The treatment, explained
Start with an informed choice.
Monroe’s facial menu includes Hydrafacial options and selected add-ons such as dermaplaning or light-based care. Treatment steps and suitability differ. Hydrafacial combines cleansing and exfoliation with extraction and hydration steps; the exact package should be confirmed when booking. [1]

Your visit
Know what to expect.
Before your visit
Tell the team about sensitivity, rosacea, eczema, active breakouts, allergies, pregnancy or breastfeeding and recent peels or laser treatments. A gentler plan may be more suitable than combining many active treatments.
Build your plan
Ask which facial option fits your concern, what is included, the appointment length and the full price. Discuss add-ons separately so you understand their purpose and any additional risk or recovery.
After treatment
Follow your individual instructions about products, exfoliation and sun exposure. If you are preparing for an event, mention the date and any history of reacting to new products.
Suitability & risks
Care starts with a clear conversation.
Facials can cause irritation or sensitivity. Dermaplaning can cause cuts, infection or scarring, while light treatments have their own precautions. “Noninvasive” does not mean every option is appropriate for every skin condition. [2], [3]
Ask about the exact product or device, the provider’s qualifications, alternatives, and the follow-up plan. Individual outcomes and recovery vary.

Your questions
Facials FAQs
Open a question to read the answer.
Which facial should I book if I am unsure?
Contact Monroe with your main concern and current skin-care routine. The team can help you arrange an assessment and explain the available facial options and what each includes.
What is the difference between Hydrafacial packages?
Packages may include different boosters or additional steps. Confirm the current Signature, Deluxe or Platinum inclusions, appointment time and price directly with Monroe before booking.
Can dermaplaning be added to a facial?
It may be considered after skin assessment. Dermaplaning removes surface skin cells and fine hair, but active irritation and other skin conditions can affect suitability.
Is red light therapy suitable for every facial client?
No. Photosensitivity, some medicines and skin conditions can affect suitability. Discuss the device and any needed eye protection before adding light therapy.
Can a facial replace treatment for acne or rosacea?
A facial is not a replacement for diagnosis or medical care. Persistent acne, rosacea or other ongoing symptoms may require a separate medical treatment plan.
