Frequently Asked Questions
-
Every skin journey at Grace Lunæ Skin begins with understanding your skin.
Your consultation allows us to explore your skin history, current routine, concerns and goals, while assessing your individual skin classification. From here, we can create a treatment and homecare plan that is truly bespoke to you.
If you choose the Consultation + Grace Lunæ Signature, your consultation is followed by your first tailored treatment, allowing us to begin working with your skin from your very first visit.
Starting this way ensures that any future treatments, including more advanced treatments, are appropriate for your skin and that your skin is properly prepared to achieve the best possible results.
If you choose the consultation only, there’s no pressure to book your treatment on the day. Your consultation gives us the opportunity to assess your skin, discuss your goals and create your personalised treatment plan. You’re welcome to take some time to consider your options. If you decide to proceed within 4 weeks, £25 of your consultation fee will be credited towards your recommended treatment or treatment course.

To ensure your treatment is both safe and suited to your skin and to avoid any unnecessary changes to your treatment on the day, we recommend the following before your appointment:
Avoid anti-wrinkle injections or dermal filler for 2 weeks.
Pause retinoids, such as retinol, for 5-7 days.
If using prescription tretinoin, please discontinue use for 2 weeks, unless otherwise advised by your prescribing clinician.
Avoid exfoliating acids, including AHAs, BHAs and PHAs, for 2–3 days.
Avoid waxing, threading or other hair removal on the treatment area for 24–48 hours.
Avoid excessive sun exposure and do not attend with sunburn.
Please let us know if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking prescription medication, or have recently undergone aesthetic or medical treatments, as this may affect or require us to adapt your treatment.
Please do not attend your appointment with an active cold sore. We recommend waiting at least 2 weeks after the cold sore has fully healed before having treatment.
Please do not attend your appointment if you have an active skin infection, open wound or lesion within the treatment area, as we may need to postpone your treatment until the skin has fully healed.
Please let us know if you are currently taking antibiotics or have recently completed a course, as this may affect your suitability for treatment and your appointment may need to be adapted or postponed.
If you are ever unsure, please get in touch before your appointment and we will be happy to advise.

Downtime varies depending on the treatment performed. Some treatments may cause temporary redness, dryness or mild peeling, while others require little to no downtime.
Your expected downtime will be discussed with you before treatment, and you’ll receive personalised aftercare advice to support your skin and help you achieve the best possible results.
-
At Grace Lunæ Skin, we carefully select professional skincare and advanced technologies based on their clinical evidence, safety and proven results.
Our treatments incorporate Nimue professional skincare, alongside advanced technologies including Exceed medical microneedling and Celluma LED light therapy.
Every product and technology we work with is chosen with purpose and incorporated into your treatment according to your individual skin needs and goals.
-
Yes. Homecare is an essential part of the Grace Lunæ approach, working alongside your in-clinic treatments to support progress, maintain results and create meaningful change in the way your skin functions.
As an authorised professional stockist of Nimue Skin Technology, we will guide you towards a personalised Nimue homecare routine based on your individual skin classification, concerns and goals. Where appropriate, products can be introduced gradually, allowing your skin to adjust and your routine to evolve as your skin progresses.
Every recommendation has a purpose, and you’ll receive guidance on exactly how and when to use your products to get the most from your treatment and homecare plan.
-
Skin changes gradually, so the best and most lasting results are achieved through consistency rather than a single appointment. While you may notice visible improvements following your first treatment, a course of treatments may be recommended to create progressive change and more effectively address concerns such as acne, pigmentation, scarring, fine lines and uneven skin texture.
Your recommended treatment plan and frequency will be tailored to your individual skin, concerns and goals, with realistic expectations discussed during your consultation.
-
Choosing the right treatment starts with understanding your skin. Every skin is different, which is why your journey begins with a consultation and a thorough assessment of your skin, concerns and goals.
From here, we’ll recommend the treatment or combination of treatments best suited to you. As your skin progresses, your treatment plan can evolve with it, ensuring we continue to work with what your skin needs at each stage of your journey.
-
Absolutely. Sensitive and rosacea-prone skin can still benefit from our treatments.
The Grace Lunæ Signature can be tailored to sensitive and reactive skin, with products, techniques and technologies carefully selected according to your skin’s current condition and individual needs.
Your treatment and homecare plan will focus on supporting the skin barrier, calming sensitivity and building greater skin resilience over time. If your skin is experiencing a significant active flare, we may recommend adapting or postponing treatment until the skin has settled.
If you’re unsure whether treatment is suitable for your skin, please get in touch and I’ll be happy to advise before booking.
