Preparing for Your Skincare Treatment

01

Complete Any Forms In Advance

If you're a new client, be sure to fill out any required intake forms before your appointment. This helps me understand your skin, lifestyle, and any concerns to tailor your facial perfectly to your skins needs. If you are a repeat client, update any changes. We will discuss these at the beginning of your appointment.

02

Pause Exfoliation & Active Ingredients

Avoid retinol, strong acids (AHAs/BHAs), benzoyl peroxide, or any harsh exfoliants 48 hours before to prevent sensitivity.

03

Wear Comfortable Clothing

You will be laying in a warm, cozy bed. Opt for comfy, loose fitting clothes. You will be given an optional body wrap to put on so no products (like massage oil) get on your clothes.

Essential Aftercare Steps for Optimal Results

01

Hydration is Key

Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated and support the healing process. Proper hydration enhances the effectiveness of your treatment and promotes a radiant complexion.

02

Avoid Touching Your Face

Let your skin breathe and heal—avoid picking, touching, or applying unnecessary products.

03

Don't Skip Sun Protection

Your skin is more sensitive after a facial, so protect it with broad-spectrum SPF 30+ to protect your skin from UV damage.

This is crucial after treatments to prevent pigmentation and ensure lasting results.

  • What is Facial Cupping?

    Facial cupping is a gentle technique that uses suction cups to promote blood circulation, reduce puffiness, and enhance skin elasticity. It can help achieve a more youthful appearance.

  • How Often Should I Get Treatments?

    The frequency of treatments depends on your skin type and goals. Generally, we recommend starting with a series of treatments every 4-6 weeks for optimal results. 

  • Will Facial Cupping Leave Bruising?

    No—unlike traditional body cupping, facial cupping uses gentle, gliding movements to avoid bruising while increasing blood flow and detoxifying the skin. The result is a healthy, natural glow without any downtime.

  • What Results Can I Expect?

    Results vary by individual, but many clients notice improved skin texture, reduced fine lines, a radiant glow, and overall relaxed and refreshed after their treatments.

  • Can I Combine Treatments?

    Absolutely! Combining treatments can enhance results. Your Esthetician will create a personalized plan to address your specific skincare goals.

  • What Should I Do Before My Appointment?

    To prepare for your appointment, avoid heavy makeup and skincare products. Hydrate well for optimal results. Go to "Client Care Guide" for further tips, or feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns.
