1. Classic European (Deep Cleansing) Facial

What it is: A multi-step treatment including cleansing, exfoliation, extractions, massage, mask, and hydration. Best for maintaining skin health and addressing mild congestion.

Best for: All skin types, especially normal to combination skin.

How often: Every 4–6 weeks to maintain balance and prevent buildup.

2. Hydrating Facial

What it is: Focuses on restoring moisture using hyaluronic acid, soothing botanicals, and calming masks.

Best for: Dry, dehydrated, and sensitive skin.

How often: Every 3–6 weeks, depending on seasonal needs and dryness levels.

3. Chemical Peels (Light to Medium)

What it is: Controlled application of acids (like glycolic, lactic, or salicylic) to exfoliate dead cells and stimulate renewal.

Best for: Dull skin, uneven tone, mild acne scars, and fine lines. Sensitive skin may need gentler formulations.

How often: Light peels can be done every 3–4 weeks; medium peels require longer recovery and are spaced further apart (3–6 months).

4. Microdermabrasion

What it is: Mechanical exfoliation that removes surface dead skin cells to improve texture and reduce superficial discoloration.

Best for: Rough texture, enlarged pores, and mild sun damage. Not ideal for very sensitive or inflamed acne-prone skin.

How often: Every 3–6 weeks for a series of treatments, then maintenance every 2–3 months.

5. Microneedling

What it is: Controlled micro-injuries that stimulate collagen and elastin production, often used for acne scars, fine lines, and skin tightening.

Best for: Mature skin, acne-scarred skin, and anyone wanting increased firmness or improved texture. Sensitive or inflamed skin should be evaluated first.

How often: Typically a series of 3–6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Maintenance every 6–12 months.

6. LED Light Therapy

What it is: Low-level light from LEDs to reduce inflammation, stimulate collagen, and fight acne-causing bacteria.

Best for: Acne-prone, inflamed, or aging skin when used as a complement to other treatments.

How often: Can be done weekly or as part of a facial series; maintenance sessions monthly or biweekly depending on goals.

7. Dermaplaning

What it is: Manual exfoliation that removes vellus hair and dead skin cells for an instantly smooth surface and better product penetration.

Best for: Dull or textured skin; not recommended for active acne or very sensitive, rosacea-prone skin.

How often: Every 3–6 weeks depending on hair regrowth and exfoliation needs.

8. Oxygen & Infusion Facials

What it is: Delivers serums and oxygen to the surface of the skin to brighten and hydrate immediately.

Best for: Dull, dehydrated, or event-ready skin. Great as a quick boost before special occasions.

How often: Monthly or as needed for an immediate radiance boost.

Selecting the Right Treatment

  • Consultation is key: Book a professional assessment so an esthetician or dermatologist can evaluate your skin history and goals.
  • Combine therapies: Some treatments (for example, LED therapy after microneedling) work well together to enhance results.
  • Mild vs. aggressive: If you have sensitive or reactive skin, start with gentle options and patch tests.

Aftercare and Maintenance

Post-treatment care often determines how long results last. General tips:

  • Use gentle cleansers and hydrating serums—avoid harsh exfoliants for the recommended recovery time.
  • Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily; many treatments increase sun sensitivity.
  • Follow product recommendations from your provider—active ingredients like retinoids or acids may need a temporary pause after certain procedures.

Final Thoughts

Glowing skin is achievable with the right combination of professional treatments and consistent home care. For long-term radiance, schedule maintenance facials, protect your skin from sun damage, and adjust treatments to your changing needs. If you’re unsure where to start, book a consultation so we can create a personalized plan that matches your skin type and goals.

  1. Great overview! I had microneedling last month and saw a noticeable improvement in texture. The aftercare tips here are spot-on—sunscreen is non-negotiable.

  2. Very helpful breakdown of which facials suit different skin types. I wasn’t sure if chemical peels were right for my combination skin, but this makes it clearer.

  3. Love the mention of combining therapies. I did LED after a hydrating facial and my skin looked plumper for weeks.

  4. Would you add anything about at-home maintenance between professional sessions? A short product routine recommendation would be useful.

  5. Thanks for discussing sensitive skin considerations. I often avoid treatments because of rosacea, but the gentle options here give me hope.
