Skin Concerns
Addresses dullness and uneven tone, congestion and clogged pores, chronic dryness and dehydration, fine lines and early aging, acne and breakout-prone skin, and sensitive or reactive skin. The Deluxe Facial is fully customizable — every product and technique is adjusted to your skin’s condition at each visit.
Classic vs. + Dermaplaning
Classic Deluxe Facial ($225): clinical cleansing, professional steam, manual extractions, and customized masks and serums tailored to your skin type — approximately 60 minutes. Deluxe + Dermaplaning ($275): adds dermaplaning to remove vellus (peach fuzz) hair and dead surface cells before the facial, allowing serums and masks to penetrate more effectively into the skin.
Ideal Candidate
The Deluxe Facial suits all skin types — the treatment is fully customized at each visit, including a modified, gentler protocol for sensitive, reactive, or rosacea-prone skin. It’s a strong choice for first-time facial patients, pre-event skin prep, or anyone seeking clinical-grade maintenance. Patients with active cold sores or severe acne flares should let their provider know so the protocol can be adjusted. No downtime is required.
What the Treatment Includes
The Deluxe Facial is a medical-grade treatment customized to your skin profile. It goes beyond a standard spa facial by using professional-grade products and clinical extraction techniques.
Each session includes professional steam to open pores, thorough manual extractions to clear congestion, and targeted serums and masks selected for your specific concerns — whether that’s dryness, acne, or uneven tone.
The treatment takes approximately 60 minutes and requires no downtime. Most patients return to their normal routine immediately afterward.
The Benefits
Barrier Repair & Hydration
Medical-grade serums and masks replenish moisture and support the skin’s protective barrier, addressing chronic dryness and transepidermal water loss.
Exfoliation & Extraction
Professional exfoliation removes dead surface cells while manual extractions clear congested pores, improving texture and reducing breakout frequency.
No Downtime
Mild pinkness from extractions fades within an hour or two. No peeling, no recovery period — patients return to their routine immediately.
Skin Concerns We Treat
The Deluxe Facial is customized to your skin at each visit. Here’s what it addresses and how it works for each concern.
Dullness & Uneven Tone
Dead surface cells accumulate and reduce light reflection, making the skin appear flat and uneven. The Deluxe Facial uses professional exfoliation and targeted serums to remove this buildup and restore brightness. For patients with deeper pigmentation or sun damage, alternating facials with a VI Peel or MOXI Laser can accelerate results.
Congestion & Clogged Pores
Sebum, dead cells, and environmental debris collect in pores and form blackheads, whiteheads, and closed comedones. Professional steam opens the pores and manual extractions clear them more thoroughly than at-home care. Regular facials every 4–6 weeks keep pores clear and reduce breakout frequency. For deeper pore congestion, a HydraFacial can be alternated between sessions.
Chronic Dryness & Dehydration
When the skin barrier is compromised, transepidermal water loss increases and the skin feels tight, flaky, or rough. The Deluxe Facial replenishes moisture with medical-grade hydrating serums and occlusive masks that restore the lipid barrier. Your provider selects products based on your skin’s hydration level and sensitivity profile.
Fine Lines & Early Aging
Early fine lines are often worsened by dehydration, dead cell buildup, and UV exposure. Regular professional exfoliation and hydration improve the skin’s surface texture and plumpness, softening the appearance of fine lines. For deeper lines, combining facials with microneedling or Botox addresses both the surface and the underlying cause.
Acne & Breakout-Prone Skin
Active breakouts are driven by excess sebum, bacterial proliferation, and pore congestion. The Deluxe Facial addresses all three: extractions clear existing blockages, antibacterial serums reduce inflammation, and proper hydration prevents the overproduction of oil that fuels the cycle. For persistent or cystic acne, your provider may recommend combining facials with a chemical peel protocol.
Sensitive & Reactive Skin
Rosacea-prone, reactive, or sensitized skin requires a modified approach. Your provider adjusts every step — gentler exfoliation, reduced extraction pressure, soothing serums with ceramides and niacinamide, and calming masks that reduce redness. The Deluxe Facial is fully customizable, so sensitive skin types receive clinical-grade care without irritation.
Deluxe Facial vs. HydraFacial
Both are no-downtime facial treatments offered at ELLEMES, but they use different methods and are suited to different skin needs. Understanding the difference helps you and your provider choose the right option — or alternate between them for comprehensive care.
Which should you choose? Choose the Deluxe Facial if you need thorough extractions, have active congestion or acne, or prefer a hands-on customized treatment. Choose the HydraFacial if you want a quick hydration boost, immediate glow, or have minimal congestion. Many patients alternate between the two — Deluxe Facials for deep clearing and HydraFacials for maintenance hydration. Your provider will recommend the right approach during your consultation.
What to Expect
A Deluxe Facial runs approximately 60 minutes — longer if dermaplaning is added. No downtime.
Skin Assessment
Your provider examines your skin under magnification — evaluating hydration levels, pore congestion, sensitivity, and any active concerns like breakouts or pigmentation. Based on this assessment, they customize every product and technique used throughout the treatment.
Cleansing & Steam
A double cleanse removes surface makeup, sunscreen, and environmental debris. Professional steam is then applied to soften the skin and open pores, preparing the skin for effective extraction and better product penetration.
Exfoliation & Extractions
Professional exfoliation removes dead surface cells. Your provider then performs thorough manual extractions — clearing blackheads, whiteheads, and closed comedones from congested areas. Extraction intensity is adjusted based on skin sensitivity and congestion level.
Serums, Mask & Massage
Targeted serums are applied based on your skin profile — hydrating, brightening, or anti-inflammatory formulations. A customized mask is layered on and left to absorb while a neck and shoulder massage provides relaxation. Medical-grade products ensure deeper penetration than over-the-counter alternatives.
SPF & Aftercare
A lightweight moisturizer and broad-spectrum SPF are applied to protect freshly treated skin. Your provider reviews aftercare instructions and may recommend at-home products to extend your results between sessions.
Aftercare Essentials
Avoid touching your face or applying makeup for at least 4–6 hours. Use a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser for the first 24 hours and skip retinol, AHAs, BHAs, and active exfoliants for 48 hours. Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily — freshly exfoliated skin is more UV-sensitive. Avoid hot showers, saunas, and heavy exercise for 24 hours. For full guidance, visit our post-care instructions.

Who Performs This Treatment
How Often & How Many
A single Deluxe Facial provides immediate improvement in skin clarity, hydration, and texture. It’s a good option for first-time patients, pre-event skin prep, or anyone wanting to try clinical-grade facial care before committing to a regular schedule.
Scheduling every 4–6 weeks aligns with the skin’s natural cell turnover cycle. Consistent sessions keep pores clear, maintain hydration, and prevent congestion from building up. This is the most effective approach for long-term skin health.
Quarterly facials — once per season — provide a deep reset for patients who maintain a strong at-home skincare routine. Each seasonal session addresses cumulative congestion and recalibrates your skin for the months ahead.
Your provider will recommend the right schedule based on your skin type, concerns, and goals. Patients dealing with active acne or chronic congestion typically benefit from the monthly cadence, while those with well-maintained skin may do well with seasonal sessions. Adding dermaplaning to any session enhances product absorption.
