Unlike traditional spa facials, our medical-grade treatments penetrate deeper and deliver more dramatic results, addressing everything from acne and hyperpigmentation to fine lines and dullness.

Everything to Know About Our Facials

Facials for all skin concerns. Here is what happens in each of our facials, who each one is for, and why a professional facial is worth it.

Why Opt for a Professional Facial

MedBeautyLA is the premier spot for facials in Los Angeles. (Want to know who we are? Here's a real client's take on why MedBeautyLA facials are simply the best.) And while all of our facials are excellent for both men and women, our male clients can learn about the benefits of men's facials here.

A professional facial is a luxurious way to deeply cleanse and purify your skin by neutralizing toxins and removing blockages. Your provider chooses the right type of facial for you based on your specific skin type and needs. You can expect the following benefits with your MedBeautyLA facial:

  • Noticeably cleaner, brighter skin
  • Removal of blackheads
  • Reduced milia and clogged pores
  • Finer pores
  • Glowing skin

MedBeautyLA aestheticians can perform facials on an as-needed basis, whenever your skin needs a pick-me-up. You can also schedule regular facials as part of your beauty maintenance regimen.

The South Park Signature Facial

The South Park Signature is a 60-minute facial that starts with a full skin analysis. Your skin is then expertly cleansed, toned and exfoliated with our diamond-tipped microdermabrasion device. (Microdermabrasion sloughs off dead skin cells, revealing a brighter complexion while also increasing product absorption.) The facial is completed with a customized medical-grade facial mask, targeted finishing serums, moisturizer and SPF.

Diamond-tip exfoliation is non-chemical and non-invasive. It clears skin of dirt, oil and dead skin cells to reveal softer, smoother skin, so if your complexion is looking dull and you feel like your skin health could be better, this facial could be a fantastic option. The device gently buffs the surface of the skin with natural diamond chips and vacuums away dead skin cells. This process also accelerates cellular turnover and encourages the growth of new collagen, which helps create a healthier complexion from the inside out. After microdermabrasion you'll notice changes such as:

  • Coarse skin becomes smooth and silky
  • More even skin tone
  • Brighter skin
  • Shallow scars soften
  • Fine lines and wrinkles soften
  • Age spots and melasma gradually fade
  • Your skin feels softer and younger
  • Your pores appear smaller

You may notice some pinkness or tightness immediately after treatment, but this shouldn't last long. Be sure to wear sunscreen directly following your appointment. Book the South Park Signature Facial.

The DTLA Deep Hydration Facial

This 60-minute deep-hydration process begins with cleansing, gentle enzyme exfoliation and an ultra-relaxing pressure-point massage. Customized, medical-grade serums tailored to your specific skin type are then applied to your skin, followed by a nourishing and restorative HydroJelly mask. It's like giving your skin a tall glass of water.

The Ultra Lift Facial

Our classic deep hydration facial combined with electromagnetic muscle stimulation for the ultimate same-day lift and glow. This 75-minute facial awakens circulation and instantly improves contour.

The DiamondGlow™ Facial

The DiamondGlow™ Facial is the highly advanced, medical-grade answer to what is commonly known as a "hydrafacial." The patented DiamondGlow™ device exfoliates and extracts while simultaneously infusing your skin with nourishing SkinMedica® serums. (SkinMedica® is a premier, medical-grade skincare line known for delivering the most advanced results on the market.) After one 60-minute session, you'll notice brighter, smoother skin, and repeated sessions can soften wrinkles and treat hyperpigmentation. We'll target your treatment to anti-aging, ultra hydration or pore clarification. Here's why we believe the DiamondGlow Facial is superior to the HydraFacial.

The MedBeautyLA Dermaplane Facial

Dermaplaning is an extremely gentle method of exfoliation. Our providers use a medical-grade razor to lightly scrape away the top layer of dead skin cells from your face and neck, along with the "peach fuzz" hairs that can dull your complexion by trapping oil and dirt. During your treatment, your provider holds your skin taut and uses light, upward strokes that feel soothing and relaxing. This is a gentler alternative to microdermabrasion (it's fantastic for sensitive and mature skin types) and helps prep your skin for maximum product absorption.

This is considered our "event-ready facial," as you'll leave your treatment with a glowing and supple complexion. Over time, your refreshed skin also grows healthier and stronger as the following skin concerns begin to fade:

  • Dry, rough patches of skin
  • Hyperpigmentation, such as melasma and sun spots
  • Acne scarring
  • Fine lines and wrinkles

The Acne Facial

Our signature Acne Facial was designed by our team of experts to calm and treat acne and active breakouts. The foundational step of this 60-minute treatment is the deeply clarifying Corrective Control Beta Peel. It also includes a thorough double cleanse, light extractions, and medical-grade LED light which penetrates pores and kills bacteria. This facial is suitable for all acneic skin types and even treats acne that is resistant to other forms of treatment.

The SaltFacial™

The SaltFacial™ is a relaxing, three-step treatment designed to detoxify and rejuvenate all skin types.

  1. ExfoliateThe first step entails organic, sea salt-based exfoliation applied via a specialized pressure-flow machine.
  2. InfuseAfter that, active serums tailored specifically for your skin are applied using an ultrasonic wand, which allows products to penetrate more deeply.
  3. LED lightThe last step of the SaltFacial is the application of targeted, medical-grade LED light, which soothes acne, calms redness, or regenerates collagen, depending on your needs.

This is a zero-downtime facial and you will leave glowing and event-ready. Here's everything you need to know about The SaltFacial.

Customized Treatments for Every Skin Type

Our small team of experienced estheticians provides a personalized treatment plan for each and every client. Everyone's skin is different, and so each client's skin care program should be different as well. After an in-depth skin analysis, our passionate providers will create a custom home care and in-office plan to give you the healthiest skin of your life. A treatment plan may include a combination approach of facials, laser, at-home maintenance and more, and is tailored to your specific goals and lifestyle. That's what makes MedBeautyLA the best place for facials in downtown Los Angeles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between your facials and spa facials?

Our facials use medical-grade products and technology that penetrate deeper and deliver more dramatic, lasting results. They're performed by licensed aestheticians in a medical setting.

Which facial is right for me?

The SaltFacial™ is great for overall rejuvenation, DiamondGlow™ for an instant glow, the Ultra Lift for anti-aging, the DTLA Deep Hydration for dry skin, and the Acne Facial for breakout-prone skin. We'll recommend the best option at your visit.

Should I get a facial or a peel?

Facials cleanse, exfoliate and hydrate with no downtime, so they're ideal every month. Peels use professional-strength acids to resurface more deeply and work best on pigment, acne marks and texture, with a few days of flaking depending on the peel. Many clients alternate the two.

Do peels hurt?

Most clients feel tingling or mild stinging while a peel is on, and it stops once the peel is neutralized or removed. Lighter peels like AlphaRet are very comfortable; stronger ones bring more sensation, and we keep you comfortable throughout.

How much will I peel?

It depends on the peel. Lighter peels may cause little more than light flaking, while stronger peels like the Perfect Derma™ Peel bring visible peeling over several days. More peeling doesn't mean better results, and let the skin shed on its own rather than picking at it.

How many peels will I need?

Lighter peels work best as a series, usually about once a month. Stronger peels are done less often, and Cosmelan® follows its own at-home protocol. We'll build a plan around your skin and goals.

How often should I get facials?

For optimal results, we recommend monthly facials. This allows us to progressively improve your skin while maintaining results.

Can I wear makeup after?

After a facial, yes! Your skin will look so good you may not want to, but you can apply makeup immediately if needed. After a peel, follow the aftercare instructions we give you.

Are facials good for acne?

Absolutely! Our Acne Facial includes deep cleansing, extractions, and medical-grade products to clear breakouts and prevent future ones.

Do facials hurt?

No! Facials are relaxing and therapeutic. Extractions may cause brief discomfort, but overall the experience is soothing.
