Spa Cascada is a full-service spa that offers skin care treatments, brow and lash treatments, massage, body treatments, and hair removal services. However, the owner, Amy Snider Porter, is using a genius strategy to set Spa Cascada apart from her competition. Amy told L+A, “Spa Casada is a skin rejuvenation spa inside a spa.” Amy has created a Skin Rejuvenation Spa – featuring an extensive Laser Treatment Menu and Exosome Treatment menu – inside her wildly successful day spa. Amy has selected the legacy skin care, Nelly De Vuyst for her spa and skin rejuvenation spa treatments.
Thanks to Nelly De Vuyst for sponsoring this content so that we can bring the story of Spa Cascada to the L+A Community.
Defining A Skin Rejuvenation Spa
After reviewing the Spa Cascada website and noting that they offered Laser Treatments, L+A reached out to Amy at Spa Cascada and asked, “Do you consider Spa Cascada a Medical Spa?” Amy told us, “We consider Spa Cascada a skin rejuvenation spa within a day spa. Since we do not have a medical director or perform injectables, we do not fall under the medical spa category. We specialize in results-oriented facials and advanced skin treatments paired with custom home care regimens to achieve clients’ skin goals. In the state of New York, estheticians are permitted to do laser treatments, however, at Spa Cascada, we require our estheticians to have a laser certification along with a training certification from our laser companies.”
L+A understands that injectables are a go-to option for many medical + spa skin care clients. So we asked Amy how Spa Cascada helps clients who want to have injectables as part of their treatment plan. Here’s what Amy told L+A, “In New York, nurse practitioners can work independently of doctors for injectables. We refer our clients to local med spas and nurse practitioners for their injectable treatments.”
What Treatments Drive The Most Business At Spa Cascada
L+A asked Amy, what were the most popular treatments at Spa Cascada. Here’s what she told us, “Facials and Hydrafacials are our top skincare menu items. About 70% of our business comes from facials and about 30% of the business comes from Laser and Advanced Skin Treatments. We brought Nelly Devuyst into Spa Cascada as our premier skincare line.”
Why Spa Cascada Choose Nelly De Vuyst
As any spa owner knows, selecting a brand of skin care that is used in nearly 70% of the treatments performed in a facility is a very important decision. L+A asked, “What prompted you to add Nelly De Vuyst to your treatment menu?”
Amy told L+A, “We had been looking for a skincare line to bring into Spa Cascada for some time when we came across Nelly De Vuyst in New York at the IECSC. We were looking for an organic skincare line that delivered results. I was delighted to be reintroduced to Manon, Amir, and the Nelly De Vuyst line, as I had previously worked for Nelly Devuyst years ago as an educator. I had always loved Nelly De Vuyst, their formulas, philosophy, and commitment to sustainability. Their professionalism and warmth reminded me of the integrity of their company. Our estheticians wholeheartedly embraced using the Nelly De Vuyst line, so I immediately knew that it was the right fit for Spa Cascada.”
How Spa Cascada Uses Nelly De Vuyst
On the Spa Cascada website, there is a long list of Nelly De Vuyst treatments in the Facials section of the treatment menu. L+ A asked Amy, “Do you use Nelly De Vuyst in any other treatments in other sections of the menu?”
Amy told L+A, “We carry the full Nelly De Vuyst line and use it extensively in our Facial Menu. We also use Nelly De Vuyst in the Motus MoveoGlo laser skin rejuvenation treatments and Aerolase laser treatments. We also offer Nelly Devuyst peels and use Nelly De Vuyst in our Hydrafacial treatments.”
How Spa Cascada Creates Treatment Plans for Their Clients
We all know that there is not a treatment on the market that is a once-and-done option. It’s common knowledge that medical + spa skin care professionals need to create a skin care treatment plan for patients in order to achieve maximum results. Yes, this even applies to laser treatments.
L+A asked Amy, “Do you see clients who receive laser treatments also getting facials?”
Here’s what she had to say, “Absolutely. Our estheticians and laser technicians customize treatment plans to allow us to achieve optimal results and correct any skin concerns. Our Motus AZ+ laser MoveoGlo skin rejuvenation treatments will reduce capillary activity and redness, hyperpigmentation, and increase collagen and elastin while improving skin texture. Laser skin rejuvenation treatments are recommended and booked in a series. We schedule a Nelly De Vuyst facial best suited for a client between laser sessions. And of course, prioritize regular facials before and after treatment series. It is essential that when a client invests in improving their skin, they commit to a customized Nelly De Vuyst skincare regimen suited for their skin type and concerns.”
