What is the difference between a basic facial and an advanced facial?

Advanced facials go beyond relaxation and surface cleansing by using specialized techniques like dermaplaning, microdermabrasion, or hydro-oxygen infusions. These treatments are designed to target specific concerns such as acne, discoloration, fine lines, or uneven texture. While classic facials focus on general skin maintenance and hydration, advanced options provide deeper exfoliation and more noticeable results over time. Misty still keeps the experience calming and personalized, but the skincare approach is more targeted and corrective. If you want more improvement in how your skin looks and feels, an advanced facial may be the best choice.

What skin concerns can advanced facials help improve?

Advanced facials are ideal for clients who want help with issues like rough texture, clogged pores, acne flare-ups, sun damage, mild scarring, dryness, redness, or early signs of aging. Treatments like dermaplaning can brighten dull skin, microdermabrasion can smooth uneven tone, and hydro-oxygen facials can improve hydration while addressing breakouts or pigmentation. Misty customizes the treatment based on your skin’s condition and your goals, so you aren’t choosing a generic service. These facials are a great option if you want results-driven skincare while still enjoying a relaxing spa experience in Athens.

Are body facials available under advanced skincare services?

Yes — Misty offers body facial treatments for areas like the back and chest, which are especially helpful for clients dealing with breakouts, congestion, rough texture, or irritation in hard-to-reach places. These treatments include cleansing, exfoliation, mask therapy, and massage to restore the skin and improve comfort. Body facials are a great option before special events, during seasonal changes, or as part of an ongoing skincare routine. Misty provides the same personalized care for body treatments as she does for facial services, creating a calm and professional experience with visible results.

Do advanced facials require downtime or recovery?

Most advanced facials offered by Misty’s Beauty Services have little to no downtime, making them easy to fit into your routine. Some clients may experience slight redness or sensitivity after exfoliation-based treatments like microdermabrasion, but this typically resolves quickly. Misty will guide you on what to expect and how to care for your skin afterward, including proper hydration and sun protection. Advanced facials are designed to be effective without being overly aggressive, so you can enjoy smoother, clearer skin without disruption. If you have a special event coming up, Misty can help time your treatment appropriately.

How do I know which advanced facial is right for me?

You don’t need to figure it out alone. Misty will help recommend the best advanced facial based on your skin type, concerns, and goals. If you want a smoother surface and brighter tone, dermaplaning may be ideal. If you’re focused on improving texture, blackheads, or mild scarring, microdermabrasion may be a better fit. For hydration and acne support, hydro-oxygen facials offer a rejuvenating boost. Misty’s approach is always personalized, so your treatment plan is based on what your skin truly needs — not a one-size-fits-all menu.
