FAQ Clear Skin, Clear Answers

We understand that most skincare solutions are less than perfect. Spa facials, dermatology, at-home products and laser treatments can be expensive, time-consuming, confusing, and frustratingly ineffective. We started Silver Mirror to address those problems.

Silver Mirror was founded on one simple concept: great skin takes consistent upkeep. Just like going to the gym regularly, ongoing maintenance is essential to seeing results.

Our facials are fast and affordable, yet completely customized and above all, effective. In fact, our facials are not just facials, but results-driven treatments integrating the highest quality products and technologies.

After one visit, you’ll glow. Over time, you’ll achieve healthy, beautiful skin that lasts.

While we do not offer free consultations, a skin analysis is included at the beginning of your facial.  During the skin analysis, your esthetician will be able to speak through your specific skin concerns and guide you through a plan to overcome.

We recommend receiving skincare services every 2-4 weeks based on your skincare goals, skincare type, and esthetician recommendations. Here at Silver Mirror, we are firm believers in the power of regular skin maintenance and results-driven facial treatments. Consistent upkeep is the key to improved and beautiful skin!

We have special treatments for every season designed to help you deal with environmental conditions and any resulting skin problems you experience.

Silver Mirror facials are tailor-made for everyone: women, men and teens. We offer a simple, curated menu of services that directly address common skincare concerns including dryness, acne, fine lines and wrinkles, discoloration, and scarring. Our services are completely customizable depending on your unique skin care goals and needs.
Each treatment includes a skin analysis, deep cleansing combined with advanced LED therapy, extractions and serums to provide immediate benefits as well as long-term improvement – resulting in a more beautiful, clear and healthy complexion.
Combined with the right skincare products, receiving routine facials customized to your unique skin care needs will have lasting results.

We also offer variations of peels, hydrafacial, and microchanneling that can be booked in between facials to optimize your results based on your needs. 

We also offer add-ons that are designed to be combined with your facial to make your experience even more customized to your unique skin care goals and needs. 

The add-ons include: Dermaplaning, Gua Sha Massage, Microcurrent, Hydradermabrasion, Extra extractions, Custom jelly masks, Lip Plumb and Scrub, Eye Puff Minimizer, Neck Firming, and Antioxidant Peels.  

A 30-minute facial helps maintain healthy skin and is great for first-timers. The 50-minute facial targets specific skin issues and helps reach skincare goals.

A chemical peel involves the application of an acid to the skin to exfoliate and remove the outer layers. It helps improve skin texture and reduce wrinkles, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation while stimulating collagen production for a rejuvenated appearance.

No, add-ons are designed to enhance a facial and boost its results. However, they aren’t effective when used standalone.

The extra extractions include an ultrasonic tool that uses vibrational technology to enhance the efficiency of pore extraction.

The skin is constantly changing and sometimes unpredictable. However, our licensed estheticians will guide you through a safe and personalized sensitive skin facial to ensure your specific needs are met.

Procell is the gold standard for microchanneling, and it’s what we choose to use at Silver Mirror Facial spa.

The Procell device uses a microchanneling serum. This US based serum is a growth hormone harvested from women ages eighteen to twenty-four, and it stimulates the turnover of skin cells to reduce the renewal process from twenty-eight to fourteen days, resulting in beautiful, healthy skin at a faster pace. The Procell microchanneling downtime is about three to five days.

Microchanneling uses hundreds of thousands of microchannels to stimulate your skin’s natural exfoliation process. This helps reduce bacteria and acne scarring, triggers the formation of new collagen, promotes the healing of injured skin, and decreases inflammation and hyperpigmentation.

Microchanneling is mostly mistaken for microneedling, but there is a slight difference between these two beauty treatments.

These two procedures essentially possess the same intents and purposes, but the difference lies in the needle size: while microneedling usually involves a needle of 1.5-2 millimeters, microchanneling uses much smaller needles, which rarely go over .25 millimeters.

When used for microchanneling, these needles are applied to the skin in a precise, meticulous manner that creates micro channels in the skin.

Much like the pricks created from its sister treatment, these channels boost the skin’s natural healing process, which results in the formation of new collagen and elastin. After that, the skin is soothed using human-growth factor serums that help diminish the signs of scarring or aging with each additional treatment.

We use Procell nano sized needles that are .25mm.

Prior to microchanneling, you should not exfoliate or use retinol or tretinoin for 3 days before the appointment. You should also refrain from Botox two weeks prior to the appointment.

No, it is designed to lift, sculpt, and reduce inflammation of the face.

Based on the severity of hyperpigmentation and acne, we offer tailored solutions. We advise beginning with a facial and having an esthetician assess your skin. The subsequent steps may involve a brightening treatment, a deeper peel, and microchanneling. It may take 3-6 months to observe noticeable results.

Boosted potency and effectiveness can lead to quicker results.

Ensure your SPF is of adequate strength, ideally 30% or more.

Incorporate Vitamin C under your moisturizer in your morning and evening routines. It acts as an antioxidant to shield against free radicals, and it also assists in correcting hyperpigmentation and skin discoloration.

Keep makeup to a minimum, avoid exfoliation for three days, use a light moisturizer, and abstain from Botox for two weeks prior.

Retinol serves as a form of exfoliation, aiming to smooth skin texture and mitigate signs of aging. It should only be applied during your evening routine, up to a maximum of three times a week.

Stop all forms of exfoliation, including retinol, three days before your facial. Regular cleansers, serums, and moisturizers can be resumed after 24 hours. However, you should wait five days before restarting the use of retinols and exfoliators.

The decision depends on the individual’s skin type and their personal skincare goals.

We advise against combining acids at home unless they’re already mixed in the same product. It’s also not recommended to mix an acid and retinol on the same day. However, Vitamin C, Hyaluronic acid, and peptides can be combined safely.

We incorporate a wide array of masks in our facials, ranging from hyaluronic to gel-based and jelly masks.

While the UV rays are lower they are still present, and sunscreen offers protection against blue light and windburn as well.

Yes, an enzyme peel is a manual exfoliation method, typically derived from fruit. A chemical peel operates over multiple days, penetrating the lower skin layers to reach and reduce sebum production, thereby reducing breakouts.

We are strong believers in the importance of exfoliation in an effective skincare regimen. We recommend using gentler exfoliating methods (such as enzyme-based or acid-based exfoliants) over harsh facial scrubs. Scrubs harm skin by causing micro tears in the skin, which as a result will further dry out already dehydrated skin, cause increased oil production for already oily skin, and leave skin irritated and red.

We recommend adding active serums and/or treatments to your regimen in order to turn back the clock on aging skin. One of the most important products to add to your arsenal is retinol, a derivative of Vitamin A, which triggers cell renewal. Retinol can minimize fine lines and wrinkles, smooth skin texture, and reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation.

Other helpful anti-aging ingredients include peptides (which stimulate collagen in the skin), glycolic acid, hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and vitamin C.
