Whether you’re battling dryness, dullness, acne, or early signs of aging, your aesthetic provider at Southern Coastal Aesthetics will craft a treatment that restores your skin’s natural radiance—because prioritizing yourself with intention is about feeling empowered.
Cleanse, Exfoliate, and Nourish Your Skin
Medical-grade facials deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and nourish your skin using clinically proven technologies and pharmaceutical-grade ingredients. Unlike spa facials, these treatments are customized by your provider to address your specific skin concerns, whether that’s congestion, dryness, breakouts, or fine lines. During your session, advanced techniques like gentle suction, chemical exfoliation, or dermaplaning are used to renew your skin at a cellular level, leaving you with a fresh, glowing, and visibly revitalized complexion.

Medical-Grade Facials Available
Hydrafacial Signature
The Hydrafacial Signature is a foundational skin-renewing treatment that combines cleansing, exfoliation, gentle extraction, hydration, and antioxidant protection—all in one session. Using patented vortex technology, this facial deeply cleanses pores while infusing your skin with nourishing serums tailored to your specific skin needs. It’s ideal for all skin types and leaves your skin immediately refreshed, radiant, and balanced with zero downtime.
Hydrafacial Deluxe
The Hydrafacial Deluxe builds on the Signature experience with targeted boosters and LED light therapy. After thoroughly cleansing and exfoliating your skin, your provider selects a customized serum booster that addresses concerns such as fine lines, discoloration, or elasticity loss. Blue or red LED light is used to calm acne-prone skin or stimulate collagen. This treatment enhances skin health and vitality, offering a noticeable upgrade in feel and function.
Hydrafacial Platinum
The most comprehensive of the Hydrafacial series, the Platinum includes lymphatic drainage and LED light therapy. Lymphatic drainage helps reduce puffiness and promote detoxification, priming your skin for the cleansing, extraction, and hydration that follows. Your provider then applies targeted boosters and LED for deeper skin correction and rejuvenation. This is a full-spectrum facial for those seeking the highest level of skin refinement.
Dermaplane Facial
A Dermaplane Facial uses a specialized surgical-grade blade to gently exfoliate the skin’s surface, removing dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (commonly known as “peach fuzz”). This technique not only reveals smoother, more radiant skin but also enhances product absorption and creates a flawless base for makeup. It’s an excellent option for anyone wanting an immediate glow and improved texture without harsh chemicals or downtime.
Dermaplane Add-On
The Dermaplane Add-On is a customizable enhancement that can be added to almost any facial for amplified results. By removing the outermost layer of dead skin and fine hair before your primary treatment begins, this add-on allows active ingredients to penetrate more effectively. It’s a simple upgrade that boosts both the performance and feel of your chosen facial.
Teen Facial
Formulated for younger, acne-prone, or hormonal skin, the Teen Facial focuses on deep cleansing, gentle exfoliation, and extractions to clear congested pores and reduce inflammation. Your provider also incorporates education on proper skincare routines, helping teens establish healthy habits early. This treatment is ideal for ages 12-18.
Custom Facial
A custom facial is fully tailored to your unique skin type, condition, and goals. After a detailed consultation, your provider selects a combination of exfoliation, hydration, and techniques that may include steam, masks, massage, serums, or LED therapy. This facial is curated to meet your skin where it is—and guide it toward a place of balance and visible vitality.

How Often Should I Get a Medical-Grade Facial?
For most people, medical-grade facials can be done every 4 to 6 weeks. That’s typically how long it takes for your skin to complete a full regeneration cycle. Regular facials help maintain results and prevent new concerns from forming. If treating active acne or skin concerns, your provider may recommend a more frequent series before moving into maintenance mode.
Medical-Grade Facials FAQs
Are Medical-Grade Facials Painful?
Not at all. Medical-grade facials are effective and comfortable. Treatments like Hydrafacial use gentle suction rather than aggressive extractions, and exfoliating treatments like dermaplaning feel more like a light brushing sensation than anything sharp or invasive. You may feel tingling or warmth during some steps, but you should never feel actual pain.
Can I Wear Makeup After a Facial?
It’s best to let your skin breathe for at least 24 hours after a medical-grade facial, especially if your treatment included deep exfoliation, extractions, or active ingredients. Letting your skin rest allows it to fully absorb the benefits of the facial and reduces the risk of irritation. If you need to wear makeup, opt for clean, non-comedogenic products and avoid heavy foundation.
Will I See Results Right Away?
Yes—most clients notice an immediate glow, smoother texture, and more even tone right after treatment. However, the full benefits often continue to develop over the next days as your skin continues to regenerate. With consistent care, the results become even more noticeable.
Are Medical-Grade Facials Safe for Sensitive Skin?
Absolutely. One of the biggest advantages of a medical-grade facial is its level of customization. Your provider will assess your skin type and sensitivities before selecting products. Whether you’re prone to redness, dryness, or reactivity, your facial will be adjusted to ensure comfort.
