What To Expect During Your Facial
My approach to skincare is gradual and tailored for those committed to investing in treatments and products that truly suit their skin. My facials may not be relaxing; they are focused on educating you about your skin and using effective treatments that, while commonly accepted in the beauty industry, are not always safe or appropriate for melanin-rich complexions.
The spa bed at The Melanin Lab is designed to accommodate all heights and body types, and it can be adjusted to support clients with physical disabilities. I can also accommodate clients who use wheelchairs; however, I recommend contacting me directly beforehand to ensure you're informed about the space layout, parking availability, and bathroom accessibility.
The following treatments are either not performed or only minimally offered at The Melanin Lab.
-
Steam is not used at The Melanin Lab for the following since it leads to dehydration and can worsen hyperpigmentation.
-
Extractions are a common practice among estheticians but it can lead to damaging your skin, whether it's immediate or in the long run. I am more focused on creating a skincare routine for you to prevent the need for extractions to maintain your healthy skin barrier.
-
Massages are not included with your facial. The Melanin Lab is focused on treating your skin. Appointments are similar to dentist appointments and not a spa day.
