Facials

Designed for Skin That Looks Its Best Today

Some treatments ask you to plan your calendar around them. This is not one of them. A professional facial takes under an hour, and you walk out looking better than when you arrived, with nothing to explain and nothing to wait for.

That immediacy is exactly why facials belong in a medical practice rather than only in a spa. Consistent, well-performed exfoliation keeps your skin clear, smooth, and receptive to everything else you do for it. At Revive Clinic & IV Therapy, your facial is selected and performed by a provider who understands what your skin needs and how it fits with the rest of your plan.

Our Middleburg office serves patients from across western Loudoun County and the surrounding hunt country, including Aldie, Upperville, The Plains, Philomont, Purcellville, Marshall, and Leesburg. Revive is a fee-for-service practice offering both clinical care and aesthetic medicine, so your treatment is planned by a provider who knows your full health history.

Your first appointment is simply a conversation. Your provider will look closely at your skin, listen to what you would like to change, and walk you through which facial suits it. You will leave with a clear plan, a realistic picture of your results, and no pressure to schedule anything that day.

What Is a Facial?

A professional facial removes the layer of dead cells, oil, and debris sitting on the surface of your skin, so what shows is the fresher skin underneath and so everything you apply afterward can actually reach it.

Your skin sheds and renews on roughly a four to six week cycle, and that process slows with age. The cells that linger are what make skin look dull, feel rough, and block the serums and moisturizers you have invested in. A facial moves that process along deliberately, then delivers hydration and active ingredients into skin that is finally able to absorb them.

Revive performs hydro-exfoliation using the Cytopeel system by Emage Pro. A handpiece delivers solution to the skin while gentle suction lifts away loosened debris, and nourishing serums are infused into the freshly cleared surface. Because the exfoliation is carried in liquid rather than delivered by abrasion, it suits sensitive skin that struggles with harsher approaches.

The goal is not a temporary polish. It is to keep your skin clear and functioning well, so it looks good consistently rather than only after an appointment.

Facial Options

Both of our facials are performed using the Cytopeel system, and either can be enhanced with dermaplaning. Your provider will recommend the right one based on your skin, your age, your goals, and what else is in your plan.

Our core treatment, and the right starting point for most patients. Cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and hydration in a single session. Suits congestion, dullness, dryness, rough texture, and general maintenance, and works particularly well for sensitive skin that struggles with harsher approaches.

Designed for younger skin that is still finding its balance. Adolescent skin produces more oil and congests more readily than adult skin, and it responds well to gentle, consistent professional care rather than aggressive products. This treatment focuses on clearing congestion and calming the surface, and your provider will talk through a simple routine that is realistic to keep up with at home.

Either facial can be scheduled ahead of a wedding, a photograph, or an occasion where you want your skin at its best. Your provider will advise on how far in advance to book so your skin peaks on the right day.

Most patients treat on a four to six week rhythm, which keeps skin in consistently better condition rather than cycling between fresh and dull.

Enhancement: Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning can be added to either facial. Your provider uses a sterile surgical blade held at a precise angle to gently remove the outermost layer of dead cells along with the fine vellus hair on the face.

Added before hydro-exfoliation, it clears the surface so the hydration and serums that follow reach deeper. On its own terms, it leaves skin remarkably smooth and makes an immediate, visible difference in how makeup applies.

It is the most commonly requested enhancement, and it is painless. Your provider will let you know whether it suits your skin at your consultation.

What Patients Often Notice

Results vary. Skin type, your concern, your home routine, and how regularly you treat all affect the outcome. The immediate improvement in brightness and smoothness typically holds for one to two weeks, and patients who treat on a regular schedule find their skin stays in better condition between appointments rather than returning to baseline each time.

Treatment Timeline

Most appointments run 30 to 60 minutes depending on which options you choose and whether areas beyond the face are included.

Skin looks brighter and feels smoother as soon as the treatment is finished.

Most patients apply makeup and return to normal activity right away.

The visible improvement typically lasts one to two weeks.

Most patients treat every four to six weeks, which matches the skin’s natural renewal cycle.

Your provider will recommend timing based on the options you choose and how your skin tends to respond.

What Happens During Your Visit

Your provider examines your skin, assessing type, texture, hydration, congestion, and current condition, then reviews your medical history, medications, allergies, skincare routine, and any recent treatments.

Together you will decide which facial suits your skin, whether to add dermaplaning, and how the treatment fits with anything else in your plan, since timing around other services matters.

Your skin is cleansed thoroughly and assessed under good light. If dermaplaning is part of your treatment, your skin is dried completely first, since the blade requires a dry surface to work correctly.

If you have chosen dermaplaning, your provider begins there, holding the blade at a precise angle and working across your face in small, controlled strokes. It is painless, and most patients describe a light scraping sensation.

Your provider then moves the hydro-exfoliation handpiece across your skin in sections, working through cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and hydration in sequence. Most patients describe it as a cool, gentle massage.

Serums and a finishing product are applied afterward, selected for your skin.

Your skin will be freshly exfoliated, which means it is temporarily more receptive to everything, including sunlight. Daily broad-spectrum sun protection is the aftercare instruction that matters most, and your provider will confirm when to apply it.

Set aside your active ingredients, including retinoids and acids, for a day or two. Keep your routine gentle and hydrating.

You will receive written aftercare instructions at your appointment, including guidance on when to call. Contact Revive Clinic & IV Therapy if anything concerns you in the days following treatment.

How Much Does a Facial Cost?

Pricing depends on which facial you choose, whether you add dermaplaning, and which areas are included.

Revive Clinic & IV Therapy discusses pricing during your consultation, and many patients treat on a regular schedule, which your provider will factor into the plan. You will know what is recommended and what it costs before any treatment is performed, and you are free to decline.

Your first consultation is complimentary for new patients.

First Time Considering a Facial?

If you have been putting off dermaplaning because you heard the hair grows back thicker or darker, it does not. Dermaplaning cuts hair at the surface without touching the follicle, so thickness, color, and growth rate are unchanged. The blunt cut edge can feel slightly different for a few days as it grows, which is where the misconception comes from, but the hair itself is exactly the same.

A facial is also the easiest entry point into professional skincare. There are no needles, no numbing, and nothing to recover from. You can book one on a lunch hour and return to your afternoon looking better than you did at breakfast.

Where facials genuinely earn their place is consistency. A single treatment gives you a beautiful week or two. Treating regularly keeps your skin in a better baseline condition and makes everything else you do for it work more effectively.

At your consultation your provider will assess your skin, explain which facial suits it, recommend whether to add dermaplaning, and suggest a rhythm that fits your goals and your calendar.

Why Choose Revive Clinic & IV Therapy?

Revive Clinic & IV Therapy is a nurse-practitioner-led practice. Dr. Gurpreet Bajwa, DNP, FNP-BC, is a board-certified family nurse practitioner who spent more than a decade in urgent care in Ashburn before founding Revive, and who has worked closely with dermatology, endocrinology, and internal medicine. Dr. Bajwa holds a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree and practices under a collaborative practice agreement with a physician, as Virginia requires.

Having a facial performed in a medical practice means your skin is assessed by someone who can see the whole picture. If what you are describing calls for something more than exfoliation, you will hear that. If your skin needs a gentler approach than you were expecting, you will hear that too, and the treatment will be adjusted rather than delivered as a standard protocol.

It also means your facials are sequenced correctly with everything else you are doing, so nothing works against anything else.

We are not going to give you a relaxing hour and a temporary glow. We are going to keep your skin in the condition that makes everything else you do for it work better

Enhance Your Experience

Facials keep your skin clear and smooth. Patients working toward a larger change often combine them with treatments that reach deeper.

Each recommendation is made individually during your consultation. Not every service is appropriate for every patient, some cannot be performed on the same day, and results vary. Your provider will advise on sequencing and timing

Let's Talk About the Result You Want

You know how your skin looks on its best day. Clear, smooth, catching the light rather than absorbing it, needing almost nothing on top of it. That day tends to arrive by accident. A facial is how you make it arrive on purpose.

Bring that to your consultation and describe it plainly. The clearer you are about the result you want, the better your provider can match the treatment to it and recommend a rhythm that keeps your skin there rather than returning to it occasionally.

Your first consultation is complimentary. You will leave knowing what is achievable for your skin and what it will cost, before you commit to anything.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a facial?

A professional facial removes dead cells, oil, and debris from the surface of your skin so fresher skin shows through and your skincare products can absorb properly. At Revive, facials use hydro-exfoliation, which cleanses, exfoliates, extracts, and hydrates in a single session using a water-based system rather than abrasion.

What is dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is an enhancement that can be added to your facial. Your provider uses a sterile surgical blade held at a precise angle to remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells along with the fine vellus hair on the face. It leaves the skin very smooth and makes an immediate difference in how makeup applies.

Will my hair grow back thicker or darker after dermaplaning?

No. Dermaplaning cuts hair at the surface and does not affect the follicle, so thickness, color, and growth rate are unchanged. The blunt cut edge can feel slightly different for a few days as it grows out, which is where the misconception comes from.

Which facial is right for me?

Most adults start with the Hydrodermabrasion Facial, adding dermaplaning if they want the smoothest possible finish, which is the usual choice before an event. The Teen Facial is designed for adolescent skin and its particular tendency toward oil and congestion. Your provider will recommend the right one at your consultation.

Do you treat teenagers?

Yes. The Teen Facial is designed specifically for adolescent skin. A parent or guardian will need to provide consent and be involved in the visit

Does it hurt?

No. A hydro-exfoliation facial feels like a cool, gentle massage, and dermaplaning feels like light scraping. Extractions, when needed, can be briefly uncomfortable.

Is there any downtime?

No. Most patients apply makeup and return to their day immediately. Some temporary redness is possible and settles quickly.

How often should I have a facial?

Most patients treat every four to six weeks, which matches the skin’s natural renewal cycle.

How long do results last?

The visible improvement in brightness and smoothness typically holds for one to two weeks. Treating on a regular schedule keeps your skin in better condition between appointments.

Can I have a facial before an event?

Yes, and many patients do. Your provider will recommend how far in advance to book based on the options you choose and how your skin responds.

Can a facial clear my acne or fade my dark spots?

Facials are exfoliating and hydrating treatments. They improve clarity, texture, and brightness, but they do not treat pigmentation disorders, active acne conditions, or skin conditions that require medical management. If your concern falls into one of those categories, your provider will discuss treatments intended for it.

Am I a good candidate?

Most people are. Facials suit a wide range of skin types, including sensitive skin. Your provider will confirm during your consultation.

Who is not a candidate?

Facials and dermaplaning are not appropriate for individuals with an active infection or cold sore outbreak, active or severe inflammatory acne, active rosacea, certain skin conditions, recent resurfacing procedures, or recent isotretinoin use. Candidacy is determined only after individual evaluation by a qualified healthcare provider.

What are the risks?

These are low-risk treatments, though risks exist. Possible effects include temporary redness, irritation, dryness, and sensitivity, superficial abrasion of the skin, bruising from extraction or suction, breakouts following extraction, changes in skin pigmentation, and reaction to products used during treatment. Because the treatment exfoliates, the skin is temporarily more sensitive to sunlight, and daily broad-spectrum sun protection is required afterward.

What results can I expect?

Results vary between individuals and depend on skin type, condition, home care, and treatment frequency. The improvement is immediate and temporary, typically holding one to two weeks, with better baseline skin condition developing through regular treatment. No specific outcome or duration of effect can be guaranteed.

Do you accept insurance?

Revive Clinic & IV Therapy is a fee-for-service practice and does not accept insurance.
