FAQ

The 411 on Extractions

- Extractions will only be performed during 90+ min treatment sessions. The skin needs to be properly prepped pre extraction and properly treated post extraction. This requires additional steps not suited to a 60 minute treatment. If you think you may need more than 5 mins of extraction time, please book the Extra Extraction Time add on for no additional charge.

- To prevent the spread of bacteria, unnecessary trauma to the skin, risk of scarring, and hyperpigmentation— we do not extract inflamed acne. Only non-inflamed acne will be extracted, such as: normal pore congestion, blackheads, whiteheads, and closed comedones. We do not extract Milia or anything that would need to be lanced or cause bleeding.

What is High Frequency?

High Frequency uses a small electrical current emitted from a glass electrode filled with either an argon or neon (or both) gas resulting in different lights that can be used to treat different skin conditions. Most commonly, High Frequency is used post extraction in the treatment room to help expedite the healing of acne lesions, inflammation, and post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. There is no redness, sensitivity, or down time with this treatment

What is Oxygen Infusion Therapy?

Oxygen Infusion Therapy uses a pressurized pure oxygen to hydrate, nourish, and heal the skin. It is used in conjunction with highly concentrated serums targeted to your skin’s needs. The result is healthy, plumped, glowing skin. This treatment will do everything from helping to heal acne, decongest the pores, and plump fine lines and wrinkles. A staple in our treatment room!

Peels

We do offer a series of mild chemical peels to help aid in the treatment of acne, post inflammatory hyperpigmentation, acne scarring, premature aging, sun damage, and uneven tone and texture. These are not available to book through the website, but can be added on to any facial experience if found appropriate by your esthetician.
