Benefits of Facials and Skincare Services

A facial service is a great way to implement good skincare hygiene and skin fitness. The benefits of student facials are far-reaching and go beyond just pricing. You will be working with knowledgeable skincare students and licensed staff that will analyze your skin and work with you to help improve your complexion.

Your face is subject to some of the harshest conditions including sun, heat, cold, pollution, and improper home regiments. Our Facial Specialist students will help you combat those negative elements with a proper analysis of the skin that will help them choose the proper Image Skincare products for your needs. You'll learn about your skin and be treated to a service created for your specific needs.

Some skincare services require advanced planning to be sure your skin is ready to receive treatment. If you are scheduling a waxing, chemical peel, or microdermabrasion service, review Pre and Post Care for Waxing Services or Pre and Post Care for Microdermabrasion and Chemical Peel Treatments.

Our Esthetics and Skincare Clinic is on the second floor of our Administration and Education Building located at 4642 San Juan Avenue. If you are unable to navigate stairs, please request a first-floor room when booking your appointment.

All services are performed by students in a supervised setting.

• Deincrustation** – galvanic current creates a chemical reaction that emulsifies (“melts”) sebum and deposits in the follicles. Very beneficial for oily/acneic skin types.
