Facials

What Are Facials?

Facials are professional, multi-step skincare treatments designed to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, nourish, and hydrate the skin. Unlike a basic at-home routine, a facial at Luminé Aesthetics uses medical-grade products, customized techniques, and expert skin analysis to address your specific concerns—whether that’s dryness, congestion, dullness, fine lines, or sensitivity.


A typical facial may include:

  • Thorough cleansing
  • Gentle or advanced exfoliation (such as microdermabrasion when indicated)
  • Extractions (if needed)
  • Treatment masks and targeted serums
  • Massage and finishing products like moisturizer and SPF



Facials not only help improve the health and appearance of your skin, they also provide a relaxing experience that supports your overall sense of well-being.

Four Reasons People Choose Facials

01

To Maintain Clear, Healthy-Looking Skin

Regular facials help remove buildup, oil, and impurities that can clog pores, keeping the complexion clearer, smoother, and more balanced over time.

02

To Boost Hydration and Radiance

Professional-grade masks and serums deliver moisture and nutrients more effectively than many at-home products, restoring glow to dull, dehydrated skin.

03

To Address Specific Skin Concerns

Facials can be tailored to target concerns like sensitivity, early signs of aging, mild breakouts, or uneven tone with ingredients and techniques chosen just for you.

04

To Relax While Caring for Your Skin

Facials offer a spa-like experience with the benefit of clinical insight—allowing you to unwind while also supporting long-term skin health.

How Treatment Works in Practice

At Luminé Aesthetics, every facial begins with an understanding of your skin and your goals.


Consultation & Skin Analysis

Your provider will:

  • Discuss your concerns (dryness, breakouts, redness, etc.)
  • Review your current skincare routine and lifestyle factors
  • Examine your skin’s condition—texture, hydration, pores, and sensitivity


This allows us to select the most appropriate products and techniques for your facial.


Deep Cleansing

Your skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove makeup, oil, and surface debris. This creates a clean canvas so treatments can work more effectively.


Exfoliation

Depending on your skin’s needs, exfoliation may be:

  • Gentle physical exfoliation,
  • Enzyme or mild chemical exfoliation, or
  • Paired with treatments like microdermabrasion (when appropriate)


This step polishes away dead surface cells so the skin feels smoother and looks brighter.


Extractions (If Needed)

For congested areas, your provider may perform gentle extractions to clear clogged pores in a controlled, hygienic way—reducing the risk of scarring or irritation compared to picking at home.


Treatment Phase: Serums & Masks

Targeted serums, boosters, and masks are applied based on your goals:

  • Hydrating masks for dryness
  • Clarifying or calming formulas for breakouts and redness
  • Brightening ingredients for dullness or uneven tone
  • Anti-aging actives for fine lines and skin firmness


Finishing Products

Your facial ends with:

  • Moisturizer suited to your skin type
  • Eye cream or targeted treatment products
  • Broad-spectrum SPF for daytime appointments



You’ll also receive at-home skincare recommendations to maintain your results between visits.

  • Most facials take about 45–60 minutes, and you can usually return to regular activities right away, feeling refreshed and glowing.

FAQs

Got a question? We’re here to help.

  • How often should I get a facial for best results?

    For most people, a facial every 4–6 weeks aligns with the skin’s natural renewal cycle and helps maintain clear, healthy-looking skin. Those with specific concerns (like congestion or dullness) may benefit from more frequent treatments initially, then transitioning to a regular maintenance schedule.

  • Are facials good for acne-prone or oily skin?

    Yes. Properly performed facials can help manage clogged pores, blackheads, and congestion through deep cleansing, controlled extractions, and targeted products. Your provider will avoid products that are heavy or comedogenic and may recommend a series of treatments plus a home care routine to support clearer skin.

  • Can facials help with fine lines and early signs of aging?

    Facials can support more youthful-looking skin by improving hydration, texture, and circulation, and by delivering anti-aging ingredients like antioxidants, peptides, and gentle exfoliants. While they don’t replace more intensive procedures, regular facials are an excellent foundation for an anti-aging regimen and can complement services like microneedling, chemical peels, and neuromodulators.

  • Is there downtime after a facial?

    Most standard facials have little to no downtime. You may notice mild redness, especially after extractions or certain active products, but this typically settles quickly. If a facial includes stronger exfoliation or paired treatments, your provider will explain any expected temporary sensitivity or aftercare.

  • Are facials safe for sensitive skin or conditions like rosacea?

    Facials can be adapted for sensitive or redness-prone skin by using gentle products, soothing ingredients, and avoiding overly aggressive exfoliation or extractions. During your consultation, be sure to mention any history of sensitivity, rosacea, or allergies so your treatment can be customized to keep your skin calm and comfortable.

Facials Science & Safety

Facials combine several evidence-based skincare principles into a single treatment:

  • Cleansing and exfoliation help reduce excess sebum, debris, and dead skin cells that contribute to clogged pores and dullness.
  • Moisturizers, humectants, and barrier-supporting ingredients improve water content in the outer skin layers and support a stronger skin barrier.
  • Antioxidants and targeted actives help protect against environmental stressors and address specific concerns like uneven tone, redness, or early aging.

Because facials work primarily on the outermost layers of the skin, they are considered low-risk and non-invasive when performed correctly.
