Fortessimo Moisturizer

Le Visage recommends that all our Orange County customers use a daily moisturizer that contains only the highest quality ingredients. As we’ve mentioned before, the Dr. Irena Eris line is one we highly recommend. If you’re over the age of 45, consider the Fortessimo Lifting and Moisturizing Day Cream from Eris. This is an advanced moisturizing cream, based on Nutrilagen™ complex, which is rich in Vitamin C, Polysaccharides and essential oils.

Lifting-Moisturizing Day Cream activates and stimulates the skin’s defense and repair mechanisms, which weaken with age. It helps to restore the skin’s natural moisture balance, even in the deeper layers of the skin. It visibly minimizes wrinkles, delays the aging process and smooths and firms the skin. The moisturizer contains UV filters and is ideal under makeup.

Ingredients: Aqua, Paraffinum Liquidum, Isopropyl Myristate, Peach (Prunus persica) Kernel Oil, Glycerin, Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate, Glyceryl Stearate, Dimethicone, Cetyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Polymethacrylate, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Propylene Glycol, Aleuritic Acid, Allantoin, Glycoproteins, Yeast (Faex) Extract, BHA, Samphire (Crithmum Maritimum) Extract, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, DMDM Hydantoin, Propylparaben, Fragrance.

Here’s a video featured this morning on ABC’s Good Morning America that highlights the need to take care of your skin in the many ways we recommend and discuss at Le Visage in Dana Point.

1. Rehydrate your skin — a facial helps remove dead skin cells, which enables your skin to better absorb products for protection, hydration and nourishment.
2. Clean impurities — cleansing the skin of impurities, oily build-up and and debris allows your skin to maintain a healthy PH balance and enhance its ability to fight off disease and aging.


Relaxing Facial

3. Slows aging process — a regular facial will stimulate your facial muscles and strengthen the skin’s tone, making it more resistant to sagging and wrinkling.
4. Professional evaluation — studies demonstrate that over 60% of people define their skin types and home care incorrectly. An esthetician is trained to correctly analyze skin types and suggest appropriate cleansing and hydrating products and, when necessary, refer clients to a dermatologist.
5. Reduce stress — since a lot of tension resides in the face, a good facial massage relieves tension, not only for your face and neck, but for the body overall.
6. Regular analysis — by getting frequent facials, your esthetician can evaluate your skin’s condition which can change based on your health, stress or age. This allows the esthetician to recommend appropriate treatments.
7. Product recommendations — since your skin’s condition can change, a skin care professional can help recommend specific products for your skin type. More importantly, the esthetician can show you how to correctly apply the correct combinations of products.
8. Alternative to invasive procedures — instead of paying for much more expensive and invasive medical procedures, a high-end salon can offer treatments such as microcurrent facials which are being touted as non-surgical facelifts.
9. Nutrition advice — an experienced esthetician can also recommend specific foods that are most conducive to your skin’s health and beauty.
10. Get pampered — okay, we admit it’s not quite a beauty benefit but it’s certainly nice to sit down, relax and have your face professionally cleaned while receiving a stellar tension-releasing facial massage.

arnica montana

Le Visage uses Arnica Montana (from the European alps) extract for its facial treatments. Owner Krystyna Mozingo has refined a 85-year-old family formula from Poland. This is the purest most natural and powerful arnica found on the planet. It comes from the flower, not the stem or root. Don’t be fooled by cheaper gels, the By Krystyna Arnica formula is a LIQUID — which is absorbed directly into the skin. Gels are good for massage but don’t penetrate to the skins capillaries.

In addition to the oxygen facials, algae facials and pancreatic enzyme facials, arnica facials are ideal for severely sun-damaged skin, acne vulgaris and post plastic surgery treatments. The arnica extract is an anti-inflammatory and strengthens the capillaries.

By Krystyna Arnica Formula

If you’ve never experienced an arnica facial treatment, you’ll be amazed at how powerful and effective this natural extract is for your skin. There are many people that refer to arnica as the wonder herb. To read more about arnica, check the arnica entry at wikipedia. Arnica has been used at Le Visage since 1986 and customers rave about the specially prepared By Krystyna formula.

Krystyna has long been a proponent of having arnica in every home. It can be also be used for bruises, strains, sprains and sunburns. The By Krystyna formula works just as well for babies, teens, adults and the elderly.

Yes, it’s trendy to say you’re green nowadays but Le Visage of Orange County has been green since first opening our doors in 1986. We have always had a naturalistic approach to our treatments and the products we use. All the products we use for our treatments — and everything we sell at the spa — are of the highest natural quality and contain no preservatives or chemicals.

In this day and age when we have so many things to worry about — from the food we eat to the products we use on our bodies — it’s comforting to know Le Visage has always embraced a green and natural approach to skin care. Owner Krystyna Mozingo has over 35 years experience in the skin care industry. Krystyna has always been a proponent of holistic, natural skin care.

Microcurrent Facials

In addition to expert European facials, Le Visage also offers one of the hottest techniques in the anti-aging industry: Microcurrent technology treatments. There’s a good reason microcurrent machines are so popular. Using microcurrent impulses, they give almost instant, visible results to tighten, tone and firm aging skin. In fact, the results from microcurrent facial toning are so dramatic that they are often referred to as “non-surgical face lifts”.

University of Washington study shows Microcurrent benefits:

• 14% increase in the production of natural Collagen
• 28% increase in Lymphatic Drainage
• 48% increase in natural Elastin production
• And, 38% increase in Blood Circulation all over the course of 20 days

Call (949) 240-7773 to schedule an appointment at Le Visage and mention you read about Microcurrent technology on our Web site and we’ll offer you 20% off your first treatment. Find out why Orange County residents have been raving about Le Visage since 1986.

One of our customer’s favorite facial creams is Eris’ Young & Unique Perfecting Day Cream SPF 25. It’s an outstanding choice for increasing the skin’s smoothness and improving the overall complexion appearance.

The unique CaroSome Complex visibly improves the color of ashen, tired skin, making it look healthier and more radiant. Added Hydra-Pro moisturizing factor and Olive Wax help maintain optimum levels of skin moisture and make the skin appear perfectly smooth.

Precious Chilean Wild Rose Oil, rich in essential fatty acids, and Shea Butter accelerate the skin regeneration process and help restore the natural protective barrier of the epidermis. Natural UV filters protect the skin from the damaging effects of free radicals.
