Facial Treatment FAQs

For many people, a facial approximately every four weeks can be a practical way to maintain a consistent professional skincare routine.

However, there's no single ideal schedule for everyone. The frequency depends on your skin type and condition, the Skin Tools used, your skincare routine and your treatment goals.

Some people may benefit from more frequent appointments, while others may need longer intervals. We'll decide together what works best for your skin.

Skin Tools are the professional technologies and techniques I use to create personalized facial treatments.

Each tool has its own purpose and benefits. Depending on your skin's condition, your goals and any contraindications, I may combine some of the following:

• Microdermabrasion
• Hydrodermabrasion
• Ultrasonic Skin Scrubber
• Organic Enzyme Peel
• Light Professional Peels
• High Frequency
• Oxygen Infusion
• Sonophoresis
• Nanoneedling
• Radio Frequency
• Microcurrent
• Ultrasound
• Gua Sha
• Targeted Facial Massage
• LED Light Therapy
• Cold Hammer Cryotherapy

Not every Skin Tool is used during every facial. I'll select the techniques that are appropriate for your skin and the treatment we're planning.

Of course you can tell me if you're interested in a particular technique!

At Every Body, I don't offer one-size-fits-all facials. You choose how much time you'd like to dedicate to your treatment, and I'll create a personalized experience based on your skin's needs.

If there's a specific Skin Tool you'd like to try, we'll discuss your expectations and I'll assess whether it's appropriate and safe for you.

The right preparation depends on the treatment we'll be performing and your skin's current condition.

In my service menu, you'll find detailed preparation instructions in each facial treatment's description, explaining what to do and what to avoid before your appointment. Please take a moment to read them before your visit, as preparation requirements may vary depending on the treatment.

There are also some general preparation guidelines worth keeping in mind:

Before your appointment:

• Laser, IPL, Botox or fillers: Let me know if you’ve had any of these procedures within the past 14 days. Depending on the procedure and the facial treatment planned, a longer waiting period or clearance from the healthcare professional who performed it may be required.
• Intense sun exposure or tanning beds: Avoid these for at least 7 days before your appointment, especially if exfoliation is planned.
• Scrubs, acids and retinoids: Let me know which products you’re using. Some treatments may require you to stop using them temporarily, usually around 5 days beforehand, according to the instructions I’ll provide. Don’t stop any prescribed treatment without consulting your doctor.
• Shaving or depilatory creams on your face: Ideally, allow 2–3 days before your appointment.
• Waxing or electrolysis: Ideally, allow at least 5 days after waxing and 14 days after electrolysis before your facial.

On the day of your appointment:

Follow your usual gentle skincare routine unless I’ve given you different instructions. You don’t need to arrive without makeup.

Most importantly, be open with me about previous treatments, the products you use, any skin reactions you’ve experienced and your skincare goals.

There’s no reason to feel embarrassed or uncomfortable. This information helps me care for your skin more safely.

The consultation form is an important part of preparing for your facial.

The information you provide helps me better understand your skin's condition and assess which products, techniques and Skin Tools are suitable for you or should be avoided.

The form includes questions about your skincare routine, lifestyle, relevant medical history, medications and previous treatments.

All this information helps me tailor your facial to your individual needs, consider any potential contraindications and provide appropriate aftercare advice.

Protecting your personal information is very important to me. Your information is stored in encrypted form, with restricted and controlled access to help keep it private and confidential.

You can find out more about how your information is collected, stored and managed in Every Body's Privacy Policy.

Professional skincare is only one part of caring for your skin. Your daily routine is just as important.

At the end of your facial, I'll walk you through personalized aftercare instructions at the studio, based on your skin's needs and the products and Skin Tools we used.

You'll also receive all your aftercare instructions by email, so you can easily refer back to them whenever you need to, without having to remember everything we discussed during your visit.

Depending on your facial, you may need to:

• Keep your skin clean and avoid touching, rubbing or picking at it.
• Use a clean pillowcase.
• Temporarily avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat and sweating.
• Avoid shaving, waxing or laser hair removal for 48–72 hours, or longer if specifically advised.
• Limit direct sun exposure and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every day.
• Avoid exfoliating or other active skincare ingredients for the recommended period.

The duration of these precautions depends on the treatment and how your skin responds.

I'll also help you build a simple, effective home skincare routine that suits your skin and lifestyle.

If you've recently had Botox, fillers, IPL, resurfacing laser or laser hair removal on your face, please let me know before booking.

As a general studio policy, I usually ask you to wait at least 14 days.

However, the appropriate waiting period may be longer, depending on the procedure, your skin's healing and the instructions given by the practitioner who performed it.

We'll make sure the timing is appropriate before proceeding.

Yes, but a little extra care is needed.

Eyelash extensions and microbladed eyebrows may be affected by certain skincare products, steam or techniques used during a facial.

As a general guideline, I recommend waiting at least 24 hours after eyelash extensions and 6 weeks after microblading, provided the area has fully healed.

Please also follow the aftercare advice given by the professional who performed your treatment.

Let me know about your extensions or microblading beforehand so I can protect those areas during your facial.

Absolutely! Having a beard or facial hair doesn't mean you can't enjoy a facial.

There's no need to shave specifically for your appointment.

If you shave or use a facial hair removal cream, it's best to wait at least 2–3 days before your facial to help prevent irritation.

If you've recently had facial waxing, please allow at least  5 days before your appointment, or 14 days if you've had electrolysis or laser hair removal.

Having eczema doesn't necessarily mean you can't have any facial treatments.

However, if you're experiencing an active flare-up, redness, significant sensitivity, irritation or a compromised skin barrier, we may need to postpone your facial or avoid certain products and Skin Tools.

Please let me know about your skin condition and any ongoing treatment before your appointment. If your symptoms are active or unclear, a dermatologist's assessment may be needed first.

If you have an active cold sore or the affected skin hasn't fully healed, we'll need to postpone your facial.

Cold sores are contagious, and certain skincare products or techniques can cause further irritation or spread the infection.

We can proceed once the affected area has completely healed and there are no active symptoms.

If you frequently experience cold sores or have any concerns, please let me know and consult your healthcare professional, especially before treatments that may irritate your skin.

Yes, it is possible to provide a suitably adapted facial during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

However, not all skincare ingredients and Skin Tools are appropriate during these periods.

Please let me know when booking and consult your healthcare professional, especially if you have specific medical advice or restrictions.

This will help me assess which products and techniques may be appropriate for your individual situation and which should be avoided.
