"The dedication of Epi Center MedSpa founder and owner Margaret Mitchell to this project, ensuring that every aspect of the new Eco-MedSpa is green for the right reasons, has been inspirational to me and made this project an exciting one," Freed said.
The space was designed by Justin Martinkovic, principal in the San Francisco-based architecture firm MartinkovicMilford. Will Wick of the Wick Design Group designed the interior.
Eco-Fabulous founder and style guru Zem Joaquin served as the "green fashion police" for the project, ensuring that its design adhered to architect and designer William McDonough's strict "Cradle to Cradle" standards. Cradle-to-Cradle requires that as many aspects as possible are designed to be in line with natural systems to create a building that allows nature and commerce to co-exist in a way that supports the well-being of the planet.
Epi Center's Eco-MedSpa will also feature a revamped menu of services that include organic treatments and new procedures that minimize waste and the disposal of toxins into the environment.
Their new, state-of-the-art microdermabrasion technique is crystal free, unlike the aluminum oxide crystals used in most spas today while still providing an effective treatment with long-lasting results.
The MedSpa's signature procedure, the Photofacial SM Elite, continues to be a leader in non-toxic skin rejuvenation.
The physician-led Epi Center Eco-MedSpa is also partnering with well-known San Francisco skin care company Juice Beauty to develop the first line of organic medical grade skin care products.
Traditional medical spa treatments will also remain on the menu, balanced by organic products and a sustainable construction and practices.
"The entire Epi Center MedSpa will be green," says Joaquin. "You don't have to sacrifice style to be eco-fabulous. We certainly didn't in this case, where everything from the aesthetics to the products and services are offered in a beautiful, safe and healthy environment."
