Anti-Aging Firming Facial care in brief: before your visit, arrive with clean skin, skip strong acids and retinol for 1–2 days and avoid heavy sun for 24–48 hours; afterward, wear SPF daily, skip heavy makeup for 24 hours, avoid heat (sauna, hot yoga, hot showers) for 24–48 hours and hold strong actives for 1–2 days. There is no downtime — a warm, flushed glow settles within hours. The 75-minute facial ($175) uses thermal ultrasound, high-frequency current and a peptide mask at Lumina Skin Sanctuary, 7940 Dani Dr, Suite 135, Room 209, Fort Myers, FL 33966, Mon–Sat 10 AM–7 PM.

Anti-Aging Firming Facial
Firms, lifts and smooths with thermal ultrasound and high-frequency current.
🧴Your visit, step by step · what's included
- 1Consultation and skin analysis — we evaluate tone, elasticity and lines so the firming work is focused exactly where your skin is softening
- 2Deep cleanse and exfoliation — clean, freshly exfoliated skin lets the firming technology and actives reach where they work best
- 3Thermal ultrasound to firm and lift — gentle heat delivered deep into the skin stimulates collagen and elastin, the fibers responsible for firmness and lift
- 4High-frequency current — oxygenating current boosts circulation and cellular energy, leaving skin toned, revitalized and glowing
- 5A firming, peptide-rich mask — peptides signal the skin to support its own collagen while the mask visibly tightens and smooths
- 6Targeted serums, hydration and SPF — age-defense actives are layered and sealed with sunscreen, protecting the collagen you just invested in
✦Benefits to expect

Anti-Aging Firming Facial care — frequently asked questions
How should I prepare for an Anti-Aging Firming Facial?
Arrive with clean, ideally makeup-free skin and come 5–10 minutes early for your consultation. Skip strong exfoliating acids and retinol for 1–2 days, avoid heavy sun exposure or tanning for 24–48 hours, come hydrated, and tell your esthetician about any medications, allergies or skin conditions. Because the facial uses thermal ultrasound and high-frequency current, mention pacemakers, metal implants or pregnancy so we can tailor safely.
Is there any downtime after the Anti-Aging Firming Facial?
No. Skin typically looks flushed, lifted and radiant right after and feels warm and “worked” from the ultrasound, like a workout for your face; that settles within a few hours. You can return to work or go out the same day. We suggest skipping heavy makeup for about 24 hours and avoiding heat — sauna, hot yoga, hot showers — for 24–48 hours so the skin stays calm.
What should I avoid after a firming facial?
For 24–48 hours avoid direct sun, heat, heavy makeup, and picking or aggressive scrubbing. Hold strong actives such as retinol, exfoliating acids and at-home peptides for 1–2 days, then reintroduce slowly. Do wear broad-spectrum SPF 30+ every morning — essential in Fort Myers, and the best way to protect the collagen you just invested in — and keep skin hydrated with a gentle moisturizer.
How often should I get an Anti-Aging Firming Facial for visible results?
Every 2–4 weeks so firming builds session over session. Day 1 brings a temporary tightening and glow; firmness quietly builds over the first week as collagen production ramps up; and across a 6-visit series, jawline and cheek definition improve visibly. Results are cosmetic and cumulative, not permanent, so a monthly rhythm maintains them. Packages save 20%, and Glow ($69/mo), Radiance ($139/mo) and Luxe ($169/mo) memberships make it easy.
How much does the Anti-Aging Firming Facial cost and how long does it take?
The Anti-Aging Firming Facial is 75 minutes for $175 and includes consultation, deep cleanse and exfoliation, thermal ultrasound, high-frequency current, a firming peptide mask, targeted serums, hydration and SPF. Optional boosters are Galvanic Current ($35), Pore Vacuum & Atomizer ($35) and High-Frequency ($25).

Is this a non-invasive alternative to injectables, lasers or peels in Fort Myers?
Yes — and it is important to be clear about what it is. Lumina is a licensed-esthetician studio, not a medical spa: we do not offer injectables, lasers, microneedling, chemical peels or LED. The Anti-Aging Firming Facial uses thermal ultrasound, high-frequency current and peptides for a needle-free, no-downtime lift with cosmetic, temporary results. If you want medical procedures, see a dermatologist or medical provider; many clients pair both.
When should I contact Lumina after my facial?
Reach out if redness or warmth lasts more than 24 hours, if there is tenderness along the jaw or cheeks that does not fade in a day, or if you have questions about timing home peptides or retinol around your series — we will map it for you. Anything that worries you, even a little: reply to your confirmation email or message us online. We would always rather hear from you.
