Question 1

Which facial is right for me?

Accepted Answer

If this is your first visit or you are unsure what to choose, start with a Customized Facial. Arlene will review your concerns, current routine, and goals, then tailor the treatment and recommend appropriate next steps.

Question 2

Does dermaplaning make hair grow back thicker or darker?

Accepted Answer

No. Dermaplaning removes fine vellus hair at the surface of the skin. It does not change the hair follicle, hair color, thickness, or natural growth pattern.

Question 3

How does the Green Sea Peel work?

Accepted Answer

Green Sea Peel uses marine spicules to provide controlled exfoliation and support skin renewal. Clients may experience temporary prickling, dryness, or flaking. Suitability, preparation, expectations, and aftercare are reviewed before treatment.

Question 4

Who can book a Green Sea Peel?

Accepted Answer

Green Sea Peel is reserved for existing or approved clients because skin preparation, product use, sensitivity, and aftercare need to be reviewed first. New clients should begin with a Customized Facial unless directed otherwise.

Question 5

How often should I get a facial?

Accepted Answer

Many clients return every 4 to 6 weeks for maintenance, but the right schedule depends on your skin, treatment type, goals, home-care routine, and budget. Arlene can recommend a realistic schedule after evaluating your needs.

Question 6

What skincare products should I use at home?

Accepted Answer

Product recommendations depend on your skin, current routine, sensitivities, goals, and treatment plan. BARE SKND focuses on practical recommendations rather than assuming the most expensive product is automatically the best option.

Question 7

What should I stop using before a facial?

Accepted Answer

Some treatments require you to pause retinoids, exfoliating acids, or other sensitizing products. Follow the preparation instructions provided in Vagaro for the service you book, and contact BARE SKND before the appointment when you are uncertain.

Question 8

Can BARE SKND help with acne?

Accepted Answer

BARE SKND offers cosmetic facial care and education for acne-prone and congested skin. Services do not diagnose, cure, or replace medical acne treatment. Clients with persistent, painful, or medically concerning acne should consult a qualified healthcare professional.

Question 9

Where is BARE SKND located?
