.

@colorescience packed with advanced UV filters that protect, perfect, and even out the skin in the most natural way.

What I love about this formula is that it doesn’t just sit on top of your skin like makeup ,it works with your skin, blends seamlessly, and gives that glass skin glow. Protecting your skin daily with a broad-spectrum mineral SPF is the secret to long-term healthy, radiant skin.

Think of it like the ultimate real-life filter: no blurring app required, just smart science and consistency in your routine.
