Frequently Asked Questions

At Deluxe Esthetics, every facial is completely customized to your unique skin needs. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all treatments. I specialize in Circadia professional skincare, which is formulated based on chronobiology - the science of how your skin functions differently throughout the day. This means I'm not just applying products; I'm working with your skin's natural rhythms to achieve real, lasting results. Plus, as a licensed esthetician who exclusively uses professional-grade products, I bring both expertise and a genuine passion for skin health to every appointment.

Procell microchanneling is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that creates thousands of microscopic channels in the skin to stimulate your body's natural healing response and boost collagen production. Unlike traditional microneedling, Procell uses a stamping motion (rather than dragging) for more precise, comfortable treatments with better results and less trauma to the skin. It's incredibly effective for reducing fine lines, acne scars, hyperpigmentation and overall skin texture. The treatment includes specialized serums packed with growth factors and dna repair enzymes that penetrate deeply through those microchannels for maximum effectiveness.

For most clients, I recommend facials every 4-6 weeks to align with your skin's natural cell turnover cycle (which takes about 28 days, though this slows as we age). If you're addressing specific concerns like acne, hyperpigmentation or anti-aging, more frequent visits initially - every 3-4 weeks - can accelerate results. That said, consistency matters more than frequency. Regular facials combined with a solid home care routine using professional products will always outperform sporadic treatments, no matter how expensive.

Great question! Here's a quick guide, though I always recommend a consultation to customize your plan:

• Fine lines, wrinkles, firmness: Procell microchanneling is phenomenal, especially when combined with Circadia's peptide-rich serums. The Luxe Lift Facial works wonders for aging skin!
• Acne and breakouts: Customized facials with Circadia's clarifying ingredients and sometimes a series of chemical peels. The Clarifying Facial is a great place to start. The Oxygen Rx treatment is also fantastic at treating acne.
• Hyperpigmentation, dark spots, melasma: A combination approach with brightening facials, targeted serums like Vitamin C Reversal Serum and possibly microchanneling. The Triple Berry Brightening Facial provides instant brightening and hydration.
• Dryness and sensitivity: Hydrating, barrier-repairing facials with Circadia's lipid-rich formulas. The Marshmallow Whip Hydrating Facial feels amazing!
• Anti-aging and prevention: Regular facials plus powerhouse products like Serum 71 and Nighttime Repair. The Circadian Rhythm Balancing Facial and the Dream Facial are both great options to start with.

Circadia is professional skincare formulated on the science of circadian rhythms. Your skin actually functions differently during the day versus at night. During the day, your skin is in protection mode, defending against environmental stressors like UV rays and pollution. At night, it shifts into repair and renewal mode. Circadia products are specifically designed to support these natural rhythms with targeted ingredients at optimal concentrations that you simply can't get in retail products.

The difference in formulation quality, ingredient purity, penetration technology and concentration is significant. These products are designed to be dispensed by licensed professionals who understand skin physiology - not marketed to the masses with pretty packaging (but Circadia also happens to have pretty packaging).

In most cases, yes, though I'll want to review what you're currently using to ensure there are no conflicts. Some active ingredients shouldn't be layered together and sometimes less is actually more when you're using professional-grade formulations. During your facial or consultation, we'll discuss your current routine and I can recommend how to integrate Circadia products effectively - or create an entirely new routine if you're ready for a complete upgrade.

You don't need to buy anything - I'll never pressure you into purchases. However, I'll be honest: facials give you an incredible boost, but what you do at home during the other 364 days of the year matters enormously. Think of it this way: I can deep-clean, exfoliate and infuse your skin with incredible active ingredients during your facial, but if you're not supporting that work at home with quality products, you're only getting a fraction of the possible results.

That said, you don't need a 10-step routine or every product on the shelf. I typically recommend starting with 3-4 key products that address your specific concerns and we can build from there if you want to. Many of my clients see such dramatic results from professional products that they end up replacing their entire routine - but that's always their choice.

Yes! I carry the full Circadia line and can ship products directly to you. You can also purchase products during your appointment. Some of my bestsellers include Serum 71, Nighttime Repair, Vitamin C Reversal Serum and Lipid Replacing Cleansing Gel. I'm always happy to answer questions about products and help you make the right choices for your skin. Click HERE to shop online.

I understand that life happens! I just ask for at least 24 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. This allows me to offer that time slot to another client.

Come with clean skin if possible (no makeup is ideal, but I can remove it if needed). Avoid harsh exfoliation or any new active ingredients for 2-3 days before your appointment so your skin isn't irritated. If you're getting microchanneling, I'll provide specific pre-treatment instructions, which include avoiding retinoids, certain actives and injectables for several days beforehand. Most importantly, come ready to relax and let me take care of you!

Most clients notice immediate improvements after a facial - your skin will look brighter, feel smoother and have a healthy glow. With microchanneling, you might experience some redness immediately after (like a mild sunburn), but within 24-48 hours you'll start seeing that glow, with continued improvements over the following weeks as collagen production ramps up. Long-term results from both facials and microchanneling build with consistent treatments and proper home care.

After a customized facial, there's zero downtime - you can go straight back to your day looking refreshed and glowing. After Procell microchanneling, expect some redness for 12-24 hours (similar to a sunburn), but downtime is minimal. I provide complete aftercare instructions for all treatments, and I'm always available if you have questions during your healing process.

After a regular facial, just avoid heavy exercise and excessive heat (saunas, hot yoga) for the rest of the day to let your skin absorb all those beautiful products. After microchanneling, you'll avoid makeup, active ingredients, direct sun exposure and sweating for the first 12-24 hours. I'll give you detailed aftercare instructions specific to your treatment, plus recommended products to support healing and maximize results.
