How Much Do Facials Cost in Virginia Beach?
At The Skin Chic in Virginia Beach, facials currently range from $125 for a Flash Facial Treatment to $400 for more advanced specialty facials, with several options in between. The right investment depends on what you want from your facial: a quick refresh, a traditional hands-on treatment, a completely customized facial with advanced technologies, or a specialized treatment built around a professional skincare system.
Instead of assuming a more expensive facial is automatically better, it helps to understand what you're actually paying for—and whether those features are useful for your skin.
What Determines the Price of a Facial?
Facial pricing can vary considerably because the word “facial” describes a very broad category of treatments.
Two appointments that are both called facials might involve completely different products, techniques, technologies, appointment lengths, and levels of customization.
At The Skin Chic, the biggest differences between facial options are generally treatment time, level of customization, products and techniques used, advanced modalities included, and the specific purpose of the treatment.
That's why comparing facials based on price alone can be misleading.
What Is the Most Affordable Facial at The Skin Chic?
The Skin Chic's Flash Facial Treatments are currently $125, making them the lowest-priced facial option on the treatment menu.
These aren't simply abbreviated versions of the same facial. Each Flash Facial has a specific focus and professional skincare approach.
The DRIP | $125
The DRIP is designed around hydration and glow.
The treatment includes deep cleansing, gentle chemical exfoliation designed to increase water levels within the skin, layers of hyaluronic acid serums, a hydrating mask, LED light therapy, and a customized serum infusion.
It's an option for someone looking for a focused hydration treatment without booking a longer facial.
The AfterGlow | $125
The AfterGlow features Valmont and focuses on exfoliation, brightness, and overall skin tone.
The facial includes deep cleansing and exfoliation, Valmont's Prime Renewing Pack, Even + Correct serums, LumiMask, finishing serums, and LED light therapy.
If brightness and overall tone are your priorities, this provides a different experience from The DRIP even though the treatments are priced the same.
The GlowGasm | $125
The GlowGasm features iS Clinical and combines deeper exfoliation with hydration and glow.
Following The Skin Chic's signature triple cleanse, the treatment incorporates iS Clinical Fire + Ice, including exfoliation followed by a hydrating mask and cryotherapy. The facial is completed with LED light therapy and customized finishing products.
The ViBe | $125
The ViBe is a Biologique Recherche flash facial designed around oxygenation, hydration, brightness, and revitalization.
The treatment incorporates a customized mask with cryotherapy and Biologique Recherche Booster VIP O2.
The ViBe can also be personalized with enhancements such as dermaplaning, DiamondGlow, extractions, microcurrent, microdermabrasion, Sculpt & Lymphatic Massage, SkinBetter Brightening Peel, and a Biologique Recherche Cold Mask.
This creates an important distinction in facial pricing: sometimes a shorter, lower-priced treatment is exactly what you need.
You don't necessarily need a $300+ facial every time you want professional skincare.
What Is The Skin Chic Facial?
The Skin Chic Facial | 50 Minutes – $200
The Skin Chic Facial provides a more traditional full-facial experience while still allowing your aesthetician to address what your skin needs.
The 50-minute treatment can include a deep cleanse, dermaplane exfoliation, extractions, a brightening peel, mask, serums, moisturizer, and massage.
Unlike The All-In Facial, devices aren't included in The Skin Chic Facial.
That makes the $200 option particularly useful for someone who wants professional exfoliation, extractions, skincare, and hands-on treatment without the advanced technologies that may be incorporated into The All-In.
Why Does The All-In Facial Cost More?
The All-In Facial starts at $250, but the important difference isn't simply appointment length.
It's the level of customization and access to advanced facial technologies.
Every All-In begins with a thorough skin assessment. Your aesthetician determines what your skin needs at that appointment and selects appropriate modalities based on that assessment.
Depending on your skin, an All-In Facial may incorporate technologies and techniques such as HydraFacial, Dermalinfusion, dermaplaning, Biologique Recherche Face Remodel, microcurrent, microinfusion, radio frequency, oxygen infusion, LED light therapy, extractions, manual massage, or microdermabrasion.
Not every modality is used during every appointment.
That's what you're paying for: the ability to build the facial around your skin rather than choosing individual technologies before anyone has assessed it.
Current All-In pricing is:
- The All-In | 60 Minutes – $250
- The All-In | 75 Minutes – $290
- The All-In | 90 Minutes – $330
The longer appointments provide additional treatment time, but that doesn't mean everyone should automatically book 90 minutes. The appropriate option depends on your skin, goals, and treatment plan.

Why Do Some Specialty Facials Cost $300–$400?
Some of The Skin Chic's higher-priced facials are specialized treatments built around specific professional skincare systems, techniques, or technologies.
They're not simply longer or “better” versions of a standard facial. They provide a different type of treatment.
Biologique Recherche Manual Lift | $290
The BR Manual Lift is an intensive facial massage treatment designed to tone, lift, and redefine the appearance of facial contours using Biologique Recherche's Manual Lift technique.
Precise sculpting movements are paired with customized serums to support circulation and leave the complexion looking firmer, lifted, and radiant.
Biologique Recherche Double Boost | $325
The BR Double Boost is a customized Biologique Recherche treatment combining the brand's professional skincare with signature European facial techniques.
The treatment incorporates Biologique Recherche's Lotion P50, facial massage techniques, two personalized boosters, masks, finishing serums, and protective creams.
Depending on your skin, it can be customized around concerns including acne, rosacea, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and signs of aging.
Biologique Recherche Triple Lift + Remodel | $400
The BR Triple Lift + Remodel has a different objective.
This intensive treatment focuses on lifting, firming, sculpting, and the appearance of facial volume. It combines two Biologique Recherche boosters with the Remodeling Face® machine for a more intensive resculpting treatment.
The higher price reflects a fundamentally different facial experience—not simply a longer appointment.
Cellstory Korean Liquid Microneedling Facial | $350
Cellstory PLUS Meso-Care uses Microspear® technology as part of an eight-step skin regeneration program.
The treatment is designed to support improvements in texture, brightness, uneven tone, elasticity, the appearance of wrinkles, and skin barrier health.
Again, this is why facial pricing isn't easily compared based on appointment time alone.
DMK Facial Treatments | $250–$400
DMK treatments offer another distinct approach to professional skincare.
Current options include:
- DMK Enzyme Therapy – $250
- DMK Muscle Banding – $300
- DMK Enzyme Elevated – $400
DMK Enzyme Therapy is designed to support optimal skin function through circulation, oxygenation, lymphatic drainage, and the skin's natural processes.
DMK Muscle Banding builds upon the Enzyme Therapy approach with a greater focus on lifting, tightening, and toning.

Is a $300 Facial Better Than a $125 Facial?
Not necessarily.
This is probably the most useful way to think about facial pricing.
A $125 Flash Facial and a $325 BR Double Boost aren't really competing versions of the same service. They're designed to provide different experiences and accomplish different things.
If you want a quick hydration or glow-focused treatment, spending significantly more doesn't automatically make sense.
If you're looking for a more comprehensive Biologique Recherche treatment, a Flash Facial isn't intended to replicate the Double Boost experience.
Likewise, if you want your aesthetician to evaluate your skin and choose from several advanced facial technologies during your appointment, The All-In may provide greater value than selecting individual enhancements yourself.
The best value comes from paying for the treatment your skin actually needs—not automatically choosing the least or most expensive option.
Which Facial Should You Choose?
Rather than starting with price, start with what you want from the appointment.
If you want a quick, focused facial for hydration, exfoliation, brightness, or glow, consider one of the $125 Flash Facial Treatments.
If you want a traditional hands-on facial with cleansing, exfoliation, extractions, skincare, and massage, The Skin Chic Facial may be the better fit.
If you want a highly customized treatment that can incorporate advanced facial technologies, consider The All-In.
If you're specifically interested in the treatment philosophy and professional products of Biologique Recherche, Cellstory, or DMK, one of The Skin Chic's specialty facials may make more sense.
You don't need to choose based solely on which treatment has the longest list of features.
The goal is matching the facial to your skin.

Do You Need Add-Ons to Get a Good Facial?
Not necessarily—and this is another reason to understand the treatment you're booking.
Some facial formats allow you to select enhancements individually. The ViBe, for example, can be customized with options such as dermaplaning, DiamondGlow, extractions, microcurrent, microdermabrasion, massage, a brightening peel, or a Biologique Recherche Cold Mask.
The All-In takes a different approach.
Instead of building your facial by purchasing individual devices or techniques, your aesthetician assesses your skin and selects appropriate modalities within the treatment.
Neither approach is inherently better. They simply provide different ways to personalize your facial.
How Often Should You Get a Facial?
There isn't a universal schedule that's right for everyone.
How often professional facials make sense depends on your skin, treatment goals, home skincare routine, budget, and whether you're also receiving other aesthetic treatments.
Someone using facials primarily for hydration and maintenance may have a very different schedule from someone working with an aesthetician on congestion, uneven tone, or texture.
Rather than automatically scheduling a facial every four weeks, your aesthetician can recommend a frequency based on your skin and what you're trying to accomplish.

When Is a Facial Not the Best Use of Your Skincare Budget?
This is an important question—especially when specialty facials can reach $300–$400.
A facial isn't always the best treatment for every concern.
If your primary concern is significant acne scarring, established pigmentation, skin laxity, deeper wrinkles, or another concern requiring greater correction, your aesthetician may recommend putting your treatment investment toward a different modality.
Facials can still play an important role in a broader skincare plan, but a more expensive facial doesn't necessarily mean more corrective treatment.
The treatment has to match the concern.
That's one of the reasons a personalized skin assessment is more useful than simply choosing the most expensive facial on the menu.
Are More Expensive Facials Worth It?
They can be, but only when you're paying for something your skin will actually benefit from.
The price of a specialty facial may reflect professional skincare systems, specialized techniques, advanced technologies, additional treatment time, or a greater degree of customization.
Those things can provide real value.
But paying more simply because a treatment sounds more advanced doesn't guarantee that it's the better choice for you.
For one person, a $125 Flash Facial may provide exactly the hydration and glow they're looking for. Another person's goals may justify a $250 All-In. Someone specifically seeking a Biologique Recherche lifting treatment may find the $400 Triple Lift + Remodel more aligned with what they want.
Value is determined by how well the treatment matches the goal—not by the number on the menu.
Are Facials Worth the Cost?
Professional facials can be a worthwhile part of a skincare routine when they're selected appropriately.
The value isn't limited to how your skin looks immediately after the appointment.
Working consistently with an aesthetician also creates an opportunity to evaluate how your skin is changing, adjust professional treatments, and make more informed decisions about your skincare routine over time.
For some people, that might mean an occasional Flash Facial before an event.
For others, it could mean incorporating The All-In into an ongoing skincare routine.
Another person may prefer Biologique Recherche, Cellstory, or DMK because those treatments better align with their skincare goals.
There isn't one “correct” amount to spend on a facial.
What Should You Expect at Your Facial Appointment?
Your treatment should begin with understanding your skin.
Your aesthetician can evaluate factors such as hydration, texture, congestion, sensitivity, pigmentation, and your current skincare goals before determining how to approach the appointment.
This is particularly important with a customizable treatment such as The All-In, where the modalities incorporated into your facial can change based on what your skin needs.
Your skin isn't static.
Seasonal changes, sun exposure, stress, your home skincare routine, previous aesthetic treatments, and other factors can change what makes sense from one appointment to the next.
That's why personalization matters more than following the exact same facial protocol indefinitely.
