Faceguru

Faceguru is the skincare practice of its owner, Audrey, based in Room 53 on the first floor at 1851 Huntington Dr. in Duarte. Visits are by appointment only, and clients book by phone or through the contact form.

Every facial starts from the client's skin condition and goals. The Customized facial (60 minutes, $140) includes a cleanse, steam when suitable, extractions, custom treatment products, a mask and finishing skincare. Dermaplane Glow (70 minutes, $160) pairs professional dermaplaning with a customized facial. The Ageless Facial (70 minutes, $165) is designed for mature skin and works on hydration, nourishment, firmness and texture. Acne Treatment (70 minutes, $175) is for acne-prone and congested skin and is adjusted to the skin's condition at the time rather than run as a fixed protocol. The Faceguru Signature Experience (90 minutes, $200) is a fully customized facial.

Procell Therapy is a microchanneling treatment delivered over four sessions, with pricing available on request. The salon describes it as an updated form of micro-needling that prompts the body to release peptides, cytokines and growth factors that support collagen production. According to the salon, the treatment involves about 90 minutes of downtime, compared with 3 to 5 days for standard treatments, and it is gentler than lasers and less uncomfortable. Procell aftercare serums and products are applied between sessions. The treatment is listed for fine lines and wrinkles, acne scarring, stretch marks, sun damage, dark spots, hyperpigmentation, hair loss and rosacea.

The business says the products used were carefully researched and chosen. It also mentions a V-TOX facial, though no details or pricing are listed for it.

Each treatment is tailored to the client's current skin condition and goals rather than run from a fixed template.
