What Does a Facial Do?

Basic cleanup – This facial includes a steaming to open the pores and exfoliation process with the application of moisturizing cream to finish.

• Regular Facial – A step up from the basic cleanup, this includes a mask.

• Acne reduction – While the previous two methods are not recommended for people with acne, this treatment is designed to reduce excess oil on the skin to treat acne long term. It also includes cleansing, steaming and exfoliation but with methods that are more geared toward treating acne.

• Aromatherapy facial – This difference in this method is the addition of essential oils to face masks. This treatment has added therapeutic benefits and is a good option for someone wanting a full sensory relaxation from their facial experience.

• Anti-aging Facial – These treatments use microdermabrasion, glycolic acid and collagen to reduce wrinkling and sagging. This is a popular alternative to more invasive strategies such as botox treatment.

What happens during my Customized Facial?

We first take a look at your skin and have a consultation. During the consultation, you will get feedback from our professional aesthetician, who will not only listen to your concerns but also help you find the best plan for your skin. The customized facial includes:

1. Cleansing

We will  massage a cleanser into the face, neck, and décolletage to remove any traces of makeup and dirt. Using warm water paired with a facial sponge, cloth, or cotton pad, we will remove the cleanser, dry face, and evaluate skin. This step helps us better determine your skin type and what mask we will use later in the appointment. 

2. Exfoliation

We will buff away dead skin cells with an exfoliating cream or scrub and/or open up pores with steam. This step helps your skin absorb products better.

3. Extractions

This process is done to clear individual pores that have become clogged with excess oil or dead skin cells, which can form blackheads and acne.

4. Massage

A facial typically also includes a massage of the face to improve lymphatic drainage. You will be able to relax at this step

5. Masks and LED Light Therapy

We will apply a custom mask as one of the finishing steps of your facial. We will choose which mask to use depending on your skin. During your mask, we will also use LED Light Therapy, which helps improve circulation, accelerate tissue repair, kill acne bacteria, decrease inflammation, improve skin tone and texture. After your mask, we will apply a hydrating cream. 

How long does the service take?

Depending on each client, our custom facial will take about 60-90 minutes. 

How often should i get facial treatment?

Depends on you and your skin because everyone’s routine is different.

A major consideration to how frequent to schedule facials is know your skin type If you have facials because your skin is oily or acne prone, you’ll schedule them more often.

Skin with clogged pores, blackheads and acne benefit from monthly visits. As you see improvement, you can put your skin on a less-frequent schedule to control such breakouts.

But monthly visits aren’t just for acne. Those with clear skin can schedule monthly appointments as well.

If you suffer from sensitive skin, you may limit your facials to once every two months or whatever works best.
