What is the difference between a spa facial and corrective skincare?

While a traditional spa facial focuses on temporary relaxation and surface-level glow, corrective skincare focuses on changing the actual function and structure of the skin. At Skin Ritualist, my rituals use high-potency clinical ingredients and advanced modalities like Microneedling and Chemical Peels to treat root causes like chronic acne, scarring, and hyperpigmentation for long-term revision.

How many sessions will it take to see results for my acne or scarring?

Skincare is a journey, not a quick fix. While most clients notice a difference in texture and inflammation after their first Acne Clearing Ritual, significant revision of scarring or chronic acne typically requires a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart.

Is there downtime associated with Corrective Peels or Microneedling?

Downtime varies by treatment. For most Advanced Corrective Peels, you may experience light flaking for 3–5 days. For Microneedling (CIT), you might have mild redness similar to a sunburn for 24–48 hours.

Can I get a corrective treatment if I have an active breakout?

Absolutely. In fact, that is exactly what the Acne Clearing Ritual is for. Unlike generic facials that might irritate active lesions, my corrective approach uses targeted extractions and LED therapy to kill acne-causing bacteria without damaging the surrounding tissue.

Why should I choose a corrective specialist over a standard dermatologist?

While dermatologists are essential for medical diagnoses, a corrective specialist like Susie provides the intensive, hands-on treatment and frequent monitoring required for aesthetic skin revision, combining medical-grade results with personalized attention.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing. Incredible. Show stopping. If you are going to spend the money to get a facial definitely get it done with Susie and use all of her product recommendations.This is worth the investment. I have been going to her every 2-3 months for about two years now and my skin has completely transformed. On top of the incredible skin benefits and transformation, she provides a calming spa environment and I always feel relaxed and refreshed after.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been seeing Susie for almost 4 months now, and my facial appointment is always my favorite day of the month! I get the acne correction facial and have seen such an improvement with my overall breakouts and inflammation with my consistent monthly facials and using the home care she recommends. Susie is a kind, informative, helpful and proactive esthetician, I highly recommend you book with her!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a fellow skin professional there’s hardly anyone else I trust with my skin and very few people I’d recommend other than myself to clients. Susie has been and will always be one of my trusted recommendations. The before and afters of her clients speak for themselves but her haaaannndddds!!! Let me sing their praises, there are very few people properly performing massage and creating the lasting glow that comes from real lymphatic drainage techniques. Listen….run, don’t walk your skin will thank you!! Literally thank you Susie <3

I came to her with mild acne issues and post acne marks and after three sessions, combined with the products she recommended, I have seen a big difference in my skin. My skin looks so much better now thanks to her. I can’t recommend her enough!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My skin is head-over-heels in love with Susie, and so am I! I'm SO picky about who I let touch me—ESPECIALLY my face. My skin has become so sensitive in recent years, and I've suffered from a variety of different types of dermatitis and rosacea. Susie handles my skin with genuine care, and deep knowledgeability and intuition about what would best support it. I trust her, and she only continues to give me more reasons why I won't ever need another aesthie bestie!! I'm beyond grateful and cannot recommend her highly enough! Great playlists, healing conversations (or silence, she always checks in to see what you're feeling up for), bespoke facials customized specifically to your exact needs/goals, and she always goes above and beyond to make sure I understand everything so I can feel confident about my home care ritual. I feel so much better about myself and my physical appearance since Susie came into my life. It's amazing how when you feel good in your skin, it positively impacts every other area of your life, because it's {just a little} easier to show up as your best self. It's something that you just can't put a price on. Thank you Susie, from the bottom of my heart. Point blank: Don't sleep on Susie ya'll. Look at her plethora of glowing reviews! Honestly, this review barely scratches the surface of how amazing I think Susie and her facials are. My best advice is to find out for yourself...because you're worth it babe!!
