The place beauty connoisseurs ultimately choose
In response to the question, "Have you had esthetic experience?", 79% of first-time visitors answered "Yes."
This figure indicates that many of S:RA's visitors are not "uninterested in beauty," but rather a demographic that has "seriously confronted beauty, only to feel limitations."
Common feedback from visitors includes:
"I feel the effects immediately after treatment, but it returns to normal in a few days."
"I want to change the condition of my skin itself, not just superficial moisturizing."
"I want to avoid medical procedures with downtime, but I desire more change than esthetics can offer."
S:RA directly addresses these "esthetic refugees."
■ Why does it "return quickly"?
Differences in the "layers" approached
Most general esthetic and home care approaches focus on moisturizing the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the skin. While temporary hydration can be provided, if the underlying foundation of the skin is not properly maintained, the effects will not last long.
