What is a Facial?

A facial is a broad term for non-invasive skin treatments that hydrate and revitalize the skin. Different facials target specific issues like preventing acne, smoothing wrinkles, evening skin tone, and rehydrating skin. These treatments are accomplished through massages, exfoliation, cleansing, and specialized skin care products.

Hydra Facial

HydraFacial is a treatment that will cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate the skin. The skin is then infused with boosters tailored to target specific concerns. Some of them have hyaluronic acid and antioxidants that promote collagen, tighten pores, prevent breakouts, and reduce wrinkles. Learn more about HydraFacials here.

Diamond Glow

The DiamondGlow Facial offers a deeper exfoliation. It starts with deep cleansing with a Diamond tip to unclog pores, then gently exfoliates dry skin. The suction from the hand piece removes residual debris, and a personalized serum is infused to address issues like fine lines, acne, dry skin, and hyperpigmentation.

Breeze Facial

The Breeze Facial is perfect for Boston facial patients seeking a noninvasive, needle-free skin treatment. This facial begins with a soothing and exfoliating massage that helps with lymphatic drainage. Then, your freshly cleaned skin is infused with a nutrient-rich serum to promote healthy, hydrated skin.

Facial Candidates

Most healthy patients would make good facial candidates. However, you should not have one if you have an active sunburn, open wounds on your face, are prone to cold sores or skin allergies, or have active rashes.

Consultation and Preparation

During your consultation, one of our medical providers will analyze your skin, review your skincare routine, and identify the best facial for you.

Preparation for each facial can look different, but generally avoid direct sun exposure, waxing, and shaving the week before your facial. Do not wear makeup the day of your treatment.

Facial Procedure

Hydra Facial

A HydraFacial removes dead skin cells and debris from the skin's surface. The Hydrafacial handpiece gently suctions impurities to prevent squeezing the skin. The facial is finished with boosters to treat a number of specific skin concerns.

Diamond Glow

We will gently cleanse the skin to prepare it for exfoliation with our Diamond-tipped handpiece. The handpiece will exfoliate, extract impurities, and infuse a serum chosen by your aesthetic provider based on your specific skin concerns.

Breeze Facial

A Breeze Facial uses massages and exfoliation with pressurized air to promote lymphatic drainage and better circulation. Afterward, the skin is gently infused with a nutrient-rich serum to keep it healthy and hydrated.

Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

Most facials immediately result in hydrated, radiant skin. However, following a HydraFacial or DiamondGlow facial Boston patients may experience some redness or sensitivity the first few hours after treatment.

Refrain from using makeup and cleansers on the first day following your treatment. For the week after your facial, also avoid touching your face, direct sunlight, exfoliating products, hot water, and harsh skincare products.

Facial results typically last four to six weeks. After this period, most Boston facial patients schedule their next facial to continue seeing the positive results in their skin.
