Frequently Asked Questions

Can I do treatments if I was pregnant?

Micro-dermabrasion, Mico-needling, Dermaplaning, Hydro Jelly Masks and Oxylight treatments are suitable for pregnancy.

What is the cost for no-shows?

Since we are by appointment only, our staff comes just for YOU!

Can OxyLight® be combined with other skin treatments?

Yes. While OxyLight is itself a stand alone anti-aging program, it is also known to greatly complement other skin rejuvenation procedures particularly those that do not address concerns like vitamin hydration, exfoliation, bacterial deposit removal and lymphatic drainage. OxyLight greatly enhances, and may even increase the longevity and results of today's most popular laser and light procedures.

You can use makeup right after but for best results, we recommend letting the skin breath for 24-48 hours without any cosmetics.



  







































  
  
    
      
        
  
  	

  		
  
    
      

    
  

    

  

    
      
        
  
  	
  

    
  



  
  
  

  







  
  
When will I start seeing results?



  













  
  
How many treatments do I need?



  













  
  
Treatments are progressive and cumulative. You will notice more correction with each treatment. Some results, like smoother skin texture and color, are obvious from the very first treatment.



  













  
  
Are the results permanent?
Skin continues to age and respond to lifestyle factors such as sun exposure, skincare habits, and overall health. Maintenance treatments and a consistent home-care routine can help prolong your results.
