About 60 minutes; no downtime; many return every 4 to 6 weeks

The European Facial runs a full 60 minutes — cleanse, exfoliation, extractions, a treatment mask, serums, and a hydrating finish. There is no downtime, and because skin renews on roughly a monthly cycle, many people return every four to six weeks.

Classic cosmetic facial by a licensed esthetician

A classic cosmetic facial performed by a licensed esthetician, following the traditional fixed sequence: cleanse, warm or steam, exfoliation, extractions, a treatment mask, serums, and a finish of hydration and SPF. No needles, minimal downtime.

Face and neck: general maintenance, dullness, mild congestion

Performed on the face and neck. The same full protocol is also offered for the back as the Back Facial.

Reliable upkeep and a solid default facial

For general skin maintenance, dullness, and mild congestion, and as a dependable default when you are not sure which facial fits. A facial is upkeep, not a cure for stubborn acne, wrinkles, melasma, or scarring.

The classic full facial: the traditional cleanse-to-mask sequence

What is a European Facial?

The European Facial is the classic, and at $165 for a full 60 minutes it is our standard complete facial. It runs the traditional sequence — cleanse, exfoliate, extractions, a treatment mask, serums, and a hydrating finish — and it works for nearly any skin. If you want the whole facial and are not sure which to pick, this is the one.

It is reliable maintenance more than a targeted fix. See the full facials menu for the other options, including the quicker Mini Facial for between-visit upkeep.

What to expect from a European Facial

Downtime is minimal. Extractions can feel briefly uncomfortable, and your skin may look a little flushed right after, which usually settles within an hour or two. Most people can wear makeup the same day.

Skip strong actives at home for a day or so — retinol and at-home acids — while your skin calms, and wear sunscreen, since freshly exfoliated skin is more sun-sensitive. One facial feels good on its own; a steady habit, about every four to six weeks, is what actually shifts how your skin looks over time.

A facial is upkeep, not a cure. It will not erase deep wrinkles, clear hormonal acne, or lift set-in pigment or scarring — those belong to chemical peels, laser, or an injectable, and we will point you there when that is the right call. We do not promise a specific result from any facial. Every facial here is performed by a licensed esthetician under our medical director, Dr. Arledge, a plastic surgeon; the spa has been open in Lubbock since 2016. Facials are cosmetic and not covered by insurance. Book online or call (806) 701-5840.

Inside a 60-minute European Facial

Inside a European Facial appointment

Here is what happens in the room. We cleanse, then usually warm or steam the skin to soften it and loosen the pores. Exfoliation comes next — a gentle scrub, enzyme, or mild acid — to lift dead surface cells. If your pores need it, extractions happen here. Then a treatment mask matched to your skin, serums, and a finish of moisturizer and sun protection.

The whole visit runs about 60 minutes, with no needles and no downtime. Most people find it a genuine break as much as a skincare appointment.

European Facial vs Customized, Glo2, or Teen

How the European Facial compares to our other facials

The European Facial runs a fixed classic protocol, which suits steady skin and anyone who likes a predictable session. The Customized Facial ($195) is the same length but adapts every step to what your skin is doing that day, so it is the better pick when your skin swings — more congested, drier, or more reactive than usual.

We also bring the same full protocol to the back with the Back Facial, an area that is hard to reach on your own and prone to congestion. For general upkeep, the European is a sensible default; many people book one every four to six weeks.

FAQ

Your questions, answered

We’ve answered some of the most common questions below to help make your experience simple, transparent, and stress-free.

A 60-minute classic facial with reliable, consistent steps: cleansing, exfoliation, steam, extractions if needed, mask, facial massage with serums, and SPF. The standard European Facial format has been used for decades because it works—reliable maintenance care for healthy skin.

What's a European Facial?

European Facial: same protocol every visit, predictable steps, classic format. Customized Facial: adapts each visit to your skin's current state, varying products and emphasis. European is for patients who like reliable consistency; Customized is for patients who want personalized variety.

How is the European Facial different from a Customized Facial?

Every 4–6 weeks. The classic European tradition is monthly facials—matches the skin's natural cell turnover cycle. Maintaining the rhythm produces consistent results over time.

How often should I get a European Facial?

60 minutes. Includes consultation, treatment, and finishing care.

How long is a European Facial?

$165. Members receive discounted pricing. Package and series discounts available.

What does a European Facial cost in Lubbock?

Yes if needed—comedones (blackheads/whiteheads) and minor clogged pores are addressed through professional extraction. Active inflamed acne lesions are NOT extracted (avoiding scarring). Patients with no extraction needs have a more relaxing version.

Will I get extractions during a European Facial?

Yes—it's designed to be both treatment and self-care experience. Includes facial massage, relaxing facial environment, calming aromas. Many patients book European Facials specifically for the relaxation element on top of skin benefits.

Is the European Facial relaxing?

Minimal. Mild redness for 1–2 hours after extractions or deeper exfoliation. Skip heavy makeup and direct sun for 24 hours. Don't pick at any small spots that may surface in days after.

What's the recovery after a European Facial?

Yes—we have pregnancy-safe modifications. Tell us at booking and we'll avoid retinoids, salicylic acid, and certain essential oils. Mechanical exfoliation and gentle products throughout.
