Investing in good at-home skincare matters, but even a well-stocked bathroom cabinet can’t do everything on its own. Persistent congestion, uneven texture, dehydration, dullness, and changes in your skin over time often benefit from professional assessment and treatments chosen specifically for your needs.
At Be Medispa in Lexington, Kentucky, professional facials are part of a much larger approach to skin health. Our newly revamped Facial Menu gives patients more ways to care for their skin, with treatments ranging from a focused 30-minute refresh to a comprehensive 90-minute facial experience. Each appointment is guided by your skin, your concerns, and the level of treatment that makes sense for you.
Founded in 2004 by Dr. Paul Hester, MD, MBA, and Chasity Hester, PA-C, Be Medispa has spent more than two decades helping patients throughout Lexington and Central Kentucky build thoughtful aesthetic and skincare plans. Professional facials can stand beautifully on their own, but they can also complement treatments such as SkinPen microneedling, IPL, chemical peels, laser resurfacing, and other advanced services when appropriate.
A professional facial is an in-office skincare treatment performed by a trained esthetic professional to cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate, and address specific skin concerns. At a medical spa such as Be Medispa in Lexington, professional facials can also be incorporated into a broader skincare and aesthetic treatment plan.
The goal is not simply to create a temporary glow. A professional facial gives your provider the opportunity to assess how your skin is behaving, choose products and techniques based on those findings, and help you develop a routine that supports your skin between appointments.
A traditional spa facial often focuses heavily on relaxation and surface-level skincare. A professional facial in a medical spa setting can take a more treatment-focused approach while still creating an enjoyable experience.
At Be Medispa, patients have access to professional skincare within a physician-led aesthetic practice. This makes it easier to connect routine facial care with other treatments when concerns such as pigmentation, acne scarring, significant texture changes, sun damage, or signs of aging require a different level of treatment.
Our esthetics team works within a practice led by Dr. Paul Hester, MD, MBA, and Chasity Hester, PA-C, so skincare becomes part of a more comprehensive aesthetic plan rather than an isolated appointment.
The exact steps depend on the facial selected and what your skin needs that day. Professional facials may include cleansing, exfoliation, extractions, dermaplaning, customized peels, targeted serums, hydration, nourishing masks, facial massage, and advanced technologies.
Professional cleansing removes makeup, oil, sunscreen, and buildup while preparing the skin for the rest of the treatment. Exfoliation helps remove accumulated dead skin cells that can contribute to dullness, rough texture, and clogged pores.
Your esthetician may use enzymes, professional exfoliating products, dermaplaning, or other techniques depending on your skin type and the facial you choose.
For patients dealing with clogged pores or congestion, professional extractions may be incorporated when appropriate. Squeezing or picking blemishes at home can increase irritation and the risk of post-inflammatory discoloration or scarring.
A trained esthetician can evaluate which areas are appropriate to treat and use professional techniques designed to minimize unnecessary trauma to the surrounding skin.
Professional facials also allow your esthetician to choose products based on what your skin needs during that particular appointment. Depending on your concerns, they may use hydrating, calming, brightening, clarifying, and antioxidant-focused products.
This level of customization is one reason professional skincare can be so helpful for patients who feel overwhelmed by the number of products available for home use.
We recently reimagined our entire Facial Menu at Be Medispa to give patients more options for professional skincare based on their skin, goals, and available time.
The updated menu includes quick 30-minute treatments for patients who want an effective skin refresh, customized 60-minute facial experiences, and an elevated 90-minute facial designed for patients who want our most comprehensive approach to professional skincare.
Depending on the facial you choose and your skin’s needs, your treatment may include professional cleansing, exfoliation, extractions, dermaplaning, customized peels, Dermasweep technology, targeted infusions, nourishing masks, facial massage, and other advanced skincare techniques. Our expanded menu also introduces thoughtful additions such as state-of-the-art LED hand therapy within select experiences.
The goal was not simply to add more facials. We wanted to create a menu that makes it easier to find the right level of care while still allowing our esthetics team to customize the experience once you are here.

One advantage of professional skincare is that your facial can be adjusted to what your skin needs at the time. Your concerns may change with the seasons, your routine, hormones, stress, travel, or other factors.
Patients dealing with breakouts, blackheads, or persistent congestion may benefit from facials that emphasize thorough cleansing, appropriate exfoliation, extractions, and products selected for acne-prone skin.
For patients with ongoing acne concerns, professional facials may also be part of a larger plan involving home skincare or other treatments recommended by the Be Medispa team.
Dry, tight, or lackluster skin may benefit from treatments focused on gentle exfoliation, hydration, barrier support, and nourishing ingredients. Professional skincare can also help you identify when a home routine may be too aggressive or missing key moisturizing steps.
Professional exfoliation, dermaplaning, customized peels, and advanced facial technologies can help improve the appearance of dull or rough skin while supporting a smoother-looking complexion.
If texture concerns are more significant, your provider may recommend treatments such as SkinPen microneedling or laser resurfacing instead of relying on facials alone.
Professional skincare can sometimes improve uneven tone and visible sun damage, but deeper pigmentation may require more targeted treatment.
Be Medispa offers options such as IPL, chemical peels, and laser treatments that may be incorporated into a broader skin plan when appropriate.
Professional facials can complement a broader aesthetic plan. Injectable treatments address concerns such as expression lines or volume changes, while facials focus more directly on skin quality, hydration, texture, and appearance.
Patients may also combine routine professional skincare with treatments such as SkinPen microneedling, IPL, chemical peels, or laser resurfacing over time. The exact combination and timing should always be based on your individual skin, treatment history, and goals.
No single schedule works for everyone. Some patients enjoy professional facials monthly, while others use them seasonally, before special events, or as part of a larger treatment plan.
Your ideal frequency depends on your skin type, concerns, home skincare routine, and any other procedures you are receiving. Your esthetician can help you determine a schedule that makes sense without overtreating the skin.
A facial menu doesn’t mean every patient’s treatment should look exactly the same. In fact, we created our newly revamped menu with customization in mind.
Your esthetician starts by assessing how your skin is behaving right now and discussing the concerns you most want to address. That information helps guide product selection, exfoliation, extractions, and other elements of your treatment.
Your facial can also fit into a broader skincare plan when treatments such as SkinPen microneedling, IPL, chemical peels, or laser resurfacing better address a particular concern.
This is one advantage of receiving professional skincare in a physician-led aesthetic practice. Be Medispa’s team can look beyond a single appointment and help you understand how professional facials, home skincare, and more advanced treatments may work together over time.
Dr. Paul Hester, MD, MBA, and Chasity Hester, PA-C, founded Be Medispa in Lexington in 2004. Today, the practice continues to combine professional skincare, injectables, lasers, and advanced aesthetic procedures under physician leadership.
Our team serves patients throughout Lexington and Central Kentucky from our office at 171 Prosperous Place, Lexington, KY 40509.
At-home skincare can help maintain healthy skin, but a professional facial gives you access to professional products, techniques, extractions, exfoliation, and the guidance of a trained esthetician. It also lets your skin be evaluated in person so the treatment can be adjusted as needed.
Professional facials may help with certain types of congestion, blackheads, excess oil, and surface buildup. Persistent or more severe acne may require a more comprehensive treatment plan.
Yes, but timing matters. If you have an upcoming wedding, photos, vacation, or special event, tell your esthetician so they can plan your treatment appropriately. Some treatments are ideal close to an event, while stronger exfoliation may be better scheduled farther in advance.
Yes, but the timing of facials around injectable treatments matters. Let your Be Medispa provider know about recent or upcoming treatments so we can schedule your appointments safely and appropriately.
If you are unsure, start by exploring our newly revamped Facial Menu. Our team can also help you choose the treatment that best fits your skin and goals.
A professional facial should do more than give your skin a temporary glow. It should help you understand what your skin needs, support a consistent skincare routine, and give you access to professional treatments that can evolve as your skin changes.
That’s exactly what we had in mind when we completely revamped the Be Medispa Facial Menu.
With options ranging from a quick 30-minute refresh to our most comprehensive 90-minute facial experience, you now have even more ways to make professional skincare part of your routine. Our esthetics team can help you decide which facial makes the most sense for your skin and when another treatment may better suit your goals.
Be Medispa has served Lexington and Central Kentucky since 2004 under the leadership of founders Dr. Paul Hester, MD, MBA, and Chasity Hester, PA-C. Our physician-led practice combines professional skincare, injectables, lasers, and advanced aesthetic treatments under one roof at 171 Prosperous Place in Lexington.
