🚨 NEW ADVANCED SKIN TREATMENT COMING TO ESTHETICS BY RIKI! 🚨

I'm so excited to introduce Thesera G Spicule Regeneration Therapy! ✨

Thesera G is an advanced, non-invasive collagen induction therapy that is being compared to microneedling—but with a completely different approach.
So, what exactly are spicules?
Spicules are microscopic, needle-like structures naturally found in marine sponges. Think of them as tiny, natural micro-needles. During the treatment, they are gently worked into the skin, creating mechanical stimulation and supporting the skin's natural renewal process.
Unlike traditional microneedling, there is no device and no conventional needles. The microscopic spicules remain active in the skin for up to approximately 72 hours, continuing to stimulate the skin and support cellular turnover.
✨ Thesera G is designed to target:
•Acne & congestion
• Uneven texture
• Hyperpigmentation
• Fine lines & wrinkles
• Enlarged pores
• Acne scarring
• Dull, tired-looking skin
• Loss of firmness and dermal density

Think of it as advanced skin stimulation and renewal—without a laser or traditional microneedling device.
This exciting treatment offers a completely different approach to skin rejuvenation, and I cannot wait to bring it to my clients! 🤍

Hi everyone,
Summer may be winding down, but your skin is showing the receipts. ☀️
After months of New Mexico sun, heat, dry air, and travel, you may be noticing more pigmentation, dullness, rough texture, dehydration, or sensitivity.
Fall is the perfect time to shift from summer maintenance to correction.
But correction doesn't mean being aggressive. The best results come from preparing the skin, choosing the right treatment, and supporting it with the right homecare.
This is the season for getting serious about:
✨ Pigmentation & uneven tone
✨ Texture & dullness
✨ Dehydration & barrier support
✨ Restoring that healthy, radiant glow
And remember—your professional treatment is only part of the equation. What you do at home between appointments is what keeps the results going.
So instead of asking, “What treatment should I get?”
Let's ask:
“What does MY skin need right now?”
If your skin is showing signs of summer, it's time to make a plan.
Fall appointments are open. Let's get your skin back on track.

SKINCARE 101 — PART 1

Skin care Is a Journey, Not a Quick Fix

We live in a world of instant results. But when it comes to your skin, lasting change takes consistency, patience, and the right plan.
One facial can leave your skin looking brighter, smoother, and more hydrated—but it cannot undo years of sun exposure, dehydration, inflammation, pigmentation, or collagen loss overnight.
Think of professional skincare like working with a personal trainer. One workout feels good, but the transformation comes from showing up consistently and having a plan designed for your individual goals.
There’s also a difference between getting a treatment and following a personalized skincare plan.
A treatment addresses your skin today. A personalized plan looks at where your skin is now, where you want it to be, and what needs to happen consistently to get you there.
That may include professional treatments, the right homecare, seasonal adjustments, and ongoing education about what your skin actually needs—especially here in New Mexico’s dry, high-desert climate.
Your skin is constantly changing. Your skincare should, too.
The goal isn’t to chase the newest trend or book a facial whenever your skin starts acting up. It’s to create a partnership and a realistic strategy that helps your skin become healthier, stronger, and more resilient over time.

✨ Healthy skin isn’t a quick fix. It’s a journey—and the best results come from having a plan and sticking with it.

✨ A NEW CHAPTER FOR ESTHETICS BY RIKI ✨

After 16 years of helping clients achieve healthier, more radiant skin, I’ve learned that the greatest transformations don’t come from a single appointment.

They come from a plan.

They come from consistency.

They come from understanding your skin and having the right professional guidance every step of the way.

That’s why I’m shifting the way I offer skincare at Esthetics by Riki.

🌿 THE SKIN TRANSFORMATION PROGRAM 🌿

A 4-Month Customized Journey to Healthier, More Radiant Skin
Investment: $600

Moving forward, my
recommended approach for every client will be this complete 4-month transformation journey.

Your program includes:
✨ Customized professional treatments based on your skin’s needs
✨ A personalized homecare routine to support your results every day. THIS INCLUDES A FULL SET OF PROFESSIONAL GRADE SKINCARE PRODUCTS!
✨ Education so you understand your skin and how to care for it
✨ Ongoing guidance and adjustments throughout your journey

Your skin is constantly changing and it deserves more than a one-time appointment or a guess-and-check approach.

The Skin Transformation Program is designed to give you the consistency, support, and tools needed to achieve real, lasting improvement.

Individual treatments will still be available; however, they will be at a higher investment because true skin success comes from a complete plan — not just an occasional visit.

This is about creating a partnership between us: the professional treatments we do together and the daily care you provide at home.

Your treatment starts here…
but your transformation happens every day at home. ✨

Thank you for trusting me to be part of your skin journey. 💛

Timing Is Everything!!!

Especially When It Comes to Skin.
One of the reasons I invested in DiamondGlow years ago—and why I chose my new advanced microneedling infusion system—is because they both take advantage of the skin's most receptive moment.
💎 DiamondGlow
As the diamond tip exfoliates away dull, damaged skin, professional SkinMedica Pro-Infusion serums are delivered at the exact same time. There is no waiting. Freshly revealed skin immediately receives nourishing ingredients.
✨ Advanced Microneedling with Simultaneous Serum Infusion
Traditionally, microneedling is performed first, and stem cell serums are applied afterward. While that is still beneficial, your skin immediately begins its natural repair process.
With my new infusion technology, the stem cell serum is delivered while the microchannels are being created, allowing those powerful ingredients to be introduced during the treatment itself—when your skin is at its most receptive.
It's a smarter approach to treatment.
✔️ Enhanced serum delivery
✔️ No delay between treatment and infusion
✔️ Maximizes every pass of the device
✔️ More efficient use of advanced growth factor and stem cell technology
Different technologies. One philosophy:
Deliver the right ingredients at exactly the right moment.
That's why I invest in science-backed technology that helps you achieve healthier, stronger, more radiant skin.

✨ Good skin doesn't happen overnight—it happens through time, consistency, and the right routine.
We live in a world that promises instant results, but healthy, radiant skin is built one treatment, one skincare routine, and one good habit at a time.
Think of professional skincare like going to the gym. One workout won't transform your body, but showing up consistently will. Your skin works the same way.
🌿 Trust the process.
💧 Stay consistent with your home care.
✨ Invest in treatments that support long-term skin health—not just quick fixes.
Beautiful skin isn't about perfection. It's about progress.

Why Everyone is Talking About Spicules in Korean Skincare 🧬

Korean skincare continues to lead the beauty industry with innovative technologies, and one of the newest ingredients creating excitement is spicules.

Despite their name, spicules aren't harsh or damaging to the skin. They're microscopic silica structures that have traditionally been derived from marine sponges. Modern skincare uses purified spicules as a unique delivery system to help active ingredients pe*****te more effectively.

How Do They Work?
When applied to the skin, spicules create thousands of microscopic pathways within the outermost layer of the epidermis. This temporary stimulation helps improve the absorption of beneficial ingredients such as peptides, growth factors, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and antioxidants.

Many people describe the sensation as a light prickling or tingling that may last for several hours after application. This is a normal part of how the technology works.

Benefits of Spicules
• Improved absorption of skincare ingredients
• Smoother skin texture
• Increased skin renewal
• Enhanced radiance
• Support for collagen production
• Healthier-looking skin over time

Are They the Same as Microneedling?

No.

Professional treatments like microneedling and microchanneling create controlled channels that extend deeper into the skin and stimulate a more significant wound-healing response for collagen remodeling.
Spicule skincare works only within the superficial layers of the skin. Think of it as a way to boost your home skincare routine—not replace professional collagen induction treatments.

Who Should Use Them?
Spicule products can be an excellent choice for healthy skin that is looking for improved texture, brightness, and better product performance.

However, they may not be appropriate if you have:
* A compromised skin barrier
* Active eczema
* Rosacea flare-ups
* Inflamed acne
* Extremely sensitive skin

A professional consultation can help determine whether they're appropriate for your skin.

My Philosophy-
I don't bring products into my treatment room simply because they're trending. I choose skincare based on science, effectiveness, and whether it delivers real results for my clients.
Spicules are an exciting advancement in Korean skincare because they combine innovative technology with ingredient delivery to help maximize the benefits of your skincare routine.

If you're curious whether spicule skincare would benefit your skin, I'd love to help you decide if it's the right fit for your goals.
