About 30 minutes; no downtime; great between your regular facials
The Mini Facial runs about 30 minutes — the core cleanse, light exfoliation, treatment mask, and hydrating finish, without the longer extraction-and-mask sequence. There is no downtime, and many people book it between their regular full-length facials.
Express cosmetic facial by a licensed esthetician
An express cosmetic facial performed by a licensed esthetician: cleanse, a light exfoliation, a treatment mask, and a hydrating finish with SPF. Extractions are generally left to a full-length facial. No needles, no numbing, minimal downtime.
Face: maintenance, dullness, dehydration, pre-event glow
Performed on the face. The Mini keeps to gentle, surface-level steps, which is what makes it a fast maintenance visit rather than a deep-clean facial.
A quick professional reset between full-length facials
For skin maintenance between deeper facials, a dull or tired complexion, mild dehydration, or a quick pre-event glow. A facial is upkeep, not a treatment for stubborn acne, wrinkles, or set-in pigment, which are better addressed with peels, laser, or injectables.
Our quick 30-minute facial: the core of a facial, minus the extraction step
What is a Mini Facial?
The Mini Facial is our 30-minute facial, and at $90 it is the quick one. It runs the core of a facial — cleanse, a light exfoliation, a treatment mask, and a hydrating finish with sun protection — without the full extraction-and-mask sequence of a longer session. Think of it as a reset for the weeks a full hour is not in the calendar.
It fits two jobs well: a maintenance visit between your regular facials, and a fresh-glow tune-up the day or two before an event. For the complete treatment, see our facials menu, or step up to the 60-minute Customized Facial.
What to expect from your Mini Facial
Downtime is minimal. Your skin may look a little pink for an hour or so, especially after exfoliation, and that settles on its own. You can wear makeup and go back to your day.
For the rest of the day, skip strong actives at home — retinol and at-home acids — while your skin calms. Wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen, since freshly exfoliated skin is more sensitive to the sun.
A facial is upkeep, not a cure. It will not erase deep wrinkles, clear hormonal acne, or lift set-in pigment; those belong to chemical peels, laser, or the medical side of what we do, and we would rather tell you that than sell you a result a Mini cannot give. 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, so insurance does not cover them. Book online or call (806) 701-5840.
Why clients book the Mini Facial
NO DOWNTIME, NO RESTRICTIONS
Walk out and go straight back to work, school pickup, or wherever you were headed. Light SPF and skip the retinol at home for the rest of the day — that's it.
PRE-EVENT GLOW UP
Book the day before a wedding, photo shoot, or big meeting. Fresh, hydrated, camera-ready skin with no post-facial recovery time.
MAINTENANCE BETWEEN DEEPER VISITS
Slot into the middle of your 4-to-6-week rhythm to keep skin at its best. The Mini bridges the gap without booking a second full-length facial.
30 MINUTES START TO FINISH
Fit a professional facial into a lunch break. Cleanse, exfoliate, treatment mask, and hydrating finish — the essential reset without the extended appointment.
BUDGET-FRIENDLY AT $90
The lowest-cost entry point on our facial menu. Same aesthetician, same standards, shorter format.
Inside a 30-minute Mini Facial
Inside a Mini Facial appointment
A visit is quick and hands-on. Your esthetician takes a fast read of your skin, cleanses off the day, exfoliates lightly to lift dull surface cells, applies a treatment mask matched to your skin, and finishes with hydration and sun protection. Most people find the half hour genuinely relaxing.
Extractions are usually left out of this shorter format — those are better handled in a full-length facial with time to do them safely. The Mini runs about 30 minutes, with no needles and no downtime.
Mini Facial vs Customized, European, or Glo2
Good to know
The Mini is the lightest facial we offer. It is shorter than the European Facial ($165) and the Customized Facial ($195), and it skips the extraction step those include. That is the trade: less done per visit, in less time, for less money.
Pick the Mini for upkeep between deeper facials or when you are short on time. Pick a full 60-minute facial when your skin needs extractions or a mask matched to a specific concern. If you want smoother skin and easier makeup application, dermaplaning pairs naturally with a facial.
FAQ
Your questions, answered
We’ve answered some of the most common questions below to help make your experience simple, transparent, and stress-free.
Not typically. Extractions require more time to perform properly and to give your skin post-treatment care. If your skin needs extractions, book the Customized Facial or European Facial — both include them.
Do Mini Facials include extractions?
Immediately. Your skin looks brighter and feels smoother when you leave. The best results build over 4 to 6 weeks of consistent facial visits — one appointment is a reset, but the compound effect of regular facials is where you see real change in tone, texture, and clarity.
When will I see results from my Mini Facial?
We recommend waiting a few hours to let your skin absorb the products fully. If you must apply makeup right after, keep it minimal and use clean brushes. Skip heavy foundation and direct sun for the rest of the day.
Can I wear makeup after a Mini Facial?
Skin assessment, deep cleanse, exfoliation, treatment mask matched to your skin's needs that day, hydration, and SPF. Extractions and neck-and-shoulder massage are skipped in this shorter format — those are part of the Customized Facial's longer protocol.
What does a Mini Facial include?
30 minutes, start to finish. Most clients book over a lunch break and go straight back to their day.
How long does a Mini Facial take?
A Mini Facial is a 30-minute express version of our full facial protocol at The Spa by Sheena. Your aesthetician does a quick skin assessment, cleanses, exfoliates, applies a treatment mask matched to your skin, and finishes with hydration and SPF. It's the essential reset without the 60-minute time investment.
What is a Mini Facial?
$90. The lowest-cost facial on our menu, and membership pricing reduces per-visit cost further for clients on a regular schedule.
How much does a Mini Facial cost at The Spa by Sheena?
If you have limited time but want professional-quality skincare, yes. The Mini gives you the essential facial protocol — cleanse, exfoliate, treatment mask, hydrate — delivered by a licensed medical aesthetician who does this every day. It's the appointment version of your at-home skincare routine, done right.
Are Mini Facials worth it?
Two main differences. First, it's 30 minutes instead of 60 to 75, so you're in and out faster. Second, extractions are typically skipped in the Mini format — those need the extra time your Customized or European Facial provides. Everything else — the assessment, cleanse, exfoliation, mask, and hydrating finish — is the same standard.
How is a Mini Facial different from a regular facial?
Most clients book the Mini between their full-length Customized or European Facials — one Mini in the middle of the 4-to-6 week gap. Some clients who prefer shorter, more frequent appointments book the Mini every 2 to 3 weeks on its own.
