However, depending on the specific treatments involved, you may experience temporary redness, sensitivity, or mild peeling, particularly with more intensive procedures such as chemical peels or microdermabrasion. Our estheticians will provide post-treatment care instructions to ensure optimal results and comfort.

  • To prepare for your facial, arrive with clean, makeup-free skin. During your consultation, you’ll be able to share any skincare concerns or preferences with your esthetician. Avoid using exfoliating products or undergoing other facial treatments in the days leading up to your appointment to prevent potential irritation or adverse reactions (such as Retinols, Vitamin C, Hydroquinone, AHA and BHA acids etc.)

Your esthetician will recommend the most suitable options based on your individual needs and goals.

  • LED light therapy is a highly effective treatment incorporated into our Subtle Advanced Facial for numerous proven benefits. This innovative therapy utilizes specific wavelengths of light to penetrate deep into the skin, stimulating and promoting overall skin health. Some of its clinically proven benefits include:

    • Skin Rejuvenation: promotes collagen production, helping to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and improve skin elasticity for a more youthful appearance.

    • Acne Treatment: targets acne-causing bacteria, reducing inflammation and preventing future breakouts, making it an effective treatment for acne-prone skin.

    • Redness Reduction: reduces redness and inflammation, soothing sensitive skin conditions such as rosacea and calming irritated skin.

    • Hyperpigmentation Correction: helps to even out skin tone by reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation and age spots, resulting in a more radiant complexion.

    • Accelerated Healing: accelerates the skin's natural healing process, making it ideal for post-treatment recovery or for soothing irritated skin
