  • Pause Actives: Discontinue Retin-A, Retinol, and strong exfoliating acids (glycolic/salicylic) 3 days prior.

  • No Waxing: Avoid waxing or depilatories on the face for 48 hours before your appointment.

  • Men: Shave the night before or at least 4 hours prior to avoid irritation.

  • Sun Exposure: We cannot treat active sunburn.

  • Step 1: Cleanse + Peel: We uncover a new layer of skin with gentle exfoliation and relaxing resurfacing.

  • Step 2: Extract + Hydrate: The device removes debris from pores with painless suction while nourishing with intense moisturizers.

  • Step 3: Fuse + Protect: We saturate the skin’s surface with antioxidants and peptides to maximize your glow.

  • The Speed: This is a focused, fast-paced treatment designed to get you in and out.

  • Instant Radiance: You will look incredibly hydrated and smooth immediately.

  • No Redness: Unlike manual extractions, the vacuum suction leaves little to no redness.

  • Smooth Texture: Your skin will feel polished and “breathable.”

  • Let It Soak: Try not to wash your face for the rest of the day (or at least 4 hours) to let the serums work.

  • Sun Protection: Your fresh skin is sensitive to UV. SPF is non-negotiable.

  • Resume Routine: You can go back to your normal skincare the next morning. Wait 3 days before restarting strong Retinols.

FAQ

The Express is the core 3-step treatment (Cleanse, Extract, Hydrate). The Deluxe adds two major clinical steps: a targeted Medical Booster (to treat pigment/lines) and LED Light Therapy (to build collagen).

Yes! It includes the signature “Beta-HD” automated extraction step, which uses vacuum suction to painlessly clear out blackheads and congestion.

Yes. Your skin will be smooth and primed. However, we love seeing the skin breathe for a few hours if your schedule permits.

Generally, yes. We simply swap out the standard salicylic acid step for a pregnancy-safe alternative so you can still get the deep clean without the risk. Just let us know when you book.

It is excellent for mild congestion and blackheads. If you have inflamed, cystic acne, we might recommend our dedicated Acne Treatment instead, which focuses more on bacteria killing and manual extractions.

Not at all. It feels like a cool, wet paintbrush moving over your face. It is one of the most comfortable medical facials available.
