About

Awaken Aesthetics by April is an aesthetics business at 286 Park Street in North Reading, owned and run by April Bancarotta, a licensed master esthetician. The studio is open Tuesday and Thursday evenings, Wednesday and Friday mornings, and Saturday mornings, with Sunday appointments by special request and Mondays closed. Facials, advanced skin treatments, waxing, lash care and skincare consultations can be booked through an online booking button, and gift cards are available.

Each facial starts with a skin analysis, then moves through exfoliation, steam with extraction, a neck and shoulder massage and a finishing masque. The business says it aims to combine clinical results with relaxation technique and aromatherapy, and it describes its facials as professional grade and adjustable to any skin concern. April's Custom Facial, at $135, is shaped around concerns such as dryness and aging, adds hydroxy acid, high frequency and an arm massage, and is certified pregnancy safe. The Gentleman's Facial, at $95, is designed for men and includes a hydrating masque. Shorter options include the Lunch Break Facial at $90, which leaves out massage, and the Teen Time Facial at $65, built for adolescent acne with deep cleansing, gentle extractions and a healing mask.

For more intensive work, the menu includes microneedling at $350, a minimally invasive treatment for hyperpigmentation, acne scarring, sun damage, enlarged pores and wrinkles that is usually booked as a series. Luminfusion Nanoneedling at $150 is a 45-minute service that combines a retinol peel, nanoinfusion and red LED light therapy, and does not require numbing cream. The Glass Facial at $250 is a 60-minute treatment with double cleansing, microdermabrasion and dermaplaning, lymphatic drainage, cold therapy and a nutrient masque. Chemical peels, a blended-acid clinical peel for acne offered to Face Reality Bootcamp clients, Celluma LED light therapy and an Acne Fighting facial using alpha and beta hydroxy acids round out the facial menu.

HydraFacial options run from the Signature HydraFacial at $199, which does not include targeted boosters or LED, to the Grand Deluxe at $275, a 50-minute visit with boosters and LED. The 60-minute Platinum HydraFacial at $325 adds lymphatic drainage to customized boosters and red or blue LED therapy. Body versions include a Back HydraFacial at $300 for areas with acne, a treatment for the glutes at $250, a hand treatment at $99 and a neck and decollete version at $150. A series of six Platinum HydraFacials is priced at $1,625.

Beyond facials, the studio offers waxing from a nose wax at $10 up to a full leg at $90, including men's chest and back options. Waxing cannot be performed for clients currently using Retin-A, Renova or Accutane, and clients should share any medications with their aesthetician. Lash lifts and tints typically last six to eight weeks, and contact lenses must be removed before lash appointments. Consultations include an in-person or virtual skincare consultation at $50 each and an Acne Bootcamp Consultation at $100, which includes a skin and acne history review, a sensitivity test and a customized in-office and home care plan. On-location wedding and event makeup is available at varying prices, with inquiries sent by email.

Booking requires at least 24 hours notice for cancellations. Cancellations made without enough notice are charged a 50% fee, and no-shows are charged 100% of the reserved service amount. Reminders go out 48 hours before appointments.

Pairs advanced skin treatments with relaxation and wellness, aiming for clinical-style results delivered with a restorative feel.

Facials use aromatherapy and relaxation technique to keep the visit calm.
