Frequently Asked Questions
What is a facial?
A facial is a professional skin treatment that deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and nourishes the skin to improve its health and appearance.
What is microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive exfoliation treatment that removes dead skin cells, improves texture, and stimulates collagen for a smoother, brighter complexion.
How is microdermabrasion different from a regular facial?
Facials focus on cleansing, hydration, and relaxation. Microdermabrasion is targeted resurfacing that reduces imperfections and improves product absorption.
What skin concerns does microdermabrasion treat?
It can help with fine lines, acne scars, uneven pigmentation, sun damage, dull skin, and enlarged pores.
Is microdermabrasion safe for all skin types?
Yes, for most skin types, but it may not be suitable for highly sensitive skin, active acne, eczema, or rosacea.
How long does a treatment take?
Most sessions last 30–60 minutes depending on the treatment plan.
How many sessions will I need?
Visible results often appear after one session. For best results, we recommend 4–6 treatments spaced 2–4 weeks apart.
Is there downtime?
Minimal. You may have mild redness for a few hours but can resume normal activities right away.
Can it be combined with other facials?
Yes, it works well with hydrating facials, chemical peels, and LED therapy for deeper results.
How should I care for my skin after treatment?
Use SPF 30+, avoid sun for 48 hours, keep skin hydrated, and skip harsh scrubs or acids for 3–5 days.
How often should I get this treatment?
Facials every 4–6 weeks, microdermabrasion every 2–4 weeks depending on skin goals.
Who should avoid microdermabrasion?
Those with open wounds, severe acne, eczema, rosacea flare-ups, or recent chemical peels/laser treatments.
What are body treatments?
Body treatments are professional spa services designed to cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate, and rejuvenate the skin on the body, improving texture, tone, and overall appearance.
What types of body treatments do you offer?
We offer body scrubs, wraps, and targeted treatments that address dryness, uneven skin tone, cellulite, and relaxation needs.
What is the difference between a body scrub and a body wrap?
A body scrub exfoliates dead skin cells to leave skin smooth and soft. A body wrap involves applying nourishing or detoxifying products to the body, then wrapping it to allow deeper absorption.
What skin concerns can body treatments help with?
They can improve rough or dry skin, dullness, uneven texture, minor blemishes on the body, and the appearance of cellulite.
Are body treatments safe for everyone?
Most people can enjoy body treatments, but they may not be suitable for those with certain skin conditions, open wounds, or allergies to treatment ingredients.
How long does a body treatment take?
Most sessions last 45–90 minutes, depending on the service chosen.
How often should I get a body treatment?
For best results, monthly sessions are recommended, or more frequently if addressing specific skin concerns.
Do body treatments help with detoxification?
Some treatments, like seaweed wraps or mud masks, can support detoxification by stimulating circulation and promoting sweating.
Can body treatments be combined with massages or facials?
Yes, they pair well with massages for relaxation or facials for a complete spa experience.
Is there downtime after a body treatment?
No downtime is usually required. You can resume your regular activities right after the session.
How should I care for my skin after a body treatment?
Stay hydrated, use a gentle body moisturizer, and avoid hot showers or exfoliating products for 24 hours.
Who should avoid body treatments?
Those with skin infections, sunburn, open cuts, or certain medical conditions should consult with a spa professional before booking.
What are laser and IPL treatments?
Laser and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments use targeted light energy to address skin concerns such as unwanted hair, pigmentation, broken capillaries, and signs of aging.
What’s the difference between laser and IPL?
Laser uses a single, focused wavelength of light for precise targeting. IPL uses broad-spectrum light, making it versatile for treating multiple skin concerns in one session.
What skin issues can laser and IPL treat?
They can improve unwanted hair growth, sunspots, freckles, redness, broken capillaries, acne scars, fine lines, and uneven skin tone.
Is laser or IPL hair removal permanent?
These treatments significantly reduce hair growth. Results are long-lasting, but occasional maintenance sessions may be needed.
Are laser and IPL treatments safe?
Yes, when performed by trained professionals using medical-grade devices. A consultation ensures the treatment is right for your skin type and concerns.
Do these treatments hurt?
Most clients describe the sensation as a mild snap or warm pulse. Discomfort is minimal and temporary.
How long does a session take?
Treatment time varies based on the area — from 15 minutes for small spots to over an hour for larger areas.
How many sessions will I need?
Typically 4–8 sessions spaced 3–6 weeks apart, depending on the concern and your skin’s response.
Is there downtime after laser or IPL?
Minimal downtime. Some redness or mild swelling may occur, resolving within hours to a couple of days.
What should I avoid before treatment?
Avoid sun exposure, tanning, and harsh exfoliants for at least 2 weeks prior. Shave (but do not wax) the treatment area if doing hair removal.
What should I do after treatment?
Apply SPF 30+, avoid heat (hot showers, saunas) for 24 hours, and keep skin moisturized.
Who should avoid laser or IPL treatments?
Those who are pregnant, have certain skin conditions, or are taking light-sensitive medications should avoid these treatments.
1. What is permanent makeup?
Permanent makeup, also known as cosmetic tattooing or micropigmentation, is a technique where pigment is implanted into the skin to enhance features such as eyebrows, eyeliner, and lips.
2. How long does permanent makeup last?
Permanent makeup typically lasts 2–5 years, depending on skin type, lifestyle, and sun exposure. Touch-ups are recommended to maintain colour vibrancy.
3. Is permanent makeup painful?
Most clients feel minimal discomfort as a numbing cream is applied before and during the procedure. Sensitivity levels vary by person.
4. How long does a permanent makeup appointment take?
A full session usually takes 2–3 hours, including consultation, shaping, colour selection, and the procedure itself.
5. What is the healing process like?
Healing takes about 7–14 days. You may notice slight redness, swelling, and scabbing. Colour will soften and settle during this period.

Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood-thinning medications 24 hours before your appointment. Arrive with clean skin and no makeup on the area being treated.

Permanent makeup may not be suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women, people with certain skin conditions, or those prone to keloid scarring. Always consult with our technician first.

Most sessions last 60 to 90 minutes. Shorter 30-minute massages are also available for targeted treatments, such as neck, shoulders, or back.
8. Can massage help with stress and anxiety?
