Men’s Signature Facial in San Carlos, CA

The Men’s Signature Facial is a comprehensive treatment designed specifically for the unique skincare needs of men. First, the process starts with a steam cleanse that helps to open up pores and prepare the skin for a deep pore cleanse. Then, an enzyme treatment is applied to gently exfoliate the skin, remove any dead skin cells and promote a brighter complexion. Extractions are then performed to clear any clogged pores and reduce the appearance of blackheads. The high-frequency treatment that follows not only helps to improve blood circulation but it also aids in collagen production, ensuring a firmer skin texture. A soothing massage with ice globes is then administered, which not only relaxes the facial muscles but also reduces puffiness and inflammation. The cooling mask that follows further soothes the skin, locking in moisture and nutrients. The facial concludes with the application of finishing products that are carefully selected to restore, revitalize, and protect your skin. Your skin will feel refreshed, rejuvenated, and radiant after the treatment.
