Which facial should I book first?
The Vis a Vis Signature is built for first visits: 90 minutes, with every step adjusted to your skin that day. If you know your concern but not the facial, book the Clinical Facial & your esthetician picks the focus on arrival.
How often should I get a facial?
Most clients come in monthly to quarterly, depending on what they're working on. HydraFacial suits every 4 weeks, the Clinical Facial every 4 to 6, & the Sculpt facial every 3 to 4.
What's the difference between a facial & a peel?
A facial is a full appointment: cleanse, exfoliation, usually extractions, & a mask. A peel is one focused step, an acid that lifts away dull surface skin. The Refining Peel takes 30 minutes with one of four acids chosen for your skin. BioRePeel takes 60 & works deeper, with little to no visible peeling.
How much does a facial cost?
From $130 for the Teen Facial & $195 for the Signature 60, to $300 for the Bespoke & $380 for the full Oxylight. Peels start at $150. Every facial page lists exactly what's included.
Is there any downtime?
Not for the facials. Some Clinical actives leave mild warmth or light pinkness for an hour or two. After a peel, expect some redness or a warm, tight feeling for a few hours, sometimes into the next day, & maybe light flaking.
Can I get a facial while pregnant?
Tell us when you book so we can plan around it. The Sculpt facial isn't suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, & some Oxylight technologies aren't either.
