Medical-grade facials, for skin that lasts.
Customized, results-driven facial treatments — performed under medical direction with professional-grade actives, for Lakeway, Bee Cave, Lake Travis & greater Austin.
Skincare with a medical foundation.
A medical-grade facial starts with a real skin assessment, not a menu. Performed under medical direction, it uses professional-strength actives and techniques chosen for your skin — texture, tone, congestion, hydration, and the early signs of aging — rather than a one-size protocol.
The goal isn’t a fleeting glow for the weekend. It’s measurable skin health over time, layered into a plan that can include SkinPen microneedling, other aesthetic treatments, and the internal drivers of skin quality like balanced hormones.

Real concerns, honestly matched.
Patients ask about medical-grade facials when over-the-counter routines have plateaued and they want professional results without downtime. Here’s how we think about fit — without overselling any single treatment.
Common goals
Dull or uneven texture, congestion and breakouts, dehydration, early fine lines, and overall radiance are the concerns we hear most. A customized facial supports each of these as part of a longer plan — it complements, rather than replaces, treatments like microneedling or injectables where those are appropriate.
Where deeper resurfacing fits
For more pronounced texture, pigment, or laxity, your provider may recommend pairing facials with collagen-stimulating options such as SkinPen microneedling, volume restoration with dermal fillers, or expression-line softening with Botox & Dysport. Facials keep the skin healthy between those treatments.
The skin-from-within connection
Topical care can only do so much when the internal terrain is off. Thyroid, hormones, stress, and metabolic health all show up in the skin — which is why we look at hormone balance, thyroid, and regenerative options like advanced cell-signaling treatments when they’re relevant.
Assessed, treated, and maintained.
A medical approach to skin — not a one-off pampering session.
