Frequently Asked Questions: Super Hydration Treatment
What is a Super Hydration Treatment?
A Super Hydration Treatment is an intensive facial designed to restore moisture deep within the skin, repair a compromised moisture barrier, and plump dry or dehydrated skin using specialized hydration serums and nourishing lipid complexes.
How does it differ from a standard facial?
While a traditional facial focuses heavily on deep cleansing and extractions, a Super Hydration Treatment focuses primarily on replenishing lost moisture, binding water to skin cells with multi-molecular hyaluronic acid, and sealing in hydration with barrier-repair ceramides.
Is there any downtime after the treatment?
There is zero downtime. Your skin will immediately look plumper, softer, and more radiant, making it an excellent option right before a special event or trip.
How many sessions are recommended?
You will see an immediate improvement after a single session. For chronically dry or dehydrated skin, receiving treatments every 2 to 4 weeks helps rebuild and sustain your skin’s natural barrier.
Can I get this treatment if I have acne or oily skin?
Yes. Oily skin is often dehydrated (lacking water rather than oil), which can cause the skin to overproduce oil. This treatment delivers oil-free moisture that balances oil production without clogging pores.
How do I maintain my hydration results at home?
Avoid washing your face with hot water, use a gentle cleanser, apply a hyaluronic acid serum on damp skin, and lock in moisture daily with a ceramide-rich moisturizer and broad-spectrum sunscreen.
Frequently Asked Questions: BioRePeel
What is BioRePeel? BioRePeel is a medical-grade, 35% TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) chemical peel that revitalizes skin without the traditional peeling or downtime associated with deep chemical peels. It stimulates cell turnover and collagen production to improve texture and tone.
How much does BioRePeel cost and how long is the session? The treatment costs $290 for a 75-minute session.
What skin concerns does BioRePeel target? BioRePeel is effective for addressing:
Fine lines and surface wrinkles
Active acne, congestion, and enlarged pores
Hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and age spots
Uneven skin texture and dullness
Mild acne scars
Does BioRePeel actually make your skin peel? Unlike traditional TCA peels, BioRePeel utilizes a biphasic technology that bypasses the outer layer of the skin to target deeper tissue. This means minimal to no visible shedding or peeling, allowing you to return to normal activities immediately.
How many sessions will I need for optimal results? While you will notice a refreshed glow after just one treatment, a series of 4 to 6 sessions spaced 7 to 12 days apart is recommended for optimal results with acne, pigmentation, or texture concerns.
How should I prepare for a BioRePeel treatment? Stop using active exfoliating ingredients (retinoids, AHA/BHA acids, benzoyl peroxide) 3 to 5 days prior to your session. Avoid direct sun exposure, tanning, and facial waxing for at least a week before treatment.
What is the post-treatment care? Keep your skin well-hydrated with a gentle moisturizer, avoid active ingredients for 5 days post-treatment, and apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily. Avoid intense exercise, saunas, and heavy sweating for 24–48 hours.
Frequently Asked Questions: Luxe Signature Facial
What is the Luxe Signature Facial? The Luxe Signature Facial is a 90-minute customized anti-aging skin therapy. It integrates a personalized consultation, deep exfoliation, a lifting massage, and targeted treatment like LED light therapy to restore skin hydration, tone, and radiance.
How much does the treatment cost and how long does it take? The treatment costs $290 for a complete 90-minute session.
What skin concerns does the Signature Facial address? It is tailored to help with aging concerns, uneven skin texture, dullness, loss of firmness, and dehydration.
Is the Signature Facial customized for my skin type? Yes. Every session begins with a personalized consultation to evaluate your skin's condition, goals, and lifestyle before selecting specific exfoliation, hydration, and firming techniques.
What steps are included in the Signature Facial? Depending on your skin's specific needs during your visit, your treatment may include:
Professional exfoliation (e.g., enzyme treatments or microdermabrasion)
Extractions and deep pore cleansing
Lifting and firming facial massage
Hydrating masks and LED light therapy
How should I prepare for my treatment? Avoid aggressive exfoliation or active skincare ingredients (such as retinoids or strong acids) for 3–5 days prior to your appointment.
Is there any downtime after the treatment? There is generally no downtime. You can expect your skin to look immediately refreshed, hydrated, and glowing, making it suitable shortly before special events.
Frequently Asked Questions: Anti-Acne Facial
What is an Anti-Acne Facial?
An Anti-Acne Facial is a non-invasive holistic skin treatment designed to deep-clean pores, soothe active breakouts, and calm redness using gentle exfoliation, manual extractions, and targeted purifying masks.
Will manual extractions hurt or cause scarring?
When performed by a licensed esthetician, extractions are done safely and gently to clear congestion without damaging the skin. You may feel mild pressure, but the process is kept as comfortable as possible.
How often should I get an Anti-Acne Facial?
For active breakouts, receiving a facial every 2 to 4 weeks is ideal to support your skin's natural renewal cycle. Once your skin clears, monthly maintenance facials help prevent future congestion.
Is there any downtime after the treatment?
There is no downtime. You may experience slight, temporary redness immediately following extractions, but this usually subsides within a few hours.
Can I apply makeup right after my appointment?
It is recommended to keep your skin clean and free of makeup for at least 12 to 24 hours post-treatment to allow your freshly cleared pores to breathe and absorb the calming serums.
How does a spa facial differ from a medical acne treatment?
A day spa facial focuses on non-prescription exfoliation, deep cleansing, hydration, and relaxation. It does not include prescription topicals, or invasive clinical procedures.
Frequently Asked Questions: VI Peel
What is a VI Peel? The VI Peel is a gentle yet powerful, chemical peel formulated with a synergistic blend of ingredients (including TCA, Salicylic Acid, Retinoic Acid, Phenol, and Vitamin C). It penetrates the dermis to stimulate collagen, promote cellular turnover, and improve overall skin clarity.
What skin concerns does the VI Peel address? It is designed to treat a variety of skin issues, including:
Hyperpigmentation, melasma, and sun damage
Active acne, acne breakouts, and post-acne scarring
Fine lines, surface wrinkles, and uneven skin texture
Loss of elasticity and dullness
Is the VI Peel painful? No. Most clients experience little to no discomfort. A mild tingling or warming sensation may be felt during application, but the formulation includes numbing agents to ensure a comfortable experience.
What is the downtime and peeling process like?
Days 1–2: Skin may feel tight or slightly tanned.
Days 3–5: Active peeling typically begins, starting around the mouth and spreading to the rest of the face.
Days 6–7: Peeling subsides, revealing fresh, smoother skin underneath.
How should I care for my skin after a VI Peel? You will receive a post-care kit with instructions. Key guidelines include:
Avoid picking, pulling, or peeling shedding skin.
Use gentle, non-irritating cleansers and hydrating moisturizers.
Apply broad-spectrum SPF daily and minimize direct sun exposure.
Avoid strenuous workouts, saunas, and excessive sweating while peeling.
How many sessions are recommended? While you will see noticeable improvements after a single treatment, a series of 3 to 4 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is often recommended for deep pigment, severe acne, or stubborn scarring.
Frequently Asked Questions: Salmon DNA (PDRN) Therapy
What is Salmon DNA (PDRN) therapy?
Salmon DNA therapy uses purified polydeoxyribonucleotides (PDRN) extracted from salmon DNA to stimulate cellular repair, boost collagen production, and regenerate damaged skin tissue.
How is the treatment performed?
The PDRN solution is applied topically during micro-channeling or Microneedling procedures. This creates micro-channels in the skin that allow the nutrient-rich serum to absorb deeply into the dermis.
Is Salmon DNA safe for all skin types?
Yes, PDRN is highly bio-compatible with human skin and suitable for almost all skin types. However, individuals with severe fish allergies should avoid this treatment.
What skin concerns does Salmon DNA treat?
It is ideal for addressing fine lines, loss of elasticity, dull or dehydrated skin, acne scars, uneven texture, and compromised skin barriers.
How many treatments are needed for best results?
While skin feels more hydrated and radiant within a few days, a series of 3 to 4 treatments spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart is generally recommended for optimal collagen building and long-term skin rejuvenation.
Is there any downtime?
Downtime is minimal. You may experience slight redness or sensitivity for 24 to 48 hours following the micro-channeling application, similar to a mild sunburn.
Frequently Asked Questions: Pigment Reset Treatment
What is a Pigment Reset Treatment?
A Pigment Reset Treatment is an advanced skin therapy designed to reduce hyperpigmentation, break up sun damage, and fade dark spots by encouraging cellular turnover and inhibiting excess melanin production.
How does the treatment work?
The treatment utilizes targeted chemical exfoliation, high-potency brightening serums (such as Vitamin C, niacinamide, or kojic acid), and soothing barrier-repair masks to target discoloration at both surface and deeper skin layers.
How many sessions will I need to see results?
While skin looks brighter and more radiant after a single session, optimal fading of stubborn dark spots or melasma typically requires a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart.
Is there any downtime?
Downtime is minimal. You may experience mild flaking, tightness, or light redness for 2 to 4 days post-treatment as your skin sheds dead, pigmented cells.
How do I prevent pigmentation from returning after treatment?
Daily application of a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ is essential. Protecting your skin from UV exposure and avoiding hot baths or heavy steam for 48 hours post-treatment helps maintain your results and prevents rebound pigmentation.
Who is a good candidate for Pigment Reset?
This treatment is ideal for anyone dealing with sun spots, age spots, post-acne marks (PIH), or uneven skin tone. A initial skin evaluation helps determine the ideal intensity for your skin type.
Frequently Asked Questions: Lash Lift & Brow Lamination
How long does a Lash Lift last?
A Lash Lift typically lasts approximately 6–8 weeks, depending on your natural lash growth cycle and individual aftercare.
Does a Lash Lift use lash extensions?
No. A Lash Lift works with your natural lashes and does not require lash extensions.
Is a Lash Lift good for special occasions?

How long does Brow Lamination last?
Results vary depending on individual brow hair growth, hair type, and aftercare. Your esthetician can provide personalized guidance based on your brows.
Does Brow Lamination add hair to my brows?
No. Brow Lamination works with your natural brow hairs to create a fuller, more lifted, and defined appearance.
Is Brow Lamination good for special occasions?
Yes. Brow Lamination can be a beautiful option before weddings, photoshoots, vacations, celebrations, or other special occasions. If it is your first treatment, consider scheduling it with enough time before an important event.
