EVERYTHING YOU MIGHT WANT TO KNOW BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT

Common Questions & Answers

Whether it’s your first treatment or you simply want to know more, this page covers some of the most common questions about treatments, appointments and what to expect during your visit to Elysimer Skin Studio.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions not answered in my FAQ’s.

 

“A calm experience starts with
knowing what to expect.”

Do I need to do anything before my appointment?

No prep needed, just arrive as you are. If possible, come makeup-free for facials, but it’s absolutely fine if not.

What actually happens during a facial/bacial/massage?

Prior to your treatment, I will go through everything step by step. For facials/bacials, expect cleansing, exfoliation, mask and massage. For massage, you’ll lie comfortably while areas are worked on based on your needs.

What if I feel nervous or awkward

Totally normal, especially if it’s your first time. Most clients feel this way initially and it usually fades within minutes. I will explain in your initial consultation that if you feel nervous or uncomfortable at any point, please let me know and I can adjust the treatment.

Do I have to shave before my massage?

This is not necessary.

What if I fall asleep during the treatment?

It happens all the time and is actually a compliment, you’re relaxed!

What should I wear?

For facials, I advise wearing a strappy top that can be tucked under your armpits. I will be working on your face and décolletage area.

For Bacials I will need access to your full back area, so whatever you feel comfortable in.

For Massage I will require access to arms, legs, back, neck and shoulders, but only one area at a time.

You will always be properly covered with towels or sheets (this is called draping) and only the area being treated is exposed.

Do I talk or not talk during the treatment?

It is entirely up to you, some clients enjoy a chat during the treatment, whilst others relax in silence.

How often should I have a treatment?

Facials/Bacials – This depends on your goals and can be discussed. Most clients come once a month.

Massage – This depends entirely on the client and can range from once a week to once a month.

 

What if I have sensitive skin or allergies?

Treatments can be adapted for most sensitive skin and allergies, but please let me know prior to your appointment.

I don't have a skincare routine is this a problem?

Not at all, we all live busy lives and I appreciated that self-care is very often not the top priority. My role is to support you and help you make slow and steady changes if required.

What if I don't know my skin type?

This is not a problem at all and can be discussed at your first consultation.

I am overwhelmed by all the different types of skincare

You are not alone! The skincare industry is incredibly overwhelming. I am here to help! I will advise on simple adjustment you can make to create a skincare routine. I never advise my clients to go out and buy lots of new products as this would not be healthy for you skin barrier. I usually advise one product at a time.
