Key Highlights

  • More Today Skincare and Wellness Studio blends targeted, results-driven facial treatments with a relaxed, judgment-free studio atmosphere, prioritizing customized plans and Korean-inspired gentle layering.
  • Owner Rebecca Velez expanded her Levitate Beauty beginnings into a full-service studio that offers tailored facials, dermaplaning, microcurrent, nano-infusion, chemical peels, body treatments and two tiered monthly memberships to keep clients consistent and accountable.

Introduction

Walk into More Today Skincare and Wellness Studio and the first thing that registers is the vibe: upbeat music instead of ambient spa soundscapes, clients in cozy clothes rather than wrapped in robes, and a friendly approach that frames skin care as practical care rather than a ritual of perfection. The studio, located in Astoria at 38-01 23rd Ave. #316, is the outgrowth of a personal journey. Rebecca Velez built her reputation sharing candid experiences with acne and skin healing on Levitate Beauty Blog, then moved from education to esthetic practice. Her goal: to demystify professional skin care and make measurable improvements accessible without judgment.

The business model pairs individualized facial protocols with targeted modalities—like dermaplaning, microcurrent and nano-infusion—and memberships designed to make regular appointments an attainable self-care habit. This piece examines how More Today translates a consumer-first ethos into service design, unpacks the studio’s key treatments and membership offerings, and explains why a studio that emphasizes comfort and consistency can produce better outcomes for a range of skin concerns.

From personal journey to neighborhood studio: Rebecca Velez’s trajectory

Velez started in beauty as a cosmetics buyer at Macy’s, but her influence grew through storytelling. On Levitate Beauty Blog she documented dealing with acne and learning evidence-informed routines, building an audience that trusted her practical voice. That trust carried into esthetician training: she earned her license and opened Levitate Beauty and Skin Studio in Astoria in 2022. The original studio emphasized approachability for clients who felt judged at traditional makeup counters or clinical settings.

A second chapter opened in October 2024, when Velez launched More Today Skincare and Wellness Studio in a larger space and added a team of three estheticians. The expansion signaled both business growth and a wider service vision: more specialized treatments, memberships that encourage consistency, and events that position the studio as a community hub. The studio’s aesthetic—laid-back, musically buoyant and friendly—reflects Velez’s consistent message: skincare should be effective and welcoming.

What “non-intimidating” looks like in practice

Many spas and medical aesthetics clinics signal professionalism with minimalist design, classical music and an emphasis on clinical distance. More Today intentionally breaks from that code. Clients arrive in their street clothes and are greeted in a setting where upbeat playlists play and conversation is encouraged. The conscious design choice reduces the cultural friction people often feel around skincare—especially those with acne, rosacea or other visible conditions who report anxiety about judgment.

The client intake process reinforces that tone. A detailed form plus a consult with an esthetician establishes a baseline and produces a personalized plan, but the conversation remains practical: what products a client already uses, what prior treatments have or haven’t worked, lifestyle considerations, and short- and long-term goals. Velez says the goal is not only to offer in-studio treatments but to equip each client with at-home steps that reinforce clinic results. No one leaves without a documented game plan.

Core services explained: facials, enhancements and body treatments

More Today positions “customized all-inclusive facials” at the center of its service menu. Each facial is assembled from a toolkit of modalities and enhancements chosen to address the client’s concerns. Understanding what those components do clarifies how tailored plans deliver specific effects.

  • Customized facials: These are not fixed, menu-driven facials but adaptive treatments shaped by consultation and intake information. They can prioritize hydration, exfoliation, pigmentation correction, acne management or anti-aging, and may combine manual techniques, professional serums and device-based enhancements.
  • Level Up: A focused facial designed to target pronounced concerns—breakouts, dark spots and fine lines. It’s built for clients who want corrective results and likely includes active exfoliation or peels, concentrated serums, and hands-on extractions when appropriate.
  • Ultimate Glow: A longer service that blends targeted results with relaxation elements—a skin-first treatment for clients pursuing luminous skin while enjoying restorative time. The session length enables a more layered approach: longer mask times, additional modalities and attentive finishing steps.
  • Refresh: A maintenance facial that reinforces healthy skin basics and sustains prior improvements. Refresh sessions work well for clients with established routines who want to keep progress steady.
  • Dermaplaning: A manual exfoliation using a sterile blade to remove vellus hair and surface dead skin. Dermaplaning brightens the complexion, improves topical penetration, and creates a smoother canvas for makeup. Contraindications typically include active inflammatory acne and certain skin infections; a trained esthetician screens for these during consult.
  • Microcurrent: A low-level electrical stimulation that engages facial muscles and promotes toning effects. Microcurrent supports circulation, lymphatic drainage and may improve the appearance of firmness. It’s non-invasive and often paired with conductive gels.
  • Nano-infusion: A gentler alternative to microneedling that uses superfine channels to enhance transdermal delivery of serums without penetrating deeply enough to induce significant trauma. It boosts absorption of targeted actives—hydrators, peptides and brighteners—without downtime.
  • Chemical peels: Professional-strength exfoliation to accelerate cellular turnover, lighten hyperpigmentation and improve texture. Peels vary by strength and ingredient (such as glycols, acids like TCA or salicylic acid). A careful patch test and medical history review determine suitability.
  • Body treatments: The Sun and Moon Treatment (face and back) and a targeted Back treatment address skin concerns beyond the face. Back facials treat body acne, clogged pores and congestion using similar tools—extraction, chemical exfoliation and targeted masks.

Each modality carries benefits and specific contraindications. More Today’s approach prioritizes starting gentle—reflecting a Korean skincare influence—and stepping up intensity as the skin builds tolerance.

The philosophy behind the technique: Korean skincare meets evidence-based esthetics

Velez integrates a Korean skincare philosophy into the studio’s protocols. Central principles of that approach include layered, gentle hydrating steps, consistent protection (notably sunscreen), and prioritizing barrier health rather than aggressive, one-off interventions. Korean routines often emphasize prevention and nourishment: consistent hydration, gentle exfoliation, and light active use rather than heavy, infrequent treatments that can provoke irritation.

Layering a serum and then an occlusive moisturizer, or pairing a hydrating ampoule with a restorative mask, improves barrier function and resilience. That foundation allows more corrective work—like peels or active serums—to be more effective and better tolerated. More Today melds this philosophy with esthetic treatments: a treatment plan might begin with a series of gentle monthly facials focused on barrier repair and hydration before introducing higher-strength peels or in-office actives.

This calibrated progression reduces the risk of adverse reactions and sets up durable results. The studio’s intake and follow-up strategy—documented game plans and homecare education—anchors clinical work in daily routines. When clients understand why a product or sequence matters, adherence improves and so do outcomes.

Why monthly consistency matters: the membership model

Getting a facial once in a while can deliver a pleasing, temporary result. For structural change—reduced hyperpigmentation, fewer inflammatory breakouts, improved texture—consistency matters. More Today offers two membership tiers designed to make monthly professional maintenance feasible:

  • Level Up Membership: One 60-minute Level Up facial per month, plus 10% off products, additional facials, back treatments and peels.
  • Ultimate Glow Membership: One 90-minute Ultimate Glow facial per month, plus 15% off products, additional facials, back treatments and peels.

Memberships address two common barriers: cost and inertia. By locking in a predictable appointment the client is held accountable to regular maintenance and gains the cumulative benefit of progressive treatments. Product discounts reinforce a connection between in-office work and at-home maintenance.

Real-world impact: Treating acne or pigmentary concerns requires both in-office interventions and consistent topical routines. Consider a client who has monthly Level Up facials and a home regimen prescribed by an esthetician. Over several months, visible reductions in active breakouts and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation accumulate more reliably than with sporadic single-session visits. Memberships consolidate that process, reduce the cognitive load of booking each month, and foster a relationship between client and esthetician that improves personalized care.

Who benefits most from More Today’s approach

The studio’s model suits several client profiles well:

  • People with chronic acne who need tactical, sustained intervention combined with practical homecare.
  • Clients with sensitivity or rosacea who require gentle approaches and gradual escalation of actives.
  • Busy professionals and caregivers who respond better to scheduled self-care commitments.
  • Individuals seeking a less clinical, more social-friendly environment while receiving professional-grade skincare.
  • Anyone who wants results but dislikes prescriptive, lecture-style consultations.

Accessibility and nonjudgmental care are not just marketing; they change behavioral outcomes. Clients who feel accepted are more likely to return and to follow recommendations.

Safety, screening and contraindications

Device-based therapies and chemical peels require careful screening. More Today’s intake process captures medical history, medication use, recent procedures and skin sensitivity. Common contraindications include isotretinoin use within recent months for certain aggressive peels and device treatments, active herpes simplex or skin infections, and pregnancy for some actives. Estheticians also look for recent sunburn, ongoing use of strong exfoliants without tolerance, and other issues that increase risk of irritation.

A training emphasis for estheticians is appropriate client selection and escalation. Starting with gentler options avoids unnecessary complications and builds trust. If a client requires dermatologic intervention—such as prescription acne medications or evaluation for severe rosacea—an esthetician coordinates care and refers to a board-certified dermatologist.

Treatment sequencing: how estheticians create a “game plan”

More Today’s consultations result in a documented plan that spans office sessions and homecare. A typical sequence might look like this:

  1. Baseline assessment and intake: Discuss medical history, prior treatments and current products; document goals.
  2. Initial cycle (months 1–3): Focus on barrier repair and controlled exfoliation. Monthly Level Up facials with gentle chemical exfoliants, hydration boosts (serums and masks), and targeted actives at tolerable concentrations.
  3. Corrective cycle (months 4–6): If tolerance is established, introduce higher-strength peels or more intensive enhancements such as microcurrent or nano-infusion with brightening or anti-aging serums.
  4. Maintenance (ongoing): Monthly Refresh or Ultimate Glow sessions to preserve improvements; adjust homecare seasonally and as needs change.

That sequence reflects practical dermatologic principles: establish tolerance and barrier integrity; treat with progressively stronger interventions; then maintain. It reduces risks and improves client adherence to both in-clinic and at-home regimens.

Common treatments in context: how they work and when to choose them

Understanding treatment mechanics helps a client choose wisely and set expectations.

  • Dermaplaning: Best for surface smoothness, improving serum penetration and removing peach fuzz. It’s not appropriate for active, inflamed acne or fungal skin issues. Expect immediate smoothness with minimal downtime; use sunscreen afterward as skin is more photosensitive.
  • Microcurrent: Ideal for clients seeking non-surgical lifting, tone improvement, and improved circulation. Sessions usually produce a lifted feeling and refreshed skin tone. Multiple sessions produce cumulative effects.
  • Nano-infusion: Useful for clients who want enhanced delivery of potent serums without needle-based trauma. It can be paired with hydrating agents, peptides for collagen stimulation or brightening compounds.
  • Chemical peels: Choose strength based on goals. Light peels (e.g., superficial glycolic or lactic acid) suit texture and mild pigmentation; medium peels address deeper pigment and texture; deep peels require medical oversight and longer recovery. Correct pre- and post-care mitigates risk—sun protection and gentle barrier support are essential.
  • Back treatments and body facials: Back acne (bacne) often responds to professional extraction, chemical exfoliation and topical regimens. The skin on the back is thicker and often requires a different approach than facial skin; treatments often include stronger mechanical or chemical exfoliation and targeted body washes or spot treatments for maintenance.

Evidence and results: what to expect clinically

No single treatment guarantees a specific percentage improvement; results depend on baseline skin condition, adherence to homecare, lifestyle factors, and appropriate treatment sequencing. Expect the following realistic outcomes when following a structured plan:

  • Acne-prone skin: Reduction in inflammatory lesions over months when combining in-office extraction/peels with anti-acne topical regimens and, when needed, medical prescriptions. Scarring and cystic acne may require dermatologic interventions beyond esthetic scope.
  • Hyperpigmentation: Gradual lightening over several months with consistent use of brightening actives, sunscreens and in-office chemical peels or nano-infusions.
  • Texture and radiance: Immediate brightness after professional exfoliation, with sustained improvements in texture after several consistent monthly treatments.
  • Firmness and tone: Microcurrent and lymphatic work can improve perceived firmness with repeated sessions; long-term structural change benefits from adjuncts like retinoids and in some cases, professional medical procedures.

Clear communication about timelines and measurable goals reduces disappointment. More Today’s intake form and documented game plans help clients measure progress against specific targets.

Practical aftercare and at-home routines

At-home care reinforces professional work. Estheticians typically recommend:

  • Daily sunscreen: Broad-spectrum SPF 30+ every morning, reapplying if outdoors for extended periods. Sunscreen prevents post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from worsening and protects results from peels and exfoliations.
  • Gentle cleanser: A pH-appropriate cleanser that removes oil and debris without stripping the barrier. Over-cleansing can provoke rebound oiliness or sensitivity.
  • Targeted serums: Ingredients like niacinamide for redness and barrier support, vitamin C for brightening (morning), and retinoids for cellular turnover (evening, introduced gradually).
  • Moisturizer: Barrier support with humectants (hyaluronic acid), emollients, and occlusives if needed, adjusted to skin type and season.
  • Avoidance window after peels: For a few days after stronger peels, clients should avoid intense sun exposure, hot baths, saunas and harsh active products until the skin re-epithelializes.

More Today emphasizes education: clients leave with a product and behavior roadmap tailored to their skin’s stage of treatment.

Pricing, memberships and value considerations

Professional facials and enhancements vary in price across markets. Members at More Today receive discounts—10% on Level Up tier and 15% on Ultimate Glow—plus the social value of scheduled appointments. Memberships reduce per-session costs and make monthly maintenance psychologically and financially easier to commit to.

Cost-benefit analysis depends on goals. For someone seeking occasional relaxation, a single Ultimate Glow may justify the cost. For clients pursuing sustained acne control or pigment correction, a membership that subsidizes repeated in-office work and product purchases will likely yield better return on investment.

The studio as a community space: events and private gatherings

More Today extends beyond individual appointments. Velez is planning quarterly self-care events, private gatherings and celebrations like birthday bookings. These events position the studio as a social self-care venue where learning and relaxation intersect. Private events can include guided at-home routines, product education, group treatments, or skincare Q&A sessions.

Community programming can demystify skin care for groups who might otherwise be reluctant to seek professional services. For example, a quarterly “acne-primer” workshop could explain basic triggers, effective over-the-counter ingredients and when to see a pro—turning anxiety into agency.

Case studies: hypothetical client trajectories

Two anonymized, composite examples illustrate typical trajectories for More Today clients.

Case A — Chronic inflammatory acne, 28-year-old:

  • Baseline: Frequent inflammatory lesions, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, previously tried OTC benzoyl peroxide and inconsistent topical regimes.
  • Plan: Month 1–3: Monthly Level Up facials focusing on gentle chemical exfoliation, extractions as needed, nano-infusion of calming/antimicrobial serums. Home: gentle cleanser, niacinamide serum, targeted benzoyl peroxide spot treatments at night, sunscreen.
  • Month 4–6: Evaluate response; add targeted peels or escalate actives if tolerance established. Consider dermatologist referral for systemic therapy if cystic disease persists.
  • Outcome at 6 months: Marked reduction in active lesions, smoother texture and diminishing post-inflammatory marks. Ongoing maintenance continues monthly or bi-monthly.

Case B — Brightening and maintenance, 40-year-old:

  • Baseline: Sun-induced pigmentation and dull texture, good baseline homecare but inconsistent clinic visits.
  • Plan: Begin with Ultimate Glow membership with monthly 90-minute sessions combining microcurrent, gentle peel, and nano-infusion of vitamin C/peptide serums. Home: daily vitamin C, nightly retinoid introduced slowly, strict sunscreen regimen.
  • Outcome at 4–6 months: Noticeable evenness of tone and improved radiance; skin texture smoother. Membership supports continued maintenance and product discounts.

These composites demonstrate how consistent, staged interventions yield measurable improvements.

Choosing an esthetician and what to look for

Selecting a practitioner matters as much as selecting the treatment. When evaluating an esthetician or studio, consider:

  • Licensing and training: Confirm that the practitioner holds an esthetician license and pursues ongoing education in modalities and ingredient safety.
  • Intake and documentation: A thorough intake form and a written plan indicate professionalism and continuity of care.
  • Transparency about contraindications and referrals: Good estheticians refer to dermatologists when conditions exceed the esthetic scope.
  • Before-and-after examples with context: Photos that include timelines and described adjunct homecare help set realistic expectations.
  • Client reviews and communication style: Look for studios that prioritize education and clear communication rather than hard-sell of products or unnaturally high frequency of invasive procedures.

More Today emphasizes trained staff and clear plans, meeting these criteria while cultivating a welcoming atmosphere.

Seasonality and adjusting routines

Skin needs change with seasons. Winter dryness, indoor heating and salty air encourage heavier moisturizers and barrier repair; summer demands lighter textures and stronger sun protection. Professional treatments must adjust as well:

  • Avoid aggressive peels preceding prolonged sun exposure in summer unless strict sun avoidance and high-SPF barriers are realistic.
  • Intensify barrier-repair phases in winter with richer moisturizers and hydrating masks.
  • Microcurrent and nano-infusion remain broadly season-agnostic but should be scheduled in consideration of clients’ planned events and travel.

An esthetician who integrates seasonal strategy into the plan reduces complication risks and maintains outcomes.

Technology, training and standards in modern esthetics

The esthetics field blends manual skills with device-based technologies. Microcurrent, radiofrequency, laser, and infused modalities each require protocol knowledge, device maintenance and understanding of skin physiology. Continuing education ensures estheticians can sequence treatments safely and optimize combinations.

Regulation varies by jurisdiction. Licensed estheticians are trained in skin assessment, sanitation and safe application of non-invasive modalities. Clinical technologies that penetrate deeper or induce thermal changes often require medical oversight or allied medical supervision. Clear disclosure of practitioner qualifications and device intended uses protects clients and builds trust.

The limits of esthetic care and when to refer

Estheticians provide powerful interventions within their scope: professional exfoliation, manual techniques, device-assisted treatments and product guidance. However, some conditions require medical diagnosis and prescription interventions:

  • Severe, nodulocystic acne often needs oral isotretinoin or systemic antibiotics managed by a dermatologist.
  • Suspected basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma or other medical lesions must be biopsied and treated medically.
  • Hormonal disorders affecting skin (e.g., PCOS) benefit from integrated medical evaluation.

Part of professional responsibility is recognizing limits and coordinating care. More Today’s model accounts for this, prioritizing client safety and referrals when needed.

Measuring success: objective and subjective markers

Success includes objective changes—reduced lesion counts, fewer pigmented spots, improved texture—and subjective outcomes—greater confidence, lower anxiety around skin, and improved adherence to routines. Social and psychological benefits of nonjudgmental care are measurable in client retention, session frequency and reported satisfaction.

Anecdotal and clinical evidence both demonstrate that when clients understand why a regimen exists and feel supported by a practitioner, results improve. Documentation of progress, photos and check-ins support this package of care.

Accessibility, inclusivity and the language of care

More Today’s intentionality around non-judgmental language and comfortable atmosphere addresses a deeper barrier to care: social vulnerability. People with visible conditions face stigma and sometimes avoid care settings that trigger shame. Cultivating a space where clients can “come as they are” reduces that burden and leads to better health-seeking behaviors.

The practice also normalizes transparent discussions about home routines, product budgets and incremental progress—an approach that broadens access beyond the few who can afford frequent, high-cost treatments.

Booking logistics and studio hours

More Today Skincare and Wellness Studio is open five days a week: Wednesdays and Thursdays from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m.; Fridays 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Saturdays 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Sundays 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The studio’s website and Instagram handle (@moretodayskincare) provide booking details and updates. Membership structures and private event bookings are available through their site.

Streamlined booking and predictable hours support the studio’s mission to integrate professional skincare into regular life rather than making it an occasional indulgence.

Final observations: results require strategy and human connection

Technical excellence, thoughtful sequencing and product knowledge underpin any successful esthetic practice. More Today adds an additional variable: human connection. That combination of clinical competence and cultural accessibility drives both adherence and outcomes. Clients seeking measurable improvement benefit from a partner who organizes care into manageable steps, provides clear education and creates a space to show up without performative pretenses.

For residents in Astoria and the wider Queens community who want professional-grade results without an intimidating vibe, More Today presents a blueprint: blend evidence-informed modalities with consistent monthly care, prioritize barrier health, and center client dignity in every appointment.

FAQ

Q: What is an esthetician and how do they differ from a dermatologist? A: An esthetician is a trained skincare professional licensed to perform non-medical, cosmetic treatments such as facials, exfoliation, extractions, light chemical peels and device-assisted therapies like microcurrent or nano-infusion. Dermatologists are medical doctors who diagnose and treat skin diseases, prescribe medications and perform surgical procedures. Estheticians handle aesthetic and maintenance care, while dermatologists manage medical diagnoses and prescription therapies. Both professions often collaborate when a client’s needs cross into medical territory.

Q: How often should I get a facial? A: Frequency depends on goals. For corrective work—acne, pigmentation or texture—monthly sessions are common because they align with the skin’s natural turnover cycle and allow progressive, monitored escalation. For maintenance, many clients choose monthly or bi-monthly sessions. Membership models make monthly visits more sustainable and consistent.

Q: Are treatments like dermaplaning and microcurrent safe? A: When performed by licensed, well-trained estheticians, these treatments are safe for appropriately screened clients. Dermaplaning is contraindicated for active inflammatory acne and certain infections. Microcurrent is non-invasive but requires screening for cardiac devices and specific medical conditions. A thorough intake and consultation at the studio determine safety and suitability.

Q: What is nano-infusion and how does it differ from microneedling? A: Nano-infusion uses superfine microchannels to facilitate topical serum penetration without the micro-injuries associated with microneedling. It enhances absorption of actives with minimal downtime. Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries to stimulate collagen production and may require more downtime and a medical-grade setting for deeper penetration. Nano-infusion suits clients seeking enhanced delivery without significant trauma.

Q: I have sensitive or rosacea-prone skin. Can I still get facials? A: Yes. A key element of More Today’s philosophy is starting gentle and progressing only as tolerance allows. The studio prioritizes barrier repair and gentle modalities—often rooted in Korean skincare principles—before introducing more active interventions. Consultations determine the right approach and sequence.

Q: What should I do before and after a chemical peel? A: Prior to a peel, avoid unprotected sun exposure, discontinue certain exfoliants if advised, and follow the esthetician’s pre-peel instructions. Aftercare typically includes gentle cleansing, hydration, strict sun protection and avoiding other active ingredients (like retinoids or strong vitamin C) for a specified period. The exact instructions depend on peel strength; follow your esthetician’s guidance.

Q: Are memberships worth it? A: For clients pursuing consistent improvement—especially for acne management or pigment correction—memberships often provide better value. They encourage routine, offer product discounts and create scheduled touchpoints where an esthetician can adjust the plan. If you seek occasional single-session relaxation, membership may be less essential.

Q: What if my condition needs medical treatment? A: A professional esthetician will recognize when a client needs medical evaluation and will refer to a dermatologist. Conditions like severe cystic acne, suspicious skin lesions or systemic issues require medical diagnosis and treatment beyond esthetic scope.

Q: How do I book and what are studio hours? A: More Today Skincare and Wellness Studio is open Wednesdays and Thursdays from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m.; Fridays 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Saturdays 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Sundays 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Visit their website or follow @moretodayskincare on Instagram for bookings and updates.

Q: Can the studio host private events? A: Yes. More Today is planning quarterly self-care events and hosts private gatherings, including birthday bookings and self-care nights. These events can combine education, product demos and group treatments.

Q: Where is the studio located? A: More Today Skincare and Wellness Studio is at 38-01 23rd Ave. #316 in Astoria, Queens. For more details on treatments, memberships and events, check their website or Instagram.
