Customized facials for radiant, refreshed skin.

Facials at ProMD Health
Columbia
Clear, luminous skin isn’t achieved with a single “miracle” product—it’s the result of consistent, customized care that targets your specific concerns. From pore congestion and uneven texture to hydration levels and sensitivity, truly healthy skin requires treatments that align with your skin type, lifestyle, and long-term goals.
At ProMD Health Columbia, our facials blend relaxation with results-driven care. Each treatment is thoughtfully tailored to deliver visible improvement while supporting overall skin health. You’ll leave not only with a refreshed glow, but also with personalized guidance and a practical skincare strategy designed around your individual needs.
We commonly help patients improve concerns such as dull, fatigued-looking skin, dehydration, clogged pores, rough texture, post-breakout congestion, excess oil, and dryness that can contribute to reduced firmness. Our facial treatments are also perfect before special events, offering a smooth, radiant, camera-ready glow with minimal to no downtime.
HydraFacial
HydraFacial® is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and intensive hydration in a single session. Utilizing advanced vortex technology, it clears out pores while simultaneously infusing the skin with nourishing ingredients like antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid. This dual-action approach helps remove impurities while replenishing and protecting the skin barrier.
Suitable for nearly all skin types, HydraFacial® addresses common concerns such as clogged pores, uneven texture, fine lines, and dryness. Patients love it for the instantly smoother, brighter, more radiant complexion it delivers—without downtime. It’s an excellent choice for routine skin maintenance or achieving a healthy, pre-event glow.
Express HydraFacial®
The Express HydraFacial® provides the essential benefits of the full treatment in a condensed format. Focused on deep cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration, this streamlined option is perfect for patients seeking a quick refresh with visible results. Ideal for busy schedules, maintenance between treatments, or a last-minute glow before a special occasion, it delivers radiant skin in less time.
Fire + Ice Facial
Healthy, glowing skin isn’t typically the result of one “perfect” product—it comes from consistent, intentional care that targets congestion, refines texture, and replenishes hydration. When pores are clear and moisture levels are balanced, skin appears brighter, smoother, and more refreshed. Professional facials help reset and rebalance the complexion through deep cleansing, gentle exfoliation to remove dull surface buildup, and customized treatment steps tailored to your specific concerns—whether that includes clogged pores, post-breakout congestion, excess oil, or dryness that can make skin look less firm.
For those seeking quick, camera-ready results with minimal downtime, the Fire + Ice Facial is a favorite pre-event treatment. This dynamic facial pairs warming and cooling techniques to lightly resurface the skin and boost radiance, often leaving it noticeably smoother and more luminous the same day or by the next. Mild, temporary redness may occur—particularly for sensitive skin—and the treatment is not recommended during periods of active irritation such as sunburn or eczema flare-ups.
ZO® Facial
The ZO® Facial is a medical-grade, results-focused treatment that deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and promotes healthy skin renewal using clinically developed ZO Skin Health products. Designed to go beyond relaxation alone, this facial addresses concerns such as dullness, uneven skin tone, congestion, and early signs of aging while helping strengthen overall skin function and barrier integrity.
Each ZO Facial is tailored to your specific skin type and goals, allowing for a personalized approach that improves texture, clarity, and radiance. With little to no downtime, it’s an excellent choice for patients seeking corrective treatment as well as those looking to maintain long-term skin health and a consistently refreshed appearance.
Deep Cleansing Facial
Our Deep Cleansing Facial is created to detoxify, rebalance, and revive congested or breakout-prone skin. This treatment emphasizes deep pore cleansing, gentle exfoliation to remove buildup, and the elimination of impurities that can contribute to dullness and blemishes. When appropriate, professional extractions are performed to relieve congestion and enhance overall clarity.
Perfect for those dealing with clogged pores, excess oil, or uneven texture, this facial supports a clearer, smoother, and healthier-looking complexion. Skin is left feeling thoroughly cleansed, balanced, and refreshed—without stripping moisture or causing unnecessary irritation.
Back Facial
A Back Facial is a targeted, deep-cleansing treatment created specifically for the skin on the back—an area that commonly experiences congestion, breakouts, dryness, and uneven texture. The treatment typically includes a thorough cleanse, gentle exfoliation to remove buildup, extractions when necessary, and a customized mask to purify, soothe, and rebalance the skin.
Ideal for those struggling with back acne, clogged pores, or rough patches, a Back Facial helps improve clarity, smoothness, and overall skin health. It’s also an excellent choice before vacations or special occasions, giving you clearer, more confident-looking skin from every angle.
What to expect after your facial
Most patients are encouraged to keep their skincare routine simple for the first 24 to 48 hours after treatment:
Use gentle products and avoid strong acids or retinoids on the first day unless otherwise directed by your provider
Apply sunscreen daily to protect your skin and help preserve your results
Limit excessive heat exposure, hot environments, or intense workouts immediately after treatment—especially if you’re prone to redness
FAQ
For many patients, a Deep Cleansing Facial is an effective choice for addressing pore congestion, as it emphasizes thorough cleansing and professional extractions when appropriate. Those seeking a more technology-based treatment that also delivers intensive hydration may find HydraFacial® to be a great alternative.
A medical-grade facial is delivered under the supervision of a licensed medical provider and incorporates professional-strength products along with advanced techniques to address targeted concerns such as acne, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and uneven texture. Unlike traditional spa facials, these treatments are guided by a clinical skin assessment and are designed to achieve more corrective, longer-lasting results—while still providing a comfortable experience that is safe for most skin types.
Most patients see optimal results when treatments are scheduled every four to six weeks, aligning with the skin’s natural renewal cycle. Individuals experiencing congestion or frequent breakouts may benefit from an initial series of treatments spaced more closely together, followed by consistent monthly maintenance to help sustain long-term improvements.
Facials can be helpful for acne-prone skin by reducing pore congestion and supporting a consistent, results-driven skincare routine. That said, deeper, painful, or persistent acne may call for a more medically directed treatment plan. In these situations, a professional consultation can identify the most appropriate strategy while helping to avoid unnecessary irritation or flare-ups.
Most patients experience little to no downtime, though mild redness or temporary sensitivity can occur. If you’re planning for a special event, it’s wise to schedule your first treatment several days ahead of time to ensure your skin has time to settle and look its absolute best.
For the first 24 to 48 hours, skip strong exfoliants such as acids or retinoids, avoid excessive heat and intense workouts if you’re prone to redness, and limit direct sun exposure without protection. Keep your routine gentle and apply sunscreen daily to support healing and maintain your results.
