Give your skin exactly what it needs with a classic facial at Balanced Aesthetics & Wellness, thoughtfully designed around your concerns, your goals, and how your skin is behaving the day you walk in. Every treatment combines professional-grade skincare, targeted treatments, LED light therapy, and hands-on technique to support healthy, refined, natural-looking results.
Skincare Built Around Your Skin, Not a Script
No two complexions respond the same way, and your own skin changes with the seasons, your hormones, your stress levels, and your routine. A treatment that felt perfect in the spring may leave your skin dehydrated in the winter, which is why a fixed, one-size-fits-all facial so often falls short of what your skin actually needs. A classic facial begins with an assessment rather than a protocol. Your esthetician evaluates your skin in the moment and selects the exfoliation, extractions, serums, masks, and treatments best suited to it, adjusting intensity for comfort and building a treatment that supports both immediate radiance and long-term skin health.
Classic Facials Treat:
- Dull, lackluster skin
- Dehydrated and moisture-depleted skin
- Uneven skin texture
- Congested or clogged pores
- Enlarged pores

- Blackheads and whiteheads
- Mild acne and acne-prone skin
- Fine lines and early signs of aging
- Uneven skin tone and discoloration
- Rough or flaky skin
- Sensitive and reactive skin
- Environmental buildup and impurities
- Loss of firmness and radiance
How Our Classic Facials Work
Every facial begins with a conversation about your skin concerns, lifestyle, and goals. At Balanced Aesthetics & Wellness, we customize each treatment and select the most appropriate techniques, serums, and professional treatments to support healthier skin while complementing your broader skin rejuvenation plan.
Assessment and Cleansing
Your treatment opens with a thorough double cleanse and a close look at your skin. This is where your esthetician identifies congestion, dehydration, sensitivity, and texture concerns, then shapes the rest of the appointment around what your skin needs that day.
Customized Exfoliation and Extractions
Surface debris, excess oil, and dead skin cells are removed with the exfoliation method best suited to your skin, followed by extractions as needed. This promotes healthy cellular turnover and clears congestion while respecting your skin’s natural barrier.
Targeted Treatment and Infusion
Freshly exfoliated skin is far more receptive, so this is when professional-grade serums, masks, and targeted treatments are applied. Ingredients are selected for your specific concerns, whether that is hydration, brightening, calming, clarifying, or firming.
Relaxation and Finishing Care
Depending on the treatment you choose, your facial may include LED light therapy and massage of the face, neck, décolleté, shoulders, and scalp. Your skin is then finished with hydration, barrier support, and sun protection so you leave comfortable, calm, and glowing.
A Facial Designed Around You
Every facial is fully customized to your skin, concerns, and goals that day. Rather than following a predetermined protocol, your esthetician selects the professional skincare, treatments, modalities, and hands-on techniques most appropriate for you at each visit. Your skin is always changing, so your facial can too. You may book the same service each time and receive a different combination of treatments based on what your skin needs at that appointment.
As you move through the menu, you’re booking more time and level of care, allowing for greater customization, more comprehensive treatment, and more relaxation.
HydraFacial Experiences
HydraFacial is a clinically proven treatment designed to improve hydration, pore appearance, fine lines, skin tone, and texture. Its patented vortex technology combines exfoliation and gentle vacuum-powered extraction while infusing the skin with hydrating and antioxidant-rich serums for a deeper clean and enhanced product delivery.
The result is skin that feels deeply cleansed, hydrated, smooth, and refreshed with little to no downtime. With regular treatments, HydraFacial can also support continued improvements in overall skin quality, including texture, tone, congestion, and visible signs of aging.
Our approach goes beyond the standard HydraFacial protocol. At 60 minutes and beyond, HydraFacial technology is incorporated into a complete customized facial, combining the benefits of HydraFacial with professional skincare, targeted treatments, and the hands-on relaxation of a traditional facial.
Just like our Classic Facials, the experience is adapted to what your skin needs that day. As you move through the menu, additional time allows for more comprehensive treatment, customization, and relaxation.

FAQs
How Do I Know Which Facial to Book?
Book based on the amount of time you would like to spend with us rather than a specific concern. Because every treatment is customized on arrival, choosing a longer appointment simply gives your esthetician more room for additional targeted treatments and relaxation.
What Is the Difference Between a Classic Facial and a HydraFacial Experience?
Both are fully customized. A HydraFacial Experience adds HydraFacial’s vortex technology for deeper pore cleansing, more thorough extraction, and simultaneous serum infusion, making it a strong choice when congestion, dehydration, or texture are your primary concerns.
Is a Classic Facial Appropriate for Sensitive Skin?
In many cases, yes. Because the treatment is built around your skin rather than a fixed protocol, your esthetician can adjust intensity and select calming, barrier-supporting products that better suit sensitive or reactive skin while prioritizing comfort throughout.
How Soon Before a Special Event Should I Schedule a Facial?
For many people, scheduling your treatment 3 to 7 days before an important occasion helps your skin appear especially refreshed and luminous while allowing any temporary redness time to resolve.
How Often Should I Receive a Facial?
Treatment frequency depends on your skin concerns, goals, and lifestyle. Many patients benefit from monthly appointments, while others incorporate facials into a personalized seasonal or event-focused skincare regimen tailored to their needs.
How Much Downtime Should I Expect?
Custom facials typically require little to no downtime. Mild redness may occur immediately afterward, but it often subsides within a few hours, allowing most patients to comfortably return to work and social plans.
Will My Skin Continue to Improve With Regular Treatments?
Yes. While many patients notice an immediate improvement in hydration and radiance, consistent sessions may gradually enhance skin texture, reduce congestion, improve clarity, and support overall complexion by continually reinforcing healthy skin function.
