Not Your Typical Facial
SOKO’s Red Carpet Ready Facial is a signature, results-driven protocol designed for fast, polished improvement with thoughtful downtime. We start with dermaplaning to instantly smooth texture and boost product penetration, followed by a superficial chemical peel to refine and brighten. A curated hydro-jelly mask—with optional secret regenerative ingredient—calms and replenishes while you enjoy a relaxing décolletage massage. Then a gentle micro-pulse laser works beneath the surface to diffuse visible redness, address acne-causing bacteria, and stimulate collagen for a firmer, more toned look. We finish with advanced exosomes to support natural cellular renewal so skin appears clearer, brighter, and more refined in the days that follow.
Benefits & Who It’s For
- Instantly smoother feel & refined texture (dermaplane + gentle peel)
- Brighter, more even tone for a polished, photo-ready look
- Calmer-looking redness with micro-pulse laser support
- Helps manage breakout-prone skin (targets acne-causing bacteria)
- Supports collagen for a firmer, more refined appearance
- Thoughtfully low downtime — ideal for events and tight timelines
Results vary depending on patient and not guaranteed.

Candidacy & Safety
Great for many skin types seeking fast, polished results with thoughtful downtime.
We may postpone or customize if you have: active cold sores/open lesions, recent sunburn, recent isotretinoin, very recent waxing/peels, or are pregnant/nursing (certain steps may be deferred). Your provider will review your history and tailor the plan.
What to Expect
Appointment length is ususally around 1 hour and 3o minutes.
1
Before Treatment
- Come with clean skin if possible. Avoid retinoids and harsh exfoliants 3–5 days prior. Daily SPF recommended.
2
During Treatment
- You’ll feel smoothing from dermaplaning, a light “active” tingle with the peel, comfortable laser warmth (micro-pulse), then a soothing mask and exosome finish.
3
After Treatment
- Mild pinkness possible for a few hours. Very light flaking may occur with the peel. Skin typically looks smoother and brighter within a day! SPF is non-negotiable. Keep routine gentle for several days; we’ll send you home with clear aftercare.
Typical Course: 1 Session for event prep glow. 3–4 sessions spaced ~4 weeks apart for a longer term impact.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about IPL photofacials
How long is the appointment?
1 Hour and 30 Minutes
Downtime?
Most return to normal activities the same day. You may see mild pinkness for a few hours and light flaking from the peel.
When will I see results?
Many clients notice a smoother feel and brighter look within days; best results build over a series.
Is this safe for my skin tone—and what about summer/tanning?
Yes. We safely treat a wide range of skin tones (including deeper complexions) by customizing peel strength and micro-pulse laser settings. We’ll avoid treatment on actively tanned or sunburned skin (including recent self-tanner). For best results, plan to:
Skip tanning (beds + self-tanner) for 7–10 days before and after.
Limit heavy sun exposure for 1–2 weeks on either side of your visit.
Use broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily and keep aftercare gentle.
Summer is fine if you can be diligent with sun protection; if not, we’ll adjust timing or modify steps for extra safety.
Does it hurt?
Dermaplaning feels like gentle scraping; the peel may tingle; the micro-pulse laser feels warm. Most find it very tolerable and relaxing!
Can I book this right before an event?
Yes, it’s built for this! Ideally, schedule 4–5 days before big events to allow for peak glow and any potential light flaking to resolve.
Is it safe for breakout-prone or sensitive skin?
Yes—the laser will calm break-outs and your provider will choose gentle actives and mask options to support clarity and comfort.
What about after-care?
SPF daily, gentle cleanser, hydrate, avoid harsh actives for a few days. We’ll provide a simple plan.
