What it is
A medical-grade facial is a professional skin appointment built around cleansing, exfoliation, massage, targeted products and a real look at your skin before choices are made. It is your skin being read by a licensed esthetician before she decides what belongs on your face.
Some people search for a facialist; at Laser Loft, that person is a licensed esthetician.
Every facial includes:
The appointment is put together around the skin in front of the esthetician. Exfoliation simply means lifting off the dead cells sitting on the surface, and massage typically brings blood to the surface for a while after — that is the flush people notice when they stand up.
What we believe is simple: the reading of your skin is part of the service. A facial can be the step that tells you what the rest of the menu should be, especially if you are not sure whether you need a Custom Facial, a peel, a laser treatment or just a better routine at home.
The menu
The Custom Facial is tailored to your skin’s unique needs. Whether your goal is to hydrate, brighten, smooth or clarify your complexion, the appointment is personalized after your esthetician looks at your skin. Every Custom Facial includes your choice of Microdermabrasion, Dermaplaning or a Light Chemical Peel.
The Express Facial is the shorter facial option on the menu. It gives you a cleanse, exfoliation and hydration pass when you are short on time, want a simpler visit, or are between Custom Facials and need your skin refreshed.
The Teen Facial is designed to specifically address breakouts associated with adolescent skin. It includes deep cleansing, exfoliation and gentle extractions.
Teen skin breaks out for a reason that has nothing to do with washing it enough — puberty enlarges the oil glands. Extractions are the part that lifts blackheads and whiteheads. The usual advice is to deal with breakouts early rather than wait them out, and to see a dermatologist if they are leaving marks or not shifting.
The Back Facial is a treatment for an overlooked area. It includes a deep cleanse, exfoliation, mask and massage, all targeted toward the needs of the back.
If your back is hard to reach or simply not getting the same care as your face, this gives that skin its own appointment.
The Shiney Hiney is the booty facial. It includes a deep cleanse, exfoliation, hydrating mask and massage, with the goal of refining the skin and smoothing the appearance of the area.

What happens
01
Your facial begins with a skin analysis. Your esthetician looks at your skin, asks what you are trying to change and tells you what she sees before she starts making choices.
02
The products and steps are chosen for the skin in front of the esthetician.
03
Before you leave, your esthetician talks through the products and rhythm she thinks make sense for your skin.

Choosing
Custom Facial: for a closer look and treatment built around hydration, brightness, smoothness or clarity.
Express Facial: for a shorter appointment when you do not need the full Custom Facial slot.
Teen Facial: for adolescent breakouts, with deep cleansing, exfoliation and gentle extractions included.
Back Facial: for back skin that needs care where you cannot easily treat yourself.
Shiney Hiney: for booty-area exfoliation and hydration when the goal is refined-feeling skin and a smoother-looking finish.
If your skin analysis points somewhere else, your esthetician should say so before you spend money on the wrong thing.
Before you come in
Typical prep is less about what you do and more about what you say. Before a professional skin treatment, people are usually asked to disclose medications, anything they are using for their skin, whether they scar easily and what treatments they have already had done.
If you get cold sores, say so when you book, because it is a standard thing providers ask about before facial treatments. If you are on isotretinoin or stopped recently, the usual practice is to tell the provider before booking because it changes what may be appropriate.
Bring your actual routine, not the edited version. Bring a list of your current skincare products, and mention any medications or recent treatments so your esthetician has the full picture. Retinol, a prescription retinoid and benzoyl peroxide can all change how your skin takes an exfoliating step. No special preparation is needed.
The usual advice before a skin appointment is to come in without fresh sun on your face. Treatments that resurface do not get stacked back to back; spacing them out is the usual practice.
Some skin is not ready for an exfoliating step on the day — active breakouts, an active rash, a cold sore or a flaring skin condition are all things to mention before she starts. If your skin runs reactive, the usual advice is gentler, not stronger.
Afterwards
Most people leave with a bit of color in the face, and it typically settles within a day. The usual aftercare is simple: put moisture back, because exfoliating is drying whatever form it takes. Skin is typically more sun-sensitive afterwards, and the standard advice is sunscreen and less sun for about a week. Between appointments, the usual advice is boring on purpose: lukewarm water, fingertips and do not scrub.
Most people want a verdict quickly, but the usual advice is to give a new routine six to eight weeks before you judge it.
Most people are on a series rather than a single appointment. The ranges published for professional exfoliation typically run several sessions before a maintenance rhythm, with the number and the spacing set by the esthetician after she reads your skin.
For professional exfoliation, Laser Loft’s advice is about once a month as part of a consistent skincare routine. More is not better with exfoliation. The usual caution is that over-doing it leaves skin red and irritated, which is exactly why spacing matters.

Why here
We place facials with licensed estheticians, because the person choosing the cleanse, exfoliation, massage and products should be trained to read the skin in front of them. We want your facial to feel cared for and clinically grounded at the same time.
We build the skin analysis into the appointment rather than treating it as a separate sales step. We look first, choose the facial steps second, and keep the service centered on what your skin is showing that day.
We do peels, Microchanneling and IPL in the same rooms with the same team. When your skin reading points away from a facial, we can keep the conversation in-house instead of sending you away to start over.

Every facial includes makeup removal and cleansing of the skin, skin analysis, chemical or manual exfoliation, massage of the face and neck, application of products targeted to your skin type, and product recommendations for your unique skin.
A facial offers a comprehensive cleansing, purifying and beautifying experience for your face and neck. It can hydrate, brighten, smooth or clarify the complexion, and it is the step that tells you what the rest of the menu should be.
The Custom Facial, Back Facial and Shiney Hiney book at 60 minutes. The Teen Facial and Express Facial book at 30 minutes.
Choose Custom Facial for a tailored face treatment, Teen Facial for adolescent breakouts, Express Facial for a shorter visit, or Back Facial or Shiney Hiney for body areas.
The Teen Facial is designed for adolescent breakouts and includes deep cleansing, exfoliation and gentle extractions. For non-teen breakouts, the Custom Facial or a Light Chemical Peel may be the better conversation, and persistent acne, dark marks or scarring should be discussed with a dermatologist.
Extractions are included in the Teen Facial, and Add On Extractions are available. Extractions are done with sterile instruments after the skin has been softened and exfoliated; the usual warning is not to squeeze at home, and you should tell your esthetician if anything is uncomfortable so she can adjust.

Yes. The Back Facial and Shiney Hiney are each 60 minutes.
Every facial includes a skin analysis and products targeted to your skin type.
In general, tell your esthetician about medications, skin prescriptions, retinol, benzoyl peroxide, cold sores, scarring history and recent treatments.
A facial is a cleanse, exfoliation, massage and product appointment, so concerns that need a stronger corrective treatment may belong with a peel or IPL instead. It is also a booked time commitment: 60 minutes for Custom Facial, Back Facial and Shiney Hiney, and 30 minutes for Teen Facial and Express Facial.
Most people leave with a bit of color that typically settles, and over-exfoliating can leave skin red and irritated.
Some people see a few breakouts after a facial, and the usual explanation is that the skin is clearing what was already sitting under the surface. The other usual advice is not to pile on new products all at once, because irritation can cause breakouts too.
In general, a laser appointment wants skin that has not just been resurfaced, so the two get spaced. What that spacing is for your skin and your booking is a question for the front desk.
