1. What kind of skincare treatments do you offer?
I offer personalized facials, deep cleansing, hydrating therapy, anti-aging care, acne treatments, enzyme peels, chemical peels, facial massage, body care treatments, sculp treatments and more — all tailored to your skin’s unique needs.

2. How do I know which facial is right for me?
You can begin with a consultation to understand your skin type and concerns. Or, you can book the “Relax and Glow” Facial — a great first treatment that will be fully customized to your skin’s needs.

3. Can I book just a consultation?
Yes! A consultation is a great first step, especially if you’re new to professional skincare or unsure what your skin needs.

4. Will I receive guidance on home care?
Absolutely. After your first treatment, I observe how your skin responds and create a personalized home care plan using professional products to maintain results and support healthy skin.

5. Is home care really necessary?
Yes, your daily routine is essential to extend the benefits of professional treatments. I’ll guide you on the right products to use at home based on your skin condition and goals.

6. What products do you use?
I use pharmaceutical-grade skincare for specific skin concerns, as well as herbal and plant-based lines to maintain skin health. All products are professional, safe, and carefully chosen for their effectiveness and quality.

7. Can I buy skincare products at your studio?
Yes. I offer a curated selection of professional home care products. You can also place product orders through me after your consultation.

8. Do you treat men’s skin too?
Yes! Skincare is for everyone. I offer customized treatments for men’s specific skin needs as well.

9. How often should I get treatments?
It depends on your goals. Advanced facials and microneedling are typically monthly. Acne protocols or peels may be every 2 weeks. Relaxation facials and facial massage can be weekly.

10. How soon will I see results?
Some clients see results immediately. Others may need a few sessions. It depends on your skin condition, treatment type, and consistency with home care.

11. Do you offer treatments for sensitive or acne-prone skin?
Yes. I work with all skin types. Treatments and product selections are always adjusted for your comfort and skin’s needs.

12. Do you offer chemical peels?
Yes. I use only Health Canada-approved chemical peels. Options include walk-in (very superficial, no prep) and superficial peels that require skin prep with products like protease inhibitors.

13. What if I have a breakout or cold sore (herpes) before my appointment?
If you have an active cold sore, please reschedule. I avoid treating areas with active herpes to prevent spreading. If you're unsure, just let me know — I'm here to guide you safely.

14. What should I do if I experience a reaction after a treatment?
Follow post-care instructions. Avoid touching your face, switch pillowcases, and skip workouts, saunas, and pools. Mild redness or flaking can be normal. Contact me if anything concerns you.

15. Is there downtime after a treatment?
Most facials have no downtime. Some active treatments may cause slight redness or flaking for a few days. I always explain what to expect in advance.

16. Can I wear makeup after my appointment?
It's best to avoid makeup for 6–12 hours to allow your skin to fully absorb the treatment benefits and recover.

17. What if I have a skin condition or concern I’m unsure about?
Please let me know in advance. If you’re experiencing flare-ups, rashes, or breakouts, I’ll assess whether treatment is safe or recommend adjustments.

18. How long is a typical appointment?
Most treatments last between 50 and 80 minutes. Consultations, chemical peels, or express facials may be shorter.

19. What payment methods do you accept?
I accept cash, e-transfer, and online payment through my booking system.

20. Is your studio licensed and safe?
Yes. A.B. Skincare Studio is fully licensed and insured, following strict hygiene and safety standards. Your comfort and well-being always come first.
