Does dermaplaning cause acne or breakouts?

Breakouts after dermaplaning are uncommon when proper prep and sterile technique are used. For acne-prone skin, we may add a gentle enzyme or schedule dermaplaning away from active flare periods.

VI Peel vs microneedling—how do I choose?

If discoloration and dullness are your main concerns, start with a VI Peel or other chemical peel. If texture and acne scars bother you most, begin with microneedling. Many clients choose both in a staged plan.

Is an IPL photofacial good for redness, and how many sessions will I need?

Yes. Most plans include 3–5 sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart to progressively soften facial redness, rosacea, and visible vessels.

Is AquaFacial different from a regular facial near me?

AquaFacial is a medical-grade treatment using patented vortex technology to deeply cleanse, extract, and infuse targeted serums for immediate results—beyond a traditional spa facial.

Do you offer acne facials?

Yes. Options include Teen Facial, Custom Medical Grade Facial with targeted extractions, acne-focused VI Peel, and AquaFacial with acne serums.

What the Med Spa
Reviews say about Frankfort

“Stephanie.G and the crew there are amazing they have this way about keeping you in the now and with the latest treatments for your skin and everything else. I never thought that there was any kind of treatment that can get rid of my nasty scar on the side of my nose and the Botox she used amongst everything else. She tried really made it happen and I could finally look in the mirror now and not see something that I always could not stand looking at. I'm so glad I chose Express med spa in Frankfort.”

“Highly recommend Kaitlin K at Express Med Spa. I recently had a facial and waxing and I couldn't be happier with the results. Kaitlin K took her time to assess my skin type and concerns before customizing the treatment. I appreciated Kaitlin's esthetician expertise and the high quality products used throughout the facial. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a skin refresh!”

The Frankfort location has been updated to include more private rooms and staff was very friendly as well as knowledgeable about products without being overly forward. There is something here for everyone!”

IPL photofacial for sun damage and redness

People who search photofacial near me or IPL treatment want clearer, more even skin. With Candela elōs SRA+, pulsed light breaks up pigment and calms visible vessels so brown spots and facial redness soften over one to two weeks.

Microneedling (SkinPen) for texture, pores, and acne scars

Microneedling (micro needling) usually signal concerns about uneven texture, large pores, or acne scars. SkinPen microneedling creates controlled micro-channels that trigger collagen so skin feels smoother and makeup sits better. Most plans include 3 to 6 treatments a month apart. You can add PRP for a faster glow or combine microneedling with a peel later in your plan.

AquaFacial and dermaplaning
for easy maintenance

AquaFacial near me is a clinical facial that cleanses, extracts, and infuses serum for same-day clarity. Dermaplaning near me removes peach fuzz and surface buildup so skincare and makeup apply evenly. Both pair well with corrective services like IPL or VI Peel and are ideal before events. If you want more than a basic spa facial, this is the right move.
