For most skin types, a professional facial every 4 to 6 weeks is ideal. This aligns with the skin's natural cell renewal cycle. If you are working on acne, post-acne marks, or pigmentation, more frequent sessions during the active treatment phase may be recommended by your esthetician.

Microneedling uses a device with fine needles to create controlled micro-channels in the upper layers of the skin. This triggers the skin's natural repair response, stimulating collagen and elastin production. The micro-channels also allow active serums — like hyaluronic acid, exosomes, or BioRePeel — to penetrate much deeper than topical application alone. Results improve progressively over several weeks as collagen remodeling continues.

Microneedling can cause mild discomfort, which varies depending on your skin sensitivity and the depth of the treatment. Numbing cream is available upon request. Most clients describe the sensation as mild pressure or warmth rather than pain. After the session, the skin may look flushed for 12–24 hours, which is a normal response.

The Classic Facial is a 60-minute treatment ideal for normal, dry, or dull skin and for clients visiting us for the first time. It includes cleansing, light enzyme exfoliation, a peel, mask, face cream, and SPF protection. The Advanced Facial is more comprehensive (75–90 minutes) and better suited for sensitive, rosacea-prone, or more reactive skin. It adds LED light therapy and optional Vitamin C and Mediderma peel steps. Both treatments are personalized at the session.

A brief skin check is included at the start of every facial appointment at no extra cost. If you have complex skin concerns — such as chronic acne, significant pigmentation, or scarring — we recommend booking the in-depth consultation ($100, 45–60 minutes) first. This allows your esthetician to map out the most effective treatment sequence before starting any procedure.

Absolutely. We treat a significant number of male clients. Men's skin has specific characteristics — it's typically thicker, oilier, and affected by daily shaving — that make professional facial care especially useful. Our estheticians adapt every treatment to the individual's skin condition and goals. There is no one-size-fits-all approach here, regardless of gender.

Microneedling with hyaluronic acid focuses on hydration, smoothing texture, and stimulating collagen production. It is a well-established, accessible option suitable for most skin types and is a good starting point for many clients. Microneedling with exosomes or Salmon DNA is a more advanced approach using biologically active molecules that accelerate skin regeneration and support deeper structural repair. It is preferred for significant post-acne scarring, aging, or loss of elasticity, and typically delivers more intensive results.

Many clients notice an improvement in skin brightness and texture after a single session. For more complex concerns — acne, pigmentation, scarring, or significant texture issues — a series of 4 to 6 sessions is typically recommended, spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart. For microneedling, collagen remodeling continues for up to 3 months after each session, so results build gradually. Your esthetician will set realistic expectations during your consultation.
