Questions, answered clearly.
What happens during a consultation?
We begin with your history, current routine, concerns, and goals, then evaluate your skin and design an individual treatment plan. No one-size-fits-all protocols.
What is Vivace Ultra?
It is an FDA-cleared radiofrequency microneedling device with ultrasound skin mapping. This allows treatment to be personalized by skin layer while supporting natural-looking rejuvenation.
Do you offer plans or packages?
Yes. Flexible options include prepaid “6 for 5” treatment bundles that can be fine-tuned as your skin’s needs change.
What support is included with microblading?
Your second session and desired-look touch-ups within 45 days are included. Color correction within the first week and ongoing aftercare support are also provided.
