MEET & GREET MONDAY



How long have you been with Casbah?
I have been with Casbah over ten years now!  

What is your role at the Spa?
I am a medical esthetician at Casbah Destination.

I hear your a fan of the Cellcosmet Line we're featuring this month... what makes it so great?
Cellcosmet is so great because of the high potency and concentration of active ingredients it contain. This skin care line is one of the best I have ever used. It shows.

Does it take a long time to see results?
Cellcosmet provides instant results with just one facial and then accumulative results with daily use. It's as close to a dip in the' fountain of youth' as you'll get ! 

What's your favourite part of the job?
What I love the most about my job are the fantastic people I work with and meet every day!  

What is your favourite service at the spa?
I love doing facials the most ! Making a difference in my client's well being through relaxation and helping them combat any skin concerns is truly rewarding for me.
What is your favourite thing to do on a Sunday afternoon?
I guess that really depends on the weather these days ;)  Since moving to our new house this spring, I spend most of my Sunday afternoons tending to my beautiful yard. I also spend tons of time with close friends and family .
Thanks Ann!

MEET & GREET MONDAY



How long have you been with Casbah?
I have been at casbah for 5 1/2 years:)

What is your role at the spa?
I am a Medical Esthetician and I am also the Educator for all Signature Casbah Services.

How long have you been treating with the Laser Accent RF Body Contouring?
I've been treating with accent for just over 3 years.

How does it work?
It uses a radio frequency to shrink the adipose tissue (fat pocket) and tightens the skin by heating the tissue to 42ยบ C. This SAFE intentional trauma to the area causes the fibroblasts to strengthen and aides in collagen formation.

Why would you select the Accent Laser over other competing technology?
The accent is popular as it is painless and requires no down time.

Where can it be used?
It can be used on face, arms, buttocks, tummy and thighs . We have seen great results in face, arms and tummy:) 

Does it take a while to see results and how long does it last? What kind of results are you seeing over time?
Results are accumulative and last for a year to a year and a half. A minimum of 6 treatments is recommended at 1 week intervals. This is not a magic wand but great for those stubborn areas that cannot be improved with diet and exersise alone . 

What's your favourite part of the job?
My favorite part of the job is making people feel confident about their appearance and taking the time to feel good and relax.

What is your favourite service at the spa?
My favorite service is the contour body wrap as it is a complete head to toe treatment aiding in detoxification and inch loss but also takes care of the face with our cell cosmet facial treatment.

Jeanine is happy to answer any additional Accent or Contour Wrap questions at jeanine.casbah@shaw.ca. Consults and Accent demos are always complimentary!
You can post my casbah address if any one has additional questions re wraps or accent :) jeanine.casbah@shaw.ca . Consults and accent demos always complimentary only need to call :).
