How skin treatments work
Each treatment works at a different depth
Most skin concerns sit in one of four layers. The deeper a treatment reaches, the more it can change, and the more recovery it asks of you. So we start near the surface and only go deeper when your goal needs it.
The surface
Dead cells, fine facial hair and congestion. Dermaplaning and a HydraFacial clear this layer in one visit, with no downtime.
Pigment and redness
Sun spots sit in the top layer, and redness comes from small vessels just below it. IPL light and the VI Peel work on these over a short series.
Collagen
Texture, pores and shallow scars live in the dermis. Microneedling makes tiny channels that prompt new collagen over about three months.
Firmness
Laxity starts deeper. Morpheus8 delivers radiofrequency heat through fine needles, and Forma heats the same layer from the surface, with no needles.
Side by side

Where to start
Most plans build in three steps
You don't need to begin with the most intensive treatment. Each step is optional, and your provider will tell you when a simpler one will do.
Step 1 · From $150
Start at the surface
Dermaplaning or a HydraFacial, with no downtime. A low-key way to meet your esthetician and see how your skin responds.
Step 2 · From $347
Build collagen or clear spots
A short series of microneedling or IPL, about four weeks apart, for texture, scars, sun spots or redness.
Step 3 · From $799
Go deeper if you need it
Morpheus8 or Forma for firmness and deeper scars, once the surface is in good shape.
Prices are starting prices from our menu, and you can pay in 4 with Afterpay or Klarna. Your consult is free, and individual results vary.

Skin treatments: your questions, answered
Which skin treatment should I book first?
If you're new to us, start with a HydraFacial or dermaplaning. Both take under an hour, have no downtime and show how your skin responds. Your esthetician can then suggest whether a series of something stronger is worth it.
How much does a HydraFacial cost?
A HydraFacial starts at $299, with Deluxe at $350 and Platinum at $499. See the pricing page for every skin treatment.
What works best for sun spots?
IPL is our main treatment for sun spots and redness, usually 3 to 5 sessions about a month apart. We book it from October to April, because tanned skin and summer sun raise the risk of side effects.
Can I combine treatments?
Often, yes, in a planned order. We space the stronger treatments, like microneedling and Morpheus8, several weeks apart, and your provider maps out the order at your consult.
How much downtime should I expect?
Dermaplaning and HydraFacial have none. Microneedling leaves you pink for a day or two. Morpheus8 means 2 to 5 days of redness and tiny scabs, so plan it around your calendar.
