How to Choose the Right Facial for Your Skin in NYC

Whether you want to deeply hydrate, smooth fine lines, or simply unwind with a luxurious experience, the right facial can make all the difference. As a trusted Upper East Side med spa, we specialize in customized facials designed for every skin type and concern.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to choose the best facial for your skin and highlight some of our most loved, most requested treatments.

Why Start with a Skin Consultation?

Before beginning any facial treatment, it’s essential to have your skin professionally evaluated. Our licensed aestheticians begin each session with a personalized skin consultation to assess your skin type, current condition, and long-term goals.

This step is especially important for individuals navigating women’s wellness, hormonal imbalances, or skin affected by lifestyle shifts such as pregnancy, postpartum changes, or aging.

How Often Should You Get a Facial?

For general skin maintenance: Every 8 to 12 weeks

For corrective treatments (acne, aging, pigmentation): 1 to 2 times per month

Facials are not a luxury. They are an essential part of maintaining healthy, radiant skin. Especially in urban environments like New York City, where external stressors and environmental factors often impact skin clarity, a consistent facial regimen is key.

What Type of Exfoliation Does Your Skin Need?

Exfoliation removes dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and stimulates cell turnover to restore clarity and glow. At SoVous, we offer both physical and chemical exfoliation depending on your needs:

• Physical exfoliation: Uses tools like microdermabrasion or dermaplaning to manually resurface skin. Ideal for brightening and smoothing.
• Chemical exfoliation: Uses professional-grade acids like AHAs and BHAs to dissolve debris and decongest skin. Recommended for acne-prone skin, aging skin, or dullness.

For deeper rejuvenation, we also offer chemical peels that target everything from hyperpigmentation to fine lines and wrinkles.
