Before your scheduled service, it is essential to discontinue the use of harsh acids, active ingredients, and exfoliants for a period of 5-7 days. Choose comfortable attire for your appointment. On the morning of your service, you may apply gentle hydrating products as well as your daily SPF. We kindly ask that you arrive with makeup-free skin to ensure optimal treatment results. For any treatment-specific preparations, please consult with your service provider.

After your facial, it is essential to follow a gentle hydrating routine to maintain skin health. If sun exposure is unavoidable, apply a broad-spectrum SPF to protect your skin. Otherwise, refrain from UV exposure. Minimize physical activity to keep your internal temperature stable and avoid steam, saunas, and hot showers for at least 24 hours.

Hydration is crucial; drink ample amounts of mineral and electrolyte-enhanced water. Incorporate nutrient-dense foods into your diet to support skin recovery. Additionally, refer to any specific instructions provided by your skincare specialist for optimal results.

After your treatment, it's essential to avoid hot water, steam, and activities that raise your body's internal temperature. Elevated heat can lead to potential damage, such as hyperpigmentation. Refrain from using harsh chemicals and exfoliants, including retinols, AHAs, BHAs, fragrances, and scrubs. Instead, select simple, calming, and hydrating products for your skin.

Additionally, it is crucial to steer clear of swimming, sun exposure, tanning, strenuous workouts, and the application of makeup during the recovery period (24-48 Hours). For comprehensive guidance on post-treatment care, please consult your skincare provider.

Medications such as Accutane and other acne treatments, anti-inflammatory medications (including steroids), painkillers, and various prescriptions may necessitate the rescheduling of your services. Additionally, viral infections—such as colds, cold sores, warts—and other conditions such as bacterial or fungal infections, undiagnosed lumps, lesions, or swelling, as well as known sensitivities or allergies to specific products, will require a complete rescheduling of services.

Contraindications such as bruising, swelling, recent scar tissue, eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, acne vulgaris, rosacea, skin tags, milia, recent sunburn, and the use of current medications may necessitate alterations to the planned service.

If you are uncertain about your ability to receive a facial, it is advisable to consult your physician for a doctor’s note; however, please be aware that such a note does not guarantee the approval of the service. Your health and safety are our utmost priority, and we appreciate your understanding in this matter.

Consulting with a skincare professional can provide personalized solutions tailored to your skin type and concerns. Incorporating facial treatments into your skincare regimen can lead to lasting results, giving you the radiant complexion you desire.

It is crucial to acknowledge that while the majority of our skincare and bodycare services prioritize non-toxic standards, certain exceptions are integral to our operational guidelines.

Lash, Brow, and Waxing Services: These services may involve the use of perm-like solutions and serums, waxes, and esters. Additionally, plant-based dyes occasionally contain preservatives, alongside astringents that may be utilized during the service.

Chemical Peels: It is important to note that chemical peels often incorporate degreasing agents, such as acetone and other astringents, combined with formulations that are intentionally strong and potentially irritating—this is characteristic of chemical peel treatments.

Cleaning Protocols: In adherence to Massachusetts State Law, specifically the regulations set forth by the Board of Cosmetology, our cleaning protocols necessitate the use of isopropyl alcohol and Barbicide disinfectant agents for sanitizing surfaces, sinks, and tools involved in facial treatments. To enhance the safety and health of our clients, we exclusively utilize these cleaning agents, complemented by white distilled vinegar in our meticulous cleaning regimen.
