What is a Men's Facial?
Almost everyone is familiar with the concept of a facial, but what separates a men's facial from a traditional facial? First of all, men's and women's skin is naturally different in a variety of ways. In addition, men's facial skin often suffers from afflictions that women don't often have to worry about on their face, such as razor burn and ingrown hairs. Men's facials are able to focus on these needs that would otherwise go unaddressed with a classic facial. Body Werks Chicago is home to an experienced staff that listens to your unique skin concerns and goals to create a treatment that will perfectly suit your needs. Our facility in Chicago, IL is outfitted with advanced equipment and modern decor to help you relax, knowing that your skin care is in the best possible hands.

How Do Men's Facials Work?
During a brief consultation, our talented aestheticians will assess your skin in order to create a custom treatment plan meant specifically for you. At this point, they will begin the treatment, deeply cleansing the skin to wash away any dirt or oil. Lastly, our team will focus on any areas of concern by exfoliating dead skin cells, steaming and clearing open pores, and/or applying toner. In total, a men's facial will usually last anywhere from 30 – 60 minutes, depending on the specific needs of the patient's skin.
While results are often noticeable after only one session, we generally recommend for patients to schedule regular treatments once a month. This ensures your results will always look stunning and you'll be less likely to have to worry about dead or dry skin. Regardless, it's always important to maintain a proper skin care routine at home to keep your skin looking at its best.
Men's Facials FAQ
How much does a men's facial cost?
Men's facials prices will be determined by the type of treatment and whether you add on any services. In your initial consult, your aesthetician will ask about your goals and assess your complexion before creating your custom treatment plan. Once this is complete, they can estimate your price. Body Werks Chicago often has specials on facials and discounts when you buy a package of sessions.
What type of facial should I get?
Every facial at Body Werks Chicago is chosen to match the needs of your skin. At the beginning of your appointment, your facialist will listen to your current needs and goals before assessing your skin. Following this, your aesthetician will give you their suggestions for the type of facial you should get. You may also talk about add-on treatments, like microneedling or a chemical peel, which may further improve the health and appearance of your skin.
Can I combine other treatments with a men's facial?
If you want to further personalize your facial, you can add on a second treatment, like dermaplaning, a chemical peel, or microneedling. In your initial consult, your facialist will make recommendations on other treatments that will enhance your facial and improve your complexion.
How often should I get a men's facial?
Ideally, you should get a facial about once a month to improve the appearance and health of your complexion. Regular facials help to remove dead skin cells and improve your skin — so it looks and feels great. During your consultation, your aesthetician will recommend how often you should make appointments for facials to reach your goals and maintain your results. In time, you may want to get different types of facials and include other add-ons to fit your changing goals.
How can I maintain the results of my facial at home?
Following a skin care routine at home can help you extend the results of your facial. After your facial, we can recommend products that will improve the health and appearance of your complexion. It is also crucial to wear sunscreen and minimize exposure to UV rays (this includes tanning beds and natural sunlight).
