Dull skin rarely means your skincare routine has failed. More often, it’s a sign that your skin is overwhelmed by congestion, dehydration, inflammation, or simply time. Environmental exposure, stress, hormonal shifts, and slowed cellular turnover all contribute to a complexion that looks tired even when you feel well-rested.
This is where a med spa changes the conversation, offering treatments that work beneath the surface rather than masking what’s happening on top. What many patients don’t realize is that glow isn’t cosmetic—it’s biological. Radiant skin reflects balanced hydration, healthy circulation, and active collagen production.
Facial treatments performed in a med spa setting are designed to restore those processes, not temporarily disguise their absence. If your skin feels out of sync with how you want to look and feel, understanding how professional facial treatments work is the first step toward lasting improvement.
Why Facial Skin Loses Its Balance
Healthy skin depends on rhythm, regular renewal, steady hydration, and calm inflammation control. When that rhythm is disrupted, visible concerns tend to stack rather than appear alone.
- Environmental Exposure. Sun, pollution, and climate stress weaken the skin barrier over time. This leads to uneven tone, dehydration, and accelerated aging.
- Congested Pores and Acne Activity. Excess oil, dead skin buildup, and bacteria can clog pores and trigger breakouts. Without professional exfoliation, congestion often persists beneath the surface.
- Dehydration. Skin lacking water appears dull, crepey, and less resilient. Dehydration also makes fine lines more noticeable.
- Inflammation and Redness. Chronic inflammation disrupts healing and collagen production. Redness and sensitivity often follow.
- Slowed Cell Turnover. As we age, skin sheds dead cells more slowly. This buildup dulls texture and blocks product absorption.
Because these factors often overlap, we offer facial treatments that address multiple contributors at once rather than treating symptoms in isolation.
What Facial Treatments Actually Do
Facial treatments go far beyond cleansing and relaxation. In a med spa setting, they are structured treatments designed to exfoliate, stimulate, hydrate, and correct skin at multiple depths.
Professional facial treatments support wrinkle reduction, clearer pores, improved tone, and healthier texture by combining technology, medical-grade products, and expert technique. Unlike at-home care, these treatments can safely access deeper layers of the skin where long-term change occurs.
Facial Treatments Designed for Hydration, Glow, and Youth
At Aqua Body Lab, facial treatments are curated to meet skin where it is and guide it toward where it needs to be. Each option supports skin health differently, allowing patients to choose treatments aligned with their concerns and goals.
Acne Laser Facial
This treatment uses Photo Revelation technology, also known as Laser Genesis, to gently warm the deeper layers of the skin. The light energy targets overactive sebaceous glands and acne-causing bacteria without damaging the skin’s surface.
Following the laser portion, a customized chemical peel enhances results by exfoliating dead skin cells and unclogging pores. This combination supports clearer skin while improving tone and texture, making it a powerful acne treatment med spa option with no downtime.
Aqua Botanical Facial
Designed as a restorative experience, the Botanical Facial begins with a deep cleanse to remove impurities and surface buildup. Customized exfoliation follows, helping lift dullness and reveal fresher skin beneath.
A botanical-infused treatment mask completes the process, delivering hydration and nourishment. This facial is ideal for patients seeking balance, comfort, and renewed glow without aggressive intervention.
Aqua Glow Facial
The Aqua Glow Facial is tailored to each patient’s skin concerns, whether acne, early aging, or general rejuvenation. By adjusting products and techniques, this facial supports hydration, clarity, and radiance in a single session.
It’s often chosen by patients who want visible improvement with flexibility built into the treatment.
Aqua Signature HydroFusion Facial
This advanced facial builds on the HydroFusion experience by incorporating a targeted skin booster and a jelly mask. The result is deeper hydration and enhanced skin comfort.
By layering hydration and nourishment, this treatment supports smoother texture and a plumper appearance, key components of youthful skin.
Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning uses a specialized blade to remove dead skin cells and fine facial hair. This exfoliation instantly smooths texture and enhances product penetration.
Patients often notice improved makeup application and brighter skin immediately after treatment. Dermaplaning is also effective for reducing the appearance of acne scars and congestion.
Enzyme Facial & Dermaplaning
This combination treatment pairs enzymatic exfoliation with dermaplaning for comprehensive resurfacing. Enzymes rebalance the skin and loosen debris, while dermaplaning removes buildup and peach fuzz.
The result is exceptionally smooth, radiant skin with improved clarity and softness.
Fire and Ice Facial
Often called the “Red Carpet Facial,” this treatment combines warming and cooling masques to resurface and rejuvenate the skin. The initial resurfacing masque stimulates renewal, while the cooling masque calms and hydrates.
Patients appreciate its ability to refine texture, reduce blemishes, and soften fine lines with minimal downtime.
HydroFusion Facial
This treatment uses patented technology to cleanse, extract, and hydrate the skin while infusing tailored serums. It addresses fine lines, pore congestion, firmness, and texture simultaneously.
HydroFusion facials are well-suited for patients seeking skin tightening treatments alongside hydration and clarity.
HydroFusion Facial with Skin Booster
Enhanced with a targeted booster, this version addresses specific concerns such as uneven tone or dullness. Immediate glow and hydration make it a favorite before events or seasonal resets.
InnerLift (Laser Genesis) – Face and Neck
Laser Genesis penetrates deeply to stimulate collagen production. This supports smoother texture, reduced redness, and improved tone without damaging the skin surface.
It’s an excellent option for patients seeking gradual rejuvenation with no downtime.
Photo Revelation (Laser Genesis)
This treatment targets scars, large pores, fine lines, and redness by gently heating the dermis. Collagen stimulation improves resilience and clarity over time.
Patients appreciate its subtle yet cumulative results.
Prime and Purify Facial
This signature treatment combines enzyme exfoliation and dermaplaning to rebalance and smooth the skin. It’s ideal for maintaining clarity and glow between more intensive treatments.
Moxi
Moxi is a non-ablative fractional laser designed to improve texture, pigmentation, and early signs of aging. It supports collagen production and overall radiance with minimal downtime.
Moxi is often used as both a preventative and corrective treatment.
Moxi with BBL (Face and Neck)
This combination pairs Moxi with BroadBand Light to address pigmentation, redness, and texture simultaneously. BBL targets deeper discoloration while Moxi refines the surface.
Together, they deliver comprehensive rejuvenation with visible brightness and smoothness.
Chemical Peels
Medical-grade chemical peels exfoliate the top layer of skin to improve pigmentation, acne, fine lines, and texture. At Aqua Body Lab, peels are customized for skin type and concern.
Peeling typically occurs days 3 to 5, with results developing over the following week.
VI Peels – Face and Body
VI Peels stimulate collagen and accelerate cell turnover. With multiple formulations available, they address acne, melasma, aging, and hyperpigmentation.
The VI Body Peel is designed for thicker skin areas, targeting acne and discoloration on the body.
Glycolic Peel
This superficial peel uses glycolic acid to gently exfoliate and brighten the skin. It’s ideal for patients new to peels or those seeking regular maintenance.
Jessner’s Peel
Jessner’s Peel treats sun damage, aging, and hyperpigmentation. It promotes smoother texture and more even tone through controlled exfoliation.
Investing in Skin That Reflects Health
A med spa offers more than surface-level improvement. It provides intentional care designed to support skin health over time. When treatments focus on hydration, circulation, collagen stimulation, and cellular renewal, the results feel natural and progressive rather than temporary or overdone.
At Aqua Body Lab in Lansing, MI, facial treatments are designed to meet patients where they are, whether the goal is clearer skin, improved texture, or long-term rejuvenation.
With a curated range of advanced facials and technology-driven options, the experience moves beyond routine maintenance and into meaningful skin transformation where glow, balance, and confidence develop together.
