Facials
Understanding Facials
A facial is a multi-step skin treatment that includes cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and hydration, all tailored to your skin type and current condition. Regular facials help maintain a healthy skin barrier, keep pores clear, and address ongoing concerns like acne, dryness, or sensitivity before they worsen. Performed by trained skin care professionals using medical-grade techniques and products, facials deliver a level of precision and care that over-the-counter options simply can’t match.
Facials work on multiple levels, targeting visible concerns like dullness, clogged pores, and excess oil while also supporting the skin’s long-term health and strength. Depending on the treatment selected, a facial can address everything from fine lines and uneven tone to acne-prone or sensitive skin. With consistent professional care, your skin builds better results over time, staying clearer, more balanced, and visibly healthier with each session.
How We Approach Facial Treatment in Our Practice
No two clients walk in with the same skin, and a single approach rarely works for everyone. Our treatments are designed to address a wide range of conditions with care and clinical precision. Here’s a closer look at what’s available.
Our Treatment Process for Facials
Each client comes in with different goals, which is why our team follows a structured, individualized approach from the very first visit.
Skin Assessment & Consultation
Your first step is a one-on-one consultation where your skin is assessed and your concerns are heard. Dr. Moreno and Dr. Yablonicky built our practice on the belief that personalized care produces better outcomes, and that starts before any treatment begins. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, discuss your goals, and understand exactly what to expect.
Your Personalized Facial Plan
Based on your consultation, our provider will put together a treatment plan that reflects your skin type, lifestyle, and specific goals. No two plans look the same, as this isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. A series of chemical peels, a combination of facial treatments, or a single targeted session may be recommended depending on what’s best for your skin.
Your Treatment Session
Once your plan is in place, our provider will walk you through each step so you feel comfortable and informed. All services are performed in a clean, clinical environment using medical-grade products and equipment. Your comfort is monitored throughout, and the approach is refined in real time if needed.
Post-Treatment Skin Care
After your facial, our provider will give you clear aftercare instructions to protect your results. This typically includes guidance on sun protection, moisturizing, and which products to avoid while your skin heals. Following these steps makes a measurable difference in how well your results hold over time.
Ongoing Progress & Results Check-In
Our physicians, Dr. Moreno and Dr. Yablonicky, don’t consider a treatment complete until they’ve confirmed you’re seeing the results you came in for. Follow-up appointments are built into your plan so your progress can be tracked and your treatment refined as needed. Consistency is key with facials and peels, and our team will help you stay on track.

FAQs
What is a facial?
A facial is a professional skin care treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, and nourishes the skin to improve its overall health and appearance. It typically involves multiple steps tailored to your specific skin type and concerns, including cleansing, steaming, extraction, masking, and hydration. Regular facials help keep your skin balanced, clear, and healthy over time.
How often should you get a facial?
Most skin care professionals recommend getting a facial once a month, as this aligns with the skin’s natural renewal cycle of approximately 28 days. However, the ideal frequency depends on your skin type, concerns, and the type of facial you’re receiving. Our team will help you determine a schedule that supports your skin goals during your consultation.
How much is a facial?
Facial pricing varies depending on the type of treatment, the level of customization, and any add-ons included in your session. We encourage you to contact our La Costa or San Clemente locations directly for current pricing information, as treatment options and packages may vary. Please note that pricing is subject to change and individual treatment needs may affect the final cost.
Can you get a facial while pregnant?
Many facial treatments are safe during pregnancy, but certain ingredients and techniques may not be recommended depending on your trimester and individual health condition. It’s always best to consult with your OB-GYN before booking any skin care treatment while pregnant. Our team will also review your health history during the consultation to ensure your treatment is safe and appropriate for you.
How long does a facial take?
The length of a facial depends on the type of treatment and any add-ons included in your session. Most standard facials range from 30 to 60 minutes, while more advanced or customized treatments may take longer. Our team will give you a clear time estimate when building your personalized treatment plan.
