SPRAY TANNING
15 MINS
Spray tanning is a sunless tanning method that involves applying a fine mist of a DHA (dihydroxyacetone) solution to the skin using a spray gun or automated booth. DHA, a colorless sugar, reacts with the amino acids in the skin’s outermost layer, creating a temporary bronze glow that mimics a natural tan. The tan typically develops within 2-8 hours and lasts about 5-10 days, depending on skin type, preparation, and aftercare.
Hi, I'm Makenzie
I’m a licensed esthetician in West Point, IA, with a passion for results-driven skincare. I started my journey in the back of a small hair salon, growing my business into what it is today. Now, I’ve expanded into Duo Skin & Hydration, a space I share with my medical director, where our combined expertise works hand in hand—just like a true duo—to deliver incredible results.
With extensive training and ongoing education, I’m committed to bringing you the best in medical aesthetics. I specialize in treating all skin concerns, from acne and hyperpigmentation to texture and aging. My customized approach is designed to build a strong foundation for healthy, glowing skin—because great skin isn’t just a luxury, it’s a necessity.

How often should I be coming in for a HydraFacial treatment?I tell my clients they should be coming back for a HydraFacial treatment once a month or once every season change.

What makes HydraFacial different?A HydraFacial is different from traditional facial treatments because it combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration, and antioxidant infusion in one treatment using a patented vortex technology. Unlike standard facials, which rely on manual techniques, the HydraFacial device uses a gentle, vacuum-powered suction to deeply cleanse and remove impurities while simultaneously infusing the skin with hydrating and nourishing serums. This non-invasive treatment delivers instant, noticeable results with no downtime, making it suitable for all skin types. It’s especially effective for improving skin texture, reducing fine lines, minimizing pores, and enhancing overall radiance, providing a deeper and more consistent level of rejuvenation compared to traditional facials.

Am I a candidate for the HydraFacial?Yes! The HydraFacial is designed for all skin types and is safe for most individuals, even those with sensitive skin. It’s an excellent option if you’re looking to improve concerns like dullness, fine lines, congestion, enlarged pores, uneven texture, or dryness. The treatment is non-irritating and customizable, allowing us to tailor it to your specific skin needs. However, if you have active rashes, sunburn, or certain skin conditions like rosacea or severe acne, we may recommend an alternative treatment or modify the HydraFacial to suit your skin’s condition. A consultation will help determine if it’s the best option for you!

What can I expect during treatments?During a HydraFacial at MC Aesthetics, you can expect a relaxing, non-invasive treatment that delivers instant, glowing results with no downtime. The treatment follows a three-step process. Depending on the level chosen, the entire process takes about 30-45 minutes, and you’ll leave with plumper, smoother, and more refreshed skin immediately after. Results can last up to a week or longer, and regular treatments can help maintain a clear, youthful complexion over time.
