CIRCADIA SWiCH REJUVINATING FACIAL TREATMENT
75 MINUTES $197

The SWiCH treatment is a multi-step process that enhances the penetration of active ingredients into the skin, activates the skin's repair mechanisms, and provides energy for complete repair.
As Circadia’s signature treatment, SWiCH offers a unique alternative to chemical peels, leveraging the skin’s natural repair system without causing damage. This treatment delivers an instant improvement in the appearance and texture of aging skin.

The Philosophy behind SWiCH™

For over 40 years, chemical peeling has been used by physicians to rejuvenate sun-damaged skin. Various intrinsic and extrinsic aging factors have led to different skin peeling techniques, including chemical, mechanical, and thermal methods. The commonality among these approaches is the skin's ability to heal itself after damage. While these methods induce some tissue destruction, triggering the natural repair process, repeated damage to the epidermis can result in more severe side effects. The SWiCH™ System allows for skin repair through a more restorative approach.

Benefits

Down Time and Limitations:

  • Little to no downtime. Redness can occur for 1-3 days. Typically, there is none. In some instances, minor peeling or flaking may be present but is not expected. However, a commitment to not using retinol and glycolic acid is required for the length of your SWiCH treatment plan. 

  • Avoid water, saunas and sun exposure for 12 hrs. 

  • You can wear makeup in 24hrs. We prefer using a bb cream if you must wear makeup. For optimal results, it is recommended to avoid makeup for a duration of three days, if possible.

Is it for:

  • Clients 37 and older dealing with loss of firmness, sagging skin, fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation, or clients over 37 who want to keep their skin youthful.

Why 37?

  • Because aging sucks!!!) Chronologically, this is when our skin cells start to work much harder to complete the same functions that they could do effortlessly in their youth. Our skin needs a boost in energy to get back to functioning optimally! (Think about it like your cup of coffee or tea in the morning. Without it, you are groggy, tired, and it just takes more energy to complete your daily tasks. The SWiCH is like morning coffee, for your skin!)

How many treatments will I need?

  • Circadia recommends doing a series of 6 treatments for optimal results. 

Maintenance

  • Monthly Corrective or Everything Facials are recommended after your Initial 6 Month SWiCH Program. SWiCH Treatments can then be repeated in place of your facial every 3 months. SWiCH treatments are great during the summer months as long as you practice sun safety.

When will I see results?

  • The treatment you can see results, most cases people see more dramatic changes occurring in  2-3 treatments. 
    Recommended Treatment Plan: The SWiCH is best when in a 6 Treatment Series. SWiCH treatments will be performed monthly, with Express Dermaplaning facial in between (two weeks in between each treatment, a total of 6). Treatment Steps are explained below.

SWICH Treatment: 1 hour

EPIPREP Solution: A relaxing process that starts energy production by removing dead skin and opening the channels of your skin to absorb acid into the deeper layers of skin loosening dead skin cells and creating microscopic holes into the top layers. There is no pain associated with this step.

SWICH™ Solution: Combining Pyruvic and Succinic acid increases the energy level of cells and promotes the formation of new collagen and new cells. There is one minute of tingling that is often associated with chemical peels. This will immediately dissipate and there will be no discomfort, only a tight feeling similar to a chemical peel.

Fraction V: A solution that promotes mitochondrial activity, healing and softer skin. Apply Fraction V all over face and neck 30 minutes after the treatment.

2-Week Follow Up Express Dermaplaning Facial: 30 minutes

Facial includes: Cleansing , Dermaplaning, Enzyme Exfoliation and LED Light Therapy.

Why do I need a 2-Week Follow Up Facial?

  • With the SWiCH, you will see no peeling, light flaking may be present that will immediately disappear when you complete your skincare routine. With the boost of cellular regeneration, we need to perform a professional exfoliation to give you the best results. Dermaplaning is an amazing mechanical exfoliation that will not only leave your skin smooth but will increase the skin’s epidermal growth factors and improve texture. The Enzyme will target pigmentation and release any dead skin cells and debris revealing fresh new skin. LED will continue your cells energy production cycle and maintain optimal function.
