SKIN REJUVENATION
Custom Facial Treatments
Personalized Care for Clearer, Calmer, More Balanced Skin
OUR APPROACH
Your skin does not need the same treatment every visit.
Custom facials are designed around how your skin presents that day, rather than following a fixed protocol every time.
At MajorGlow, cleansing, exfoliation, extractions, hydration, masks, and other techniques are selected according to concerns such as congestion, dehydration, sensitivity, dullness, or imbalance.
As your skin changes, the treatment can change with it. The goal is consistent maintenance that supports clarity, comfort, and a healthier-looking complexion without over-treating the skin.
HOW IT’S PERSONALIZED
Built around the skin in front of us.
Skin Assessment

Each treatment begins with an evaluation of your skin’s current condition, including hydration, congestion, sensitivity, texture, and overall balance.
Treatment Selection

Based on what your skin needs that day, your provider may incorporate techniques such as exfoliation, extractions, hydration, masks, or calming treatments.
Adaptive Approach

Because skin changes over time, each facial can be adjusted from visit to visit to support consistent clarity, comfort, and balance.

YOUR APPOINTMENT
What to Know
Simple preparation. Easy to fit into your routine.
Custom facials require minimal preparation and are designed to adapt to your skin at the time of treatment. Temporary redness or sensitivity may occur depending on the techniques and enhancements selected.
Before Treatment
+
✧ Avoid using strong exfoliants or active skincare products for 2–3 days prior if your skin is sensitive
✧ Arrive with clean skin when possible
✧ Inform your provider of any recent treatments or irritation.
After Treatment
+
✧ Mild redness may occur temporarily
✧ Avoid heavy makeup immediately after treatment if possible
✧ Continue gentle skincare and daily sun protection
Timing Your Treatment
+
Treatment frequency depends on your skin condition, goals, and the type of facial performed. Some patients choose regular maintenance appointments, while others schedule treatments seasonally or when their skin needs additional support.
A Thoughtful Approach to Skin Maintenance
Healthy-looking skin is often built through consistency rather than aggressive correction.
At MajorGlow, custom facials are used to support clarity, hydration, comfort, and balance while respecting the skin barrier and avoiding unnecessary over-treatment.
The goal is not to make the skin feel stripped or overworked after every visit. It is to provide the level of care it needs now, while supporting a complexion that remains balanced over time.
Consistent care. Balanced skin.
FAQ
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.
Are custom facials suitable for sensitive skin?
+
Custom facials can often be adapted for sensitive or reactive skin by emphasizing gentle techniques, hydration, and barrier-supportive products. Suitability still depends on the condition of the skin at the time of treatment.
What is a custom facial?
+
A custom facial is a personalized treatment designed to address your skin’s current condition. Rather than following a fixed protocol, techniques and products are selected in real time to support skin clarity, balance, and overall skin health.
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.
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.
How often should I get a custom facial?
+
Treatment frequency depends on your skin condition, goals, and the type of facial performed. Some patients benefit from regular maintenance appointments, while others schedule treatments seasonally or when their skin needs additional support.
Can I add dermaplaning to my facial?
+
Yes. Dermaplaning may be added for additional physical exfoliation and removal of fine vellus hair, leaving the skin surface smoother and more refined.
Can custom facials be part of a broader treatment plan?
+
Yes. Custom facials can be incorporated into an ongoing skincare plan alongside treatments such as chemical peels, microneedling, Hydrafacial®, or injectable skin-hydration treatments when appropriate. Treatment timing is adjusted according to your skin condition, recovery, and overall goals.
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.
