Transforming Skin, Enhancing Lives

Discover My Free Modality List: Elevating Your Skincare Experience

Updated: Sep 30


Client receiving a superjections facial at skin alchemy hi

At Skin Alchemy HI, my goal has always been to create results-driven treatments that feel luxurious yet completely customized. Every facial is designed around what your skin truly needs that day, not what’s listed on a standard menu. One way I achieve this is by including certain modalities at no additional cost.


I don’t believe in charging extra for tools that are essential to achieving the best results. If your skin needs it and it is part of the modalities I offer, it is included automatically. This ensures every treatment is based on your skin’s unique needs rather than a list of upgrades.


Everything in my Free Modality List is included in all of my signature facials. Because specialty facials follow a specific protocol, there isn’t enough time to freely incorporate additional modalities the way I can in my signature customizable treatments.

My Free Modality List with Recommended Time:

Here’s a closer look at the free modalities I offer and the recommended time needed for each to deliver optimal results.

What Is the Free Modality List

The Free Modality List is a group of professional tools and techniques that I may incorporate into your facial when appropriate. These are included because they are part of my standard of care. Each treatment is customized, which means you may experience different modalities from one appointment to the next depending on how your skin responds over time.


Why I Don’t Charge Extra for These Modalities

In many spas these are sold as add-ons, but I see them as an essential part of corrective skin care. Charging separately for them would limit your results and create unnecessary decisions during your treatment. By including them when needed, I can ensure that you receive the best possible outcome every time you visit.



If you’d prefer to leave the planning to me, then don’t worry about choosing the modalities when filling out the intake forms. I’ll select the optimal combination of modalities tailored to your skin’s specific needs to maximize the benefits of your treatment. Just know that the more modalities you have with little time, the less relaxing your experience will be. So, if you still want a relaxing facial with multiple modalities, then it's best to extend your time with the add-on.


But if you have something specific in mind, here’s a tip:

Come to your facial with 3 to 4 specific modalities that you’re excited about. This way, I can adjust the protocol to focus on what matters most to you—whether that’s relaxation, facial massage, deep hydration, acne control, or anti-aging.


By letting me know your top picks, I can craft a personalized treatment plan that guarantees you leave with the results and treatments you want!
