FAQs
How should I prepare for my appointment?
1
New Clients: Fill out health forms and schedule a 15-minute consultation to talk about your skin goals. Avoid exfoliating products, retinoids, tanning, and heavy sun exposure 7-10 days before your appointment.
I’ve never had a facial as a man. What should I know?’
2
Totally normal. Most of my male (and female!) clients are first-timers. We’ll talk about your skin and your goals, and I’ll walk you through every step. You’ll leave with healthier skin and a better understanding of how to take care of it.
What makes DST different?
3
We don’t follow rigid protocols or nickel-and-dime you with add-ons. Every session is built around what your skin actually needs that day. One price gets you clinical assessment, customized treatment, and honest product recommendations - not a sales pitch.
Most places lock you into preset menus. Here, the treatment adjusts to you.
How long should I wait after Botox or fillers
to come in?
4
Botox: Wait at least 2 weeks before scheduling skin treatments
Dermal Fillers: Wait 2-4 weeks before treatments involving pressure or massage.
What if I am not sure what I need? Or what kind of skin I have?
5
That’s exactly why I do what I do. You don’t need to know the “right” thing — I’ll help you figure it out. Whether you need a quick refresh, help with something specific, or a full reset, we’ll come up with the best plan for your skin.
Can I combine multiple treatments in one visit?
6
Yes, many treatments can be combined for optimal results. During your consultation, we’ll recommend a customized plan that may include multiple services in one session.
Should I shave before I come in?
7
I encourage men not shave 24 hours or more before a treatment to prevent irritation or inflammation.
What kind of products should I use after?
8
I’ll make straightforward, personalized recommendations based on your skin. No complicated routines or trendy products…just what works.
Do you offer gift certificates? Can I
buy a package?
9
Yes, we offer gift certificates that can be purchased over the phone or in-person.
We also offer treatment packages to help you maintain your skincare goals. Ask about options during your visit.
Do you charge a late fee? Cancellation fee?
10
Cancel at least 24 hours in advance to avoid charges. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the appointment will incur a 50% fee.
Arriving more than 15 minutes late will result in cancellation and a full charge.
