SKIN CARE FAQ

Getting Started

  • If you’re new, I recommend starting with the New Client Assessment + Facial. This allows me to assess your skin, understand your needs, and create a personalized treatment plan tailored specifically to you.

  • Your first visit includes a thorough consultation, skin analysis, and a customized treatment based on what your skin needs that day. You’ll also leave with guidance on treatments and home care to support your results.

  • You don’t need to figure that out on your own. Every treatment is customized, so booking a consultation facial ensures you’re getting exactly what your skin needs.

Skin Concerns + Approach

  • Yes - this is a strong focus in my studio. Hormonal changes can lead to dryness, sensitivity, breakouts, and pigmentation. Treatments are designed to support the skin barrier, improve hydration, and restore balance.

  • Absolutely. I specialize in treating sensitive and rosacea-prone skin using gentle, barrier-supportive treatments that reduce inflammation and strengthen the skin over time.

  • Yes, although my focus is more on adult skin, sensitivity, and long-term skin health. If you’re experiencing acne, I can create a customized plan to help clear and support your skin.

Treatments

  • Microneedling is one of the most effective treatments for improving skin texture, firmness, and overall skin quality. It works by stimulating collagen production, helping the skin become smoother, stronger, and more resilient over time.

  • A facial is a customized treatment that may include multiple modalities to support your skin. A chemical peel is a more targeted exfoliation treatment designed to improve concerns like pigmentation, texture, or breakouts.

  • Some treatments have little to no downtime, while others may involve a  couple days of redness or light peeling. I’ll always guide you on what to expect based on your treatment.

  • This depends on your skin and goals. Many clients come monthly for maintenance, while others follow a more targeted treatment plan. We’ll create a schedule that works for you.

Home Care + Results

  • Home care plays an important role in your results. In-studio treatments create change in the skin, but your daily routine is what supports and maintains that progress. I’ll recommend what makes sense for your skin - simple, effective, and tailored to you.

  • My goal is to guide you toward what will work best for your skin. If you already have products, I’m happy to review them and make thoughtful adjustments if needed.

Booking + Policies

  • I kindly ask for at least 48 hours’ notice for cancellations or changes. Appointments canceled within that window are subject to a fee. This helps protect appointment availability for all clients.

  • If you’re running late, your treatment may be shortened to stay on schedule. In some cases, the appointment may need to be rescheduled.

  • Appointments are reserved specifically for you and are not transferable.

Location + Studio

  • ROBiN SKIN STUDIO is located in Downtown Portland, inside the upstairs loft above Lucas Salon. When you enter, head straight back to the black-and-white staircase.

  • Yes - there is free parking available behind the studio for clients during their appointment. There is also paid street parking nearby, and the studio is one block from the MAX line.

  • The studio is located upstairs and is not ADA accessible.
