Facials.
Not a filler service. This is where skin gets maintained between the bigger things, where problems get caught early, and where a lot of the best conversations in the building happen. Martha is a licensed aesthetician and a certified laser technician, which means she can tell you when a facial is the answer and when it isn't.
Everyone deserves skin that has been properly looked at. These are the people who tend to book.
Between laser visits
A series of photofacials or tightening works better on skin that is clean, calm and hydrated. This is how it stays that way.
Congested or breakout-prone skin
Clogged pores, the odd stubborn breakout, texture that has crept in. Extractions done properly, by someone who does them every day.
Dull, dry or tired skin
The kind that looks fine in the morning and gives up by three. Hydration, gentle exfoliation, and a plan for home.
Sensitive or redness-prone skin
Facials tuned down, not up. Nothing harsh; a lot of listening to how your skin reacts.
Before an event
A wedding, a reunion, a photograph you care about. A week out is ideal.
A gentle first visit
If lasers feel like a big step, a facial with Martha is the least intimidating way to walk in the door.
Three parts. Nobody is rushed through any of them.
A look, and a chat
Martha looks at your skin under proper light and asks what you use at home. This is where most of the useful advice happens.
The facial
Cleanse, exfoliation suited to your skin, extractions where they are needed, a mask, and our own collagen products worked in. About an hour. Many people fall asleep.
Afterwards
Skin is calm and slightly glowing. You leave with a short, honest note on what to use at home — usually less than you were using — and when it makes sense to come back.
Hands, mostly
Martha's hands, good light, and The Collagen Connection products Trish developed in 2017 — an organic, medical-grade collagen line that was built to go with the laser work and stands on its own. Infrared and cool steam when the skin wants calming.
When a facial is not the right answer, Martha says so and points you at the treatment that is.
All the tools we use →One visit at a time.
No packages, nothing prepaid. You pay at the visit, for the visit, and you can stop whenever you like.
Facials are priced per visit. There are no memberships and no series to buy up front.
If a laser treatment or collagen infusion would do more for what bothers you, you will be told before you pay for a facial.
Asked in the room, answered here.
Which facial should I book?
You do not have to choose. Book a facial, tell Martha what you see in the mirror, and she will decide what your skin needs that day. The menu is hers to worry about.
How often should I have one?
Every four to six weeks keeps skin in good shape; that is roughly one cell-turnover cycle. Between laser visits it is often the thing that makes the series work better.
Can I have a facial and a laser treatment on the same day?
Often, yes, depending on which treatment. Some lasers want a clean, un-exfoliated surface; some collagen work is better after a facial. We sequence it for you.
Will I be sold products?
No. We make our own line and Martha will tell you what she used, and you can buy it or not. Most people leave using fewer products than they came in with.
Ready to start, or not sure yet? Either is fine.
Pick a time straight on the calendar, or book an hour to talk it through first, in person, no charge to talk. You pay at the visit, for the visit.
