Frequently Asked Facial Questions
The amount of times you receive a facial will depend on a variety of factors, including your current skin condition. We typically recommend scheduling a facial every three to four weeks, but the Halcyon estheticians will develop a treatment plan based on your specific needs.
At Halcyon, we understand that no two skin types are the same. For this reason, we’ll perform a FREE in-depth skin analysis, using our Visia Skin Imaging device, to determine which facial treatment is right for you.
Our team of estheticians has put together a comprehensive facial menu to address a variety of skin concerns. We have everything from anti-aging facials and dermaplane facials to teen facials and gentleman facials.
Each option is designed to target specific trouble points within the skin, whether that be wrinkles and fine lines, oily pores, or dead skin cells.
HydraFacial Questions
HydraFacials are a more advanced facial treatment that penetrates deeper and more accurately into the skin. Using a non-invasive applicator, we’re able to cleanse, exfoliate, extract, hydrate, and nourish the skin within a 45-minute session. The applicator removes dead skin cells and exfoliates the face, while the suction attachment removes oils and toxins from deep within your pores. We’ll finalize the treatment using ultrasound to drive absorbtion of serums deep beyond the skins surface; sealing in hydration.
Not at all. You may experience slight redness in the treated area, but that will subside within a day or two. In order to ensure you receive the best results possible, we recommend avoiding wearing makeup and participating in activities that result in excessive sweating for 24 hours.
The Halcyon Mind+Body estheticians will walk you through any aftercare instructions and answer any questions you may have post-HydraFacial.
The HydraFacial provides comprehensive benefits to a plethora of skin concerns, including:
- Oily and congested skin
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Dry skin
- Hyperpigmentation
- Sun damage
- Uneven skin texture
- Rosacea
- And more!
Chemical Peel Questions
A chemical peel comes in three different intensities—superficial, medium, and deep—and aims to encourage healthy skin cell growth for a radiant glow. The chemical solution is applied to the skin using a brush or cotton ball, causing the skin to turn white. After about a week post-chemical peel, your skin will start flaking and peeling, revealing a brighter complexion.
Chemical peels are a mild solution, so you may feel a slight tingling on the skin as it’s applied. But other than that, you shouldn’t experience any discomfort once the chemical peel session is complete. If you have concerns about your results, please contact the Halcyon professionals.
Unfortunately not. Over time, age and new sun damage can lead to new lines and skin discoloration, so you will need to receive a chemical peel treatment every few months. For those who receive a light chemical peel, you can schedule a session once a month. Individuals who opt for a more intense peel should wait four to six months.
RF Microneedling Questions
While similar, RF microneedling takes things further than traditional microneedling. During a microneedling session, tiny channels are created in the skin to stimulate the body’s natural healing response. In contrast, RF microneedling combines the power of radiofrequency and micro-channels to target deeper layers of the skin for a tighter, smoother complexion.
As your body responds to treatment and more collagen and elastin are created, you’ll begin to see visible results in the tightness of your skin. Additionally, RF microneedling can reduce scars, diminish wrinkles and fine lines, and improve the overall texture of your skin.
RF microneedling results can last anywhere from six months to one year, depending on your current skin condition and your body’s ability to heal. The Halcyon estheticians will work with you to develop a customized treatment plan to provide you with optimal results.
Botox & Dermal Filler Questions
While they’re both injectable treatments, Botox and dermal fillers are very different. Botox minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by “freezing” the facial muscles from making defined expressions. Dermal fillers, on the other hand, add fullness to areas that have thinned due to aging—cheeks, lips, and around the mouth.
At Halcyon Mind+Body, we’re always looking for new innovations in beauty to provide you with glowing results. We currently offer two of the most popular dermal fillers on the market, Juvéderm and Restylane. Both are hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers that provide immediate results upon injection. Contact us today to discuss which dermal filler is right for you.
Yes, Botox has been known to be a reliable course of action for treating chronic migraines. The injectable blocks nerve signals sent to the facial muscles, but it also can be applied to block sensations of pain from traveling through nerve endings. If you’re struggling with chronic migraines and are looking for an effective management treatment, contact Halcyon today to schedule a Botox appointment.
Laser Treatment Questions
The results of a laser hair removal treatment will vary from person to person, but you should begin to notice diminished hair growth right away. After your first session, hair will begin to grow back finer and lighter, making it less noticeable. In order to see permanent and drastic results, two to ten sessions of laser hair removal may be required, depending on the area being treated.
IPL therapy is a non-invasive treatment designed to improve the color and texture of your skin. Using light energy to target certain areas of the body, IPL is able to encourage collagen production, diminish hyperpigmentation, tighten facial skin, and much more.
Laser skin resurfacing can assist in treating a variety of conditions and concerns, including:
- Age and sun spots
- Loose or sagging skin
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Hyperpigmentation
- Rosacea
- Appearance of broken blood vessels
Lip Filler Questions
No, lip fillers require maintenance appointments to sustain results. Because lip fillers contain ingredients that are naturally found in the body, the contents of the filler will eventually be broken down, requiring another appointment. On average, you can expect your lip fillers to last anywhere from 12 to 18 months.
Lip fillers are injectable, so those who aren’t a fan of needles may not enjoy the experience as much as others. But don’t worry; you’re in good hands at Halcyon Mind+Body. We’ll apply a mild numbing cream to the area before injecting the lip filler to make sure the process is as painless as possible.
After your treatment, you feel some mild discomfort or soreness, along with slight swelling. This will subside within 24 hours and can be managed by applying ice periodically to the injection site.
Depending on how thin your lips are and how full you want them to be, clients typically receive one or two syringes of lip filler. Each syringe has 1.0 cc of dermal filler (about one-fifth of a teaspoon). The Halcyon Mind+Body estheticians will discuss with you the proper amount of filler for your desired results.
Massage Therapy Questions
At Halcyon Mind+Body, we’ll discuss your symptoms and concerns and help you determine a proper massage treatment that fits your needs.
We recommend everyone receive a massage once a month, but depending on your pain level and discomfort, we may suggest a more frequent massage schedule.
Absolutely nothing—just sit back and relax. Throughout your massage session, we’ll check in with you to ensure that the applied pressure is effective and the temperature is comfortable. Other than that, all you have to do is close your eyes, focus on your inner peace, and unwind.
Reiki Massage Questions
Massage therapy, in general, is designed to be a relaxing experience that alleviates pain and discomfort. The main difference between a Reiki massage and a traditional massage is the amount of pressure applied. During a traditional massage, the therapist will target a specific tension area with mild to moderate pressure. In contrast, a Reiki massage requires little to no touch at all, focusing on removing the negative toxins from your body as a whole.
Reiki massage sensations can vary from person to person. Some experience a tingling or pulsing feeling, others say the targeted area begins to feel warm, and others feel nothing at all.
Because a Reiki massage redirects your energy, it’s important to make sure you’ve eaten and hydrated beforehand. Please be sure to avoid having a heavy meal, as this can direct your body’s energy toward digestion, affecting your overall results. Additionally, you should wear comfortable clothing for your Reiki massage.
Yoga Questions
Yoga is designed to bring balance into your body and mind through breathing exercises and a series of postures. By practicing yoga, you’ll learn how to center your mind, bringing balance and relaxation to your soul.
The best part about practicing yoga in a professional studio like the one at Halcyon is that you have a yoga teacher there to guide you. During each class, our instructor will help you through each pose, walk around the room, and assist you when needed. If at any time you feel unable to perform one of the poses, feel free to revert back to a previous posture or ask for assistance.
You can practice yoga as often as you’d like. Some prefer only to go once or twice a week, while others opt to make yoga their daily workout routine. The good news is that you’ll feel the difference in muscle tension and flexibility regardless of how often you practice.
