Dermaplaning Facial in Millburn NJ

Most of our facials have no downtime - you can return to normal activities immediately. Some treatments like chemical peels may cause light peeling for 3-5 days, while others like lymphatic drainage or vitamin C facials leave you glowing instantly. We'll give you specific aftercare instructions for your chosen treatment.

Our facials use medical-grade products and advanced techniques that deliver dramatic, visible results rather than just relaxation. Our estheticians are highly trained in specialized treatments like lymphatic drainage, professional cupping, and chemical peels that most day spas don't offer. You'll see real improvements, not just temporary glow.

Yes, you can apply makeup immediately after most facials if needed. In fact, many clients find their makeup goes on smoother and looks better because their skin is so well-hydrated. We do recommend using SPF (which we provide) and avoiding harsh products for 24 hours to maximize your results.

Our expert estheticians will help you choose during your consultation, but here's a quick guide: dermaplaning for smooth texture, lymphatic drainage for puffiness, cupping for natural lifting, chemical peels for serious skin concerns, and vitamin C for brightening and anti-aging. When in doubt, book a consultation and we'll recommend the perfect treatment.

Your first visit begins with a thorough skin consultation where we analyze your skin type, discuss your concerns, and recommend the best treatment for your goals. Most facials take 60-75 minutes and include cleansing, treatment-specific steps, and finishing products. We'll explain each step so you know exactly what's happening and can relax completely.

For maintaining healthy, glowing skin, we recommend monthly facials. If you're targeting specific concerns like acne, dark spots, or fine lines, you might benefit from treatments every 2-3 weeks initially, then monthly for maintenance. Our estheticians will create a personalized treatment schedule during your consultation based on your skin type and goals.

Absolutely! We offer complimentary consultations where our estheticians analyze your skin and recommend the best treatment for your specific concerns and goals. This ensures you get exactly the results you're looking for without any guesswork.

We recommend booking 1-2 weeks in advance for regular appointments, though we often have same-day availability. For special events, book 3-5 days ahead to allow time for any minor post-treatment effects to settle.

Juvéderm pricing varies based on the number of syringes needed and treatment areas. Most clients need 1-2 syringes for lips, 2-4 syringes for cheeks, and 1-2 syringes for nasolabial folds. During your consultation, we'll provide exact pricing based on your specific treatment plan and goals. We offer various payment options to make treatment affordable.

Most people have minimal downtime and can return to work immediately. You might experience mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness at injection sites for 2-7 days. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 hours and following our specific aftercare instructions. Serious complications are extremely rare when performed by qualified practitioners.

You'll see immediate results that continue improving over 2 weeks as any swelling subsides and the filler settles naturally. Depending on the Juvéderm formula used and treatment area, results typically last 12-18 months for most areas, and up to 24 months for some formulations. Touch-up treatments can extend your results even longer.

We don't recommend Juvéderm if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, have active skin infections at injection sites, or severe allergies to hyaluronic acid. People taking blood thinners may have increased bruising risk. Our practitioners will review your medical history and current medications during consultation to ensure Juvéderm is safe for you.

Most clients rate the discomfort as minimal - similar to a small pinch. We use topical numbing cream before treatment, and Juvéderm contains lidocaine to further reduce any sensation. The needles are very fine, and the entire process is much more comfortable than most people expect. Any discomfort is brief and well-tolerated.

For maintaining healthy, glowing skin, we recommend monthly vitamin C facials. If you're targeting specific concerns like dark spots or dull skin, you might benefit from treatments every 2-3 weeks initially, then monthly for maintenance. Many clients get vitamin C facials before special events because the glow is immediate and photographs beautifully.

Vitamin C facials are actually one of the gentlest treatments we offer. We use stabilized forms of vitamin C that are much less likely to cause irritation than over-the-counter products. We also customize the concentration based on your skin sensitivity. Most clients with sensitive skin tolerate vitamin C facials beautifully and see great results without any redness or discomfort.

Absolutely! You can apply makeup immediately after your treatment if needed. In fact, many clients find their makeup goes on smoother and looks better because their skin is so well-hydrated and glowing. We do recommend using SPF (which we provide) and avoiding harsh products for 24 hours to maximize your results.

You'll see immediate brightening and glow right after your treatment that lasts 5-7 days. With regular treatments, you'll notice cumulative benefits like improved skin texture, reduced dark spots, and better overall skin health. The protective benefits continue working between treatments, helping prevent future damage and maintaining your results.

Professional vitamin C facials use much higher concentrations and more stable forms of vitamin C than what's available in retail products. We also use specialized application techniques and combine vitamin C with other active ingredients that enhance absorption and results. Plus, our professional-grade products penetrate deeper than anything you can buy over the counter.

Most people have 3-5 days of light peeling that looks like mild sunburn flaking. You can wear makeup after 24 hours and return to normal activities immediately. Avoid sun exposure and follow our aftercare routine. The peeling is actually a good sign - it means the treatment is working to reveal healthier skin underneath.

We don't recommend chemical peels if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, taking certain medications like Accutane, or have active skin infections. People with very sensitive skin conditions like eczema or rosacea need special consideration. We'll review your medical history and current skincare routine during consultation to ensure it's safe for you.

Most clients experience only mild tingling or a warm sensation during the peel application. The discomfort is temporary and much less than what people expect. We use techniques to minimize sensitivity and can adjust the treatment if you're uncomfortable. Any sensation stops immediately when we neutralize the peel.

Professional chemical peels use much stronger, medical-grade acids that penetrate deeper than anything available for home use. Our licensed estheticians can safely apply concentrations that would be dangerous for self-application. The results are dramatically more effective - professional peels can address serious skin concerns that at-home products simply can't touch.

You'll see initial improvements within 3-7 days as your skin begins peeling and revealing fresh layers underneath. For ongoing anti-aging benefits, we recommend peels every 4-6 weeks. For specific concerns like acne scars or deep sun damage, you might need a series of 3-4 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart for optimal results.

For immediate lifting before an event, one treatment works wonderfully. For long-term anti-aging benefits, we recommend starting with treatments every 2 weeks for 6-8 sessions, then monthly for maintenance. Some clients come every 3 weeks during their initial series to build up the lifting effects gradually.

You'll notice immediate lifting and firming right after your first treatment, plus a healthy glow from increased circulation. The results get even better over the next 24-48 hours as your facial tissues settle into their new lifted position. With regular treatments, the cumulative effects become more dramatic and longer-lasting.

Cupping uses gentle suction to lift tissues away from the underlying muscles, which creates different effects than traditional massage that presses down. This lifting action helps improve facial muscle tone, increases circulation more dramatically, and can create more noticeable firming results. It's like the difference between lifting weights and doing cardio - both are beneficial but work differently.

We don't recommend cupping if you have active breakouts, rosacea flare-ups, or very sensitive skin conditions. People with blood clotting disorders or who take blood thinners should consult their doctor first. If you've had recent cosmetic injections, we recommend waiting 2 weeks before cupping. We'll review your skin condition during consultation.

Facial cupping is much gentler than body cupping and shouldn't cause any pain or lasting marks. You might have slight redness immediately after treatment that fades within 30-60 minutes, similar to after a deep facial massage. We use specialized facial cups and adjust the suction to your comfort level - it should feel therapeutic and relaxing, not uncomfortable.

None at all. You can go right back to your normal activities, including wearing makeup. We actually recommend drinking extra water for the rest of the day to help flush out the toxins we've moved. Some people notice they need to use the bathroom more often for a few hours - that's totally normal and shows the treatment is working.

You'll see changes right away, but they get even better over the next day or two. Immediately after, you'll notice less puffiness and better facial definition. Within 24-48 hours, as your lymphatic system continues working more efficiently, the results become even more pronounced. Your skin will also have a healthy glow that can last up to a week.

For immediate results like reducing puffiness before an event, one treatment works great. For ongoing benefits and to train your lymphatic system, we recommend starting with treatments every 2 weeks for 6-8 weeks, then monthly for maintenance. Some clients come weekly during allergy season when they're dealing with extra facial swelling.

While it's safe for most people, we don't recommend it if you have active infections, fever, blood clots, or certain heart conditions. Pregnant women should wait until after delivery. If you've had lymph nodes removed or have lymphedema, we need to modify the technique. We'll go over your medical history during consultation to make sure it's right for you.

Not at all - it's actually one of the most relaxing treatments we offer. The pressure is very light and gentle, much softer than a regular massage. Most people find it so soothing they fall asleep during the treatment. If you've had surgery or are dealing with sinus issues, we can adjust the pressure to be even lighter.

We recommend dermaplaning facials every 3-4 weeks, which aligns with your skin's natural renewal cycle. This timing allows your skin to fully regenerate and ensures optimal results with each treatment.

Dermaplaning is safe for most skin types, including sensitive skin. However, it's not recommended if you have active acne, open wounds, or certain skin conditions. During your consultation, our esthetician will assess your skin to ensure dermaplaning is right for you.

No downtime at all! You can immediately return to your normal activities, apply makeup, and go about your day. Your skin may appear slightly pink for 30-60 minutes after treatment, which is completely normal and indicates healthy circulation.

Not at all! Most clients find dermaplaning very relaxing and compare it to a gentle facial massage. The surgical blade glides smoothly across your skin without any discomfort. You'll feel a light scraping sensation, but it's completely painless.

This is a common myth, but absolutely not true. Dermaplaning removes vellus hair (peach fuzz), which will grow back exactly the same texture and color as before. The hair may feel slightly blunter initially because it was cut straight across, but it will not become thicker or darker.

No, not when your treatment is performed by Dr. Menon. The 'frozen look' that people worry about is almost always the result of overly aggressive treatment, poor technique, or a one-size-fits-all approach – none of which occur at Menon Medispa. Dr. Menon's medical training and artistic eye allow her to precisely determine the optimal amount of Botox for each facial area, ensuring you maintain natural expressions while reducing unwanted lines. She uses strategic micro-dosing techniques that relax the muscles causing wrinkles while preserving the surrounding facial movements. Many patients are surprised by how subtle yet effective their results are – they still smile, frown, and express emotions naturally, but without the deep lines that previously formed. Friends and family typically notice you look more refreshed, well-rested, and youthful, but can't quite pinpoint why. Dr. Menon's philosophy is enhancement, not alteration, of your natural beauty.

When you arrive at Menon Medispa in Millburn for your Botox appointment, Dr. Menon will first discuss your goals and answer any questions. The actual treatment takes only 10-15 minutes. Using a very fine needle, Dr. Menon will make a series of small injections into the targeted muscles. Most patients describe the sensation as a brief pinch that subsides immediately. After treatment, you may notice tiny red dots at the injection sites, but these typically disappear within an hour. You'll be able to return to most normal activities immediately – many patients have Botox during their lunch break and return to work afterward. Dr. Menon recommends avoiding strenuous exercise, lying down flat, massaging the treated areas, or consuming alcohol for 24 hours post-treatment. You'll begin to notice results within 3-7 days, with maximum results visible after 14 days. Results typically last 3-4 months, though many patients find they can extend the time between treatments with regular maintenance sessions.

At Menon Medispa in Millburn, Botox is priced per unit, typically ranging from $14-15 per unit depending on your specific treatment needs. Most patients require between 20-50 units total, with different facial areas needing different amounts (for example, crow's feet usually require 10-15 units per side, while forehead lines may need 15-30 units total). During your consultation, Dr. Menon will assess your facial structure and concerns to determine the exact units needed and provide a transparent price quote before proceeding. We offer package pricing for multiple treatment areas and loyalty programs for returning clients that can reduce your overall investment. Most patients maintain their results with treatments every 3-4 months initially. However, with regular maintenance, many find they can gradually extend to 4-6 months between sessions as the muscles become conditioned to their relaxed state. Unlike some other providers, we never pressure you into unnecessary treatments or units – your customized plan will be based solely on your aesthetic goals and facial anatomy.

The primary difference is that at Menon Medispa, every Botox treatment is personally performed by Dr. Menon, MD herself – not by a nurse or physician assistant. This physician-level care ensures you receive the highest standard of medical expertise and precision with every injection. Dr. Menon combines her medical knowledge with an artistic approach, customizing each treatment plan to complement your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals. Unlike high-volume 'Botox mills' in the area that rush through appointments, we take time to understand your concerns and desired outcomes. Our patients consistently report more natural-looking results, with friends and colleagues noticing they look refreshed and well-rested without being able to tell they've had a cosmetic procedure. We also prioritize your comfort before, during, and after treatment with comprehensive support and follow-up care not typically offered elsewhere in Millburn.

Botox is an FDA-approved injectable treatment made from a purified protein that temporarily relaxes the facial muscles responsible for wrinkles. It works by blocking nerve signals to specific muscles, preventing them from contracting and forming lines. When skillfully administered by Dr. Menon at our Millburn clinic, Botox reduces the appearance of forehead lines, crow's feet, frown lines, and other facial wrinkles without affecting your ability to make natural expressions. The treatment effectively addresses dynamic wrinkles (those caused by repeated facial movements) and can prevent deeper static wrinkles from forming over time. Dr. Menon's medical expertise ensures precise placement for optimal results, targeting only the muscles that contribute to unwanted lines while preserving your natural facial mobility.
