How to Choose the Right Facial for Your Skin
Facials aren’t one-size-fits-all. The right treatment depends on your skin type, your goals, and your lifestyle. Here’s a simple guide to matching your skin to the perfect facial — so every appointment leaves you glowing.
Why Your Skin Type Comes First
The single biggest factor in a great facial is choosing one that fits your skin. A treatment that’s perfect for dry, mature skin may be too much for oily or sensitive skin — and vice versa. That’s why every appointment should start with a quick skin assessment. Explore our full menu on the facials & skincare page.
How to Know Your Skin Type
- Dry: tight, flaky, or dull — craves hydration and gentle exfoliation.
- Oily: shiny T-zone, enlarged pores, prone to congestion.
- Combination: oily through the center, normal-to-dry on the cheeks.
- Sensitive: reacts easily, redness — needs calming, low-irritation care.
- Mature or dull: fine lines and uneven tone — benefits from renewal and collagen support.
Matching Treatments to Your Goals
Microneedling
Tiny controlled micro-channels stimulate collagen to soften fine lines, scarring, and texture. Great for mature or uneven skin wanting firmer, smoother results over time.
Dermaplaning
A gentle exfoliation that removes dead skin and peach fuzz for an instantly smooth, bright canvas — and flawless makeup application. Lovely for dull or dry skin.
Chemical Peels
A customized solution resurfaces the outer layer to reveal clearer, smoother, more even skin. Adjustable strength makes it versatile across many skin types.
LED & RF Facials
Light and radio-frequency treatments target concerns like breakouts, redness, and laxity with zero downtime — ideal when you want results without recovery.
How Often Should You Get a Facial?
For most people, a facial every four to six weeks keeps skin balanced and glowing — that roughly matches your skin’s natural renewal cycle. Targeted treatment plans (like a series of peels or microneedling) may follow a different schedule your provider designs with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I get a facial?
Every four to six weeks works well for most skin types, since it aligns with the skin’s natural renewal cycle. Targeted treatment series may follow a customized schedule recommended during your consultation.
What's the difference between microneedling and dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a surface exfoliation that removes dead skin and fine facial hair for instant smoothness. Microneedling works deeper, creating micro-channels that stimulate collagen to improve texture, fine lines, and scarring over time.
Is there downtime after a facial?
Many facials, like dermaplaning and LED treatments, have little to no downtime. Resurfacing treatments such as peels or microneedling may cause temporary redness or light flaking, which your provider will walk you through beforehand.
Are professional facials really worth it?
Yes — a licensed esthetician can assess your skin, customize the treatment, and use professional-grade products and devices you can’t replicate at home. Consistent facials support healthier, clearer, more radiant skin over time.
