~Questions and Answers~
Q: What is a Microcurrent Facial?
A: Microcurrent Facial is a non-invasive facial therapy and a clinical approach to facial rejuvenation. It stimulates dermal collagen and tightens elastin/collagen, and will improve the overall health of the skin and facial contouring. Maximum results are achieved with consistent treatments.
Q: Will Microcurrent Hurt?
A: This is a painless treatment that requires no downtime and zero scarring. Microcurrent stimulates cellular activity in the skin naturally without any chemicals.
Q: Will my Microcurrent treatment cause my face to drop or lose the sculpting effect after a session?
A: Short answer is no, your face will not drop. Just like lifting weights at the gym stimulates the muscles, microcurrent stimulates the muscles and connective tissue of our face, which, over time, becomes more sculpted. The more treatments you do, the better the results.
Q: What Specialty Facial is best for me?
A: Here are some general tips to help you navigate through the menu:
If you're looking to be pampered and relax? The Healing Facial, Wellness Facelift, or Radiance Facial
Want a deep cleanse for blackheads, general congestion, and/or acne breakouts? - Acne/Extraction Facial
Are you experiencing irritated or sensitive skin due to Rosacea or Acne? Calming Facial
Specific skincare goals - You can choose any of the Specialty Facials with confidence knowing that you'll have a great experience. Each facial begins with a skin analysis so that any concerns or questions can be addressed.
Q: What is Milia?
A: Milia are small superficial cysts commonly seen on the face, generally around the eyes and cheeks but can be found elsewhere. They will appear as tiny, pearly-white bumps that contain keratin (skin protein) just under the surface of the skin and are harmless. Our Skin Classic Treatment is available for this and other skin irregularities.
Q: What products do you recommend to help Milia?
A: I highly suggest the Image Serums, the right serum for your skin will restore moisture, repair, and maintain a healthy skin barrier function. Apply the serum 2-4 weeks prior to your milia extraction service. This will allow easier extractions and lessen the appearance of milia in the future. I carry the serum(s) in the spa for purchase.
Q: I am interested in Microdermabrasion but concerned that it will hurt or that I'll need time to recover afterward.
A: One of the misconceptions about microdermabrasion is that it hurts or will leave your face red. Neither one of these is true. This is a beautiful treatment that gives the skin a deeper exfoliation and leaves you glowing.
*Please Note: Those with Sunburn, Inflammed Rosacea, Pregnancy, Active Cold Sores, Stroke/Heart Conditions, Topical Facial Medications or Recent Chemo/Radiation should avoid this service.
Q: I'm interested in Chemical Peels how will they help my skin?
A: The best Chemical Peel for your skin is chosen during an in-office consultation and can vary in strength and recovery. I'd like to point out that contraindications, realistic expectations, and post-care are addressed during your visit.
Chemical peels benefit the skin's tone & texture and balance out hyperpigmentation, age spots, scarring, and superficial lines & wrinkles. Most skincare goals require a series of peels.
