Lumina focuses on intentional, skin-first treatments rather than trends or over-aggressive protocols. Every service is customized, results-driven and rooted in skin biology supporting your skin’s barrier, longevity and natural radiance.

Avoiding sun exposure 2 weeks prior is highly recommended to ensure safety during the treatment. It is encouraged to pause certain actives like retinoids, tretinoin or physical exfoliants prior to your visit. Specific post care instructions will be sent to your email after your treatment.

Post-treatment responses vary, you will experience temporary redness, warmth, mild swelling, or light peeling. This is a normal part of the skin’s renewal process. You’ll receive clear post-care instructions to support healing and maximize results.

Dermaplaning gently removes dead skin cells and fine facial hair from the surface of the skin using a sterile blade. This instantly reveals smoother, brighter skin and allows your skincare products to absorb better and work more effectively. Makeup glides on like butter ensuring a smooth application. Dermaplaning will not make hair grow back thicker or darker. Hair grows back the same, just as soft. It’s a safe, painless treatment that leaves your skin feeling fresh, polished and glowing.

No, dermaplaning does not change your hair’s thickness, colour, or growth pattern. The hair removed during dermaplaning is fine vellus hair and it grows back the same texture and colour as before. Because the hair is cut straight across, it may feel slightly blunt as it grows in, but it does not become thicker or darker. Dermaplaning simply removes surface hair and dead skin to reveal smoother and brighter skin.

Microneedling is generally very well tolerated. Most clients describe the sensation as a light pressure or mild scratching rather than pain. Discomfort levels depend on the area being treated and the depth used, but treatments are always customized to your comfort and skin needs. 5% lidocaine is applied prior to treatment to relieve any discomfort.

TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) encourages skin renewal and improves texture, Salicylic Acid helps clear congestion and acne, Lactic Acid gently exfoliates while supporting hydration, Amino acids help support skin repair and elasticity, Vitamins (including B & C) brighten and strengthen the skin, GABA helps relax fine lines and support smoother skin, Arginine & Proline support healing and collagen production, Isopropyl Myristate (lipophilic phase) helps deliver ingredients evenly while protecting the skin barrier. This unique combination allows BioRePeel to resurface, hydrate and stimulate the skin at the same time, which is why there’s little to no downtime.

BioRePeel is designed to be safe and effective for most skin types, including sensitive, acne-prone, and uneven skin tone. Its unique formulation works on the surface and deeper layers of the skin to stimulate renewal without aggressive peeling or downtime. That said, every skin is different. Skin condition, barrier health, active breakouts, and current product use are always assessed before treatment. A consultation ensures BioRePeel is the right choice and applied in a way that best supports your skin.

A chemical peel works by gently removing the outer layer of dull, damaged skin so new, healthier skin can rise to the surface. Think of it like pressing “reset” on your skin. The peel helps, smooth rough texture, brighten uneven tone, clear congestion and breakouts, soften fine lines and stimulates fresh cell renewal. As your skin sheds, it’s encouraged to rebuild stronger, clearer and more radiant revealing that smooth, luminous glow underneath.

LED light therapy uses gentle, medical-grade light to support your skin’s natural healing and renewal process. Different light colors target different concerns: Red light helps boost collagen, improve elasticity, and calm inflammation. Blue light targets acne-causing bacteria. It’s completely painless, non-invasive and relaxing. There’s no heat and no downtime, just light working beneath the surface to help your skin repair, balance and glow. LED is often added after treatments because it calms the skin, reduces redness and enhances results.

Post-facial breakouts can happen because treatments bring congestion and impurities to the surface that were already under the skin. This is called purging, and it’s temporary. Facials increase circulation, exfoliate dead skin and stimulate renewal, which can cause clogged pores to clear out faster. This usually settles within a few days and is often a sign the skin is adjusting and detoxifying. True reactions or irritation are less common, which is why treatments are always customized to your skin.

You can return to light activity within 24–48 hours, but it’s best to avoid intense workouts, saunas, steam rooms, and prolonged sun exposure during this time. SPF is always essential, especially after treatments. Your skin is more sensitized and vulnerable to UV damage while it’s healing. As a general rule of thumb, try to minimize direct sun exposure for up to two weeks following advanced treatments and be diligent with daily sunscreen. This helps protect your results, prevent pigmentation and support healthy skin recovery.
