Who is the Gentle First Visit Journey for?
- First-timers who have never had a professional facial and want to know exactly what to expect.
- Easily irritated or sensitive skin that has reacted to strong treatments or products before.
- Anyone nervous about extractions or a rushed appointment. Stronger steps are optional here.
- People unsure what their skin needs, or returning to facials after a long break.
What happens during your first visit?
- Welcome and skin consultation. You share what you use now, how your skin feels and what it reacts to. Your esthetician looks closely and explains what she sees in plain language.
- Gentle double cleanse. A soft first cleanse lifts sunscreen, makeup and the day, then a second cleanse matched to your skin leaves it fresh without feeling stripped.
- Hydrating mask and serums. A calming, moisture-focused mask and serums chosen for your skin that day, applied slowly.
- Optional extras. Want extractions or another stronger step? We can add it. If not, we simply skip it.
- Moisturizer, SPF and your written plan. We seal in hydration, finish with broad-spectrum sun protection and send you home with aftercare and a recommended next visit.

First facial FAQ
How much does a first facial cost in Fort Myers?
The Gentle First Visit Facial at Lumina Skin Sanctuary costs $85 for 60 minutes, and it includes your skin consultation, a gentle double cleanse, a hydrating mask, moisturizer, SPF and a written aftercare plan. First-time customers get a 20% discount — use the code WELCOME20 at checkout, which brings the visit to $68 before tax. Sales tax applies at checkout.
What happens at a first facial, and does it hurt?
Your licensed esthetician starts with a conversation about your skin, then does a gentle double cleanse, a hydrating mask and serums, moisturizer and SPF. The pace is low-intensity and unhurried, so the visit should feel calm and comfortable. Stronger steps such as extractions are offered only if you want them, and you can say stop, slower or skip at any point.
Is this facial okay for sensitive skin or if I have never had a facial?
Yes. The Gentle First Visit Facial was designed for first-timers and for skin that is easily irritated. Your esthetician asks about what you use now, what your skin reacts to and your goals before choosing products, and nothing is added without asking. If you take prescription skin medication or have a known skin condition, mention it at booking so your visit is planned safely.
Will my skin be red or need downtime afterward?
There is no planned downtime. Because the visit is gentle and hydration-focused, most people leave looking fresh and can go straight back to their day. Individual skin reacts differently, so you will get simple aftercare in writing: keep skin hydrated, wear broad-spectrum SPF every day in Florida, and avoid heat such as hot showers or hot yoga for the first day or so.
What should I do after my first visit?
You leave with a written aftercare plan and an honest recommendation for your next step. For many people that is a monthly facial such as the Signature Glow Facial, a Barrier Reset Series if skin feels tight or reactive, or a Beginner Routine Consult if the home routine is the real question. There is no pressure to buy anything extra.
