After neutralizing the peel portion of the facial, the antioxidant and HA rich serum is generously applied throughout the face. There are several available upgrades such as nourishing boosters, light therapy, lymphatic drainage, as well as lip and eye treatments for an even more tailored visit.

With any exfoliating treatment, redness is to be expected and completely normal. The redness and some sensitivity can last 24-48 depending on your skin’s reactivity.
