Facial treatments are what Lotus views as a treatment geared towards providing relaxation while providing minimal care to address skin concerns. A couple of facial treatments could be required before moving ahead to skin corrective treatments.
Skin Corrective Treatments are treatments that are more specifically based on skin concerns that you are facing. Generally, these treatments would be required (but not necessary) to book as a series as these would provide not only cumulative results, but also help maintain said results.
The intake form and consultation would determine which treatment would be best for you.
Ah, what is nano or micro-needling? This is a question that comes up often, understandably so.
Nano-Needling or Nano-Infusion is when you use a device to infuse serums targeted for specific skin concerns. The tip is made of multiple silicone pyramid shaped "needles" that do not puncture or wound the skin. Therefore, no downtime is needed. The most you will feel is ticklish, especially around the nose, due to the vibrations of the pen/device. Nano-Infusion is perfect for EVERYBODY (even sensitive and rosacea skins)! Nano helps with all skin types and conditions, can be done weekly and more importantly, all year round, making this a perfect modality for all clients. The Goddess Treatment is the full service skin corrective treatment that you would book online, unless you would like to add on nano-infusion to any treatment, then you would choose the Illuminating Treatment under Add-Ons.
Micro-Needling or CIT (Collagen Induction Therapy) is a non-invasive treatment that helps correct skin concerns such as acne scarring, hyper pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles and elasticity. Micro-Needling utilizes a pen/device with a tip of fine needles (that are as thin as a strand of hair) to create microscopic "wounds" to the skin. CIT would be best suited for clients suffering from acne scarring, deep wrinkles, elasticity, stretch marks and pigmentation. This would typically require a series of treatments with 3-6 week intervals. With CIT, I would treat the downtime with the same effect of getting a chemical peel. Meaning, no heat, steam, or excessive exercise. SPF should be worn DAILY and no actives on the skin for about 5-7 days. Our CIT treatment is the Luxe Lotus Treatment II. Clients can NOT book this treatment unless it is recommended by Lotus.
Both of these treatments can treat an array of skin conditions and you can see results almost immediately with results even lasting up to 6 months. Both of these treatments can be used not only on the face, but also on various parts of the body!
This is such a good question! Series are a way to guarantee and lock in your specialized skincare plan and goals that you want to achieve. They are usually scheduled about 2-4 weeks apart in increments of 3, 6, or 9 series. Since these are customized to your individual needs, we would decide on how long or how many series you would need.
One thing to keep in mind is that series are a plan to get to a certain goal, and as we know, plans take time. Your skin concerns are NOT an easy, overnight fix.
With facial treatments (and some skin corrective treatments), you should see results immediately after the service is complete. You will experience and see more of a glow, an increase in hydration and a reduction of congestion. After 24 hours, you should see even more of an increase of results and they can typically last up to a week depending on the treatment.
The length of time to see results can lead to numerous factors. Not only do treatments play a huge part, but consistency. Consistently coming in for your treatments, and putting the work can lead to achieving results sometimes faster than usual. Also, home care. Home care is just as important as coming in for your routine treatments. Not only will you see results, but you will be able to maintain the results.
Home care is what we call your homework and it generally involves products, regimens and making certain changes to reflect your skincare goals. In order for future treatments to be successful, home care is essential. Think of it this way, if you don't put in the work, you might not be successful in your skincare journey.

The Glo2Facial is a facial treatment from the brand Geneo.
The Glo2Facial is broken down in 3 steps:
1. Oxfoliation-gentle exfoliation with oxygen to give your skin a deep, invigorating cleanse, but also providing nutrients and hydration to the skin. The oxfoliation can be a little spicy, however, we can lower the intensity to your comfortability.
2. LUX (Lite Ultrasound Xperience)-aids in the absorption of the serum which contains ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, shea butter, and Vitamins B5 and E. This step helps smooth the skin and sets the skin up to penetrate and absorb the beneficial ingredients in the serum. With both steps 1 and 2 affecting the skin at the deepest level rather than just the outer layers only.
3. Detox-gentle massaging step that massages ingredients into the skin for long term benefits and results. It also provides light lymphatic drainage which detoxes the skin and improves blood flow.
This treatment is wonderful for ALL skin types and conditions!
