The Facials File
A note on the file

Skin can't lie in the facial room.

Patients book facials for the same reasons people have booked them for decades. It's a wedding. It's a birthday. They've been invited somewhere they care about. They're in the bridal party at a friend's wedding. Their skin is dry, the way Melbourne air gets in autumn, and they want it to come back. Whatever they walk in saying, they want to leave with skin that's awake.

The room has a different conversation in mind. The minute the first product touches the skin, the truth surfaces. Whether the barrier can take the mask. Whether the skin needs steam, manual extraction, a peel, or none of those at this visit. What it can hold and what it can't.

The facial room is also where skin builds the strength it needs for the heavier work in the laser room. The patients whose skin tolerates the laser best are the ones who came for facials before the laser arrived.
