Overview
What Is a Professional Facial?
A professional facial is like a personalized treat for your skin. It’s designed to clean, refresh, and give your complexion the support it needs. While at-home care is helpful, a facial uses expert techniques and products selected just for you.
Think of it as a tune-up for your skin—removing buildup, restoring moisture, and helping you look your best.
Most facials include:
- A gentle, thorough cleansing
- Exfoliation to sweep away dull skin cells
- Deep hydration to keep your skin soft and balanced
- Treatments that target concerns like acne or dryness
- Moisturizer and sun protection for a healthy glow
Every facial is unique because everyone’s skin is different. That’s why getting advice from a professional can make all the difference.
Benefits
Benefits of Facials for Your Skin
Facials are not just about relaxation. They can play an important role in keeping your skin healthy and looking its best.
Here are some of the most common benefits people notice:
Clearer, Fresher Skin
Professional cleansing helps remove oil, dirt, and debris that can clog pores and lead to breakouts.
Better Hydration
Facials help your skin hold onto moisture, which is especially helpful in warm, dry climates like Southern California.
Brighter Appearance
Removing dead skin cells can reveal smoother, more radiant skin underneath.
Support for Healthy Aging
Regular facials can help maintain skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines over time.
A Moment to Relax
Many people enjoy facials because they provide a calm, quiet break from busy schedules.
For residents in Temecula, Murrieta, and Menifee, regular facials are often part of a simple self-care routine that keeps skin looking and feeling healthy.
Setting Expectations
What to Expect During a Facial
If you have never had a facial before, you may wonder what happens during the appointment. The process is usually comfortable, gentle, and straightforward.
Here is what a typical facial might look like:
A Conversation About Your Skin
At Newman Plastic Surgery, your nurse will ask about your skin concerns, routine, and goals.
Cleansing
Your skin is cleaned to remove makeup, oil, and impurities.
Exfoliation
Dead skin cells are gently removed to help your skin feel smoother.
Extractions (If Needed)
If you have clogged pores or blackheads, they may be carefully cleared.
Treatment Products
Masks, serums, or soothing treatments are applied based on your skin type.
Moisturizing and Protection

Most facials take about 45 to 60 minutes, making them easy to fit into a busy schedule.
Our Offerings
Types of Facials We Offer
Different skin concerns call for different types of treatments. At Newman Plastic Surgery, facials are tailored to your skin’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
HydraFacial® Treatments
HydraFacial® is a popular choice because it combines cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration in one gentle treatment. Many people like it because their skin feels smoother and more refreshed right after.
HydraFacial treatments are often chosen because they:
- Feel comfortable on the skin
- Provide deep hydration
- Require little downtime
- Works well for many skin types
It’s a great option for regular care or before a special event.
Microdermabrasion Facials
Microdermabrasion is a treatment that gently exfoliates the skin’s surface. It helps remove dull skin cells and encourages a smoother, brighter appearance.
People often choose microdermabrasion to help with:
- Rough or uneven skin texture
- Mild acne scars
- Sun damage
- Dull-looking skin
The treatment is quick and typically requires little recovery time.
Customized Facials for Your Skin Type
One of the most valuable tools of a professional facial is customization. Your skin changes over time, and your treatment can change with it.
Customized facials can be designed for:
- Acne-prone skin
- Dry or dehydrated skin
- Sensitive skin
- Aging skin
- Combination skin
This personalized approach ensures your skin gets exactly what it needs.
Selecting the best facial for you
Choosing the Best Facial for Your Skin Goals
If you are not sure which facial is right for you, that is completely normal. Many people feel unsure at first because there are several options, and each one is made to address different skin concerns. A simple consultation can help you find your goals and match them with the best treatment. For example, if your skin feels congested, a deep cleansing facial may help clear buildup and refresh your complexion. If your skin feels dry, a hydrating facial can restore moisture and improve comfort. If your skin looks dull, an exfoliating facial can help brighten your appearance, and microdermabrasion may be a good choice for those who want smoother-looking skin. The goal is to choose a treatment that fits your skin’s needs and supports healthy, natural results.
Deep Cleansing and Exfoliation
Deep cleansing and exfoliation are at the heart of most professional facials because they help clear away buildup and keep your pores clean. When these steps are done regularly, they can reduce breakouts, smooth your skin’s texture, and help your everyday skincare products work more effectively. Many people also notice their skin looks brighter and feels fresher after consistent treatments. Even simple facials, done regularly, can support healthier-looking skin and make it easier to maintain results over time.
Facial Massage for Relaxation and Circulation
Facial massage is often part of professional facials because it helps with relaxation and overall skin health. This gentle technique can improve circulation, ease muscle tension, and temporarily reduce puffiness, leaving your skin looking refreshed. Besides the physical benefits, many people find facial massage very calming, making it one of the most enjoyable parts of a facial.
Serums, Moisturizers, and Professional Skincare Products
Professional facials usually use higher-quality skincare products than those you find in regular stores. These products are chosen for your skin’s needs and may include ingredients that help with hydration, repair, or protection.
Common product categories include:
- Hydrating serums
- Antioxidant treatments
- Vitamin-based formulas
- Barrier-supporting moisturizers
- Broad-spectrum sunscreen
Using targeted products during a facial can help support your daily skincare routine.

Facial FAQs
Who is a good candidate for a facial?
Most adults can benefit from regular facials, particularly those dealing with dryness, acne, uneven skin tone, or early signs of aging. Southern California’s sun exposure and dry climate make consistent skin care especially important, and our aestheticians at Newman Plastic Surgery can assess your skin and recommend the right treatment for your specific concerns.
How often should you get a facial?
Most patients see the best results scheduling a facial every four to six weeks, which aligns with the skin’s natural renewal cycle. Patients in the Temecula, Murrieta, and Menifee area often build regular facial appointments into their broader skin care routine alongside other treatments we offer, like microneedling or chemical peels, for more comprehensive long-term results.
What does a professional facial do for your skin?
A professional facial goes well beyond what an at-home routine can achieve, providing deep cleansing, exfoliation, hydration, and targeted treatment for specific skin concerns. At Newman Plastic Surgery, our aestheticians use medical-grade products and clinical techniques to address the underlying factors affecting your skin, not just the surface.
Are facials good for your skin?
Regular facials are one of the most effective ways to maintain healthy, balanced skin over time. When performed by a skilled aesthetician in a clinical setting like ours, they support long-term skin health and can meaningfully improve common concerns like uneven tone, congestion, and early signs of aging.
What is included in a facial treatment?
Most facial treatments include a thorough cleansing, exfoliation, optional extractions, targeted serums, hydration, and sun protection. At Newman Plastic Surgery, your treatment is customized based on your skin type and goals rather than following a fixed menu, so what’s included in your facial may vary depending on what your skin actually needs that day.
Can I get a facial if I have acne-prone skin?
Absolutely. Many of the facial treatments we offer are specifically designed for acne-prone skin and can help address the buildup, congestion, and inflammation that contribute to breakouts. Our aestheticians will assess your skin and select products and techniques that treat active concerns without aggravating sensitive or reactive skin.
Do facials help with acne?
Regular facials can be an effective part of managing acne by keeping pores clear, reducing buildup, and supporting a healthier skin environment overall. Combined with the right at-home routine and, where appropriate, other in-office treatments available at our Murrieta practice, facials can make a noticeable difference in breakout frequency and severity over time.
Do facials help with aging or wrinkles?
Facials can improve skin texture, hydration, and overall tone, which collectively soften the appearance of fine lines and contribute to a more youthful complexion. For patients looking to address more significant signs of aging, our team can discuss how facials fit alongside other treatments we offer, from injectables like Botox and Dysport to more advanced skin resurfacing options.
What is the best facial for my skin type?
The best facial depends entirely on your skin’s current condition, your concerns, and your goals, which is why our aestheticians assess your skin at the start of every appointment rather than defaulting to a standard treatment. Whether you’re dealing with sun damage from the Southern California climate, congestion, sensitivity, or the early signs of aging, we’ll build a treatment plan that fits.
Are facials safe for sensitive skin?
Facials are safe for sensitive skin when performed by someone who understands how to select and adjust products and techniques appropriately, which is exactly what our clinical aestheticians are trained to do. We take a conservative approach with reactive or sensitive skin types and always prioritize your comfort and the health of your skin barrier over aggressive treatment.
How long does a facial take?
Most facials at Newman Plastic Surgery take between 40 and 60 minutes, though the exact time depends on the treatment selected and any add-ons included. If you’re combining your facial with another service or treatment, your aesthetician can help you plan your appointment time accordingly.
What should I do before a facial?
In the days leading up to your facial, avoid heavy exfoliation, excess sun exposure, and introducing new active skincare ingredients that could sensitize your skin. If you’ve recently had any cosmetic treatments or procedures, let your aesthetician know at the time of booking so they can plan your facial appropriately.
What should I do after a facial?
After your facial, keep things simple: use gentle skincare products, stay hydrated, and apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen, which is especially important given Southern California’s year-round sun intensity. Your aesthetician will give you specific aftercare guidance based on the treatment you received and your skin type.
Can I wear makeup after a facial?
It’s generally best to wait at least a few hours before applying makeup after a facial to allow your skin to settle and fully absorb the products used during treatment. If your facial included extractions or more active ingredients, your aesthetician may recommend waiting until the following day to give your skin a little more time to calm.
What's the difference between a spa facial and a medical facial?
A spa facial is designed primarily for relaxation and general skin maintenance, while a medical facial targets specific skin concerns using clinical-grade products and techniques that aren’t available in a traditional spa setting. At Newman Plastic Surgery, our facials are performed in a medical environment by aestheticians with clinical training, which means a higher level of precision and more meaningful results.
Are HydraFacials better than traditional facials?
A HydraFacial and a traditional facial serve different purposes, and the better choice depends on your skin and what you’re trying to address. Our team can walk you through both options during your appointment and help you decide which treatment, or combination of treatments, is the right fit for where your skin is right now.
Is microdermabrasion included in a facial?
Microdermabrasion is available as a standalone treatment at Newman Plastic Surgery and may be incorporated into your facial depending on your skin’s needs and your treatment plan. If you’re interested in adding microdermabrasion to your appointment, mention it when booking and your aesthetician can advise whether it’s a good fit for your skin on that visit.
What Our Patients Are Saying
Smooth Threads Reviews
“I had a tummy tuck by Dr. Newman he was my surgeon in Murrieta. He did an outstanding job. I was really scared he made me feel comfortable and I was able to trust him. I was referred by some acquaintances that had everything done by Dr. Newman and they looked beautiful 🤩. I had seen his job it was done very well. I am very impressed of my tummy tuck after a year and a half . Its hardly noticeable it’s a little swollen but it looks fantastic. I had a little spot of my incision opened up. I called Dr. Newman and he took care of it instantly , the same day I was able to come in to get it checked. That week I seen him three times and took care of my incision he gave me instructions on how to clean my wound so it wouldn’t get infected. It took about 4 to 5 days for the Incision to close. It never got infected. I’m very thankful that Dr. Newman is a very caring and responsible doctor including his staff because they were there to help me too. I’m very grateful I had my tummy tuck with Dr. Newman in Murrieta . It was a great experience I’m always recommending my friends and acquaintances to go there. Its so worth it🤩🙏🏼”
Glaxy Apodaca Enriquez

“I had several consultations for a “mommy makeover” (breast lift, augmentation, tummy tuck). From the moment I met Dr. Newman, I knew he was the doctor I would eventually choose for my procedures. My initial consultation lasted nearly 1 1/2 hours. He took the time to explain my options, give his professional opinion and really listened to my concerns. Because of some past health issues, Dr. Newman felt it was too risky to do the tummy tuck and the lift and augmentation together so I opted to just do the lift and augmentation first and wait on the tummy tuck. I appreciate the fact that he really puts the health of his patients first. My recovery was smooth and I am over-the-moon happy with my results (6-months post-op). His staff is top-notch and I would highly recommend Dr. Newman’s office. He is truly an artist and it shows in the work that he does.”
Marcae Rosenvall

“Dr David Newman is an extremely consummate professional. In 1991 he fixed a botched job done by an orthopedic surgeon when I shattered my hand. At the time I could not close my hand into a fist due to extreme scar tissue. Dr. Newman went in and fixed my hand and you cannot tell that my hand was injured. I also have had breast augmentation with no problems or issues since done. I decided to get a tummy tuck and some work done to my face 6 weeks ago. Everything is looking great and I am truly grateful for his expertise and experience. I highly recommend him to anyone needing any cosmetic surgery.”
Kimberly Kordell

“Dr. Newman has given me a tummy tuck. That was in 2007. I am now recovering from a brow lift, facelift and neck lift that he did as well. I have received wonderful care. He has been able to answer all of my questions when needed. He takes careful attention to detail and precaution before surgery.”
Esther Henderson

“Absolutely amazing! Could not be happier with my results. Not even three weeks out from a tummy tuck and the results are insane. Not to mention, the staff is awesome!
Thank you so much!”
