Whether you’re preparing for a professional photo shoot, a job interview, a presentation, or a special night out, glowing, healthy skin can provide that essential confidence boost. At Skinova Medspa in Midtown Manhattan, our Express Facial delivers instant results with no downtime—perfect for busy schedules and high-impact moments.
What to Expect from an Express Facial
Skinova’s Express Facial is a 30-minute, results-driven treatment that refreshes your complexion efficiently. It includes:
- Deep cleansing to remove impurities and excess oil
- Gentle exfoliation to smooth skin and boost radiance
- A customized hydrating mask
- Lightweight serums and moisturizers to seal in moisture
This non-invasive facial leaves your skin calm, clear, and plump—ideal just before makeup application, photos, or public appearances.
When to Book for Maximum Glow
For optimal results, schedule your facial 24 to 48 hours before your big event. This timeframe allows your skin to:
- Fully absorb hydration
- Calm from any minor stimulation
- Achieve a dewy, plump finish without redness
Whether it’s a wedding, networking event, performance, or a special night out in NYC, the Express Facial helps you arrive looking polished and confident.
How to Prepare for Your Facial
To ensure your treatment goes smoothly:
- Avoid exfoliants, retinoids, or active treatments for 24–48 hours before your appointment
- Arrive with clean skin, free of heavy makeup
- Skip facial waxing or strong peels for a few days beforehand
- Stay hydrated by drinking water the day before and day of your appointment
- Inform your esthetician of any recent skin issues or concerns
If you have specific goals—like reducing puffiness or achieving a smooth look under flash photography—let us know so we can tailor your experience.
Aftercare Tips to Maintain Your Glow
Post-facial, your skin will feel incredibly soft and hydrated. To maintain this glow:
- Avoid makeup for the rest of the day to let your skin breathe
- Use gentle products, avoiding acids or exfoliants for 24 hours
- Apply SPF if you’ll be outside, as your skin may be more sensitive
- Avoid saunas, hot showers, and intense exercise for 6–8 hours
- Use clean pillowcases and avoid touching your face to prevent breakouts
- Continue hydrating to support skin health from the inside out
Enhance Your Results with Targeted Add-Ons
For those seeking an extra boost, consider these optional upgrades:
LED Light Therapy Facial
This treatment uses red and blue light wavelengths to address various skin concerns. Red light stimulates collagen production, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, while blue light targets acne-causing bacteria. The therapy is non-invasive and can leave your skin rejuvenated and radiant.
Lymphatic Drainage Facial
Utilizing gentle, rhythmic massage techniques, this facial encourages the movement of lymph fluids around the face. Benefits include reduced puffiness, improved circulation, and detoxified skin, resulting in a more sculpted and glowing appearance.
