Facials & Dermaplaning

Radiance Medical Aesthetics Phoenix offers professional facials, dermaplaning, and microdermabrasion for skin maintenance, brightening, and exfoliation. Dermaplaning uses a surgical scalpel to gently remove the surface layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz), instantly smoothing skin texture and improving product penetration. Microdermabrasion mechanically polishes the skin surface. Custom facials are tailored to the individual's skin type and concerns. All treatments are well-suited to regular monthly skin maintenance in the Phoenix climate.

Facial rejuvenation services at Radiance Medical Aesthetics in Downtown Phoenix cover a range of non-invasive skin care treatments designed for regular maintenance, brightening, and surface renewal — particularly relevant for residents managing the effects of Phoenix's intense sun exposure, low humidity, and desert climate on skin quality. Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation technique performed by a trained aesthetician using a sterile single-use surgical scalpel held at a precise forty-five-degree angle to the skin surface. The blade glides across the face in controlled strokes, physically removing the outer layer of dead corneocyte cells (the stratum corneum) and simultaneously eliminating the fine vellus hair (commonly referred to as peach fuzz) that accumulates on the cheeks, upper lip, and forehead. The immediate post-treatment result is a dramatically smoother skin texture with a visible luminosity and brightening effect, as the light-scattering dead cell layer is removed. Dermaplaning also significantly improves the penetration of subsequently applied topical serums, moisturisers, and SPF by clearing the barrier that superficial dead cells present. Microdermabrasion provides mechanical exfoliation through a different mechanism — a handpiece emits a controlled stream of fine aluminium oxide or sodium bicarbonate crystals across the skin surface while simultaneously vacuuming them (and the dislodged dead cells) away, or alternatively uses a diamond-tip abrasive head in direct contact with the skin. The vacuum suction component provides a secondary benefit of mild lymphatic stimulation and circulation improvement in the superficial dermis. Custom facials at the studio are tailored to individual skin assessment at the time of the appointment, incorporating cleansing, exfoliation, extraction where indicated, targeted masking, and finishing hydration and SPF appropriate to the client's skin type and primary concern for the session. Monthly facial maintenance is recommended for ongoing skin health in Arizona's challenging climate.
