A facial is a popular treatment that rejuvenates skin health and appearance. These relaxing treatments combat a wide range of skin concerns stemming from different factors, including hormonal fluctuations, aging, genetics, and even environmental stressors. These things can wear on the skin over time, contributing to a dull and diminished appearance. A professional facial from one of our medical aestheticians can help nourish your skin, restoring a radiant glow. (1)

About Facials
A facial is a customized treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, extracts impurities, and hydrates the skin to help enhance its appearance and health. Our facials can address a variety of different skin concerns, such as acne, sun damage, age spots, and uneven skin texture/tone. Whether you are looking to target a specific issue or simply refresh your skin, we likely have a facial that will work for you.
Benefits
Facials offer several notable benefits, including:
- Improved Hydration: We apply hydrating masks and serums to reduce dryness, flaking, and peeling.
- Smoother Skin: Our facials include exfoliation to unclog pores, remove dead skin cells, and enhance cellular turnover, improving the overall texture of your skin.
- Reduced Acne: Extractions and deep facial cleansing can purify the surface of the skin to reduce future breakouts and minimize acne flare-ups.
- Personalized Treatment: We tailor facials to address different skin types and concerns, ensuring individualized attention and results that align with expectations.
- Versatile Application: Facials can address a wide range of skin concerns, including acne, sun damage, age spots, fine lines and wrinkles, and more, but they can also be used as a pick-me-up for the skin.
Candidates
Suitable candidates for our facials include anyone interested in improving the appearance and health of their skin. Our facials can effectively manage the following skin concerns:
- Acne Prone Skin
- Age Spots

Many patients schedule their facials before an important event so that they can put their best face forward!
During a quick consultation, one of our specialists will determine whether a facial is right for you.
Personal Consultation
We ask that you attend a complimentary personal consultation before undergoing your facial. Here, your specialist will learn about your medical history, skin concerns, and treatment goals. They will also evaluate your skin.
This information will guide our recommendation for the best type of facial for your skin type, tone, and targeted conditions as we develop the details of your treatment plan. You will also receive a set of preparation and recovery instructions, as well as a cost estimate for the treatment. By taking the time to evaluate your skin and listen to your concerns, your specialist can create a fully personalized experience for you, rather than a one-size-fits-all treatment.
To schedule this consultation and receive your tailored treatment plan, please submit our online contact form or call us at (913) 663-3838.
Preparation
Your aesthetician will provide personalized instructions to help you prepare your skin for your facial. These instructions will vary depending on the type of facial you receive and your skin type, but following them closely will help ensure optimal results.
You may need to temporarily modify your skincare routine to refrain from using skincare products that may affect your skin’s barrier, such as retinoids, chemical peels, and other exfoliants. It is important that you wear sun protection when leaving the house, but it is best to avoid excessive sun exposure in general. We also advise staying hydrated and keeping your skin moisturized.
Facials
We offer several different facials to address a wide range of skin concerns. We can tailor each of these facials to meet your goals; during your consultation, your specialist will recommend the most suitable treatment for you to achieve a clear, radiant complexion.

The HydraFacial is a multi-step treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, extracts impurities, and hydrates the skin using specialized vortex technology. (2) This facial finishes with specialized HydraFacial super serums that nourish the skin, leaving it glowing, refreshed, and deeply hydrated.
Medical Facial
Our medical facial utilizes microdermabrasion, ultrasonic cleaning, custom masks, and LED light treatments to restore a more refreshed appearance. We highly recommend this treatment if you have specific skin needs or are seeking a thorough deep cleansing, as it uses powerful medical-grade products.

Recovery and Results
You will be able to return to your daily routine after your appointment, as our facials do not require any downtime. If you undergo a facial that uses deep cleansing techniques, such as exfoliation or extractions, you may experience temporary sensitivity or redness. These effects will subside within several hours to a day. During this time, you should wear sunscreen and keep your skin hydrated for the best results.
You will be able to experience improvements in the clarity, texture, and overall appearance of your skin. You may notice a reduction in fine lines, sun damage, acne scars, and age spots, as well as a more even complexion. Our facials can address a wide range of concerns, helping you restore a more rejuvenated and youthful-looking appearance in the process. Certain treatments may also stimulate neocollagenesis, which can improve the elasticity and firmness of the skin. The results of our facials can last for several weeks, with most patients benefitting from a series of regular treatments.
