A facial is a skin care treatment for specific skin concerns or issues. Your technician can examine your skin and listen to your concerns to determine which facial is best for your skin, aesthetic goals, health, and more. Usually, facials include applying serums to the skin, massaging the facial muscles, exfoliating and removing dead skin cells and debris, using steam to replenish moisture, and other advanced techniques.
Facials are not a luxury. They should be a regular part of your skincare routine, and here’s why. Facials can help maintain healthy, radiant skin. Whether you’re struggling with specific skin concerns or just want to bring new life and vibrance back to your complexion, a facial at West Hills Dermatology can provide noticeable benefits for all skin types.
You may benefit from a facial if you:
Acne facials are designed to target the root causes of breakouts—clogged pores, excess oil, and acne-causing bacteria. By deeply cleansing the skin, exfoliating dead cells, and extracting pore blockages, this treatment helps prevent new pimples from forming. Anti-inflammatory and antibacterial ingredients are often included to calm active breakouts and reduce redness. Regular acne facials can help rebalance oil production, clear congested skin, and support a smoother, healthier complexion—especially on the face, chest, and back.
This super-soothing skin treatment is specially formulated to calm and comfort irritated, reactive, and sensitive skin. Using gentle, anti-inflammatory ingredients, it works to reduce redness, inflammation, and discomfort while strengthening the skin’s natural barrier. By replenishing hydration and delivering essential nutrients, the treatment supports the skin’s ability to heal and defend against environmental stressors. Over time, it helps improve resilience, soothe chronic sensitivity, and restore a balanced, healthier-looking complexion, making it ideal for those with rosacea, post-procedure skin, or flare-ups from harsh skincare products.
A deep pore cleansing facial is a medical-grade treatment that uses a four-step process to purify the skin deeply. It removes dirt, oil, and debris that clog pores and contribute to acne, blackheads, and dullness. Through cleansing, exfoliation, extractions, and a calming mask, this facial clears congestion, reduces breakouts, and improves skin texture. The result is a cleaner, smoother, and more radiant complexion, especially for those with oily or acne-prone skin.
This facial treatment is specifically designed to target dehydrated, aging, and environmentally damaged skin. It works by deeply hydrating the skin, replenishing lost moisture, and delivering essential nutrients to help restore elasticity and firmness. Potent antioxidants and rejuvenating ingredients help combat signs of aging and repair damage caused by sun exposure, pollution, and other environmental stressors. The result is a smoother, plumper, and more radiant complexion with improved resilience and overall skin health.
This facial treatment is designed to restore the look of volume in the skin, giving the face and neck a firmer, smoother, and more lifted appearance. By using targeted ingredients that support collagen production and boost hydration, the treatment helps plump up the skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and improve overall elasticity. It revitalizes areas that have lost volume over time, enhancing facial contours and promoting a more youthful, refreshed look.
The HydroPeel Facial is an invigorating serum-based treatment that promotes long-term skin health and is fully customizable for all skin types. Using a gentle yet effective exfoliation and infusion process, it removes impurities while simultaneously delivering nourishing serums deep into the skin. This treatment helps improve hydration, reduce the appearance of fine lines, smooth skin texture, and enhance overall clarity. With regular sessions, the HydroPeel Facial supports a brighter, healthier, and more radiant complexion.
Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) peels work by chemically exfoliating the skin, breaking down the bonds that hold dead skin cells together on the surface. This gentle yet effective process lifts away dull, congested layers to reveal a brighter, more even-toned complexion underneath. Over time and with repeated treatments, AHA peels help smooth skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines, unclog pores, and fade acne marks or discoloration. The result is a clearer, more radiant complexion and improved overall skin health.
This super-soothing skin treatment helps bring relief to patients who suffer from irritated, reactive, and sensitive skin, particularly on the face where inflammation is most visible and uncomfortable. It calms redness, reduces inflammation, and replenishes moisture to restore comfort and balance to delicate facial skin. By strengthening the skin’s natural barrier and using gentle, nourishing ingredients, the treatment helps protect against future flare-ups while leaving the face feeling soft, hydrated, and visibly calmer.
Dermaplaning is a gentle exfoliating treatment that uses a surgical-grade blade to remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the surface of the face. This process reveals smoother, brighter skin and allows for better absorption of skincare products. By eliminating the buildup of dead skin and debris, dermaplaning helps to unclog pores, reduce the appearance of dullness, and create a more even skin tone. It also provides a flawless base for makeup, leaving the skin looking refreshed, soft, and glowing.
This treatment uses peel-off masks that penetrate deep into the pores to gently lift away dead skin cells from the outermost layer of the skin. By removing built-up debris, oil, and impurities, these masks help unclog pores, smooth skin texture, and promote a clearer, more refined complexion. Regular use can also improve the appearance of dullness, minimize blackheads, and enhance the skin’s overall radiance and health.
Microdermabrasion treatments use a minimally abrasive instrument to gently exfoliate the skin, removing the thicker, uneven outer layer. This process stimulates cell turnover and encourages the production of new, healthy skin cells, helping to improve skin texture, tone, and clarity. It can reduce the appearance of fine lines, sun damage, acne scars, and enlarged pores. By clearing away dead skin and promoting regeneration, microdermabrasion leaves the skin smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking.
