Facials
At the Del Mar Cosmetic Medical Center in addition to our customized and therapeutic Facials, we also offer a unique high-tech facial treatment that we call: the Oxygenating Trio.
Oxygenating Trio:
A unique three-step treatment designed especially for sluggish skin suffering from environmental damage due to toxins, pollutants, solar effects, smoking, medications and aging. Acneic skin also greatly benefits. The skin looks and feels vibrant, firm, rejuvenated and literally "glows" after your treatment. Treatments may be repeated weekly and is ideal to have a couple of days prior to a "big event."
