Skin Treatments at LUX ~ A Medical Spa

Targeted, medical-grade treatments designed to clear congestion, refine texture, and support your skin’s natural renewal process — using customized protocols that improve tone, hydration, and overall skin function from the inside out.

Restore Clarity and Balance with Advanced Skin Treatments

The health of your skin is a constant process of shedding and renewal. You may notice that your complexion has begun to feel “congested,” or that its natural glow is hidden by a rough, uneven texture that makeup can no longer smooth over. These changes are visible signs that your skin’s natural refresh cycle has slowed down. Dead skin cells, environmental pollutants, and oils build up faster than your body can shed them. When this happens, it creates a physical barrier that blocks hydration and leads to a dull, tired look that basic store-bought scrubs simply cannot fix. At LUX ~ A Medical Spa, we view skin treatments as essential medical maintenance designed to rebuild the health of your skin from the inside out.

Our Skin Treatments

We group treatments by how they work: exfoliating, renewing, and restoring, and often combine them for the most balanced, healthy-looking skin.

Our clinical approach to advanced skin maintenance

Clinical assessment and treatment planning

Success in skin rejuvenation starts with an accurate diagnosis of your skin’s current health. Our process begins with a full analysis of your skin’s oil balance, pigment history, and overall strength. We identify the specific barriers—whether they be hormonal breakouts, sun-related thinning, or sensitivity—that are keeping your skin from looking its best. This allows us to “stack” treatments, such as pairing dermaplaning with a medical-grade chemical peel, to create a plan that delivers real, measurable results.

The treatment protocol

During your session, we use medical-grade tools and sterile techniques. For HydraFacial treatments, we use a specialized system that cleans out pores while simultaneously pumping in nutrients, ensuring your skin is never left dry or stripped. For microneedling, we use the FDA-cleared SkinPen device to create tiny, precise channels in the skin. If your plan includes Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), we use a medical centrifuge to isolate your body’s own natural growth factors, which are then applied to the skin to supercharge the healing process.

Results timeline and follow-up

While many of our treatments provide an immediate glow, the most significant changes come from regular professional care. Simple treatments like dermaplaning provide instant smoothness that lasts about four weeks as peach fuzz and dead cells are removed. More intensive procedures, such as microneedling with PRP or medium-depth chemical peels, start a collagen-building phase that continues for several months. We typically recommend an initial series of treatments for specific concerns like acne scarring, followed by a maintenance schedule to keep your skin functioning at its best year-round.

Physician Supervision for Professional Skin Protocols

Skin treatments that involve “controlled injury” such as microneedling or high-strength chemical peels are medical procedures that should be performed under expert guidance. Physician oversight ensures that the treatment depth is safely matched to your specific skin type, which is essential for preventing unwanted pigment changes or scarring. At LUX, our physician-led structure means every treatment is tested for safety and effectiveness, especially when using high-concentration acids or the sterile requirements of PRP therapy. Furthermore, medical oversight is vital for telling the difference between a simple cosmetic concern and a skin condition like rosacea or cystic acne that may need a specific medical plan. Every provider at LUX is thoroughly trained in both advanced techniques and patient safety protocols, ensuring consistent, high-level care with every treatment.

Specialized treatment options and protocol design

We curate our skin treatments to address every layer of your skin, often combining different methods for the best result. For deep cleaning, the HydraFacial is our gold standard—it cleanses, extracts, and hydrates in one session. We often add dermaplaning (manually removing fine hair and dead skin) to ensure the HydraFacial’s powerful serums can soak in deeply. For patients dealing with stubborn acne or sun damage, we offer medical-grade chemical peels that provide deeper resurfacing and help even out skin tone. For those looking to firm the skin, we use microneedling by SkinPen to treat fine lines and light scarring. To elevate the results, we can add PRP, which uses your own biological “boosters” to speed up healing and grow new collagen.

Frequently asked questions about skin treatments

A medical-grade facial uses clinical-strength ingredients and FDA-cleared technology that can only be used in a doctor-supervised environment. While a spa facial focuses on relaxation, our treatments are designed to reach the deeper layers of the skin to produce real changes in texture, tone, and pore health.

Most patients feel like they have a mild sunburn for 24 to 48 hours after a session. The addition of PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) actually helps speed up the healing process by delivering growth factors directly into the skin. This reduces your downtime and helps the skin recover much faster than microneedling alone.

The choice of peel depends on your goals and how much downtime you can manage. We offer everything from “no-downtime” peels for instant radiance to deeper peels for correcting spots and texture. During your consultation, we will match the peel’s strength to your skin’s needs.

Yes. The HydraFacial is actually great for acne-prone skin because it uses a gentle suction to remove deep-seated debris and oil from the pores. We can also add specialized “boosters” that help calm breakouts and prevent future clogs without the irritation of manual extractions.

Dermaplaning is safe for most skin types, as long as there are no active breakouts or infections. It’s a great option for sensitive skin that might not handle chemical peels well. By removing the fine hair that traps oil and dirt, it leaves skin exceptionally smooth and helps your skincare products work much better.
