Certified medical esthetician Linda Georgedes has been in the skin business for 32 years. For proof of her talent, you don't have to look at her resume — just at her dewy, glowing skin. You might call Georgedes a professor of skin care: she's devoured stacks of medical books and literally written a book on brow shaping. With her signature Beauty RX treatment, she's assembled years of research into one ultimate face-rejuvenating package. Book an appointment for Beauty RX with Linda or her expert staff, Elizabeth and Josh, clocking in at one hour and 15 minutes; it's the perfect introduction to this spa, fresh off its 2011 SF BayList victory. The package starts with skin analysis, extractions, and brow cleanup then glides on to three types of exfoliation: diamond tip microdermabrasion, dermaplaning, and a finishing touch of an enzyme peel, glycolic acid, or another option suited to your skin type. Once you've bid farewell to dead skin, greet a moisturizing method developed by Linda: using ultrasound, she massages a proprietary serum deep into the skin, followed by a warm occlusion mask to seal in moisturizer. Live oxygen and ice rollers tone down inflammation, and a custom powder application ensures you walk out with calm, radiant skin. You can also choose from two deluxe addons: a glycolic hand peel with brow shaping and lash tinting or a neck, chest, and decolletage peel and home-care kit. I think that's what we call "the works" or as Linda says: "It's not tricks or gimmicks. It's physician-strength skin care."
