The Problem
Why Traditional Facials Fall Short for Real Skin Concerns
Surface-Level vs. Results-Driven
Many patients in Traverse City invest time and money in traditional facials only to see temporary results that fade within days. Surface-level treatments simply cannot address the deeper issues that drive common skin concerns like congestion, dullness, uneven texture, and early signs of aging. Without the ability to penetrate beyond the outermost skin layer, conventional facials leave impurities trapped in pores, active ingredients sitting on the surface, and collagen production unstimulated. Over time, this cycle of short-lived results can feel frustrating and discouraging.
SknLab changes that equation entirely. As the only facial technology that combines aqua-delivery with multiple energy modalities, SknLab works at every level of the skin simultaneously. Its six specialized handpieces cleanse deeply, infuse medical-grade serums through electroporation, stimulate collagen with ultrasound, and re-educate facial muscles with EMS technology. The result is not just a refreshed appearance for a day or two but measurable improvements in skin texture, tone, hydration, and firmness that build with each treatment session.
What Is SknLab?
Aqua-Delivery Meets Energy Modalities
SknLab is the most comprehensive derma-facial platform available today, exclusively distributed in the United States by Cartessa Aesthetics. Unlike single-technology facials, SknLab is the only system that combines aqua-delivery with multiple energy modalities in one intelligent treatment platform. The device features six unique handpieces, each engineered to address specific aspects of skin health, working synergistically to deliver results that no single modality can achieve alone.
The technology works through a multi-step process. The Aquis handpiece uses aqua-delivery to deeply cleanse and exfoliate, removing impurities and dead skin cells while simultaneously infusing the skin with NOON Aesthetics solutions featuring patented DermShield Technology. The Sonic handpiece delivers ultrasonic vibrations to enhance product absorption. Kelsius uses controlled cold and heat therapy to target inflammation and improve circulation. N-fuse combines electroporation and EMS to maximize topical delivery deep into the skin. Level uses EMS, LED light therapy, and electroporation to re-educate and tone facial muscles. A dedicated lymphatic massage handpiece improves circulation and promotes natural detoxification.
What truly sets SknLab apart is its treatment advisory mode, which curates a personalized Facial Program based on your skin type and primary concerns. Whether your skin is oily, dry, or combination, and whether you are focused on aging, calming, congestion, or brightening, the system guides your provider to the optimal protocol for your unique skin biology.

This allows SknLab to address more skin concerns simultaneously and deliver deeper, longer-lasting results.

No. SknLab is designed to be comfortable and relaxing. You may feel a mild tingling during the EMS and electroporation steps, but most patients describe the experience as pleasant. The Kelsius handpiece uses soothing cold therapy that many find particularly enjoyable.

Yes. SknLab pairs well with many treatments offered at Eternal Wellness Medical Spa, including Morpheus8 RF Microneedling, SkinPen Microneedling, and neurotoxin treatments. Your provider can recommend the best combination approach for your goals.

SknLab is suitable for all skin types, tones, and ages. The treatment advisory mode customizes your protocol based on whether your skin is oily, dry, or combination, and targets your primary concerns whether that is aging, congestion, calming, or brightening.
