FAQS

• What does the treatment involve?

  Here's a breakdown of your treatment, outlining each step so you know what to expect during your session:
  
  Double Cleanse and Steam: We’ll start with a thorough cleansing of your skin, tailored specifically to your skin type, followed by a warming steam to open your pores.
  
  Exfoliating Caviar Lime Mask: This mask will be applied and left to work for approximately 5 minutes, covered with a hot towel to gently lift dead skin cells and enhance exfoliation.
  
  Lymphatic Facial Massage: A relaxing lymphatic facial massage will be performed to boost circulation and promote lymphatic drainage, helping to relax both the skin and Firming
  
  Peptide Mask: We will then apply a firming peptide mask in multiple layers, which begins to tighten your skin as it sets for a rejuvenating effect.
  
  Dermalux LED Treatment: While the mask is on, a Dermalux LED device will be placed above your skin, utilising various wavelengths to enhance hydration, brighten the complexion, promote circulation, combat ageing, and stimulate collagen production.
  
  Mask Removal: After 15 minutes, the mask will be gently removed using a blend of snow algae and lipid foaming cleanser, along with heated towels for a soothing finish.

• How many sessions will I need?

  This facial can be enjoyed every 4 to 6 weeks, making it the perfect choice before an event, special occasion, or anytime you want to look your absolute best.

• Is the facial painful?

  You won't feel any pain during this facial, although the mask may feel tight as it begins the rejuvenating process, resulting in a firmer, lifted, and plump appearance.

• When is best to have this particular facial?

  We suggest experiencing this facial prior to any special events, including weddings, birthday parties, and Christmas gatherings. It's the perfect choice for occasions when you want to look and feel your best. We recommend scheduling your appointment 1 to 5 days before the event.

• What are those red markings on the skin which look like veins?

  The red vascular markings or veins that may become more prominent after using the Circadia Firming Facial Mask are typically a normal vascular response. This reaction occurs as part of the skin's natural process when it is subjected to certain treatments. When the mask is applied, its active ingredients can stimulate circulation, leading to increased blood flow in the treated area. This enhanced vascular response can cause temporary redness, which is usually referred to as erythema. This phenomenon can actually indicate that the skin is responding positively to the treatment. Increased blood flow can deliver more oxygen and nutrients to the skin, promoting cell regeneration, enhancing elasticity, and providing a healthy, youthful appearance. In many cases, this response is short-lived, and the redness should subside soon after the treatment. Overall, while the temporary vascular markings might be visually noticeable, they are generally a sign of the skin's activation and rejuvenation process, reflecting the positive benefits of the Circadia Firming Facial Mask.
