Custom Facials

Facials are the foundation of healthy skin and one of the most effective ways to maintain, support, and improve your skin’s overall health.

At Aesthetics by Katt, every facial is customized to your skin’s current condition, individual needs, and skincare goals. Rather than following a one-size-fits-all protocol, each treatment is thoughtfully tailored using professional-grade products, modalities, and techniques selected specifically for your skin.

Whether your goals include hydration, barrier repair, acne management, reducing congestion, improving skin texture, addressing sensitivity, supporting healthy aging, or simply maintaining healthy skin, your treatment will be designed to meet your skin where it is today.

As we work together over time, treatment recommendations may evolve based on your skin’s progress, concerns, lifestyle, and long-term goals. This personalized approach allows us to create a treatment plan that supports both immediate results and long-term skin health.

Your appointment may need to be postponed if you have:
• An active cold sore or herpes simplex outbreak
• Sunburned or compromised skin
• Open wounds, cuts, or abrasions in the treatment area
• Active skin infections or contagious conditions
• A recent facial surgery or cosmetic procedure that has not fully healed
• A fever or illness
For the best possible results, please consider any upcoming plans, events, or activities before scheduling your appointment.
• Avoid scheduling a facial within 24–48 hours before a beach day, pool day, outdoor sporting event, hiking trip, or prolonged sun exposure.
Freshly treated skin may be more sensitive to UV exposure and environmental stressors.
• If you plan to participate in a strenuous workout, hot yoga class, sauna session, steam room, or athletic event on the same day as your appointment, please let your esthetician know, as certain treatments may need to be modified.
• If you have a wedding, photoshoot, vacation, special event, or other important occasion, it is recommended that you schedule your facial 7–14 days in advance. This allows ample time for your skin to settle and ensures you’re looking your best.
• If you’ve recently returned from a vacation and experienced significant sun exposure, sunburn, or tanning, it may be necessary to wait until your skin has fully recovered before certain treatments can be performed safely.
• If you are planning Botox, dermal fillers, microneedling, laser treatments, or other cosmetic procedures, treatment timing may need to be adjusted.
Please discuss any upcoming procedures with your esthetician prior to booking.
• If this is your first facial or you are preparing for a major event, consider scheduling your appointment at least 1–2 weeks beforehand rather than the day before. This allows time for your skin to respond to treatment and minimizes the chance of unexpected sensitivity or purging.
• Avoid retinoids, prescription vitamin A products, exfoliating acids (AHAs/BHAs), and scrubs for 3–5 days prior to your appointment.

• Avoid waxing, threading, depilatory creams, or other forms of hair removal on the treatment area for 5–7 days before treatment.

• Limit excessive sun exposure and avoid arriving with sunburned skin.

• Please arrive with clean skin if possible, though makeup removal is included in your treatment.
Every facial at Aesthetics by Katt is customized to your skin’s condition, individual needs, and skincare goals.
Following a thorough skin analysis, your treatment may include a combination of professional modalities, corrective techniques, and professional skincare products selected specifically for your skin.
I proudly utilize a variety of professional skincare lines, including GlyMed Plus and Circadia as my primary treatment and homecare brands, along with select products from Le Mieux, Face Reality, and Mixi Skincare when appropriate.
Depending on your skin’s condition, unique needs, and skincare goals, your facial may incorporate a combination of the following modalities and techniques:
• Deep cleansing
• Professional exfoliation
• Gentle chemical peels
• Extractions
• Customized treatment masks
• Esthe Max Hydro Jelly masks
• Celluma LED Light Therapy
• High Frequency
• NuFACE Microcurrent Therapy
• Le Mieux Ionized Oxygen Infusion
• Facial massage
• Cold Globes
• Targeted corrective products and serums
• Professional finishing products, including moisturizer and SPF
Treatment recommendations and modalities may vary from visit to visit based on your skin’s current condition, progress, and treatment goals.
This individualized approach allows us to support both immediate concerns and long-term skin health while creating a relaxing and results-driven experience.
Most clients experience little to no downtime following a customized facial and are able to resume normal daily activities immediately.
Immediately following your treatment, your skin may appear brighter, smoother, calmer, and more hydrated.
Depending on the treatment performed, you may also experience:
• Mild redness, especially if extractions were performed. This typically subsides within a few hours but may last up to 24–48 hours in some individuals.
• Temporary sensitivity to active ingredients, heat, or sun exposure for 24–72 hours.
• Slight tightness or dryness, particularly if exfoliating products or gentle chemical peels were incorporated into your treatment.
• Small post-extraction blemishes may occasionally occur in congested areas and typically resolve within several days.
• Purging, if corrective or exfoliating products were used. Purging may appear as small breakouts in areas where you commonly experience congestion and can last several days to a few weeks as the skin adjusts.
• Increased hydration, radiance, and a smoother skin texture immediately following treatment.
When Will I See Results?
Many clients notice healthier, more radiant-looking skin immediately after treatment. Continued improvement is often seen over the following days as hydration levels improve and inflammation decreases.
For corrective concerns such as acne, hyperpigmentation, and texture irregularities, the best results are typically achieved through a series of treatments combined with a consistent home care routine.
Your skin may be more sensitive following treatment.
For the next 24–48 hours:
• Avoid excessive heat, steam rooms, saunas, and strenuous exercise.
• Wear SPF 30+ daily and limit direct sun exposure.
• Avoid exfoliating products, retinoids, and active ingredients for several days.
• Keep skin hydrated with gentle, nourishing products.
• Avoid picking or touching the skin unnecessarily.
Follow any personalized recommendations provided during your appointment

Chemical peels

by Recommendation Only

Chemical peels are one of the most effective tools for addressing concerns such as acne, hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, texture irregularities, and signs of aging.

At Aesthetics by Katt, chemical peels are considered an advanced corrective treatment and are reserved for established clients whose skin has been properly assessed and prepared through professional treatments and home care recommendations.

Before performing a peel, your skin health, treatment history, lifestyle factors, and skincare routine will be evaluated to ensure a peel is both safe and beneficial. If a chemical peel is appropriate for your skin concerns and goals, it will be recommended as part of your customized treatment plan.

Once your skin has been properly prepared and a peel has been recommended, you will receive a private booking link for the specific peel protocol selected for your treatment plan. This allows each treatment to be customized to your skin’s needs while ensuring the safest and most effective outcome.

Chemical peels may need to be postponed, modified, or avoided if any of the following apply:
Skin-Related Contraindications

• Open wounds, cuts, abrasions, or broken skin

Not all contraindications prevent treatment entirely. In some cases, treatment may be modified or postponed until your skin is ready.
For the safest treatment and best possible results, please consider the following before scheduling:
• Chemical peels are not recommended within 7–14 days of a wedding, photoshoot, vacation, or special event, as temporary redness, dryness, flaking, or peeling may occur.
• Avoid scheduling a peel if you anticipate significant sun exposure, including beach trips, pool days, outdoor sporting events, hiking, or vacations within the following 7–14 days.
• If you have a strenuous workout, hot yoga class, sauna session, steam room visit, or athletic event planned on the same day as your treatment, you may wish to reschedule.
• If you are planning Botox, dermal fillers, laser treatments, microneedling, or other cosmetic procedures, treatment timing may need to be adjusted.
• If you have recently been sunburned or tanned, your skin may not be a suitable candidate for treatment until it has fully recovered.
To prepare your skin for treatment:
• Discontinue retinoids, retinols, tretinoin, and prescription vitamin A products for 5–7 days prior to treatment unless otherwise directed.
• Avoid exfoliating acids (AHAs, BHAs), benzoyl peroxide, scrubs, and other active ingredients for 5–7 days prior.
• Avoid waxing, threading, dermaplaning, laser treatments, and other forms of exfoliation in the treatment area for at least 7 days before treatment.
• Limit direct sun exposure and wear SPF daily.
• Inform your esthetician of any medications, recent procedures, allergies, or changes to your health history.
• Arrive with clean skin whenever possible, though a cleanse is included.
Your treatment will begin with a thorough skin analysis and professional double cleanse to remove makeup, sunscreen, oil, and surface debris.
Your skin will then be assessed to determine the most appropriate peel based on your skin condition, treatment history, tolerance, and skincare goals.
Depending on your treatment plan, your appointment may include:
• Thorough skin analysis
• Professional double cleanse
• Skin preparation and degreasing
• Professional chemical exfoliation
• Targeted corrective treatment products
• Celluma LED Light Therapy (when appropriate)
• Calming and restorative products
• Professional finishing products, including moisturizer and SPF
What Does a Chemical Peel Feel Like?
The sensation experienced during a chemical peel varies depending on the peel selected, your skin’s condition, and your individual sensitivity.
During treatment, it is normal to experience:
• Mild tingling
• Stinging
• Warmth or heat
• Temporary itching
• A mild to moderate burning sensation
These sensations are expected with many chemical peel protocols and are carefully monitored throughout your treatment.
To help maximize your comfort, a handheld fan may be used during the peel to help cool the skin and minimize heat sensations.
Most sensations are temporary and typically subside shortly after the peel is completed or neutralized.
While some discomfort is normal, treatment should remain tolerable and manageable throughout the service.
If at any time you experience significant discomfort, please communicate with your esthetician so your treatment can be appropriately adjusted.
Not all peels are designed to produce visible peeling, and not all peel protocols require the same post-treatment products.
Depending on the peel selected, your treatment may conclude with SPF only, while other protocols may include additional calming, hydrating, or restorative products to support the healing process.
Because chemical peels are considered an advanced corrective treatment, peel selection and strength are determined by your esthetician and may vary from visit to visit based on your skin’s condition, progress, tolerance, and overall treatment plan.
Every client’s response will vary depending on the peel selected, skin condition, and treatment goals.
Immediately following treatment, you may experience:
• Mild redness similar to a light sunburn
• Warmth or flushing
• Tightness
• Temporary sensitivity
• Dryness
Over the following days, you may experience:
• Flaking or peeling
• Increased dryness
• Temporary rough texture
• Mild itching during the healing process
• Increased sensitivity to sun exposure
• Brighter, smoother skin as cellular renewal occurs
Will I Peel?
Not necessarily.
Visible peeling is not required for a chemical peel to be effective. Some clients experience noticeable flaking while others experience little to no visible peeling. Both responses can be completely normal depending on the peel selected and your skin’s condition.
Is Purging Normal?
Clients who are acne-prone may experience temporary purging after treatment.
Purging occurs when underlying congestion is brought to the surface more quickly due to increased cell turnover. This may appear as small breakouts in areas where you commonly experience acne.
Purging is generally temporary and should gradually improve as the skin continues to heal and renew.
How Long Does Recovery Take?
Downtime varies depending on the peel selected. Some peels involve little to no visible peeling, while others may result in noticeable flaking or peeling for several days.
Most clients can resume normal daily activities immediately, though proper aftercare and sun protection are essential.
When Will I See Results?
Many clients notice brighter, smoother skin within 7–10 days. Improvements in acne, pigmentation, texture, and signs of aging are typically achieved through a series of treatments combined with a consistent home care routine.
Aftercare
Proper aftercare is essential for achieving optimal results and supporting the skin’s healing process following a chemical peel.
For the First 24–48 Hours
• Avoid strenuous exercise and excessive sweating.
• Avoid saunas, steam rooms, hot tubs, and prolonged heat exposure.
• Avoid touching, scratching, rubbing, or picking at the skin.
• Keep the skin hydrated using recommended products.
• Wear SPF 30+ daily and reapply as needed.
• Avoid swimming pools, chlorinated water, and ocean water.
• Avoid makeup if instructed by your esthetician.
Until Your Skin Has Fully Healed
• Do not pick, peel, or manually remove flaking skin.
• Avoid exfoliants, retinoids, acids, and active ingredients unless instructed otherwise.
• Avoid waxing, threading, dermaplaning, and hair removal in the treatment area.
• Limit direct sun exposure and wear protective sun protection measures.
• Continue using gentle, nourishing skincare products.
• Only use products recommended by your esthetician during the healing process. Introducing new products or active ingredients too soon may increase irritation, delay healing, or compromise your results.
• Follow all personalized post-treatment instructions provided by your esthetician.
What Is Normal During Healing?
During the healing process, you may experience:
• Dryness
• Tightness
• Flaking or peeling
• Mild itching
• Temporary sensitivity
• Mild redness
• Increased sensitivity to sun exposure
Healing timelines vary depending on the peel selected and your individual skin response.
Pigmentation Considerations
If you are being treated for pigmentation concerns, it is important to understand that existing pigmentation may temporarily appear darker before improving. As the skin renews itself, damaged pigment rises to the surface before it is naturally shed.
This is a normal part of the skin renewal process and does not necessarily indicate that pigmentation is worsening.
Consistent use of sunscreen and recommended home care products is essential for achieving the best possible outcome.
Why Is Aftercare So Important?
The healing process is just as important as the treatment itself. Failure to follow post-treatment instructions may increase the risk of:
• Irritation and inflammation
• Prolonged redness
• Excessive dryness and discomfort
• Delayed healing
• Breakouts
• Infection
• Compromised treatment results
• Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)
• Worsening or recurrence of existing pigmentation concerns
Freshly exfoliated skin is more vulnerable to environmental damage and UV exposure. Unprotected sun exposure following a peel may contribute to unwanted pigmentation, uneven skin tone, and delayed recovery.
Proper aftercare, home care compliance, and diligent sun protection help support healthy healing, protect your investment, and maximize the results of your treatment.

Korean Lash lifts

A Korean Lash Lift is an advanced lash enhancement treatment designed to lift, shape, and define your natural lashes while prioritizing lash health and integrity.

Unlike traditional lash lifts that often rely on stronger processing solutions and standardized techniques, Korean Lash Lifts utilize a more customized approach focused on precision, lash health, and beautiful, long-lasting results.

At Aesthetics by Katt, each lash lift is customized based on your natural lash length, lash health, eye shape, and desired outcome. Shield selection, processing times, and treatment techniques are carefully adjusted to create the most flattering lift possible while maintaining the integrity of your natural lashes.

A lash lift enhances your natural lashes by lifting them from the root, creating the appearance of longer, more visible lashes and a brighter, more open-eyed look. While a lash lift can create the illusion of added length, it does not physically add length, thickness, or volume to your natural lashes.

The result is beautifully lifted lashes that enhance your natural features while maintaining a soft, effortless appearance.

Please allow approximately 2 hours for your appointment.

A lash lift may need to be postponed or modified if any of the following apply:
Eye-Related Contraindications
• Active eye infection
• Stye
• Pink eye (conjunctivitis)
• Significant eye irritation or inflammation
• Excessive tearing
• Recent eye surgery
• Corneal injuries or eye trauma
Skin-Related Contraindications
• Active irritation, dermatitis, or infection around the eye area
• Open wounds or broken skin near the eyes
Additional Considerations
• Known allergies to lash lift ingredients
• Recent allergic reactions involving the eyes or surrounding skin
• Conditions that prevent the eyes from remaining comfortably closed during treatment
Not all contraindications permanently prevent treatment. In many cases, treatment may simply need to be postponed until the area has fully healed.
For the best results, please consider the following before scheduling:
• All lash extensions must be professionally removed prior to your appointment. Lash lifts cannot be performed on lashes with extensions attached.
• Lashes must remain dry for the first 24 hours following treatment.
If you plan on swimming, visiting the beach, using a sauna or steam room, participating in water activities, or engaging in activities that may cause excessive sweating, it may not be the best day to schedule your appointment.
• If you have an active eye infection, stye, pink eye, or eye irritation, please wait until symptoms have completely resolved before booking.
• If you have recently undergone eye surgery or medical procedures involving the eyes, physician clearance may be required.
• If you are planning a vacation, wedding, photoshoot, or special event, schedule your appointment 3–7 days beforehand whenever possible.
• Lash lifts work best on healthy natural lashes. Results may vary based on your natural lash length, density, growth cycle, and overall lash health.
• If you recently removed lash extensions, your natural lashes may need time to recover before receiving a lash lift.
To ensure the best possible lift:
• Arrive with clean lashes free of mascara, eyeliner, lash glue, strip lash adhesive, or eye makeup.
• Avoid waterproof mascara for at least 48 hours before your appointment.
• Remove contact lenses before treatment if possible.
• Inform your esthetician of any eye conditions, allergies, sensitivities, or recent procedures.
• Avoid curling your lashes on the day of your appointment.
• Avoid applying oils or heavy eye products around the lashes before treatment.
Your treatment begins with a thorough assessment of your natural lashes, eye shape, lash health, and desired results.
A shield will be selected based on your lash length, lash health, and lift goals. Your lashes will then be carefully isolated, positioned, and processed using professional Korean lash lift techniques designed to create a customized result.
Unlike a one-size-fits-all approach, processing times, shield selection, and treatment techniques are customized to your individual lashes to help create optimal results while maintaining lash integrity.
Depending on your individual needs, your appointment may include:
• Lash consultation and assessment
• Customized shield selection
• Detailed lash placement
• Professional lifting treatment
• Lash conditioning and nourishing products
What Does a Lash Lift Feel Like?
A Korean Lash Lift should be a comfortable and relaxing experience.
During treatment, you may experience:
• Eyes remaining closed for the duration of the service
• A slight sensation of products being applied to the lashes
• Mild temporary eye watering in some individuals
• Occasional awareness of the lifting solutions as they process
The treatment should never be painful. If you experience discomfort at any point, please notify your esthetician immediately.
Every Korean Lash Lift is customized to create the most flattering result while maintaining the health and integrity of your natural lashes.
Immediately following your appointment, your lashes may appear more lifted, defined, and noticeable. Because the lashes are lifted from the base, more of the natural lash becomes visible, creating a brighter, more open-eyed appearance.
During the first 24 hours, your lashes may continue to settle into their final shape as the lift fully sets.
What Results Can I Expect?
Results vary based on your natural lash length, density, growth cycle, and overall lash health. Most clients can expect:
• A more lifted lash appearance
• Increased visibility of their natural lashes
• A brighter, more awake appearance
• Reduced need for a lash curler
• Easier mascara application (if desired)
How Long Will Results Last?
Most clients enjoy results for approximately 6–8 weeks, though longevity varies based on individual lash growth cycles, lifestyle factors, and aftercare.
As your natural lashes shed and regrow, the lift will gradually soften and grow out naturally.
Will My Lashes Look Like Extensions?
No. A Korean Lash Lift enhances the lashes you already have and does not add artificial lashes, volume, or additional length.
Instead, the treatment works by lifting and reshaping your natural lashes to maximize their visibility and create the appearance of longer, more defined lashes.
Proper aftercare is essential for achieving optimal results and maximizing the longevity of your lash lift.
For the First 24 Hours
• Keep lashes completely dry.
• Avoid steam, saunas, swimming pools, hot tubs, and excessive sweating.
• Avoid rubbing, pulling, or touching the lashes.
• Avoid sleeping face down if possible.
• Avoid eye makeup and mascara.
• Avoid excessive heat exposure.
After the First 24 Hours
• Brush lashes daily with a clean spoolie.
• Be gentle when cleansing the eye area.
• Avoid waterproof mascara whenever possible.
• Avoid excessive rubbing or pulling of the lashes.
• A hydrating lash serum is recommended to help maintain the health, flexibility, and condition of your natural lashes between appointments.
• Aesthetics by Katt carries My Megu Lash Serum and also recommends Elleebana Elleeplex Advanced Aftercare Formula for ongoing lash hydration and maintenance.
• Follow any personalized recommendations provided by your esthetician.
Why Is Aftercare Important?
The first 24 hours are critical for allowing the lashes to fully set into their new shape.
Failure to follow aftercare instructions may impact curl retention, reduce longevity, and affect your overall results.
Proper aftercare helps maintain the health, hydration, and integrity of your natural lashes while maximizing the life of your lift.
Both Korean and traditional lash lifts are designed to enhance the appearance of the natural lashes, but they differ in their treatment approach, ingredients, level of customization, and overall result.
Traditional Lash Lift
• Often utilizes thioglycolate (TGA)-based formulations
• Typically follows a more standardized treatment process
• Frequently uses more curved shields or rods that create a noticeable curl
• Focuses primarily on creating curl and lift
Korean Lash Lift
• Commonly utilizes cysteamine-based or gentler lifting systems
• Emphasizes lash health and conditioning throughout the treatment
• Processing times and shield selection are customized to your individual lashes
• Often utilizes flatter shields that lift the lashes upward directly from the root rather than simply curling them back
• Creates the appearance of longer, more visible lashes by maximizing the visibility of your natural lash length
• Focuses on a refined, natural-looking result while prioritizing lash integrity
Both treatments can produce beautiful results. At Aesthetics by Katt, Korean Lash Lift techniques are used to deliver a highly customized experience that focuses on healthy, beautifully lifted lashes while enhancing the natural length and appearance of your lashes.
