🧴Your visit, step by step · what's included
- 1Quick cleanse and prep — an efficient professional cleanse readies your skin so every minute of this express treatment counts
- 2Ultrasonic polishing — a gentle ultrasonic spatula vibrates away dead cells and loosens debris from pores, smoothing and decongesting without irritation

⏱️Downtime
None. Designed to fit into a busy day — you can return to work or an event immediately.
🔁Time between visits
Every 2–4 weeks, or any time you need a quick glow.
📋Before your visit
- Arrive with clean skin if you can, and come 5–10 minutes early for your consultation.
- Skip strong exfoliating acids and retinol for 1–2 days beforehand.
- Avoid heavy sun exposure or tanning for 24–48 hours before.
- Tell us about any medications, allergies or skin conditions so we can tailor safely.
- Come hydrated and, ideally, makeup-free.
🧖After your visit
- Wear SPF daily and avoid direct sun — essential in the Florida climate.
- Skip heavy makeup for about 24 hours.
- Avoid heat — sauna, hot yoga, hot showers — for 24–48 hours.
- Hold off on strong actives (retinol, acids) for 1–2 days.
- Keep skin hydrated and be gentle — no picking or aggressive scrubbing.
🕐The first 24 hours — what to expect
- 1Right after — Plump, dewy skin immediately — this is the one to book before an event.
- 2This evening — Let the hydration keep working: no exfoliants, no masks, just your moisturizer if needed.
- 3Tomorrow morning — Makeup goes on noticeably smoother over freshly hydrated skin.
🏠Caring for your skin between visits
- Cleanse gently morning and night with a barrier-friendly cleanser.
- Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ every morning, rain or shine.
- Hydrate with a moisturizer suited to your skin type; add hyaluronic acid if dry.
- Introduce actives slowly and only as your esthetician recommends.
