Benefits of a Facial
Facials offer numerous benefits for the skin, including deep cleansing that removes dirt, oil, and impurities, which helps to prevent acne and breakouts. They promote better circulation, leading to a healthier and more radiant complexion. Exfoliation during a facial removes dead skin cells, enhancing skin texture and tone while allowing for better absorption of skincare products. Facials also provide hydration, helping to maintain moisture balance and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Additionally, they can target specific skin concerns such as acne, hyperpigmentation, and aging signs through customized treatments. The relaxing nature of facials also reduces stress, which can have positive effects on overall skin health.

Facial Treatment
A facial treatment consists of a thorough cleansing of the skin. Depending on which facial you choose, most of our facials start with a light derma blading process to smoothen the skin, such as removing the layer of facial hair that often forms on the surface. The facial will clean the skin, followed by an exfoliation and steaming process, and will end with the application of a facial mask, a toner, and moisturizer. All patients will leave their appointment with SPF so the skin is protected from the sun. During the facial treatment, our aesthetician will often perform a gentle shoulder and chest massage while our patients relax during treatment. The average facial takes about 30 – 45 minutes to complete.
Facial Recovery and Results
Many of our dermatology patients experience some skin sensitivity after the facial process and report that it feels like a mild sunburn on the face. While many can return to their normal activities and reapply makeup immediately afterward, some patients will experience mild redness for a short period, which usually lasts 2 – 24 hours, and can be soothed with cold compressions.
Sunspots will darken after the facial treatment and naturally shed from the skin within 1 – 2 weeks. Skin tone will be more even and smooth, with less pronounced redness within a week after treatment. Blood vessels may disappear after treatment or appear darker and then fully or partially fade within 10 – 14 days.
