Tre Balm

Sweat, sun, and stress are wreaking mid-summer havoc on your skin. How to cope? TLC from Tre Balm, a Presidio Heights dermal oasis that redefines calm.

Featured in publications like Allure, Vogue Men's and InStyle, Tre Balm is a full-service spa and boutique co-owned and operated by Senior Estheticians Sarah Ambrosek and Erica Gisvold. Driven by their own personal quests for healthy, vibrant skin, this dynamic duo offers a variety of services to clients, including facials, massage, waxing, acupuncture, and cupping. Want to bring something home from your visit? There's a boutique stocked with goodies from local artisans and jewelers, too.

Bring your skin back to life with the Microdermabrasion Facial, a Tre Balm specialty that's ideal for acne-ridden, scarred, or sun damaged skin. Using crystal-free diamond technology, it gently polishes away imperfections to reveal fresh, healthy dermal layers. Have sensitive skin? Try the Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment Facial (a favorite at 58th Annual Emmy Awards Style Lounge), which detoxifies and kills surface bacteria, leaving skin feeling fresh and new.

Prefer a full body recharge? The Delightful Basic Massage combines Swedish, Sports, Deep Tissue, Thai, and Shiatsu Methods for a treatment customized just for you. Old world apothecary ointments are used to therapeutically relax, so you'll feel luxuriously rejuvenated.

* There are add-ons. Does he have specific needs? No problem: with Tre Balm's list of treatment add-ons (Oxygen, Collagen, and ADN Serums for massages; Vitamin C and Hydro-Repair for facials), he can get just what he needs for a minimal extra charge.
* It's recognized. A favorite with locals, Tre Balm has also been frequented by celebs like Fran Drescher, Rashida Jones, and "24"'s Roger Cross-- and when celebs get a hold of something, you know it's good.

That's the high road to Tre calm.
