Advanced facials · Brooklyn, NY
Facials that correct, not just pamper.
Results-driven facials for acne, hyperpigmentation and aging skin. Every facial is built around what your skin needs that day and performed by YaYa herself, as part of a plan designed to move you forward.
The Vivify difference
A treatment plan, not a menu pick.
No two facials here are the same. Before anything touches your skin, we assess what is happening beneath the surface: congestion, inflammation, pigment, barrier health and how your skin has responded to past treatments.
From there, each facial combines the right cleansing, exfoliation, extractions and advanced modalities for your goals. Home care is matched to what we do in the treatment room, so progress continues between visits.
Facials are safe and effective for every skin tone, and treating hyperpigmentation in melanin-rich skin is one of our specialties.

Questions
Facial FAQs.
I'm a new client. What should I book?
Book the Consultation + Customized Facial. It gives us an in-depth look at your skin during your first treatment, which makes your treatment plan more precise.
How often should I get a facial?
For corrective goals, most clients come in every 2 to 4 weeks during their treatment series. Your schedule is set at your consultation.
Are facials safe for darker skin tones?
Yes. Every product and modality is chosen with your skin tone in mind to lower the risk of irritation and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Will I break out after my facial?
Some clients see a few small breakouts in the days after extractions as congestion comes to the surface. It settles quickly and is part of clearing the skin.
Do I need to buy home care products?
Home care is what keeps progress going between visits. Your routine is matched to your plan, and clients interested in advanced services such as chemical peels should expect to invest in professional home care to prep the skin.
