Our Services Faqs
What is the difference between the Signature Facial & the Ritual Custom Facial?
The main difference between these two facials is that the Ritual Custom Facial is 30 minutes longer and includes advanced techniques like lymphatic drainage and facial sculpting massage. It also incorporates machine modalities, optional dermaplaning, and access to more exclusive, high-performance products for a deeper, more transformative treatment.
What kind of Chemical Peels do you offer?
Skin Ritualist offers 3 levels of custom chemical peels depending on your specific skin condition. Level 1 and 2 peels are minimal to no-downtime (1-3 days of flaking), and the level 3 peel can be up to 2 weeks of peeling. A consultation is required to book a custom chemical peel OR you must be an existing client. You may be required to purchase products depending on the chosen used.
I suffer from acne, where is the best place to start?
The best place to start with acne is booking the Acne Relief Facial.
What is the downtime for SkinPen Microneedling?
After microneedling, you can expect your skin to look sunburned on the day of the treatment. By day 2, any redness typically fades to a light pink tone. From days 3 to 7, you may experience some tightness, flaking, and occasional itchiness as your skin begins to regenerate. Between days 7 and 14, you’ll start to notice a smoother, brighter complexion. If you’re treating scarring, it’s important to note that visible improvement can take up to 6 weeks as new collagen continues to rebuild beneath the surface.
Will you be able to recommend a skincare routine for me after my treatment?
Absolutely! At Skin Ritualist, we believe your at-home skincare routine is just as important—if not more so—than your in-studio treatments. After your facial, we’ll provide personalized product recommendations to support and enhance the progress we’ve made during your session.
What treatment should I book as a first time client?
First-time clients should book either the Ritual Custom Facial, Signature Facial, Acne Relief Facial, or the Dermaplaning Facial.
What should I should avoid before my treatment?
Prescription retinols, botox, filler, and sunburns should be avoided for 1-2 weeks before treatment. Botox specifically needs two weeks to settle.

How do you choose the right facial spa in Fort Lauderdale, FL?
Pick a licensed esthetician who does an intake, explains the plan, and keeps sanitation front and center. Look for reviews that mention consistent results and clear guidance, not only “relaxing.” Skin Ritualist (Susie Shemtov) focuses on customized facials based on your skin goals.
HydraFacial vs. PRP therapy: Which skin rejuvenation treatment is better?
HydraFacial-style treatments focus on deep cleansing, gentle exfoliation, and hydration in one visit. PRP involves a blood draw and is done in a medical setting, so it fits different needs. The better choice depends on your goals, downtime, and who will be performing it.
How are facial treatments customized to your face shape?
Most customization is based on your skin behavior and where you hold tension or puffiness, not your bone structure. Your esthetician can adjust massage techniques, product choices, and targeted steps like lymphatic drainage or buccal work.
What happens during a luxury facial session in Fort Lauderdale, FL?
It usually starts with a consult, then a thorough cleanse, exfoliation, and carefully chosen steps like light extractions, a mask, and finishing serums. At Skin Ritualist, the Signature Facial can include options like enzyme or brightening peel, oxygen infusion, and LED, based on your skin that day.
What is the average cost of microneedling in Fort Lauderdale, FL?
In Fort Lauderdale, many clinics price microneedling in the mid-hundreds per session, and it can rise with add-ons and larger treatment areas. Skin Ritualist lists microneedling starting at $400+, and some local clinics start around $500.
What is the ideal age to start microneedling treatments?
There is no “right age.” People start when texture, visible pores, acne marks, or early lines start bothering them, and when they are a good candidate. A quick consult helps match the timing to your skin and routine.
Is microneedling more effective than Botox for anti-aging?
They do different jobs. Botox is a prescription injectable for expression lines and must be done by a medical provider, while microneedling is often chosen for texture and overall tone. Some people use both, spaced out with guidance.
How long does microneedling last in the Fort Lauderdale, FL, climate?
Results vary by skin and aftercare, and most people keep results going with a series plus maintenance visits. In sunny, humid South Florida, sun protection matters even more during healing, so SPF habits play a big role.
Is microneedling covered by insurance in Fort Lauderdale, FL?
Most plans do not cover microneedling because it is usually considered cosmetic. If a provider documents a medical need, coverage may still be limited, so it’s best to check your specific policy.
What’s the difference between serum infusions and chemical peels?
Serum infusions focus on delivering ingredients for hydration, glow, and support after the skin is prepped. Chemical peels are designed to exfoliate and speed up skin turnover, and they can range from no-downtime to deeper options. Skin Ritualist offers both serum infusion-style treatments and custom peels.
How long do dermal fillers typically last?
Many fillers last around 6–12 months, and some products and placement areas can last longer, even up to about two years. Longevity depends on the product, the area treated, and how your body metabolizes it.
What is the average price of dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning commonly costs around $60–$150 in many markets, and some local providers list it at around $150. Price changes based on whether it’s standalone or bundled with a peel or mask.
What aftercare steps should you follow after dermaplaning?
Keep it gentle for a day or two: mild cleanser, simple moisturizer, and no scrubs or strong acids/retinoids. Wear broad-spectrum SPF daily, especially in Fort Lauderdale’s sun.
Is dermaplaning effective for fine lines and wrinkles?
Dermaplaning can make skin look smoother by removing surface buildup and “peach fuzz,” so fine texture can look more even. It won’t replace injectables or deeper resurfacing for etched-in lines, but it can boost glow and makeup laydown.
What are the potential side effects of dermaplaning?
Common side effects include temporary redness, sensitivity, and minor irritation. If the skin is reactive, it can feel a bit tight or look flushed for a short period, so aftercare matters.
