Hollywood Is Booking These Two Treatments. You Can Get Them in Larkspur.
The Hollywood Reporter's July issue, "The New Face of Hollywood," ran through what people in Los Angeles are actually doing to their skin and bodies right now. Two of the treatments they named are ones we perform here every week: CO2 CoolPeel and Onda.
CoolPeel
CO2 resurfacing has always worked. The problem was recovery. Older systems delivered so much heat that you paid for the result with a week or more of real downtime.
CoolPeel delivers the same fractional CO2 energy in pulses short enough that the heat doesn't linger in the surrounding tissue. You get the collagen response without the recovery that used to come with it. Sun damage, fine lines, texture, tone. Most people are pink for a couple of days and back to themselves by the weekend.
Ana usually recommends a series rather than a single session. Not because more is better, but because skin rebuilds gradually and you'll see the difference more clearly across three treatments than one.
Onda
Onda uses microwave energy to target fat in specific places — the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, under the chin. It also tightens the skin above it, which is the part most non-surgical fat treatments miss.
It isn't weight loss, and we won't pretend otherwise. It's for the areas that don't move no matter how disciplined you are. No numbing, no incisions, no recovery. Results build over the weeks after your session as your body clears the treated tissue.
Why both
Skin and shape are separate problems. CoolPeel works on the surface. Onda works underneath it. Most of what we do at Mineral is figuring out which one you actually need, and being honest when the answer is neither.
That's the 80 percent we always come back to. What you eat, how you sleep, whether you wear sunscreen — that's the bulk of how you age. These treatments are the other 20. They work best when they're not being asked to do everything.

Come talk to us. A consultation is a conversation about what you want to change, not a pitch for a package. If a different treatment suits you better, we'll say so.
