When was the last time you really looked at your skin in the mirror and smiled? Between Chicago’s harsh winters, summer humidity, and the daily grind of city life, your complexion takes a beating. A single hour of focused, professional skin care can reset your face, calm breakouts, and leave you with that lit-from-within glow you thought only filters could deliver.
At Old Town Med Spa, the Custom Basic Facial is performed by skilled aesthetic professionals under the medical direction of Dr. Nael Gharbi and Dr. Shazel Gharbi, the MD Brothers. With more than a decade of medical expertise and years of advanced aesthetic training, they ensure every treatment meets the highest standards of safety and results.
What Is a Custom Basic Facial?
A Custom Basic Facial is a one-hour skin care treatment designed to refresh, deep clean, and rebalance your complexion. Each step is tailored to your unique skin type and concerns, so no two facials are exactly alike.
Your treatment includes:
-
Deep cleansing to remove makeup, oil, and environmental buildup
-
Gentle exfoliation to slough off dull, dead skin cells
-
Extractions to clear clogged pores and blackheads
-
A personalized mask chosen specifically for your skin needs
Benefits of a Custom Basic Facial
This facial is a great way to maintain healthy skin and address everyday concerns before they become bigger issues. Regular facials can boost circulation, support cell turnover, and help your at-home products absorb better.
-
Smoother, softer skin texture
-
Clearer, more even-looking complexion
-
Reduced congestion and breakouts
-
A relaxing, spa-like reset for your skin and your stress
Who Is a Good Candidate?
The Custom Basic Facial is ideal for nearly every skin type, whether you’re new to professional skin care or looking to maintain results between more advanced treatments. It’s a wonderful option for teens dealing with congestion, busy professionals who need a quick refresh, and anyone wanting healthier skin without downtime. Your provider will assess your skin during your visit and adjust products and techniques accordingly.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
You’ll begin with a short skin consultation so your provider understands your goals and any sensitivities. From there, you’ll relax while your skin is cleansed, exfoliated, and treated with extractions as needed. A custom mask is applied, followed by hydrating serums, moisturizer, and SPF. There’s no downtime — most clients return to work or daily activities right after.
Results and How to Maintain Them
You’ll likely notice brighter, smoother skin immediately after your appointment. For best results, monthly facials are recommended, paired with a consistent home skin care routine. If you’re looking to address deeper concerns such as fine lines, pigmentation, or acne scarring, your provider can guide you toward more advanced options in our facials menu.
