From deep cleansing to a glass-like glow, facials at Marvel Cosmetic MedSpa are designed for real skin and real goals. Each treatment is customized using medical-grade ingredients, with optional add-ons like dermaplaning to leave skin smooth, refreshed, and naturally radiant.
A facial is a professional skincare treatment that typically includes thorough cleansing, gentle exfoliation, extractions when appropriate, targeted masking, deep hydration, and sun protection. Each step is designed to support healthy skin function, clear congestion, and restore a fresh, radiant glow.
At Marvel Cosmetic MedSpa, every facial is customized. Your provider will assess your skin and tailor your treatment plan to address concerns such as acne, dryness, sensitivity, dullness, discoloration, or visible signs of aging.
From your very first visit to your regular maintenance appointments, we make each facial relaxing, results-focused, and completely personalized to you.
Marvel Cosmetic offers advanced, customizable facial treatments designed to boost both the health and appearance of your skin.
During your visit, your skin care specialist may capture before-and-after photos so you can clearly see your progress over time. They can also use the Optic | Slim imaging system to uncover what's happening beneath the surface, such as clogged pores, moisture balance, and areas of hyperpigmentation that are not visible in a standard mirror.
Most professional facials take about 50 minutes and can be tailored to your unique complexion and goals. Treatments may incorporate a range of tools and techniques and can be customized for deep cleansing, exfoliation, infusion of active ingredients, calming inflammation, replenishing moisture, and soothing sensitivity.
Popular options include:
The Hydrafacial is a 30-minute treatment that deeply cleanses, hydrates, and nourishes your skin while gently extracting debris from your pores with comfortable, non-irritating suction. Your specialist guides a handheld device with hydropeel tips and multi-surfaced edges across your skin to lift away dull, dead cells. At the same time, the device infuses targeted serums rich in antioxidants and hydrating ingredients, leaving your complexion smoother, dewier, and more radiant immediately after your session.
The Glass Facial is ideal for achieving ultra-smooth, refined, poreless-looking skin with a hydrated, light-reflective finish. This treatment uses microneedling to deliver a custom serum blend—often combining vitamins, peptides, and either Botox or hyaluronic acid—directly into the surface layers of the skin. The serum is gently stamped in to refine texture, soften the look of pores, and create a fresh, luminous glow. It's a popular choice before special events or photos, and with a series of treatments, it can also improve tone, soften fine lines, and reduce roughness.
Marvel Cosmetic also provides Glytone® chemical peels for targeted resurfacing. During a chemical peel, your provider applies a carefully selected chemical solution to exfoliate the outer layers of your skin. As the treated skin gradually peels, it reveals a fresher, smoother, more even-toned complexion beneath. A Glytone peel can be chosen to enhance overall skin radiance or to address specific concerns such as hyperpigmentation, oily or dry skin, acne, enlarged pores, sun damage, scarring, and other textural or tone irregularities.
Professional facials can be tailored to treat a variety of skin concerns, such as:

Treatments can be tailored for many skin types, including sensitive, mature, or acne-prone skin, with techniques and products adjusted to match your comfort level and goals.
If your skin is sunburned, irritated, or recovering from a rash or recent procedure, you may need to wait before booking. During your consultation, we'll review your skin history and confirm that a facial is appropriate for your current condition.
Many patients see brighter, smoother skin right after a professional facial, particularly when gentle exfoliation or dermaplaning is part of the treatment.
Skin often appears more hydrated, feels softer, and looks more even in tone immediately. Depending on the facial type and your home skincare routine, these benefits can last for several weeks. Consistent treatments help preserve that fresh, healthy glow and promote long-term skin wellness. For more persistent concerns, including acne, discoloration, or fine lines, a customized series of facials may be recommended to achieve and maintain optimal results.
At Marvel Cosmetic MedSpa, facials go beyond simple relaxation—they're results-driven, personalized skincare.
Our skilled aestheticians carefully evaluate your skin's condition before collaborating with you on a tailored treatment plan.

Expect a glowing complexion, refined texture, and a refreshed look that lasts well beyond your visit.
Most people benefit from a professional facial every 4 to 6 weeks, which aligns with the skin's natural renewal cycle. This rhythm helps maintain clear pores, balanced hydration, and long-term results. If you're working on specific issues such as breakouts, fine lines, or uneven tone, your skincare specialist may suggest a more tailored schedule to support your goals.
Yes. We provide soothing facials created specifically for sensitive, reactive, or redness-prone skin. During your visit, we'll review your history, current products, and triggers, then select gentle formulas and techniques that protect your skin barrier, minimize inflammation, and keep your complexion calm and comfortable.
For the first 24 hours, avoid heavy makeup, exfoliating acids or scrubs, hot showers or saunas, and direct sun exposure. Skip picking or touching your face and stick to mild, hydrating products. After your treatment, we'll send you home with personalized aftercare instructions to help extend and enhance your results.
Many facials can be safely adapted during pregnancy. It's important to let your provider know you're expecting, as we'll avoid certain ingredients and techniques, such as strong retinoids or intense heat. Your treatment will be adjusted to keep you safe and comfortable while supporting healthy, glowing skin.
Most facials require little to no downtime, and you can typically resume normal activities right away. Some advanced treatments, such as glass facials, peels, or deep extractions, may leave mild redness or sensitivity for a few hours. Your provider will explain what to expect and how to care for your skin afterward.
Facials emphasize deep cleansing, hydration, massage, and gentle exfoliation to refresh the skin's surface. Chemical peels use carefully selected acids to dissolve dead skin cells more deeply, targeting issues like discoloration, texture, and fine lines. During your consultation, we'll help you decide whether a traditional facial, a peel, or a combination approach best suits your skin and goals.
