Frequently Asked Questions:

 

What is the best facial for mature skin in Long Beach?

For mature skin, I recommend a customized facial that focuses on hydration, renewal, collagen support and improving the overall appearance of fine lines, pigmentation and dullness. At Demanew Skin Lab, your skin is evaluated first so your treatment can be customized to what your skin needs most.

​

How often should women over 40 get a facial?

For most women over 40, a professional facial every 4–6 weeks is a great way to support healthy, hydrated, glowing skin. Regular treatments also give us an opportunity to adjust your skincare routine as your skin changes.

​

What facial is best for dry, aging skin?

Dry, aging skin benefits from treatments that focus on deep hydration, nourishment and skin gentle resurfacing for renewal. The Oxygen GLOW, The Le Mieux Sculpt, Lift & GLOW, The Collagen GLOW & The Ultimate GLOW are the ideal facial options that are customized to meet your skin needs and will help restore a fresher, more radiant appearance and boost deep skin hydration.

 

What facial is best for hyperpigmentation and sun damage? For pigmentation and sun-damaged skin, I recommend The Mr. LuLu Double Peel GLOW facial which is a customized treatment designed to support skin renewal and brightening. Depending on your skin's condition and goals, your treatment may incorporate specialized exfoliation with targeted brightening ingredients. Home care is crucial to properly deal with this skin concern and we will discuss what you are currently using and what will need to be modified for you to see results in the long run along with creating a 6-month and 12-month plan for you.

 

How do I know which facial is right for my skin?

You don't have to figure it out on your own. If you're a first-time client, start with The Glow Facial, which includes a thorough skincare consultation to assess your skin needs and determine the best treatment approach for you. Also, I request that you bring in the skincare products you are currently using (or take pictures of them) and bring into your first facial appointment to have a professional assessment & review done. Allow an extra 30 minutes for your first facial at Demanew Skin Lab to complete in-take forms, perform a consultation and review your home care products. 

 

What is an exosome facial? An exosome facial is an advanced skin-renewal treatment that incorporates stem cell exosomes into a professional infusion facial to support the appearance of healthier, smoother and more radiant skin. The Collagen GLOW Facial is an exosome facial treatment designed for clients looking to elevate their skin-renewal goals and to help support the on going renewal of collagen stimulation in the skin as with age. Great for treating fine lines and acne scars. This is intended to be done in a series of 4-6 treatments at minimum every 6-8 weeks followed by occasional maintenance treatments based on your skin needs. Results will vary and professional home skincare products and daily SPF usage are non-negotiable. This is a great way to support your skin's health and radiance and can easily be incorporated into an 'every other' month treatment plan. 

 

What is dermaplaning? Dermaplaning is a gentle exfoliating treatment that removes surface buildup and fine facial vellus hair, leaving the skin feeling exceptionally smooth and looking more radiant. The Derma GLOW Facial combines dermaplaning with a customized facial experience leaving you with glass looking skin and will allow your makeup to perform & look better on your skin. This facial is not appropriate for anyone with active acne.

 

Can a facial help dull or dehydrated skin? Absolutely. Professional facials can help gently exfoliate away surface buildup while replenishing and hydrating the skin. It's important to get monthly facials to help your skin look its best and they will allow your home skincare products to work better. All facial treatments at Demanew Skin Lab are personalized & designed to leave the skin looking refreshed, hydrated and glowing.

 

What should I use at home between professional facials? Your home routine should be simple, consistent and customized to your current skin needs. I recommend a gentle cleanser, effective treatment products selected for your specific concerns, a moisturizer and daily broad-spectrum SPF. Your professional facial is also an opportunity to review and adjust your home regimen as your skin evolves over time. Keep in mind the products you used in your 20’s and 30’s won’t be the same products your skin will require for optimal skin health results in your 40’s and 50’s and beyond. This must be adjusted on an ongoing bases.

 

How should I prepare for my facial? Arrive with clean skin in comfortable clothing and avoid aggressive exfoliation or waxing a week before your appointment. No laser or injectable treatments 2 -3 weeks prior. Most importantly, let me know about any products, treatments or skin sensitivities that may affect your facial so your treatment can be adjusted appropriately. Please ensure you cancel your facial appointment 24 or more hours in advance if you come down with any illnesses to avoid losing your deposit. Arrive 5 minutes early.  

 

What should I expect during my facial at Demanew Skin Lab? Expect a private, relaxing facial experience designed around your skin's individual needs. I'll begin by discussing your skin concerns and goals, review your current skincare home regimen for optimization and follow with a customized luxury treatment designed to leave you feeling relaxed while helping your skin look healthier, smoother and more radiant. 

"Relaxation with Results" is my mantra!
