Choose Your Facial

Two treatments, one standard

Both are safe throughout pregnancy, postpartum, and nursing — so you're choosing the facial that fits your skin, not a schedule. Not sure which? We'll decide together at your visit.

The Renewal Facial

$175 · 60 Minutes

Gentle, hands-on care from first cleanse to final SPF: soft exfoliation, a soothing lymphatic massage for puffiness, a calming masque, and barrier-loving hydration. No machines, no actives — just an hour that gives something back.

Best for: hormonal sensitivity, dehydration, tired eyes, and new mothers who want their first hour alone in months. Nursing-safe throughout.
Book

Add Oxygen Rx  ·  $75
Circadia's Oxygen Rx generates a controlled flood of oxygen directly on the skin — brightening, calming redness, and boosting circulation, with no acids or actives involved. Available with either facial.

About The "Mask Of Pregnancy"

Melasma is common, hormonal, and manageable — and protection starts now.

Every treatment here ends with mineral-only SPF and an honest conversation about protecting your skin tone through pregnancy — with gentle, pregnancy-appropriate brightening built into your visit, not promised in a jar.

Good Questions

What mothers ask

Is hydrodermabrasion safe during pregnancy?
Yes — it's mechanical and water-based, which is exactly why it anchors these treatments. What makes many facials off-limits in pregnancy is the ingredients used to prep the skin, not the exfoliation itself. The HydroDiamond™ does that prep work with water and hyaluronic solution instead, and we skip electrical modalities entirely.
What exactly do you leave out?
Retinoids and all vitamin A derivatives, salicylic acid and strong peels, essential oils, and high frequency. Every product used in these treatments comes from a screened pregnancy-safe list — and you're welcome to see the full ingredient list of anything we use.
Should I check with my OB first?
You're always welcome to — and we're happy to share every product and step of your treatment plan with your provider. If you have a high-risk pregnancy or specific concerns, that conversation is a great idea.
How is the treatment bed set up for a bump?
Comfortably. After twenty weeks you won't lie flat — we use wedges and bolsters for an elevated or side-supported position, and build in whatever adjustments your body asks for that day.
Can I come while breastfeeding?
Yes — both facials are nursing-safe. The Renewal Facial was designed with the postpartum season in mind, and the Mama Glow HydroDiamond™ remains a safe choice throughout.
Which one should I book?
If your skin is congested, dull, or breaking out and you want visible clearing, book the Mama Glow HydroDiamond™. If you're exhausted, dehydrated, or simply want to be taken care of for an hour, book the Renewal Facial. Still torn? Book either — we'll adjust once I've seen your skin.
