Facials

Avoid intense sun, excessive heat, sweating, exfoliants and heavy makeup for 24 hours. Follow the simple post-facial routine and product recommendations provided by your InnoVitale Spa esthetician.

For optimal skin health, we recommend professional facials every 4-6 weeks to match your skin's natural renewal cycle. If you're addressing specific concerns like acne or anti-aging, monthly treatments provide the best results. Our expert estheticians will create a personalized facial schedule after your service and better understands your needs. First-time clients often see dramatic improvements, then maintain with regular sessions. Same-day appointments available in St. Petersburg.

Your first facial includes a skin consultation, cleansing, exfoliation based on skin type and conditions, extractions if needed, a customized mask, and relaxing massage. Our expert estheticians are happy to explain each step and ensure your comfort throughout the 60-90 minute session. Expect glowing skin and personalized aftercare advice. Same-day appointments available.

Most of our facials take 60-90 minutes, depending on the treatment. Our Signature Facial is 60 minutes, while specialized treatments like Dermaplaning Deluxe is 80 minutes and our advanced Meon “Pause” Facial is 90 minutes. We respect your time and always start promptly. Same day scheduling is available for your convenience in the St. Petersburg area.

Some clients experience minor purging 24-48 hours after deep-cleansing treatments as impurities surface. This is normal and temporary, indicating the facial is working. True breakouts from facials are rare with professional treatments. Our expert estheticians customize treatments to minimize reactions and provide post-facial care instructions to ensure optimal results.

Before: Arrive makeup-free if possible, avoid retinoids 48 hours prior, and stay hydrated.

After: Skip makeup for 4-6 hours, avoid direct sun for 24 hours, and follow our personalized aftercare routine. We provide detailed pre and post-care instructions with every appointment. Our estheticians are always available for questions.

No, dermaplaning does not make hair grow back thicker or darker. This is a common myth. Hair texture and growth rate are determined by genetics and hormones, not shaving or dermaplaning. Our professional grade dermaplaning safely removes dead skin and vellus hair (peach fuzz) with a surgical scalpel revealing smoother, brighter skin. The hair grows back at its normal rate and texture.

Your esthetician will assess your skin and recommend a treatment tailored to acne, aging, dullness, dryness, sensitivity or hormonal changes using PCA and Dermalogica products.

Yes, when performed by trained professionals like our expert estheticians. Dermaplaning is actually gentler than many exfoliating treatments because it's mechanical, not chemical.
