How we approach your skin

The treatments listed above are options, not a prescription. Here's how we get from concern to plan.

  1. Consultation

    We look at your skin in person and ask about your history, medications, sensitivities and what you'd like to change.

  2. A plan for your skin

    Your provider recommends treatments suited to your skin type and tone, explains the timeline and downtime, and may combine treatments where that makes sense for you.

  3. Treat and adjust

    We track how your skin responds and adjust the plan between sessions, along with home care that supports the work done in the spa.

Common questions

How do I know which treatment is right for my skin?

Start with a consultation. Your provider looks at your skin in person, asks about your history, medications and goals, and then recommends a plan. The treatments listed on this page are options that commonly help each concern, not a prescription.

Can you treat more than one concern at a time?

Often, yes. Many people have several overlapping concerns, such as dark marks and texture after acne. Your provider will plan the order and spacing of treatments, since some shouldn't be done close together.

Are these treatments suitable for all skin tones?

Many are. Some light- and heat-based treatments need adjusted settings, or a different option, for deeper skin tones because of the risk of pigment changes. Your provider reviews this before recommending anything.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on the concern and the treatment. Facials and injectables can show a difference within days to a couple of weeks. Treatments that build collagen or fade pigment usually take a series of sessions over several months. You'll get a realistic timeline at your consultation.

Is there downtime?

It ranges from none for most facials to several days of redness and peeling after laser resurfacing. Your provider will tell you what to expect for each treatment before you book it.

When should I see a dermatologist instead?

See a dermatologist or your doctor for any spot that is new, changing, bleeding or itchy, for sudden rashes, or for painful or infected skin. Cosmetic treatment isn't a substitute for a medical diagnosis, and we'll refer you if something needs medical care first.

The information on this page is for general education and isn't a substitute for a diagnosis or advice from a qualified medical professional. Treatment suitability is determined at an in-person consultation, and results vary from person to person.

If you notice a spot that is new, changing, bleeding or itchy, please see a dermatologist or your doctor before any cosmetic treatment.
