HydraFacial, facials, chemical peels and dermaplaning

Facials in Pleasanton, CA, tailored to your skin by a licensed esthetician

A facial at Radiance East Bay Aesthetics is a 45-minute signature treatment with steam, a double cleanse, exfoliation, extractions, a mask and a hand and arm massage, built around whatever your skin is doing that month. Darinka Morfin, LE, a licensed esthetician with 7 years of hands-on skincare experience, performs it in the Pleasanton studio using PCA Skin or SkinCeuticals products. The next step is a complimentary skin consultation, where Darinka looks at your skin and tells you what she would change about the routine you already have.

The signature facial

The signature facial is one treatment with a different recipe for every face. Darinka chooses the cleanser, exfoliant and mask for the concern in front of her:

  • congestion and clogged pores
  • dullness
  • sensitivity and redness
  • fine lines
  • hyperpigmentation
  • laxity

The products are PCA Skin or SkinCeuticals, professional lines the studio chose for how they perform and how they feel on the skin. Nothing is applied because it is on the shelf; it is applied because it matches your skin that day.

What happens in the 45 minutes

  1. Consultation. Darinka asks what your skin has been doing, what you use at home, and what has reacted in the past. Skin consultations are complimentary.
  2. Steam and double cleanse. Warm steam softens the skin so the two cleanses lift makeup, sunscreen and oil without scrubbing.
  3. Exfoliation and extractions. Dead skin comes off, then congested pores are cleared by hand. This is the step that makes the biggest visible difference for congested skin.
  4. Mask. Chosen for the concern: calming for redness, hydrating for dullness, clarifying for oil.
  5. Hand and arm massage. While the mask works. Regulars say this is the part they book for.
  6. Home care. You leave knowing what to use and what to stop using.

What we treat

Add-ons

Two treatments can be added to the signature facial in the same visit:

Dermaplaning can be added too, on its own or before a peel or HydraFacial.

If what you want is the suction-based cleanse with hydrating serums, that is a HydraFacial, and it has its own page.

Candidacy

Is a facial right for you?

You are likely a good candidate if you:

  • have congested, dull or reactive skin and want it handled by hand rather than by a device
  • want a treatment with no downtime, so you can go straight back to your day
  • want an esthetician to look at your routine, not only your skin
  • want an hour that is as much about the massage as the mask

Darinka works on the whole picture: what you eat, how you sleep, how much stress you carry. If she thinks something beyond the skin is driving a breakout, she will say so.

What affects the cost of a facial in Pleasanton
