Relaxation Facial

This is the O.G. facial—a total reset for both your skin barrier and your nervous system. While we love our lasers and needles, sometimes your skin just needs to be pampered, not poked. This fully customized treatment focuses on deep cleaning, enzymatic exfoliation, and serious hydration. But the real magic is the massage; we incorporate extensive neck, shoulder, and facial massage to melt tension and stimulate blood flow. It’s the perfect balance of clinical skincare and pure “zen” vibes. Walk in stressed, walk out glowing.

The Healing Process

Post Treatment

  • Come As You Are: This is our most low-maintenance treatment. You don’t need to do much prep.

  • Pause Retinols: To ensure your skin isn’t too sensitive for the exfoliation step, pause your Retin-A or strong Retinols 3 days before coming in.

  • Injectables: If you’ve had Botox or Filler, please wait 2 weeks before booking this facial so we don’t disturb the placement during the massage.

  • Men: If you have a beard, we can work around it or treat through it. Shaving the morning of is helpful but not required.

  • The Cleanse: We start with a double cleanse under warm steam to soften pores and melt away makeup/oil.

  • The Exfoliation: We use gentle enzymes (like pumpkin or papaya) or a mild scrub to digest dead skin cells without irritation.

  • The Massage: The best part. While the mask sets, you get a dedicated neck, shoulder, and décolleté massage to release upper body tension.

  • The Mask: A custom mask is applied—whether you need deep hydration, calming for redness, or purification for oil.

  • The Finish: We layer premium serums, moisturizers, and SPF to seal everything in.

 

  • Immediate Glow: Your skin will look plump, dewy, and calm immediately.

  • Zen State: You will likely feel a bit “floaty” or tired (in a good way) after the relaxation.

  • No Redness: Unlike our aggressive treatments, you won’t leave red or peeling. You are camera-ready instantly.

  • Let It Soak: Try not to wash your face for the rest of the night. Let those expensive serums do their job while you sleep.

  • Hydrate: Drink water to help clear out toxins released during the massage.

  • Sun Protection: Even though it was gentle, fresh skin loves the sun too much. Wear SPF.

  • Routine: You can resume your normal skincare routine (including retinols) the next day.

FAQ

This focuses on relaxation and surface exfoliation. We perform very light, gentle extractions if needed, but if your main goal is cleaning out clogged pores or blackheads, we recommend booking the Acne Treatment or HydraFacial for a deeper clean.

Yes! This is the perfect treatment for expectant mothers. We use pregnancy-safe enzymes and products. It’s a great way to treat hormonal skin changes or just take a break from carrying the extra weight.

Absolutely. Adding Dermaplaning (removing peach fuzz) to a Relaxation Facial is one of our most popular combos. It allows the hydrating masks and serums to penetrate much deeper, leaving you glass-smooth.

 

This is actually the best facial for you. We customize the products to focus on calming ingredients (like cooling masks and anti-inflammatory serums) to repair your barrier and reduce redness.

Good question.

  • Relaxation Facial: Focuses on skin health (masks, steam, enzymes) with a nice fluff massage added in.

  • Massage Facial: Focuses on muscle structure (deep tissue, lymphatic drainage, contouring). It is a “workout” for your face, whereas the Relaxation Facial is a “nap” for your face.

Yes, you can. But your skin will be so clean and dewy that you probably won’t want to! If you do, we recommend mineral makeup.
