Custom Facial Treatments
Personalized Skin Maintenance for Clarity, Balance, and Long-Term Skin Health
HEALTHY SKIN ISN'T ACHIEVED IN A SINGLE STEP.
IT'S MAINTAINED THROUGH CONSISTENCY, BALANCE, AND THOUGHTFUL CARE.
Custom facial treatments are personalized skin maintenance sessions designed to support overall skin health, clarity, and balance.
Rather than following a fixed protocol, each treatment is adjusted based on your skin’s current condition, concerns, and goals. This allows for a more responsive approach to skincare, adapting techniques and products as your skin evolves over time.
These treatments focus on maintaining skin function through cleansing, exfoliation, hydration, and targeted care—making them a foundational component of long-term skin health.
Patients seeking custom facial treatments in San Mateo and the greater Bay Area often incorporate these sessions into ongoing skincare routines to maintain a clear, balanced, and healthy-looking complexion.

FAQs
What makes a facial “customized”?
+
Customization refers to adjusting treatment techniques, products, and intensity based on your skin’s condition at the time of your appointment, rather than following a predetermined protocol.
Can I add dermaplaning to my facial?
+
Yes. Dermaplaning may be added to enhance exfoliation and improve product absorption, resulting in a smoother skin surface.
Can I combine a custom facial with other treatments?
+
Yes. Custom facials are often incorporated alongside treatments such as chemical peels, microneedling, or injectables as part of a broader skin maintenance plan.
Is there any downtime after a custom facial?
+
There is typically little to no downtime. Some patients may experience mild redness immediately after treatment, which usually resolves within a few hours.
How often should I get a custom facial?
+
Many patients schedule treatments every 4–6 weeks to maintain consistent skin clarity and support the skin’s natural renewal cycle.
Are custom facials suitable for sensitive skin?
+
Yes. Treatments can be adjusted to support sensitive or reactive skin by focusing on gentle techniques, hydration, and barrier-supporting ingredients.
Can a custom facial help with acne-prone skin?
+
Custom facials may help improve congestion and support clearer skin through exfoliation, extractions, and targeted treatments. For persistent or more advanced acne, additional treatments may be recommended as part of a comprehensive plan.
How is a custom facial different from HydraFacial?
+
Custom facials are hands-on treatments that allow for flexibility in technique, product selection, and intensity. HydraFacial is a device-based treatment that follows a structured process of cleansing, extraction, and hydration.
Both can support skin health, but custom facials allow for a more adaptive and individualized approach.
What is a custom facial?
