What makes Turcatti's facials different?
Not all facials are created equal. At Turcatti's in Dunmore, our facials stand apart from typical spa treatments through our commitment to results, customization, and expertise.
Truly customized treatments
Every facial at Turcatti's begins with a comprehensive skin analysis. We assess your skin type (dry, oily, combination, sensitive), evaluate your primary concerns (acne, aging, hyperpigmentation, texture), and discuss your goals. Based on this assessment, we select the perfect combination of cleansers, exfoliants, masks, serums, and moisturizers for your unique needs.
Medical-grade products
We use professional-grade products that you can't buy in stores — formulations with higher concentrations of active ingredients that deliver real results. Our product lines are carefully curated for their efficacy and safety.
Expert aestheticians
Our team brings 15+ years of experience from top Miami Beach spas to Northeastern Pennsylvania. They're trained in advanced facial techniques, proper extraction methods, facial massage, and the latest skin care technologies.

From the moment you enter our stunning Dunmore location, you'll feel the difference. Enjoy complimentary beverages (including mimosas), plush treatment rooms, and an atmosphere designed for complete relaxation.
Results-driven approach
While we want you to relax and enjoy your facial, we're focused on results. You'll leave with visibly improved skin — and we'll provide a customized home care plan to maintain those results between treatments.
Turcatti's signature spa facial.
Our signature facial is a comprehensive 60-75 minute treatment that addresses all aspects of skin health and beauty. Perfect for all skin types and concerns, this facial provides deep cleansing, exfoliation, hydration, and relaxation in one luxurious treatment.
What's included in your facial
- Consultation & skin analysis: we begin by discussing your skin concerns and performing a thorough analysis to determine the best treatment approach.
- Deep cleansing: professional double-cleanse removes makeup, sunscreen, pollution, and impurities that regular cleansing misses.
- Exfoliation: customized exfoliation removes dead skin cells, revealing fresher, brighter skin beneath. We select from enzyme, chemical, or mechanical exfoliation based on your skin type.
- Steam treatment: gentle steam opens pores and prepares skin for extractions and product absorption.
- Extractions (as needed): professional removal of blackheads, whiteheads, and congestion. Our expert technique minimizes discomfort and prevents scarring.
- Customized treatment mask: we select from hydrating, clarifying, anti-aging, or soothing masks based on your skin's needs.
- Facial massage: relaxing massage improves circulation, promotes lymphatic drainage, and provides anti-aging benefits through muscle toning.
- Serum application: targeted serums address your specific concerns — brightening, anti-aging, hydrating, or acne-fighting.
- Moisturizer & SPF: hydration and sun protection seal in all the benefits of your treatment.
- Home care recommendations: we provide personalized product recommendations to maintain your results.
Facial duration & frequency
Each facial treatment takes 60-75 minutes. For optimal skin health, we recommend professional facials every 4-6 weeks. This timing aligns with your skin's natural cell turnover cycle and allows us to maintain your results consistently.

What to expect during your facial at Turcatti's.
Your appointment
Arrive with a clean face: Remove makeup if possible, though we'll perform a thorough cleanse regardless. Communicate your concerns: Think about what you want to address — acne, aging, dryness, sensitivity. Avoid harsh treatments: Skip exfoliating products and retinoids for 2-3 days before your facial. Plan for relaxation: Arrive 10 minutes early to complete any paperwork and begin unwinding.
Your treatment
You'll be shown to a private treatment room where you can relax on a comfortable treatment bed. Your aesthetician will discuss your skin concerns and goals, analyze your skin under magnification, explain what treatments will be performed, and begin your customized facial. Most clients find the facial deeply relaxing — many even fall asleep during the treatment. The massage portion is particularly soothing, and the overall experience is designed to reduce stress while improving your skin.
Recovery & results
Immediate results: brighter, smoother, more hydrated skin immediately. Some clients experience slight redness for 1-2 hours if extractions were performed. Avoid makeup: Try to skip makeup for the rest of the day. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water. Protect your skin: Always wear SPF. Follow home care advice.
Results timeline: Immediate: brighter, smoother skin. 24-48 hours: any post-extraction redness subsides, "glow" peaks. 1 week: skin texture continues to improve as cell turnover increases. 4-6 weeks: time for your next facial.
Benefits of regular professional facials.
While a single facial provides immediate benefits, the real magic happens with regular treatments. Here's why we recommend facials every 4-6 weeks:
Deep cleansing beyond home care
Even the best at-home skin care routine can't match professional deep cleansing. Our facials remove impurities from deep within pores that daily cleansing misses — including excess sebum (oil), dead skin cell buildup, environmental pollutants, makeup residue, sunscreen buildup.
Professional extractions
Trying to perform extractions at home often leads to scarring, infection, and worsening breakouts. Our trained aestheticians know exactly how to safely and effectively clear clogged pores without damaging your skin.
Customized treatment for changing needs
Your skin changes with seasons, stress, hormones, and age. Regular facials allow us to adjust your treatment as your skin's needs evolve — hydrating masks in winter, clarifying treatments in humid summer months.
Anti-aging benefits
Facial massage improves circulation and promotes lymphatic drainage, reducing puffiness and promoting that healthy "glow." Regular stimulation through massage can help tone facial muscles and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
Stress reduction
The relaxation benefits of facials shouldn't be underestimated. Stress shows on your skin through breakouts, dullness, and accelerated aging. Taking time for self-care and relaxation is an investment in both your skin and overall wellbeing.
Product recommendations & early detection
Your aesthetician can guide you toward products that actually work for your skin type. Regular facials also mean regular skin checks — we may notice concerning changes early (suspicious moles, unusual texture changes, or conditions that warrant dermatologist referral).
Facials for specific skin concerns.
Acne & breakout-prone skin
If you struggle with acne, regular facials are essential for managing breakouts and preventing scarring. Our acne facials include deep cleansing to remove excess oil, salicylic acid or enzyme exfoliation, professional extractions to clear clogged pores, antibacterial treatments to kill acne-causing bacteria, calming masks to reduce inflammation, oil-free hydration. For severe acne, we recommend combining regular facials with our Face Reality acne peel treatments.
Anti-aging facials
Combat fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of firmness with collagen-boosting serums and masks, peptide treatments to firm and lift, antioxidant protection against environmental aging, facial massage techniques that tone muscles, hydration to plump fine lines. For more dramatic results, consider microneedling, chemical peels, or combining facials with Botox treatments.
Hydrating facials for dry skin
Dry, flaky, tight skin needs serious hydration. Features gentle, cream-based cleansers, hydrating enzyme exfoliation (no scrubbing), hyaluronic acid serums, rich, moisturizing masks, facial oils and barrier-repairing treatments.
Brightening facials for dull or uneven skin
Restore your glow with brightening facial treatments that target dull, tired-looking skin, uneven skin tone, mild hyperpigmentation, sun damage. For stubborn dark spots, we recommend our VI Peel treatments.
Sensitive skin facials
Sensitive, reactive skin requires extra care. Features fragrance-free, hypoallergenic products, gentle cleansing without harsh ingredients, calming, anti-inflammatory masks, no extractions (if skin is too sensitive), soothing massage techniques.
Facial FAQs.
How much does a facial cost at Turcatti's?
Our signature Turcatti's Spa Facial is $90. Add dermaplaning for $45 or LED light therapy for $40 to enhance your results.
How long does a facial take?
Our spa facial takes 60-75 minutes, allowing time for thorough cleansing, exfoliation, extractions, mask, massage, and product application. We never rush your treatment.
How often should I get a facial?
We recommend professional facials every 4-6 weeks to maintain healthy, glowing skin. This frequency aligns with your skin's natural 28-day cell turnover cycle and allows us to address concerns before they worsen.
Do facials hurt?
Facials should not be painful. Extractions may cause brief discomfort, but our expert technique minimizes this. Most clients find facials deeply relaxing — many even fall asleep during treatment.
Will I break out after a facial?
Some clients experience minor "purging" after their first facial as congestion is brought to the surface. This is temporary and usually resolves within 3-5 days. Subsequent facials typically don't cause purging.
Should I get a facial before or after an event?
Schedule your facial 3-5 days before a special event for optimal glow without any potential post-facial redness. If extractions are needed, allow 5-7 days. For immediate events, consider our CO2 Lift treatment instead.
Can I wear makeup after a facial?
We recommend avoiding makeup for at least 12-24 hours after your facial to let your skin breathe and fully absorb the beneficial products. Your skin will look so good, you won't need makeup.
Can facials help with acne?
Yes. Regular professional facials are highly effective for managing acne. Deep cleansing, proper extractions, and antibacterial treatments can significantly improve breakouts and prevent future acne. For severe or cystic acne, we recommend combining facials with our Face Reality acne peel program.
Are facials good for aging skin?
Absolutely. Regular facials improve circulation, boost collagen production through massage, provide antioxidant protection, and keep skin hydrated — all essential for healthy aging. For more dramatic anti-aging results, consider combining facials with microneedling, chemical peels, or Botox treatments.
Can I get a facial if I have rosacea or sensitive skin?
Yes, but we customize your facial for your sensitive skin. We use gentle, fragrance-free products and avoid harsh exfoliation or hot steam. Always inform your aesthetician about skin sensitivities during your consultation.
What's the difference between a spa facial and medical-grade treatments?
Spa facials focus on cleansing, hydration, and relaxation using professional-grade products and techniques. Medical-grade treatments like chemical peels, microneedling, and laser treatments use advanced technology for more dramatic, lasting results. Many clients use facials for maintenance between more aggressive treatments.
Can men get facials?
Absolutely. Men's skin faces unique challenges — larger pores, thicker skin, shaving irritation, and often more oil production. Many of our male clients from Scranton and NEPA love the deep cleansing and relaxation benefits of regular facials.
Will a facial help with blackheads?
Yes. Professional extraction is one of the most effective ways to clear blackheads. Trying to remove them at home often pushes bacteria deeper into pores or causes scarring. Our aestheticians are trained in proper extraction techniques that clear blackheads safely.
Can I get a facial while pregnant?
Yes, with modifications. We avoid certain ingredients like salicylic acid and retinoids during pregnancy. Pregnancy facials focus on calming inflammation, managing hormonal breakouts, and providing relaxation — all safe for mom and baby.
Do I need to prep my skin before a facial?
No special prep is required. Arrive with or without makeup — we'll thoroughly cleanse either way. However, avoid harsh exfoliants and retinoids for 2-3 days before your appointment for best results.
How soon will I see results from a facial?
You'll see immediate results — brighter, smoother, more hydrated skin right after your treatment. Results typically last 2-4 weeks, with cumulative improvements from regular facials.
Can facials reduce pore size?
Facials can't permanently shrink pores, but regular deep cleansing keeps them clear and makes them appear smaller. Clean pores look less noticeable than clogged, stretched pores.
What should I avoid after a facial?
For 24-48 hours after your facial, avoid heavy makeup, harsh exfoliants or active ingredients (retinol, acids), intense workouts that cause excessive sweating, sun exposure without SPF protection, touching your face excessively.
Can I get a facial if I have active breakouts?
Yes. Facials can actually help clear active breakouts through deep cleansing, extractions, and antibacterial treatments. Let your aesthetician know about any painful or cystic acne so they can adjust treatment accordingly.
Do facials really make a difference?
Yes, when done regularly. While one facial provides immediate glow, consistent treatments (every 4-6 weeks) deliver cumulative benefits: clearer pores, improved texture, more even tone, better product absorption, and healthier skin overall.
Whether you're dealing with acne, aging, dryness, sensitivity, or simply want to maintain healthy, glowing skin — our expert aestheticians will create the perfect treatment for you.
