Your skin is constantly exposed to UV radiation, pollution, bacteria, excess oil production, and everyday environmental stressors that affect the epidermis and gradually alter the structure of the dermis. As skin cells accumulate and natural cell turnover slows with age, pores become congested, hydration declines, and collagen and elastin production decreases, contributing to dullness, rough texture, and visible aging.
Professional facials cleanse, exfoliate, extract, hydrate, and use targeted treatment technologies to restore healthier skin function. By removing dead skin, improving circulation, balancing oil, replenishing moisture, and delivering active ingredients into freshly exfoliated skin, facials encourage healthy epidermal renewal while supporting the skin’s repair processes. Depending on your goals, we offer traditional, custom facials, DiamondGlow facials, and IPL photofacials.
Custom facials are tailored to your unique skin type, concerns, lifestyle, and goals. Your provider selects the appropriate cleansers, exfoliants, masks, serums, and steps after evaluating your skin. Whether your focus is acne, dehydration, sensitivity, congestion, or aging, each treatment is adjusted to improve skin barrier function while promoting healthier cell turnover.
DiamondGlow combines precision diamond-tip exfoliation with simultaneous pore extraction and SkinMedica serum infusion in a single treatment. Unlike traditional facials that apply products after exfoliation, DiamondGlow delivers professional serums into freshly resurfaced skin when absorption is greatest. This 3-in-1 approach improves hydration, texture, brightness, congestion, and overall quality.
IPL photofacials use precisely filtered broad-spectrum light to target excess melanin and hemoglobin beneath the skin’s surface without damaging surrounding tissue. The light energy is converted into heat within unwanted pigment or blood vessels, allowing your body to naturally clear these over time. IPL also stimulates collagen remodeling, helping improve sun damage, redness, pigmentation, and skin tone.
Facials can be customized to address a wide variety of skin concerns, including:
Many people notice cleaner, smoother, and more hydrated skin immediately after a facial. Your complexion often appears brighter as dead skin, excess oil, and impurities are removed. DiamondGlow provides an instant glow, with continued improvement over the following days as infused serums support hydration. IPL photofacial results develop more gradually as pigmented lesions and treated blood vessels are cleared by your body over several weeks.
The results vary depending on your skin type, home skincare routine, sun exposure, and the type of facial performed. A traditional facial may keep your skin looking refreshed for several weeks. DiamondGlow results often last 4 to 6 weeks with proper skincare. IPL photofacial improvements can last for months, although new sun exposure and the aging process may eventually create additional pigmentation or redness requiring maintenance treatment.
Whether your skin feels dull, congested, dry, or in need of a refresh, our facials can help reveal a smoother, brighter, healthier-looking complexion. At LaVida Medspa, we customize each treatment — whether a custom facial, DiamondGlow, or IPL photofacial — to your skin’s needs and goals, helping you achieve results that look and feel refreshed. Schedule a consultation at our Chandler or Mesa location to find out which facial is right for you.
