What Facial Should I Get? Chicago Esthetician Guide
If you’ve ever looked at a facial menu and thought “I have no idea what to choose”, you’re not alone.
Between Hydrafacials, Oxygen facials, Custom facials, and Enhancements, it can feel overwhelming. The truth is, there isn’t one “best” facial. There is only what’s best for your skin.
At Skinversity, we believe skincare isn’t one-size-fits-all. Your skin is unique, and your treatments should be too.
RECOMMENDED STARTING POINT
Start with a Custom Facial
If you’re unsure where to start, the 45-minute custom facial is always the best choice. Why? Because instead of guessing, we:
- Analyze your skin in real time
- Understand your concerns like acne, dryness, texture, pigmentation, and more
- Customize every step of the facial to what your skin needs that day
This means you’re never locked into one treatment type. Your facial evolves based on what your skin actually needs.
Best for: First-time clients · All skin types · Anyone wanting personalized results
FACIAL · INSTANT RESULTS
Hydrafacial: For Instant Glow + Deep Clean
A Hydrafacial is perfect if you’re looking for that immediate glow. This treatment uses a specialized device to:
- Deeply cleanse pores
- Exfoliate dead skin cells
- Extract congestion
- Infuse deep hydration
It’s one of the best options for dull skin, congestion, or when you want visible results right away, like before an event.
Best for: Congestion · Dullness · Large pores · Pre-event glow
FACIAL · SENSITIVE SKIN
Oxygen Facial: For Hydration + Sensitive Skin
If your skin feels irritated, dry, or inflamed, an oxygen facial is a great option. This treatment focuses on:
- Calming the skin
- Boosting hydration
- Delivering nutrients through oxygen infusion
It’s gentle, soothing, and perfect when your skin needs a reset.
Best for: Sensitive skin · Redness · Dryness
FACIAL · DEEPER RESULTS
Chemical Peel Facial: For Deeper Results
If you’re looking to go beyond maintenance and truly improve your skin, a chemical peel facial is one of the most effective treatments available. This treatment works by:
- Exfoliating the skin at a deeper level
- Accelerating cell turnover
- Improving tone, texture, and clarity
Not all peels cause heavy peeling. Many are very mild with little to no downtime. At Skinversity, we customize the strength of your peel to match your skin, so it’s both safe and results-driven.
Best for: Acne & breakouts · Hyperpigmentation · Uneven texture · Fine lines
TREATMENT · BODY
Back Treatment: Skincare Beyond the Face
Your face isn’t the only area that deserves attention. The skin on your back can experience congestion, breakouts, and dryness too. Our back treatment is essentially a facial for your back, and includes:
- Deep cleansing
- Exfoliation
- Extractions, if needed
- Hydration and targeted treatment
It’s a great option if you want clear, smooth skin beyond just your face.
Best for: Back acne · Congestion · Pre-event skin prep
