The Signature Facial is Naiva's clinician-designed, hands-on facial, assembled at each visit from professional-grade cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, massage and targeted serums according to what your skin needs that day. It is the foundation treatment for keeping skin calm, clear and even over time.
Your skin won't settle: dry and tight one week, oily with a breakout the next, though every product on your shelf was chosen for a reason. Facials elsewhere followed the same script whatever your skin was doing that day. What you want is a standing appointment with someone who knows your skin and adjusts to it.

Where you want to be
The session is built from an assessment, not a menu. Your provider checks hydration, oil balance, congestion and sensitivity, then chooses the steps: a gentle enzyme exfoliation and hydrating mask for a dehydrated month, steam and careful extractions for a congested one, calming care for skin that is reacting to something.
The work is manual: cleansing, exfoliation, extractions where needed, facial and lymphatic massage, then a mask and serum chosen for the day. Products are professional-grade and applied only to skin that has been prepared for them. The aim is skin that looks clean, calm and slightly brighter, and stays that way because the same provider sees it again next month.
03
What to expect
The visit opens with a short conversation about how your skin has been, then a quiet, unhurried treatment. Afterward your provider tells you what they saw and whether anything in your home routine should change.
The visit
About 60 minutes. Assessment, cleanse, exfoliation, extractions if needed, massage, mask, serum and sun protection.
First days
No downtime. Extraction sites can look faintly pink for a few hours, and makeup can go on the same day.
Results
Calm, clear skin the same day. Patients who come monthly tend to notice fewer breakouts and less flaking between visits.
Longevity
About a week per facial. Repeated every four to six weeks alongside a home routine, the improvement in baseline clarity holds.
Who it tends to suit
Anyone who wants a recurring, hands-on skin appointment with the same provider
Skin that swings between dry and oily and doesn't settle
Patients new to professional skin care who want a calm starting point
Those maintaining results from peels, microneedling or injectables between sessions
Sensitive or reactive skin that needs a gentler pace than device-based treatments
Not the right choice for active cystic acne, an open cold sore or a sunburn; your provider will suggest what to do first
04
Who performs it
Your skin is re-assessed at every visit, so what is applied reflects the skin in front of your provider rather than a standard protocol. Because this is a foundation treatment, it is also where a longer personalized treatment plan takes shape: if a peel, resurfacing or a prescription product would serve you better, your provider will say so.
No. It is a comfortable, hands-on treatment, and most patients find it relaxing. Extractions can feel briefly uncomfortable; they are done gently and only where needed.
How many sessions do I need?
One facial makes skin look cleaner and calmer for about a week. The value is in continuity: a visit every four to six weeks follows how the skin renews itself and lets your provider adjust as your skin changes.
How much does it cost?
Cost reflects the length of the session and any added steps your provider recommends for your skin, such as a specialized mask. Pricing is set at your assessment.
Will I break out afterward?
Occasionally, if extractions loosened congestion already sitting beneath the surface, a small spot or two appears within a few days and passes quickly. If your skin is prone to this, your provider will adapt the extraction step and products.
How should I prepare?
Arrive with clean skin if you can, and pause retinoids, exfoliating acids and at-home peels for two to three days beforehand. Tell your provider about prescription skincare, recent sun exposure or any procedure in the past month.
