Understanding Your Treatment
What Is a Custom/Personalized Facial?
A Skincare Solution Designed Just for You
A custom facial is a personalized skincare treatment tailored to your specific needs. Unlike one-size-fits-all treatments, we analyze your skin and adjust every step to target your concerns. Our advanced facial options in Calgary combine modalities like microdermabrasion, LED, and RF for enhanced results.
Custom vs (Calgary)
Standard facials follow a set routine for all clients. A custom facial adapts each step based on your skin analysis. Medical facials involve deeper treatments with medical-grade products under medical oversight. Our personalized facials bridge the gap - offering advanced techniques while staying within safe, proven protocols.
Who Benefits Approach
Everyone's skin is different. A personalized facial works great for people with multiple concerns like acne and sensitivity, or fine lines and dryness. It's perfect if standard treatments haven't given you results or if your skin changes with seasons or hormones.
What We Mean Corrective Facials
Clinical facials and corrective facials focus on specific problems using stronger ingredients. Custom facials can include these advanced elements but adjust the intensity based on your skin's tolerance. Think of it as getting the benefits of medical-grade care with the comfort of a spa experience.

Concerns We Address
Skin Concerns We Treat in Calgary
Solutions for Every Skin Type
Our personalized facials are designed to effectively treat a wide range of skin issues, including acne, fine lines, dullness, uneven texture, and dryness. We also have specialized protocols to safely manage conditions like melasma, rosacea, and sensitivity.
Acne and congestion (blackheads/whiteheads, comedones)
Struggling with breakouts? We use gentle extractions, BHAs like salicylic acid, and LED light therapy to clear congestion and prevent future acne.
Aging concerns (fine lines, wrinkles, elasticity/laxity)
Restore your skin's bounce with treatments that boost collagen stimulation and elastin support. We use peptides, vitamin C, and technologies like microcurrent and radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening.
Dryness, dehydration, and barrier impairment
Dry, flaky skin needs special care. We focus on skin barrier repair using hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and gentle hydration techniques.
Hyperpigmentation, uneven tone, melasma, discoloration
Dark spots and uneven skin tone respond well to targeted treatments. We use brightening ingredients like niacinamide and azelaic acid, plus careful exfoliation to improve clarity.
Rosacea and sensitivity (redness, reactivity)
Sensitive skin needs a gentle touch. We avoid harsh ingredients and use calming treatments to reduce redness and strengthen your skin.
Sun damage, dullness, and rough texture
Years of sun exposure can leave skin looking tired. We resurface with gentle AHAs like glycolic acid or lactic acid to reveal brighter, smoother skin.
Post-facial goals: clarity, glow, refined pores
Want that post-facial glow? Our treatments improve cell turnover, boost lymphatic circulation, and create refined pore appearance for radiant skin.
Your Personalized Plan
Personalized Treatment Planning
A Customized Strategy for Healthy Skin
Your treatment begins with a comprehensive skin analysis to identify your unique needs. Based on this assessment, your provider will create a personalized plan using a combination of technologies and products to help you achieve your specific skincare goals.
Skin Analysis Lifestyle, Medications)
We start with a detailed skin analysis, including your Fitzpatrick skin type. We’ll ask about your lifestyle, current products, and any medications that might affect your skin.
Tailoring Your Goals
Based on your analysis, we choose the right mix of treatments. Maybe you need microdermabrasion for texture, plus LED for inflammation. We customize everything.
Homecare Results
Your facial doesn’t end when you leave. We create a home routine with the right products to maintain and boost your results.
When We Modality
Sometimes less is more. For sensitive skin, we might focus on one gentle treatment. For stubborn concerns, we layer multiple approaches for maximum impact.
Our Technology
Advanced Facial Technologies We May Use
The Latest Innovations for Your Complexion
Your custom facial may incorporate advanced technologies to maximize results, such as LED light therapy to reduce inflammation, dermaplaning for deep exfoliation, or microdermabrasion to improve texture. We select the best tools to target your individual concerns.
Microdermabrasion & Hydrodermabrasion
These resurface your skin by removing dead cells. Hydrodermabrasion adds moisture while it exfoliates - perfect for dry skin.
LED Light Therapy (Red/Blue)
Red light boosts collagen, while blue light kills acne bacteria. It's painless and works for most skin types.
Microcurrent Toning
Think of this as a workout for your face. Gentle electrical currents tone muscles and boost circulation.
Ultrasound/Sonophoresis
Sound waves help push beneficial ingredients deeper into your skin for better results.
High-Frequency
This kills bacteria and reduces inflammation - great for acne-prone skin.
Dermaplaning
We gently remove peach fuzz and dead skin for instant smoothness. Your products absorb better too.
Oxygen Infusion
We spray pure oxygen and nutrients onto your skin for instant hydration and glow.
Superficial Chemical Peels (AHA/BHA)
Gentle chemical exfoliation removes dead skin and unclogs pores without harsh scrubbing.
Radiofrequency (RF) Skin Tightening
Heat energy stimulates collagen production for firmer, tighter skin over time.
Nano-Infusion (Needle-Free)
Enhances serum penetration and glow with minimal downtime; ideal for sensitive or needle-averse clients.
Your Appointment
Step-by-Step: What to Expect
A Relaxing and Rejuvenating Experience
Your custom facial is a personalized journey designed to address your unique skin concerns through a meticulous, multi-step process. Each treatment combines professional cleansing, targeted exfoliation, and gentle extractions with a custom-selected mask and serums to restore your skin’s health and leave you with a radiant, refreshed complexion.
Cleanse and professional skin analysis
We start with a double cleanse to remove makeup and impurities, then examine your skin closely.
Exfoliation (enzymatic, AHA/BHA, or mechanical)
Based on your skin, we choose enzymatic exfoliation for sensitive types or chemical/mechanical for tougher skin.
Extractions (as needed)
We gently clear clogged pores and remove blackheads and whiteheads without damaging surrounding skin.
Targeted treatment mask(s)
Custom-selected facial masks address your specific concerns - hydrating, clarifying, or calming.
Massage (face/neck as appropriate; lymphatic drainage as indicated)
Relaxing massage improves circulation and helps drain excess fluid for a lifted look.
Serums, hydration, SPF (vitamin C, HA, niacinamide, peptides)
We layer targeted serums, lock in moisture, and always finish with SPF protection.

Safety & Risks
Risks, Side Effects & Contraindications
A Safe Path to Beautiful Skin
While custom facials are very safe, some individuals may experience temporary redness or mild sensitivity after their treatment. We will conduct a thorough consultation to identify any contraindications, such as active infections or certain medications, to ensure your safety.
Temporary redness, irritation
Some redness after treatment is normal and fades within hours. Purging (temporary breakouts) can happen as skin clears. Allergic reactions are rare; we assess history and can perform a patch test before new actives.
Contraindications infections, isotretinoin use, certain skin conditions)
Tell us about recent procedures, medications like isotretinoin, or skin infections. These may mean waiting to treat.
Modality-specific cautions (e.g., pregnancy; epilepsy and LED)
Some devices have specific safety concerns. Pacemakers and microcurrent don't mix. Epilepsy and LED need caution.
Allergies and PIH risk management
We can patch test products if you have allergies. Some treatments increase sun sensitivity, so SPF is crucial.

Alternatives
Comparisons & Alternatives
Finding the Perfect Fit for Your Skin
A custom facial is a great option, but we also offer alternatives like microneedling, laser genesis, and chemical peels. Our providers will help you understand the differences between these treatments and select the best option for your goals.
Custom Facial (Calgary)
Custom facials adapt to your needs with moderate-strength ingredients. Medical facials use prescription-strength products for specific conditions.
Custom Facial Microneedling
Custom facials are gentler with no downtime. Chemical peels go deeper but need recovery time. Microneedling creates controlled injury for collagen but requires healing.
Custom Facial vs
HydraFacial follows a set protocol. Custom facials let us mix and match technologies based on your needs.
RF vs RFAL
RFAL is a surgical/medical body-contouring modality and not used in facials; for non-invasive tightening we use RF skin tightening suitable for facial skin.
