Our custom facials are designed to target and treat your skin's specific needs, regardless of your skin type or concern. They go far beyond a general cleanse, aiming to deeply purify, hydrate, nourish, and repair the skin. Whether you are seeking relief from congestion and acne, wanting to reduce the appearance of fine lines, calming sensitivity, or simply boosting your overall glow, our custom facials use a tailored blend of clinical ingredients and modalities to deliver visible, lasting improvements to your skin health.

Yes, you can certainly book a facial without a formal consultation if you are confident and familiar with the specific facial treatment you want to book.

However, if it's your first time visiting bodyvision clinic, or if you are looking to address specific or ongoing skin concerns, a consultation is highly recommended. This allows our Melbourne clinicians to properly assess your skin and tailor the custom facial to deliver the best possible results.

We make it easy to chat with us: your consultation can be held quickly over the phone, via a video call, or in person at our Prahran clinic.

The number of sessions required depends entirely on your specific skin goals and current condition. For optimal skin health and maintenance, we generally recommend a custom facial every 4 to 6 weeks. This aligns with your skin's natural cellular turnover cycle. If you are addressing a significant concern, such as persistent acne or advanced signs of aging, your technician may recommend a more intensive initial course of treatment. This will be fully discussed during your personalised consultation.

You will see immediate results right after your custom facial, including a brighter, cleaner, and more hydrated complexion. The deeper, long-term results, such as reduced congestion, a stronger barrier, or minimised fine lines, will continue to develop over the following days and weeks as your skin fully absorbs the active ingredients. Consistent treatments are key to achieving and maintaining maximum results.

Our custom facials are designed to be a relaxing and comfortable experience. While certain steps, such as deep extractions (if necessary) or the application of an active peel, may cause a brief sensation of tightness, warmth, or light stinging, the overall feeling is one of calm and rejuvenation. We always prioritise your comfort and will adjust the treatment intensity based on your feedback and skin sensitivity.

The best part of your facial is the smooth, glowing skin afterwards! Your technician will provide a simple, personalised aftercare plan based on your treatment. Generally, we advise:

• Avoid sun exposure and wear a high-SPF sunscreen daily.
• Avoid harsh, active products (like Retinols or strong exfoliants) for 24 to 48 hours.
• Do not exfoliate for a few days to protect your fresh skin.
• Keep skin hydrated using the recommended gentle moisturiser and serum.

Your aftercare is designed to protect your results and ensure optimal healing.

When performed by our trained skin specialists, our custom facials are safe and side effects are minimal. Any potential reactions are generally mild and temporary:

• Redness or flushed appearance: This is the most common side effect, especially if extractions or clinical peels were performed. It typically subsides within a few hours, though sensitive skin may remain slightly pink for up to 24 hours.
• Temporary dryness or flaking: If a deeper exfoliation or peel was used, you might experience slight dryness or flaking a few days after the treatment as the skin renews itself.
• Mild sensitivity: The skin may feel more sensitive to touch or to certain products (especially heat or sun) for 24 hours following the facial.

Your bodyvision clinician will adjust the treatment to minimise these effects and will provide specific aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. If you have a history of highly sensitive skin or allergies, please let us know during your consultation.

Our custom facials start from $59 per session. The final price will vary based on the specific facial type and the customised treatment plan designed to achieve your skin goals. Your dedicated clinician will create this plan for you during your consultation.
