Facials in Taunton

Professional facials are a gentle, effective way to support healthier-looking skin, improve radiance and give your skin the focused attention it needs.

At Taunton Aesthetics, our facials are selected around your skin type, concerns and goals. Whether your skin feels dull, dry, congested, sensitive, uneven or in need of a refresh, your treatment will be tailored to help your skin look brighter, smoother and more balanced.

We offer a choice of professional facials, including AlumierMD facials, dermaplaning, luxury dermaplane treatments, high frequency facials for blemish-prone skin and advanced facial options combined with chemical peel treatments.

Personalised facials selected around your skin type and concerns.

Professional AlumierMD skincare and clinic-grade treatment options.

Suitable for radiance, texture, congestion, dullness and skin maintenance.

Professional facials are not one-size-fits-all. Your skin may need hydration, calming, exfoliation, brightening, congestion support or a more advanced resurfacing approach.

Your practitioner will assess your skin, discuss your concerns and recommend the most suitable option for your needs. This may be a relaxing maintenance facial, a dermaplaning treatment, an AlumierMD facial or a more active treatment plan involving a peel.

The aim is to leave your skin feeling refreshed, smoother and more balanced, while giving you clear advice on how to maintain your results at home.

Professional Facials with a Personalised Approach

A good facial should do more than cleanse the skin. It should be chosen carefully, performed safely and adapted to what your skin needs on the day.

At Taunton Aesthetics, we focus on professional skin health rather than harsh or unnecessary treatments. Your facial will be planned around your skin condition, tolerance, lifestyle and longer-term goals.

If your skin is sensitive, blemish-prone, dry, dull or reactive, your practitioner will take this into account before selecting products or techniques.

Why Choose a Professional Facial?

Professional facials can help improve the look and feel of the skin while supporting a more consistent skincare routine at home.

They are often chosen as a regular maintenance treatment, before an event, as part of a skin health plan, or alongside other treatments such as chemical peels, microneedling or prescription skincare consultations.

Your practitioner will explain what each treatment is designed to do, what to expect afterwards and how often you may benefit from treatment.

What Can Facials Help With?

Dull or Tired-Looking Skin

Facials can help refresh the complexion by removing surface build-up, hydrating the skin and supporting a brighter, more radiant appearance.

Dry or Dehydrated Skin

Professional skincare products can help replenish moisture, support comfort and leave the skin feeling softer and more balanced.

Congestion and Blemish-Prone Skin

Certain facials are designed to support congested or blemish-prone skin with deep cleansing, targeted skincare and calming aftercare advice.

Uneven Texture

Exfoliating treatments such as dermaplaning or peel-based facials can help improve the feel of rough or uneven skin texture.

Fine Facial Hair

Dermaplaning gently removes fine vellus hair, often known as peach fuzz, helping the skin feel smoother and creating a fresher-looking surface.

Skin Maintenance

Regular facials can be a useful part of an ongoing skin health routine, especially when combined with appropriate home skincare.

Event Preparation

Facials are often chosen before weddings, holidays or special occasions to help the skin look fresh, smooth and more radiant.

Skincare Guidance

Your appointment also gives you the opportunity to ask questions about your routine, product use and how to care for your skin between treatments.

Facial Treatment Options

AlumierMD Facial

The AlumierMD Express Facial is a great choice if you want a professional facial but are short on time.

This treatment uses carefully selected AlumierMD products chosen to suit your skin type, condition and goals. It is designed to refresh the skin, support radiance and leave your complexion feeling clean, balanced and hydrated.

It can be suitable as a regular maintenance facial, a pre-event skin refresh or an introduction to professional AlumierMD skincare.

Dermaplane Facial

Dermaplaning is a gentle exfoliating treatment that uses a specialist blade to skim away surface dead skin cells and fine vellus hair.

This can help the skin feel smoother, look brighter and allow makeup to sit more evenly. It can also be a useful option for patients who feel their skin looks dull or textured due to surface build-up.

Dermaplaning is not suitable for every skin type, particularly where there is active inflamed acne or certain skin conditions, so suitability will be assessed before treatment.

Dermaplaning Facial with Chemical Peel

This treatment combines the smoothing effect of dermaplaning with the added resurfacing benefits of a chemical peel.

It may be suitable for patients looking to improve dullness, uneven texture, superficial congestion or lack of radiance. The peel selected will depend on your skin type, tolerance and goals.

Your practitioner will explain what level of exfoliation is appropriate and what aftercare is needed.

High Frequency Facial for Acne

This facial is designed for blemish-prone, oily or congested skin.

It combines professional cleansing, targeted skincare and high frequency treatment as part of a supportive facial for skin that is prone to breakouts. The aim is to help the skin feel cleaner, calmer and more balanced.

This is not a replacement for medical acne treatment, but it may be a helpful addition to a wider skin plan.

High Frequency Facial for Acne + BioRePeel

This option combines a high frequency facial with BioRePeel for a more advanced treatment approach.

BioRePeel is a professional peel treatment designed to support exfoliation, skin renewal and radiance. It may be considered for suitable patients with blemish-prone skin, dullness, uneven texture or post-blemish marks.

Suitability will be assessed carefully, especially if your skin is inflamed, sensitive or currently using active skincare or prescription products.

Luxury Dermaplane Facial

The Luxury Dermaplane Facial is a more indulgent version of a dermaplaning treatment, combining exfoliation with additional professional skincare steps for a smoother, fresher and more pampered finish.

It is a good choice if you want the smoothing benefits of dermaplaning with a more relaxing facial experience.

This treatment can be suitable for maintenance, event preparation or simply when your skin needs a professional refresh.

AlumierMD Facials

AlumierMD facials use professional skincare products selected around your skin’s needs. Your practitioner will choose the most appropriate products based on your skin type, concerns and tolerance.

This makes the treatment suitable for a range of skin goals, including hydration, brightness, balance, comfort and general skin maintenance.

If you are already using AlumierMD home skincare, your facial can be tailored to complement your existing routine. If you are new to AlumierMD, your appointment can also help you understand which products may be most suitable for your skin.

A Nurse-Led Approach to Skin Health

At Taunton Aesthetics, facials are carried out with a professional, skin-focused approach. The aim is not to over-treat the skin or use products simply because they are available, but to choose what is appropriate for your skin on the day.

Before your treatment, we will discuss your skin concerns, current skincare routine, recent treatments, allergies, sensitivities and any active products you are using.

If your skin would benefit from a different treatment, such as a chemical peel, prescription skincare consultation, microneedling or another skin treatment, your practitioner will explain your options clearly.

How it Works

1. Skin Assessment

We begin by looking at your skin and discussing your concerns, goals and current skincare routine.

2. Treatment Selection

Your practitioner will recommend the most suitable facial option based on your skin type, sensitivity, concerns and desired result.

3. Preparation

Your skin will be cleansed and prepared using professional products appropriate for your treatment.

4. Facial Treatment

Your selected facial is carried out using the appropriate techniques, products and treatment steps for your skin.

5. Finishing Products

Your practitioner will apply suitable finishing products to support comfort, hydration and skin protection.

6. Aftercare Advice

You will be advised how to care for your skin after treatment, including which products to use and what to avoid.

What to Expect After a Facial

After your facial, your skin may feel cleaner, smoother, softer and more refreshed. Some treatments provide an immediate glow, while others focus more on longer-term skin improvement when performed as part of a course or maintenance plan.

Mild redness or sensitivity can occur after exfoliating treatments such as dermaplaning or chemical peel facials. This usually settles, but your practitioner will explain what is normal for your treatment.

It is important to follow aftercare advice, avoid over-exfoliating and protect your skin from sun exposure after active treatments.

Aftercare Guidance

Keep Skincare Gentle

Use gentle skincare after your facial unless your practitioner advises otherwise. Avoid introducing new active products straight away.

Avoid Exfoliating Too Soon

Do not use scrubs, exfoliating acids or strong active products immediately after dermaplaning or peel-based facials unless advised.

Use Sun Protection

Daily SPF is important after any professional facial, especially treatments involving exfoliation or peeling.g may be helpful if the area is likely to rub against clothing, shoes or jewellery.

Avoid Heat Where Advised

Depending on your treatment, you may be advised to avoid saunas, steam rooms, hot baths or strenuous exercise for a short period.

Do Not Pick the Skin

If your skin feels dry, flaky or slightly textured after an active treatment, allow it to settle naturally.

Follow Your Product Advice

Your practitioner may recommend specific products to support your skin barrier, hydration and treatment results at home.

If your skin feels dull, congested, dry, textured or in need of a professional refresh, a facial consultation can help you choose the right treatment.

At Taunton Aesthetics, we will guide you towards the most suitable facial for your skin, whether that is an AlumierMD facial, dermaplaning, a high frequency facial or a more advanced treatment option.
