What to Expect at Your Appointment
Consultation
Amanda will assess your skin on arrival and adjust the treatment sequence, products, and Forma® settings to match your current concerns and goals.
Treatment
The Signature Facial follows a multi-step sequence: deep cleansing, exfoliation, dermaplaning, Forma® skin-tightening, extractions, where appropriate, and a serum and mask finish. Sessions typically run 60 to 75 minutes.
Aftercare & Results
Most patients notice an immediate improvement in skin tone, texture, and hydration upon leaving their appointment. Any minor redness from extractions or dermaplaning typically resolves within a few hours. Patients who book monthly sessions consistently report a more even, resilient complexion over time, with skin that responds better to their regular skincare routine between visits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Signature Facial actually different from a standard facial, or is it just marketed as a premium option?
The Signature Facial incorporates Forma® radiofrequency skin tightening, which is a clinical device not included in standard facial offerings, alongside dermaplaning and customized clinical-grade serums.
Can I book the Signature Facial before a specific event?
Booking 5 to 7 days before your event allows any minor redness from extractions or dermaplaning to resolve fully, so your skin looks its best on the day.
Does the Forma® portion of the facial hurt?
Forma® uses radiofrequency energy delivered via a warming sensation, and most patients describe the experience as comfortable and pain-free.
What happens if I skip a month of my membership facial?
Consistency produces the best cumulative results, but occasional gaps are normal; resume your monthly routine, and Amanda will adjust the session to your current skin condition.
How is the Signature Facial different from a HydraFacial or similar treatments?
The Signature Facial is a clinician-designed, fully adjustable session built around your skin that day, incorporating Forma® skin tightening as a standard element, a feature that device-specific treatments like HydraFacial do not include.
Can the Signature Facial be further customized for specific skin concerns, such as acne or hyperpigmentation?
Amanda selects the serums, mask, and treatment intensity based on your presenting skin concerns at each visit, so the session is already tailored to specific conditions such as congestion, sensitivity, or uneven tone.
