Lift & Sculpt Manual Facial — Care Guide

Arrive with clean, ideally makeup-free skin and come 5–10 minutes early for your consultation. Skip strong exfoliating acids and retinol for 1–2 days, avoid heavy sun exposure or tanning for 24–48 hours, and come well hydrated — hydrated tissue responds better to lymphatic drainage and sculpting massage. Tell your esthetician about any medications, allergies, recent dental work, jaw (TMJ) issues or skin conditions so the pressure and technique can be tailored safely.

No. Because the 120-minute treatment is performed entirely by hand — no machines, needles, lasers or peels — you leave with visibly lifted, de-puffed contours and can go straight to dinner or an event. Skin may look slightly flushed from the massage for an hour or so. We suggest skipping heavy makeup for about 24 hours and avoiding heat (sauna, hot yoga, hot showers) for 24–48 hours so the de-puffing holds.

For 24–48 hours avoid direct sun, heat, heavy makeup, alcohol (it works against the fluid drainage you just gained) and any picking or aggressive scrubbing. Hold strong actives such as retinol and exfoliating acids for 1–2 days, then reintroduce slowly. Do wear broad-spectrum SPF 30+ every morning — essential in Fort Myers — drink plenty of water, and sleep with your head slightly elevated the first night to keep puffiness down.

Every 3–4 weeks. Day 1 gives immediate sculpted definition, the muscle tone from the massage holds a soft lift through the first week, and, like training a muscle, repeated sessions build longer-lasting lift and firmness. Results are cosmetic and temporary, so a monthly rhythm maintains them. Packages save 20%, and the Glow ($69/mo), Radiance ($139/mo) and Luxe ($169/mo) memberships make consistent care easier. Before a wedding or photos, book 2–4 days ahead.

The Lift & Sculpt Manual Facial is 120 minutes for $210 and includes consultation, manual cleanse and warm prep, lymphatic drainage, kobido-inspired sculpting and lifting massage, a firming peptide mask, serums, hydration and SPF. Optional boosters are Galvanic Current ($35), Pore Vacuum & Atomizer ($35) and High-Frequency ($25). Pay securely online when you book — and life happens: cancel or reschedule free up to 24 hours before your visit, with an automatic refund. Every $1 you spend earns a Lumina Loyalty point. New clients save 20% on their first visit with code WELCOME20 at checkout.

It is a needle-free, no-downtime option for lifted, defined contours — but it is important to be clear about what it is. Lumina is a licensed-esthetician studio, not a medical spa: we do not offer injectables, lasers, microneedling, chemical peels or LED. The Lift & Sculpt Manual Facial uses lymphatic drainage, sculpting massage and peptides for cosmetic, temporary results that build with a series. If you want medical procedures, see a dermatologist or medical provider; many clients pair both.

Reach out if you notice lingering soreness along the jaw or neck beyond 24 hours, if redness does not fade within a few hours, or if you want help spacing sessions before an event date — we will count backwards from the big day with you. Questions about combining it with the Anti-Aging Firming Facial for compounded results are welcome too. Anything that worries you, even a little: reply to your confirmation email or message us online.
