FAQs
How late can I have a facial?
We recommend your final facial 24–48 hours before the day (no extractions). Leave peels or aggressive work 2+ weeks prior.
I have sensitive or acne-prone skin — can I still do this?
Yes — we adapt exfoliation strength, avoid triggers, and use LED to calm. A longer runway (6–12 weeks) gives best results.
What if I don’t have 3 months?
Book our Express 2-Week Bridal Glow: consult + 2 facials + LED, with a simple at-home routine to support results.
Can you include neck, décolletage or hands?
Absolutely — we can add neck & décolletage, and a back peel for open-back dresses.
