Three facials, three different jobs
Each facial treats a different concern and uses medical-grade products. Dr. Mikki reviews your skin before any of them, the same check she runs for lasers and injectables. Regulars bundle their visits through the Glow Club.
HydraFacial
A three-step hydradermabrasion treatment that cleanses the skin, extracts debris from pores, and infuses hydration in one session.
Dermaplaning
A blade exfoliation that removes the surface layer of dead skin and the fine vellus hair known as peach fuzz.
Chemical Peels
A calibrated acid solution that resurfaces the outer skin layers to treat uneven tone, rough texture, and sun damage.
Which facial treats which concern
Start from the concern rather than the name. Dehydration and clogged pores point to a HydraFacial, rough texture and peach fuzz to dermaplaning, and pigmentation or sun damage to a chemical peel. The skin assessment at consultation is what confirms it.
| Facial | What it treats | How often, and downtime |
|---|---|---|
| HydraFacial | Treats:Dehydration, dullness and congested pores. It cleanses, extracts debris from the pores and infuses hydration in one non-invasive session. | Cadence:Every 4 to 6 weeks. No downtime. |
| Dermaplaning | Treats:Rough surface texture and peach fuzz. A blade lifts away dead skin cells and fine vellus hair, which also lets skincare absorb better afterward. | Cadence:Every 4 to 6 weeks. No downtime. |
| Chemical Peels | Treats:Uneven tone, pigmentation, sun damage, fine lines and acne scarring. A calibrated acid solution exfoliates and removes damaged outer layers. | Cadence:Set individually by peel strength. Light peels flake mildly; deeper peels need a few days. |
What a facial appointment looks like
Book a consultation
Come in or call to schedule a skin assessment. Dr. Mikki or a member of her team looks at your skin first, including sensitive and pigmented skin, and that assessment is what decides the rest.
Choose your facial
The team recommends one of the three based on your skin type and what you came in for — and, on a peel, at what strength. You are told what to expect before anything is booked.
The treatment
HydraFacial and Dermaplaning take 30 to 45 minutes. Most of a facial is relaxing; extractions and peels can feel briefly sharp, and any sensation is temporary.
The next 24 hours
Leave makeup off for at least 24 hours so the skin can breathe and absorb the treatment. On a peel, expect anything from light flaking to a few days of visible peeling, depending on the strength used. Results may vary.
Downtime, aftercare and who a facial is not for
After your facial
- Skip makeup for at least 24 hours so the skin can breathe and take up the treatment.
- HydraFacial and Dermaplaning have no downtime — most patients go straight back to their day.
- A mild peel may leave slight redness or light flaking; a deeper peel can need a few days of recovery.
- Gentle, tailored versions are available for sensitive skin to keep irritation to a minimum.
- Regular facials every 4 to 6 weeks are what maintain the result rather than any single visit.
Worth knowing first
- Dermaplaning is not usually the right choice over active acne or on extremely sensitive skin.
- Peels and extractions can feel briefly uncomfortable, though the sensation is temporary.
- Peeling is proportional to peel strength, so a deeper peel means a more visible few days.
- Results vary by treatment and by skin type, and a facial works on the skin surface rather than on anything structural underneath it.
A facial works on the surface
Facials hydrate, exfoliate and renew the outer layers of the skin. Scarring, lost collagen and laxity sit deeper and need a different treatment — the practice's microneedling hub covers those. Dr. Mikki will tell you which of the two your skin actually needs.
How facials differ from microneedling
Facials work on the skin's outer layers. They hydrate, exfoliate, and renew the surface. Scarring and lost collagen sit deeper and need a different treatment, which the practice's microneedling hub covers with PRP/PRF and RF variants. Both are done at the same Southlake, TX clinic.
Choose a facial when the concern is the surface
- Dehydration, dullness and congested pores — the HydraFacial’s cleanse, extract and hydrate cycle.
- Rough surface texture and peach fuzz, which is dermaplaning’s blade exfoliation.
- Uneven tone, pigmentation and sun damage, treated by a chemical peel at a strength set to your skin.
- Maintenance rather than repair: every 4 to 6 weeks, matched to the skin’s own turnover cycle.
- Little to no downtime on a HydraFacial or dermaplaning, and flaking proportional to strength on a peel.
Choose microneedling when it sits deeper
- Acne scarring and other scar tissue, including stretch marks, which sit below the surface layers.
- Lines that come from thinning skin, where the answer is new collagen rather than exfoliation.
- Enlarged pores, tightened by rebuilding collagen in the surrounding skin.
- A course rather than a visit: typically three to four sessions, four to six weeks apart.
- Redness, mild swelling and sensitivity for 1 to 3 days, with noticeable change at four to six weeks.
You do not have to decide before you book
The two are not alternatives so much as different depths, and plenty of skin needs a bit of both over a year. Dr. Mikki or a member of her team looks at your skin at the consultation and tells you which category you are actually in before anything is scheduled. Individual results vary.
Why patients start here
These reflect common patient sentiment rather than verbatim quotes, and individual results vary.
I went in for a HydraFacial expecting the usual spa routine and instead got an actual skin review first, pigment concerns and all, before anything touched my face. The Dermaplaning add-on afterward made my skincare absorb noticeably better. Results may vary, but the fact that someone read my skin properly first is why I kept booking here.
A real skin consultation before the facial, not just an upsell menu.
Frequently asked questions
What facials does Medrein offer?
Three: HydraFacial, Dermaplaning, and Chemical Peels. Dr. Mikki or her team matches one to your skin at consultation.
Who looks at my skin before a facial?
Dr. Haritha Mikkilineni, MD, or a member of her team, including for sensitive and pigmented skin. That is what decides which of the three facials you get and at what strength. The products used are medical-grade.
How do I know which facial fits my skin?
HydraFacial treats dehydration and dullness. Dermaplaning treats rough texture and peach fuzz. A Chemical Peel treats pigmentation and sun damage. Your consultation confirms which one fits your skin.
What is the downtime and session length?
HydraFacial and Dermaplaning take 30 to 45 minutes with no downtime. Chemical Peel downtime ranges from mild flaking over a few days to more visible peeling on deeper peels. Dr. Mikki tells you which to expect before you book.
How often should I get a facial?
Every 4 to 6 weeks for HydraFacial or Dermaplaning, which matches the skin cell turnover cycle. Chemical Peel cadence is set individually based on peel strength. Results may vary by skin type.
Is there a membership that covers facials?
Yes. The Glow Club costs $225 per month and includes HydraFacial and Dermaplaning credits, a Chemical Peel credit, and discounts on other treatments.
Are facials safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. Gentler versions are tailored to sensitive skin to keep irritation to a minimum, and the skin assessment before your facial is what sets that. Dermaplaning is the exception worth naming: it is not usually right over active acne or on extremely sensitive skin.
Can I wear makeup after a facial?
Leave it off for at least 24 hours. That lets the skin breathe and absorb what the treatment put into it.
Do facials hurt?
Most of a facial is relaxing. Extractions and chemical peels can feel briefly sharp, the sensation is temporary, and your esthetician adjusts as they go.
Which facial fits your skin?
Dr. Mikki’s team reviews your skin and matches you to HydraFacial, Dermaplaning, or a Chemical Peel.
