Frequently Asked Questions

IVONNE offers a variety of facial treatments, including and Lymphatic Sculpting Facials, Hydrafacial, AlumierMD Chemical Peels, anti-aging facials, acne facials. Each treatment is customized to address your unique skin concerns.

Facials provide a wide range of benefits, including deep cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration to improve overall skin texture and radiance. They can help reduce signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles, target concerns like acne, breakouts, and hyperpigmentation, and promote smoother, more even-toned skin. Depending on the treatment, facials may also support lymphatic drainage to reduce puffiness, boost circulation for a healthy glow, encourage detoxification, or stimulate cell turnover for long-term skin renewal.

Facial frequency is best determined by your provider’s advice and your overall treatment plan. Hydrafacials are commonly recommended 1 week before corrective treatments like laser to prepare the skin, and 2 weeks after to help prevent dryness and support recovery. As a general guideline, facials every 4–6 weeks promote long-term skin health, though timing may vary based on individual needs.

A Hydrafacial deeply cleanses and hydrates the skin using a device that infuses nourishing serums for an instant glow. A traditional facial is hands-on, combining cleansing, exfoliation, massage, and masks for relaxation and refreshed skin. A lymphatic sculpting facial focuses on gentle massage to reduce puffiness, boost circulation, and naturally sculpt facial contours. A chemical peel uses safe acids to shed dull skin and reveal a smoother, clearer, and more even complexion.

Yes, many facials, such as Hydrafacials and customized treatments, are gentle enough for sensitive skin and can be tailored to minimize irritation.

Yes, acne facials and treatments like chemical peels or LED light therapy are specifically designed to reduce breakouts, clear pores, and calm inflammation.

Facial treatments at IVONNE range from $200 to $420, depending on the type of treatment and customization required.

During a facial, your skin will be cleansed, exfoliated, treated with masks or serums, and often massaged to improve circulation and relaxation.

Many facials are safe during pregnancy, but it is important to avoid treatments that use strong chemicals or retinoids. Consult with our professionals for a safe and effective option.

For glowing skin, treatments like Hydrafacial, brightening facials, or AlumierMD Chemical Peels are excellent options to restore radiance and smoothness.

Alternatives to facials include treatments like microneedling and laser therapies. Microneedling stimulates collagen production and improves skin texture, while laser treatments address deeper skin concerns such as pigmentation, acne scars, and fine lines.

While facials are generally safe, potential risks include temporary redness, irritation, or sensitivity, especially for those with sensitive skin or allergies. It is essential to discuss your skin concerns with a professional to minimize risks.

Facials keep your skin clean, hydrated, and glowing, but if you’re looking for bigger changes, your provider may recommend adding targeted treatments. Options like laser therapy or non-RF microneedling can smooth texture, fade dark spots, and soften fine lines in ways that facials alone can’t. Pairing these corrective treatments with regular facials helps you maintain healthy skin while achieving more noticeable, lasting results.

Think of facials as seasonal support for your skin. In the summer, treatments may focus on protection - keeping skin hydrated, soothed, and shielded from sun and heat exposure. In the winter, facials typically shift toward restoration and correction, helping to repair dryness, pigmentation, and damage while boosting renewal. By adjusting your facial treatments with the seasons, you give your skin exactly what it needs year-round.

Many new clients start with facials as an introduction to professional skincare and to build a healthy foundation for their skin. Experienced clients often alternate facials with targeted corrective treatments like laser or microneedling for deeper results. Permanent makeup clients also use facials to prepare their skin and improve pigment retention. Alongside in-clinic treatments, clients follow customized at-home regimens with professional-grade cleansers, moisturizers, and serums, while advanced clients may incorporate targeted solutions such as retinols, brightening agents, and corrective serums to optimize results. Most IVONNE clients schedule at least one treatment each month to keep their skin healthy, balanced, and glowing.
