Includes:

  • Double Cleanse

Red Carpet Facial

Our Red Carpet Facial is the ultimate treatment to reveal luminous, event-ready skin. This luxurious service combines three powerhouse treatments to deliver immediate, visible results:

  • CO2 Lift Pro – An advanced carboxytherapy mask that deeply hydrates, firms, and revives dull, tired skin. Placed on the face at the end of the treatment and left on for 45-60 minutes to be removed at home.
  • Dermaplaning – A gentle exfoliation that removes dead skin cells and peach fuzz, leaving your complexion silky-smooth and radiant.
  • LED Light Therapy – Helps reduce inflammation, stimulate collagen, and promote healing for a healthy, youthful glow.

Whether you’re prepping for a big event or simply want your skin to look its absolute best, the Red Carpet Facial is your go-to for smooth, plump, and photo-ready skin.

Treatment Time: ~90 minutes

Recommended For: All skin types, especially before events or special occasions

Restoring Balanced, Healthy Skin

What conditions do Facials address?

Our facials are designed to treat a variety of skin conditions related to congestion, dullness, and dehydration, and significantly improve surface buildup, promoting a visible radiance.

They are helpful for managing mild acne and clarifying congested pores through careful extraction. Moreover, facials provide intense hydration to relieve dryness and can target the visible signs of aging through nourishing antioxidant and vitamin applications.

Targets for Nourishment and Clarity

What areas of the body can Facials address?

The primary focus of a Signature Facial is the delicate skin of the face. Depending on your goals and request, our providers can often extend portions of the treatment, such as cleansing, massage, and masking, to the neck and upper chest (décolletage).

An Immediate Glow and Lasting Improvement

What are the benefits of a Professional Facial?

A professional facial provides an immediate boost of radiance and a deep sense of cleanliness beyond what’s possible with at-home skincare, promoting skin health by increasing circulation and lymphatic drainage to remove toxins.

Regular treatments keep pores clear and help therapeutic products work more effectively. Ultimately, facials help maintain a smooth, balanced, and resilient complexion that feels luxurious and refreshed.

Aligned With Your Goals

Are Facials right for me?

A Signature Facial is appropriate for nearly every skin type and age because the treatment is customized by the provider. If your goal is deep cleaning, hydration, or simply an elegant, relaxing maintenance treatment, a facial is ideal. Even those with sensitive skin can benefit from specific, calming protocols. Contraindications are rare and usually involve active infections or severe allergies to certain ingredients, which will be discussed before your session.

Post-Facial Care for Lasting Renewal

Facials Recovery

There is typically no recovery or downtime associated with our Signature Facials. You can return to your normal routine immediately after the session.

If extractions were performed, you may have very mild, temporary redness. The most important aftercare instruction is to protect your newly exfoliated skin by avoiding direct sun exposure and consistently using a high-quality, broad-spectrum sunscreen.
