Corrective skin & scalp treatments in San Diego
Every treatment below is performed by Kiki, a California licensed esthetician with 7+ yearsin corrective skin, in one private treatment room. Prices are published here and confirmed at booking.
The right treatment depends on your skin tone, your concern, and the condition of your barrier — not on what is trending. The first visit includes the assessment that decides it.
Facials
The foundation — cleansing, extraction, resurfacing and maintenance.
Facial
$199
There is no single best facial. The right one depends on your skin tone, your concern, and the condition of your skin on the day. Performed by Kiki, a California licensed esthetician.
HydraFacial
$249
The best place to begin. Includes a comprehensive consultation, skin analysis, customized HydraFacial, personalized booster, microcurrent, LED Light Therapy, Hydrojelly Mask, and a long term treatment plan.
Dermaplane Facial
$199
A full facial with dermaplaning included — cleanse, dermaplane, treat and protect. Often paired with a peel, because a cleared surface lets the acid work evenly.
Acne Treatment
$259
Deep pore cleansing and extraction for blackheads, whiteheads, and active breakouts. Reduces congestion without manual pressure that can worsen inflammation.
Peels
Pigment and texture correction, paced across a series.
Scalp
Clinical scalp therapy for buildup, flaking and irritation.
Advanced
Depth-controlled resurfacing and barrier repair.
Procell Microchanneling
$475
Visible improvement for mild texture and tone irregularity. Topical numbing cream, Procell microchanneling treatment with proprietary stem cytokine growth factor serums, LED light therapy, and barrier protection included.
DMK Enzyme Therapy
$279
Enzymatic resurfacing that rebuilds a damaged barrier instead of stripping a healthy one. Performed by Kiki, a California licensed esthetician.
Corrective
Plans assembled from several modalities, for a specific concern.
Hyperpigmentation Treatment
A series of gentle LIRA peels or Procell microchanneling, paired with daily SPF. Performed by Kiki, a California licensed esthetician.
Melasma Treatment
Gentle LIRA peels spaced four to six weeks apart, and daily SPF with iron oxides to hold the result. Performed by Kiki, a California licensed esthetician.
Corrective Skin Treatments
Pricing at consultation.
Corrective treatment pricing depends on which modality is selected. HydraFacial, chemical peels, microchanneling, DMK enzyme therapy, and dermaplaning each have different pricing structures based on the concern being addressed.
Before you book
Questions, answered
How much does a facial treatment cost in San Diego?
Prices depend on the modality: dermaplaning starts at $199, a HydraFacial is $259, LIRA chemical peels run $199 to $299, DMK Enzyme Therapy starts at $279, and Keravive scalp therapy is $599. A first-time client treatment is $249 and includes the consultation that decides the plan. Every price is published on this site and confirmed at booking — nothing is quoted at the door.
Which treatment should I book first?
That is what the consultation is for. The first visit is a full assessment — skin tone, primary concern, and the condition of the barrier — and the modality is selected from what the skin is doing that day. DMK enzyme therapy often comes first for a compromised barrier, a HydraFacial for maintenance, and peels or microchanneling for pigment and scarring.
Do you treat all skin types?
Yes — Fitzpatrick I through VI. Kiki has 7+ years treating the full spectrum, and the pigment protocols are written for melanin-rich skin rather than adjusted for it. That matters because melanin-rich skin responds to trauma by producing more pigment, so strength is escalated only as the barrier allows.
Which treatments are best for dark spots and melasma?
LIRA chemical peels are the backbone of a melasma plan, with Procell microchanneling added where texture or scarring is part of the picture and a HydraFacial with a brightening booster holding the result between sessions. Pigmentation is treated as a series, with strength escalating across the course rather than in one visit.
How often should I come in?
Monthly for maintenance, and every four to six weeks for a corrective plan. The monthly facial membership at $199 includes one HydraFacial monthly plus discounts on additional treatments, which is usually the cheaper way to stay consistent across a series.
Do I need to travel far for treatment?
The studio is in San Diego and clients travel from across the county — North Park and Hillcrest are five to ten minutes, La Jolla and Pacific Beach around fifteen to twenty, and Encinitas and Carlsbad about thirty-five to forty. Each service page lists the areas it covers and the honest drive time.
