What is a facial?
A facial is a professional skincare treatment designed to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and restore balance to the skin. Regular facials support healthy skin function by improving circulation, refining texture, and strengthening the skin barrier. At Vian Aesthetics in Chicago, our facial treatments are carefully customized to address each client’s unique skin concerns while promoting long-term skin health and radiance. Through a combination of advanced skincare techniques, targeted treatments, and restorative facial massage, our facials help improve hydration, support collagen production, and enhance the overall vitality of the skin.
Why Professional Facials Matter
Professional facials provide deeper results than at-home skincare alone. Treatments performed by a licensed aesthetician allow for precise exfoliation, professional extractions, barrier-repair treatments, and advanced techniques that improve skin clarity and tone. Regular facials help maintain healthy, balanced skin and are an essential part of a long-term skincare routine.
How to Prepare for Your Facial
Preparing properly for a facial treatment helps ensure your skin receives the full benefits of professional skincare while allowing your aesthetician to safely customize your treatment.
Before your facial at Vian Aesthetics in Chicago, it is important to avoid excessive sun exposure and arrive without sunburned or irritated skin. Recently sunburned skin is more sensitive and may limit certain treatments such as exfoliation or dermaplaning. Wearing daily sunscreen and protecting your skin from direct sun in the days leading up to your appointment will help ensure your skin is in optimal condition for your facial.
It is also recommended to discontinue strong exfoliating ingredients such as retinoids, chemical exfoliants, or prescription acne treatments for several days prior to your facial treatment, as these products can increase skin sensitivity.
If you have recently received injectable treatments, laser procedures, or other medical aesthetic services, please allow appropriate healing time before scheduling a facial. Arriving with clean skin and sharing your current skincare routine, sensitivities, or skin concerns with your aesthetician allows us to fully personalize your facial and deliver the best possible results.
At Vian Aesthetics, every facial is carefully tailored to support healthy skin function, strengthen the skin barrier, and promote long-term skin vitality.

Our Signature Rituals
The Vian Bespoke Ritual
Personalized skin therapy designed entirely around your skin.
A fully customized facial treatment designed to address your skin’s unique condition and concerns. The Vian Bespoke Ritual begins with a detailed skin analysis, allowing your aesthetician to tailor every step of the treatment—from exfoliation and extractions to targeted serums and restorative facial massage. This personalized facial supports skin barrier health, improves circulation, and restores hydration, leaving the skin balanced, refined, and luminous.
The Vian Reset
A restorative facial designed to calm, rebalance, and purify stressed skin.
The Vian Reset is a restorative facial treatment designed for skin experiencing congestion, inflammation, dryness, or visible redness. This treatment focuses on gently clearing impurities while calming irritation and restoring balance to the skin barrier. Through professional cleansing, controlled exfoliation, targeted extractions when appropriate, and soothing restorative products, the skin is supported as it returns to a healthier, more resilient state.
Ideal for skin that feels reactive, overwhelmed, or congested, the Vian Reset helps reduce visible redness, improve hydration, and restore clarity and comfort to the complexion.
The Vian Sculpt (with Buccal Massage)
A sculpting facial designed to lift, release tension, and redefine facial contours.
The Vian Sculpt is an advanced sculpting facial designed to refine facial contours and support natural lifting through specialized massage techniques. This treatment incorporates intraoral buccal massage, a technique that releases deep muscular tension inside the cheeks while improving circulation and lymphatic flow. Combined with targeted skincare and lifting massage movements, the Vian Sculpt helps define the jawline, soften facial tension, and enhance overall skin vitality.
The Vian Atelier Ritual
A refined facial experience where clinical skincare meets relaxation.
The Vian Atelier Ritual is a refined facial designed for clients seeking both visible results and deep relaxation. This treatment combines advanced skincare techniques with extended facial massage to stimulate circulation, improve tone, and restore the skin’s natural radiance. Each step is thoughtfully curated to support long-term skin health while creating a calming and restorative experience.
The Vian Dermaplaning
Precision exfoliation for exceptionally smooth and radiant skin.
The Vian Dermaplaning facial refines skin texture and enhances radiance through precise manual exfoliation. Dermaplaning gently removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair, allowing skincare products to penetrate more effectively while revealing a smoother, brighter complexion. The result is soft, luminous skin with improved clarity and texture.
The Vian Mom-to-Be
A nurturing facial designed for the unique needs of pregnancy.
The Vian Mom-to-Be facial is a gentle and restorative treatment designed specifically for pregnancy-safe skincare. Hormonal changes during pregnancy can affect hydration, sensitivity, and skin balance. This treatment focuses on calming, nourishing, and strengthening the skin barrier using carefully selected products and soothing facial massage techniques, leaving the skin hydrated, comfortable, and radiant.
Post Facial Care
After a professional facial treatment, the skin may be more receptive and sensitive as it begins its natural renewal process. Proper post-facial care helps protect the skin barrier, prolong results, and support optimal skin health.
Following your facial at Vian Aesthetics in Chicago, it is recommended to avoid excessive sun exposure, heat, and intense physical activity for at least 24 hours. Treatments such as exfoliation, extractions, or dermaplaning can temporarily increase skin sensitivity, making sun protection especially important. Applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen and avoiding direct sun will help maintain your results and protect the skin.
For the first few days after your facial, avoid strong exfoliating products such as retinoids, chemical exfoliants, or active treatments unless otherwise recommended by your aesthetician. Instead, focus on gentle cleansing, hydration, and barrier-supporting skincare to allow the skin to fully recover and regenerate.
Staying well hydrated and following the personalized skincare guidance provided during your visit will help extend the benefits of your facial treatment and maintain healthy, balanced skin between appointments.
It is normal to experience temporary dryness, light flaking, or minor discoloration after your facial treatment. These changes reflect the skin’s natural renewal process as it heals and regenerate. As this process completes, the skin reveals a smoother, brighter, and more luminous complexion.
