Signature & European Facials
Astoria Esthetics offers customized Signature and European facials in Astoria, Queens, performed by licensed estheticians and tailored to your skin's current needs. Depending on your skin type and concerns, your facial may include cleansing, exfoliation, extractions, hydration, masks, and other personalized skincare steps. Each treatment begins with a skin assessment so your esthetician can create an appropriate treatment plan.
Professional facials combine cleansing, exfoliation, hydration, and other skincare techniques to refresh the skin and address concerns such as dryness, congestion, dullness, and uneven texture.
At Astoria Esthetics, your facial is not based on a one-size-fits-all routine. Your esthetician evaluates your skin, current products, sensitivity, and concerns before selecting the products and treatment steps used during your visit.
Signature Facial
A customized facial designed around your skin's needs that day.
Step 1: Cleanse and Purify
Everything sitting on the surface of your skin, gone.
You start fresh. That's it. That's the step.
Step 2: Sculpt and Refine
This is the part that surprises people. Bell-shaped glass cups glide across your face, encouraging lymphatic circulation, reducing puffiness, and revealing a more defined, sculpted appearance.
Step 3: Hydrate and Restore
Your skin just got cleared out. Now the good stuff goes in. Advanced exfoliation removes dead skin cells while powerful serums packed with vitamins and antioxidants locks in hydration. You'll feel the difference immediately.
Step 4: Calm and Finish
A soothing finish closes it out. You leave done. Not red. Not recovering, Done, and glowing. The hardest part is getting off the table.
It is a good option for first-time clients or anyone looking for a personalized approach to routine skin maintenance.
European Facial
A deep-cleansing facial focused on removing buildup and addressing congestion. It may include double cleansing, steam, exfoliation, manual extractions, a mask, massage, and hydration.
It may be especially suitable for oily, combination, or congested skin and clients concerned about blackheads or clogged pores.

What Can I Expect From a Facial?
Is a Facial Right for Me?
Facials can be customized for many different skin types and concerns, including:
Dry or dehydrated skin
Oily or combination skin
Congestion and blackheads
Dull-looking skin
Uneven texture
General skin maintenance
Skin that needs additional hydration or calming
During your skin assessment, tell your esthetician if you:
Use prescription or over-the-counter retinoids
Have active acne, cold sores, or a skin infection
Have eczema, rosacea, or highly reactive skin
Are pregnant or breastfeeding
Have recently had Botox®, dermal fillers, laser treatment, chemical peels, microneedling, or another cosmetic procedure
Take medications that affect your skin or healing
Have known allergies or sensitivities to skincare ingredients
Your facial can then be adjusted—or rescheduled when appropriate—to protect your skin barrier and avoid unnecessary irritation.
What to Expect Before and After Your Facial
Before Your Appointment
Before your facial:
Tell your esthetician about medications, skincare products, allergies, and recent cosmetic treatments
Follow any instructions regarding retinoids, exfoliating acids, or other active products
Avoid excessive sun exposure or arriving with irritated or sunburned skin
Tell us if you have an active breakout, cold sore, rash, or other skin concern
Arrive with or without makeup; your skin will be thoroughly cleansed before treatment
Using multiple exfoliating products or retinoids can increase skin sensitivity, so your esthetician may recommend modifying your routine before treatments involving exfoliation.
After Your Appointment
Your esthetician will provide aftercare recommendations based on your treatment.
General recommendations may include:
Avoid picking or touching areas that were extracted
Use gentle skincare products
Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily
Avoid introducing new irritating products immediately after treatment
Follow instructions about when to restart retinoids or exfoliating acids
Avoid excessive heat, steam, or intense exercise for the period recommended by your esthetician
Mild temporary redness can occur following massage, exfoliation, or extractions.

-
There is no single schedule that works for everyone. Many clients choose regular facials based on their skin concerns, home-care routine, and treatment goals. Your esthetician can recommend an appropriate frequency after evaluating your skin.
-
The Signature Facial is highly customized based on your skin assessment and incorporates the Glacē machine to exfoliate, extract, and infuse your skin with a targeted serum based on your goals and skin concerns. The European Facial places more emphasis on manual hands- on deep cleansing, steam, and extractions.
-
Extractions may be performed when appropriate for your skin. Trained providers can safely extract certain blackheads and whiteheads without the aggressive squeezing associated with at-home picking.
-
Most clients can return to normal daily activities after a facial. Mild redness or sensitivity may occur, particularly following exfoliation or extractions, so downtime varies depending on the treatment performed.
-
A customized facial may help address congestion and support an acne-focused skincare routine. However, moderate, severe, inflamed, or persistent acne may require evaluation and treatment by a dermatologist or other qualified medical provider.
