What Are Aesthetic Facials?

Aesthetic facials are professional skin treatments that go beyond basic cleansing and relaxation. These are clinical procedures using medical-grade products and technologies to address specific skin concerns.

Each facial type uses different techniques and active ingredients to achieve specific outcomes, from deep hydration to chemical exfoliation to cellular renewal.

Prime DermaFacial

Dermaplaning

Manual exfoliation technique using a surgical blade to remove dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz) for smooth, radiant skin.
