If you've looked at our menu and felt unsure where to begin, you're in the company of most of our clients. The good news: you don't need to diagnose your own skin before booking. Every facial at PemSpa starts with a thorough skin analysis, and your esthetician will customize the treatment based on what your skin actually needs that day.
Book the Balanced Bliss Signature Facial.
This is our most popular starting point and the right answer for most first-time clients. It cleanses, exfoliates, treats, hydrates, and gives your esthetician room to perform extractions and customize from there. If you've been staring at the menu trying to pick something more advanced, this is usually what your skin needs first.
Best for: dullness, dryness, congestion, blackheads, uneven texture, first visits, anyone who wants a real reset.
Book the Acne Clearing Oxygen Facial.
Built specifically for skin dealing with breakouts, clogged pores, and acne-prone patterns. Deep cleansing, targeted exfoliation, careful extractions, and oxygen-based calming to bring inflammation down.
Best for: active breakouts, oiliness, clogged pores, acne-prone skin, congestion that hasn't responded to your usual routine.
Book the Balanced Bliss Signature Facial and add Dermaplaning, Microdermabrasion, or Hydroboost (Hydrodermabrasion).
These are add-ons rather than standalone services. The signature facial gives your esthetician the foundation. The enhancement targets the specific texture concern.
Dermaplaning removes peach fuzz and surface buildup, leaving skin smoother and brighter. Microdermabrasion is a classic resurfacing exfoliation for rough texture and dullness. Hydroboost is a gentler hydrating resurfacing treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates in one pass.
Not sure which? Book the 75-minute Balanced Bliss and let your esthetician choose based on what your skin can handle that day.
Book Collagen Boost Microneedling.
This is our most advanced facial. Microneedling works deeper than a traditional facial to support collagen, soften fine lines, address acne scarring, and improve firmness over time. Best results come from a series, not a single session.
Best for: fine lines, loss of firmness, acne scarring, uneven texture, longer-term anti-aging plans.
Microneedling is not the right first facial if your skin is irritated, very dry, or you're new to professional skincare. Start with a customized facial first so we can make sure your skin is ready.
This is the second most common question we get when clients see the menu.
A signature facial is for maintenance: keeping your skin clean, hydrated, balanced, and glowing with regular visits. Most people get more out of a great signature facial every four to six weeks than they do out of a more aggressive treatment once or twice a year.
An advanced facial targets a specific concern that maintenance alone won't fix: acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, deeper texture, or loss of firmness. These use techniques like microneedling, chemical peels, dermaplaning, microdermabrasion, or Hydroboost hydrodermabrasion.
If you're not sure where you fall, book the Balanced Bliss Signature Facial and your esthetician will help you map out the right plan during your first visit.
When in doubt, book the 75-minute Balanced Bliss Signature Facial.
Here's why: 75 minutes gives your esthetician enough time to evaluate your skin, perform a full treatment, do thorough extractions if needed, and add a customized enhancement based on what your skin needs. We can always shorten the treatment if your skin needs less, but booking enough time upfront is the difference between a rushed session and a real result.
Book the 75-minute version if any of these are true:
You haven't had a facial in a while. You're dealing with more than one concern. You want extractions. You're not sure whether you need hydration, exfoliation, or resurfacing. You want professional guidance before committing to advanced treatments.
