FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Booking an appointment
All bookings are taken through Direct Message on instagram, facebook or via our email (envyskincare@outlook.com), when booking an appointment please state as to whether you are a new customer or existing. This is because a new customer appointment will take more time due to full skin analysis and in depth discussion about current skin care and plan going forward. Before confirming your booking you will be sent any contraindications that may affect your treatment, please read over before confirming. If you are taking any medications please make us aware at the time of booking.
How long will my appointment last?
All appointments vary depending on treatment, skin condition and the individual. A new customer appointment will be longer due to information we need to gather along with a discussion about current skincare, expectations and side effects of treatment.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD TREATMENTS BE CARRIED OUT?
We recommend treatments should be carried out every 4 weeks, this is because the life cycle of the skin is around 28 days. Chemical peels can be done every 4 weeks or you can have a course of peels which is every 2 weeks across 2 months and this can be done twice a year. Dermaplaning can be done every 4 weeks and can also be combinded with Microneedling. Microneedling can be done every 4 weeks.
​
Do treatments hurt?
The pain of treatments depends on each individual clients pain threshold. Extractions to some can feel slighly uncomfortable however this gets a lot of dirt / blackheads out of pores so skin will feel clean and fresh. Dependant on the chemical peel, when applied this can feel hot, stingy and itchy, this is completley normal and our specialist will talk you through this throughout the treament. Microneedling can be uncomfortable but bearable, again our specialst will talking you through this throughout your treatment.

ARE ANY OF YOUR TREATMENTS SAFE DURING PREGNANCY?
Yes! If you are within your first trimester we can do a Envy Signature Facial, if you are after 12 weeks in your pregnancy you can also have our Luxury Dermaplaning. Each of these treatments include an Enzyme Peel (exfoliator) which is a non-abrasive peeling gel delivers instant results by efficiently removing dead skin cells whilst encouraging new cells to come to the surface, leaving skin looking clear, smooth and soft. Tests show that the Instant Painless Peel greatly improves skin texture and radiance without any of the down time associated with chemical peels. When gently massaged onto skin, the natural multi-action enzymes effectively peel and help uncover a fresh, new complexion without drying, irritating, or causing undue stress to the skin.
