What Is A Custom Facial?
A custom facial is an elite skincare treatment meticulously designed to cater to the individuality of your skin. Unlike the one-size-fits-all facials, this type of facial treatment is tailored to your skin type, concerns, and goals.
It includes a symphony of personalized products, techniques, and technologies working together to enhance the natural beauty of your skin. It can include deep cleansing, exfoliation, massage, and the application of serums, masks, and moisturizers.
The process begins with a thorough consultation and skin analysis by our expert aestheticians. To create a custom regiment, we take into account factors such as different skin types, lifestyles, and specific concerns like acne-prone skin.
Our personalized facial treatments go beyond the surface, addressing not just the appearance but also how to achieve healthier skin. It’s an investment in yourself that can yield transformative, long-lasting results.
What Type Of Facial Should I Get?
With an abundance of options, choosing the right facial can sometimes feel overwhelming. But fret not, as our skilled aestheticians are here to guide you through the process. The choice of facial will depend on various factors, including your skin type, concerns, and goals.
Types Of Traditional Facials
Traditional facials have stood the test of time, providing classic care that leaves the skin looking refreshed and feeling fantastic. At SkinEthics Medspa, we have refined and perfected these treatments, combining them with modern techniques for an unmatched experience.
Here’s a walkthrough of the essential components of traditional facial services:
Cleanse + Exfoliate With Steam
This is the first and fundamental step in any facial treatment. Our skilled aestheticians use a gentle cleanser to remove impurities from the skin’s surface.
This is followed by exfoliation, where a mild scrub is used to slough off dead skin cells, allowing the skin to breathe. To open up the pores and to prepare the skin for the next steps, a gentle steam treatment is applied, ensuring a deep and effective cleanse.
Extract
Extraction is a critical phase in a facial where clogged pores are cleared. This step is particularly beneficial for those with blackheads or acne.
Our experts perform extractions with the utmost care, using sterilized tools to ensure that the skin is not harmed and the pores are thoroughly cleaned.
Masque + Massage
A facial masque is then applied to address specific skin concerns. From clay masks for oily skin to nourishing creams for dry skin, the masque is chosen based on your skin type.
Meanwhile, a blissful massage is performed to improve blood circulation and relax the facial muscles. This step is not just about skin health; it’s a blissful ode to serenity.
Hydration + Prep Skin
Post-mask, your skin is ready for hydration. A moisturizer is applied to lock in the nourishment and ensure the skin remains supple and smooth.
For Day
If your facial is during the day, a lightweight moisturizer with SPF is applied to protect your skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays. This step is crucial in preventing premature aging and maintaining the skin’s health.
For Night
For evening facials, a richer, more nourishing moisturizer is used to hydrate the skin. Additionally, specific serums or treatments may be applied to work their magic overnight, letting you wake up to rejuvenated and radiant skin.
Add-Ons for Facials
At SkinEthics Medspa, we believe in going the extra mile for your skin. While our personalized facials are comprehensive, you can elevate your experience and results with our exclusive add-ons.
Your expert aesthetician can guide you to the right add-ons for your skin. These enhancements allow you to target specific concerns, like acne facials, and indulge in a little extra pampering.
Other Types Of Facials
Beyond traditional facials, we also offer a selection of advanced treatments that utilize cutting-edge technology and techniques for transformative results.
Peels
Chemical peels are an effective way to deeply exfoliate the skin and address issues like acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and wrinkles. Our aestheticians will help you choose the right peel for your skin type, ranging from gentle to more intensive options.
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive procedure known for its ability to renew overall skin tone and texture. It involves gently sanding the skin to remove the outer layer, addressing concerns such as sun damage, wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, and other skin-related issues.
Dermafacial
The Dermafacial is a multi-step treatment that combines the science of dermaplaning and the art of a facial.
The treatment begins with dermaplaning to remove dead skin cells and peach fuzz, followed by a personalized facial tailored to your skin’s needs. The result is an exceptionally smooth, radiant, and revitalized complexion for many different skin types.
Why Facials Are So Important In Our Everyday Lives
Our skin is constantly exposed to pollutants, stress, and the natural aging process. Facials act as a reset button, helping to counter these effects and maintain a balanced complexion.
Regular facials support the skin’s natural functions and have cumulative benefits over time. Not only do they improve the appearance of the skin, but they also create a foundation for your daily skincare routine to be more effective.
It’s a form of self-care that leaves you feeling and looking refreshed, boosting your confidence and well-being.
Benefits Of Custom Facials
Custom facials offer an array of benefits tailored specifically to your skin’s needs and characteristics. You can enjoy these benefits when receiving your custom facial:
- Targeted Treatment: Custom facials are designed to target specific concerns such as acne, hyperpigmentation, or fine lines, making the treatment highly effective.
- Deep Cleansing: They provide a level of cleansing that is not achievable at home. This helps in minimizing pores, reducing acne and ensuring your skin remains glowing.
- Expert Advice: A custom facial is not just about the treatment. It’s also an opportunity to receive expert advice and recommendations for your skin from qualified aestheticians.
- Stress Relief: The relaxing ambiance and soothing touch during a facial can be incredibly therapeutic and can reduce stress levels.
Enhanced Skin: Regular custom facials contribute to maintaining skin health, improving texture, and ensuring your complexion is always at its best.
How To Prepare For A Custom Facial
Preparing for your custom facial is just as important as the facial itself. Here are some steps you can take to ensure your skin is ready for the treatment:
- Skin Care Routine: Maintain your regular skincare routine, but avoid any harsh scrubs or exfoliants a few days prior to your appointment.
- Hydration: Drink plenty of water leading up to your facial to ensure your skin is hydrated.
- Communication: Be ready to discuss your skin concerns, goals, and any allergies or sensitivities with your aesthetician.
- Sun Exposure: Minimize sun exposure and avoid tanning before your facial to reduce sensitivity.
What To Expect
When you arrive for your custom facial, expect a serene and welcoming environment. Your treatment will begin with a consultation where your esthetician will analyze your skin and discuss your concerns and goals.
The facial itself will be a relaxing experience, with various steps such as cleansing, exfoliating, extracting, and moisturizing. You’ll also receive expert advice on aftercare and products.
Custom Facial Procedure Overview
Wondering what exactly will happen during the facial itself? Here’s a general overview of the steps involved in a custom facial:
- Consultation and skin analysis
- Deep cleanse using products tailored to your skin type
- Exfoliation to remove dead skin cells
- Steam to open pores
- Extraction to clear clogged pores, if needed
- Application of serums and masks
- Facial massage to improve blood circulation
- Final hydration and application of sunscreen, if your facial is during the day
Recovery Process
The recovery process after a custom facial is minimal. You may experience slight redness or sensitivity, which should subside within a few hours.
It’s important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your aesthetician, which may include avoiding makeup and sun exposure for the rest of the day and applying recommended products.
Results Timeline
You’ll likely notice a radiant complexion immediately after your facial. However, the full benefits will continue to emerge over the next few days. With regular facial treatments, you can expect improved skin tone, texture, and appearance.
Before And After Results
The before and after results of a custom facial can be quite remarkable. From a brighter complexion and reduced pore size to smoother skin and a more even tone, the transformation is both visible and tangible.
At SkinEthics Medspa, we take pride in delivering results that not only enhance your appearance but also boost your confidence and well-being.
Cost Of A Custom Facial
At SkinEthics Medspa, we believe that investing in your skin is an investment in yourself. The cost of a custom facial can vary depending on the specific treatments and add-ons chosen.
Our expert estheticians are ready to provide a personalized consultation to understand your skin care goals and craft a tailor-made facial experience just for you. Plus, we’ll provide an estimated cost, so you can make an informed decision.
Recommended Skin Care Products For At Home Use
Maintaining a consistent skincare routine at home is essential to maximize the results of your custom facial. Here are some of the products we recommend for at-home use:
- Cleanser: A gentle cleanser suited to your skin type to remove impurities without stripping the skin’s natural oils.
- Toner: A balancing toner to restore the skin’s pH levels after cleansing.
- Exfoliant: A mild exfoliant to use once or twice a week for removing dead skin cells.
- Serum: A nourishing serum targeted at your specific skin concerns, such as hydration or anti-aging.
- Moisturizer: A daily moisturizer that locks in hydration and protects the skin.
- Sunscreen: A broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to protect your skin from UV damage.
Our aestheticians will provide personalized recommendations based on your skin type and concerns during your consultation.
Our Custom Facial Philosophy
We do not “do facials.” We design interventions. We read your skin like a mood ring with receipts. Shine that migrates. Tightness that snaps back. Texture that catches light in the worst way. Pores that look louder than your makeup. Redness that blooms on schedule. Dullness that makes you feel flat. We take the clues. We build the plan.
We start with calm because inflamed skin is a bad negotiator. We protect the barrier because a compromised barrier turns every active into a fight. Then we correct with precision, not bravado. The goal is not a one-time glow. The goal is a glow you can predict. A complexion that behaves. Skin that feels like it is finally on your side.
How We Personalize Every Step
Customization is not a garnish. It is the whole meal. We adjust pressure, pace, product texture, and technique so your skin feels guided, not pressured. We do not force outcomes. We earn them.
Dry and reactive? We choose comforting cleansers, gentle refinement, and deep replenishing layers. We prioritize softness. We protect comfort. We chase bounce.
Oily and congested? We clarify with intention. We clean thoroughly, extract thoughtfully, then finish light so your skin can breathe.
Uneven tone or roughness? We build a pathway toward brightness support and smooth texture, but we keep it controlled. We keep it safe. We keep it smart.
We also adapt mid-treatment. Skin talks. We listen. If your skin asks for less, we pivot. If it can handle more, we refine with care. That is the difference between a routine and a craft.
Our Skin Analysis Checklist
We ask the questions that change results. What have you used in the last two weeks? Retinoids? Acids? Scrubs? Prescription topicals? Any recent sun, waxing, laser, travel, or a sudden product haul? How is sleep? How is stress? How is water intake? How intense are workouts right now?
We factor in season, too. Winter can demand repair. Summer can demand clarity. Your skin is not a static type. It is a living system reacting to your life. So we build a facial that fits your reality, not an unrealistic routine you will abandon in five days.
Results That Stack Over Time
One visit can make you look refreshed quickly. Consistency changes the behavior of your skin. Congestion loosens its grip. Hydration stops swinging from parched to oily. Texture looks more polished. Fine lines soften in how they catch light. Your face starts to look rested even when your calendar is not.
We track what shifts. We adjust what needs adjusting. Your skin evolves, so we evolve the plan. One month we focus on calming. Next month we focus on refining. Then we go after tone. Progress is not one dramatic moment. It is a series of smart choices stacked until your skin cannot help but improve.
Smart Add-Ons That Make Sense
Add-ons should feel like precision, not pressure. We recommend enhancements only when they serve your goal and your skin can handle them comfortably. Some clients benefit from extra refining for a smoother finish. Others need soothing support that restores balance and quiets reactivity. We do not sell chaos. We do not pile on steps to impress you. If it will not move the needle, we skip it. Trust is part of the treatment.
Aftercare That Protects Your Results
A facial is a reset. Aftercare keeps the reset from unraveling. For the rest of the day, we often suggest no heavy makeup, no scorching heat, and no intense workouts. We keep cleansing gentle. We keep hydration barrier friendly. We keep sunscreen non-negotiable.
If extractions were performed, we reinforce the rule that protects everything: do not pick. No magnifying mirror battles. No “just this one.” We help you keep your routine realistic, too. Fewer products. Better choices. More consistency. That is how results stick.
