During your free consultation, our licensed esthetician will assess your skin type, concerns, and goals to recommend the most suitable treatments. We consider factors like your skin’s sensitivity, health history, and desired results for a personalized plan addressing concerns like acne, pigmentation, aging, or skin texture.

A HydraFacial is a multi-step, technology-driven facial that deeply cleanses, exfoliates, extracts, and hydrates the skin using vortex technology and tailored serums.

• HydraFacial: Combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration, and antioxidant infusion for a glowing complexion with no downtime.
• Microdermabrasion: Uses a device to gently exfoliate the surface layer of skin, helping with texture, dullness, and minor discoloration.
• Dermaplaning: Uses a sterile blade to remove dead skin and fine facial hair for smoother, brighter skin. Each treatment has unique benefits. We can recommend the best option for your skin during your consultation.

Aerolase is an advanced laser platform used for skin rejuvenation and resurfacing. The Aerolase Neo is gentle and treats acne, pigmentation, redness, and fine lines with minimal downtime. The Era laser is more intensive, addressing deeper lines, scars, and significant sun damage. Both options are safe for all skin types and help achieve smoother, clearer, and more youthful skin.

Preparation varies by treatment:

• Laser Hair Removal: Avoid sun exposure for 2 weeks prior, don't wax/thread/pluck the area, and shave the area the day before.
• Chemical Peels: Stop using retinoids or exfoliants about 1 week before; avoid sun and self-tanner.
• Microneedling: Arrive with clean skin, avoid retinoids and active ingredients several days prior, and stay out of the sun. We provide detailed prep instructions before your appointment to ensure you get the best and safest results.

Results depend on the treatment and your individual skin.

• Laser hair removal, body contouring, and skin resurfacing offer longer-lasting or even permanent results with multiple sessions.
• Facials, peels, and hydrafacials provide refreshed, glowing skin for several weeks.
• Treatments like microneedling and chemical peels can improve skin texture and tone for several months with proper aftercare and regular sessions. We'll discuss expected outcomes and maintenance during your consultation.

Mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity are possible with most advanced treatments and usually subside within days. More intensive procedures (like deeper laser resurfacing or strong peels) can have downtime of 3–7 days. We provide you with aftercare instructions to minimize side effects and ensure a smooth recovery.

General post-treatment care includes: 

• Keeping skin moisturized and using only gentle skincare products
• Avoiding sun exposure and always wearing sunscreen
• Not picking, scrubbing, or using harsh products on treated areas

Following your custom aftercare instructions for each specific service We provide clear post-treatment guidelines and product recommendations to help you heal and get the best results.
