How We Tailor Your Glow

What happens during a facial?

Facials at Schoemann Plastic Surgery are designed to promote long-term healthy skin rather than just offering a temporary glow. Whether you’re maintaining results from a procedure or just learning how to care for your skin, it’s one of the easiest steps you can take to look and feel more refreshed.

Your facial begins with a personal consultation to assess your skin’s needs and sensitivities. Most facials take 45–60 minutes and are completely relaxing and non-invasive. You’ll leave feeling calm, refreshed, and glowing, with no downtime or recovery required.

Procedure Technique

After a consultation to identify which treatment will effectively address your concerns, you will be asked to relax in our treatment room as your facial begins.

Each facial treatment will be customized, but most facials will begin with a deep cleansing to remove dirt, makeup, and oil. After the skin is clean, steam is used to open clogged pores, making it easier to extract blackheads and whiteheads. This is typically followed by an exfoliation of the skin, either performed manually or with an added treatment (microdermabrasion or chemical peel). A mask or serum can be massaged into the skin to provide deep nourishment. Lastly, an SPF moisturizer will be applied to protect from sun damage after the treatment.

Everyday Skin, Better Managed

What skin concerns can facials help with?

Facials are a great first step for individuals new to skincare treatments or anyone looking to take better care of their skin without committing to something intense or invasive.

Facials are ideal for:

  • Dull, dehydrated, or stressed-out skin
  • Mild congestion and clogged pores
  • Early signs of aging or uneven texture
  • Redness, irritation, or environmental damage
  • Maintaining results from chemical peels, lasers, or microneedling

Big Skin Wins

What are the benefits of a facial?

Facials aren’t just for pampering—they’re one of the simplest, most effective ways to reset your skin and keep it healthy over time. Whether you’re dealing with dullness, clogged pores, or just need a break from the stress showing on your skin, facials offer real, visible benefits without requiring downtime, needles, or long-term commitment.

A Clearer, Brighter Complexion

Facials help gently exfoliate the skin, clearing away dead cells and buildup that make your skin look tired or uneven. After a professional facial, most patients notice an instant improvement in radiance—that "fresh-faced" look you can’t get from products alone.

Better Hydration, Less Irritation

If your skin feels dry, tight, or sensitive, a facial can help restore balance. Medical-grade hydration is layered during your treatment to plump and soothe the skin without clogging pores. That means fewer flakes, less redness, and more consistent moisture retention between treatments.

Deep Pore Cleansing—Without Stripping

Facials can include steam and gentle extractions, helping to remove blackheads and congestion without causing trauma or breakouts. This is especially helpful for people with combination or acne-prone skin who want a clean slate without the harshness of over-the-counter scrubs.

Skin That Absorbs Products More Effectively

Exfoliated, hydrated skin absorbs serums and active ingredients more efficiently, which means your at-home skincare routine works better. Many patients find that after a facial, their products seem to "sink in" better and deliver better results.

A Stress Reset—for You and Your Skin

Facials offer more than skin-deep benefits. The experience itself is calming and restorative, which can reduce stress-related inflammation in the skin. Think of it as a reset for your nervous system and your complexion.

Expertise Behind Every Step

Ideal Candidates for Facials

Facials by the professionals at Schoemann Plastic Surgery are suitable for all ages and skin types, as they are personalized to meet each person’s unique needs and goals.

Typically, facials are created to correct signs of aging (wrinkles, fine lines, dryness), improve sun-damaged skin (spots, rough texture, uneven tone), deep clean for acne and clogged pores, and brighten dull and sallow skin. Facials can be customized to help teens and adults with chronic conditions like acne outbreaks, sensitive skin, and rosacea. The effects of a facial can be enhanced with additional skin treatments, such as microdermabrasion, chemical peels, or injectable procedures

If you’re unsure where to start with your skin care, a facial is a great starting point. Our team is here to guide you through the process.

What To Expect After Your Treatment

Facial Results

Following your treatment, you may have some redness and irritation, but this should subside naturally within 12 – 24 hours. Many patients will notice visible improvements in the appearance and texture of their skin immediately after treatment.

To maintain the results of your custom facial, ask one of our experienced team members for advice about creating a home skincare routine and how often you can schedule a facial at Schoemann Plastic Surgery. You may also want to discuss other facial treatments, such as microdermabrasion and chemical peels.

Frequently Asked Questions

At Schoemann Plastic Surgery, we don’t believe in “signature” facials or trendy add-ons that don’t serve your goals. Instead, we take the time to learn about your skin, listen to your concerns, and choose the right approach based on what your skin actually needs—not just what’s on a menu.

We use medical-grade, dermatologist-recommended products in a clean, quiet setting where you’ll feel completely supported.

Most patients benefit from facials every 4 to 6 weeks, depending on their skin type, lifestyle, and other treatments in their plan. We can also schedule facials around major events or seasonal skin changes to keep you looking fresh and balanced.

The cost of a facial can vary depending on the provider, the products used, and how customized the treatment is. At Schoemann Plastic Surgery, we’ll walk you through all pricing options before your treatment. Our facials are designed to deliver real results, not just surface-level relaxation.

Yes, professional facials can help reduce acne by gently clearing clogged pores and calming inflammation. They’re often paired with home care or other treatments for best results. Our providers will choose non-comedogenic products that won’t aggravate sensitive or breakout-prone skin.

There’s usually no downtime after a facial. Some patients may notice light redness for a few hours, especially after extractions, but this fades quickly. You can return to your normal routine right away—just don’t forget sunscreen, especially if your skin was exfoliated.

Spa facials focus on relaxation and surface-level cleansing. Medical facials, like those at Schoemann Plastic Surgery, are performed by trained professionals using clinical-grade products and techniques. They target deeper concerns like pigment, texture, and chronic congestion with more customized care.

Absolutely—but timing matters. For most patients, we recommend scheduling your facial 5–7 days before a major event so your skin has time to fully settle and glow. Let us know if you’re prepping for something special, and we’ll tailor the treatment accordingly.
