About Facials

What Are Facials

Facials are professional treatments tailored to cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate the skin while addressing individual concerns like acne, dryness, or uneven skin tone. The treatment involves advanced skincare products and techniques such as steam, masks, and extractions to rejuvenate your skin, leaving it healthy and glowing.

What’s included

Facials rejuvenate your skin by deeply cleansing it, removing dead cells, and replenishing moisture and nutrients. Here's what a typical facial includes:

  • Cleansing & Exfoliation – Removes dead skin cells and surface impurities, prepping the skin for deeper treatment.

  • Water Peel – A gentle peel to loosen debris in pores without irritation.

  • Extractions (if needed): Removing blackheads and clogged pores. Uses a painless vacuum-like suction to remove blackheads and impurities from pores.

  • Massage: Promoting blood circulation for a radiant glow.

  • Vitamin Masks: Customizing hydrating or purifying masks to target concerns like dryness or acne.

  • LED Light Therapy (optional) – Some packages include LED to calm inflammation, boost collagen, and reduce redness.

  • Hydration/Boosters: Delivers serums packed with antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid to nourish and hydrate the skin.

Facials can be personalized based on your skin's needs, whether your focus is hydration, anti-aging, or acne treatment.

What to Expect

Facials are typically relaxing and rejuvenating. Here’s what happens:

  • Before Treatment: Your esthetician will assess your skin and discuss any concerns. Based on this, they will recommend the best facial for your skin type.

  • During Treatment: You’ll be lying comfortably while the esthetician performs each step, including cleansing, exfoliating, and applying a mask. Most facials last between 60 minutes.

  • After Treatment: Your skin may appear slightly red if extractions were performed, but this subsides quickly. Expect your skin to feel smoother and more hydrated. Your esthetician may also suggest a follow-up skincare routine.
