Professional facials that leave your skin clearer, firmer and brighter, and a routine that keeps it that way. Every appointment starts with a licensed esthetician looking at your skin and choosing the treatment and professional-grade actives to match it. One hour of proper care, and you leave knowing exactly how to hold the results.

The menu
Your face is the most looked-at thing you own, and the one worth keeping in good condition. A facial is upkeep rather than a treat you book once, and it works as a rhythm. Most people book one treatment per appointment and come back monthly.
01
The basic facial, and the one we recommend to almost everybody. A deep clean with extractions that clears blocked pores and resets the skin. Book it monthly. If you are starting a routine, this is where it starts.
In this group
02
Dull, dry or tired skin that has not changed so much as faded. Antioxidants and vitamins, worked in under a mask. What to add once your skin is clear and you want it to look brighter.
In this group
03
For visible lines and wrinkles. Four routes to the same goal, and which one suits you depends on how dry or how reactive your skin is. Sensitive skin has its own option here.
In this group
04
Sun damage, dark patches and uneven tone. The most active treatments on the menu, and the two that need a conversation about your skin history first.
In this group
Booking the eye area on its own? Eye Perfection is $130 for 60 min and treats only around the eyes. It sits outside the four groups because it targets one area rather than the whole face.
The basic facial, and the one we recommend to almost everybody. A deep clean with extractions that clears congestion, blackheads and the build-up a cleanser cannot reach. If you are starting a skin care routine from scratch, start here and come back monthly. Everything else on this list works better on skin that is already clear.
Cell renewal. Encourages the skin to turn over faster, which softens fine lines and leaves the surface smoother and more even. A natural second step once your skin is clear and you want to start correcting rather than maintaining.
Antioxidant protection against the everyday damage that ages skin early. Sun, pollution, late nights. This one is about slowing what is coming rather than fixing what is already there, so it suits skin in its 20s and 30s.
Hydration and firming together. Plumps skin that has gone flat, slack or tired, and gives the most visible same-day result on this menu. That makes it the one to book a day or two before an event.
A full anti-aging treatment built for reactive skin. If strong products usually leave you red, tight or stinging, this is the anti-aging route that will not. Tell us what your skin reacts to and we will adjust before we start.
For dark patches, sun spots and uneven tone. Pigment lifts gradually rather than in one visit, so treat this as a course of appointments rather than a one-off. Staying out of strong sun between visits is what makes it work.
The eye area only, not the whole face. Puffiness, dark circles and the fine lines that always show up there first. The skin around your eyes is the thinnest on your body, which is why it needs its own treatment rather than a stronger one.
A vitamin boost for skin that has gone dull and grey rather than lined. Brings color and life back without doing anything aggressive. A good choice if your skin is not exactly a problem, it just does not look like you.
The richest treatment on the menu. Deep nourishment for skin that is dry as well as aging, the kind that feels tight by mid-afternoon. Suits winter skin, and anyone who finds lighter facials do not hold.
The most active treatment here and the only one that runs 90 minutes. A chemical peel that resurfaces the top layer to work on sun damage, rough texture and uneven tone. Expect some flaking for a few days afterwards, so do not book it the week of an event, and keep it out of strong sun.
While you are here
Yes, on the same day. A facial treats the whole face, and brows and lashes are the two things people actually look at on it. Booked back to back, the second service adds 10 minutes rather than a second trip. This is the visit to book when you want the whole thing done properly.
Brow shaping is what most people know us for, and 15 minutes on top of a facial is the easiest add there is. Have the brows done first, before your skin is exfoliated.
A lift and tint pairs with any facial on this page. Extensions are the one thing that does not, because steam and oil break the bond. If you wear them, say so when you book and we will keep the eye area dry.
Two things worth knowing
Brows and lashes first, facial second. Same visit, just that order. Waxing lifts the top layer of skin and so does a facial, so doing the wax first keeps the exfoliation in one place. We sequence it for you when you book both.
The peel is the one exception. Expert Derma Peel resurfaces the whole face, so we keep waxing off it that day. Book the brows a week either side. Every other facial here pairs fine.
Already wearing lash extensions? Any facial here still works. We keep steam and oil-based products away from the eye area, which rules out Eye Perfection until the set grows out.
One hour, 6 stages. The middle of it changes with the treatment. The shape of it does not.
Before you start 10 min early on your first visit
A one-time consent and intake form, then your skin is analysed and the treatment is chosen with you. If you have been using retinol, acids or anything prescribed, say so here. It changes what we can do that day.
Cleansing 5 min
Makeup and the day come off first. Nothing works through a barrier.
Exfoliation 10 to 15 min
Dead surface skin is lifted, with extractions if your skin needs them. This is the stage that varies most between people.
Toning and massage 10 min
A relaxing facial massage that also moves circulation. The part everyone remembers.
Ampoule or serum 10 min
This is the treatment itself. The active is chosen for your concern and worked into skin that is now ready to take it.
Mask, then finish 15 min, then 5
A mask to seal the work in, then a cream or serum to close. You leave with a note on what to use at home and a suggested date to come back.
Come with a bare face if you can. It is not required, but it buys you back a few minutes of treatment time.
Arrive 10 minutes early the first time. The intake form is short but it is the thing that decides which treatment you get.
Tell us everything you are using on your skin, prescription included. Actives at home change what is safe in the chair.
Do not have the brows waxed after the facial. Same visit is fine, but wax first. Skin that has just been exfoliated does not want to be waxed.
No sunbed or heavy sun exposure straight after a peel. Fresh skin burns faster than you expect.
Do not pick at anything afterwards. Extractions settle on their own within a day or two.
If you are not sure, book Purifying. It is the basic facial, it suits almost everybody, and it is the right first appointment for anyone starting a skin care routine. Everything else works better on skin that has been cleared first. Whatever you book, we look at your skin before we start and will tell you if something else suits you better.
One hour for every treatment except the Expert Derma Peel, which is 1 hour 30. If you are booking a facial and a wax in the same visit, add 10 minutes.
Yes, and it is the most common way people book. A second service back to back adds 10 minutes to the appointment. Have the brows waxed before the facial rather than after. The exceptions are the Expert Derma Peel, which we will not pair with waxing on the same face on the same day, and Eye Perfection if you are wearing lash extensions.
Every session ends with a suggested date, based on what your skin did rather than a fixed rule. As a starting point most skin responds to a facial every 4 to 6 weeks, which is the same cycle as a wax appointment.
Not for the facials in groups 01 to 03. The Expert Derma Peel is the one to plan around. Expect some flaking for a few days and keep it out of strong sun, so do not book it the week of an event.
Age Defense is built for it, and it is $125 for 60 min. Tell us at the intake stage what your skin reacts to and we will work from there.
Facials are priced per session. If we add a package or a course rate, it will appear on this page.
