Each facial is customized during your appointment around your skin, goals, comfort and suitability.

Find Your Facial
Answer a few quick questions about your skin goals, sensitivity, and preferred experience — and I'll suggest the facial that fits you best.
The Experience
Every facial is shaped around you. The exact flow shifts with your skin and how you're feeling that day, but most sessions move gently through these moments of care.
We start with a calm, unhurried conversation about your skin, lifestyle, and what you'd like your skin to feel like leaving the room.
A double cleanse followed by a closer look at your skin so the rest of your treatment can be tailored to what your skin needs today.
An exfoliation method chosen specifically for your skin — never a one-size-fits-all approach.
Extractions are offered when they will genuinely support your skin, and skipped when your skin needs gentleness instead.
A mask selected for your skin's needs in the moment — hydrating, calming, clarifying, or nourishing.
Relaxation-focused touch through the face, neck, and shoulders to help your nervous system soften alongside your skin.
Warm towels and calming aromatherapy are woven in when appropriate, adding to the sensory experience.
Serums, eye care, moisturizer, and SPF chosen for your skin — plus simple home-care suggestions when they would be helpful.
Your facial is designed to be both supportive and deeply relaxing — caring for your skin while allowing your nervous system a chance to settle.
Individualized Care
Every facial begins with a conversation about your skin, goals and comfort. From there, products, techniques and the pace of the session are customized for you. Your appointment may include cleansing, appropriate exfoliation, a customized mask, facial massage, hydration and other suitable modalities—but there is no fixed minute-by-minute protocol.
We talk through your skin, your goals and your comfort so the session is shaped around you from the very start.
Cleansing, appropriate exfoliation, a customized mask, facial massage and hydration are selected for your skin—never a fixed protocol.
Finishing products, simple home-care guidance and a moment to settle before you head back into your day.
Curated With Care
Michelle uses Hale & Hush and Skin Script professional skin care products to support a range of skin needs — including sensitive, reactive, dry, aging, congested, and stressed skin.
A sensitive-skin-first line — ideal for reactive, post-procedure, or easily inflamed skin that needs gentle, calming support.
A results-focused line offering targeted support for concerns such as uneven-looking tone, congestion, and the appearance of aging skin.
Ingredients & Products
Every product I reach for is chosen for your skin in the moment — not pulled from a one-size-fits-all routine. Here's a closer look at the kinds of ingredients I work with and how I adjust them for sensitive or reactive skin.
Sulfate-free, pH-balanced cleansers that remove makeup and buildup without stripping your skin's natural barrier.
Ingredients I love
Enzyme exfoliants and gentle acids matched to your skin's tolerance — never aggressive scrubs.
Ingredients I love
Targeted serums chosen for your concerns — hydration, brightening, calming, or barrier support.
Ingredients I love
Treatment masks customized in the moment — hydrating, calming, clarifying, or nourishing as your skin needs.
Ingredients I love
Lightweight to rich moisturizers and dedicated eye treatments to seal in hydration and support a healthy barrier.
Ingredients I love
Mineral and elegant tinted SPFs that protect without irritation — because daily SPF is the most important step.
Ingredients I love
If your skin runs sensitive, reactive, rosacea-prone, or has been through recent treatments, your facial is built differently from the ground up — not adjusted at the last minute.
Always let me know about new products, prescriptions, recent procedures, or anything that's been irritating your skin so we can plan accordingly.
Ingredient Transparency
A closer look at the active ingredients I reach for most often, what they do, and how I match strength and frequency to your skin's sensitivity.
Holds water in the skin for plump, hydrated, supple comfort.
Sensitive skin
Used freely — well tolerated and barrier-supporting.

Layered with other actives to deepen hydration and glow.
Calms redness, supports the barrier, and refines pores over time.
Sensitive skin
Started at 2–4% and patch tested if there's any reactivity.

Brightens tone, supports collagen, and adds antioxidant defense.

Gently exfoliates and hydrates while smoothing texture.
Sensitive skin
Low percentage, short contact time, paired with calming agents.

Clears congestion inside the pore and supports oilier or breakout-prone skin.
Sensitive skin
Spot-treated only, or swapped for a gentler option like willow bark.
Normal / resilient skin

A larger-molecule AHA — exfoliates slowly and evens tone with less irritation.
Sensitive skin

Normal / resilient skin
Layered into peels for gradual brightening and texture work.
Digest dead surface cells without abrasion or strong acids.
Sensitive skin

Sensitive skin
Avoided in-treatment; gentle alternatives like bakuchiol suggested for home.

Sits on the skin and reflects UV — the gentlest broad-spectrum option.
Sensitive skin
First choice — non-reactive and barrier-supportive.
Normal / resilient skin
Used daily for protection without disrupting other actives.
Strength, percentage, and frequency are always adjusted in the room — never assumed. If an active doesn't suit your skin that day, we simply choose another.
Beyond the Treatment Room
A professional facial can leave your skin feeling refreshed, hydrated and cared for. However, one appointment cannot replace what happens between visits.
When your goal is meaningful, longer-term improvement in the appearance and condition of your skin, consistency matters. An individualized home-care regimen, appropriate professional products and properly timed facial appointments work together to support your progress.
Michelle can help you simplify that process by recommending products and a routine based on your skin, your goals, your comfort, your lifestyle and overall suitability. Recommendations may change as your skin responds or your needs evolve.
The goal is not to overwhelm you with products. It is to help you understand what to use, why you are using it and how to use it consistently.
Your facial provides focused professional care. Your daily routine helps support your skin between appointments.
Customized care, professional exfoliation and targeted support during your appointment.
A manageable regimen selected around your skin, goals and suitability.
Regular use and appropriately scheduled appointments help support continued progress.
Signature Experience
Sculpt & Glow is an individualized facial rather than a fixed protocol — and it is not simply a microcurrent facial. What happens during your session depends on your goals, your skin, your comfort, any contraindications, and overall suitability on that day.
Not every technique is necessary or appropriate for every client. Some sessions lean toward relaxation and facial massage; others include a device or a specific mask. Cosmetic goals such as refreshed, radiant-looking, or more lifted-looking skin describe the appearance we aim for, not a guaranteed result.
The Deluxe is the extended, more indulgent version. The only fixed difference is 15 additional minutes, which may be used for more facial massage, relaxation, or other appropriate customized care. It does not automatically include any device, product, technique, or modality that the 75-minute facial does not.
Before You Arrive
A few simple things that help your appointment feel unhurried and comfortable.
If you have an active skin concern, a recent cosmetic or medical procedure, a medical condition, or you use medications that may affect your skin, please share that when you book — and check with your healthcare provider if you are unsure whether a facial is suitable for you right now.
Before You Arrive
A few questions to think through before your appointment. Sharing this information helps me tailor your facial safely and choose ingredients that support — not stress — your skin.
Even mild reactions are worth mentioning so we can avoid certain ingredients during your treatment.
Some prescriptions and supplements affect how your skin responds to exfoliation, extractions, and active ingredients.
Recent treatments and skin changes shape what's safe and most beneficial for your facial today.
You don't need to fill out a form ahead of time — just review these questions and share anything relevant during your consultation. When in doubt, mention it.
At-Home Care
Introducing new actives at home doesn't have to be guesswork. Use this simple patch-test method and face-map guide to help your skin accept new ingredients calmly.
A 5-day rhythm to introduce one new product at a time, in one small spot, before it touches the rest of your face.
Day 1 — Choose your spot
Pick a small, discreet area: behind the ear, along the jawline, or the inside of your forearm. Cleanse the area gently and pat dry.
Day 1–2 — Apply a small amount
Use a pea-sized amount of the new product on that spot only. Don't layer other actives there. Repeat once that evening.
Day 3 — Watch and wait
Leave the area alone and observe for redness, bumps, itching, or burning. No reaction so far is a good sign — keep going.
Day 4 — Test on the face
If your skin stays calm, apply a small amount to one cheek or the side of the chin only — not the full face yet.
Day 5+ — Build slowly
If you still feel calm and comfortable, work the product into your routine 2–3 times a week, then build from there. Introduce only one new product at a time.
Stop and rinse if you notice
Burning, stinging beyond the first minute, persistent redness, swelling, itching, or small bumps. Wait 7 days before retrying — and reach out if you'd like help.
Different zones of the face have different needs. Use this map as a starting point when you're applying or layering actives at home.
Forehead
Often oilier, breakout-proneBest for: Gentle BHAs, niacinamide, lightweight hydration.
Go gentle: Heavy occlusives that can trap oil and trigger congestion.
T-Zone (Nose & Center)
Most active oil glandsBest for: Salicylic acid, clay masks, mattifying serums when needed.
Go gentle: Overusing strong actives daily — alternate with calming nights.
Cheeks
Driest, most reactive areaBest for: Hyaluronic acid, ceramides, peptides, gentle vitamin C.
Go gentle: Strong AHAs/BHAs without a buffering moisturizer underneath.
Under-Eye Area
Thin, delicate, easily irritatedBest for: Eye-specific peptides, caffeine, and fragrance-free hydration.
Go gentle: Retinol, acids, and essential oils unless formulated for eyes.
Around the Mouth & Chin
Hormonal breakouts and dryness can overlapBest for: Targeted spot treatments and barrier-supporting moisturizer.
Go gentle: Layering multiple actives here — it's a frequent irritation hotspot.
Neck & Décolleté
Thinner skin that ages quicklyBest for: Daily SPF, peptides, and gentle hydration extended downward.
Go gentle: Skipping SPF — this area shows sun damage faster than the face.
Bring any new product you're unsure about to your next appointment — we can patch test it together and make sure it fits the rest of your routine.
Aftercare
A few simple do's and don'ts to help your skin settle in and get the most from your treatment.
Depending on your facial and the modalities used, Michelle may recommend that you temporarily don't:
Aftercare varies according to your skin, the facial you received and the modalities used. Some precautions may apply only for the rest of the day, while others may continue for several days. Follow Michelle's individualized recommendations, especially after microdermabrasion or another resurfacing modality.
Aftercare Continued
Your skin is settling in. Keep your routine simple and supportive for another 48 hours.
By day four, most clients can return to their full skincare routine. If your skin still feels sensitive, give it another day or two before reintroducing actives.
After Your Visit
At the end of your facial, I'll write down a simple at-home routine tailored to your skin. Here's the structure of what you can expect to leave with.
Choose your skin type
Oily T-zone, normal-to-dry cheeks
Step 1 · Morning & Evening
A gentle gel-cream cleanser that respects drier cheeks while still clearing oil from the T-zone.
Avoid harsh foaming washes — they push combination skin further out of balance.
Step 2 · Morning & Evening
A water-gel or lotion with niacinamide and hyaluronic acid — light enough for the T-zone, hydrating enough for cheeks.
Layer a richer cream only on dry areas if needed.
Step 3 · Every Morning
A satin-finish broad-spectrum sunscreen that wears comfortably across both oily and dry zones.
Reapply every 2 hours outdoors.
Optional
Your written plan stays simple on purpose — three core steps you'll actually do, with optional add-ons only if and when your skin is ready. Snap a photo of the card before you leave so it's always with you.
