 The best facial depends on your skin goals and current condition.

  • For hydration and glow: Customized Facial or Hydrodermabrasion
  • For acne and breakouts: Acne-focused facial treatments
  • For acne scars, fine lines, or deeper texture: Procell Microchanneling

If you’re unsure, start with a customized facial and we’ll create a plan for your skin.


 Hydrodermabrasion is one of the best options for sensitive or dry skin because it exfoliates while infusing hydration.

It leaves your skin smooth, refreshed, and glowing without harsh irritation, making it ideal for clients who want results without downtime.


 Yes. Procell Microchanneling is designed to improve acne scars, fine lines, and uneven texture by stimulating collagen production.

It works below the surface of the skin to support long-term improvement rather than temporary results




 The best facial depends on your skin goals, sensitivity, and current condition.

The goal is always to improve your skin without causing irritation or damage.

 Hydrodermabrasion is a treatment that exfoliates and hydrates at the same time.

What Happens:

  • Removes dead skin buildup
  • Infuses hydration and nutrients
  • Improves skin texture and glow
  • Is gentle enough for sensitive skin


This is one of the best treatments for dry, dull, or congested skin.


 This treatment is ideal if you:

  • Have dry or dehydrated skin
  • Want glowing skin without irritation
  • Have sensitive skin but still need exfoliation
  • Want immediate visible results


 It depends on your skin.


Hydrodermabrasion:

  • More gentle
  • Hydrating
  • Better for sensitive or aging skin


Microdermabrasion:

  • Stronger exfoliation
  • Better for thicker or more textured skin


Your treatment will be chosen based on what your skin needs.


Yes. Acne treatments focus on:

  • Clearing clogged pores
  • Reducing inflammation
  • Supporting healing
  • Preventing future breakouts


For acne scarring or deeper texture, Procell Microchanneling may be recommended.




Procell Microchanneling is an advanced treatment that stimulates your skin to repair itself.


It creates tiny microchannels in the skin, helping your body produce more collagen and elastin.


This improves:

  • Acne scars
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Sun damage
  • Skin texture


 Yes. This is one of the most effective treatments for acne scars because it helps rebuild the skin over time. 


 Procell Microchanneling uses a stamping method instead of dragging needles across the skin.

This results in:

  • Less irritation
  • More controlled treatment
  • Faster healing
  • More even results


 A numbing cream is used, and most clients describe it as mild discomfort.  


 You may experience:

  • Redness for 24 to 48 hours
  • Slight sensitivity


Most clients return to normal activities quickly.


 You may see improvement after one treatment, but most clients need:


  • 3 to 6 sessions spaced about a month apart (Discounted packages available)
