It is not uncommon to experience purging after having a facial. Purging occur when your skin is deeply congested with blackheads or whiteheads underneath your skin. If this is your situation, you may experience some breakouts, but be assured they won’t last long.
How often you get a facial depends on the current condition of your skin, the health of your skin and your skincare goals. For proper maintenance we recommend a daily skincare routine at home using our recommended products and a professional facial every 3-4 weeks. At this frequency, your esthetician can monitor your skin throughout the seasons and help you maintain a healthy and glowing complexion.
We recommend Anti-Aging skincare products and facials for both men and women age forty and older. 40+
Depending of the product chosen some people see results immediately. Others, require a series of treatments to be completed before substantial results are achieved. For instance, if your skin has more advanced, long-term needs such as skin aging, acne or hyper-pigmentation caused by hormonal fluctuation or sun damage, your results may not be immediately visible. However, your skin will feel different after the first two weeks and the skin health will continue to improve as you follow the advice of your professional skin therapist. Results will be achieved if you are committed to your series of treatments and continue your home care regimen.
If you are unsure our estheticians will guide you based on your specific skin concerns and goals, whether it’s hydration, acne control, or anti-aging.
Absolutely! We carefully select and customize products for each individual, ensuring they are perfect for your skin type and concerns.

Here's What Most Customers Ask Us About Caring For the Skin After Hair Removal ...
The hair should be at least 1/2-inch long for best results. If your hair is longer we recommend trimming it down a little. It is very important to avoid shaving the area before or between waxing appointments, as this will interrupt the process and stimulate the hair growth again.
The list below are a few important things that should be done prior to your wax appointment.
- Make sure the hair is at least 1/2-inch long.
- Make sure the area(s) to be waxed are clean.
- Discontinue the use of Retin-A, Renova, Hydroquinone or Skin creams at least a week before your wax appointment.
- Make sure you have been off Accutane for at least six months.
- Discontinue the use of Blood Thinners at least one week before your wax appointment.
Don’t drink and wax. Alcohol tightens your pores making waxing more painful. If your tolerance to pain is low we recommend taking an over the counter pain reliever at least one hour before your wax appointment.
Waxing pulls the hair out at the root so the hair takes longer to grow back. Waxing reduces hair growth when performed every two to four weeks. The more you wax, the less hair grows back. Your hair will grow back finer and sparser. Your skin will get a gentle exfoliation. Waxing makes your skin less prone to inflammation.
Avoid hot baths, tight clothing, and excessive sweating for the first 24 hours. Moisturize regularly with one of our body treatment products to keep the skin hydrated.
Results vary, but typically you can expect smoothness for 3-6 weeks.
