FoundationalFacials
The Resonance Skin Method, expressed in three durations. Every Foundational begins with the same clinical foundation: thorough cleanse, active treatment, and INBAR+co formulations from our on-site lab in Corte Madera. The 30 is a focused reset for first visits and maintenance. The 60 is our recommended Foundational, layering Glow (LED) or Lift (Microcurrent) onto the protocol. The 90 delivers Glow and Lift together in a single signature session.
After your session
Deep-cleared, deeply hydrated skin. Visibly brighter, more refined. With Glow (LED radiance and tone) or Lift (microcurrent contour), or both. Cumulative improvement on a four to six week cadence.

What clients say
Foundational, as experienced.
My skin has never looked better. I come in every five weeks and the difference compounds. The 60 is exactly the right length for me.
I came in skeptical and left a regular. The Glow finish on the 60 is the closest thing I have found to a real result without injectables.
Frequently asked
Questions,answered.
The 60-minute Foundational is our recommended starting point and the most commonly booked. It includes the full Hydratech protocol plus your choice of Glow (LED) or Lift (Microcurrent), and is paced for clinical work without rushing. The 30-minute is best as a first introduction to the method, or as a maintenance step between deeper sessions, and focuses on the cleanse-and-hydrate foundation. The 90-minute layers Glow and Lift together for the most complete single-session result. If you are new to facials at Resonance, start with the 60.
Yes. The 60 and 90 layer cleanly with our Clinical Infusions ($98, no added time), Precision Peels ($45, no added time), and Targeted Technologies (from $100, plus 30 minutes). You can add these when booking in Boulevard, or discuss with your esthetician on the day. The full enhancement menu is on this page.
Glow finishes with LED Therapy: wavelengths that drive radiance, cellular repair, and an even tone. Lift uses Microcurrent: a sub-sensory electrical signal that tones the underlying facial muscles for a visibly refined contour through cheeks and jawline. The 90-minute Foundational delivers both, layered in sequence.
Skin renewal cycles roughly every 28 days. Most clients book every four to six weeks for cumulative improvement in tone, texture, and hydration.
Yes. The protocol is fully customised on the day. Hydratech is gentle and hydrating, and pressure, infusion intensity, and any added enhancements are calibrated to your skin's tolerance. If you have rosacea, eczema, or any active condition, please mention it at booking and we will match you with the right esthetician.
