Questions, answered

What is the best facial treatment in San Diego for my skin type?
There is no single best facial — the right one depends on your skin tone (Fitzpatrick I-VI), primary concern, and schedule. At KIAMO Skin, Kiki matches the modality to the skin on the day: HydraFacial Syndeo with AI skin analysis for maintenance and glow, Lira chemical peels at Fitzpatrick-calibrated concentrations for pigmentation and texture, DMK enzyme therapy for barrier repair, and dermaplaning for surface refinement. First-time clients start at $249 for consultation and treatment, which includes a skin analysis and recommendation.
How much does a facial cost in San Diego at KIAMO Skin?
Pricing depends on modality. Dermaplaning facials start at $199. Lira Chemical Peels range from $199-$299. DMK Enzyme Therapy starts at $279. HydraFacial is $259. First-time clients start at $249 for consultation and treatment. Monthly memberships from $199/month include one facial plus discounts on additional treatments. There are no hidden fees — pricing is published and confirmed at booking.
How long does a facial take, and how often should I get one?
Sessions at KIAMO Skin run 45-75 minutes depending on modality. HydraFacial Syndeo takes 45 minutes. Dermaplaning takes 45 minutes. DMK Enzyme Therapy takes 60-75 minutes. Lira Chemical Peels take 45-60 minutes. Most clients book monthly for maintenance; every 4-6 weeks is the typical cadence. For corrective plans addressing pigmentation or barrier damage, Kiki may recommend a series of treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
Is facial treatment safe for darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV-VI)?
Yes, when protocols are calibrated to the skin. Standard chemical peels and aggressive exfoliation can trigger post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in melanin-rich skin if applied at concentrations designed for lighter skin tones. KIAMO Skin uses treatments calibrated to every Fitzpatrick type I-VI, with special attention to preventing complications in darker skin. Kiki has 7+ years of experience treating the full spectrum of skin tones.
What is the difference between HydraFacial, a chemical peel, and dermaplaning?
HydraFacial Syndeo is a 45-minute medical-grade facial that cleanses, exfoliates, extracts, and hydrates in one session — gentlest of the three, zero downtime, safe for every skin tone. Lira Chemical Peels use calibrated acids (lactic, mandelic, TCA) to address pigmentation, texture, and tone — visible peeling for 3-5 days after treatment. Dermaplaning is physical exfoliation that removes the surface layer of dead skin and vellus hair — immediate smoothness, no downtime. Kiki recommends the modality that fits your concern, not a generic menu.
Can I get a facial if I have sensitive skin or rosacea?
Yes, with the right modality. DMK Enzyme Therapy is the gentlest corrective option for sensitive, reactive, or barrier-compromised skin — it rebuilds barrier function rather than stripping the skin. HydraFacial Syndeo also works for sensitive skin because the AI analysis calibrates pressure and serum selection. Kiki assesses your skin on the day and adjusts the treatment to avoid irritation.
What should I avoid after a facial in San Diego?
Avoid direct sun exposure for 24-48 hours after a chemical peel or DMK Enzyme Therapy — wear broad-spectrum SPF 50+ on top of any treatment-applied SPF. Avoid retinoids, vitamin A derivatives, and strong exfoliants for 3-5 days after a peel. Avoid heat exposure (saunas, hot yoga, prolonged cooking) for 48 hours after melasma-focused treatments. HydraFacial Syndeo has no downtime — you can return to normal activity immediately.
