Facials

Professional skin treatments that cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate the face. May target acne, aging, or dullness.

What is Facials

A home skin care routine with good products can help keep a healthy complexion, but occasionally you may want a little more help with a medical-grade facial. Selected based on the needs and concerns of your complexion, Dr. Lauren C. Payne recommends regular professional facials for her New Orleans, LA patients to keep their complexion radiant and healthy. After a consultation to assess both visible and hidden skin damage, the best products and techniques will be selected to treat your complexion. To further rejuvenate and pamper your skin, customize your facial by adding another treatment, like a chemical peel, microdermabrasion, or BOTOX. Make your appointment to get a professional custom facial at Flourish Dermatology And Aesthetics to elevate the health and beauty of your skin to a new level.
A good at-home skincare routine is essential for maintaining healthy skin, but sometimes your complexion needs an extra boost. The BelaMD Microdermabrasion Hydrating Facial is a medical-grade skin treatment designed to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate, and refresh the skin for a smoother, brighter, more radiant complexion.
At Flourish Dermatology & Aesthetics, BelaMD treatments are customized based on your skin type and individual concerns. The treatment combines advanced exfoliation and cleansing with targeted serum infusion to help remove dead skin buildup, clear congested pores, replenish hydration, and improve the overall appearance and feel of your skin.

How do we treat Facials

Your BelaMD treatment begins with an assessment of your skin to determine the best approach for your complexion and concerns.

The treatment uses the BelaMD diamond-tip microdermabrasion system to gently exfoliate the surface of the skin, removing dead skin cells and buildup while improving skin smoothness and clarity. The system also helps cleanse and refresh congested pores.

Targeted BelaMD solutions and serums are then incorporated into the treatment to help hydrate and nourish the freshly exfoliated skin. Depending on your skin’s needs, additional BelaMD technologies may be incorporated to further enhance cleansing, serum absorption, hydration, and overall skin rejuvenation.

Extractions may be performed when appropriate, but they are not required for every patient. Your treatment concludes with finishing skincare products and broad-spectrum sunscreen to leave your complexion hydrated, protected, and refreshed.

After Treatment

After a BelaMD Microdermabrasion Hydrating Facial, skin may appear:

  • Brighter and more radiant
  • Smoother and softer
  • More hydrated and refreshed
  • Less dull or congested
  • Cleaner and more refined
  • Better prepared for your regular skincare products

There is typically little to no downtime, making BelaMD an excellent maintenance treatment or pre-event facial when you want refreshed, glowing skin without significant recovery time.

Frequently Asked Questions

For general skin maintenance, treatments can typically be performed every 4–6 weeks. Your recommended schedule may vary depending on your skin concerns, skincare routine, and other treatments you receive.

No. While both can cleanse and hydrate the skin, BelaMD uses medical-grade technology, including diamond-tip microdermabrasion and targeted serum infusion, to provide more advanced exfoliation and skin rejuvenation than a traditional facial.

Yes. BelaMD can be especially helpful for mild congestion, excess oil, blackheads, and acne-prone skin by removing surface buildup and helping to keep pores clear. Patients with moderate or severe acne may benefit from combining professional treatments with a dermatologist-directed acne treatment plan.

BelaMD can be customized for different skin types and sensitivities. Your skin will be evaluated before treatment so the intensity and products used can be adjusted appropriately.

Not necessarily. Extractions are performed on a case-by-case basis when clogged pores are present and can be safely treated. Regular skincare and professional treatments can also help reduce the development of future congestion.

There is usually little to no downtime. Your skin may look slightly pink immediately after treatment, but most patients can return to their normal activities the same day.

We recommend allowing your freshly treated skin time to recover and absorb your post-treatment skincare. When possible, wait until the following day before applying makeup.

Many patients notice that their skin feels smoother, softer, and more hydrated immediately after treatment, with a brighter, refreshed appearance over the following days. Regular treatments can help maintain these results over time.
