Treatment steps and method
On arrival your clinician begins with a brief consultation and hand assessment to note dry areas or sensitivities. The treatment uses our house-made polish to exfoliate old dry dead skin cell layers, followed by oil application. Massage distributes the oils while heated gloves support deeper penetration and help the products contact smoother skin beneath surface buildup.
Because the procedure removes surface cells, immediate texture change is common but not permanent; maintenance frequency depends on lifestyle, local seasonal dryness, and hand-washing habits. We adapt pressure and polish intensity for sensitive skin and avoid any products you flag. Expect increased short-term absorption of topical products and plan your day accordingly for this concise service.
How the polish works
The house-made polish acts as a controlled mechanical exfoliant, loosening accumulated dry layers so rough, flaky skin can be lifted away without aggressive abrasion. Technicians use measured application to balance efficacy with comfort, concentrating on areas of roughness while preserving healthy skin. Removing the outer layer reduces the surface irregularities that make skin feel coarse.
After exfoliation, targeted oils are massaged thoroughly into the hands and between fingers to improve surface feel and pliability. The heated gloves are applied to raise local warmth and increase oil absorption; they are used to support product penetration rather than to deliver a medical effect. Combined exfoliation, massage, oil and heat produce a perceptible softening clients notice.
Timing, location and care
The Silky Hand Treatment is a concise 30 MINUTES session priced at $65, making it convenient to add to a morning or afternoon in Peddler's Village. Our Lahaska studio near Lower York Road serves clients from New Hope, Solebury and surrounding towns, allowing you to combine the treatment with shopping, dining, or a visit to the New Hope Railroad while in the area.
After treatment hands typically feel softer and accept moisturizers more readily; we suggest bringing any prescription topical products you use and notifying staff of allergies. Because the polish increases product absorption briefly, avoid applying new active skin treatments immediately afterward. If you have a skin condition, mention it when booking so we can adjust polish intensity and pressure to suit you.
