The Glow People Ask For By Feel

Some appointments people ask for by feel rather than by name. They want “that glow,” or whatever gave their friend glass-like skin after a recent visit.

Nine times out of ten, they’re describing a Aquafirme or one of our ultrasound-based facial treatments, and while the results are genuinely photogenic, there’s real treatment happening behind the glow.

More Thorough Than a Standard Facial

A Aquafirme cleanses, exfoliates, and extracts congestion from your pores using a specialized device, then infuses your skin with hydrating and nourishing serums in the same session.

It’s more thorough than a standard manual facial, without the redness or downtime that comes with more aggressive treatments, which is part of why results tend to be visible almost immediately.

Ultrasound Therapy: A Different Tool

Alongside Aquafirme-style treatments, we offer ultrasound-based facial therapy, which uses sound wave technology to support product absorption and stimulate underlying skin tissue.

The right choice depends on what your skin needs that day. Congestion and dullness point toward a Aquafirme, while product absorption and circulation support might point toward ultrasound therapy instead.

Who These Treatments Help

Tap each situation for detail.

The deep cleansing and extraction component makes Aquafirme treatments particularly effective for clogged pores, blackheads, or mild breakouts.
The hydration-infusion step addresses skin left dull or tight from humid summers and drier winters directly.
 
Because there’s no real downtime and results are visible almost immediately, this is consistently one of our most booked treatments before a big event.
 
How often you should come in depends on your skin type and goals, and we’ll help you land on a realistic cadence rather than pushing a fixed package.

Aquafirme & Ultrasound Facial FAQs

How is a Aquafirme different from a regular facial?

A Aquafirme uses a specialized device to simultaneously cleanse, extract, and infuse serums into your pores, producing more visible results than a traditional manual facial.

Generally none. Most patients leave with visibly brighter, more hydrated skin and no recovery time needed.

This depends on your skin type and goals. Patients managing congestion or acne-prone skin often benefit from monthly sessions, while others space treatments out further.

Yes, in most cases. We customize the treatment and any serums used based on your specific skin type during your consultation.

It depends on what your skin needs that day. We’ll talk through your goals and recommend whichever approach, or combination, makes the most sense.
