Facial Exfoliation in Brooklyn
Makeup sits on dry patches instead of blending in.
Dead skin builds up faster than you think, and it makes skin look dull and feel rough. A quick professional exfoliation clears it away so skin feels soft and makeup goes on smooth. Choose the method that fits your skin.

What it feels like
Ultrasound exfoliation is a light hum on damp skin. An enzyme peel feels like a soft mask, sometimes with a mild tingle. Microdermabrasion is a gentle sanding feeling with light suction.
Exfoliation or a chemical peel?
An exfoliation is a quick surface refresh. It lifts loose, dead skin so your face feels soft the same day, with little or no downtime. A PCA chemical peel goes further and is done as a series for dark spots and uneven tone, with a few days of flaking. Start with exfoliation if you have never had either.
Aftercare
- Moisturize right away and again that evening.
- Wear sunscreen. Fresh skin is more sensitive to sun.
- Skip scrubs, acids and retinol for 2 days.
- Makeup goes on smoothly afterward, so this is a good visit before an event.
When to wait or choose something else
- A pacemaker, metal implants or pregnancy: skip the ultrasound option and tell us.
- Active breakouts or very sensitive skin: skip microdermabrasion and choose the enzyme peel.
- Sunburned or broken skin: wait until it settles.
- Dark spots or deeper texture: look at a PCA chemical peel.
