Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Jan Marini Retinol Facial.

This corrective facial addresses acne scars, age spots, enlarged pores, fine lines and wrinkles. Retinol speeds cell turnover to smooth texture and improve tone. It's ideal for sun-damaged, acne-prone, or aging skin, though a consultation determines suitability and strength.

Mild redness, flaking, or sensitivity can occur for a few days as skin renews. Most clients resume normal activities immediately, avoiding heavy exfoliation, intense sun exposure, and makeup initially. We provide aftercare and soothing products to minimize irritation.

Typically every 4–6 weeks for corrective results, with monthly sessions recommended initially. After a treatment series, maintenance appointments every 6–12 weeks help sustain improvements. Frequency may vary based on skin sensitivity and your customized skincare plan.

Some clients experience temporary redness, dryness, or peeling as retinol accelerates renewal. We start with controlled strengths and provide pre/post-care guidance to reduce irritation. If you have very sensitive skin or active rosacea, a patch test or alternative treatment may be recommended.

Follow your customized Jan Marini regimen: gentle cleanser, hydrating serum, and sunscreen daily. Avoid additional retinoids or strong exfoliants for at least a week. We'll provide product recommendations and step-by-step instructions to support healing and maximize results.

Initial texture and radiance improvements appear within 1–2 weeks, while significant reduction in scars, pigmentation, and wrinkles typically requires several treatments over 8–12 weeks. A personalized plan accelerates visible improvements and maintains long-term benefits.
