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’s 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.

The Best Facial If You’re Not Sure: 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 (acne, dryness, texture, pigmentation, etc.)
  • Customize every step of the facial to your skin

This means you’re not locked into one type of treatment and your facial evolves based on what your skin actually needs that day.

Best for: First-time clients, all skin types, and anyone wanting personalized 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
  • Extract congestion
  • Infuse hydration

It’s one of the best treatments for events,dull skin, or when you want visible results right away.

Best for: Congestion, dullness, large pores, pre-event glow

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

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.

This treatment works by:

  • Exfoliating the skin at a deeper level
  • Accelerating cell turnover
  • Improving tone, texture, and clarity

Best for:

  • Acne and breakouts
  • Hyperpigmentation and dark spots
  • Uneven texture
  • Fine lines and dull skin

Not all peels cause heavy peeling, some 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.

Back Treatment: Skincare Beyond the Face

Your face isn’t the only area that needs attention — the skin on your back can also experience congestion, breakouts, and dryness.

Our back treatment is essentially a facial for your back and includes:

  • Deep cleansing
  • Exfoliation
  • Extractions (if needed)
  • Hydration and treatment

Best for:

  • Back acne
  • Congestion
  • Pre-event skin prep

It’s a great option if you want clear, smooth skin beyond just your face.

➕ What About Enhancements?

Enhancements are a great way to customize your facial even further and target specific concerns.

At Skinversity, we offer a variety of add-ons that can be incorporated based on your skin goals:

  • Dermaplaning → smooths texture and removes peach fuzz for better product absorption
  • LED Light Therapy → supports acne, inflammation, and anti-aging
  • HydraJelly Mask → deeply hydrates and calms the skin
  • Microcurrent → lifts and sculpts the face

We also offer more holistic and relaxing enhancements:

  • Gua Sha → promotes lymphatic drainage and circulation
  • Hot Stones → relieves tension and enhances relaxation during massage
  • Scalp Treatment → relieves stress while supporting scalp and hair health

And targeted treatments for specific needs:

  • Deep Beard Cleanse → ideal for clients with facial hair to deeply cleanse and treat the skin underneath

Every enhancement is selected based on what your skin (and body) needs that day — not just what’s trending.

 So… Which Facial Should You Actually Book?

If you’re still unsure, here’s the simplest answer:

Book the 45-minute custom facial.

It gives you:

  • A personalized experience
  • Flexibility to adjust based on your skin
  • The best overall results long-term

From there, your esthetician can guide you toward treatments like Hydrafacial or targeted add-ons for future visits.
