General Questions
Q1: What is a facial treatment?
A: A facial is a professional skincare treatment that deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and nourishes the skin. It helps maintain healthy skin, target concerns like acne or ageing, and provides a relaxing experience.
Q2: How often should I have a facial?
A: For general skin maintenance, every 4–6 weeks is ideal. If you’re targeting specific concerns (e.g., acne, pigmentation, or anti-ageing), a tailored plan may include more frequent sessions initially.
Q3: Can I have a facial if I have sensitive skin?
A: Yes. We offer specially formulated facials with gentle ingredients and calming techniques to soothe and protect sensitive skin.
Q4: What’s the difference between a regular facial and an advanced facial treatment?
A: A regular facial focuses on cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration. Advanced facials incorporate technologies like LED light therapy, oxygen infusion, hydrafacial systems, or medical-grade products for deeper results.
Treatment Experience
Q5: Do facials hurt?
A: Most facials are painless and deeply relaxing. Extractions may feel slightly uncomfortable but are performed gently. Treatments like dermaplaning or mild peels may cause temporary tingling or warmth.
Q6: How long do facial treatments take?
A: Sessions typically last 45 to 90 minutes depending on the type of facial and your skin needs.
Q7: What results can I expect after my facial?
A: Most clients experience an immediate glow, smoother texture, and a refreshed appearance. For concerns like pigmentation or acne, results build gradually over multiple sessions.
Aftercare & Skincare
Q8: Can I wear makeup after a facial?
A: It’s best to avoid makeup for 24 hours post-treatment to let your skin breathe and absorb the full benefits of the products used.

A: Yes, please avoid using retinoids, acids, or exfoliants for 3–5 days before and after your treatment. Let us know your current routine during consultation.
Booking & Suitability

A: Yes! We recommend booking 3–5 days before your event for best results and to ensure any temporary redness subsides.
Q12: Are facials suitable during pregnancy?
A: Yes, we offer pregnancy-safe facials. Please inform us beforehand so we can adapt the treatment accordingly.
Q13: How do I know which facial is right for me?
A: We provide a skin consultation before every treatment to assess your skin and recommend the most suitable facial for your concerns.
