Medical
Deluxe Facials
Clinical facial customized to your skin type. No downtime.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
What to Expect
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. Stay hydrated and avoid picking at any post-extraction areas. Visit our post-care instructions page for full guidance.
Facial Options
Each Deluxe Facial is customized to your skin type and concerns. The add-on dermaplaning option improves product absorption. Your provider will recommend the right approach during your appointment.

How Often & How Many
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.
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.
