NIR + DPL Dual Power Facial
The NIR + DPL Dual Power Facial combines near-infrared and dynamic pulsed light technologies to visibly rejuvenate your skin and reveal a luminous, refreshed glow. Enjoy powerful results and a radiant complexion with zero downtime.
How It Works
The process begins with a personalized skin assessment to pinpoint areas of concern, such as uneven texture, pigmentation, acne, or signs of aging. After cleansing and prepping, one of our skin experts administers a combination of DPL (a narrow-band, high-density light targeting pigmentation and superficial imperfections) and NIR (deep-penetrating near-infrared energy to reach the dermal layers), precisely calibrated to your skin’s needs. DPL fades sunspots, freckles, and brightens the complexion, while NIR stimulates collagen and elastin production, boosts cellular energy (ATP), enhances circulation, and supports antioxidant defenses.
What It Targets
A NIR + DPL Power Facial is effective for a range of skin concerns, including:
- Uneven skin tone, pigmentation, and sunspots
- Fine lines and loss of firmness
- Acne and post-inflammatory marks
- Enlarged pores and rough texture
- Dull or fatigued skin
- Mild redness or inflammation
This treatment is gentle and safe for most skin types, with customizable protocols supporting a broad spectrum of skin needs.
Benefits
Key advantages of a NIR + DPL Power Facial include:
- Simultaneous brightening and deep cellular repair for a noticeably radiant complexion
- Increased collagen and elastin production for firmer, plumper, and more resilient skin
- Reduction of pigmented spots, blemishes, and acne marks
- Smoother and more even skin texture, with refined pores
- Enhanced skin clarity, circulation, and detoxification
- Minimal to no downtime—most people experience only mild redness or warmth after treatment
- Long-lasting improvements in tone, texture, and firmness with consistent use
This powerhouse facial balances surface-level rejuvenation (DPL) with deep structural renewal (NIR), offering a holistic approach to skin health and beauty.

Past Client Experiences
"I have noticed a significant difference in the overall appearance of my skin and my friends and family have as well. I am excited to come in for follow-up sessions!"
"I came in 2 weeks ago for their Green Peel, which is a natural facial peel formulated with algae. It was my first time doing a skin peel so I was a bit anxious, but my tech Priscilla did a great job of informing me about the treatment throughout the process and about the aftercare."
"Overall - phenomenal experience. Staff from the estheticians to the front desk were so knowledgeable and kind."
"I got the Personalized Facial with a complimentary skin consultation with Xia. And it was so beyond amazing. This was by far one of the most intensive facials that I have ever gotten and I loved how much attention to detail Xia had throughout our entire session."

"Outstanding service and spa."
"The Glass Facial was amazing. They specialize in Korean Beauty and only use products gentle for your skin unlike many Western treatments. My skin looks great even days later. I still have a glow and glass look with just simple skin care and moisturizing like I normally do. I definitely recommend this salon and suggest you try the K-Beauty services!"

"This is definitely a place I trust and will keep coming back to for my future skincare treatments. Plus, reasonable price! Highly recommended!"
"It has been a month since I got Rejuran, and at least six people have complimented my skin since then! Izzy is amazing, her technique is professional and surprisingly painless, but what impressed me the most is her sense of aesthetics. She really listened to what I wanted, communicated actively with me, and confirmed everything carefully until I felt completely comfortable."

I booked the aromatherapy, dermaplaning, glass skin facial, and LED light treatment, and she walked me through every step so I felt comfortable the whole time. She made sure I was comfortable and explained what each product was doing. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends!"
