ADVANCED FACIALS
When your skin is ready for more
These are my walk-in-safe facial options and the starting point for most clients. Choose based on what sounds closest to your concerns, or simply book and let me help you decide. Every treatment begins with a professional protocol, then I customize it around the skin in front of me.
BEFORE ADVANCED TREATMENT
Advanced doesn’t mean better.
I don’t start new clients with advanced treatments. Before we get there, I need to see your skin in person, see how it responds to treatment, and make sure we have a solid home routine in place.
We’ll start with a standard facial.
Usually, I need at least one standard facial before moving into advanced services. Sometimes one appointment tells me everything I need to know. Sometimes I want a little more time with your skin first.
I need to know what you’re using at home.
You don’t need a perfect routine before you come see me, but before we start doing more corrective treatments, I want your home care to make sense for what we’re trying to accomplish. What happens between appointments matters.
Some treatments require prep.
Depending on what we’re doing, you may need to pause certain actives beforehand or make changes to your routine for a few days afterward. I’ll tell you exactly what needs to change and when.
And sometimes we change the plan.
You can come in scheduled for an advanced facial and I may decide your skin needs something gentler that day. If your barrier looks compromised, you’re irritated, or your skin just isn’t in a place where more exfoliation makes sense, I’m not going to push it just because that’s what was originally booked.
HOW I PROGRESS TREATMENT
We Start With What Your Skin Needs Now, Then Build From There.
Your first facial gives me a starting point. From there, I can decide whether we stay with standard facials for a while, introduce advanced treatments, or eventually work toward chemical peels.
You do not need to “graduate” to advanced treatments, and stronger does not mean better. Some skin does beautifully with standard facials and consistent home care. Other concerns need more correction.
I’m not trying to get you to the most aggressive treatment I offer. I’m trying to figure out how much we actually need to do to get your skin where you want it.
STEP 1
We Start With Your Skin
Your first facial gives me a chance to see your skin in person, learn how it responds to professional treatment, and figure out what we actually need to work on.
STEP 2
Then We Build
Once I know your skin, we can start introducing more corrective treatments when they make sense. That may mean staying with standard facials for a while, moving into advanced treatments, or alternating between the two depending on what your skin needs.
STEP 3
Peels Come Later, If We Need Them
Chemical peels are an option when we want deeper correction and I know your skin well enough to use them responsibly. They require the right preparation, home care, and treatment history first.
Not Sure Which Treatment Is For You? Start With What You Want To Change.
I’ve grouped these treatments by the concerns they tend to work best for, so you have an idea of where we might start. You don’t need to know which facial to choose before you come in.
There can be a lot of overlap between concerns, and between treatments. I’ll look at what your skin is doing that day, what we’ve already tried, and what we’re working toward before deciding what makes the most sense.
ADVANCED TREATMENTS BY CONCERN
HYPERPIGMENTATION • DARK SPOTS • UNEVEN TONE
I am ready to take brightening beyond a standard facial.
For melanin-rich skin, deeper correction still has to respect inflammation and barrier health. I build brightening in stages instead of treating pigmentation like something to scrub or peel into submission.
BerryBright+
Builds on the standard BerryBright facial with a lactic acid step for stronger exfoliation, hydration and brightening. Designed for hyperpigmentation, dark spots, acne and aging concerns.
IF YOU WANT THIS FACIAL, START HERE
BerryBright. I want to see how your skin responds to the standard brightening protocol before adding the lactic-acid step.
BerryBright PRO
The most intensive version of the BerryBright progression, adding Vitamin A for increased cell turnover and stronger correction of hyperpigmentation, texture, acne and visible aging concerns.
IF YOU WANT THIS FACIAL, START HERE
BerryBright. From there, I may progress you through BerryBright+ before PRO depending on your tolerance, home care and response.
ACNE • CONGESTION • POST-INFLAMMATORY PIGMENTATION
My acne needs more targeted correction.
At this level I can address congestion, uneven texture and post-breakout pigmentation more aggressively, but only when your barrier and home routine can support it.
Acne Peel & Perfect
A corrective protocol combining alpha and beta acid exfoliation with extractions and a calming, clarifying mask. It is designed for acne, congestion, oiliness and uneven texture while also addressing post-inflammatory pigmentation and irritation.
IF YOU WANT THIS FACIAL, START HERE
Acne Detox / C2O2. This gives me a baseline for how your acne, inflammation and congestion respond before I add the stronger acid-based correction.
Hydrating Lactic Acid Facial
A gentler advanced option when acne or pigmentation exists alongside dehydration. Lactic acid provides exfoliation while the rest of the treatment focuses on hydration and a luminous finish.
IF YOU WANT THIS FACIAL, START HERE
Hydration Infusion. I can assess hydration, barrier function and tolerance before moving into the lactic-acid version.
FINE LINES • ELASTICITY • TEXTURE • AGING
I want stronger correction for visible aging.
These treatments combine exfoliation with firming, brightening or Vitamin A-based steps. I use them when your skin has already demonstrated that it can tolerate more intensive correction.
Beyond Botox
An 80-minute specialty facial combining dermaplaning, a gel-based lactic peel, hydrating massage and a firming peptide mask. Designed for dryness, fine lines, loss of elasticity and dull, lackluster skin.
IF YOU WANT THIS FACIAL, START HERE
Luxe Lift. It targets firming, brightness and elasticity at the standard-facial level before I combine multiple advanced modalities.
Pumpkin Peel with Vitamin A
A resurfacing treatment built around Zymase enzyme, pumpkin-based exfoliation and a Vitamin A finish to support cell turnover, texture, brightness and visible aging concerns.
IF YOU WANT THIS FACIAL, START HERE
Luxe Lift if aging or texture is the priority, or BerryBright if pigmentation is the main concern. I use that first appointment to choose the safer progression.
DEHYDRATION • FINE LINES • HYPERPIGMENTATION
I want advanced exfoliation, but hydration still matters.
Corrective work does not have to mean leaving your skin feeling stripped. For the right client, lactic acid can give me a more advanced exfoliating step while keeping hydration central to the treatment.
Hydrating Lactic Acid Facial
Uses a lactic acid peel followed by hydrating and protective steps. Circadia positions it for dehydrated skin, hyperpigmentation and fine lines, with no downtime in the protocol.
BerryBright+
Another option when dehydration and pigmentation overlap, combining lactic acid with antioxidant and brightening components.
BRIDAL SERISE
Wedding Facial Series
A three-month, once-monthly series built around customized exfoliation, hydration, brightening and firming. Circadia's protocol allows the enzyme, peel, mask and optional Vitamin A steps to be chosen around the client's concerns.
Month 1: Establish the baseline and begin corrective work.
Month 2: Adjust the peel and supporting treatment based on response.
Month 3: Finish with a customized treatment designed around the skin you have then, not the skin you had three months earlier.
