Facials in Des Moines

Personalized Facial Care Built Around Your Skin & Routine

At Massage Heights Ingersoll, we treat facials as part of an ongoing skin-care routine, not a standalone cosmetic service. Our licensed skin therapists serve Des Moines clients at our Ingersoll Avenue location. Before each session, your esthetician assesses your skin and asks about your concerns, lifestyle, and goals. Your treatment is then tailored to you rather than selected from a preset routine.

Dryness, congestion, excess oil, sensitivity, uneven texture, and dull-looking skin can all affect which facial treatment fits best. We design each session around your skin’s current condition, while our Wellness Consultants can help you plan care that works with your goals and schedule.

Facial Care That Adapts to Your Skin

Our Wellness Consultants take time to understand your skin’s history, your lifestyle, and what you hope to achieve. From there, we can recommend a skin-care plan based on those details. This approach connects each appointment to a routine that can change as your skin does.

We also offer massage therapy alongside skin care. If you want to include both services in your wellness routine, a Wellness Consultant can talk you through the available options.

Potential Benefits of Regular Professional Facials

A home routine may not address every concern in the same way as a professional facial. Based on your skin assessment and goals, your treatment may incorporate cleansing, exfoliation, hydration support, facial massage, and other targeted care. Changes in your skin’s appearance will vary with its condition, the treatment selected, your home routine, and consistency.

A professional facial may include care focused on:

• Deep Cleansing: Removing surface buildup and excess oil that may contribute to a congested appearance
• Exfoliation: Addressing dead skin cells to support a smoother-looking surface
• Hydration Support: Providing moisture-focused care for skin that feels dry or dehydrated
• Facial Massage: Adding a restorative element to the treatment experience
• Targeted Care: Selecting treatment steps for concerns such as sensitivity, uneven texture, dullness, or visible signs of aging

How Often Should You Get a Facial?

The right frequency depends on your skin type, sensitivity, current concerns, home routine, and goals. During your first visit, your esthetician will assess your skin and recommend a treatment cadence based on those factors. Someone preparing for a seasonal transition or pursuing a particular skin-care goal may follow a different schedule from someone seeking general maintenance.

Care between sessions also matters. For clients interested in recurring facial and wellness care, our membership program offers a way to make appointments part of an ongoing routine.

Choose a Facial Treatment for Your Current Concerns

Our facial menu includes options for a range of skin types and concerns. Sessions are available in 60-minute and 90-minute formats, each with up to ten minutes for consultation and dressing. During your appointment, your esthetician explains the treatment and provides at-home guidance based on the care performed.

• Signature Facial: A comprehensive treatment that can include cleansing, exfoliation, hydration, and relaxation
• Anti-Aging Facial: An option for clients concerned about the appearance of fine lines, texture, or firmness
• Clear Skin Facial: An option for blemish-prone skin, excess oil, or congested pores
• Hydrating Facial: A moisture-focused option for skin that feels dry or dehydrated
• Sensitive Skin Facial: A gentle option for skin that may be reactive or easily irritated

Facials Tailored to Different Skin Types

Oily or congested skin may benefit from cleansing and pore-focused care, while dry skin may call for hydration-focused steps. Combination skin can require different approaches across facial areas. For sensitive skin, we select gentle techniques and formulations with your skin’s tolerance in mind.

What to Expect During Your Session

Your session may include a consultation, cleansing, exfoliation, extractions where appropriate, a targeted mask, facial massage, moisturizing, and SPF protection. Before treatment begins, tell your esthetician about sensitivities, active products, recent treatments, and other relevant concerns. We monitor your skin’s response throughout the appointment and adjust the treatment when needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Should I Prepare for My First Facial?

Arrive a few minutes early and bring a note of the skin-care products you currently use. This information helps your esthetician choose suitable products and techniques. You can arrive with or without makeup.

Does the Time of Day I Book My Facial Matter?

Morning and evening appointments can both work well. Consider your plans after the session, since your esthetician may recommend gentle products, sun protection, or avoiding activities that could irritate freshly treated skin. The guidance you receive will depend on your treatment and your skin’s response.

Can My Facial Be Adjusted for Sensitive Skin?

Yes. Let your esthetician know about known sensitivities, recent reactions, and products that have caused irritation. We can adjust the products and techniques used while monitoring how your skin responds during the session.
