A facial is only as good as the match between your skin and the treatment in front of it. The same hour can resurface, hydrate, calm, or clear, depending on which device and which formula your skin actually needs that day. The art is in the diagnosis: reading the skin first, then choosing the treatment to suit it, rather than the other way around.

At Pink, that means HydraFacial Syndeo, clinical peels, LED, and microdermabrasion, each with a clear job and a clear candidate. This guide answers what we are asked most: which facial fits which skin, how the treatments differ, what each one costs to weigh up, and what to expect at your first visit.
