Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

It's My First Time Getting a Facial. Which Treatment Should I Book?

+

If it's your first facial, I typically recommend starting with a deep clean facial. This allows me to fully assess your skin while focusing on the foundation of healthy skin first. During this treatment, we deeply cleanse, exfoliate, perform extractions, and prep the skin properly before moving into more advanced treatments later on. It's the perfect starting point for congested, dull, acne-prone, or dehydrated skin. Starting with the basics helps restore balance to the skin, improve product absorption, and create a healthier canvas for future treatments and long-term results. Every facial is customized based on your skin goals, concerns, and comfort level, so we can create a plan that feels right for you and your skin journey.

How Often Should I Get a Facial?

+

For best results, I typically recommend a facial every 4–6 weeks depending on your skin goals and concerns.

Do You Offer Extractions?

+

Yes. Extractions are included with every facial, microneedling, or treatment performed at Skin by Francaise. Keeping the skin deeply cleansed and free of congestion is an important part of achieving healthy, glowing skin.

Can I Get a Facial if I Have Acne?

+

Absolutely. Treatments are customized to help calm inflammation, clear congestion, and support healthier skin over time.

What Should I Avoid After a Facial?

Avoid excessive heat, workouts, saunas, and active skincare products for at least 24 hours unless otherwise instructed.

What's the Aftercare After My Facial?

For 24 hours after your facial, avoid excessive heat, heavy workouts, saunas, and active skincare products unless otherwise instructed. Keeping the skin hydrated and protected is key for optimal results.

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a collagen-induction treatment (CIT) that stimulates collagen production, improves texture, helps acne scarring, and supports healthier-looking skin overall.

A topical numbing cream is applied prior to treatment to keep you comfortable throughout the session.

You may experience redness similar to a mild sunburn for 24–72 hours with possible dryness or light flaking.

What's the Aftercare After My Microneedling Treatment?
