What Is a Facial?
A facial is a spa service designed to cleanse, renew, and restore the skin on your face, and often your neck and décolleté depending on the treatment. Many guests also find facials to be a calming, restorative experience. At Viva Day Spa + Med Spa in Dallas, every facial is customized to your skin’s type and concerns, with options ranging from 30 to 90 minutes.
The process usually begins with a skin consultation. Your esthetician will evaluate your skin and then choose the best combination of cleansers, masques, and serums for your needs. Most treatments include dual cleansers, warm steam, exfoliation, masque, extractions, hydration, and sun protection.
Facials at Viva also feature relaxing touches such as an arm, neck, and shoulder massage. After your treatment, your esthetician will recommend professional skincare products that can help you maintain your results at home.
How Often Should I Get a Facial?
How often you schedule a facial depends on your skin type, your main concerns, and the results you want to achieve. Since the skin cell renewal cycle is about three to four weeks, Viva’s estheticians, like most skincare professionals, recommend monthly facial treatments to maximize your results.
If once a month isn’t quite the right pace for your schedule or budget, every two to three months can still make a noticeable difference. The key is to keep up with your skin care routine at home between visits. Using quality skin care products, applying sunscreen daily, exfoliating regularly, and moisturizing well all help extend the benefits of your facial and protect against breakouts or premature aging.
How Much Does a Facial Cost?
The price of a facial at Viva Day Spa + Med Spa in Dallas ranges from $100 to $235, depending upon the products, techniques, and services included.
A Custom Designer Facial costs $155 for a 60-minute treatment, which includes a professional skin analysis, custom facial, extractions, and a relaxing neck and shoulder massage.
For the ultimate experience, the Viva Vital Facial is $235 for a 90-minute facial service. This deluxe facial adds a peel, custom mask, hydrating serums, and advanced skincare elements for comprehensive results.
What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a skin-smoothing treatment that gently exfoliates the surface of your face. Using a medical-grade scalpel, your esthetician carefully removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair, leaving your skin softer and more radiant.
At Viva Day Spa + Med Spa in Dallas, dermaplaning is available as part of our Express Dermaplane Facial or as an enhancement to many of our other facial services. Please note that dermaplaning requires clearance from Viva’s medical team before your appointment.
What Are the Benefits of a Facial?
Facials are one of the best ways to refresh your skin. They cleanse, exfoliate, treat, and hydrate while addressing common concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, age spots, acne, and everyday breakouts. The result is skin that looks healthier and more radiant.
Beyond the immediate glow, facials also prepare you for long-term skincare success. After your treatment at Viva Day Spa + Med Spa in Dallas, your esthetician will recommend professional products and routines to help you maintain results and keep your skin glowing at home.
What Should I Consider Before Getting a Facial?
For Your Health & Safety
To ensure safe, effective results, please postpone your skincare appointment if you are experiencing any active infections such as cold sores, pink eye, styes, or shingles, or if you have visible symptoms of HPV on the face. Our estheticians can only provide treatment once all symptoms have fully resolved.
If you are considering a Hydrafacial, please also keep in mind:
- Hydrafacial cannot be performed on people who have cancer or severe cystic acne or who have recently had waxing, sugaring, laser treatments, plastic surgery, or sunburn.
- Please discontinue use of Accutane 12 months prior to treatment and Retin A, Avage, Tazorac, Differin, or any other medication that may compromise the skin 7 days prior to treatment.
What Is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a skincare treatment that uses an applicator with a textured surface to gently remove dead skin cells and improve overall tone and texture.
Microdermabrasion laid the groundwork for today’s more advanced treatments. At Viva Day Spa + Med Spa in Dallas, we offer Hydrafacial, a modern option that combines exfoliation, cleansing, extraction, and hydration in a single service. Sometimes called “wet microdermabrasion,” Hydrafacial uses a patented vortex tip that nourishes the skin while whisking away dead cells, dirt, and impurities.
The result is skin that feels refreshed, hydrated, and radiant. This treatment is gentle, effective, and safe for all skin types.
