Where do I fit in?



To have a better understanding of what treatment fits where, here's a post on the position of treatments in the facial room, and how to choose the treatment best suited for you.

Facials are formulated to refresh, revive, and replenish. Scosh Express Facials are uniquely designed for maximum results in minimum time. These results-oriented treatments target all skin types to reveal more youthful, healthy skin. These high-end 30-minute, customized facials are perfect for the person on the go!


Dermal Planing gently exfoliates the outer layers of dead skin cells, and removes fine facial hair commonly known as "peach fuzz" from the face, upper lip, and chin using a surgical blade. This is a 2-in-1 treatment! Your skin will immediately be smooth, supple and renewed - with no downtime.

Recommended for most skin types, with the exception of acne prone skin. This procedure may be accelerated by following it with a hydrating comfort mask or a brightening, hydrating enzyme peel.

Dermal Planing is a progressive procedure, usually done in a series of 3 treatments every 30 days. Appointments take approximately 45 minutes for the 1st appointment, half hour thereafter.



Microdermabrasion is a powerful, yet gentle anti-aging treatment. I always say you get more bang for your buck with Microderm. It is natural way to evenly exfoliate the skin with a fine, controlled spray of crystals removing the outer layers of the skin, and accelerating cell turnover which slows down as we age. It also stimulates the dermal fibroblasts, which in turn stimulate collagen growth to improve skin’s natural vitality and firmness. Microdermabrasion transforms the appearance of the skin leaving it fresh, radiant, and silky smooth - with no downtime.

Recommended for all skin types, with the exception of Rosacea prone skin. This procedure may also be accelerated by following it with a hydrating comfort mask or a brightening, hydrating enzyme peel.

Microdermabrasion is a progressive procedure, usually done in a series of 3 to 6 treatments every 10 to 14 days. Appointments take approximately 45 minutes for the 1st appointment, half hour thereafter.


Chemical Peels include a variety of safe, effective ingredients to smooth, stimulate, firm, and tighten the skin. The types of peels we are addressing are gentle, light to medium range peels. The combination of peel ingredients speed up the natural exfoliating process and enable new, healthier cells to come to the surface. By removing dull and damaged surface layers, the result is an improved and more youthful appearance. You may or may not experience actual peeling; each individual is different. A good result may still be achieved, even without the presence of visible exfoliation as changes are made at the cellular level. These treatments give a glowing appearance with a smoother texture and more even skin tone.

Scosh uses PCA peels which have been designed for a wide variety of skin types; sun damaged, anti-aging, hyperpigmentation, acne/problematic.

The Scosh Chemical peel includes a series of 3 peels - one every 2 weeks.
1st week - Microdermabrasion peel to prep the skin
3rd week - Chemical Peel
5th week - fruit enzyme peel to polish the skin
To optimize the results I include a take-home skincare kit to keep you on track. For those who don't want to 'peel' at work I'm doing extended hours on Wednesdays and Thursdays to allow for any flaking over the weekend.
I hope this helps! Call or email me, kathy@scoshksincare.com to schedule your treatment, 480.970.5454
