Facials & Skin Renewal at Refresh Medical
Healthy, radiant-looking skin starts with the right care for your skin type, concerns, and goals. At Refresh Medical, our Facials & Skin Renewal services offer personalized, esthetician-led treatments designed to cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate, and support smoother, clearer, more balanced-looking skin.
Your licensed esthetician will begin with a professional skin analysis to assess your skin and recommend the most appropriate treatment, products, and next steps. From express refreshes and medical-grade facials to anti-aging treatments, dermaplaning, and back facials, each service is customized to help your skin look and feel its best.
What Is a Facial Treatment?
A facial is a professional skin treatment designed to cleanse, exfoliate, nourish, and support the overall health and appearance of the skin. Unlike a basic at-home skincare routine, a facial allows your esthetician to assess your skin in real time and tailor the treatment to your current needs.
Depending on your skin type and goals, your facial may include deep cleansing, exfoliation, extractions, targeted serums, masks, hydration, SPF, and other professional products or modalities. The goal is to refresh the skin, support a healthier skin barrier, and create a smoother, more radiant-looking complexion.
Who Benefits From a Facial?
Facials can be beneficial for many skin types and concerns, whether you want routine skin maintenance or support for a specific issue. A professional facial may be especially helpful if you are experiencing:
- Dull or tired-looking skin
- Dryness or dehydration
- Rough or uneven texture
- Clogged pores or congestion
- Blackheads or whiteheads
- Acne-prone skin
- Redness or visible irritation
- Fine lines or early signs of aging
- Uneven tone or lack of radiance
- Difficulty choosing the right skincare products
Your esthetician will help determine which treatment is most appropriate based on your skin condition, sensitivity level, lifestyle, and skincare goals.
Benefits of Professional Facials
Professional facials can provide both immediate and long-term skin-supporting benefits when performed consistently and paired with the right home care.
| Benefit | How It Helps |
|---|---|
| Improved texture and tone | Exfoliation and professional products can help smooth roughness, remove dead skin buildup, and brighten the appearance of the complexion. |
| Clearer-looking skin | Deep cleansing, extractions, and targeted treatments can help address congestion, blackheads, whiteheads, and acne-prone skin. |
| Hydration and barrier support | Medical-grade moisturizers, serums, and masks can help replenish hydration and support a healthier skin barrier. |
| Anti-aging support | Certain facial treatments can help soften the appearance of fine lines, improve the look of elasticity, and support firmer-looking skin. |
| Better product guidance | A facial gives your esthetician an opportunity to recommend products that fit your skin rather than guessing through trial and error. |
| Relaxation and stress relief | Facials can also provide a calming experience that helps you reset while supporting your skin care goals. |
Facial & Skin Renewal Services Offered
Refresh Medical offers a range of facial and skin renewal services using professional and medical-grade skincare products, including the HydroPeptide line. Each service is tailored to your skin at the time of treatment.
Professional Skin Analysis
A focused appointment designed to assess your skin type, condition, concerns, and goals. This is a helpful starting point if you are unsure which facial, skincare products, or treatment plan is right for you.
Medical-Grade Facial
A customized facial designed to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate, and refresh the skin using professional-grade products. This service is suitable for many skin types and can be adapted based on concerns such as dullness, dryness, congestion, uneven texture, or lack of radiance.
Express Facial
A shorter treatment for clients who want a skin refresh but have limited time. The Express Facial includes professional skin analysis, cleansing, exfoliation, hydration, SPF, and a targeted treatment selected for your skin needs.
Anti-Aging Medical-Grade Facial
A results-focused treatment designed for aging, dull, dry, or tired-looking skin. Using HydroPeptide products and peptide-focused skincare, this facial helps support hydration, radiance, smoother-looking texture, and a more refreshed appearance.
Medical-Grade Back Facial
A facial-style treatment for the back, ideal for clients looking to address hard-to-reach concerns such as clogged pores, back acne, uneven texture, or minor discoloration. This service may include cleansing, exfoliation, extractions, targeted treatment products, hydration, and professional recommendations.
Lash Extensions & Lifts
Refresh Medical now offers lash extensions and lash lifts to enhance your natural lashes with a fuller, longer-looking, low-maintenance finish. Choose classic lash extensions for a customized mascara-like look, or a lash lift with optional tint to curl and lift your natural lashes for results that typically last 4–8 weeks.
What to Expect During Your Facial at Refresh Medical
Your appointment begins with a professional skin analysis. Your licensed esthetician will review your skin type, current condition, concerns, and goals before customizing your treatment.
Your facial may include cleansing, exfoliation, steam, extractions, targeted serums, masks, hydration, SPF, and other professional products or modalities depending on the service selected. Some treatments are designed for relaxation and maintenance, while others are more corrective and focused on texture, congestion, aging, or overall skin renewal.
After your facial, your esthetician may recommend products, treatment frequency, and next steps to help maintain your results at home.
Lash Extensions & Lifts
Refresh Medical now offers lash extensions and lash lifts to help you achieve fuller, longer-looking lashes with a customized, low-maintenance finish. Classic lash extensions use individual synthetic lashes applied to your natural lashes for a soft, mascara-like look that can be tailored by length, curl, thickness, and style. For clients who prefer to enhance their natural lashes without extensions, a lash lift gently curls and lifts the lashes for a longer, more voluminous appearance, with optional tinting available. Results vary based on your natural lash cycle, and lash lifts typically last 4–8 weeks. For best results, please arrive with no makeup or skincare products around the eyes, avoid caffeine before your appointment, and do not wear contact lenses during lash services.

How Long Do Facial Results Last?
Facial results vary based on the type of treatment, your skin condition, and how well you care for your skin afterward. Many clients notice an immediate glow that can last several days, while benefits such as smoother texture, improved hydration, and reduced congestion may last longer with proper home care.
| Result Type | Typical Timing |
|---|---|
| Immediate glow and hydration | Often visible for 2-3 days after treatment |
| Smoother texture and cleaner-looking pores | Often noticeable for 1-2 weeks |
| Longer-term skin maintenance benefits | Best supported with treatments every 4-6 weeks and consistent home care |
To extend your results, use gentle skincare, keep your skin hydrated, wear broad-spectrum SPF daily, and follow your esthetician’s product recommendations.
How Often Should You Get a Facial?
Many clients benefit from a facial every 4-6 weeks, which generally aligns with the skin’s natural renewal cycle. Consistent treatments can help maintain smoother texture, clearer-looking pores, improved hydration, and a more radiant complexion over time.
Your ideal frequency may vary depending on your skin type, sensitivity, goals, treatment plan, and at-home skincare routine. Your esthetician can recommend the best schedule for your skin.
Facial Aftercare and Downtime
Most facials require little to no downtime, but your skin may be more sensitive after exfoliation, extractions, peels, or active treatment products. Your esthetician will provide personalized aftercare instructions based on the specific service performed.
For the first 24-48 hours, avoid:
- Direct sun exposure
- Heavy makeup, unless otherwise advised
- Heavy sweating or intense workouts
- Hot showers, saunas, and steam rooms
- Picking, scratching, or scrubbing the skin
- Harsh skincare products
- Exfoliants, scrubs, retinoids, or strong acids
- Waxing, shaving, or additional exfoliation on treated areas
Use gentle skincare:
- Gentle cleanser
- Hydrating moisturizer
- Broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher
- Any products specifically recommended by your esthetician
If your treatment included a peel or deeper exfoliation, follow all specific aftercare instructions provided. If flaking occurs, allow the skin to shed naturally and avoid pulling or scrubbing peeling skin.
Facial Services FAQs
Here are some of the most common questions we have received about our Facial services. If you have more questions, we’re always here to help—just give us a call or ask during your personalized skin consultation!
Which facial is right for me?
The best facial depends on your skin type, current concerns, sensitivity level, and goals. A professional skin analysis can help determine whether you would benefit most from a medical-grade facial, anti-aging facial, express facial, dermaplaning, or another treatment plan.
Are facials only for people with skin problems?
No. Facials can be used for both corrective care and routine maintenance. Many clients schedule facials to maintain hydration, glow, smoother texture, and healthier-looking skin.
Can facials help with acne or clogged pores?
Facials may help improve the appearance of congestion, blackheads, whiteheads, and acne-prone skin through deep cleansing, exfoliation, extractions, and targeted products. Your esthetician will determine what is appropriate for your skin at the time of service.
Will my skin be red after a facial?
Some temporary redness or sensitivity may occur, especially after extractions, exfoliation, or active treatment products. This is usually mild and short-lived, but your esthetician will let you know what to expect based on your treatment.
Can I wear makeup after a facial?
It is usually best to avoid makeup for the first 24 hours after a facial so your skin can breathe and recover. Your esthetician will provide guidance based on your specific treatment.
How often should I schedule a facial?
Many clients schedule facials every 4-6 weeks for ongoing skin maintenance. Your ideal schedule may vary based on your skin goals and treatment plan.
Can I combine dermaplaning with a facial?
Dermaplaning may be added to select facial services when appropriate for your skin. Your esthetician will determine whether it is a good option based on your skin condition and sensitivity.
Do facials replace my at-home skincare routine?
No. Facials support your skin, but daily home care helps maintain results between appointments. Your esthetician can recommend products that fit your skin and goals.
