The Treatment
Clients who are tired of "one-size-fits-all" skincare
Your skin changes with the seasons, your stress levels, and your hormones. Why should your facial stay the same? The Custom Facial is our most popular offering because it removes the guesswork. Whether you're dealing with "maskne" breakouts, urban dehydration from the Chicago wind, or just a general lack of "vibe," your aesthetician will curate a sequence of medical-grade products and techniques to bring your complexion back to its peak. It’s high-performance care with a personal touch.
At Essence Medspa, "Custom" isn't just a buzzword. We analyze your skin under a magnifying lens to choose the exact enzymes, acids, and masks that will move the needle for you.
- Targeted Correction We pivot the treatment to focus on your main concern—be it congestion, dullness, or sensitivity.
- Clinical Potency We use physician-directed brands like ZO Skin Health and G.M. Collin for results that last long after you leave.
- Lymphatic Drainage Includes specialized facial massage to de-puff the eyes and define the jawline.
- Sensory Grounding Even though the results are clinical, the experience is pure sanctuary, featuring aromatic steams and hot towels.

Frequently Asked Questions
Good Questions, Clear Answers
Every facial protocol is refined around your skin on the day of your visit. These treatment-specific notes come directly from the facial guide for this service.
How do you decide what products to use?
We look at your skin’s hydration levels, pore congestion, and sensitivity. We also talk about your current at-home routine to make sure our treatment complements your lifestyle.
Will I leave red?
We aim for a "glow," not a "flush." While extractions can cause minor temporary redness, we use cooling masks and anti-inflammatory serums to ensure you walk out looking refreshed.
Does this include extractions?
Yes! If your skin needs it, extractions are a standard part of the Custom Facial. We perform them with clinical precision to keep your pores clear without damaging the tissue.
Can I get this if I’m pregnant?
Absolutely. We have a full range of pregnancy-safe clinical products to ensure both you and the bump are glowing safely.
How often should I book?
Once every 4 to 6 weeks. This aligns with your skin’s natural cellular turnover cycle, ensuring we’re always working with a fresh, healthy surface.
