Anti-aging facials in Los Angeles — choosing between the 80-minute and the 2-hour route

When someone books with us about fine lines and firmness, the real decision is not which treatment sounds best. It is how much of a commitment they want to make. We offer two quite different answers, and the gap between them is bigger than the $40 price difference suggests.

The Anti Aging Facial — $155, 80 minutes

This is a facial in the ordinary sense. You come in, you have the treatment, you leave and get on with your day. At 80 minutes it sits alongside our Brightening Facial ($175) and Hydra Facial ($180) in both length and format. It is the booking most people start with, and it is the one that fits most easily into a working week — particularly in our 8:00am slot.

Microneedling — $195, 120 minutes

Microneedling is the longest appointment on our entire menu at two full hours, and it is the only one we would tell you to clear proper time for. It is not a treatment to squeeze in before something else. If you are considering it, book it on a day when the rest of your schedule is forgiving.

Whether microneedling is appropriate for you specifically — and what to do in the days afterwards — is something we go through with you in person before booking, not something to decide off a web page. Anyone who tells you otherwise online is guessing about your skin.

The third option people forget

Firmness and lines are not the only reason skin starts to look older than it did. Surface texture and dullness do a lot of that work, and they respond to different bookings. Dermaplaning ($135 as a facial, 80 minutes; or $65 as a 45-minute add-on) addresses texture directly. The Brightening Facial ($175, 80 minutes) addresses tone. Our peel add-ons — Salicylic 22% and Glycolic 30%, $25 each — are often what tips a standard facial into feeling like a noticeably bigger result.

For firmness specifically, our radiofrequency skin tightening sessions are $85 — a different approach from a facial, at a lower price per visit.

A note on expectations

We do not publish before-and-after promises or session counts, because the honest answer is that these vary a great deal between people, and a number on a website would tell you nothing useful about your own skin. What we will do is tell you plainly, in person, if we think a treatment you have asked for is not the right one for what you want — including when the answer is a cheaper booking than the one you came in for.
