What happens during a facial?
Each facial begins with a skin consultation, followed by double cleansing, exfoliation, extractions (if needed), a customized mask, serum, moisturizer, and SPF. Every step is tailored to your skin type and concerns.
Do facials hurt?
Most treatments are relaxing and gentle.
Extractions can feel slightly uncomfortable, but we always work within your comfort level.
How often should I book a facial?
For best results, schedule a facial every 4–6 weeks.
Consistency helps maintain clear, healthy, glowing skin.
Can I wear makeup after my appointment?
It’s recommended to avoid makeup for 24 hours after your facial to allow your skin to fully absorb nutrients.
If you really need to wear makeup, choose a mineral-based foundation, as it’s gentler on the skin and less likely to clog pores.
Can I get a facial if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?
Yes — but certain ingredients and treatments may be avoided.
Please tell us before your appointment so we can customize your treatment safely.
What skincare products do you use?
We use high-quality, professional-grade skincare carefully chosen for safety, effectiveness, and results.
Do you accept walk-ins?
Appointments are required.
Please book through our online booking system.

Do not tan or intentionally expose your skin. Sunburned skin cannot be treated.

Day of Your Appointment:
✔ Arrive with clean skin
Try to avoid makeup or heavy skincare products after your facial if possible.
All of our treatments begin with a thorough double cleanse, so your skin will be properly prepped — no need to worry too much.
✔ Avoid caffeine immediately before your appointment
Caffeine can overstimulate the nervous system, making extractions more sensitive.

Some products and treatments will be adjusted for safety.
✔ Tell your esthetician about recent cosmetic treatments
Such as:
Botox
Fillers
Chemical peels
Laser

Microneedling
These can affect treatment timing.
