Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Essential Facial?
Formerly known as The Ultimate Modern Facial, this is the facial that won’t leave your skin blotchy and red. It does not consist of any manual pricking; instead, an innovative machine is used to chemically exfoliate the skin to allow for easier extractions.
Also known as hydradermabrasion, it is a mild skin resurfacing treatment using physical and chemical exfoliation to slough off the dead skin cells on the uppermost layer of the skin to bring about younger looking skin.
What can the Essential Facial do for me?
- Skin is thoroughly hydrated and infused with various antioxidants and your suggested serum.
- Skin is clear of any dead skin cells, evident blackheads, excess sebum and oil.
- New skin will regenerate at a faster rate, revealing less pigmentation and congestion.
Does it tighten the pores?
It gives the appearance of tighter pores, but our recommended treatment for shrinking pores is our Lift + Restore Ritual which consists of an ablative and non-ablative laser.
Does it treat deep scars?
It does not-- only our Pore-Refining Ritual can do that ;)
Can I have a the Essential Facial if I currently have cystic acne?
Yes. We can control the facial process to fit your current skin concerns, but we still highly suggest consulting with our skin therapists first. Also, when the Essential Facial is done at regular intervals, it can help dry up pimples, and lessen breakouts.
For what skin type is the Essential Facial best for?
Our Essential Facial is suitable for all skin types, even for those with sensitive skin. It is a great treatment, regardless if you are a skincare newbie, skincare explorer, or skincare enthusiast. This is because our skin therapists are skilled in customizing the facial process to personalize it depending on what your skin needs the most (and needs to avoid) in that moment.
What service/s can I avail of along with The Essential Facial?
Quick Essential Facial + Pore-Refining Ritual = an even more glowing and smoother skin, free from skin texture, acne marks and fine lines
Quick Essential Facial + Clear + Lift Ritual = refreshed skin with reduced appearance of pores, fine lines, wrinkles.
How long will the treatment be?

24 hours:

How will my skin look like after the treatment?
Glowing, of course! But please take note of these:

5 hours:
- Avoid washing the area for 5 hours after the treatment
1 hour:
- Avoid exposure to sunlight and pollutants, use a sunscreen with at least SPF 30
Is it okay to wear makeup right after?
Yes, you can! But we recommend taking advantage of the refreshed, natural glow effect of the Essential Facial, so it's best to go bare.
When should I repeat the treatment for maximum results?
The Essential Facial recommended interval is every 2 weeks. For those with sensitive skin, the recommended interval is every 4 weeks.
Will one session be enough to achieve youthful looking skin?
Facials don’t deliver groundbreaking results overnight. Yes, one session will give you an immediate glow, but maintaining that glowing and youthful skin requires an appropriate and complementing skincare ritual and regular sessions!
