Microblading & Permanent Makeup
Who performs microblading at Shine?
Microblading at Shine is performed by founder and owner Marika Grantham.
Does microblading hurt?
A topical numbing agent is applied first. Most clients describe minimal discomfort, and some have even fallen asleep during treatment. Learn about eyebrow microblading.
How long does microblading last, and do I need touch-ups?
Microblading results typically last 1 to 3 years. A follow-up touch-up is scheduled about a month after the first session, and most clients book a maintenance touch-up every 12 to 18 months to keep brows looking fresh.
What other permanent makeup do you offer?
Shine offers permanent eyeliner, lip blush, areola restoration, scar camouflage and vitiligo camouflage.
Injectables & Skin
Who performs Botox and filler injections at Shine?
Injectables at Shine are performed by Shine’s on-site physicians and registered nurses. Dr. Cela Doppelt is a master injector, and Dr. Alla Guenin performs dermal fillers and PDO thread lifts. Learn about Botox.
What is the difference between Morpheus8, CO2 laser and AdvaTx?
All three improve skin texture and tone in different ways, typically with little to no downtime. Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to tighten skin, Tetra CoolPeel CO2 resurfaces the skin’s surface, and AdvaTx is a laser resurfacing treatment. Your consultation will match the right treatment to your skin and your schedule.
Laser Hair Removal
Is laser hair removal painful?
Shine uses the Motus AX laser, which clients consistently describe as virtually pain-free. It is suitable for all skin types.

Most clients need 6 to 8 sessions of Motus AX laser hair removal for best results. Your provider will recommend a schedule at your consultation.
