Whether you’re simply looking for a relaxing experience or trying to get a better handle on your skin care regimen, Avani Derm Spa has something for everyone – at a price that works for you!
A facial is a professional skin treatment that blends targeted products with hands-on techniques to restore clarity, hydration, and balance to the skin. At Avani Derm Spa, our facials are customized by licensed estheticians who assess your skin and select the right combination of cleansing, exfoliation, extractions, masking, and finishing products for your needs.
Most treatments incorporate proven technologies like dermaplaning, microdermabrasion, light chemical exfoliation, or LED therapy. Others focus on hydration, lymphatic flow, or gentle renewal. The goal is consistent across all options: healthier skin that feels smoother, looks brighter, and responds better to your at-home regimen.
“Jackie was wonderful! I went to see her for my first facial. She walked me through the steps of the process and communicated anything I could expect. I was very comfortable and absolutely pleased with the results! Not sure why I didn’t come see her sooner!”

This facial introduces our younger guests to the importance of a proper skin care regimen. Incorporating a personalized skin evaluation, we will teach them about cleansing, exfoliation, moisturizing, sun protection, and anti-blemish techniques.
A facial supports the skin’s natural repair cycle and addresses concerns that topical products alone often can’t manage. With regular treatments, the skin becomes more resilient and balanced, giving a more luminous complexion day to day.
Facial Benefits may include:
Your skin concerns help determine which products, techniques, and technologies belong in your facial. During your consultation, an Avani Derm Spa esthetician will evaluate your skin and customize the treatment accordingly. This allows us to address what your complexion needs now while supporting healthier, more balanced skin over time.
Acne-prone skin often benefits from a thoughtful combination of cleansing, exfoliation, extractions, and products selected to reduce congestion without stripping the skin. Your esthetician may also incorporate blue LED light therapy or recommend a Hydrafacial to clear impurities while replenishing hydration.
Because acne can have several underlying causes, the right facial will depend on whether you are experiencing clogged pores, excess oil, inflammation, or lingering post-acne discoloration. Patients with severe, cystic, or medically managed acne may need a modified treatment or coordinated care with a dermatologist.
Facials can soften the appearance of early fine lines by improving hydration, removing dull surface buildup, and supporting smoother skin texture. Ingredients and treatments that encourage gentle renewal can also help the complexion look brighter and more refined.
Depending on your skin and goals, your esthetician may recommend an Avani’s Essential Facial, Hydrafacial, or HydraNeedle treatment. Consistent professional care, sun protection, and an effective home regimen can help maintain supple, healthy-looking skin as it changes over time.
Sun exposure, past breakouts, hormones, and inflammation can all contribute to uneven pigmentation. Customized facials can help improve superficial discoloration by removing damaged surface cells and encouraging a brighter, more even-looking complexion.
Light chemical exfoliation, dermaplaning, BioRePeel, or other carefully selected treatments may be incorporated when appropriate. Because some forms of pigmentation require a more specialized approach, your Avani provider will assess your skin before recommending a facial, peel, skincare plan, or advanced treatment. Daily sunscreen is essential for protecting your progress and reducing future discoloration.
Rosacea-prone skin requires a calm, measured approach. Rather than using aggressive exfoliation, your esthetician can select gentle products and techniques that support the skin barrier, replenish moisture, and minimize unnecessary irritation.
A customized facial may help soothe dryness, sensitivity, and the appearance of temporary redness, but facials do not cure rosacea. Patients experiencing an active flare may be advised to postpone treatment or consider another option. Your provider will adjust exfoliation, temperature, massage, and product selection according to how your skin presents at the appointment.
When skin lacks moisture, it can feel tight, look dull, and make fine lines appear more noticeable. A hydrating facial removes dry surface buildup while delivering moisture-supporting ingredients that leave the skin feeling softer and more comfortable.
Avani’s Essential Facial and Hydrafacial can both be customized for dehydrated or seasonally dry skin. Your esthetician will also look at the condition of your skin barrier and recommend at-home products that help preserve hydration between appointments.
Pores cannot be permanently opened, closed, or erased, but their appearance can become more noticeable when they contain excess oil and dead skin cells. Professional exfoliation and extractions can clear this buildup, creating a smoother, more refined appearance.
Treatments such as Hydrafacial, microdermabrasion, and customized light exfoliation may help reduce congestion and improve surrounding skin texture. Continued results depend on consistent skincare, sun protection, and periodic professional treatments chosen for your skin type.
Most people are good candidates for a facial because the treatment adjusts easily to different skin types and concerns. Whether your skin is dry, oily, sensitive, acne-prone, or showing early signs of aging, your esthetician can tailor the approach to meet your needs. Facials can also support those dealing with dullness, congestion, uneven texture, or mild irritation.
There are a few situations where your provider may recommend a delay or modification, such as active infections, open wounds, or a current prescription that increases skin sensitivity. Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding may need gentler product choices, and those with known ingredient allergies should share that information during the consultation. If you’re unsure, the esthetician will guide you toward a treatment plan that is both effective and safe for your skin.
Your facial begins with a conversation about your skin: what you’re noticing, what you’re hoping to improve, and how your current routine is working. The esthetician evaluates your skin’s condition, then recommends treatments that fit both your goals and your comfort level. This ensures the facial isn’t just relaxing but purposeful.
Preparation is minimal. Avoid tanning, at-home peels, waxing, or aggressive exfoliation for several days before your appointment. If you use prescription topicals or recently had another in-office procedure, your provider may adjust the plan slightly. Arriving with a clean face is helpful, though makeup can be removed during the treatment.
Most facials take 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment. You’ll relax in a private room while your esthetician moves through cleansing, exfoliation, extractions (if needed), masks, serums, and finishing products. Advanced facials may include dermaplaning, microdermabrasion, LED therapy, or gentle chemical exfoliants. Facials typically do not require numbing or anesthesia. You may feel mild tingling from active ingredients or gentle pressure during extractions.
Many patients notice that their skin looks brighter, smoother, and more hydrated immediately after a facial. Removing dull surface buildup can reveal a fresher complexion, while customized serums and moisturizers leave the skin feeling soft and replenished. Extractions may also make congested areas appear clearer.
Some benefits continue to develop after the appointment. Redness settles, hydration improves, and the skin may respond more effectively to an appropriate home regimen. Concerns such as recurring congestion, uneven texture, and persistent dryness usually benefit from consistent care rather than a single treatment.
Your recommended schedule will depend on your skin and the type of facial you receive. Many patients maintain their results with appointments every four to six weeks, while others schedule treatments seasonally, before special events, or as part of a broader skincare plan.
Most facials require little to no downtime, although recovery varies according to the products and techniques used. A gentle hydrating facial may leave no visible signs of treatment, while extractions, dermaplaning, microdermabrasion, or light chemical exfoliation can cause temporary pinkness, sensitivity, dryness, or mild flaking.
Facial Recovery Timeline
Recovery instructions will be tailored to your facial. Follow the directions from your Avani esthetician if they differ from these general guidelines.
Your skin will feel clean, hydrated, and refreshed. Mild redness or sensitivity may be visible, particularly in areas where extractions or exfoliation were performed.
Most temporary redness begins to settle within several hours. Avoid intense workouts, saunas, steam rooms, hot showers, and other sources of excess heat unless your provider gives you different instructions.
Continue using gentle products and avoid scrubs, cleansing brushes, retinoids, exfoliating acids, and strong acne treatments. If your facial included a peel or more intensive exfoliation, sensitivity may last longer.
Any minor dryness or flaking should gradually resolve. Keep the skin moisturized, wear sunscreen, and allow shedding skin to come away naturally without picking or scrubbing.
Good aftercare protects freshly treated skin and helps you enjoy the results for longer. Keep your routine simple for the first day or two, using a gentle cleanser, supportive moisturizer, and broad-spectrum sunscreen. Avoid introducing new active products while your skin is settling.
You should also:
Light makeup may be appropriate several hours after a gentle facial, although allowing the skin to remain clean for the rest of the day is often preferable. If your treatment included dermaplaning, a peel, extractions, or another advanced technique, ask your provider when you should resume makeup and active skincare.
The cost of a facial varies because each treatment is customized to your skin’s needs and may include different techniques, technologies, or product combinations. Some facials incorporate dermaplaning, microdermabrasion, LED therapy, or light chemical exfoliation, all of which can influence the final price.
Your esthetician will walk you through the recommended treatment and the cost associated with it before anything begins. Pricing reflects not just the products used, but also the provider’s expertise and the time spent tailoring the experience to your goals. At Avani Derm Spa, you’ll receive a clear, straightforward breakdown so you know exactly what your treatment includes.
