Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Illuminating Facial - 30 mins.

Yes. This service uses gentle exfoliation and customizable products; we adjust formulas for sensitive skin and perform a brief consultation. Mild redness may occur but typically subsides within hours. Tell your therapist about sensitivities or allergies for a patch test and tailored treatment.

For maintenance, plan one Illuminating Facial 30 mins every three to four weeks. If addressing dullness quickly, begin with two treatments spaced two weeks apart, then transition to monthly visits. Your therapist will recommend a schedule based on results and skin sensitivity.

This 30-minute facial improves surface discoloration and brightness but is not designed to erase deep acne scars or severe hyperpigmentation. For deeper scarring we recommend medical-grade peels, microneedling, or laser treatments; we can assess and create a combined treatment plan.

Minimal downtime is expected. You may experience slight redness or sensitivity for a few hours; most clients resume normal activities immediately. Avoid heavy exercise, saunas, and direct sun exposure for 24 hours. Follow our post-care advice for optimal results.

Light makeup can usually be applied after treatment, but we advise waiting at least thirty minutes to let products absorb. Use non-comedogenic, gentle formulas and always apply broad-spectrum SPF if you’ll be outdoors. Your therapist can provide touch-up recommendations.

Avoid strong active ingredients like retinol, AHAs, and benzoyl peroxide for forty-eight hours after treatment. Also skip harsh scrubs or exfoliants and prolonged sun exposure. Stick to gentle cleansers, hydrating moisturizers, and daily SPF to protect newly resurfaced skin.
