Glow and Sculpt Facial

Dermaplane, Hydrate, Sculpt

A 45-minute facial that pairs the immediate smoothness of dermaplaning with the lift and relaxation of cool jade comb sculpting. A hydrating jelly mask in the middle. A heated neck pillow throughout.

The Service, in Their Words

"This 45-minute experience begins with gentle dermaplaning to exfoliate and reveal a smoother, more radiant complexion. Next, a hydrating jelly mask is applied while you unwind with a heated neck pillow, melting away tension. To finish, cool jade combs are used to massage and sculpt the face, promoting circulation and a natural lift. Leave feeling smooth, glowing, and deeply relaxed."

Why This Combination Works

Most facials do one thing well. The Glow and Sculpt does three things, in a sequence designed to compound: exfoliate, hydrate, sculpt. Each step prepares the skin for the next, and each delivers a distinct visible benefit by the time you leave the room.

Step 1: Gentle dermaplaning

Your esthetician uses a sterile blade to gently remove the topmost layer of dead skin cells and the fine peach fuzz that traps light and product. This is what produces the immediate smooth-to-the-touch feeling. It also primes the skin so the jelly mask and any finishing serum penetrate more evenly.

If you've never had dermaplaning, you might be expecting something invasive. It's not. The blade glides across taut skin at a precise shallow angle. You'll feel almost nothing — a gentle tickling sensation more than anything else. More on dermaplaning here.

Step 2: Hydrating jelly mask + heated neck pillow

While the dermaplaning prep settles, your esthetician applies a hydrating jelly mask — a soft, cool gel that delivers concentrated hydration to skin that's just had its protective dead-cell layer removed. The jelly stays on for several minutes, slowly absorbing into the skin.

This is where the heated neck pillow comes in. Warm support under the back of your neck releases the chronic tension most of us carry there from desk work and phone use. You'll feel your shoulders drop. Many guests report this is the moment they actually stop thinking about their day.

Step 3: Cool jade comb sculpting

Your esthetician finishes the session with cool jade combs — small ridged stone tools used to massage and sculpt the face along specific drainage lines. The technique draws from gua sha (Traditional Chinese Medicine) but uses a more focused tool shape designed for short, targeted lift movements.

Cool jade does several things at once: it temporarily constricts surface blood vessels, which reduces visible puffiness; it stimulates lymphatic flow, which clears the day's accumulated fluid; and the mechanical work releases tension in the small muscles of the face. The visible effect is a sculpted, lifted, awake-looking face within minutes.

The temperature contrast is the secret

The combination of warm dermaplaning, room-temperature jelly mask, and cool jade combs creates a temperature-contrast experience that's unusually soothing. Many guests describe this as the most genuinely relaxing facial we offer — without sacrificing any of the visible-results work.

What to Expect

Plan to arrive about 5 minutes early

We're by appointment only, so plan to arrive 5 minutes early. We'll text you when it's time to come inside. You'll be greeted with your choice of soothing tea or cold water, settled in a robe, and walked back to a private treatment room.

The 45 minutes

Cleansing prep, then dermaplaning (10–12 minutes), then jelly mask application with the heated neck pillow in place (10–12 minutes), then jade comb sculpting (15–18 minutes), then finishing serum and SPF.

What you'll see in the mirror

Smoother skin from the dermaplaning. Plumper, more even-toned skin from the hydration. Reduced puffiness and a more sculpted look from the jade work. Most guests immediately compare before-and-after.

What you'll feel

Tension you didn't realize you were holding will be gone from your shoulders and jaw. The cool-jade-on-warm-cheeks sensation lingers pleasantly. You'll move slower for the rest of the day.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between jade comb sculpting and gua sha?

Same broad tradition, slightly different tools and intent. Both come from Traditional Chinese Medicine and use cool stone tools to massage and stimulate the face. Gua sha uses a flat-edge stone (often jade, rose quartz, or bian stone) with longer scraping strokes. Jade combs are typically smaller, with multiple ridges, designed for shorter targeted lift movements. The effects are similar — improved circulation, lymphatic drainage, and a sculpted appearance — and many practitioners use both.

Why are the jade combs cool?

Cool jade constricts surface blood vessels temporarily, reduces puffiness, and feels deeply soothing on freshly dermaplaned skin. The temperature contrast with the warm dermaplaning and heated neck pillow is part of what makes this facial so distinctively relaxing.

How is this different from a regular dermaplane facial?

Both start with dermaplaning. The Dermaplane Facial then focuses on traditional massage, masks, and product layering. The Glow and Sculpt swaps in the jade comb sculpting massage and a jelly mask phase, with a heated neck pillow component. It's the same dermaplaning foundation with a different second half — more focused on lift and sculpting than on layered product work.

How long do the sculpting effects last?

Visible lift and reduced puffiness typically last 3–7 days from a single session. The dermaplaning component's smoothness lasts about 3 weeks. With monthly sessions, the cumulative effect compounds — many regulars report their face just looks "set" more often.

Can I do this during pregnancy?

Yes — both dermaplaning and jade sculpting are pregnancy-safe. Let your esthetician know so she can choose appropriate finishing products (avoiding retinol or salicylic acid).

Will my skin be sensitive afterward?

Possibly briefly. Freshly dermaplaned skin is slightly more sun-sensitive for 2–3 days; SPF is essential. The jade sculpting and jelly mask are non-irritating. No acid exfoliation, no extractions, no heat.
