512.FACIALS

Clinical facials. Chosen by your skin.

A facial at 512 Skincare is a clinical treatment. That does not mean uncomfortable or cold. It means assessed, purposeful, and matched to what your skin needs that day.

We use medical-grade products, professional techniques, and an eye on where your skin is going, not just where it is.

The right facial depends on your concern, your skin type, and whether you are maintaining or actively correcting.

Not sure which facial fits

The consultation keeps the plan honest.

If you are not sure which facial fits where you are right now, a consultation lets us assess your skin, understand your history, and recommend the treatment or sequence that makes sense. We will not book you into the wrong thing.

I have been going to see Terra for facials, chemical peels and eyebrow tinting for a little over a year now. She has been nothing but professional and knowledgeable about every aspect of skin care.

It's hard to find a skincare specialist you can trust. Terra customizes every treatment specific to my skin. From waxing, facials, and dermaplaning my skin has never looked this amazing.

How we use them

A facial can stand alone or hold the plan together.

Some facials are the treatment. Some are the maintenance layer between deeper work.

We use facials to clear your surface, calm your barrier, manage congestion, and keep your skin responsive between larger modalities.

The strongest facial is not always the most active one. The right one is the one your skin can use that day.

Aftercare

Keep it simple while your skin settles.

Freshly treated skin does not need a complicated routine.

Gentle cleanser

Use a gentle cleanser until your skin feels normal.

Pause actives

Hold retinoids, acids, scrubs, and strong vitamin C for 3 to 5 days unless we tell you otherwise.

No heat for 24 hours

Skip hot showers, sweat, steam, and makeup while your skin calms.

SPF the next morning

Fresh skin is more sun-sensitive. Protect it.

The first 24 to 48 hours

Keep your routine short and gentle while your skin settles.

Keep it simple

Gentle cleanser, a hydrator, and SPF. That's the whole routine for now. Nothing active, nothing exfoliating.

Expect some redness or warmth

A flush or warmth for a few hours, sometimes into the next day, is normal. So is feeling tight or slightly tender for 24 to 48 hours.

SPF every morning

Your skin is freshly exfoliated and more sun-sensitive. SPF is non-negotiable, especially after dermaplaning.

Hands off

If we did extractions, those spots may stay a little red for a day or two. Don't pick at them.

What to avoid

A few things will irritate freshly treated skin. Skip them while you heal.

Actives and scrubs

No retinol, AHAs, BHAs, vitamin C, or physical scrubs for 3 to 5 days. They'll undo the calm we just built.

Heat and sweat

No hot showers, saunas, hard workouts, or makeup for 24 hours. Heat keeps the redness going.

Direct sun

Stay out of strong sun and always wear SPF. Sun on freshly exfoliated skin is how you trade a glow for a dark spot.

Picking

Leave extracted areas and any flaking alone. Picking is how you turn a treatment into a scar.

What's normal, and when to come back

Most people are back to feeling normal within a day or two, with the real glow showing up shortly after. Redness, mild tightness, and a little tenderness are all expected. What isn't expected: redness that's getting worse instead of better after 48 hours, swelling, blistering, or anything painful. If you see any of that, message us.

For visible correction, we plan facials as a series, usually every 4 to 6 weeks, which lines up with your skin's natural renewal cycle. One facial is a reset. A series is what changes your skin. We'll tell you exactly when to add your actives back in and when to come back in.

A clinical facial. A good hour.

A plan built around your skin, not a menu.

Medical-grade products, 16 years of experience, and a treatment selected for what your skin is actually doing.
