## Six ways to your best skin
Each one refreshes your skin in its own way. Pick one to see what it treats, how it works and what to expect.
- HydraFacial Cleanses, exfoliates, extracts and hydrates in one relaxing visit, with no downtime. Signature, Deluxe, Platinum, Acne and Wet Diamond. [1]
- DiamondGlow A diamond tip exfoliates while suction clears pores and a SkinMedica serum is infused, with minimal downtime. [2]
- Dermaplaning Removes dead skin and peach fuzz so skin looks brighter and makeup goes on more smoothly. [3]
- VI Peel A medium-depth peel with formulas for acne, melasma, dark spots, early aging and the body. About a week of light peeling. [4]
- SkinCeuticals Peels Light, customizable peels, from the MicroPeel to the Pigment Balancing Peel, that heal in about a week or less. [5]
- Treatment Add-Ons Dermaplaning, boosters, neck and chest care, back facials and hand facials to customize any visit.

## Facial and peel questions, answered
**Q: What's the difference between a facial and a peel?**
A facial like HydraFacial cleans, exfoliates and hydrates with no downtime. A peel uses a professional solution to lift away the outer layers of skin, with a few days of flaking or peeling.
**Q: How much downtime will I have?**
None for a HydraFacial, minimal for DiamondGlow, [2] 1 to 7 days for a light peel, [5] and about a week of light peeling for a VI Peel. [4]
**Q: Are peels safe for darker skin?**
Yes, with the right peel. VI Peel formulas are made for all skin tones, [4] and people with skin of color can safely have chemical peels with an experienced team. [5]
**Q: How often should I come in?**
Many people have a HydraFacial about once a month. [1] Peels are often done as a series a few weeks apart. [4] [5]
**Q: Can I combine treatments?**
Often, yes. Dermaplaning before a facial or peel is a popular pairing, and your consultant can suggest others.
**Q: Is this good before a wedding?**
Yes. Plan a few weeks ahead, especially for peels, so your skin looks its best on your big day.
