Your first appointment begins with a consultation — because picking a facial from a menu without understanding your skin can sometimes do more harm than good, especially if your barrier is compromised or you're using actives like Retin-A or Accutane.

Here's what we'll cover:

• Skin analysis. Using professional lighting and a magnifying lamp, we'll assess your pore size, hydration levels, sun damage, and any redness or sensitivity.
• Product audit. We'll talk through what you're currently using at home — feel free to snap a photo of your bathroom shelf. We want your professional treatment to work with your daily routine, not against it.
• Lifestyle check. Diet, stress, and sleep all show up on your skin. Understanding your lifestyle helps us determine whether your concerns are hormonal, environmental, or product-related.
• Goal setting. Whether you want to clear breakouts, soften fine lines, or just decompress, we'll match you with the treatment that will actually get you there.

We offer a range of non-invasive, results-driven treatments targeting specific concerns like fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and acne scarring — and yes, that includes sensitive and reactive skin. We never take a one-size-fits-all approach, especially when your barrier is delicate. Every treatment is customized to what your skin actually needs that day.

Our advanced services include:

• Microdermabrasion. A "power exfoliation" using a diamond-tipped wand to gently remove dead skin cells, smooth texture, and help your skincare products absorb more effectively.
• Chemical peels. From no-downtime Glow peels to deeper corrective peels, we use specialized acids to dissolve the bond holding dead skin together — revealing brighter, more even-toned skin underneath.
• Nano-infusion. A needle-free alternative to microneedling. Microscopic silicone tips create thousands of invisible channels to deliver high-grade serums like Vitamin C or Hyaluronic Acid exactly where they're needed most.
• LED light therapy. NASA-inspired technology that uses specific wavelengths of light to calm, heal, and strengthen the skin.

Not sure which treatment is right for you? That's exactly what your consultation is for.

Yes. We provide specialized facial treatments for clients undergoing or recovering from cancer treatment, and our approach is specifically trained for oncology care.

Chemotherapy, radiation, and targeted therapies can take a significant toll on the skin — extreme dryness, photosensitivity, chemo-rash, and heightened reactivity are all common. Standard facials are not always appropriate during this time, and we know that.

Our goal is to provide a safe, gentle, restorative experience that focuses on soothing, hydrating, and protecting your skin — wherever you are in your medical journey. You deserve care that meets you where you are.

We're selective about what goes on your skin. Our treatment room is anchored by Circadia by Dr. Pugliese — a professional-grade line that combines pure botanicals, stem cells, and second-generation vitamins with the science of the body's natural circadian rhythms.

Our featured brands:

• Circadia (primary line). Formulated to protect skin from environmental damage during the day and stimulate internal repair at night. Paraben-free and designed to deliver clinical results without unnecessary irritation.
• Esthemax Hydrojelly™ Masks.  These electrolyte-infused masks create a vacuum-like seal over the skin, driving nutrients deep into the pores while delivering a cooling, soothing finish.
• Curated specialty brands. Because no two skin types are the same, we also carry a rotating selection of specialized products for specific concerns — including oncology skincare, severe acne, and advanced chemical peeling.

Why professional products matter: Unlike drugstore options, professional-grade skincare contains higher concentrations of active ingredients with smaller molecular structures that can actually penetrate the skin barrier to create lasting change.

Want to take the results home? We carry a curated selection of Circadia retail products so you can maintain your post-facial glow and keep progressing between appointments.
