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

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.
After microneedling, avoid makeup, sweating, direct sun exposure, active skincare products, and excessive heat for at least 24–48 hours. Mild redness, tightness, and light flaking are normal during the healing process.
Most clients see optimal results with a series of 3–6 treatments depending on their skin goals.
I recommend avoiding makeup for at least 24 hours post-treatment to allow the skin to heal properly.
