You may see visible results after the very 1st treatment. Your skin will feel tighter and smoother. In order to achieve long-term results, it is recommended to undergo several treatmentsWhich IPL machine do you use?
We use the Lumecca by Inmode IPL. Lumecca is the most powerful intense pulsed light to treat pigment and vascular lesions. Lumecca operates using photothermolysis, which provides a photo facial through the delivery of a comfortable light treatment.Is there downtime with this treatment?
You might experience temporary redness in the treatment area which should pass within several hours.How many treatments are required?The typical regimen is an average of 4 treatment sessions, spaced 4 weeks apart for optimal results. A full facial skin rejuvenation treatment takes anywhere between 15-30 minutes, after which you can continue your daily routine.
Are the treatments safe and painless?Skin rejuvenation treatment is non-invasive and safe. During the procedure, there may be a slight 1-2 second, momentary stinging sensation that may be felt, but no pain. The treatments have no downtime so you can get them done during your lunch hour and immediately proceed with your daily routine.
Glow Facial
The Glow Facial is a combination of Dermaplaning and the Hydra Facial MSA. Dermaplaning prior to using the Hydra Facial machine allows for more drastic results since the dead skin is being removed from the surface first. This allows for the hydra facial to cleanse the skin and extract pores more deeply. You will obtain instant results that both the dermaplaning and hydra facial MSA give. See below for descriptions of each facial separately to learn more about their benefits.

Why combine HydraFacial and Dermaplaning?
Pairing dermaplaning with HydraFacial enhances your results. Dermaplaning removes dead skin and peach fuzz, allowing the HydraFacial serums to penetrate deeper, leaving your skin ultra-smooth, glowing, and hydrated.

Yes! This treatment is safe and effective for most skin types, including sensitive skin. However, it may not be suitable if you have active acne, open wounds, or certain skin conditions. A skin consultation is always done before treatment.
What should I expect after the treatment?
You’ll notice immediate smoothness, brightness, and hydration. Slight redness may occur, but it usually fades within a few hours. Most clients leave with a visible glow and no downtime.
How often can I get this treatment?
We recommend repeating this facial every 4–6 weeks for best results. Regular treatments help maintain clear pores, smooth texture, and radiant skin.

Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is a form of manual exfoliation similar in theory to microdermabrasion but without the use of suction or abrasive crystals. An esthetician grade, sterile blade is stroked along the skin at an angle to gently “shave off” dead skin cells from the epidermis. Dermaplaning also temporarily removes the fine vellus hair of the face, leaving a very smooth surface. This treatment is not painful, it’s a relaxing facial for anyone looking for a physical exfoliation. Dermaplaning facial includes: double cleanse, dermaplaning, extractions, high frequency, LED therapy, hydration.

No, this is a common myth. Dermaplaning only removes fine vellus hair (peach fuzz), and it will grow back at the same rate, color, and texture as before.
Is dermaplaning safe for all skin types?
Yes! Dermaplaning is generally safe for most skin types, especially those with dull, dry, or sensitive skin. However, it’s not recommended if you have active acne, open wounds, or certain skin conditions (like rosacea or eczema).
How often should I get dermaplaning?
You can enjoy dermaplaning every 4–6 weeks, depending on your skin’s needs. It pairs well with other treatments like facials and chemical peels for enhanced results.
Is there any downtime after dermaplaning?
There’s no real downtime, but you may experience slight redness or sensitivity for a few hours. Avoid makeup, sun exposure, and harsh products for 24 hours post-treatment, and always wear SPF.

What is microneedling and how does it work?
Microneedling is a skin treatment that uses tiny, sterile needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. This triggers your body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production. The result? Smoother, firmer, more radiant skin over time.
What skin concerns can microneedling treat?
Microneedling can help improve: Fine lines & wrinkles, Acne scars, Enlarged pores, Uneven skin tone & texture, Stretch marks, Mild sagging or loose skin
Is microneedling painful?
Most clients describe the sensation as mild to moderate discomfort. A numbing cream is applied beforehand to minimize any pain. After the treatment, your skin may feel warm or tight, similar to a sunburn.
How long is the downtime after microneedling?
Expect some redness and sensitivity for 24–72 hours. Light peeling may occur around days 3–5. Most people resume regular activities the next day with proper aftercare.
How many sessions will I need to see results?
Visible improvements can be seen after just one session, but a series of 3–5 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is recommended for best results, especially for deeper concerns like scarring or wrinkles.
