When it comes to skincare, one size certainly does not fit all. This is where the magic of customized facials comes into play! Radiant, glowing skin from the inside out starts with understanding your individual skin needs, which can be achieved through a customized Defy facial at our downtown Bethesda med spa. So, let’s dive into the many benefits of customized facials, how it’s done, pricing, and why it’s a game-changer in your skincare routine!

Why Customize?

While traditional facials offer some benefits, they often fall short of addressing specific concerns. Whether it’s acne, dry skin, aging, or hyperpigmentation, we believe your skin deserves personalized attention. Your skin is always changing - your needs at one appointment may be different than the next. Our custom Defy facials allow us to target your unique skin concerns directly, utilizing a blend of techniques and medical-grade products carefully selected for your skin type by our expert Defy aestheticians.

A Solution for Every Skin Type:

One of the primary benefits of tailored facials is their ability to adjust to various skin types. For example, those with oily skin may benefit from deep cleansing and exfoliation to unclog pores, while those with dry skin may benefit most from hydration-focused treatments to restore an optimal moisture balance!

Addressing Specific Concerns:

Beyond individual skin types, personalized facials also address specific concerns that go beyond the surface. From acne scars and congestion to fine lines and wrinkles, these treatments are designed to tackle your skincare concerns head-on. Incorporating targeted ingredients and techniques such as chemical peels, hydrojelly masks, LED light therapy, microdermabrasion, and dermaplaning can help erase blemishes, smooth skin texture, and promote collagen production for a lasting glow!

Plus, customized facials are great for addressing seasonal changes and protecting your skin from environmental factors like UV exposure, indoor heating and air conditioning, air pollution, blue light, and more!

For example, during the winter months, when our skin tends to become dry and dehydrated, we can tailor treatments to focus on intensive hydration and barrier repair. In the summer months, when excess oil and sun exposure are primary concerns, we can adjust the treatment to include oil-controlling ingredients and sun protection.

A Personalized Experience:

Picture this: a skincare regimen tailored to your unique preferences, concerns, and goals. That’s the beauty of a custom Defy facial! During your consultation with our expert aestheticians, your facialist will assess your skin, discuss your concerns, and design a treatment plan that aligns with your skincare goals. 

And, the personalized experience goes beyond our treatment room! We believe in arming our clients with the knowledge and resources to maintain their glow and results at home. As part of the customized facial experience, we provide customized skincare routines, product recommendations, and expert tips tailored to your specific needs and goals. Whether you’re new to skincare or a fellow enthusiast, we’re here to support you every step of the way on your journey to healthy, radiant skin!

How It’s Done:

Customizing a facial involves a strategic blend of assessment, analysis, and customization. Here’s a glimpse into our process:

Consultation: Your custom Defy facial always begins with a thorough consultation with your aesthetician. During this time, we’ll discuss your skincare history, concerns, lifestyle factors, and goals to get a full understanding of your skin. The goal is to get to know you and your skin!

Skin Analysis: Next, under 10x magnification, we’ll analyze your skin to identify areas of concern such as dehydration, pigmentation, or congestion. This magnification allows us to see every detail of your skin!

Product Selection: Armed with knowledge about your skin type and concerns, we’ll then select products containing active ingredients that address your specific needs to use during your facial. From our medical-grade gentle cleansers to active serums, each of our products is designed to work with your skin type and deliver the best results!

Treatment Customization: With a personalized treatment plan in place, your Defy aesthetician will get to work and perform a combination of techniques tailored to your skin! This typically includes cleansing, exfoliation, extractions, massage, masks, and chemical peels targeted to tackle your skincare concerns!

Post-Treatment Care: Good news! Your skincare journey doesn’t end once your facial is over. We’ll provide guidance on post-treatment care, including skincare routines, product recommendations, and expert tips to maintain your results. And if you’re running low on skincare at home, we’re always happy to make product recommendations that will work best for your skin!

Pricing: Our 50-minute Customized Defy Facials are $150 per facial or $125 with our Defy Facial Membership. Our membership is a great option for those who are looking for consistent facials, and to improve their skin! Our custom facials also make a fabulous gift for those who you want to pamper for brides-to-be, birthdays, anniversaries, and more!
