Red Carpet Facial in Boston

Who it is for

Weddings, galas, graduations, photo shoots, birthdays, date night, or the week before a big presentation. Anyone who wants every tool working for their skin at once.

What happens during your Red Carpet facial

The full signature ritual: breathwork, essential oils, steam, double cleansing and an expert skin analysis. Then your esthetician combines as many signature modalities as your skin needs, which can include HydraPurge, microdermabrasion, dermaplaning, red and blue LED, galvanic, extractions and lymphatic drainage, finished with extended massage.

When to book

Two to five days before your event is ideal. Skin is calm, clear and glowing, with time for any pinkness from extractions to settle.

Before you book

Your esthetician reviews your intake form before every treatment. Please tell us if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have an active skin infection or cold sore, a recent sunburn, or use prescription retinoids or isotretinoin, so we can adjust your treatment. If you have had Botox, fillers, laser or other injections, please wait two weeks before your facial. Tell us about any salicylic acid sensitivity or aspirin allergy, as some HydraPurge serums contain salicylic acid.

Aftercare

• Book two to five days before your event so any redness from extractions has time to settle.
• Do not try new products before your event.
• Skip retinoids, exfoliating acids and scrubs for 48 hours.
• Avoid saunas and heavy sweating for the rest of the day.
• If you can, wait until tomorrow for makeup. Wear SPF every day.

Done for you, start to finish

We never hand you a cleanser and point you to a sink. Some spas make you wash your own face before they start. Here, every step is done for you, from the double cleanse to the final massage. Just lie back.
