Spa facials are primarily about relaxation — the products and steps are often standardized. My facials are clinical and corrective. Every appointment starts with a skin assessment, and every product choice is made based on what your skin actually looks like that day. The goal isn’t just a nice experience (though we aim for that too) — it’s real, lasting improvement.

If you’re new and not sure where to start, the Custom Facial is the best first appointment. It gives us the most flexibility to address what your skin needs and serves as a full assessment for any future treatments. If you have a specific goal — smoothing and refining, or a brightening event treatment — we can point you toward Dermaplaning or Fire & Ice.

It depends on the type and severity. Mild breakouts are usually fine — I’ll adapt the treatment accordingly. For moderate to severe or cystic acne, I’d recommend starting with a consultation so we can assess whether a facial is appropriate or whether the Acne Bootcamp program would be a better fit first.

No — this is one of the most common dermaplaning myths. Vellus hair (peach fuzz) has a fine, tapered tip. When it grows back after dermaplaning, it will look and feel exactly the same as before. The blade doesn’t change the structure or growth rate of the hair.

It has two distinct phases. The first mask creates a warming, tingling sensation as it resurfaces the skin — most clients describe it as intense but manageable. The second mask is cooling and soothing, which balances out the first phase and calms the skin. You’ll leave looking flushed initially, but that typically settles within a few hours, revealing brighter, smoother skin underneath.

For most clients, every 4–6 weeks aligns with the skin’s natural renewal cycle and produces the most consistent results. If you’re working toward a specific goal, we may recommend a slightly different cadence at first. I’ll always give you a personalized recommendation at your appointment.
