CALM & BALANCE FACIAL IN NEW YORK CITY

The Calm & Balance facial is a gentle, deeply restorative treatment specifically formulated for sensitive, reactive, or redness-prone skin. Available at our Med Bar, this 50-minute medical-grade facial focuses on reducing inflammation and repairing the skin barrier. It includes soothing steam, ultra-light extractions (if tolerated), a mild lactic or mandelic acid peel, and an intensely calming mask to leave your skin feeling even, hydrated, and relieved.

This deeply restorative 50-minute treatment is $399. You can view all of our aesthetic and surgical treatment costs transparently on our Pricing page.

The Calm & Balance facial is perfect for individuals who cannot tolerate aggressive exfoliation. It is specifically designed for clients struggling with rosacea, chronic redness, an impaired skin barrier, or severe sensitivity.

Yes, but it is incredibly gentle! We use either a mild lactic acid or mandelic acid peel, both of which are famous for their large molecular size. This means they lightly sweep away dead skin cells without penetrating deeply enough to cause irritation or burning. Dr. Claudia Kim and your esthetician will select the exact formulation based on your skin's unique tolerance level.

No, quite the opposite! Unlike harsher facials that may temporarily inflame the skin, the Calm & Balance facial is designed to reduce redness. Most clients leave New Look New Life with a visibly more even skin tone and improved comfort immediately following the treatment. There is absolutely no downtime.

To maintain a strong, healthy skin barrier and keep chronic redness at bay, we highly recommend booking this facial every 4 to 6 weeks.

Yes! A strong, healthy skin barrier is crucial for getting the best possible results from laser treatments. A Calm & Balance facial is an excellent way to prep your skin a few weeks before receiving a Forever Clear BBL or Halo laser treatment. It also serves as fantastic maintenance to keep inflammation down between your laser sessions.

Because pregnancy hormones can often make skin highly reactive, sensitive, or prone to "pregnancy mask" (melasma), gentle treatments are ideal! During your consultation, simply let us know you are pregnant, and we will customize the Calm & Balance ingredients to ensure they are 100% pregnancy-safe for both you and your baby.

Absolutely. Treating yourself to a soothing facial is a wonderful way to relax before your injectables! However, it is very important that you receive the Calm & Balance facial before Botox & Dysport or Dermal Fillers. Receiving a facial massage after injectables can cause the products to shift out of place.

This is a very common issue! If you have active breakouts but your skin is too irritated or dry for aggressive acne treatments, the Calm & Balance facial is an excellent starting point. By repairing your skin barrier first, we can reduce the underlying inflammation driving the breakouts. Once your skin is stronger, we can gradually introduce treatments like the Fresh Face Detox.

Soothed, comfortable, and beautifully balanced skin is just an appointment away. You can conveniently Book Now directly through our website, or call our welcoming New York concierge team at (212)-830-6830 to schedule your Med Bar experience.
