Frequently Asked Questions

What facial is best for my skin type?

At Ferial Esthetics, we start every facial with a skin consultation to understand your goals and sensitivities. The Ferial Signature Facial is our most popular all-around treatment, while the Glycolic Age Defense Facial targets fine lines, and the Acne Treatment Facial helps clarify congested skin.

What’s the difference between the Signature and Express Calm Facials?

The Signature Facial is a full-service, 60-minute treatment that deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates. The Express Calm Facial offers a 30-minute refresh for clients short on time — perfect for maintaining your glow between regular visits.

How often should I get a facial?

For best results, most clients visit every 4 to 6 weeks. This allows your skin to complete its renewal cycle and helps maintain lasting hydration and clarity.

Is microdermabrasion right for me?

Microdermabrasion gently buffs away dull surface cells to reveal smoother, brighter skin underneath. It’s ideal for improving uneven texture, fine lines, and mild acne scarring — with no downtime.

What is a Dermaplane Facial?

A Dermaplane Facial uses a fine surgical blade to remove dead skin and peach fuzz. The result is incredibly soft, smooth skin that allows makeup and skincare products to absorb more effectively.

Do you offer facials for teens?

Yes! Our Teen Facial (45 min) is designed specifically for younger skin. It focuses on gentle cleansing, light exfoliation, and education on proper skincare habits to help prevent future breakouts.

What’s included in a Lash Lift & Tint?

A Lash Lift & Tint enhances your natural lashes by curling and darkening them for a more defined look without extensions or mascara. Results typically last 6 to 8 weeks.

What’s the difference between a Lash Lift and Lash Extensions?

A Lash Lift works with your natural lashes for a subtle enhancement, while Eyelash Extensions add volume and length by applying individual lashes. Extensions require fills every few weeks to maintain fullness.

How long do Permanent Eyebrows and Eyeliner last?

Permanent makeup typically lasts 1 to 3 years, depending on your skin type, sun exposure, and aftercare. A touch-up session is recommended to maintain color and definition.

Do you offer Post-Mastectomy Micro-pigmentation (Nipple & Areola Tattooing)?

Yes. Ferial Aesthetics provides Post-Mastectomy Micro-pigmentation, also known as Nipple and Areola Tattooing, for breast cancer survivors. This restorative service recreates the appearance of natural areolas and nipples with gentle precision and artistry. Every session is handled with compassion, privacy, and respect, helping clients restore confidence and feel whole again.

Do you offer skincare for sensitive or oncology clients?

Yes. We specialize in Oncology Skin Care & Facials, which are safe, gentle treatments created for clients undergoing or recovering from cancer therapy. These facials restore hydration, comfort, and a sense of calm using non-irritating, soothing products.

How should I prepare for my appointment?

Please arrive with clean skin, free of makeup. If you’re booked for a facial or permanent makeup service, avoid retinol or exfoliating products for 48 hours prior. We’ll review your skincare routine and customize everything to your needs.
