Spa & Wellness · Add-On & Standalone Modalities
A-La-Carte services at Aurevia Skincare are targeted modalities you can add to any facial or book on their own — each addressing a specific skin concern with medical-grade technique. From microchannel serum delivery with Aquagold Fine Touch to mechanical exfoliation, hydro-dermabrasion, surgical-blade dermaplaning, professional extractions, collagen-inducing microneedling, and radiofrequency skin tightening, these treatments layer precision onto your skincare plan. Your aesthetician or provider recommends the right add-on based on your skin assessment, event timeline, and whether you are building on a Classic, Signature, or Iconic facial foundation.
Mechanical and hydro-mechanical exfoliation plus precision serum infusion for immediate smoothness and enhanced product penetration.
A microchannel delivery system using a stamp applicator with 24-karat gold microneedles (0.6mm depth) to create superficial channels while simultaneously infusing a customized cocktail of hyaluronic acid, neuromodulators, and growth factors. Unlike traditional microneedling, Aquagold focuses on epidermal micro-infusion with minimal visible downtime — ideal for pre-event glow, pore refinement, and serum delivery to the upper dermis. Treatment takes approximately 30 minutes; mild erythema may last a few hours.
Crystal or diamond-tip microdermabrasion mechanically exfoliates the stratum corneum, removing dead keratinocytes and stimulating superficial cell turnover. This add-on improves texture, softens fine lines, and prepares skin for better absorption of serums and masks applied afterward. Suitable for most skin types; active inflammatory acne and fragile rosacea require assessment. No downtime — skin may appear slightly pink for 1–2 hours.
A gentler alternative combining vacuum-assisted exfoliation with simultaneous infusion of hydrating and antioxidant serums — often called "hydradermabrasion" or vortex technology. Dead skin is lifted away while pores are cleansed and skin is quenched in one pass. Ideal for dehydrated, congested, or sensitive skin that may not tolerate crystal microdermabrasion. Leaves skin plump, smooth, and event-ready with zero downtime.
Professional clearing of congestion and surgical-blade exfoliation for instantly smooth, refined skin.
Medical dermaplaning uses a sterile surgical scalpel held at a precise angle to remove vellus hair (peach fuzz) and the outermost layer of dead skin cells. Results are immediate — smoother texture, brighter tone, and improved makeup application — with no chemical agents and no puncture. Performed in a clinical setting at Aurevia with single-use blades and aseptic technique. View full dermaplaning service page →
Professional manual extraction of blackheads, whiteheads, and milia using sterile instruments and proper technique — minimizing tissue trauma and reducing the risk of scarring or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation compared to at-home picking. Skin is prepped with steam or enzymatic softening; extractions are followed by antiseptic and calming steps. Mild redness at extraction sites typically resolves within hours. Often combined with Purification or Clari-D style facials.
Medical-grade modalities that stimulate collagen production and tighten tissue — available as add-ons or standalone treatments.
SkinPen® collagen induction therapy creates controlled micro-channels to trigger neocollagenesis — improving acne scars, texture, pore size, and fine lines. When added to a facial, microneedling replaces or follows exfoliation steps; topical serums and growth factors are applied while channels remain open. Expect 24–72 hours of erythema. SkinPen is FDA-cleared for facial acne scars in patients 22+. View full microneedling service page →
InMode Forma delivers non-invasive radiofrequency energy to heat the deep dermis, stimulating collagen contraction and remodeling for gradual skin tightening and contour refinement. The handpiece glides over treatment zones with built-in temperature monitoring for safe, consistent heating. Forma is comfortable — often described as a warm massage — with no downtime. Ideal for jawline, lower face, and neck laxity. View full skin tightening service page →

Layered onto any facial tier. Your aesthetician integrates A-La-Carte modalities into your appointment sequence — typically after cleanse and before mask — or schedules them as standalone visits. Not all combinations are appropriate; your provider confirms compatibility at consultation.
Varies by modality. Dermaplaning, hydro-dermabrasion, and Forma RF require no downtime. Microdermabrasion may cause brief pinkness. Aquagold and microneedling may leave erythema for 24–72 hours. Extractions can cause localized redness for several hours.
Immediate and cumulative. Exfoliation and dermaplaning deliver instant smoothness. Microneedling and Forma RF build collagen over weeks to months. Aquagold provides an immediate glow with enhanced serum absorption. Series treatments amplify outcomes.
Flexible booking. Every A-La-Carte treatment can be booked alone or paired with a facial. Standalone visits include full consultation and aftercare; add-on pricing applies when combined with Classic, Signature, or Iconic facial appointments.
Yes — with thoughtful sequencing. Common pairings include dermaplaning + hydro-dermabrasion for maximum smoothness, or extractions + microdermabrasion for congested skin. Microneedling and Aquagold are typically not combined in the same session. Your aesthetician designs a safe, effective protocol based on your skin type and goals.
Microneedling with SkinPen creates deeper, controlled micro-injuries for collagen remodeling — ideal for scars and texture with 24–72 hours recovery. Aquagold uses ultra-fine 0.6mm needles for superficial microchannel serum delivery with minimal downtime — better suited for pre-event glow and product infusion rather than deep dermal remodeling.
Both exfoliate the skin surface, but hydro-dermabrasion uses water and vacuum suction with simultaneous serum infusion — making it gentler and more hydrating. Traditional microdermabrasion uses crystal or diamond abrasion without infusion. Hydro-dermabrasion suits sensitive or dehydrated skin; crystal microderm suits thicker, resilient complexions.
Your aesthetician recommends add-ons during skin assessment. Congested skin → extractions or hydro-dermabrasion. Dull, fuzzy texture → dermaplaning. Pre-event glow → Aquagold. Scars and texture → microneedling. Early laxity → Forma RF. When in doubt, book a consultation and we will build your custom treatment menu.
