Yes. We tailor product selection and exfoliation intensity to your skin's needs. During consultation, Val assesses sensitivities and adjusts technique. If you have allergies or recent treatments, discuss them beforehand to ensure a gentle, comfortable European Facial experience.

For maintenance, monthly facials are recommended to support cell turnover and collagen stimulation. Depending on your goals, skin condition, and treatments at home, Val may suggest intervals of four to six weeks or customize a plan for optimal long-term improvement.

You can wax before or after, but timing matters. We recommend scheduling waxing at least 24–48 hours before the facial to avoid irritation, or wait 48–72 hours after waxing for skin to settle. Discuss your schedule when booking for safe timing.

Contraindications include active cold sores, open wounds, severe rosacea flare-ups, recent chemical peels, or certain medications. Inform Val of medical history, recent treatments, or pregnancy. She'll advise whether to postpone, modify the facial, or recommend alternative gentle care for safety.
