While some standard facials can be booked directly, we highly recommend a consultation for new patients interested in injectables, lasers, or chemical peels. This allows us to assess your skin health, understand your goals, and create a safe, customized treatment plan.

Please arrive 10-15 minutes early to complete any necessary paperwork. If possible, come with a clean face (no makeup). We also recommend bringing a list or photos of your current daily skincare products.

Don't worry! That's exactly what our experts are here for. Simply book a general consultation. We will analyze your skin, listen to your concerns, and recommend the best, most effective treatments for your specific needs.

You'll want to prep your skin gently prior to your chemical peel appointment. Follow the steps below to reduce irritation and enhance the effectiveness of your treatment.

7 Days Before:

• Stop exfoliants (no scrubs, cleansing brushes, or exfoliating acids).

5 Days Before:

• Do not introduce new products (no new vitamin C, brighteners, masks, or exfoliating serums).
• Keep your skincare simple: gentle cleanser + lightweight moisturizer + SPF.
• Keep makeup minimal if you can.

3 Days Before:

• Continue avoiding acids and exfoliation (no acids, no retinoids, no scrubs).
• Avoid heat/sweat exposure if possible (hot yoga, saunas can make skin more reactive).
• Plan downtime for after your peel—keep the next 24 hours easy.

Day of Treatment:

• Start with clean, calm skin.
• Use only gentle cleanser + moisturizer + sunscreen (unless your provider says otherwise).
• Let your provider know if you have a recent sunburn, active irritation, or a history of cold sores.

• After the treatment, it is utmost important to wear a high broad-spectrum SPF cream to protect your skin from sun damage and maintain the best results.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT:

• Temporary redness, stinging sensation.
• Dryness and skin peeling that may last for up to 14 days, depending on the peel.
• Treated skin might turn temporarily darker (brown blotches) or lighter.
• Smaller pores.
• Tighter skin.

It depends on your current skin goals! The H2O Glow is perfect for hydration before a big event, the Pore Decongesting facial is ideal for acne-prone skin, and the Dapper Detox is tailored for men. If you aren't sure, our estheticians will assess your skin before the treatment begins and customize the facial to your exact needs.

We highly recommend letting your skin 'breathe' and absorb the professional serums applied during your facial for the rest of the day. If you must wear makeup, try to wait at least a few hours.

Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that uses tiny, sterile needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. This triggers the body’s natural wound-healing process, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin for smoother, firmer, and more evenly toned skin.

After a Botox treatment, most people feel completely normal right away, with mild, temporary effects in the first few days. Follow these to support comfort and help Botox settle properly.

• Avoid additional heat exposure (see “avoid” section below).

Days 8–14:

• Assess your results as they continue to build.

• Redness or slight irritation at injection points.
• Headache (sometimes from stress/tension).

PRP for hair uses growth factors made from your own blood to support recovery and rejuvenate weakened, dormant hair follicles. During treatment, concentrated platelets are prepared and injected into the scalp, where they help enhance blood supply to the follicles and extend the hair growth phase of the hair cycle.

For best results, we recommend a structured plan that starts with a series of treatments and then moves into ongoing maintenance.

• Initial phase: 3-4 sessions spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart.
• Maintenance phase: 1 session every 4 to 6 months based on your response and hair goals.

This phased approach provides repeated follicle stimulation over time, which supports long-term improvement.

• Early changes (2-3 months): Less shedding and subtle thickening of existing hair may be noticeable.
• Visible growth (3-6 months): New “baby hairs” can begin to appear, with gradual improvements in intensity.
• Ongoing results (6-12 months): With continued sessions and maintenance, hair typically looks fuller, stronger, and more resilient.

PRP works best for men and women who are seeing early thinning or mild to moderate hair loss. Results may be limited in cases of advanced balding, when follicles have become inactive. During your consultation, our team reviews your scalp condition, medical history and hair goals to determine if this treatment is right for you.

While both use radiofrequency energy, Proteus-V is exceptionally effective at targeted, deeper dermal remodeling (excellent for acne scars and pore reduction). Thermagia is highly renowned for its skin-tightening properties, promoting extensive collagen synthesis for an overall anti-aging effect.

Aftercare is similar to traditional microneedling: keep the area clean, deeply hydrated, and strictly protected from the sun. Avoid active ingredients like retinols and exfoliants for at least 5-7 days while the skin heals.

Rejuran utilizes polynucleotides (derived from salmon DNA) for deep tissue repair and anti-inflammatory benefits. Mesotherapy (like our Vitamin or Bright Skin boosters) uses customized cocktails of hyaluronic acid, vitamins, and peptides tailored specifically for hydration and brightening.

Avoid intense heat (saunas, hot yoga), vigorous exercise, and applying makeup for at least 24 hours. Do not massage the treated areas unless instructed by your provider.

You will often notice an immediate 'glow' and hydration boost within a few days. However, progressive improvements in skin elasticity and texture continue to develop over 2 to 4 weeks as cellular turnover is stimulated.
