Managing Redness & Reactivity
Rosacea & Sensitive Skin Facials
A facial for rosacea-prone and sensitive skin is a study in gentle care. The primary goal is to calm, soothe, and reduce inflammation without causing further irritation. We begin with a careful analysis and a cleanse using a pH-balanced, sulfate-free formula. All products used are free of common irritants like fragrance, alcohol, and harsh exfoliants. Instead, we select ingredients known for their anti-inflammatory and barrier-repairing properties, such as azelaic acid, niacinamide, chamomile, and cucumber.
Exfoliation, if performed, is done with extreme care, typically using mild enzymes that dissolve dead skin without any physical scrubbing. Massage techniques are modified to be light and calming, focusing on lymphatic drainage rather than stimulating movements. The treatment often concludes with a cooling mask and therapies like Cold Therapy or Red Light Therapy to further reduce redness and strengthen capillary walls. Our aim is to leave your skin feeling relieved and balanced, and to help fortify its natural defenses against future flare-ups.

Soothing & Hydrating Support
Psoriasis Support Facials
It's crucial to understand that psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition and our facials are designed as a supportive therapy, not a cure. The focus is to provide comfort, alleviate dryness, and help manage the appearance of facial psoriasis with the utmost care. We work to soften and reduce the scaling associated with psoriasis plaques through incredibly gentle methods, such as oil-based cleansers and hydrating, non-occlusive masks.
Our protocol avoids any stimulating or potentially irritating treatments. Instead, we focus on infusing the skin with deep, lasting hydration and lipids to help repair the compromised skin barrier. Ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and oat extract are used to soothe and moisturize. The goal is purely therapeutic: to make your skin feel more comfortable, hydrated, and less irritated. We always recommend consulting with your dermatologist and can work alongside your medical treatment plan to provide complementary, professional care.

Instant Relief with Cryotherapy
Cold Therapy for Inflamed Skin
For sensitive, rosacea-prone, or inflamed skin, Cold Therapy (Cryotherapy) is a game-changer. This treatment uses a chilled wand or mask to rapidly cool the skin's surface. This provides immediate, significant benefits for reactive skin types. The primary effect is vasoconstriction—the narrowing of blood vessels. For those who experience flushing and persistent redness, this instantly reduces the visible redness by constricting the dilated capillaries near the surface.
This cooling process provides instant relief from the hot, burning, or itchy sensations that often accompany inflammatory flare-ups. It dramatically calms the skin, reduces puffiness, and tightens pores. Used consistently, cryotherapy can even help to strengthen capillary walls over time, making them less prone to dilation and reactivity. It’s an essential, non-invasive tool we use to bring immediate comfort and a visible reduction in the signs of inflammation.
Gentle Detoxification with MLD
Lymphatic Drainage Facial
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is one of the most beneficial yet gentle techniques for sensitive and inflamed skin. Unlike traditional massage, MLD uses extremely light, rhythmic, feather-like strokes to stimulate the lymphatic system, which is a crucial part of your immune system responsible for clearing waste and toxins from the body. It does this without increasing blood flow to the skin, making it perfectly safe for even the most reactive conditions like rosacea.
For sensitive skin, inflammation can be caused or exacerbated by stagnant fluid and cellular waste. By encouraging lymphatic flow, MLD helps to gently detoxify the skin tissues, reducing the underlying factors that contribute to puffiness, irritation, and redness. It is exceptionally effective at reducing fluid retention and puffiness around the eyes and jawline. This deeply relaxing treatment helps to calm the nervous system and leaves the skin looking clearer, feeling less congested, and functioning at its healthiest.
