The Beauty Facial Everyone Deserves: What to Look For, What to Ask, and Why Our 90-Minute Facial Is a Complete Skin Therapy

There’s something almost sacred about a truly exceptional facial. Not the rushed 20-minute “in-and-out” spa version… but the kind of facial that feels like a deep exhale — a treatment that resets your skin, your nervous system, your confidence, and your glow.

I’ve always believed that a facial should be transformative — not superficial, not generic, and certainly not cookie-cutter. When someone entrusts their skin to us, I want them to walk out feeling renewed on multiple levels: physically, emotionally, and energetically.

And if you’re considering a beauty facial anywhere — including with me — you should know exactly what to look for and what to ask before you book.

Let’s talk about it.

What You Should Look For in a Beauty Facial (And Red Flags to Avoid)

If you’re booking a facial, I want you to think beyond the calming music and warm towels. A truly effective facial should combine expertise, medical-grade insights, and a therapeutic experience that is tailored to your unique skin.

Here’s what matters most:

A thorough skin analysis — If a provider doesn’t evaluate your skin first, they’re guessing. That’s never acceptable. This step should identify your skin type, hydration level, pore behavior, sensitivities, inflammation, texture, and early signs of aging.

Custom treatment planning — not a one-size-fits-all menu. Your facial should adapt to your skin in real time. If the spa has rigid steps with no flexibility, that’s a red flag.

Medical-grade hygiene and training — Facials involve close contact with your skin barrier. Look for licensed estheticians trained in dermatology-level protocols — especially for extractions, exfoliation, microcurrent, or LED.

High-quality, clean ingredients — Your skin absorbs what you put on it. You deserve formulations free of synthetic irritants, preservatives, cheap fillers, and fragrance cocktails. Look for botanicals, peptides, HA, and bioactive plant extracts.

No rushed treatments — Anything under 45 minutes is maintenance — not transformation. For true results, you want a 75–90 minute facial with layered techniques.

Questions You Should Ask Before Booking Your Facial

I encourage clients to advocate for their skin. Ask these questions anywhere you go:

• How long is the treatment, truly? (A real facial should be 75–90 minutes, not 30.)

• Is the facial customized or pre-set?

• Do you use clean, dermatologist-formulated products?

• Are extractions included? Are they optional?

• Do you incorporate HydraFacial, microcurrent, LED, or oxygen therapy?

• Will I see immediate glow, long-term results, or both?

• What skin concerns do you specialize in?

• Do you assess my skin first — or follow a fixed routine?

Your esthetician’s confidence and transparency will tell you everything you need to know.

What Our 90-Minute Comprehensive Beauty Facial Includes

At Dr. Lazuk Esthetics®, our beauty facials are therapeutic treatments, not spa fluff. Every session is a deeply personalized, step-by-step journey through skin science, nourishment, and renewal.

Let me walk you through what happens behind the treatment door.

1. Detailed Skin Analysis

We begin by reading your skin like a diagnostic map — hydration, oil flow, inflammation patterns, pigmentation activity, texture irregularities, early fine lines, pore behavior, and barrier health. This determines everything that follows.

2. Deep Detoxifying Double Cleanse

Your skin is cleansed twice: once to emulsify oils, sunscreen, and makeup — and again to purify pores and remove debris. We use gentle plant-based cleansers with Centella Asiatica, amino acids, and hydrating surfactants that never strip your barrier.

3. Illuminating Exfoliation

We select one exfoliation method based on your skin’s needs:• Enzyme polish for sensitive skin• AHA/BHA blend for congestion• Gentle micro-exfoliation for dullness• Botanical brightening peels for glow

No irritation. No harsh acids. Just radiance.

4. Professional Extractions

Performed only if needed and always with dermal safety in mind. This prevents scarring, reduces inflammation, and clears congestion gently.

5. Deep-Tissue Facial Massage (Endospheres Roller Massage)

This is where transformation begins. Using rhythmic microvibration technology, we stimulate circulation, release tension in the facial muscles, improve lymphatic drainage, and sculpt the face. Many clients say this feels like a facial workout — in the best way.

6. Detoxifying Collagen Mask

A breathable, luxurious mask infused with peptides, HA, organic botanicals, and collagen-supporting actives. It hydrates, brightens, and strengthens the skin barrier while reducing puffiness and inflammation.

7. Microcurrent Stimulation

Think of this as Pilates for your facial muscles. It lifts, tones, improves definition, and enhances ATP (your skin’s cellular energy). It’s subtle, natural, and cumulative.

8. HydraFacial Element

Unlike most spas, HydraFacial™ is standard in our beauty facials — not an add-on. This step delivers serum infusion, vortex extraction, deep hydration, and antioxidant replenishment.

9. LED Light Therapy

We use dermatologist-calibrated wavelengths:• Red light for collagen, healing, and elasticity• Blue light for acne and inflammation• Near-infrared for deep tissue recovery

This step supports long-term rejuvenation.

10. Oxygen Infusion & Finishing Products

Whenever appropriate, we add oxygen infusion to improve circulation and glow. We finish with:• Toner• Targeted serums• Eye treatment• Moisturizer• Mineral sunscreen

All from my own clean, dermatologist-formulated Dr. Lazuk Cosmetics® line.

Your skin leaves calm, glassy, hydrated, sculpted, and truly transformed.

Our Ingredient Philosophy: Clean, High-Performing, Dermatologist-Formulated

Every product we use in our facials is created with:• Organic plant extracts• Peptides and growth factors• Hyaluronic acid• Ceramides• Centella Asiatica• Resveratrol• Licorice root• Vitamin C• Green tea• Zero fragrances, parabens, sulfates, mineral oils, or irritants

Your facial should feed your skin, not overwhelm it.

What Sets Dr. Lazuk Esthetics® Apart

Clients tell us the difference is palpable. But here is what I believe sets us apart:

• We treat facials as therapy, not pampering.• We take our time — always

• We integrate Western dermatology with Eastern rejuvenation principles

• We combine medical-grade technology with natural, clean formulations

• Our estheticians train directly under me on skin biology and treatment theory

• We focus on restoring skin health first, beauty second — because one fuels the other.

• Our 90-minute facial is one of the most comprehensive treatments in the region.

When you care for skin as deeply as we do, the results are undeniable.

We call this our "European Standard of Excellence".

My Thoughts

If you’ve ever left a facial feeling underwhelmed… It’s not your skin. It’s the treatment.

Your skin wants to thrive. It wants nourishment, circulation, oxygenation, hydration, exfoliation, and care — in the right order, at the right intensity, with the right ingredients. When you give it that level of attention, your skin reveals a glow that feels almost emotional.

I created our comprehensive 90-minute facial because my clients were tired of spending money on incomplete treatments that did little more than wash their face. You deserve a facial that respects the biology of your skin — and honors the time you invest in yourself.

May your skin glow as brightly as your heart.
