Facials & HydraFacials at Naya Wellness
Customized, Evidence-Informed Facials for Hydration, Clarity, Brightening & Skin Health
At Naya Wellness, every facial is designed around your skin type, concerns, and goals — whether that’s dryness, congestion, uneven tone, post-shave irritation, or the effects of sun and environmental stress. Facials are currently offered at our Chatsworth, CA location, serving Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley.
What Is a Professional Facial?
A professional facial is a structured, multi-step skin treatment performed by a trained esthetician. It typically combines cleansing, exfoliation, extractions (when appropriate), targeted serums, massage, masks, and barrier-supportive hydration — adapted to your specific skin type and concerns.
Unlike at-home routines, professional facials use clinical-grade products, controlled techniques, and skilled assessment of the skin. Components of a well-designed facial are supported by peer-reviewed dermatology research on cleansing, hydration, exfoliation, and barrier function.
Common Elements of a Professional Facial
- Gentle, pH-balanced cleansing — removes makeup, sunscreen, and surface debris without stripping the skin barrier
- Targeted exfoliation — enzymes or low-strength acids (AHAs/BHAs) selected by skin type and tolerance
- Cautious extractions — performed only when clinically appropriate to clear congested pores
- Hydrating serums and masks — humectants, ceramides, niacinamide, and barrier-supportive lipids
- Facial massage — supports relaxation and can temporarily increase local circulation
- Moisturizer and broad-spectrum SPF — to lock in hydration and protect the treated skin

During your appointment, your esthetician will evaluate your skin and recommend the most appropriate facial type and product selection. Not every facial is right for every skin — personalized assessment is essential for safe, comfortable, effective treatment.
How Professional Facials Support Skin Health
Facials are not a cure for medical skin disease, but several components of a well-designed facial are supported by peer-reviewed dermatology research on hydration, barrier function, exfoliation, and circulation.
Gentle, Effective Cleansing
Mild, pH-appropriate cleansers clean effectively while preserving natural moisturizing factors (NMF) and barrier lipids — important for sensitive skin and overall skin health.
Hydration & Barrier Support
Topical moisturizers with ceramides, glycerin, and niacinamide have been shown to increase stratum corneum hydration for up to 24 hours after a single application and improve barrier function.
Controlled Exfoliation
Enzyme and low-strength acid exfoliants help remove dead surface cells, improving radiance, texture, and product penetration — without compromising the barrier when used appropriately.
Facial Massage & Circulation
Research on facial massage shows that brief sessions can increase local skin blood flow during and for more than 10 minutes after treatment and may improve vascular reactivity over time.
Tone & Texture
Consistent use of antioxidant and barrier-supportive ingredients — combined with professional exfoliation — can support a more even tone and smoother surface over time.
Relaxation & Wellbeing
The structured, hands-on nature of a facial offers a meaningful stress-relief and self-care benefit — a component patients consistently rate as valuable in clinical satisfaction studies.

Facials for Women & Men
The science behind professional skin care is the same for everyone, but treatment goals often differ. At Naya Wellness, our estheticians tailor every facial protocol to your skin type, concerns, and lifestyle.
Facials for Women
Our female patients commonly seek facials for:
- Hydration & barrier support — especially during hormonal skin changes
- Post-acne marks and congestion — for adult acne and texture irregularities
- Brightening and tone — addressing dullness and uneven complexion
- Pre-event glow — HydraFacial and brightening protocols before special occasions
- Routine maintenance — facials every 4–6 weeks as part of ongoing skin care
Many of our female patients combine facials with microneedling or chemical peels for layered results across visits.
Facials for Men
Facials are increasingly popular with our male patients. Men typically seek facials for:
- Deep cleansing and decongestion — especially in the T-zone and beard area
- Shaving-related irritation — razor bumps, redness, and post-shave tightness
- Environmental stress recovery — sun, wind, dry indoor air, and pollution
- Texture and clarity — addressing roughness and visible congestion
- A refreshed look — without visible treatments or downtime
Men’s skin is typically thicker and oilier, which can influence product selection and exfoliation strength — your esthetician will account for this during your appointment.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Facial?
Most people with generally healthy skin are good candidates for a customized facial. A brief conversation with your esthetician helps determine which protocol is right for you.
A facial may be a good fit if you:
- Want evidence-supported cosmetic care for hydration, texture, and comfort
- Prefer professional product selection over trial-and-error at home
- Are looking for a relaxing, restorative treatment with real skin benefits
- Want a structured, recurring routine to support your at-home skincare
- Have a special event coming up and want a pre-event glow with no downtime
- Are managing dryness, congestion, dullness, or shaving-related irritation
We adapt protocols for sensitive skin, hormonal skin changes, and a wide range of skin types and tones.
When We May Recommend Alternatives
Facials are cosmetic treatments — not medical procedures. We may recommend modifying the protocol, postponing treatment, or referring you to a medical provider if:
- You have active or severe skin disease (uncontrolled eczema, severe acne, infections, or suspicious lesions)
- You are using prescription topicals or systemic medications that affect skin integrity
- You have recently had a cosmetic procedure and haven’t received clearance
- You have a known sensitivity or allergy to common skincare ingredients
For deeper concerns such as scarring, deeper lines, or significant pigmentation, we may suggest chemical peels, microneedling, IPL, or CO2 Fractional Laser.
What to Expect at Your Facial Appointment
Every facial at Naya Wellness follows a structured, evidence-guided protocol — personalized at each step for your skin type and goals.
Consultation & Skin Assessment
Your esthetician reviews your skin concerns, current skincare, medications, and any sensitivity history. Together, you’ll choose the right facial protocol for your goals.
Targeted Double Cleanse
A first pass removes makeup, sunscreen, and surface debris. A second pass uses a mild, pH-appropriate cleanser suited to your skin — hydrating for dryness, non-comedogenic for acne-prone skin.
Gentle Exfoliation
Enzyme exfoliants or mild AHA/BHA acids selected by tolerance. The goal is smoother texture and a more even surface for the next steps — without aggressive peeling.
Extractions (If Appropriate)
Performed carefully and only when indicated, to help clear congested pores while minimizing trauma. Skipped or modified for sensitive, inflamed, or medically complex skin.
Facial Massage
Focused on relaxation and lymphatic support with light to moderate pressure. Research suggests massage can temporarily increase local blood flow and may improve subjective perception of tone and contour.
Targeted Mask & Serums
Hydrating and barrier-supportive ingredients — humectants like glycerin and hyaluronic acid, plus barrier lipids and niacinamide — chosen for your skin type and current concerns.
Moisturizer & UV Protection
An appropriate moisturizer is applied to lock in hydration. Daytime appointments conclude with broad-spectrum sunscreen — as recommended by dermatology guidelines — to protect the skin afterward.
Caring for Your Skin After a Facial
Most facials require no downtime, but a few simple aftercare habits will maximize your results and protect freshly treated skin.
✅ Do After Your Facial
- Apply SPF 30+ broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning, especially the next 1–2 days
- Use a gentle, non-irritating moisturizer to maintain hydration
- Cleanse with a mild, non-active cleanser for the next 24 hours
- Stay well hydrated to support skin health from within
- Follow any specific aftercare your esthetician provides
🚫 Avoid After Your Facial
- Strong actives (retinoids, high-strength acids) for 24–48 hours
- Heavy makeup for the rest of the day, if possible
- Sauna, steam, or intense heat for 24 hours
- Direct sun exposure without protection
- Picking, scrubbing, or exfoliating at home for 48 hours
Safety, Honest Expectations & Why Professional Care Matters
Realistic Expectations
Facials are cosmetic treatments. They can support skin appearance, hydration, comfort, and clarity, but they:
- Do not permanently remove wrinkles or pigment
- Are not a replacement for medical treatment of skin disease
- Should not be used in place of dermatologist evaluation for chronic or worsening conditions
- Produce gradual, cumulative results when performed consistently
If you have a condition that needs medical evaluation, we’ll let you know and recommend appropriate next steps.
Why Professional Care Matters
At-home routines and devices have their place, but a trained esthetician brings several things you can’t replicate alone:
- Skilled visual and tactile assessment of your skin
- Access to professional-grade products at appropriate concentrations
- Controlled, safe extraction technique
- Personalized adjustments for your skin type and concerns
At Naya Wellness, every facial is selected and performed by trained professionals using tested, professional-grade products at appropriate concentrations for your skin.

We offer customized facial protocols including Hydrating & Barrier-Support Facials, Clarifying Facials, Brightening & Texture Facials, Deep Cleansing Facials for Men, Shaving-Aware Soothing Facials, and the HydraFacial. Your esthetician will recommend the best option during your appointment based on your skin type, concerns, and goals.
For most people with generally healthy skin, facials every 4–6 weeks align with the skin’s typical renewal cycle and help maintain hydration, barrier function, and clarity when combined with a good home routine. Your esthetician can suggest a cadence tailored to your specific concerns and budget.
Most facials require no downtime. You may experience mild temporary redness or warmth, especially after exfoliation, but most patients return to normal activities the same day — many notice an immediate “glow.” If your protocol included stronger exfoliation or extractions, your esthetician will give you specific guidance on recovery.
Yes — when performed with mild cleansers, non-irritating exfoliants, and barrier-supportive moisturizers, facials can be adapted for many types of sensitive skin. We adjust products, exfoliation strength, and technique to avoid impairing natural moisturizing factors (NMF) and barrier lipids. Let your esthetician know about any sensitivities or reactions you’ve had before.
No. Scientific evidence supports improvements in hydration, texture, and the appearance of fine lines and uneven tone, but facials do not permanently remove wrinkles or pigment. Stronger options — such as chemical peels, microneedling, IPL, or CO2 fractional laser — should be discussed with a licensed medical provider.
Yes. Men’s skin is also affected by shaving, UV exposure, air pollution, and dryness. Professional cleansing, hydration, and barrier support can help reduce visible congestion, soothe shaving irritation, and improve overall skin quality. We offer protocols specifically designed for thicker, oilier male skin and beard-area concerns.
Naya facials are cosmetic treatments intended to improve the appearance and comfort of your skin. They are not designed to diagnose, treat, or cure disease. We may recommend consultation with a dermatologist or other clinician when a medical evaluation is more appropriate.
The HydraFacial is a device-assisted facial that combines cleansing, gentle exfoliation, painless automated extraction, and hydrating serum infusion in one session using vortex technology. Many patients enjoy it for the consistent, comfortable experience and the immediate “glow” with no downtime — it’s a popular pre-event treatment. A traditional facial offers more variation in product selection and technique tailored to specific concerns.
Facial pricing varies by type and length. Naya members save on every facial through our Core Aesthetic Plans, making routine treatments significantly more affordable. Call us at (818) 341-8888 or book online to see current pricing and learn about membership at our memberships page.
Yes — facials work well alongside other treatments as part of a broader skin care plan. Common combinations include facials between chemical peel sessions, facials before and after microneedling, or facials as a standing routine while pursuing other goals. Your esthetician and provider can map out a sequence appropriate for your skin and goals.
