Friendship Heights is ten minutes from our door. For a lot of people this is the appointment that fits between other things rather than the one the day is built around.
Your appointment

The appointment leaves room to discuss your goals, your current routine, sensitivity and any recent treatments before it begins. Your provider can explain the steps and say whether this is the right fit today.

Coming from Friendship Heights
Friendship Heights sits on the DC–Maryland line at the top of Wisconsin Avenue, and we are a short distance further into Chevy Chase. It is close enough that people book on a weekday lunch break, which is worth knowing when you pick a time.
If you are coming from work and going back to it, say so. An 80-minute appointment plus travel is most of a long lunch, and the provider would rather plan around a real constraint than run over one.
Book a HydraFacialWhat to expect in 80 minutes
The appointment is a cleanse, exfoliation, extraction and hydration sequence, done with a handpiece. Skin can look pink for an hour afterwards and there is no flaking phase.
Makeup afterwards is possible but is not what the provider will recommend. If you have to go back to a meeting, mention it and ask what is reasonable.
Going back to work
Say so. Skin can look pink for about an hour and the intensity can be set for it.
No package pressure
Nobody needs to commit to a course at a first appointment.

Good to know
Booking from Friendship Heights
Can I do this on a lunch break?
The treatment itself is 80 minutes, so account for that plus travel each way before you commit to it.
If time is tight, book the first appointment of the afternoon instead.
Will my face be red when I go back to the office?
Often slightly, for around an hour. It varies with skin and with how the appointment is set.
Tell the provider you are going back to work and the intensity can be adjusted.
How often do people come back?
That depends on your skin and your budget, and the provider will give you a straight answer rather than a package.
Nobody needs to commit to a schedule at the first appointment.
How long do I need to block out for a lunch-hour visit?
The shorter appointment plus the walk each way fits an hour if you book the middle of the day and are not coming from far. Ask for the shortest option when you book so nothing has to be cut.
Can I walk from the shops?
Yes. It is a short walk from the Friendship Heights end, which is why the lunch-hour booking works at all.
Will I look like I have just had something done?
Ask your provider to keep that in mind at the start. They will tell you what to expect before they begin, which is the point at which the plan can still change.
Can I go back into a meeting straight afterwards?
Many people do. If the meeting matters, say so when you arrive rather than afterwards, and your provider will take it into account.
Are there appointments before nine?
Early slots exist and go first. The booking page shows what is actually free, which is more reliable than asking in general terms.
Is it better to come at the start or the end of the working day?
Whichever leaves you less rushed. The end of the day means you are not watching the clock; the start means the schedule is running closest to time.
How often is too often?
That is a question for your provider rather than a number that holds for everyone. They will suggest an interval once they have seen your skin.
Should I book the same provider each time?
You can ask for the same person. Say so when you book — it is easier to arrange in advance than on the day.
I have a lunch reservation afterwards. Anything I should know?
Nothing about the appointment stops you eating afterwards. Leave a few minutes between the two so you are not leaving in a hurry.
Can I book online while I am on the way?
You can book online, but a same-hour slot is unlikely to be free. Booking the day before is the difference between an appointment and a wasted walk.
What if I am ten minutes late?
Call rather than hurry. Ten minutes usually means a slightly shorter appointment rather than a lost one, and knowing in advance lets the provider plan it.
Do you do anything for the neck as well?
Ask when you arrive. What is included depends on the option you booked, and your provider will tell you before starting.
Can I pay with a card on the day?
Yes. You can also settle when you book online, which is quicker on the way out.
Is it quieter on certain days?
Mid-week is quieter than either end of the week. If you want an unhurried appointment, that is where to look first.
Can I combine it with something else without adding much time?
Ask when you book. Some combinations add very little, others change the length considerably, and it is a question worth settling before the day.
What should I do for the rest of the day?
Nothing in particular. Your provider will mention anything worth avoiding before you leave.
How do I book a lunch-hour appointment?
Use the button on this page and choose the shortest option in the middle of the day. Booking the day before is what makes the hour work.
