While extractions are a common element in many facials, our approach is on enhancing lymphatic movement and boosting hydration, which are key components of maintaining healthy, vibrant skin.

During our facial we focus on lymphatic circulation to help detoxify the skin naturally, reduce puffiness and promote a clearer, more radiant complexion. By supporting the skin's natural healing and regeneration processes, our gentle approach is suitable for all skin, especially sensitive and congested skin..

We also emphasize the importance of hydration. Properly hydrated skin is more resilient, maintains its elasticity and softness. This reduces the likelihood of clogged pores and breakouts which are the reason for the need to do extractions.

We believe that by focusing on these fundamental aspects of skin health helps in preventing the need to do extractions. Our goal is to provide a holistic treatment that not only addresses immediate skin concerns but also contributes to its long-term health and vitality.

  1. Active Skin Infections or Conditions: includes cold sores, severe acne, or any contagious skin conditions.
  2. Recent Cosmetic Procedures: if you've recently had procedures like chemical peels, laser treatments, or Botox, wait 4 weeks before getting a facial.
  3. Allergies or Sensitivities: any known allergies or skin sensitivities
  4. Sunburns: Fresh sunburns can make your skin highly sensitive and prone to further damage.
  5. Medical Conditions: Certain medical conditions, like autoimmune diseases or diabetes, may affect your skin's healing process.
  6. Medications: the medications you're currently taking, especially those like retinols and Accutane. Retinols can significantly increase skin sensitivity. Similarly, Accutane, a powerful medication used for severe acne, has profound effects on the skin, including extreme dryness and increased fragility. While on Accutane, and for a period after its use, the skin is highly vulnerable to irritation.

Full transparency allows us to tailor your facial treatment, choosing products and techniques that will most benefit your skin's current condition and safeguard your skin's health and integrity.

Facial treatments are tailored to you. Let us know of any allergies you have and we can accommodate.
