Facial Questions

 Facials and skin treatments fall into two categories, relaxation and clinical.  We offer both here at Sirene Spa.  If you are just looking to relax and also get some skin pampering, our European style spa facial is a great option for anyone.  It incorporates a lot of massage and aromatherapy while also cleansing, exfoliating, and deeply nourishing your skin.  If you are new to facials, this is a great option to start out on.  Our facials are all customizable and will be tailored to your unique needs.  If you're uncertain what you want, just book a Spa Facial and note in your comments at booking that you are not sure what you want.  Your therapist will guide you when you arrive and fill out a skin health history form.  

It's possible!  Facials have the affect of stimulating sluggish skin into doing what it's supposed to do.  Sometimes, a congested pore might need to be purged and the massage and cleansing procedure in a facial will trigger your skin to target and heal those areas.  If you haven't had a treatment before or haven't had one in some time, a light breakout is always possible.  What should not happen in your facial is an allergic reaction to our skincare products, which can look like a breakout.  Often, when you try a new product and a strong ingredient in it does not agree with your skin, a rash can appear.  We use only professional product and our therapists are well trained to identify potential triggers in your skin that could lead to one of these types of breakouts.  Facials help the skin, not hurt it.
 

 We use several professional lines (Decleor, Skin Script and PCA).  Products from our lines are formulated to work with most skin types.  One size doesn't fit all though and that is why we carry three lines.  If your skin reacts to fragrances (even essential oils), we can use PCA on you which is free of fragrances and unnecessary harsh ingredients that are known to cause skin sensitivity.  We will address all your concerns in your consultation.

 We perform our facials on a flat massage table.  You will be expected to partially undress so that we can work on your shoulders and chest.  You don't have to undress if that makes you feel uncomfortable.  We have sheets and blankets to cover you with for your privacy and comfort.  You will come in, enjoy a house beverage, will be offered to sit in our relaxation lounge and get into a robe.  It is all optional though, not a requirement.  In a facial we will touch your face, neck, chest, shoulders,  hands and arms.  We will mess up your hair by wrapping it in a towel.  You may feel relaxed and dizzy afterwards.  It is best if you plan on taking your time for this appointment and be here for a while longer than just your appointment time.

 Wear comfortable clothing.  It is best to come without makeup but not a requirement.  Our space is private and relaxing so no need to worry about what you are wearing or how you look.  Facials are BEST booked at night so you can go home and relax afterwards.  Skip the makeup and sun after your service for best results.  Please leave jewelry and expensive items at home, your eyes will be closed a lot here.  Plan to turn your phone off, we like to have  your undivided attention.

 Depends!  Some facials do hurt but they don't have to.  You are either someone who just likes to be pampered and let everything feed good or you're someone who wants us to "get in there" and clean out your pores.  You tell us what you want and expect and we will adjust your treatment to your wants and needs.  Even if that changes from visit to visit!  Let us know before we start if you just want to relax today or if you feel like you need a lot of work.
