You will see your skin glow right away! One Hydrafacial treatment per month is recommended to achieve more advanced results addressing core skin concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, brown spots, acne, and dehydrated skin.

How often should I get each treatment?
Most clients benefit from a facial every 4โ6 weeks, which matches the natural skin renewal cycle.
Treatments like HydraFacial are ideal for monthly maintenance, while corrective treatments like peels may be recommended in a series.
For Dermaplaning, every 4โ6 weeks is ideal to maintain a consistently smooth, radiant complexion

Will dermaplaning make my hair grow back thicker?

If your wedding is sooner, Martina can recommend a customized treatment plan to help your skin look its best.
