There are many factors that cause dry, flakey, easily irritated skin.  To best help you select a New Client 75-minute Signature Facial plus consultation.  The extra time will allow for additional treatment modalities that may include a 2nd hydrating mask, 20hz therapy, LED light therapy, or oxygenating treatment.

Once I know your concerns and watched how your skin interacted with my products, I’ll be able to advise on the frequency and length of future facial treatments.

Your best option is to schedule a consultation where we discuss your sensitivities and allergies and I’ll perform a skin analysis. 

Consultations are typically 30-minutes in length and include a skin analysis.

On the day of your consultation, come in with your skin cleansed and without makeup.  I’ll also ask you to complete a Facial Intake & Consent Form so I have as much information as possible to help you.

We will discuss what is currently occurring in your skin, your allergies, and I’ll let you know if I can help or if you’ll need to see a dermatologist.

Chemical peels are a nice exfoliation tool in the skin care world, and one of many methods I utilize.  

Before I say yes to a chemical peel:  We’ll discuss your current home care routine, use of SPF, and how your skin handles wounds.  I’ll also need to assess your skin and determine if a peel would benefit you or not. 

Typically your first facial will not include a peel because I’ll be watching how your skin interacts with products, including gentle exfoliation.  I have many methods of exfoliation in my toolkit and I’ll be sure to use the one that is best suited to your skin and needs.

For your first appointment, schedule a New Client 60-minute  or 75-minute facial with consultation.  

Stress affects our skin more than we realize, and having a relaxation goal is a great way to care for your skin – and your mind!

If you’re happy with your  current homecare products and you simply want to relax, skip the “new client” section and look under the “Personalized Facial Experiences” section.  For the ultimate in relaxation, the 90-minute Deluxe Signature facial is your best bet. 

A rough texture usually indicates a compromised barrier and we’ll need to work together to repair.  

The most common cause of roughness is using products not suited to your skin type. We’ve been taught that our skin should be “squeaky clean” and that just isn’t the case.  A healthy barrier is a fine layer of oil on your skin and two of its main functions are keeping the proper amount of water in your skin and supporting your immune system.  If your barrier is compromised it won’t matter how much water you drink in a day, your skin will be dehydrated.

The best way to set yourself up for success is to schedule a New Client Custom Facial plus Consultation and Homecare kit.  This will give you the home-care tools to heal your barrier quickly.

All of my facials are personalized to the person receiving them and the age of your skin is a factor in your treatment.  

Most teens do best with a 60-minute facial.  My facials include the face, neck, and décolleté areas. 

Prior to beginning a treatment, I demonstrate on myself the areas where I’ll be working and ask your teen for permission to work in all three areas.  If your teen is uncomfortable with the neck and/or décolleté areas being touched, I’ll modify the facial to only include areas with consent (face only or face and neck only).  

I ask that parents remain in the room during their child’s treatment. As the parent, if you are uncomfortable with the décolleté area being treated, please let me know.  Your comfort and your child’s comfort are the number one priority.  

I can help with some types of acne, but not all.

Cystic acne:  Requires a dermatologist.  With your dermatologist’s permission, I can provide support in calming inflammation and high frequency treatments to eliminate bacteria. However, cystic acne requires prescription products that only a dermatologist can provide.

Fungal acne:  Requires a dermatologist. Healing fungal acne requires prescription products that only a dermatologist can provide.

Grades I through IV acne: If you’re digging my vibe and want to work with me, I can certainly help.  However, you’ll be best served by a “Face Reality” trained esthetician.  Face Reality is a specialized acne training program and I’ve seen amazing results that my colleagues have shared. Search “Face Reality esthetician, Santa Rosa, CA.”

I can help with blackheads and clogged pores (often mistaken for blackheads). 

For your first appointment, schedule a New Client 75-minute facial.  It includes a consultation and the extra time will allow for extended time on performing extractions.  

For blackheads and clogged pores, 

I love removing the “overwhelm” from taking care of your skin.  

For your first appointment, schedule the New Client 60-minute facial plus consultation.  This will give us enough time to discuss what is happening with your skin and you’ll receive a deeply nourishing facial.  

Once I know your concerns and watched how your skin interacted with my products, I’ll be able to advise on the frequency and length of future facial treatments.

The DMK Enzyme treatment for Aging, Pigmentation, or Acne is a phenomenal treatment.

This treatment can be intense, from the warming enzyme exfoliant that uses cinnamon to increase heat in your skin, to the pumping action of the enzyme mask.  You must select the Deluxe Signature Facial 90-minute treatment to ensure enough time is available.  You’ll be resting a full 45-minutes while the mask sets up and it can take another 15-minutes for mask removal – but the results are worth it!

For best results, opt for taking home the after care products (30-day supply), an additional charge of $146+tax applies.
